00:00:43.620 People are done with the status quo, and they're ready to break things to force to change.
00:00:49.380 We cannot afford to be nostalgic for a flawed system that failed so many.
00:00:53.160 While analysts and commentators have offered countless explanations for why Harris lost the last presidential election,
00:01:00.120 it's clear that those around her are pinning the blame on Joe Biden rather than her own weakness as a candidate.
00:01:07.020 She recently turned down a move to run for governor of California.
00:01:10.300 Despite widespread speculation, she would throw her hat in the ring. 0.99
00:01:14.540 Kamala Harris says for now her leadership in public service will not be in elected office.

00:01:39.740 Doesn't matter who, which one of them runs, whether it's Trump on top of the ballot or it's J.D. Vance,
00:01:47.840 they're going to have a little bit of a tough time.
00:01:50.200 President Trump just moments ago signing an executive order to designate fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction,
00:01:56.180 as an offensive against the Venezuelan narco-terrorists and traffickers

00:02:05.480 Last month, it was reported that the Trump administration would classify fentanyl as a potential chemical weapon threat
00:02:10.880 that's being smuggled on the Venezuelan boats to justify the Caribbean strikes in the Western Pacific.
00:02:16.500 Now, with Trump's new classification of the deadly poison as a WMD,
00:02:20.440 this will likely be used to justify the defense of the bombing and blowing up
00:02:25.620 and drone strikes of these narco-terrorists who are flooding our country with drugs. 0.94
00:02:31.420 President Trump spoke about it just moments ago.
00:02:33.300 Take a listen to what he had to say.
00:02:34.820 That's why today I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country.
00:02:42.800 With this historic executive order I will sign today,
00:02:46.300 we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, which is what it is.
00:02:53.400 No bomb does what this is doing.
00:02:56.360 200,000 to 300,000 people die every year that we know of.
00:03:01.240 So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
00:03:08.500 I think that's great news for America.
00:03:10.760 It's great news for the American people that the scumbags who ship this poison into our country 1.00
00:03:14.620 will finally be held accountable for the destruction and the death and the crime that they've flooded our streets with.
00:03:22.020 Some news out of the FBI.
00:03:23.840 FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino will reportedly decide his future at the FBI within the next few weeks,
00:03:30.120 according to Fox News, over the summer it was reported that the FBI Deputy Director took a day off from work
00:03:36.160 after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.
00:03:40.340 The blow between Bondi and Bongino happened after the FBI and DOJ released a two-page memo
00:03:45.440 concluding that Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list and that he committed suicide.
