00:00:47.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:49.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:51.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:54.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:57.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:58.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:00.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:07.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:08.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:17.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:20.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:29.000 All right, to put a little bit of a capstone on it, essentially, we had an elite cabal that redefined marriage and said it was the most pressing issue in the world, and they just imposed it on the whole country, despite states' rights and states.

00:01:43.000 California voted it down twice to give you an idea where the country was at.

00:01:47.000 And remember, Obama was against it before he was for it.

00:01:50.000 He evolved on the issue. 0.96

00:01:52.000 And then less than a decade later, we have kids learning gay sex in school. 0.98

00:01:57.000 Okay? 0.99

00:01:58.000 Less than a decade later.

00:02:00.000 And just to be clear on my position, because some people are emailing it, I was never in favor of gay marriage ever.

00:02:05.000 I've always been traditional marriage, but I was definitely more libertarian and indifferent.

00:02:09.000 Oh, what's the big deal?

00:02:10.000 That was a mistake.

00:02:11.000 I think a lot of us need to be willing to say, oh, that was not the right way to look at it.

00:02:15.000 Okay, let's get to some other pressing news.

00:02:17.000 Mike Pence is running for the presidency.

00:02:20.000 Any Mike Pence, Pence fans out there, email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:02:25.000 I'm going to read this here.

00:02:26.000 So Mike Pence has a Wi-Fi password.

00:02:29.000 Are we monitoring the clip of Mike Pence's speech?

00:02:31.000 Are we monitoring that?

00:02:32.000 I sure hope so.

00:02:34.000 Mike Pence has a Wi-Fi password at his event, which is password kept his oath.

00:02:40.000 Exclamation point, not a joke.

00:02:43.000 A direct and defiant message to many of you.

00:02:48.000 Oh, and also the smart guy.

00:02:50.000 We got a lot of news.

00:02:50.000 We got the Silver Fox that's running for president.

00:02:53.000 We got the smart guy, Doug Bergum, and then we got Weight Watchers.

00:02:57.000 So let's go one at a time.

00:02:58.000 Smart guy, cut 72.

00:03:00.000 To unlock the best of America, we need a leader who's clearly focused on three things: economy, energy, and national security.

00:03:15.000 And that is, and that is why, and that is why today I'm officially announcing I'm running for the president of the United States of America.

00:03:27.000 Okay, so that's Governor Doug Bergham.

00:03:29.000 Amazingly, I don't get any emails hating on me for criticizing Doug Bergham.

00:03:33.000 Tells you a lot.

00:03:34.000 But he should fire all of his consultants.

00:03:38.000 Who announces on the presidency the same day as somebody else announcing for the presidency?

00:03:42.000 I mean, you can't pick up the phone and say, hey, Mike, when are you announcing?

00:03:46.000 Okay, you do Wednesday, I do Thursday.

00:03:48.000 I mean, this is amateur hour here.

00:03:51.000 And it's the previous vice president who's running for the presidency.

00:03:54.000 And you announced the whole, that is bizarre.

00:03:57.000 Chris Christie announced for the presidency yesterday in one of the strangest presidential announcements I've ever seen.

00:04:07.000 So, Chris Christie goes to New Hampshire to do kind of a town hall, and he just starts walking around and he's walking and he turns his back to the camera and you're like, oh boy, I don't need to see that.

00:04:19.000 You're like the width of three primary voters.

00:04:21.000 Like, geez, Louise, man.

00:04:23.000 He's walking and he with very little self-awareness.

00:04:27.000 I'm going to try my best because I really don't want to dive too deep into the superficial aspect of politics.

00:04:32.000 I really don't, but I just can't help myself.

00:04:35.000 If you were to say, hey, let's have a drinking game for Chris Christie's presidential announcement.

00:04:40.000 Again, I don't drink, but someone has a thing of vodka.

00:04:43.000 Say, okay, every time he says small, yeah, okay.

00:04:46.000 You'd be hospitalized and you'd have to have your stomach pumped.

00:04:50.000 Play Cut 56 in a really perplexing thing.

00:04:54.000 Chris Christie's telling you about getting small.

00:04:58.000 We're going to be small, smaller, and smaller.

00:05:00.000 And smaller in every way.

00:05:01.000 Smaller, smaller in the way.

00:05:03.000 Smaller, smaller.

00:05:05.000 It's getting smaller.

00:05:06.000 Being small.

00:05:06.000 Small, small, small, smaller, and smaller.

00:05:10.000 Smaller, smaller, and smaller.

00:05:11.000 Baldimore.

00:05:12.000 Smaller.

00:05:13.000 Smaller and smaller.

00:05:16.000 small, smaller.

00:05:17.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:05:20.000 Smaller.

00:05:21.000 She's got Doug Bergham running.

00:05:23.000 Again, that is a real picture, not Photoshopped.

00:05:26.000 Again, optics are super important.

00:05:27.000 Whoever told him, hey, let's do a town hall where you're going to be waddling around.

00:05:33.000 It's just that that's not exactly the tone that I would set.

00:05:38.000 Okay?

00:05:40.000 And then you got Doug Bergham.

00:05:41.000 It looks like a hostage video.

00:05:45.000 The key is energy and national security.

00:05:50.000 We are not a serious political party right now, folks.

00:05:53.000 This is Barnum and Bailey level stuff.

00:05:57.000 Who else we got?

00:05:58.000 We're going to have Glenn Young run.

00:06:00.000 Oh, yeah, we got the Miami Mayor.

00:06:02.000 By the way, I don't know his, I think it's Suarez or something.

00:06:05.000 We're just going to refer to him as Miami Mayor.

00:06:07.000 This is what he's going to be known as.

00:06:08.000 I got three people texting me.

00:06:09.000 Hey, the Miami Mayor's running.

00:06:10.000 I was like, you know, he has a name.

00:06:11.000 I don't know it either, but it'd be nice for us to look it up.

00:06:14.000 Oh, it is Suarez.

00:06:15.000 I got it right.

00:08:36.000 With us now is Jason Rance, author of the book of What's Killing America.

00:08:42.000 And I want to talk about this book.

00:08:44.000 Jason, you are still a resident of Seattle, which is quite admirable and impressive.

00:08:51.000 So, Jason, not all heroes wear capes.

00:08:55.000 Yeah, you know, I kind of know you as the Seattle guy.

00:08:58.000 You know, it's very funny.

00:08:59.000 Growing up, there were war correspondents that got known for their frontline reporting in Baghdad or in Mogadishu, and you're kind of the equivalent. 0.89

00:09:09.000 You're kind of like the frontline guy.

00:09:11.000 You know, we're like, yeah, live here right outside of Seattle.

00:09:15.000 All right.

00:09:15.000 So tell us about your book, Jason.

00:09:17.000 Yeah, a lot of this started because once I was covering what was known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, Chaz or CHOP, I started to look at different cities all across the country.

00:09:28.000 And in particular, I was seeing a clear trend in some of the Democrat-run cities, the larger cities, going through pretty much the same exact crises.

00:09:37.000 And rather than accepting the claim that it's all due to COVID, that homelessness is up, crime is up, housing costs are out of control all due to COVID, which never really made sense to me.

00:09:48.000 I started to look at the policies that were in place.

00:09:51.000 And that's when you start to see the clear similarities, that you can point to very specific policies or strategies and initiatives that are ideologically based, that are pursued by the radical left, not necessarily Democrats, but the radical left elements within the Democratic Party.

00:10:09.000 And you start to be able to say, oh, that's why that's happening.

00:10:12.000 This is why homelessness is increasing.

00:10:14.000 This is why it's so expensive to rent or purchase a home in an area.

00:10:18.000 It's pretty much the same policies implemented in very similar ways.

00:10:24.000 And for me, obviously, I want to pursue an initiative to get rid of these policies.

00:10:30.000 And it's mostly political.

00:10:32.000 And so for all of us to truly make our cities great again and to take back our neighborhoods, it's about understanding the why.

00:10:42.000 Why are these policies in place?

00:10:44.000 Why does the radical left believe that these policies are what's best for communities?

00:10:50.000 And once we have that information, which I outline in my book, What's Killing America, that's when I think we can start winning these battles.

00:10:57.000 So, you know, being in Seattle, something that perplexes me is when is the Mercer Island crowd going to be like, you know, this place is not what it used To be.

00:11:05.000 Is it that the people that have done so well in the Seattle-Tacoma area, the Microsoft, the Amazon, the Starbucks, the Boeing people, they're so geographically walled off from the dystopian hellscape of downtown Seattle that they don't care?

00:11:22.000 Or is it that ideology will always triumph?

00:11:25.000 Or is it this overly agreeable Scandinavian attitude, the same problem that Minneapolis has, that I'm just going to allow the worst possible ideas to basically railroad my home because I don't want to be called mean?

00:11:38.000 Yeah.

00:11:39.000 I mean, what's happening in Seattle is really happening all across the country in these larger cities where a lot of folks, I do think, tried to wall themselves off from what was going on in sort of the downtown cores, whether we're talking about Seattle, Portland, LA, San Francisco, or Boston, Philadelphia, New York.

00:11:55.000 What they were trying to do is basically move away from these areas and thinking that those bad policies wouldn't impact them.

00:12:03.000 But what we're starting to see, what we've really seen over the course of the last two years, bad policies have a tendency to spread.

00:12:09.000 This is not Las Vegas.

00:12:10.000 What happens in these big cities will get into the suburbs.

00:12:13.000 And the folks who try to escape, they realize that, yeah, you can't really escape unless you push back because all of this is being done for political purposes.

00:12:23.000 Radical left activists, no matter where they are, will inspire other radical left activists where they live.

00:12:30.000 And if you're winning these battles from that perspective in these major cities, well, guess what?

00:12:35.000 The folks on Mercer Island, the folks in Albany, the folks outside of Chicago, all of a sudden those activists say, oh, we can do this too.

00:12:42.000 We can bring it to our cities.

00:12:44.000 And then on top of that, they inspire lawmakers at the state level to implement policies statewide.

00:12:50.000 So there's really nothing you can do to escape it.

00:12:52.000 I think for a lot of folks, they were either turning a blind eye or they were blinded to what was going on because so many people in these larger cities happen to be ideologically driven, that they've got blinders on.

00:13:05.000 They maybe justify some short-term pain because they think it's going to lead to long-term utopian gain.

00:13:12.000 But once they get impacted personally, once they take their kid to a park and they realize in Santa Barbara, it's covered in needles, once they go walking to a restaurant in Manhattan and they find themselves being robbed, well, all of a sudden they say, oh, okay, maybe this really is serious and I got to start paying more attention.

00:13:32.000 That is the question.

00:13:34.000 What is the breaking point, right?

00:13:35.000 And so far, we're not seeing it.

00:13:37.000 I mean, you take a couple of cities, for example.

00:13:39.000 San Francisco is another one of the kind of garden variety of West Coast liberalism. 0.91

00:13:45.000 I mean, it is an, it really is a non, it's not debatable that San Francisco is a trash heap now.

00:13:53.000 And we've seen it happen over the last couple of years. 0.87

00:13:55.000 It's only gotten worse.

00:13:57.000 And Hilton, for example, they just defaulted on a note.

00:14:00.000 Did you see this?

00:14:01.000 Where they're like, yeah, we're not even going to, we're done.

00:14:03.000 They're like, we are supposed to build this big hotel.

00:14:07.000 You know, lender, take the keys.

00:14:09.000 They just like threw the keys back at the lender.

00:14:09.000 We're done.

00:14:12.000 And so there is a question of what is the breaking point.

00:14:16.000 LA is a little bit subsidized because of, quite honestly, just the weather is so spectacular and because of Hollywood.

00:14:25.000 And so they're impacted, even though they're doing their best to try to drive wealth out with this mansion tax.

00:14:31.000 And we thought we would have saw the breaking point, though, after CHOP and Chaz and autonomous zones.

00:14:38.000 What are the numbers, Jason?

00:14:40.000 How bad is crime now in Seattle?

00:14:44.000 What versus 10 or 15 years ago?

00:14:48.000 Well, versus 10 or 15 years ago, we're way worse, right?

00:14:51.000 I mean, we've seen historical increases in homicides in Seattle just as of two years ago.

00:14:57.000 Last year, they were, I think, one or two murders shy of matching that rate.

00:15:02.000 And this year so far, it looks like we're going to be on pace to either match or exceed that historic high.

00:15:08.000 A lot of this is driven by gun violence.

00:15:10.000 And of course, because a gun is involved, the left will automatically say it's because people can get guns too easily.

00:15:17.000 But actually, that's not really what's going on here.

00:15:19.000 Again, because I think you can tie it all back to policy or initiatives and strategies.

00:15:23.000 The people who are committing the violence, and again, this is not just Seattle.

00:15:27.000 This is happening across the country, are repeat offenders, people who have previously had interactions with police and the courts, but they were the beneficiaries of a system that doesn't want to punish them, that wants to give them endless chances, largely because they sometimes come from a marginalized community and thus the progressives believe that the criminal justice system is racist and it's white supremacist action, blah, blah, blah.

00:15:50.000 So they try to push these people and keep them out of the criminal justice system.

00:15:53.000 And, you know, for kids who are 15, 16, 17 years old, who are stealing, you know, a candy bar from a 7-Eleven, no one wants to put them in jail.

00:16:02.000 But if they're using a gun to rob that 7-Eleven, well, I don't think restorative justice programs are the right move for them.

00:16:08.000 And yet, that's exactly where a lot of these kids are being placed.

00:16:12.000 And same thing with adults where you've got adults who have been arrested 72 times, have been convicted 72 times, and yet somehow never seem to spend meaningful time in jail because the left believes, the radical left believes that jail doesn't work, that it doesn't change someone's life.

00:16:30.000 And you know what?

00:16:30.000 Here's the truth.

00:16:31.000 For some people, it's right.

00:16:33.000 Unless it's a January 6th guy, then jail is always the same.

00:16:35.000 Yeah, of course.

00:16:36.000 Well, I'm talking about liberals, not conservatives, obviously, because we have a different set of standards there.

00:16:42.000 But yeah, jail doesn't work for everyone.

00:16:44.000 It's not going to change everyone's behavior.

00:16:45.000 But here's what's going to happen in the two years or 17 years that someone's in jail.

00:16:50.000 They're not going to commit another crime in society and create a victim out of you and me, our friends and family.

00:16:56.000 So it's not always just about changing or reforming the prisoner, even though I think that that's important.

00:17:03.000 It's also about protecting society.

00:17:05.000 And we're seeing the strategy and the consequences of it happen all across the country.

00:17:13.000 And again, what I found out was these are all driven by policies.

00:17:17.000 And the good news is, because they're driven by policies and laws and lawmakers, well, we have a lot of power.

00:17:22.000 If we organize, we can push back and actually change things.

00:17:25.000 The problem is they've created in the radical left a culture of lawlessness that doesn't change overnight.

00:17:32.000 You can change all the laws and get rid of all the policies today, but it's going to take several years to get back to where we were in accepting a society that does, in fact, play by rules and has a fully staffed police department, for example.

00:17:49.000 All right, here's a fun pop quiz for you.

00:17:51.000 How many sailors throughout history died from scurvy caused by a vitamin C deficiency during the time of Columbus?

00:17:58.000 Is it A, 20,000, B, 200,000, or C, 2 million?

00:18:03.000 Got your answer?

00:18:04.000 It's 2 million.

00:18:05.000 Geez, that's like a genocide of low vitamin C. Would you believe 2 million people had to die before we figured that out?

00:18:11.000 Well, here's what gets crazier.

00:18:12.000 There's a little known deficiency right now killing millions of people around the world and the disease it's causing.

00:18:18.000 Insomnia.

00:18:19.000 According to a study published by Academic Press, magnesium deficiency is a leading cause in sleep disruption in both children and adults.

00:18:27.000 Look, I can attest to this.

00:19:23.000 Jason, you were a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson's program.

00:19:27.000 Tucker has now taken to Twitter.

00:19:30.000 And I want to play a piece of tape here and just get your general reaction about how important Tucker's voice is.

00:19:36.000 Let's play Cut 57, please.

00:19:38.000 By this point, it's possible that American citizens are the least informed people in the world.

00:19:44.000 Your average yak herder in Tajikistan knows who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. 1.00

00:19:49.000 It's obvious.

00:19:50.000 Does he think some skinny dude in a dress is actually a girl?

00:19:54.000 Come on.

00:19:55.000 That idea would never occur to him.

00:19:57.000 You've got to be lied to at full volume over a period of years in order to reach conclusions like that.

00:20:03.000 And of course, we have been.

00:20:05.000 Jason, Tucker's voice was silenced, and now he's back on social media.

00:20:10.000 Your thoughts?

00:20:11.000 I think we're all better off when we have access to more voices.

00:20:15.000 Tucker, a leading voice in the conservative movement.

00:20:19.000 I'm glad that he is back.

00:20:21.000 I'm glad that we can hear his analysis again.

00:20:24.000 I've always, you know, you hear from some folks who don't like him because they simply disagree.

00:20:29.000 Okay, then disagree with him.

00:20:30.000 I think there is a lot of value to hearing people with whom you disagree.

00:20:35.000 I think on the one hand, maybe it changes the way you view certain stories and maybe it changes your thoughts.

00:20:42.000 Or maybe the opposite.

00:20:43.000 Maybe it makes you a bigger believer in your position, but at least you know what the other side is thinking.

00:20:49.000 And, you know, I know that on the left, he's loathed.

00:20:53.000 I know he's loved on the right.

00:20:55.000 I just wish more people on the left would actually listen to the words instead of telling themselves a story about him.

00:21:01.000 And frankly, all conservative voices where we're often just dismissed because we're conservative and people don't actually engage in our ideas or analysis.

00:21:12.000 They simply say, oh, well, he's conservative.

00:21:13.000 It means he's a fascist or whatever it is. 1.00

00:21:16.000 It's silly. 0.99

00:21:16.000 It's ideologically bigoted. 0.99

00:21:19.000 And I think just all of us would be better off listening to more people.

00:21:22.000 You know, Jason, I think part of the issue right now is there are certain topics you're certainly not allowed to challenge.

00:21:29.000 And one of them is this LGBT stuff. 0.94

00:21:32.000 You know, where you live in Seattle, it is completely out of control.

00:21:35.000 Give us a flavor of some of the fights in the schools, some of the things that we've seen emerging in curriculum just in the Seattle-Tacoma area.

00:21:43.000 Yeah, and the funny part is you say it's particularly bad here.

00:21:47.000 I would argue it's very similar in most parts of the country, which explains how bad this issue has become, where we are teaching kids about 13,000 different genders that you can hold all at once, sometimes not have any gender whatsoever. 0.65

00:22:01.000 There was an incident in the Olympia School District that I broke last week that showed Planned Parenthood giving sex education courses to fourth and fifth graders.

00:22:10.000 And some of it was what you expect.

00:22:11.000 Here's why you should wear deodorant and why you have to.

00:22:15.000 But a lot of it also was getting into the crazy wokeness.

00:22:18.000 There was pubic hair art that was displayed to them in the form of drawings.

00:22:22.000 You had specifically puberty blockers.

00:22:25.000 One particular drug, Sufferly in LA, that was being pitched to these kids as a supply that they might need during puberty, which is odd because if you're going through puberty, you definitely don't need a puberty blocker unless you're trying to block it.

00:22:37.000 And you just saw these kinds of lesson plans, pronouns, which apparently, and I'm not making this up, tree is now considered a pronoun in addition to they, them, and Z, Zer, tree.

00:22:49.000 So we're putting this in front of kids.

00:22:51.000 We're doing it at a vulnerable age, in large part because they want to indoctrinate these children into holding these views about gender identity so that when they grow up and they take on positions of power, they can shift the culture.

00:23:03.000 Because I think it's much more difficult to convince you and I or any adult that there are 12,000 different genders, but it's very easy when you're doing it from a position of authority with some 10-year-old or an 11-year-old.

00:23:16.000 On the other hand, they're also confusing children who look, I think people are born gay.

00:23:22.000 I happen to be gay.

00:23:23.000 But I also know that when you're 10, 11 years old, it is a very confusing time.

00:23:28.000 And we've gone from, and I remember this, and it was sort of triggered by a UN, ironically, a UN women Twitter account that said, toys have no gender.

00:23:38.000 And part of that was like, you know, 10 years ago, when a girl played with a truck or a boy wanted to cook, something like that, we were told, just let them do what it's natural.

00:23:48.000 And now we've gone, thanks to the radical left, to the position of, well, if Susie is playing with a truck, well, that means she's a boy and we should start treating her as a boy.

00:23:57.000 And in fact, stop saying her and she.

00:23:59.000 It has gone way too far.

00:24:01.000 And there are too few voices feeling comfortable enough to push back.

00:24:05.000 I'm glad what we've seen over the course of, frankly, just the last 24 hours, in particular, the Muslim community stepping up and saying, yeah, this is going too far. 1.00

00:24:15.000 Because as they're doing that, we're exposing where the progressives really are.

00:24:19.000 After 9-11, Muslims were deemed a marginalized community that white progressives would protect.

00:24:25.000 They would completely ignore their positions on LGBT issues and just say that we're the white knight coming to the rescue of Muslims.

00:24:33.000 And now all of a sudden they're calling them white supremacists.

00:24:36.000 This shows you how radical these views are.

00:24:39.000 Check out Jason Rance's book, What's Killing American, Jason?

00:24:42.000 Thank you so much.

00:24:43.000 Appreciate it.

00:24:46.000 Mike Pence has announced for the presidency.

00:24:49.000 I want to play some tape here, which deserves some reaction.

00:24:55.000 Mike Pence, former vice president.

00:24:57.000 Let's play cut 80.

00:24:58.000 I'm actually going to be hearing this for the first time.

00:25:00.000 Play cut 80.

00:25:01.000 On that fateful day, President Trump's words were reckless.

00:25:07.000 They endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol.

00:25:10.000 And on that day, President Trump also demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution.

00:25:20.000 Now voters will be faced with the same choice.

00:25:23.000 Yeah, you're going to lose.

00:25:25.000 So this is so.

00:25:28.000 Let me just kind of tell you, I'm not saying these things are all connected, but here's a fact pattern.

00:25:32.000 Does anybody else find it interesting that Mike Pence announces for the presidency and the DOJ drops all charges and investigations, not charges, all investigations into Mike Pence seven days before his announcement.

00:25:46.000 So let me give you the most innocent explanation for that.

00:25:49.000 That Mike Pence's lawyers were lobbying DOJ hard to basically get that cleared up so that Mike Pence could run for the presidency.

00:25:59.000 Another explanation is that Mike Pence is actively working with the Department of Justice to testify against Donald Trump in both the January 6th case and also the document case.

00:26:14.000 There is enough evidence to support that.

00:26:17.000 This is one of his friends speaking at his announcement.

00:26:22.000 Very strange food metaphors going on.

00:26:24.000 I can't quite follow all this.

00:26:26.000 Something about mayonnaise on bacon and on a toast.

00:26:29.000 I think this is one of Mike Pence's friends or something.

00:26:32.000 I kid you not.

00:26:33.000 So you would think that somebody talking about bacon and mayonnaise on toasts would be at the Chris Christie presidential announcement.

00:26:40.000 Play cut 76.

00:26:41.000 You know, this morning I read that somebody said Mike Pence can be a lot like mayonnaise on toast.

00:26:47.000 And let me just suggest this.

00:26:49.000 I think you're going to get to know the Mike Pence that we know, Congressman Pence and I know, and there's a lot of Iowa bacon, maybe even a little Tabasco sauce in that toast, too.

00:26:59.000 That's the Indiana House Speaker Todd Hustin.

00:27:03.000 So it's a very unsavory sounding toast, by the way.

00:27:08.000 I'm just trying to track this.

00:27:09.000 So he said, Mike Pence can be a lot like mayonnaise on toast, but it's not true.

00:27:15.000 There's a lot of Iowa bacon and even a little Tabasco on that toast, too.

00:27:22.000 Yeah, when I think of Mike Pence, I don't think of Tabasco.

00:27:26.000 You got Mike Pence running for the presidency.

00:27:28.000 Quite a coincidence that he is no longer running, that he's no longer being investigated.

00:27:36.000 Some breaking news, too.

00:27:37.000 This is very similar to the language pattern and the diction that Donald Trump used before he got indicted in New York, where it's just a lot of caps, a lot of angry, totally get it.

00:27:52.000 I would be the same way.

00:27:53.000 Where Donald Trump posted today, this is almost parallel, very symmetrical to before Alvin Bragg's deal.

00:28:00.000 Wow, this is turning out to be the greatest and most vicious instance of election interference in the history of our country.

00:28:07.000 Remember, I'm leading Ron DeSantis big in the polls.

00:28:10.000 More importantly, I'm leading Biden by a lot.

00:28:12.000 And also, perhaps most importantly, launching all these fake investigations against Wright Smack Middle My Campaign.

00:28:18.000 Which, by the way, the DOJ used to not go after presidential candidates.

00:28:21.000 That's all gone.

00:28:22.000 Something which is unheard of, not supposed to happen.

00:28:24.000 That is true.

00:28:25.000 DOJ, FBI, New York, AG, New York, DA, Atlanta, DA, fascists, all. 0.76

00:28:29.000 Okay, so they're probably going to indict Trump.

00:28:30.000 That's, I mean, we've been saying that for, you know, kind of around the edges.

00:28:35.000 This is Trump basically telling you his statement starts with wow.

00:28:39.000 Well, what's the wow?

00:28:40.000 Here's what probably happened.

00:28:42.000 Donald Trump probably got a phone call from his attorney and said, Mr. President, they're going to ask you to surrender in the next couple of days, and they're drafting the press release and just letting you know.

00:28:51.000 That's probably what the wow is.

00:28:53.000 Okay?

00:28:54.000 That's probably what it is.

00:28:56.000 So Donald Trump going to be indicted by our federal government while fighting charges in New York.

00:29:03.000 Most Republicans don't seem to care.

00:29:05.000 Most Republicans, Doug Bergham, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, they seem perfectly fine with this.

00:29:11.000 It'll be very interesting to see what they have to say about this.

00:29:14.000 They're going to come for them next.

00:29:15.000 The Miami Mayor, they're going to come after all of them next.

00:29:18.000 They hate Donald Trump so much.

00:29:20.000 It is a personal vendetta.

00:29:22.000 All signs are pointing to a second now indictment of Donald Trump, this time on federal charges, probably on documents.

00:29:28.000 J6 might come later.
