00:01:12.080 owner bobby pags big trump supporter we're going to get a few words from him the enthusiasm here
00:01:17.740 unbelievable jd vance delivering a just a very very effective call to action is what i would say
00:01:25.660 looking forward to a trump presidency outlining what the president what president trump will do
00:01:30.820 when he takes office and all his focus was on the border he says it's got to be closed immediately
00:01:36.380 he says president trump as president has to send in the troops to stop the cartels the fentanyl he says
00:01:42.420 you stop the cartels you're going to stop this onslaught of fentanyl and illegals and human
00:01:48.880 trafficking coming into the country at the southern border so jd vance a long-term supporter as you know
00:01:55.180 of the president and we're going to be speaking to him momentarily but want to go to the top of the
00:02:00.820 hour here's top of the news let's get guys graphic a um right off the bat we've got a new hampshire
00:02:08.220 poll out today which is from the boston globe and nbc guys if you could put that up this is the
00:02:14.220 second poll second poll showing uh president trump now with a commanding lead in new hampshire this is
00:02:20.720 the boston globe nbc poll trump at 52 percent nikki haley 38 percent ron desantis trailing badly he's
00:02:29.200 pulled out of the state his campaign is on life support and uh we're about to pull the plug on him in
00:02:35.120 new hampshire he put all of his eggs in the south carolina basket his pack always back down or
00:02:41.000 never back down whatever the hell it's called that thing is imploding they're laying people off like
00:02:45.380 crazy the desantis campaign about done now we got a we've uh in new hampshire one of the concerns that
00:02:52.160 the trump campaign has is nikki haley and her donors have gone after independents and democrats to vote
00:02:58.060 in this primary the trump campaign identifying about 3 000 democrats that have uh registered as
00:03:06.180 independents not affiliated so they can vote for nikki haley in the upcoming primary on tuesday
00:03:12.360 that's getting her about to the 38 percent range but the enthusiasm for president trump off the charts
00:03:18.520 talking of enthusiasm for president trump joining me now ohio republican senator jd van center it's always
00:03:25.300 good to have you with us we keep bumping into it with the strangest places that's right this is a
00:03:30.260 strange place though john this is a good place and uh it's good to be on the campaign trail in
00:03:34.420 support of the president i think like you said the enthusiasm here really is off the charts and you
00:03:39.420 hit upon something that's really important here which is do we let the democrats and the media choose
00:03:43.920 our nominee because we know who the democrats and the media want as our nominee it's not donald trump
00:03:48.140 do we choose the guy who actually represents the people i think the choice for voters in new
00:03:53.200 hampshire is very easy i think we're going to win here and i think when we win here it's time for the
00:03:57.340 party to stop this madness spend money on the general election on beating joe biden rather than
00:04:02.220 on tearing down our nominee you know senator one of the uh that one of the hypocrisies of the haley
00:04:07.240 campaign is she's saying well i'm the only one that can beat biden democrats are registering as not
00:04:14.280 affiliated to vote for haley so in the fall they can turn around and vote for biden because they think
00:04:19.600 she's an easier uh target than president trump who's now way ahead in the polls i mean is that
00:04:24.960 just the height of hypocrisy it's completely crazy john look this entire thing is based on an idea
00:04:30.060 that voters don't know nikki haley that well across the country okay so what she's saying is well look
00:04:36.440 i'm a better general election candidate than donald trump but you think that she's going to still be
00:04:41.040 standing after the democrats drop hundreds of millions of attack ads after the media machine goes
00:04:46.140 to war against her the only candidate i think we have with the resilience in the face of those
00:04:50.620 media attacks is donald trump which is why i think voters are going to select him as our nominee
00:04:54.300 you know senator one of the things uh there's a lot of many things i respect about you but why i really
00:04:59.480 wanted to come to your event today and why i came to your event in uh atlanta a couple couple weeks back
00:05:05.240 is uh your loyalty to the movement and to president trump you're in a very competitive
00:05:12.260 primary with some really good candidates and you were going to get outspent no question about it
00:05:17.160 and uh president trump came to your aid endorsed you that put you over the top and and actually
00:05:23.380 enabled you to be senator representing people of ohio when trump announced a mar-a-lago you came out
00:05:29.160 immediately for president trump there was no hesitation explain that move well look i i one of the things
00:05:34.340 i've learned in washington and just in life is loyalty really matters i come from an appalachian family
00:05:39.900 uh appalachians believe in their heart uh that you're loyal to people right and president trump
00:05:45.860 was a good president like you said he helped me a lot in my own race and he's a good man you combine
00:05:51.400 all those three things together i think it's really sick frankly how many in the republican party try to
00:05:56.000 throw him under the bus it's a little bit weird and that's just not how you treat people i'm going to
00:06:00.560 be loyal to the president because i think that he was not just loyal to me but he's loyal to the country
00:06:04.760 that's the most important thing senator let's get the business in congress right now the
00:06:09.000 uh senator langford mcconnell bill uh when i first read that honestly i thought i was reading the
00:06:14.680 onion like i couldn't believe that a republican senate would actually forward a bill for amnesty
00:06:21.720 5 000 illegals come in so i guess 5 000 a day means they're legal or not only that didn't make any sense
00:06:29.020 then they're going to get they're going to get right to work they're going to get ids they're going to get
00:06:32.760 driver's license they basically want to codify the uh obama doctrine of open border policy i mean
00:06:40.440 how does how do people take the republican party seriously when they put out that kind of a bill
00:06:45.900 it's a disaster john and they're not going to take us seriously and it's going to depress
00:06:50.280 turnout and enthusiasm people need to know that the republican party is going to stand for something
00:06:54.780 here that doesn't mean amnesty for thousands of illegal aliens per day it doesn't mean refusing to
00:07:00.560 really negotiate on the border crisis and importantly john this is all a fig leaf the american people
00:07:06.680 are being told this is a border security package it's all in the service of sending another 61
00:07:11.520 billion dollars to ukraine we should not be doing that to begin with and we certainly shouldn't be
00:07:16.180 doing it for the fig leaf of border security that's really just amnesty in your judgment what is
00:07:21.320 really the genesis of the obsession with continuing to fund ukraine when we have to borrow the money from
00:07:29.480 china to do it like explain that look i think i hate to say it john a lot of people are getting
00:07:34.120 rich about it or getting rich off of it a lot of defense contractors and a lot of people who
00:07:38.600 don't like donald trump who are making a lot of money from this but i also think john
00:07:41.900 it's people can't admit error i don't begrudge anybody for being wrong about this particular
00:07:46.440 conflict i've been saying for a long time this is going to turn into a quagmire no end in sight
00:07:51.280 the question you have to ask yourself is at what point do we admit to ourselves this was a big
00:07:56.000 mistake it's hard for people you know it's hard for me to admit that i was wrong but this ukraine
00:08:01.060 conflict is a disaster this is one really important point on this john if we don't stop doing this we
00:08:06.720 are not going to have enough weapons to defend our own country we don't make enough of that stuff in
00:08:11.200 this country anymore east asia china others make way too much of it so what we're putting ourselves
00:08:16.080 in a situation is all of the bullets all the artillery shells all the missile systems are going to
00:08:21.140 ukraine what about american troops if god forbid we have to fight a war for our own defense
00:08:25.580 let me ask you this because you're 100 correct uh if there's an invasion of taiwan right now
00:08:31.580 based on what you're aware of in your position in the senate are we prepared for that i don't think
00:08:38.260 that we are john i in fact i i think the biggest concern with what's going on in ukraine is it is
00:08:43.400 inviting chinese aggression because they know we don't have the weapons systems to support both
00:08:48.580 ukraine and taiwan and look i've been i've been against putting more resources in ukraine from the
00:08:53.920 beginning taiwan is a totally different story john as you appreciate if if the chinese take taiwan
00:09:00.120 we lose our computer chips we lose a ton of the new technologies that are necessary to power the
00:09:05.420 modern economy we can't let the chinese walk into taiwan but that's exactly what we're going to do
00:09:11.060 if we don't get more serious about prioritizing this is the heart of statesmanship john donald trump could
00:09:17.720 prioritize okay we've got this problem and this problem this problem we've got to focus on one
00:09:22.680 more than the others biden is just throwing crap against the wall and hoping some of it sticks
00:09:27.700 unfortunately too many congressional republicans are doing the same thing center of the spending bill
00:09:32.460 that a lot of a lot of us believe that uh speaker mike johnson just sold out again like mccarthy sold
00:09:39.020 out on the debt so you've got another cr going down no changes no cuts uh what is again the frustration
00:09:46.800 what is the purpose of the republican majority in the house when they're basically running the mccarthy
00:09:52.100 pelosi spending agenda well it's unfortunately the one thing i will say in in speaker johnson's
00:09:58.440 defense and we really have to hold republicans feet to the fire on this is that he's not going to let
00:10:02.840 the amnesty deal move through the house that's the most important thing i will the link i will forgive
00:10:08.060 any sin if we don't allow this ukraine first amnesty bill to move through the house but look
00:10:14.020 the problem john we're kicking the can down the road um these continuing resolutions they don't deal
00:10:19.880 with our spending problem they don't force us to actually ask tough questions how much revenue is
00:10:23.900 coming in how much revenue is going out you can't run a government government by kicking the can down
00:10:28.940 the road you can't run a household budget by kicking the can down the road you certainly shouldn't be
00:10:32.780 doing it in the federal government uh i know your time is short in ohio in the last election uh ohioans
00:10:40.500 a codified abortion on demand which took it off the ballot which basically is the end of any hope
00:10:47.040 of your uh ohio democrat colleague from getting re-elected in my judgment um i think that was a
00:10:52.680 bad night for him but um when you look at the abortion issue and the way it drove people out
00:10:57.820 especially in virginia was a number one issue uh when you go into this election it's kind of gotten
00:11:04.020 off the radar screen but the turnout was there what should republicans position on this be how do we
00:11:10.500 navigate our way through that because it's going to be a big issue again no it is and look my attitude
00:11:15.260 here is i'm very pro-life i want to save as many babies as humanly possible we can't do that unless
00:11:19.920 we win elections right so we have to advance an argument to the american people that they actually
00:11:24.780 buy into and they're willing to support us and vote for us i think the middle ground right now john
00:11:29.880 is something like a 15-week abortion ban with exceptions for rape and incest protect the babies
00:11:35.660 that can feel pain set it set a standard and then let the states figure it out from there i think
00:11:40.680 that's electorally possible and that's an argument we can actually win what we've shown we can't win
00:11:45.600 the argument is when they are coming to us saying that if you are raped this republican is going to
00:11:51.940 make you you know carry the baby to term that's not a winning political argument for us john do i
00:11:56.640 think it's false do i think that it's a fake argument do i think it's unfair yes but you got to win
00:12:01.760 the argument before you can actually legislate and that's not what we're doing yet are you in favor of
00:12:05.840 federalizing the 15 weeks or leaving it up to each individual state the way ohio did i i like the
00:12:11.620 idea of a minimum federal standard and then let the states figure it out from there if california
00:12:16.120 wants to set different rules if ohio wants to set different rules but look 15 weeks that's crazy
00:12:20.900 no european country allows abortion after 15 weeks that's when the fetus the baby in my view can
00:12:25.940 actually feel real pain i think that's a total reasonable standard i think 80 percent of the american
00:12:30.260 people agree with us senator you came into the senate uh and whenever you first come in told a
00:12:36.580 lot of different things got to your office what was the biggest surprise that you had as a new senator
00:12:42.880 senators don't work very hard john which i guess when chuck schumer is the majority leader maybe that's not
00:12:47.500 the worst thing in the world but it is shocking how much vacation time that we get when there are so
00:12:52.660 many crises in the world um you know we actually need to do the american people's business we stop
00:12:58.060 kicking the can down the road do some real legislation and unfortunately the senate's just
00:13:01.820 doing way too little that if trump wins again you're in the senate is there anything where
00:13:07.760 everybody's concerned now about the administrative state the number of federal employees that biden has
00:13:13.860 hired is stunning it's crazy you think obama hired a lot i mean there's not an opening they got desks
00:13:19.520 with people without phones and computers they're just there to vote for them hand out ballots or whatever
00:13:24.160 they do in violation of the hatch act is there anything really that we can do to break up this
00:13:30.520 uh logger hold that the administrative state has in trying to stop everything that president trump is
00:13:36.500 going to do like they did 17 to 20. there is something that we can do and by the way just on
00:13:41.980 this point i i deal with this all the time with constituents in ohio who can't get their social
00:13:46.440 security benefits paid and yet biden's bureaucrats in washington at the social security administration
00:13:51.340 aren't even showing up for work they're working from home while the people that i serve cannot get
00:13:56.620 the benefits they're entitled to it's insane it's completely disgraceful that we allow this to happen
00:14:00.680 in our government and it makes me very mad the thing that we can do to solve the administrative
00:14:04.420 state is very simple and it's the most important thing maybe for donald trump to be able to do he's
00:14:09.760 got to fire federal bureaucrats who don't listen to him it's really it sounds simple but it actually
00:14:15.540 requires a senate and a house that are willing to stand up and defend the president you know if
00:14:21.020 donald trump to fire some bureaucrat and the media says this is a threat to democracy this is fascism
00:14:27.100 he actually needs his congressional allies to stand up and show some spine because that will be the
00:14:31.840 moment that determines are we a constitutional republic or are we an oligarchy that's run by
00:14:36.100 bureaucracity excuse me an oligarchy run by bureaucracy senator jady vance always good to see

00:17:08.080 tomorrow at this rally senator south carolina now this is going to be a death knell blow to nikki
00:17:16.040 haley who was the former governor of south carolina so tim scott who dropped out of the race a few
00:17:20.980 months ago just couldn't get traction set to endorse president trump but we got a little power
00:17:26.640 issue here at saddle saddle up going on so kind of bear with us if we go in and out you're going to

00:17:47.220 the south carolina poll that just came out the other day this is the fabriiza poll this is before
00:17:53.100 tim scott's endorsement of nikki haley let's put these numbers up right hold on to your seat put these
00:18:00.220 numbers up trump 64 percent excuse me i thought nikki haley was the governor there haley 25 percent
00:18:07.960 to say at this who has moved the final vestiges the final skeleton crew of his campaign against six
00:18:14.280 people move them to south carolina he's at eight percent he just needs to get out of this race
00:18:19.980 before he further embarrasses himself get back to tallahassee and do what governors do this thing
00:18:26.100 over for him but trump 64 25 over haley this is before the tim scott endorsement you put that in
00:18:32.800 there it's probably going to go up higher this is going to be the end of nikki haley so you can kind
00:18:37.840 of forget that latest poll numbers out joining me now let's get a two shot here the owner of uh
00:18:45.760 the of the saddle up saloon here in kingston a great trump supporter bobby pags bobby it was so nice
00:18:53.780 of you to have this big event here this rally with jd vance uh you've been a big trump supporter bobby
00:18:59.140 you know tell us about what inspired this whole thing so since trump was president right correct
00:19:07.240 and uh i thought it was the best time those you know since he was president was the best time for
00:19:14.960 me personally uh since he's been out things have gone to shit part of my french and uh now let's make
00:19:23.100 america great again you know what i mean let me pay the fine it's worth it but uh free drinks for
00:19:29.260 everybody yeah no anyways um so i try to support you know trump as much as possible so when i got
00:19:38.840 reached out they asked me if they could use the location i said absolutely let's do it well bobby we
00:19:43.340 really appreciate that this is a great location for jd vance he loved it and uh as a business owner
00:19:49.780 uh with the difference in owning your business between trump president and biden president just
00:19:56.140 describe some of the economics going on as a small business owner bobby pags well let's describe one
00:20:00.580 thing people were spending a lot more money when trump was around things have definitely changed uh
00:20:06.040 people's wallets are tighter um obviously because you know people still somehow collect an unemployment
00:20:12.960 which is killing us okay now things are running out and now people have no money and wondering why
00:20:18.900 you know when i was looking for workers for the last four years all of a sudden everyone wants a job
00:20:23.020 but you know they were home collecting during this and it hurt you know so that's the deal
00:20:29.620 that we we've been hearing this i mean i i have so many small businesses that uh are customers of
00:20:35.580 of mine on my radio network and you know you ask them you know tell me your biggest challenge
00:20:39.560 what keeps you up at night and it's not like well a declining economy in place you know what the
00:20:43.680 number one concern is of the business owner they they can't find help can't find out they can't
00:20:47.840 it doesn't matter what they pay they can't find help and i'm like why why is that i mean 18 months
00:20:54.060 of covid changed a quarter at 200 and quarter of a century culture in a country 18 months of covid
00:21:03.700 changed the whole culture everybody wanted to work they wanted to be successful they wanted to get up
00:21:07.580 they wanted to have a job you know they wanted to move up the ladder young old that didn't matter
00:21:11.460 now these younger people they don't they don't they don't want to go to work listen let's talk about
00:21:16.280 this how about dishwashers at 16 years old 120 an hour unheard of how do you survive you don't it's
00:21:23.620 a struggle i i remember when my son my uh oldest son jack was 16 or 15 or something he was a dish
00:21:30.580 washer and he got the minimum wage like eight eight dollars and they were like when when he got paid
00:21:35.660 he was so proud of that you know that he actually accomplished something he had you know little uh money
00:21:40.360 for different things he wanted to get and uh you know he took every overtime every weekend they gave
00:21:45.580 him bust the tables was happy to do it now you can't find help can't find help because we changed
00:21:50.580 the culture you got it that's what happened right exactly right tell us about the level of enthusiasm
00:21:56.280 you're getting from people that come into your establishment that are trump supporters what's
00:22:02.380 different between now and 2020 do you see a difference i do see a difference what is i see
00:22:07.920 the trump supporters are definitely growing even more um but i mean settle soon i don't know anyone
00:22:15.100 that comes here that's not a trump supporter so this is the trump place to be this is the trump

00:22:42.320 okay we're going to get now to this uh this this battle going on on the border uh president trump
00:22:49.980 today blasting mitch mcconnell and uh senator langford blasting that bill as you just heard senator jd
00:22:56.580 vance did uh skewering them urging senators not to support that bill urging house members to kill
00:23:04.440 it in the crib this basically is an amnesty bill you know what reminds me of remember the gang of eight
00:23:09.740 remember this is what defeated eric canter in virginia dave bratt beat eric canter in virginia
00:23:16.160 on this one issue was the gang of eight when he had what was it mccain and mark warner and
00:23:20.840 rubio all playing footsie in in there with uh barack obama on amnesty trying to get that done
00:23:27.480 this bill is a facade it's a fake and it's it's put forth by republicans this is the problem we have
00:23:35.480 with the party at the end of the day it stands for nothing it's the unit party the whole thing is a mess
00:23:41.940 and you just get become dispirited this thing has to be just uprooted lock stock and barrel
00:23:48.240 i had a uh reporter asked me earlier what happens in 2028 here was my answer after trump wins whatever
00:23:55.980 we want to have happen because this is the greatest movement the greatest populist movement in the
00:24:01.940 history of this country and when trump wins when president trump puts his hand in the bible january
00:24:08.640 a high noon january 20th 2029 i'm 20 i'm sorry 2025 2029 is when i'm retiring right i get them all mixed up
00:24:18.120 25 that's going to be the first day where this thing starts and i'm not looking ahead to 28 but
00:24:23.740 i'm going to tell you this by that time we will have taken over the republican party it's going to
00:24:29.200 be a wholly owned subsidiary of maga the populist movement america first there's going to be no
00:24:35.700 pathway to get nominated for dog catcher without our votes that's how big this movement is folks
00:24:40.380 and so as dispirited as you can be now looking at these amnesty bills and looking at what speaker
00:24:46.780 johnson did or whatever you want to call him mj you know selling out again kicking a can down the
00:24:51.640 road no cuts nobody stands for anything but all we get is talk they go on fox news yabbity yabbity
00:24:56.980 yabbity all they do is talk at the end of the day you know we're talking about oh 100 people voted
00:25:01.560 no well over 100 voted yes that's that's it's not the 100 voted no over 100 voted yes they passed
00:25:10.780 this bill with democrat support if you look at what's going on right now the speaker of the house
00:25:17.220 is hakeem jeffries that's the speaker i mean that's just reality and it doesn't matter what we do he's
00:25:23.700 calling the shots barack obama is running the white house and mike johnson can't compete with these
00:25:28.900 people he just is in over his head and look mccarthy was a swamp rat he just wanted the money and the
00:25:34.920 power we knew that we kicked him out now we got a guy that just can't compete he can't stand for
00:25:39.500 anything they're afraid to shut the government down and stand up to schumer and stand up to
00:25:43.860 hakeem jeffries and stand up to the fake news state-run media they're all scared to death i mean
00:25:49.020 you can't run you can't run a movement you can't run a party when you run it out of fear and what are
00:25:56.140 they afraid of right i think we went down again are we still on i'm still good how much time we got okay
00:26:03.380 i'm still good we got a problem here with the power going in and out so if i seem a little dark
00:26:07.460 uh it's not that they gremlins turned it out on us but um we have a little problem with the power
00:26:12.420 but that is the bottom line folks when you're fighting barack obama who is running the country
00:26:17.220 you can't go to a knife fight with a pop gun which is what johnson does obama goes in with tanks and
00:26:29.320 half tracks and flamethrowers i mean you just can't compete with these people and we refuse to stand up to
00:26:35.600 them we refuse to fight we refuse to go to the american people and say the country is going
00:26:41.260 bankrupt we have to cut spending we can't continue to do this we're going to have to shut this thing
00:26:46.260 down until the senate passes our bills it's up to them to do this because we cannot continue it on
00:26:51.920 the same path but they never do it so they're always afraid well you know we're going to lose
00:26:56.480 the narrative what good is the narrative if you don't have a country that's basically where we are
00:27:01.260 right now a lot of stuff going on and uh we're going to be an rav is going to be right there

00:30:17.060 new hampshire look i want to give a shout out to an old friend who just came back with the company
00:30:21.580 austin sorensen running the camera right in front of me left the company went to denver went to work
00:30:27.940 for one of those news outlets they treat him like crap couldn't stand it couldn't make any decisions
00:30:32.500 hated it right so now he's back and he's running the camera now one thing about austin i gotta deal with
00:30:38.220 he's a jets fan jets suck dallas sucks they all suck sorry but uh i guess if you're a dallas fan
00:30:45.120 did you see jerry jones crying on tv at first i saw it and i'm like oh i hate to see a grown man cry
00:30:51.440 so that kind of felt bad for him for about two seconds and then he didn't so cowboys out anyway
00:30:56.240 jets good luck next season when you get aaron rogers back and we'll see what happens if you
00:31:00.700 finally have a quarterback austin great to have you back with uh rv and the and the and the team
00:31:06.840 joining me now daniel shepherd he is the stratham county captain of the trump 24 uh 2024 campaign
00:31:15.560 daniel tell me what does a county captain do what are your responsibilities and how does it look
00:31:20.160 well uh as a town captain we are getting the ground game going we're doing a lot of door knocking we're
00:31:27.220 doing a lot of uh phone calling uh so we keep the phone banks going um we help with all of the rallies
00:31:33.980 there have been quite a few lately it's new hampshire so uh things get real busy this time
00:31:38.740 of year now tell me about stratham county like for the people that are national that not from
00:31:43.600 new hampshire where is it how does it fit into the whole geography here well town of stratham is a
00:31:48.700 part of rockingham county where we are now um it's in that small little segment of new hampshire
00:31:55.000 that touches the atlantic ocean about 16 miles between massachusetts and maine so we get a little
00:32:01.240 bit of ocean there and the surfing is pretty good i'm told and as a county captain for team trump 2024
00:32:08.040 what are you actually doing what are your responsibilities uh for me it's been mostly
00:32:13.100 getting to a lot of these events just helping move the people through helping set up uh phone banking
00:32:20.040 uh door knocking making sure we're going to get the turnout at the polls that we really need to do and
00:32:25.600 this one is important because as you've been saying nikki haley is trying to come across as a real viable
00:32:32.220 candidate um and she you know i don't believe she really is i think chris christie stepped out when
00:32:39.240 he did just to make it look like she was getting momentum coming in um but we need everyone here in
00:32:46.520 new hampshire to come out and vote for trump because we want to shut down any appearance of momentum that
00:32:54.220 it'll just cause more dollars to go the way of nikki haley and just drag this thing out further
00:32:59.300 so daniel um you're talking to the grassroots i mean you're getting people out you're calling voters
00:33:04.800 trying to get them out for trump and uh so you have one-to-one contact with voters on a very personal
00:33:11.440 level in your in your county what are they saying uh the border is is a big issue um not only is has
00:33:21.220 everyone been watching the southern border for the last couple years but now more and more we're
00:33:27.540 hearing the news about people coming over the northern border out of canada and coming into
00:33:32.880 new hampshire from above so people are very concerned about that um anyone that's gone to a grocery store
00:33:39.600 knows how much prices are just soaring uh it was buck 88 a gallon when trump left and it's about
00:33:47.540 three bucks now it's it's just crazy what what prices have been doing it so everyone is feeling
00:33:53.560 that pain um and there's always concern about a flood of immigrants i mean we're a nation of
00:34:00.540 immigrants my wife is an immigrant a legal immigrant um but to just overwhelm the systems the schools the
00:34:09.040 hospitals people are are starting to get concerned about that as well it hasn't been as bad in new
00:34:14.620 hampshire but it's starting to really you're starting to hear that buzz now as well when you're
00:34:20.260 phone banking and you're on the phone and you call up a voter and you said you know are you going to
00:34:25.040 come out vote for president trump and they say no i'm voting for hailey uh are you getting are they
00:34:30.120 telling you why do they have a reason uh yes and it's actually very disturbing in fact one of the nice
00:34:36.880 things about new hampshire is it's a small state it's very early on so everyone comes here uh i i've
00:34:44.960 got to talk to kerry lake i've got to talk to donald trump um jd vance just now and you you get to meet
00:34:52.560 with all of these people it's much more intimate so you you start hearing things and i've talked to a
00:34:58.780 number of people just within the state and i'm not going to say any names because as i said it's a small
00:35:03.640 state but the best i can hear is them saying we need younger blood and it's like well what good is
00:35:11.700 younger blood if they're going to take a year two years with everything going on at this critical
00:35:17.600 stage uh we need someone that's going to hit the ground running not someone who's going to learn the
00:35:24.220 job because they're younger blood and don't have the experience donald trump will hit the ground day one
00:35:29.980 with the experience in fact one thing i've heard in talking to these people it comes through the state
00:35:35.000 um is it has been considered i don't know how far how true but it's been considered by some people
00:35:44.060 surrounding the trump campaign that when he is elected he takes the oath of office turns around
00:35:51.500 signs a paper and then gives his acceptance speech and explains the extent of the executive order
00:35:57.460 that he just signed i think that would be epic i hope he does it um but that's the kind of
00:36:04.060 responsiveness we need about that think about that visual right because out that i was at the
00:36:09.700 inauguration and i guess it was january 20th 12 o'clock 2017 so and you know he puts his hand in the
00:36:17.160 bible takes the oath of office and then he gives his speech and i thought it was a fabulous speech he
00:36:21.380 made i was i was there and we talked about stopping the carnage it was pretty good but so what your
00:36:26.720 visual is puts his hand on the bible he is sworn in as president they hand them an executive order
00:36:32.800 to close the border he signs it and then he makes a speech what did that that would define the whole
00:36:40.700 first year it sure would it's like action action action no question about it now what about this what
00:36:48.260 about well i've been at the the new new hampshire so many times um and i know we never had this like
00:36:54.880 democrats voting in republican primaries i mean i've been coming here since uh jack kemp 88 and by the
00:37:01.780 way the kemp campaign in 80 one of my favorite campaigns we got 20 here finished third and it was
00:37:07.480 almost like desantis in uh iowa uh the campaign operatives and you know jack kemp cars at the time
00:37:14.460 they were just jubilant over their third place finish at 20 and i went to the bar and i i i
00:37:20.000 downed i down four fingers of vodka in like eight seconds because the campaign was over and it was
00:37:26.300 like these guys are delusional i mean we're not going to win we don't have any money and we just
00:37:30.020 finished third like it's over kind of like desantis jumping and dancing around on stage it's like dude
00:37:35.780 you're done i've been through this but so i was here 88 and then i was with b cannon in 92
00:37:41.460 uh and then uh of course uh forbes in 96 i didn't win that one either but uh so lost a lot of them
00:37:50.740 that i was here but i never experienced democrats voting in the republican primary what is up with
00:37:56.000 this well i think there are in fact i've tested this even by i'll go out sometimes with my keep
00:38:03.520 make america great again hat on and i'll just go to the store and stuff like that and i never get a
00:38:09.140 negative comment but i get an awful lot of smiles so a lot of the trump supporters i believe are kind
00:38:16.120 of in stealth mode i think a lot of them register independent but are really trump supporters now
00:38:22.780 driving in here i saw a number of signs that said independence for nikki hailey so i know there's a
00:38:29.300 push if you're a democrat you had to have signed up as a republican or an independent last october
00:38:35.200 so democrats they've either done it by now or they haven't but independence can change uh well
00:38:41.940 they can vote in the republican primary and by doing so they're automatically registered as a
00:38:47.040 republican and if they want to go back to an independent they have to fill out a form as they
00:38:51.660 leave and they'll be back as an independent if you're if you're they call it here unaffiliated
00:38:56.080 voter or independent that's kind of the term unaffiliated so if you're unaffiliated voter
00:39:00.580 independent you can walk and ask for a republican ballot but then you're automatically registered as
00:39:05.160 republican right do you want to change that for the next vote in the next democrat primary or
00:39:10.060 whatever you want to do then you got to change it back to unaffiliated right or back to whatever you
00:39:14.780 do so look i mean that that but that's been going on for a hundred years i mean it's not like that's a
00:39:20.960 new rule that somebody put in there that's been going on for a hundred years no problem uh except now
00:39:26.540 now what do you think of this what do you think of the biden write-in thing what is what is the deal
00:39:31.740 with that um i think you've just got some biden supporters who maybe they're embarrassed they're
00:39:38.140 frustrated i don't know what the reason is that they um are are wanting to do this but they want
00:39:44.180 to write it in as though they think they're going to get biden to win in new hampshire which i think is
00:39:49.820 preposterous i i don't think there are enough biden biden voters with the enthusiasm to even come out and
00:39:55.680 vote let alone the ones that are going to come out and do a write-in so i i think it's crazy
00:40:02.180 it'll probably result in him getting a very low percentage but what can you do they are slighted
00:40:09.820 new hampshire they're going to have to lick their wounds afterwards so because you still have the
00:40:14.500 primary the interesting i find out is no democratic delegates from new hampshire will be awarded
00:40:20.860 regardless of what the outcome is there's because they violated biden's order the dnc's order
00:40:27.100 which was to push this back they're having it anyway they don't get any delegates so when you
00:40:32.060 go to the convention wherever in chicago if you're a democrat in new hampshire there's no there's not
00:40:36.940 even you don't have to have those signs for the state right new hampshire virginia all that there's
00:40:41.580 not even gonna be a sign there because there's no delegates now what happens on the democratic side
00:40:46.700 what what happens when uh dean phillips the uh obscure congressman from minnesota actually does
00:40:53.360 win the new hampshire democratic primary because like he's on the ballot biden's not what what how is
00:41:01.460 the state-run media going to spin that you know your guess is as good as mine i i can't try and
00:41:08.000 interpret what democrats do sometimes and this is certainly one of those bizarre things where
00:41:13.280 why they i well you just maybe they just didn't want him to be that embarrassed by running flat
00:41:19.840 out exactly well they were they were afraid somebody would challenge him and beat him that's
00:41:23.160 why they got it they went to south carolina where that was the first one they won the last time right
00:41:28.800 so they're hoping the whole with nicky haley being down there and trump beating her no one will notice
00:41:34.360 how poorly biden does in south carolina because they'll be focused on the republicans who knows okay now
00:41:39.780 tell me uh when i was to come here and i lost track we were just came from iowa we were supposed
00:41:45.880 to be here two days ago we just got here thank the good lord for getting us here safely getting
00:41:51.740 just ahead of the snow but uh back in the day the manchester union leader the newspaper if they
00:41:57.760 made an endorsement it was like a big deal it was a big deal back then i remember in 96 uh
00:42:05.040 forbes i was a forbes supporter steve forbes and he had a big lead here and at the last minute the
00:42:11.440 union leader came out and endorsed pap buchanan who i was adamantly for in 92 but i was for forbes
00:42:17.340 in 96 and buchanan ended up winning the primary based on that endorsement what have they done now
00:42:23.120 you know it's all of the sort of mainstream media type uh conduits newspapers the television
00:42:32.200 you know the main uh tv channels um they just don't carry as much weight i mean i came here i saw
00:42:39.900 you here and i'm thinking wow they want to talk to me it's the war room it's john fredericks it's like
00:42:46.460 two for one this is great all we need is mike glindell to walk through the background and we've got
00:42:51.060 everyone so it's a daily double yeah yeah this is okay god do i do i have a minute okay let's talk
00:42:58.420 some foot football okay look guys i do sports all right i know steve doesn't but like i'm gonna
00:43:03.720 i'm hosting his show don't forget godzilla wins tomorrow 8 a.m bill belichick what's the deal
00:43:09.680 you happy about it yeah yeah i think it's i think it's time for him to go i think without tom brady in

00:45:44.400 of the things that you look at this mike johnson cave it's just unbelievable right everybody's sick
00:45:50.660 of him and he's only been there two months because he doesn't do anything he goes around with the glasses
00:45:55.400 and you know caves into the caves into the swamp but you know one of the things that people aren't
00:46:00.520 realizing what's going on here and i'm going to just i'm going to tell you to straight what like i
00:46:04.660 always do one of the biggest problems we got with uh the republicans in congress is the hill staffers
00:46:12.480 the hill staffers people that have been there for 10 20 years the so-called institutional knowledge
00:46:20.100 right that you're always talking about because they've been there look they're they're a lot of
00:46:24.260 these guys and gals they're just part of the swamp they're just part of the nostalgia they're just
00:46:28.920 part of the status quo they're just part of what happens let me tell you the biggest mistake
00:46:33.140 that mike johnson made as soon as he got in there day one he should have fired mccarthy staff his
00:46:39.300 speaker staff got all new people from the outside that had the moxie and had the courage to advise
00:46:46.080 him to do the right thing instead what does he do he gets in there and he's got the entire kevin
00:46:51.680 mccarthy staff that's it so he's got all of his staff members in his ear telling him do this do that
00:46:57.640 we can't shut the government down here's what happened in with newt gingrich 30 years ago and
00:47:02.640 you know clinton got the upper hand whatever it is that they're saying it's the staffs that are a
00:47:07.240 problem and it's taken it's taken me a while to figure this out like what is going on with these
00:47:11.740 people right they're entrenched in there they're almost as they're almost as bad as the administrative
00:47:16.780 state i gotta tell you though who figured it out let me tell you who figured this out took her three
00:47:23.780 years let me tell you who figured it out nancy mace republican congresswoman south carolina
00:47:30.940 the low country she's been there three years you know she didn't like what was going she's getting
00:47:36.580 a lot of bad advice do this do that all the establishment go with mccarthy vote for the
00:47:41.580 debts all the stuff so her staff was saying so she made a few changes here and there you know got a
00:47:46.620 new person in the legislative aid got a new this guy like kind of around the edges right finally she
00:47:53.000 had enough nancy mace has figured it out she said it is the swamp of the hill staffers are what is
00:48:01.420 driving these deals and they're pathetic so here's what she did she had the moxie to fire everybody in
00:48:10.440 one day she had a meeting and she just fired the entire staff she kept the assistant answering the
00:48:16.760 phone she cleaned house in one day now all the news politico and everybody picked it up and they
00:48:23.060 called their witch and mean nancy and she fired everybody and everybody complained about her and
00:48:27.440 her chief of staff dan hanlon you know took the popcorn machine out like a little weasel right all
00:48:33.160 that went on nancy mace figured it out and then she took action this is why she's one of the most i don't
00:48:39.780 agree with her on everything it doesn't matter it's one of the most effective congress people in there
00:48:45.080 because she does something they fired a whole bunch of them now we find out get this she fires
00:48:50.860 them now she finds out that kevin mccarthy was making was uh making secret deals behind her back
00:48:59.980 with her chief of staff dan hanlon who she fired in that total massacre and wiping them out so you got
00:49:06.460 mccarthy calling her chief of staff trying to undermine the congresswoman this is what's going on there
00:49:13.960 this is why this whole thing has got to get ripped up from the bottom up and mace got it right now let
00:49:21.360 me tell you how bad this is she fires the chief of staff dan hanlon for selling her out to mccarthy
00:49:28.180 behind her back this is her chief of staff i mean imagine you're a congresswoman and your chief of
00:49:35.180 staff and his people that he's hired are stabbing you in the back with a speaker this is unbelievable
00:49:40.600 so she fires him she fires them all starts over guess what then hanlon turns around and goes to
00:49:47.300 mccarthy and tries to get his pack money he lives in washington dc this guy hanlon who took the popcorn
00:49:53.220 machine out whatever dude is gonna get an apartment in her district and run in a primary against her
00:50:00.540 with mccarthy's money i mean do you understand what we're up against here this whole thing
00:50:07.300 it from top to bottom is so corrupt the entire institution is corrupt it's all corrupt now part
00:50:15.900 of it is these hill staffers on the republican side that have been there forever they get go from job to
00:50:20.780 job office to office then they go on a committee then they get the majority then they get more money
00:50:25.120 then they go on this committee it's all a scam we're all being scammed by these people so now this
00:50:30.600 guy dan hanlon her turncoat backstabbing undermining chief of staff is now going to run against her in
00:50:37.780 a primary with mccarthy's money because she voted to get rid of mccarthy because he sold out every
00:50:43.860 promise he made on spending that's why she voted against them now her chief of staff which she fired
00:50:48.520 is going to try to run against her and get rid of her so we can continue the swamp in dc if you really
00:50:55.300 want to understand what is going on here the four years that i spent living in dc during the week
00:51:01.380 when i was uh covering the trump white house and i had a hard pass and i went to those uh whatever
00:51:08.540 they were those press conferences every day with uh sean spicer and then uh and then uh sarah sanders
00:51:15.080 and then kelly mccarthy you go there during the week and you live there you understand how corrupt
00:51:20.940 that town is the money that flows out they they're all all the people there they're all feeding off
00:51:26.880 the pig trough and i was to ask myself all these people these big cars these big houses around
00:51:31.300 virginia these mansions what what do they do do they produce anything no do they make anything no
00:51:37.880 do they grow anything no do they manufacture anything no do they invent anything no they're worse
00:51:45.500 than the gangster banksters on wall street taking your money every day for moving paper around they
00:51:52.060 don't do anything either this is the problem in this country and the the washington the whole
00:51:57.360 infrastructure there is so corrupt and it's all full rats right hamlin rat stabs her boss in the back
00:52:04.440 and then goes and runs against her with mccarthy's pack money it's unbelievable the rats there i got rid of
00:52:10.720 the rats where i lived because i brought in sammy the cat for a week and a half stayed there for 10
00:52:18.300 days never saw a rat again sammy did his job john fredericks funding you for steve banning on the war
00:52:25.260 room we'll see you tomorrow stay with us i want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming
00:52:44.240 to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed
00:52:50.020 through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring
00:52:55.500 our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the
00:53:01.700 independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author
00:53:06.540 is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new
00:53:12.420 level in fact some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:53:17.240 expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the
00:53:24.060 wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank
00:53:30.360 accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning
00:53:36.940 fortunately jim rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate
00:53:41.680 us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money
