00:00:51.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom.
00:01:11.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts iTrust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTod.com.
00:01:21.000Okay, we have Ana Paulina who does a wonderful job in the House of Representatives.
00:01:27.000I have been told by several sources in Washington, D.C., this Weiss issue has really changed the dynamic, even amongst normie Republican circles.
00:01:37.000This Weiss fiasco is viewed on the left as a major liability and problem.
00:01:43.000That I am told, this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, You have to indict on Monday.
00:01:55.000We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss.
00:02:00.000And she said, Apparently, my jurors aren't coming back till Tuesday.
00:02:22.000And I'm telling you out front, this is hearsay, but it's from a person who has remarkably good success.
00:02:27.000I totally believe it, though, because that would explain why they leaked and they messed up on the clerk document, why she was exhausted, and why they had the 11 p.m. press conference, Mr. Speaker.
00:02:39.000It's a little bit hard to track all of This and by the way, you're about to have a baby, so thank you for congratulations, best thing in the world.
00:02:46.000Uh, so for making time for us here, so and you're really making waves on oversight.
00:02:53.000So, give us the latest what's going on with Weiss.
00:02:57.000We know Weiss is corrupt, he basically has been working to give Hunter Biden's sweet sweetheart plea deals.
00:03:02.000And in addition to that, many of my colleagues, to include other members, okay, this is these are private conversations that might not necessarily fully back Trump for 2024, have agreed that what is happening out of the DOJ and the DOG.
00:03:19.000So there's going to be a massive appropriations fight.
00:03:21.000And frankly, if people think that we are going to go, you know, to push a CR and move forward with accepting this budget that's going to be funding this stuff, they have something else coming.
00:03:32.000So that's why you saw that statement come out from the Freedom Caucus earlier today.
00:03:35.000And you are going to see, I think, on the back end, a fight, especially to defund everything that he's doing.
00:03:41.000So is there going to be a willingness on your, say, more moderate Republican colleagues to go along with that, you think?
00:03:47.000I think at this point, you know, a lot of what I hear on the back end is they're worried about taking those hard votes.
00:03:53.000But with what we're seeing with the American people, right?
00:03:57.000You're just your average Republican voter.
00:04:01.000And even independents and Democrats, they don't have faith in the justice system.
00:04:05.000So I don't think that it's going to be hard for them to decide, especially being that, look, we have at least 20 members in the Freedom Caucus that will not be going along with this.
00:04:15.000And ultimately, at the end of the day, you know, people say, oh, well, you know, government shut down this, that, and the other.
00:04:20.000Look, we have a lot, a lot of problems right now in Washington, and we can't just continue down this path of doing the same thing over and over again.
00:04:27.000So I hope that they make the right decision.
00:04:29.000But if they think that we're just going to be, Rolling over, and they're going to get a CR.
00:05:14.000And I think that that appetite and that willingness is there.
00:05:16.000And let me tell you, Charlie, I mean, you saw how effective 20 people can be when you really lock arms together and you have the support of the American people, and we're going to do it.
00:05:25.000There's no way that we'll continue down this path forward.
00:05:28.000And again, going back to exactly what you said, a lot of people, when the government shut down, they're not even going to know the difference.
00:05:33.000You're still going to get your social security payments.
00:06:20.000From the oversight, though, are we going to see hearings where we can actually hear in the own words what the Department of Justice is doing here?
00:06:28.000I have a personal theory that Merrick Garland is far more craven than I think people realize.
00:06:35.000I think that Merrick Garland is the actual directed energy weapon.
00:06:41.000I think we should be most worried about Merrick Garland.
00:06:44.000Is there any chance of impeaching him or Joe Biden?
00:06:47.000I would actually prefer an impeachment of Merrick Garland.
00:06:51.000You know, based on what I'm seeing and just being 100% transparent, I think that even when we do call up the impeachment inquiry for Biden, it's not going to pass in the Senate.
00:07:02.000However, I don't think that we'll be able to see all of the facts and conduct a serious investigation until we start that impeachment inquiry.
00:07:11.000This fall, one of the members that has filed that privilege motion will call it up.
00:07:15.000But in regards to Merrick Garland, I mean, I could not agree with you more.
00:07:19.000I just, I am at the point now where I think we're all looking to see okay, who's going to be the first one to essentially pull that, right?
00:07:29.000I don't want to say pull the trigger because I'm not advocating for violence, but figure of speech.
00:07:33.000We are at a point where I have seen the evidence, I have talked to many of obviously people coming in to testify.
00:07:41.000And when you are seeing the president of the United States, basically within 24 hours of anything damning coming out about him, about Joe Biden, you see another indictment against Trump.
00:07:52.000And then we find out that Biden is using essentially fake names to talk to Hunter Biden's business associates.
00:07:59.000I mean, there's no way that this is not a compromised position and that there's not public corruption here.
00:08:04.000But again, I am so sick and tired, Charlie, of hearing even some of our GOP senators saying that they don't want to get involved in a tit for tat retribution politics.
00:08:16.000And that's what they're looking at this appeasement ad.
00:10:02.000Also, make sure you include that I am a fan of what the 14th Amendment accomplished.
00:10:06.000But when you have the 14th Amendment that is used for everything from reparations to debt relief to preventing Trump from being the president, yeah, that's probably too broadly of an amendment.
00:10:17.000We must understand that there is going to be desperate measures, desperate measures to try and control people, manipulate the election.
00:10:34.000COVID is making a comeback this summer, so many of us would like to leave it in the past, but cases are once again on the rise.
00:10:41.000So, when will new booster shots roll out?
00:10:44.000What's behind this uptick in COVID that we're seeing?
00:10:47.000The main driver of this is a variant that's relatively newer to the scene, EG5.
00:10:52.000It's easier to give and get, so that makes it kind of easier to pass along.
00:10:57.000The new COVID booster is expected to be approved by the FDA, and then we will make recommendations from the CDC probably by the second or third week of September.
00:11:05.000Will it protect Against this new strain?
00:11:07.000Yes, the booster is tailored to what we are seeing circulating now.
00:11:12.000We likely will see this as an annual COVID shot, just like the flu shot.
00:16:22.000And I mean, you know, I'm not a lawyer, but as a pollster, I look at this and it's just very clear why they're trying to do what they're doing to him.
00:16:33.000You know, I mean, Charlie, when we look back at 2020, and I know a lot of people, especially Trump supporters, you know, think that he won 2020.
00:16:59.000And in September of 2021, that turned to a Trump plus two.
00:17:04.000Now, in this poll, it's going to be roughly Trump plus eight.
00:17:07.000Massive shifts, new generation Xers and millennials that are men working that are coming into the fold, non whites that are coming into the fold.
00:18:28.000I mean, favorability is one thing we always really, it looks, there are people who always never liked Donald Trump, but would vote for him and flirt with voting for him.
00:18:38.000And to us, you know, that group is what matters.
00:18:41.000They're going to dislike both him and Biden, but they trust him to do a good job, or they see what's going on and they think it's just wrong, Charlie, just wrong.
00:18:51.000We don't do this to people in this country.
00:18:53.000We don't beat people in the Jura box, we beat them in the ballot box.
00:18:57.000So he has the strength with this group right now, even more so than he had with Hillary Clinton.
00:19:03.000I mean, when we had him leading against Hillary Clinton, it was a half a point, a point nationally, a few points maybe.
00:19:11.000You know, he routinely posts four or five point leads.
00:19:14.000You know, so he's leading anywhere between two and eight in our polling over the last 12 months.
00:19:26.000I mean, he's usually as trials progress.
00:19:30.000The prosecution looks worse and worse, especially with Big Fannie Willis, you know, who has just thrown everything at it.
00:19:36.000So Donald Trump can only look better because there is kind of this built in expectation that he's probably going to get convicted in some of these DC, whether it's totally unfair, but DC circuit.
00:19:47.000What I'm getting at is that if we move towards the election, he has almost nowhere to go but up, and he's already at a pretty good starting point.
00:19:55.000I mean, Rich, the conventional wisdom would have been again, I don't put too much stock in polls, honestly, because I think elections are more about the technical stuff.
00:20:03.000But if it's a 10 point gap, that tells you something.
00:20:05.000But if I think the conventional wisdom in the regime was that the indictments would so tar and feather him with independents and people in the middle that this race would be over before it starts.
00:20:16.000Yeah, actually, right now, I just looked at it before.
00:22:05.000And that's a big part of this, especially if the economy, imagine the economy taking a dive and then we're watching the production of the persecution of Donald Trump.
00:22:14.000I think a lot of Democrats are underestimating this man's ability to win.
00:24:19.000They got a little bit of it, but they didn't get the whole surge.
00:24:23.000The only question for us after the waiting is done is whether Vivek will hold on a second place or will the waiting a little bit help DeSantis?
00:24:31.000But I mean, they're like separated by a point now.
00:24:33.000DeSantis has totally collapsed in the last three, four days.
00:25:09.000They want an explanation about what they think is misuse of money.
00:25:12.000They didn't even know they had money problems until June 30th, which tells when they needed to file Charlie, which tells you how mismanaged that money was.
00:25:41.000However, from what I heard from someone at the Post, it's a lot more than usual.
00:25:46.000So if it's coming up on the reporting period and you owe me $15,000 for a poll, you don't pay me on the first until the first is over because you don't want to see that money.
00:26:29.000So, but Rich, Let's say that the Ron DeSantis super PAC has $100 million left, which $88, by the way, was raised while he was governor under different pretenses.
00:28:34.000If there's any evidence the debate's harming, but there's nobody who's going to be pushed into this race that's going to shake this race up.
00:28:41.000We ask Trump voters whether or not they're decided, Charlie and they're persuadable.
00:28:46.000Routinely 75%, so they cannot change their mind.
00:29:12.000So, all of this now being Donald Trump and the whole Republican apparatus, including the DeSanta super PAC, should just focus on the general election.
00:29:44.000We do have Democrats largely behind Joe Biden.
00:29:47.000He's solidly at this point now in the 60s.
00:29:51.000For a while, when we polled a very crowded field, he was very weak in the 30s.
00:29:55.000But as that winnowed down and people said they weren't going to run, it has been largely Marion Williamson and Robert Kennedy Jr., who gets around 15%, and Miriam gets around 10%.
