00:00:00.000 How has the deal been reached to reopen the stream of Hormones?
00:00:03.040 Well, I don't want to say it has been. It's sort of open right now.
00:00:06.840 You know, we have a thing called the blockade headed up by the U.S. Navy, and we control it.
00:00:12.240 And now we control it, but they can always shoot something.
00:00:15.760 They always have something or drop a mine.
00:00:18.200 And if you have one mine sitting out there, you sort of mess things up
00:00:21.780 because people don't want to take their billion-dollar boats and accidentally get hit by a mine.
00:00:27.680 But I think we're doing very well.
00:00:29.680 I just, you know, I'm involved in the negotiation.
00:00:32.860 I think we're doing fine.
00:00:34.000 It could be, it could be said.
00:00:36.880 Fortunately, I built up so much during my term.
00:00:40.200 I rebuilt the military and also loaded it up with a lot of stuff.
00:00:43.900 We have certain types of munitions that are very powerful, that we have unlimited, virtual unlimited supply.
00:00:51.340 We have others where it's a little bit tighter and we're getting them in on a daily basis.
00:00:56.780 As you know, our defense companies are building more plans right now than at any point in history.
00:01:02.400 Well, we know that the way voter suppression works, you know, there are three component pieces.
00:01:06.320 Can you register and stay on the rolls? Can you cast a ballot? And does that ballot get counted?
00:01:11.220 And so in a lot of these states, they are testing out the waters during primaries so they can do the full show in November.
00:01:18.520 And so, yes, in states across the South and across the country, we're seeing attempts to limit polling places. 0.77
00:01:24.780 North Carolina, where they're removing polling stations from black college campuses. 0.57
00:01:29.060 They are trying their best to test out the voter suppression mechanisms now. 0.93
00:01:33.220 But because we know what they're doing, the way I want us to approach it is if they're going to show us their hand, if they're going to show us how they plan to cheat, let's learn from it.
00:01:42.400 Let's use the primaries to test out our power as well.
00:01:45.240 And we're seeing that happen across the country where voters in Mississippi showed out in such force that they were able to break a supermajority that has held in Mississippi for decades.
00:01:56.380 That in North Carolina, where Cindy Batch is the Senate minority leader, she is going to break the superminority in North Carolina.
00:02:03.820 And we use primaries to not just test the waters as they are, but to remind ourselves of our strength.
00:02:09.920 And by using this interregnum, by using the time to register voters, to check voter registration, to recruit poll watchers, to do the mechanisms, we can get ready for November much in the way that they are.
00:02:23.420 And chief data analyst, Harry Enten, so what's going on here?
00:02:27.720 What is going on, Mr. Berman?
00:02:29.100 What's going on is simple, is the MAGA movement was built among the working class, non-college Americans.
00:02:35.500 And take a look at this trend line that we're looking at in the data.
00:02:38.200 Here we go.
00:02:38.800 Okay, net favorability rating, the MAGA movement, non-college adults.
00:02:42.340 Back in October of 2024, look at that, on the plus side of the ledger, positive, plus six points.
00:02:48.300 Down we go into the Atlantic Ocean.
00:02:50.840 Now, look at this movement, now minus 22 points.
00:02:54.640 That is a shift, Johnny B, of 28 points away from the MAGA movement, away with non-college Americans.
00:03:03.280 So the bottom line is, is the group at which the Trump movement was built upon,
00:03:08.120 They are shifting away and saying we don't like MAGA anymore.
00:03:11.240 Same question, same poll here.
00:03:12.600 This is really interesting to see these numbers move like that.
00:03:15.040 Yes, exactly right.
00:03:15.920 So same question, same poll.
00:03:17.820 All right.
00:03:18.180 So how about what the same group is saying about Donald Trump specifically?
00:03:22.680 Yeah, OK.
00:03:23.140 So you know what?
00:03:23.740 The idea being, OK, maybe they've soured on MAGA, but they haven't soured on MAGA, but
00:03:29.640 maybe they haven't soured on me, Donald Trump might be saying.
00:03:32.480 Ain't the truth.
00:03:33.100 Take a look here.
00:03:33.840 OK.
00:03:34.300 Non-college voters on Trump.
00:03:35.860 Hello.
00:03:36.400 OK.
00:03:36.660 in the 2024 election. He won them by 13 points, right? That was the reason he won. He won among
00:03:41.800 non-college voters, a very strong performance amongst them. And that, of course, was the reason
00:03:46.700 he was able to win, because college voters were against him. But look at this now. Minus 19 points.
00:03:51.960 Minus 19 points. We're talking about an even bigger shift here. We're talking about, what is this?
00:03:55.860 This is a 32-point shift away from the president of the United States when it comes to his key
00:04:02.180 core political group. This is why he's in so much trouble. It's not just that college voters are
00:04:07.340 against Trump now. It turns out that non-college voters, the ones that he built his presidential
00:04:11.400 bid on, have waved adios, goodbye, see you later, Mr. Trump. We don't like you anymore. So what
00:04:16.140 impact might this have on Republican House members? Okay, Johnny B is asking the key question here
00:04:21.620 because maybe they're abandoning President Trump, but you know what, the midterm elections, they may
00:04:25.800 not like Democrats either. Well, if you're a congressional Republican, you wish that to be
00:04:29.500 you, I have bad news for you, because it turns out that the non-college voters are turning
00:04:34.020 on you too, and it may in fact turn you out of power in the congressional elections coming
00:04:38.280 up in the midterms.
00:04:39.200 Choice for the House, non-college voters, 2024 election, look at this, Republicans plus
00:04:43.880 13 points, now Democrats, Democrats actually lead among non-college voters in an average
00:04:49.920 of polls.
00:04:50.540 It's just a point, but you know what, when it comes to a point, and given how well the
00:04:54.440 Democrats are doing among college voters, these are the types of numbers in which blue
00:04:58.100 waves are built, and therefore we can say that the key group that put Donald Trump in the White
00:05:02.140 House, the key group that he built the MAGA movement upon, is leaving him, and it's leaving
00:05:06.380 congressional Republicans, too. Harold, thank you very much for that.
00:05:12.760 Friday, 7 August, Year of the Lord, 2026. Of course, we've got a lot to go through today about
00:05:17.960 populist nationalism. Got to make sure the emphasis on populism. That's a keep working
00:05:24.460 class people that we've built this movement on from the very beginning enthusiastic and make
00:05:30.260 sure they're going to the polls and uh getting the vote out all of that uh we're going to continue
00:05:35.220 through the morning head of jobs report uh and i think you you know i think you'll understand
00:05:39.740 why um maybe there's a little lack of enthusiasm looks like wage gains which we're ahead of
00:05:46.600 inflation that may be slowing we'll get to all that i think we're gonna try to have somebody
00:05:50.820 on from treasury towards the second hour of the show. I got a very special guest. I want to talk
00:05:55.980 about the deep state and taking down the deep state. Laura Logan joins us. Let's go in and play
00:05:59.800 some, we got a little compilation of clips and we'll come to her. Journal editorial board wrote
00:06:05.360 this week, Mr. Paul has two set of policy differences in our view. And Dr. Fauci does
00:06:10.480 not belong in jail on evidence that we have seen. Do you still believe that Dr. Anthony Fauci should
00:06:16.020 go to prison? I'll give you an example of the level of dishonesty. In January of 2020, as the
00:06:23.680 epidemic was just coming to our shores, he received private information and he agreed with it that the
00:06:30.300 epidemic didn't start in the wet market. The wet market was a super spreader event, but the original
00:06:34.920 people who were sick from COVID were not associated with the wet market. But because the wet market is
00:06:40.940 an argument for a natural occurrence, he continued to argue that for year and year, but he wasn't
00:06:46.000 telling us that he privately disagreed with himself.
00:06:48.900 He also said in January 2020, he said that we are worried that this virus has been manipulated
00:06:55.280 because we know they do gain of function research.
00:06:58.160 So when he says, oh, we never funded gain of function research in private, he was very
00:07:02.420 worried that they were doing this research.
00:07:05.840 Now he would argue that our money didn't go to it, but I would argue that you really shouldn't
00:07:09.760 be funding a lab that you're worried that they are doing gain of function research.
00:07:13.300 So should he go to prison for that Senator?
00:07:15.600 Well, that's a good question. Did he lie to Congress? I think he did lie to Congress.
00:07:20.180 And I think, to be fair, that people who lie to Congress should be charged with a felony and,
00:07:26.060 if convicted, go to jail. There's also the question of destroying records. That's also
00:07:30.200 a felony crime. So I think both destroying records and lying to Congress are serious crimes.
00:07:36.520 But the reason is, and what I've always wanted, more than whether he goes to jail or not,
00:07:41.780 is the truth and an understanding from the public that this research is so dangerous
00:07:47.020 that it has to have intense scrutiny that I think in all likelihood we funded a lab
00:07:52.860 and this virus came from the lab and maybe 15 million people died.
00:07:57.840 This isn't the first time. This happened in 1977.
00:08:01.020 We have virtually absolute proof in 1977 that a virus leaked out
00:08:05.500 and infected the whole world and influenza virus.
00:08:08.220 Seeing no other motions, the question is on reporting of an original resolution
00:08:11.560 regarding contempt of Congress, the clerk will call the roll.
00:08:14.120 Senator Johnson. Yes.
00:08:15.820 Senator Lankford. Aye.
00:08:17.640 Senator Scott. Yes.
00:08:19.800 Senator Hawley. Aye.
00:08:21.340 Senator Moreno.
00:08:22.560 On behalf of the millions of people harmed by Anthony Fauci,
00:08:25.140 resoundingly yes.
00:08:26.540 Senator Ernst. Aye.
00:08:28.560 Senator Moody. Aye.
00:08:30.640 Senator Peters. No. 0.96
00:08:32.680 Senator Hassan. No.
00:08:34.520 Senator Blumenthal. No.
00:08:36.520 Senator Fetterman. No. 0.66
00:08:38.600 Senator Kim. No. 1.00
00:08:39.740 Democrats all know Republicans all, yay.
00:08:43.100 Fauci sent over for contempt.
00:08:44.800 A lot going.
00:08:45.200 By the way, Senate, Neil McCabe's up on Capitol Hill.
00:08:47.320 The Senate, here's their priorities.
00:08:49.760 They're voting right now on a Russian sanctions bill in memory of Lindsey Graham.
00:08:55.080 So embrace that.
00:08:56.300 Also, they're going to vote on a CR that still has the spending of Biden and Pelosi
00:09:02.200 and kick the can down the road to right before Christmas where they're going to have omnibus.
00:09:06.560 All coming, folks.
00:09:07.360 That's their priorities today.
00:09:08.380 you notice no save america on that laura logan uh falchi the deep state the revelations of john
00:09:15.460 solomon over the last couple of days do you think there's enough energy and uh urgency about taking
00:09:20.840 on the deep state and let's lead with falchi his contempt and even deeper his crimes against
00:09:25.520 humanity ma'am of which you were basically crucified for pointing out years ago
00:09:30.460 you know steve is it energy that you need or is it courage moral courage right and lack of
00:09:37.800 corruption, because one of the things that we're learning is that so many elected leaders are on
00:09:42.960 the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party. And so you see them acting in public in ways that they
00:09:48.200 that just don't make sense. Right. It's not what they were elected on. It's not what the president
00:09:52.820 is asking of them. It's not what the American voters are asking of them. And yet time and time
00:09:57.520 and time again, they fail us. What I like there was Senator Bernie Moreno in that clip that you
00:10:02.500 played there. He said, on behalf of millions, right? That's why he was voting aye. So, I mean,
00:10:09.180 I'm not a prophet and I'm not some Washington insider where I'm sitting in these circles,
00:10:13.760 right, as they're figuring out what they're going to do. What I know that we have seen
00:10:17.600 is just a striking disappointment when it comes to the Senate. You know, years ago,
00:10:24.280 a very senior senator sat in a car with me and explained off the record how Mitch McConnell
00:10:29.580 runs the Senate like a mob. Now we have Mitch McConnell, who's probably dead. I mean, we don't
00:10:34.220 know that, but it certainly doesn't look good. And, you know, people aren't buying that he's okay.
00:10:38.560 So we have this issue with Mitch McConnell, and then you have Fauci sit there. And it's not that
00:10:43.720 he expressed one thing in private and, you know, and it didn't reflect his feelings when he was in
00:10:49.880 public. He lied. He absolutely lied. Everything that the American people, and let's not forget,
00:10:56.360 millions and tens of millions of people around the world.
00:10:59.480 How were you, one of the reasons, one of the reasons, one of the reasons they came after
00:11:03.760 you so hard, how were you so certain at the time?
00:11:06.560 A lot of people now are getting on the anti Fauci bandwagon, but War Room and particularly
00:11:11.600 yourself, how were you so certain about his lies at the time and calling him out about
00:11:16.540 the lies of time as the reason they came and specifically tried to crucify you in the media,
00:11:20.960 ma'am?
00:11:21.680 I'm actually really glad you asked that because if you don't stand up at the time for the
00:11:25.900 truth, when it really, really counts, right, when it's going to cost you, then what's the point?
00:11:30.920 Then it's just like a bumper sticker, right? Then principles become bumper stickers. So this is what
00:11:35.460 I learned very early on. I was speaking to doctors, and I was speaking to people in the intelligence
00:11:40.460 community, and they all told me consistently things like this. The Chinese only have biolabs,
00:11:47.840 right? That's all they work on is bioweapons. They don't try to cure cancer to save their people. 1.00
00:11:53.400 They don't try to treat people for, you know, basic diseases.
00:11:57.380 No, their people die of basic diseases because they couldn't care less about their people.
00:12:02.560 So what does U.S. intelligence do? 0.96
00:12:04.560 We monitor every single lab that China builds from the time they start building it. 0.79
00:12:11.000 So there's nothing that happens in a lab overseas that our intelligence community doesn't already know. 0.95
00:12:16.680 So this idea that, oh, goodness, we were just taken surprised by Wuhan.
00:12:20.800 What were they doing there?
00:12:21.860 That was a lie from the very beginning. Secondly, COVID-19. Why does nobody ask about the 19?
00:12:28.780 19 means there were 18 iterations, versions of COVID before they got to 19. What does that
00:12:36.380 indicate? It indicates a human hand. That is manipulation. That is gain of function research.
00:12:43.040 You know, Steve, people have such short memories. Do you remember going back to Richard Nixon? I
00:12:46.680 know you're a big historian, right? So you'll remember that going back to November 1969,
00:12:51.740 Richard Nixon outlawed what? Our offensive bioweapons program. What he didn't outlaw was 0.59
00:12:58.800 our bioweapons defense program. So where was one of the main locations for this kind of research
00:13:04.820 that was going on? This history is available to anybody who wants to look for it, right?
00:13:09.500 Like Fort Detrick, Maryland is one of the main centers for our bioweapons research.
00:13:16.060 Now, what did we do? 0.60
00:13:17.740 It's not just Fort Detrick, Maryland.
00:13:19.400 It's also the Dugway Proving Grounds and other places like this.
00:13:23.680 But that's the main hub for what? 0.88
00:13:25.880 For the continuation of the Nazi programs from the Second World War.
00:13:31.220 We also, by the way, there's a special unit that the Japanese military had, Unit 731, 0.82
00:13:35.980 that was also doing bioweapons experiments. 0.55
00:13:37.940 We bought all that and we spared all those people who were running those experiments on thousands of Chinese prisoners and other prisoners.
00:13:45.460 But what did we do?
00:13:46.320 We gathered all this research so that we could continue to do these things that were purely evil.
00:13:52.260 And one thing I don't understand, you know Operation Paperclip.
00:13:55.480 How come no one's curious about Operation Paperclip? 0.72
00:13:58.020 Why don't we have people screaming for answers about how many Nazi scientists we brought who did the most unspeakable, unforgivable things in the Second World War? 0.84
00:14:08.980 And instead of holding them accountable at Nuremberg, we brought them to the United States of America and we took them to secure facilities. 0.79
00:14:16.820 We hid them behind classification, secret identities, jobs for life.
00:14:21.440 Families were taken care of.
00:14:23.340 You know, they had their families with them.
00:14:24.880 They had homes.
00:14:25.600 They were given all these benefits, and critically, they were given access to high levels of secrecy in the United States government.
00:14:33.380 It wasn't just the scientists that went to NASA.
00:14:35.580 It was the scientists that came and continued bioweapons programs.
00:14:39.240 So what you start to do when you look into it—
00:14:41.480 Laura, hang on one second.
00:14:43.040 I want to make sure we get plenty of time to stick the landing here.
00:14:45.320 It's very powerful.
00:14:47.320 Laura Logan is with us.
00:14:48.420 On a Friday, we're going to go from Texas.
00:14:52.420 We're going to go to Florida shortly.
00:14:55.600 Short break.
00:14:56.420 Laura Logan on the other side. 0.98
00:14:59.380 You don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector.
00:15:03.320 And you don't wait until the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane.
00:15:11.200 And you don't reach for your seatbelt after the impact because after the crash, the hurricane or the house fire, it's too late.
00:15:19.640 Similarly, you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy gold.
00:15:24.080 It's too late then.
00:15:25.180 diversify with precious metals and diversify now because you never know what will threaten your
00:15:31.740 savings next persistent inflation a weakening dollar unexpected financial disruptions you don't
00:15:38.080 know what's coming but you can take preventative steps and you can take them today do that right
00:15:43.400 now by requesting a free information kit on gold from my friends at birch gold group just text my

00:16:12.140 today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:16:17.160 Our Logan, as usual, is death spot on. In fact, if you remember when we shifted the show to
00:16:21.840 War and Pandemic on the 20th of January of 2020, excuse me, yeah, 20 January 2020,
00:16:27.440 we shifted to War and Pandemic for War and impeachment. Dr. Stephen Hatfeld was the
00:16:32.720 first consultant we had come on. He was with us for a week, then he went to the White House.
00:16:36.920 Where did we get him from? We called and said, who's the top guy on the bioweapons
00:16:41.520 defense team up at fort detrick hatfield knows a few things laura logan we're about to have a vote
00:16:47.080 given everything you're saying about paperclip all of this we're about to have a vote in the
00:16:50.980 united states senate i think even as we speak where the republicans may get tied it may it's
00:16:56.720 down to like one vote about um todd blanche being confirmed as attorney general what's your
00:17:02.460 recommendation to main justice what's your recommendation to the attorney general about
00:17:07.380 what needs to be done about the deep state. You're an expert in it. What does he have to do?
00:17:12.480 Well, Steve, I'm definitely an expert at being targeted by the deep state. And so are you,
00:17:16.840 right? We know what these bastards are capable of. So I would say to Todd Bunch, my number one 1.00
00:17:22.020 thing is accountability. Number two is accountability. And number three is
00:17:25.180 accountability. This is what millions of Americans voted for. They are tired. I mean, people want the
00:17:30.820 truth. There's no question about it. We need the whole truth. Nobody wants to be misled anymore.
00:17:35.240 But the truth without accountability is absolutely mean. Do you go? Do you go? Given what John, given what John Solomon's put up, do you start? Do you start with McCabe? You start with Comey? Do you start with Brennan? I mean, Tom Cotton, because do you go after prosecutions of these people now?
00:17:54.000 100 percent you know it's um it's disgusting to me that it was republicans who stood in the way
00:18:00.700 of the um the anti-weaponization fund because then you start to see people for who they really are
00:18:07.120 right and it's the same thing here the fact that the uh i think that the the president has to worry
00:18:12.680 so much about how republicans are going to react not republican voters but republican leaders are
00:18:19.320 going to keep standing in his way. That case down in Florida with John Brennan is absolutely
00:18:24.800 critical because Brennan is an operational commander of everything that is going on.
00:18:30.700 He's not just some bystander. He's not someone who dipped in for five minutes and then left.
00:18:35.100 He's an operational commander. And what, you know, the Justice Department knows how to do this,
00:18:39.680 Steve. What do they do all the time? They get one person and they put them under enough pressure
00:18:44.380 that they flip and start giving up all the others. These people don't have honor. They don't have
00:18:49.240 you know they have no real character they don't stand for anything that is good and powerful
00:18:55.160 so it doesn't take them long to start ratting each other out right and that's where you have
00:18:59.920 that's where you have to go and what i would say to todd blanche i mean that man did the
00:19:03.460 weaponization fund and who opposed him republican senators that's what cornyn was still holding
00:19:09.160 over his head when it came to the nomination that's outrageous that just tells you that this
00:19:14.300 this sort of elitist mentality where people think that they can that they don't have to worry about
00:19:19.340 consent of the government it means that they have forgotten what is written in the constitution and
00:19:23.520 the declaration of liberty and now what you have is Todd Blanche you know hanging by a thread
00:19:28.340 um is he going to get confirmed is he not going to get confirmed you know he could stay as acting
00:19:33.460 AG and keep doing what he's doing you you you gave so much of professional life covering you
00:19:39.100 were a war correspondent for years and at the tip of the spear whether it's the Arab Spring was
00:19:43.440 Afghanistan Iraq on the evening of November 3rd less than 90 days away ma'am we could have ma'am
00:19:49.660 Donnie running New York City you could have Abdul as the senator from uh from Michigan the basically
00:19:55.740 the arsenal of democracy the one World War II we could have Tallarico as the senator from the jewel
00:20:01.640 of the crown of the union in Texas your thoughts given you're so you know so much about 9-11 you
00:20:08.320 know so many of the victims and the families of 9-11 or on the 25th anniversary 25 years 0.62
00:20:13.260 after that attack uh on uh in lower manhattan we could have essentially marxist jihadist
00:20:21.040 in some of the most important positions of power in the country ma'am i would say to people the
00:20:27.880 most important thing to understand is that every time you look at mamdani or james tallarico what
00:20:34.220 you need to see is that on the on his left uh you know is a globalist and on his right is uh
00:20:41.400 someone that is a Marxist, right? These people do not fight alone. James Tallarico, I call him
00:20:47.720 baby Beto, aka little Satan, right? That's what he is. Okay, I'm just going to tell you there's not
00:20:52.840 a chance in hell that that half man, tiny little evil, horrible child is going to get elected in 1.00
00:21:01.720 the state of Texas with a fair vote. Unless you're going to cheat, he doesn't stand a chance in hell. 1.00
00:21:08.100 I don't care what the polls say. I don't care what people are telling you. This is a state that is firmly for gas and God and guns. And when you stand up and tell Texans, okay, that God is non-binary and all this other BS, no one is buying it. But they chose this little baby Beto because they thought, you know, what did they do last time? They actually got Beto O'Rourke officially within 3% of Ted Cruz. No, they didn't really.
00:21:34.440 You can go to Russ Ramsden and all these other people that you know, Steve, who work on election fraud behind the scenes, and they will show you how Ted Cruz actually won by 12%.
00:21:45.720 The threat in Texas is not James Tallarico.
00:21:49.000 It's the machinery behind him.
00:21:51.340 It's the lack of courage in the Senate that is controlled by Republicans and in Congress that's controlled by Republicans.
00:21:58.100 It's the lack of loyalty. 0.76
00:21:59.560 It's the rhinos.
00:22:00.660 It's the treason and the traitors and the betrayal. 0.86
00:22:03.240 This is why the president really has to exercise the power that he has to make sure that we don't walk into the midterms with the same circumstances that we've walked into all the other elections that have been stolen.
00:22:16.680 And as far as New York goes, the idea, the idea that 25 years after people watched, there were New Yorkers who threw themselves from those burning buildings.
00:22:28.020 I will never forget listening to the voice messages on answering machines and voicemail from the people that were on the planes that were saying goodbye to the people that they loved. 0.95
00:22:38.800 You know, as much as I understand the true nature and threat of the political forces using Islam as a cover to conquer Western civilization in America, 0.96
00:22:48.600 What I am more concerned about is that these Islamic forces are a proxy for the globalists, along with the Marxists and all that comes on the left and along with the traitors that live within the United States and within our government across all agencies and within our political parties and in our colleges and in our schools and so on. 0.95
00:23:09.960 The people that are teaching your children to hate America, the people that are teaching us that America is the only evil in the world, these are people that are breaking the law. 0.99
00:23:20.920 They are advocating for the overthrow of the government, and they have already demonstrated that they're willing to use violence to achieve that.
00:23:28.620 And this is domestic terrorism at its absolute finest.
00:23:31.980 I don't understand why the McCarthy hearings ended the way they did.
00:23:35.320 I don't understand why they dismantled this, you know, the Committee on Internal Threats and why they allowed this cancer to proliferate in our institutions because it is an existential threat to the United States.
00:23:49.060 But never forget that these Marxists are the tools of the globalists who are directing all of it.
00:23:55.620 Hang on.
00:23:57.340 They're voting on a sanctions bill on Russia.
00:24:00.560 They're voting on a CR to continue the debt and the games that Biden then played.
00:24:04.560 they're not going to take up they said we are not going to take up save america in axios today
00:24:09.340 there's unnamed sources in the senate saying this is the problem with trump he keeps pushing things
00:24:13.940 that we're not interested in like save america are you saying are you saying in so many words
00:24:18.760 uh that if they're not going to take up save america do you believe the president of the
00:24:23.680 united states needs to sign a national security emergency memorandum that actually looks at the
00:24:30.440 this coming election these upcoming elections that we got to get the voter rolls squared away
00:24:34.460 we have to have people at the polling places, all the things we need to do to have free and
00:24:38.600 fair elections. Are you calling for that if the Save America Act is not passed?
00:24:43.380 Steve, I don't have to call for it. I'm just a journalist with no power. The president is
00:24:48.120 calling for it. You can see it in that speech, that historic speech that he made to the nation
00:24:53.340 that most of the media chose to ignore, right? Or they attacked him for it. He is laying out
00:24:58.840 the foundation of exactly what you're talking about because he's telling you, look, who was
00:25:04.260 the last president that went after the cia publicly i'm going to shatter the cia into a
00:25:09.140 thousand pieces i know you know who said that so do many people in your audience it was jfk
00:25:13.380 okay then trump went out and he actually showed the evidence that the cia and the nsa and the fbi
00:25:21.860 and senior leadership in these agencies defrauded the american people and the president himself
00:25:28.600 This is of a scale that is so catastrophic.
00:25:31.740 If we had an honest media, and quite frankly, if in the conservative media we had people that understood the significance of this and did their due diligence and talked to the people who really understand, we would talk about nothing else.
00:25:44.920 It wouldn't be about missile stockpiles for Iran.
00:25:47.180 We would be talking 24-7 about the treason and sedition that has threatened this country like nothing that has ever threatened it since 1776. 0.71
00:25:58.600 Okay, this is one of the biggest things that has ever taken place in the world. And it is not done. So when I hear the president talk about these things, he is setting a clear deadline of the midterm elections. He's letting everybody know we have all of these issues.
00:26:15.820 we have journalists taking money from communist China, going over there, doing these junkets,
00:26:21.460 being paid, and then coming back and essentially acting as spokespeople for the Chinese Communist
00:26:28.100 Party. We have not seen this. And then we've got military leaders that are creating back channels
00:26:34.380 with the Chinese for the same thing. What does it take to get people to understand that we are
00:26:41.080 literally standing at the gates of Auschwitz. We have walked the nine miles and it is littered with
00:26:46.460 bodies. Okay. We know what happens. The only thing in front of us, if we pass through those gates
00:26:52.380 are the gas chambers, certain death. That's what we're looking at in this country. And we are at
00:26:58.800 war. You know what I would say to the attorney general of the United States? If you hire
00:27:02.420 bureaucrats, fire them because you need battlefront commanders. You are on the front lines of this
00:27:09.700 war. If you're going to the White House every day and you're sort of, oh, exhausted because,
00:27:13.880 you know, we're working such a long day this week and all the rest of it, you're not looking at it
00:27:17.560 the same. When I was at war in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and by the way, in Angola, in Mozambique,
00:27:23.300 in many countries all over the world, when you go to war, nobody talks about getting some sleep.
00:27:29.580 Okay, what did Winston Churchill do? He napped for 10 minutes here and there. He power napped
00:27:33.900 because they were fighting every second of their lives, every moment they knew they were fighting
00:27:39.580 for their survival. That's the mentality
00:27:41.620 that we need across the Trump
00:27:43.460 administration. There are some who are
00:27:45.460 leading like that, but there aren't enough.
00:27:48.980 Laura, hang on
00:27:49.820 for one second. We'll take a short commercial break. 0.75
00:27:51.480 Also, Natalie G. Winters, when Laura talks about
00:27:53.580 the expose of the journalists
00:27:55.860 in the general's flag office.
00:27:57.580 Natalie's going to join us in the 11 o'clock
00:27:59.800 hour. Short commercial break. The
00:28:01.460 lieutenant governor of Florida
00:28:02.780 is going to join us. Laura Logan's going to hang around. 1.00
00:28:05.920 Short break. Back in a moment.
00:28:09.580 It feels like our country finally has momentum again, with our leaders fighting to restore common sense in America first.
00:28:19.400 But we've seen this before.
00:28:20.680 Conservatives get comfortable, and the left starts taking background inch by inch.
00:28:25.600 We cannot let that happen in these midterms.
00:28:29.020 America needs every one of us in the fight, and a big part of that means supporting companies that actually stand for our values.
00:28:35.880 That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile.

00:29:34.720 room here's your host steven k man laura as usual you're on fire we're clipping that right now i
00:29:42.040 want to make sure we push it out uh i'm telling the audience we're gonna have laura back next
00:29:45.800 week to focus on texas just a special with laura to focus on the great state of texas uh which is
00:29:50.860 her adopted state and she's one of the fiercest warriors down there laura where do people go for
00:29:55.960 your podcast all your social media your comments on news of the day particularly look like we're
00:30:01.760 going to have this Hormuz deal today. I know you're going to have a lot of commentary on that.
00:30:05.720 Where do people go? Steve, people can find me on X. I'm at Laura Logan on X. And of course,
00:30:11.520 our show is going rogue with Laura Logan. You can find that on Rumble and on YouTube and
00:30:16.560 everywhere else. And I'll tell you this one thing about Iran. What I see is the president laying 0.99
00:30:22.020 down suppressive fire on the Iranians because the number one thing they don't want is Iran to get a
00:30:27.100 nuclear weapon. I'm not saying it's going to work. I'm not saying it's the right thing. It's just
00:30:31.280 that I wonder why people don't ever look at this as a battlefield. They don't want the Iranians 1.00
00:30:35.280 being able to maneuver in any direction because they are the people who are insane enough to drop 0.99
00:30:41.140 a nuclear weapon on behalf of the globalists. That's one of their proxies. Okay, you get my 0.88
00:30:46.560 vote. I'm voting to put you on the National Security Council, ma'am. I think we need some
00:30:50.780 fire there. Logan, give me your podcast and your social media. Where do people go? Because a lot's
00:30:56.220 happening in the next couple of days and people want to hear it from you. So where do they go?
00:30:59.660 going rogue with lara logan we've had a couple of um primary specials that we've done with
00:31:05.080 different candidates like royce white you see down there we got another one coming up with
00:31:08.320 jonathan de barros is running for congress in connecticut and then uh steve hilton is coming
00:31:13.900 out today that is a that is a great interview by the way we um we really focus on the role
00:31:20.160 of becerra in trafficking hundreds and thousands of children across the southern border that's a
00:31:25.740 big one steve hilton is doing really well but you know with all the fraud in california let's see
00:31:31.060 what happens we'll get to that and i want to thank you jonathan is actually going to be on our five
00:31:34.820 o'clock show today from connecticut great great opportunity thank you ma'am look forward to seeing
00:31:38.640 you next week thank you so much that is pure fire lieutenant governor jay collins from the
00:31:45.940 grace the free state of florida lieutenant governor first before i ask you about the race i got to ask
00:31:51.360 you about your service you you were a patriot green beret at the frontline special warfare
00:31:57.100 your sacrifice for the nation when you look at a situation we're 25 years in what less than 30 days
00:32:03.900 from 9-11 and you've got abdul up in michigan that uh in the great industrial heartland of
00:32:10.820 detroit that basically you know was the arsenal of democracy in world war ii you got tallarica
00:32:15.960 in texas you got mandami uh you know running new york city what's your sense of the country from
00:32:22.480 9-11 to today given particularly your view of being a patriot that went and fought and dedicate
00:32:29.280 your life uh to this cause sir well steve that's a great question and i'll tell you what first off
00:32:35.620 i would do it all again in a heartbeat uh i had the opportunity to serve i gave up a leg i got
00:32:40.880 shot for this nation i would do it all again in a heartbeat because we live in the greatest state
00:32:44.560 in the greatest nation in the history of this planet.
00:32:47.220 And to see how far we've drifted
00:32:49.000 from the lessons of September 12th,
00:32:50.800 when we were the American people and we came together.
00:32:53.700 The reason the left, the reason other nations
00:32:56.040 try to divide us by race, by creed, by color, by gender
00:32:58.640 is because when America comes together
00:33:00.600 and the might of America moves forward under our banner,
00:33:03.360 as we should with our values, nobody can stop America.
00:33:06.500 That's what I know.
00:33:07.240 That's what I've seen.
00:33:08.280 And I'm honored to have been a part
00:33:09.480 of the tip of the spear.
00:33:10.540 We do it again.
00:33:11.200 And we got to come back to those first principles,
00:33:13.320 those values all the same things larges said were completely true we got to fight we're in a war
00:33:18.840 and that's why we got to bring warriors into politics the um florida has a different problem
00:33:26.420 than a lot of states the free state of florida it's a lot of the work that governor santa's
00:33:29.840 yourself have done to make it so attractive people i know floridians love florida for what
00:33:36.320 it has been and and historically what it is this kind of great state of working class and middle
00:33:40.780 class people given the success you've got so many people coming in from the rest of the nation
00:33:45.480 how are you going to bounce what is your plan as governor to make sure to floridians that you don't
00:33:51.760 i mean texas got the same problem that these great states that are now attracting people
00:33:56.240 particularly from the northeast how do you make sure that you it stays as the florida that
00:34:01.560 floridians love and doesn't become radically something else sir yeah see great question look
00:34:07.300 First off, leadership isn't talking about things.
00:34:09.720 Leadership is being on the ground, doing things, leading from the front, being present.
00:34:13.960 In the first 100 days, we're going to hit 100 cities or towns.
00:34:16.400 We're going to talk to everybody in their communities for who they are, how they are,
00:34:20.420 where they are.
00:34:21.180 We're going to continue to make sure that growth, if it comes, when it happens, it's
00:34:26.080 on Florida's terms.
00:34:27.260 We will never sacrifice our green zones, our waterways.
00:34:30.480 We'll never give up on agriculture.
00:34:32.800 Now, I'm the son of a failed farmer.
00:34:34.020 If we can't feed ourselves, we're never truly free.
00:34:36.060 food security is national security and in florida we take that incredibly seriously
00:34:40.640 but that's leadership it's being on the ground remembering god gave us two years one mouth for
00:34:44.880 a purpose step in step up and don't don't fail to lead lead follow or get out of the way and
00:34:52.000 we're going to lead in florida lieutenant governor give us your vision what are the two or three
00:34:56.560 things i mean you've got a tough act to follow you've been this lieutenant governor and people
00:35:00.500 know i was very much anti-desantis when he decided to run against president trump but i've said from
00:35:05.600 day one he's been a damn good governor and if you see some of the stands he's taken recently
00:35:09.560 he's really been a leader as far as governors what's your vision what are the two or three
00:35:13.700 things that governor collins feels he has to accomplish to be successful well first off if
00:35:20.060 you're going to come in the shoes of the greatest governor in our state's history uh you got to be
00:35:23.720 willing to be bold innovative and solve problems as they come up governor de santis wasn't uh
00:35:28.660 america's governor until covid happened and he stepped into that breach protect our people and
00:35:32.780 our way of life. First off, I'm day one ready. That was said by DeSantis himself. My moral compass
00:35:38.160 was true in combat all around the globe. I know where right is, where wrong is. I know how to get
00:35:42.720 things done, and that cannot be understated. Second, our world is devolving. We are a high
00:35:48.780 value target here in Florida. I'm the only Green Beret to ever be a lieutenant governor if elected.
00:35:53.340 I'll be the only Green Beret to be a governor. Why does that matter? Simply put, because safety
00:35:58.980 starts everything when our people feel safe it's strong families strong communities strong
00:36:04.120 communities build a great economy one business at a time we are going to personify what marco
00:36:10.600 rubio put so aptly just a few weeks ago in florida and in america we are a nation and a state where
00:36:16.320 anybody from anywhere can accomplish anything because our founding fathers gave us a republic
00:36:20.900 if we can keep it um talk about since you fought in the wars in the middle east are you concerned
00:36:28.380 Texas has got this huge problem. We went down, took the show down there for three months about
00:36:32.120 putting this proposition to prohibit Sharia law. Are you concerned that Florida, just like Texas, 0.86
00:36:37.480 has been targeted by people that want to impose Sharia law here in the United States of America?
00:36:42.720 Yeah, you always have to be concerned by that. Look, we cannot allow ourselves to devolve into
00:36:46.920 what we've fought against. We are the land of the free because of the brave. And Sharia law
00:36:51.440 has no place in the free state of Florida, no place in the United States of America. It is not 1.00
00:36:56.220 commensurate with our constitution. We've got to remind ourselves our freedoms come from God.
00:37:00.820 They're upheld by our constitution. And when brave men and women step in the breach to do what's
00:37:05.040 right, what's necessary, great things happen. That's how we became the free state of Florida.
00:37:10.080 And we're going to continue to fight. Sharia law will never take hold in Florida. I promise you. 0.88
00:37:16.100 Lieutenant Governor, Governor DeSantis has been at the tip of the tip of the spear of the situation
00:37:22.000 with AI, not just the data centers, I'll get back to that in a second, but really saying,
00:37:26.140 hey, if they're not going to be some sort of national, at least beginning of a regulatory
00:37:29.920 framework, I'm going to step up as a governor because it's just not going to happen in Florida.
00:37:33.760 It's really been leadership, I think, has inspired the country to say, hey, we need some sort of
00:37:37.680 national standards. Over the last 48 hours, we know that, according to Axios, that AI may be
00:37:45.020 hurtling towards the singularity. We have a containment problem with some of these models.
00:37:49.140 Now we've got 16 new viruses, not known to man, not in nature, being created at Stanford University.
00:37:56.600 What is your position on artificial intelligence, particularly since the tech bros are writing massive checks?
00:38:03.500 What is a Governor Collins going to do about artificial intelligence in the free state of Florida, sir?
00:38:09.380 Well, I would tell people to check where the donations go because tech bros haven't given me a dime.
00:38:14.000 I stand with the people of Florida, as I always do.
00:38:16.800 Look, we got to take it exactly for what it is on the ground.
00:38:20.300 It is not time for people who walk, who talk and talk and talk and put together news clips.
00:38:25.160 It's time for people who actually step in, step up and walk the walk to protect our people.
00:38:29.980 Look, you have to have regulatory framework that protects the water, our reliability,
00:38:34.580 our rate payers.
00:38:35.480 But you also have to understand that the people who want to get around those laws
00:38:38.860 work relentlessly.
00:38:40.240 And that means we have to be twice as relentless.
00:38:43.080 We have to move at the speed of people's lives.
00:38:45.220 We have to understand this is modern warfare.
00:38:48.160 This is proxy war.
00:38:49.260 It is exactly the same things we have always faced.
00:38:52.360 We have to stand on our values
00:38:53.700 and we have to protect our people.
00:38:55.200 When it comes to AI, look,
00:38:57.200 we have to remember that AI is a tool.
00:38:59.640 It's like a hammer, a screwdriver, or a saw.
00:39:01.940 A hammer can be very useful,
00:39:03.380 but if used wrongly, it can kill people too.
00:39:05.360 We got to make sure that we understand the data is pure.
00:39:07.800 Otherwise, we're going to change how people think.
00:39:09.740 We got to make sure that when we do this,
00:39:12.240 AI is just something to work as an adjunct.
00:39:14.660 never to replace people.
00:39:17.000 We want to have an economy
00:39:18.180 that uses technology on our terms
00:39:20.920 and moves forward accordingly.
00:39:23.040 People want to be successful.
00:39:24.860 People want to save what makes Florida
00:39:27.180 and turn it into what it is,
00:39:29.120 the free state of Florida.
00:39:30.300 And they want a leader
00:39:31.200 who's willing to step in,
00:39:33.080 call out the BS
00:39:33.800 and just say it like it is.
00:39:35.420 And that's exactly who I am.
00:39:36.660 I say what I mean.
00:39:37.780 I mean what I say,
00:39:38.620 but I actually get results
00:39:39.940 and get things done.
00:39:42.180 Lieutenant Governor,
00:39:43.000 We've had a number of Florida communities on here about this rezoning and these planning commissions and trying to stand up to them.
00:39:50.140 You know, both Republicans, MAGA, Democrats, independents about these data centers, particularly taking, you know, some of this amazing agricultural land in Florida.
00:39:59.240 What is your stance on the data center, sir?
00:40:03.000 Look, data centers, we got to make sure we use the right nomenclature, too.
00:40:06.100 It's those hyperscale data centers.
00:40:07.640 one singular hyperscale data center can take the same amount of power and water as a city of 50
00:40:12.600 to 100,000 people. You have to be incredibly concerned by that. We will never allow that
00:40:18.980 power, that water, or that safety in the community to be negated. Nobody wants to listen to the hum
00:40:24.920 within their communities. But the last thing is this, you cannot build a good relationship with
00:40:29.880 a city or town or a county when things are wrapped up in an NDA. And I think the people,
00:40:33.900 when they make this decision should absolutely have radical clarity in terms of who the end
00:40:38.620 customer is. And let me promise you this, if you lie, you cheat, you steal, you try to dupe the
00:40:43.540 people of Florida, we are going to have your back end. You're going to deal with us if we protect
00:40:47.620 our people and our way of life every single day in the free state of Florida. Some of the people
00:40:53.120 in Florida are very concerned about utility rates, how the kind of the power commission got off track
00:40:58.020 on this solar. What is Governor Collins going to do about that? Well, we do the same thing I've
00:41:03.460 always done. I passed 55 bills in three short years in the Senate to include decoupling from
00:41:09.440 those Obama-era nonsensical green energy blah, blah, blahs, right? It's time for us to step up
00:41:16.160 and fight for things that work. I'm a big believer in small modular, micro-reactors,
00:41:21.060 hydrogen minus the carbon capture nonsense. We're going to call it for what it is. We have to have
00:41:26.140 energy on demand. We want to drop the rates, but it has to be affordable, reliable, and safe for
00:41:32.780 the people of florida i'm going to continue that fight just as i always have i've led from the
00:41:37.200 front uh and in our administration the governor de santis and jay collins administration of florida
00:41:42.520 we have made a difference in energy and we're going to continue to fight that same thing
00:41:46.680 to make sure that you live your american dream right here in the free state of florida
00:41:50.520 lieutenant governor where do people go if they want to hit you with a donation or more importantly

00:42:27.740 what I do, and that's why I'm going to be the next
00:42:29.660 governor of the great state of Florida.
00:42:31.960 Thanks, Steve.
00:42:33.880 Lieutenant Governor Collins, you're a good man.

00:45:16.740 Louisiana.
00:45:17.560 Mr. President, I rise today to speak to the nomination of Todd Blanche to be attorney general.
00:45:22.060 Over the last several days, I've heard from lots of people sharing their views on this nomination.
00:45:28.300 And most of the time, it's clear.
00:45:30.440 Mr. Blanche has become a referendum on how people feel about President Trump.
00:45:35.280 If you don't like the president, you don't like Mr. Blanche.
00:45:38.280 If you do like the president, you do.
00:45:39.940 I have not approached it that way.
00:45:42.580 This process should be about Mr. Blanche and how he will go forward in a difficult job
00:45:46.220 and how the American people can be best served.
00:45:49.520 I have a history with Mr. Trump, but that history does not matter one bit.
00:45:55.200 On the one hand, Mr. Blanche does not need to be Senate confirmed.
00:45:58.920 He can continue to serve at the pleasure of the President as Deputy Attorney General
00:46:02.420 or even Acting Attorney General if this vote is pulled.
00:46:05.840 On the other hand, I am told that Senate confirmation is important
00:46:09.760 and interactions with the President, with others in the Cabinet,
00:46:13.720 and is important to DOJ employees in general.
00:46:17.000 Being Senate-confirmed gives him greater leverage to push for things that should be pushed for.
00:46:21.820 This does not demean the Senate's role.
00:46:24.700 Important issues have been discussed through this process, and Mr. Blanche has made commitments.
00:46:29.520 Now on to the specific nomination.
00:46:32.320 Since Mr. Blanche passed out of Judiciary Committee on August the 4th,
00:46:35.580 I've spoken to Mr. Blanche five or six times.
00:46:37.920 We have texted many more.
00:46:39.000 I just got off the phone with him. I've spoken multiple times with Senators Murkowski,
00:46:43.660 Cornyn, Tillis. Senator Whitehouse shared his concerns. Additionally, I spoke with current and
00:46:49.100 past administration officials, including a long conversation with former Attorney General Bill
00:46:53.460 Barr. Late last night, I spoke to two U.S. attorneys from Louisiana, David Corsell and
00:47:00.000 Kurt Wall. Of course, there's been a lot to read and a lot to consider, and I slept on it overnight.
00:47:05.720 Let's start with the concerns.
00:47:07.880 Mr. Blanche showed poor judgment in approving the anti-weaponization slush fund
00:47:11.380 and exempting the president from IRS audits.
00:47:14.560 No American should be unfairly targeted by the law, but no American should be above the law.
00:47:20.020 Mr. Blanche said these were mistakes, and he has made efforts to kill the slush fund.
00:47:24.180 I am particularly concerned about episodes of apparent lawfare.
00:47:27.760 DOJ bringing suits against political enemies.
00:47:30.520 Both parties, presidents of both parties, have been guilty of this.
00:47:35.860 It must stop. It should stop now.
00:47:38.740 A never-ending cycle of prosecuting political enemies
00:47:42.100 undermines the rule of law, degrades the public's trust in our institutions,
00:47:46.440 and makes our politics more extreme when we need to unite to solve the big problems of our time.
00:47:51.900 I'm not entirely satisfied where this is,
00:47:55.700 and I have no doubts that I'll have concern in the future.
00:47:59.060 I will note that I've learned that some of the cases that have been publicly reported to be under investigation by the Department of Justice have been dismissed or no longer being pursued.
00:48:07.480 I am realistic that President Trump can be unrelenting on this, but this will be true no matter who the Attorney General is,
00:48:15.000 and this is the rationale for having a Senate-confirmed Attorney General with more leverage to push back.
00:48:21.020 I will also note that Mr. Blanche is criticized for things over which he has no control.
00:48:25.480 He points out that he has been criticized for presidential pardons given to January 6 rioters,
00:48:30.960 some of whom assaulted police officers.
00:48:33.400 Many of us were here then.
00:48:34.980 But this is a presidential prerogative, and he is not the president.
00:48:39.020 He also points out that he can advise the president, but the president is not obligated to take his advice.
00:48:44.100 That is the same thing that former Attorney General Barr said in a separate conversation.
00:48:48.080 And, Mr. President, I can absolutely believe that President Trump at times would not take advice.
00:48:54.840 But even critics admit that Mr. Blanche knows the law and is a hands-on administrator.
00:49:00.900 He has instructed U.S. attorneys to focus on violent crime, human and drug trafficking,
00:49:05.800 and fraud in programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
00:49:08.780 Mr. Corsell, the U.S. Attorney in New Orleans, says that when he needed extra resources,
00:49:13.160 Acting Attorney General Blanche provided them to finish a big drug case.
00:49:17.600 Both Mr. Corsell and Mr. Wall said that DOJ has accountability measures for each prosecutor
00:49:22.340 in their office, and that there are weekly calls between their offices and DOJ to review
00:49:27.780 the performance of each prosecutor, that morale was high not despite the accountability measures
00:49:33.380 but because of the accountability measures.
00:49:35.740 More cases were being processed and convictions being obtained.
00:49:39.220 David Grossell spoke of almost $1 billion in fraud being recovered for the U.S. taxpayer
00:49:45.460 from health care fraud.
00:49:47.820 Both men said that having a permanent, Senate-confirmed attorney general was important.
00:49:52.280 I cannot overstate Mr. Walz and Mr. Purcell's support for Mr. Blanche.
00:49:56.980 When former Attorney General Bill Barr endorsed Mr. Blanche,
00:50:00.180 he said Mr. Blanche will run the department as effectively as anyone can under President Trump.
00:50:04.820 Some have called that faint praise.
00:50:07.180 I don't think that it is. I think it is a reality.
00:50:10.820 Barr specifically addressed the allegation that Mr. Blanche would be a yes-man for the President.
00:50:14.820 He said that any attorney to represent a client well has to have tough conversations
00:50:19.620 and confront a client with difficult truths.
00:50:22.280 that because of his previous attorney-client relationship with President Trump,
00:50:26.200 Mr. Blanche would be precisely the person to push back on President Trump,
00:50:29.740 but that ultimately, and here Barr echoed what I heard from Blanche,
00:50:36.220 decisions are made by the President.
00:50:39.000 Mr. Blanche is not perfect, and he will tell you this,
00:50:41.520 but the choice is not between perfection and Mr. Blanche.
00:50:44.240 It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general
00:50:47.420 who may not run the department effectively under President Trump
00:50:50.920 and who, indeed, may not be as good as Mr. Blanche.
00:50:58.620 This puts at risk the progress made fighting violent crime, human and drug trafficking, and fraud.
00:51:04.720 And this does not serve the American people well.
00:51:07.740 This is not a referendum on President Trump.
00:51:10.440 It is a decision regarding Mr. Blanche in very specific circumstances.
00:51:15.200 All considered, I will vote for Mr. Blanche.
00:51:18.480 I'll be criticized for this vote. What's new?
00:51:20.920 but
00:51:25.320 people of louisiana
00:51:31.700 so todd blanch is going to be now confirmed to understand the issue i got it thank you guys
00:51:39.260 thank you guys uh cassie stumbles through that makes his argument why he's voting
00:51:45.500 for Todd Blanche.
00:51:47.760 I don't know if we need him to go into level of detail.
00:51:53.000 Todd Blanche has a workout for him.
00:51:54.640 Now, Todd, you're going to get voted.
00:51:58.080 You're going to get confirmed.
00:52:00.060 Now you've got to go to work.
00:52:02.360 You need to take down the deep state.
00:52:05.460 Where's Tom Cotton?
00:52:06.520 Where's the Brennan transcript from the Senate hearings?
00:52:10.620 Let's go.
00:52:11.080 Let's roll.
00:52:11.640 We're burning daylight.
00:52:12.660 You heard that poll this morning that Harry Enten, Harry Enten has a pretty good polling in 24, remember that?
00:52:19.720 About people turning on the Biden regime, looking forward to President Trump.
00:52:24.580 Pretty shocking about non-college educated. 0.64
00:52:27.960 That means working class, blue collar folks in this country. 1.00
00:52:32.760 Not happy. 1.00
00:52:33.800 You got to turn around.
00:52:34.600 Birch Gold, take your phone at text.
