On January 6th, 2021, a man pulled a fire alarm in the U.S. Capitol, causing the doors to the Cannon House office building to lock down and prevent a vote on a continuing resolution. Rep. Jamal Bowman, D-New York, has been charged with obstructing a congressional proceeding, but he claims it was an accident.

00:00:38.060997 days after January 6th, 2021, we finally have evidence of an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
00:00:46.600The insurrection did not come by way of any horn hat-wearing shamans, smiling lectern movers, or even Midwestern grannies.
00:00:55.540The insurrection came by way of Democrat Congressman Jamal Bowman, who was caught on camera pulling the fire alarm at the Cannon House office building just before a motion to adjourn,
00:01:09.420as Democrats sought desperately, some more desperately than others apparently, to delay a continuing resolution vote.
00:01:15.840For those who are unfamiliar with Jamal Bowman, he is a Democrat from New York who once called me a, quote,
00:01:23.660Nazi hell-bent on keeping only white men alive and in power, end quote, because I said that boys and girls are different.
00:01:32.980He is a little eccentric, you could say, a little excitable, and now apparently, by Democrats' own logic, an insurrectionist.
00:01:41.840On January 6th, sorry, on January 6th, the worst day in the history of this already republic, of 2021, Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
00:01:56.160And for years after that, Nancy Pelosi withheld video footage exonerating many of the January 6thers.
00:02:03.420Footage, for instance, showing the horn hat guy being escorted through the Capitol by police officers.
00:02:09.600Now, Republican Kevin McCarthy is the Speaker of the House, and so we have seen, right away, proof of Jamal Bowman pulling the alarm and attempting to disrupt the motion.
00:02:25.140Congressman Bowman has been caught on camera doing much more to obstruct an official congressional proceeding than any of the prominent January 6thers.
00:02:56.340Doesn't look good when you pull fire alarms in the U.S. Capitol.

00:03:32.200Speaking of our nation's capital, we might get a third-party candidate for president and one of the most serious third-party challengers in a very long time.
00:04:05.580I mean, listen, I think if you actually do see some of the photos of the signs, I think there's something to be said about the government's about to shut down,
00:04:13.780there's a vote clock that's going down, the exits that are normally open in that building were suddenly closed.
00:07:27.760It was one of just pure shock that he had been caught.
00:07:32.920He just was so shocked to face any consequences for his actions.
00:07:39.240And I think that's exactly what's going on with Bowman here.
00:07:41.800I think that's exactly what's going on with AOC and all the rest of the Democrats.
00:07:45.660They're just shocked that for once, they're being held accountable for their actions.
00:07:50.420Because they forgot that Kevin McCarthy, at least for now, is the Speaker of the House.
00:07:53.980And they forgot that there's security camera footage.
00:07:55.880And they forgot that sometimes, on rare occasions, they get outed for committing crimes and obstructing official proceedings and doing exactly the same stuff that when the right-wingers do it, they call it a coup d'etat, the worst insurrection in history.
00:08:14.440Now, speaking of getting caught, the House Oversight Committee has just discovered some proof, I think pretty clear proof, that Joe Biden himself was on the take from foreign countries selling American influence.
00:08:30.580The House Oversight Committee has found that China wired $260,000 to Joe Biden's house.
00:08:46.160But the address that was on file for The Wire was Joe Biden's house.
00:08:53.720Now, this means, at the very best, the most charitable read of this is that Hunter just happened to be living with Joe shortly after Joe announced his candidacy in 2019.
00:09:08.360This is just a few months after Joe said, I am running for president.
00:09:11.520Over a quarter million dollars shows up to Joe's house.
00:09:14.600But it was just because Hunter happened to be there, and it was all a big misunderstanding, and Joe didn't know nothing about it.
00:09:20.860But it just doesn't, it just unfortunately doesn't look great.
00:09:24.720Now, the reason that this doesn't work is because the Bidens have consistently lied about every single aspect of this story, which we'll get to in a second, though.
00:09:33.840But if you don't have a quarter million dollars in wire transfers just randomly showing up at your house, you're probably going to want to protect some of your assets with birch gold.
00:12:20.120Look, I'm just not going to respond to that from here.
00:12:22.760Look, we have heard from House Republicans for years and years and years how how the inaccuracies and lies when it comes to this issue.
00:12:34.680And I don't even where to begin to even answer that question, because, again, it's been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the past couple of years.
00:12:43.100And I'm just not going to get into it from here.
00:12:48.400I'm not going to name what those lies are, but there are so many lies that I'm not going to answer this accusation, which I'm not going to directly call a lie because it's obviously true.
00:13:02.640But now we know that 260 grand, at least, coming from BHR Partners Associates, which is bankrolled by the Bank of China, which is all deeply mired with the Chinese Communist Party, sent that money to Hunter, listing Joe Biden's Delaware home as the beneficiary address for the funds.
00:13:27.100Can we really say, though, can we in charity say, well, it was really just for Hunter.
00:13:36.660You can't forget about separating Hunter.
00:13:39.520You can't separate any of the Biden family from this issue, because on top of the revelations about Hunter, on top of the revelations about Joe Biden's Delaware home address.
00:13:52.080We now have the New York Post reporting that Hunter Biden's daughter, Naomi, 29-year-old Naomi Biden, was working on behalf of a foreign government, representing a foreign government as a lawyer, around the same time that she was living at the White House.
00:14:10.880Why do we think the government of Peru hired Naomi Biden to represent it?
00:14:17.600Do we think it's because I don't want to besmirch Naomi's scholarship and legal career.
00:14:23.200Something tells me, though, as a 29-year-old lawyer, she's probably not all that accomplished yet, even if she were a good lawyer.
00:14:28.940So why would the government of Peru hire Naomi Biden, this random 29-year-old lawyer, to represent it?
00:14:36.980Might it have something to do with her last name?
00:14:40.460Might it have something to do with the fact that she was living in the White House around the time she was working for them?
00:14:50.440In that way, this is like the Trump Organization.
00:14:54.640The Trump Organization and the Biden Organization are very different in that the Trump Organization, even working in real estate in New York with a lot of shady characters,
00:15:03.020the Trump Organization is basically on the up and up, and the Biden Organization is pure influence peddling because Donald Trump did not serve in government until 2017.
00:15:14.800Donald Trump, for all the shadiness that goes into doing any kind of serious business in New York, Donald Trump was working in the private sector.
00:15:23.300Joe Biden has made every penny that he's ever made, practically, working in government at a very high level of government because he's been in the Senate since the early 1970s.
00:15:31.840So the only way that he and his family have made any money at all is by selling American influence.
00:15:38.160Do you remember when Donald Trump got elected, there was a call for him to put his business in a blind trust or to divest from his business?
00:15:46.640How is Donald Trump going to divest from the Trump Organization?
00:16:03.460He could start another one called Trump Organization 2, Electric Boogaloo, and it would be the same thing because the business is him and his name and his reputation.
00:16:12.940Well, the same is true for the Bidens.
00:16:16.060Joe Biden is the guy with the influence.
00:16:19.180Hunter Biden is the one who peddles that influence overseas in Ukraine, in China, and elsewhere.
00:16:25.960Naomi Biden is another one who, the granddaughter of Joe, daughter of Hunter, is another one who peddles that influence overseas in Peru.
00:16:32.800Frank Biden, Joe's brother, is another one who peddles that influence.
00:16:36.240Frank Biden, it's being reported now by the New York Post, Frank Biden openly refers to Joe as the big guy.
00:16:42.560You remember in all those Hunter Biden text messages and emails where we read about 10% for the big guy or given half to the big guy?
00:16:49.880Well, the big guy, Frank Biden admits, is his brother, Joe Biden.
00:16:54.120How about James Biden, Joe Biden's other brother?
00:16:56.080He made every penny to his name practically, peddling Joe's influence too.
00:17:01.120And you can't separate it, which means that when we see quarter million dollar payments, more than quarter million dollar payments going to Hunter, we know that Joe's involved.
00:17:13.640Hunter wouldn't have any of those payments if not for Joe.
00:17:16.520And by the way, Joe's home address is the one listed for the beneficiary line on the payments.
00:17:24.280Speaking of Democrat Party corruption, there is someone running for president against Joe Biden right now who seeks to take on not only the Republican Party, but corruption within the Democrat Party.
00:17:41.920I'm going to be in Philadelphia on October 9th to make a major announcement at the very birthplace of our nation.
00:17:48.620I'm not going to tell you right now exactly what that announcement will be.
00:17:52.060I can say, though, that if you've been waiting to come to one of my public events, this will be the one to come to.
00:17:59.840I'll be speaking about a sea change in American politics and what your part and my part is in that change.
00:18:07.160A lot of Americans who had previously given up any hope that real change would ever come through the American electoral process have begun to find new hope in my candidacy.
00:18:17.980And I understand the deeply felt concern that people have about the way corruption has overtaken our government.
00:18:55.300He might surprise us, but that is probably what this announcement is, which is raising some concerns on the right because there are some people on the right who have spent the last six months building, more than that, the last year or more, building up Bobby Kennedy Jr., who is a liberal.
00:19:15.080He's clearly an intelligent man, but he's a big lib.
00:19:18.540That's why I've never been all that gung-ho about the Bobby Kennedy candidacy, is I think, okay, he's good on COVID.
00:19:25.740He was one of the few of us who early on called the COVID nonsense, but he's wrong on abortion, and he's wrong on guns, and he's wrong on a lot of aspects of our constitutional order, and he's a big lib.
00:20:08.440And all this woke stuff and all this weird sex stuff, it's gone way too far.
00:20:12.300So I can't go all the way with those radicals, or I can't be a socialist, or I can't be like an AOC, but I'm still kind of a Democrat.
00:20:19.800And so they long for the days of a Kennedy.
00:20:22.840You look even at the way that Bobby Kennedy is dressing.
00:20:25.640He's wearing those nice skinny ties from the 1960s.
00:20:28.400He's trying to evoke his father and his uncle, John F. Kennedy, and that time before the Democratic Party had gone completely insane.
00:20:37.720Still, I think this hurts Democrats more.
00:20:41.080Bobby Kennedy is still polling at something like 19% in the Democrat Party.
00:20:44.020I think once the reality of his political positions comes out, I don't think that the likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump, is going to have much of a hard time prying back the types of conservatives who sort of like Bobby Kennedy back from him, back toward Trump.
00:21:00.060And so all in all, I'm kind of for it.
00:21:04.500I think that if Bobby Kennedy is going to be a third-party spoiler in this race, I think he's going to be more Ralph Nader than he will be Ross Perot.
00:21:12.920I think he's going to hurt the Democrats more than the Republicans, probably.
00:23:12.120In the meantime, before we can unseat Joe Biden, Biden is ruthlessly imposing his agenda.
00:23:20.340You want to hear the perfect example of the way Biden is tossing his power around right now.
00:23:29.340There's a German family that is living in the United States that actually sought political asylum.
00:23:35.680We hear all the time about how the millions and millions of illegal aliens crossing our southern border,
00:23:40.240they're actually political asylum seekers.
00:23:42.580When they're not, they're mostly fighting age young men who are economic migrants who just want to make more money in the United States.
00:23:49.540Very, very few actual political asylum seekers relative to the number of illegals crossing the border.
00:23:55.760In this case, we have a German family that did, in fact, seek political asylum because they are Christians.
00:24:01.340They're evangelical Protestants who wanted to homeschool their kids,
00:24:04.580didn't want to send their kids to crazy German public schools that were going to indoctrinate them and fill their heads with all sorts of lies.
00:24:09.480So homeschooling is practically illegal in Germany, at least where they were.
00:24:32.360They didn't cross the border illegally.
00:24:36.980They're here with the government's blessing.
00:24:38.940And Joe Biden is saying they've got to be deported.
00:24:42.860Joe Biden is saying they've got to pack their bags, get out of here.
00:24:47.260Which means their kids are going to have to go back to those insane schools.
00:24:50.620The parents said that when they sent their kids to these public schools in Germany, their whole personalities changed.
00:24:55.820They suffered health issues while attending a public school.
00:24:58.220And any ordinary American knows that that sort of thing happens because of the nonsense that is taught in schools and the deleterious effect that that nonsense has on kids.
00:25:11.120If this family were Venezuelan rather than German, they would be allowed to stay.
00:25:17.460They would be called dreaming, future, bright-eyed, doe-eyed American dreamers.
00:25:23.260If this family were not a family, but just a pack of young fighting-age men from Honduras who crossed the border illegally, paid off the cartels, were involved in all sorts of crime, they'd be allowed to stay.
00:25:39.320They're just seeking a better life here.
00:25:41.880If this family were liberal rather than conservative, if this family were secular rather than evangelical, if this family were inclined to vote Democrat rather than Republican, they would be called a wonderful blessing of diversity to our nation to show us the way toward progress.
00:26:09.300But because they are German, evangelical, conservative, white family homeschoolers, they got to go.
00:26:20.340They're the enemy, according to the Biden administration.
00:26:23.560And the reason for this is that politics is not abstract.
00:26:29.600There are some conservatives, some very naive, squishy conservatives, who believe that politics is totally abstract.
00:26:37.340And it's just about principles floating in thin air, which is why the height of their political commentary and activism is to huff and puff and throw their hands up and say, imagine if the shoe were on the other foot.
00:26:47.460And to say, well, can you imagine if the rules were reversed?
00:26:50.920And to say, this is a double standard.
00:27:32.740Venezuelan, economic migrant, don't speak a lick of English, don't know anything about our culture, easy to manipulate, easy to control, hooked on the welfare system, inclined to vote Democrat at least generations down the line.
00:27:44.680They're the friend of this administration and our broader liberal regime.
00:28:13.920You expect a member of Congress to know how to read?
00:28:16.380You expect a member of Congress to have the functional IQ of a fourth grader and to know what words mean in syntax, in order, when it says emergency exit only, push only if you want the alarm to ring?
00:28:29.340Oh, he couldn't know that, or more likely, of course he did know that, and he just didn't think he'd get caught.
00:28:39.100And as long as Democrats continue to acknowledge the particular character of politics and conservatives just think it's all abstract principles floating in thin air applying equally to everybody, we're going to continue to lose.
00:28:56.360We want principles, and the ultimate principle that we want is justice.
00:29:01.600But the way to get justice in politics is not to bury our heads in the sand and to pretend that politics is practiced other than as it is.
00:29:09.140It's to recognize that it is really about groups of people and teams and alliances.
00:29:13.620When AOC refuses to throw Bowman under the bus, even though we got him dead to rights, we got him on camera, it's clear as day.
00:29:36.780So they're going to deport the German, and we're going to say, well, okay, but now you better deport all those economic migrants who are very likely to vote for Democrats and who aren't evangelical homeschoolers.
00:29:50.580Every Republican should be pushing to allow this family to stay.
00:29:53.260This family is the exact type of family that should be granted asylum in the United States.
00:30:01.840Christians fleeing religious persecution in Europe where we don't even take that many European immigrants anymore.
00:30:11.540The vast, overwhelming majority of immigrants that we take in are from Latin America.
00:30:15.480So if you want any kind of fairness in our immigration system, surely you would say, okay, one of the underrepresented groups that don't really immigrate to the United States or are not really allowed in, maybe we should allow them in.
00:30:26.100Every Republican should be clamoring to let this family stay with political asylum.

00:31:01.580Speaking of specific people, there's a race on for who replaces Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate.
00:31:13.160Senator Feinstein lived a very long life.
00:31:15.600You know, it's always sad when people die because death is just a sad thing.
00:31:21.980But, you know, she didn't flip her Corvette at age 22.
00:31:24.720She lived until the ripe old age of 90 or thereabouts.
00:31:27.500She served in the Senate until her last day.
00:31:30.360She had a largely distinguished career in as much as even conservatives kind of like her because she wasn't the craziest lib in the whole U.S. Senate.
00:31:38.280And now there's a question of who's going to replace her.
00:31:40.960Gavin Newsom, who clearly wants to run for president, the California governor, needs to pick someone.
00:31:45.520But the problem is there's already a race on for her seat because she wasn't running for re-election.
00:31:49.800So the top candidates to replace her are already running.
00:31:53.420That's Katie Porter, U.S. Representative, Barbara Lee, U.S. Representative, and Adam Schiff.
00:32:01.160So it's three members of Congress running to replace her.
00:32:05.780If Gavin Newsom picks any one of them, he will be seen as giving an unfair advantage in the election, which is happening just next year.
00:32:14.220Plus, he's got an identity politics minefield here.
00:32:17.400He's got white lady Katie Porter, but she's popular with the Dems, Barbara Lee, a black lady.
00:32:23.740So if he picks the white lady over the black lady, that's going to be called racist.
00:32:26.820If he picks the black lady over the white lady, that's going to be called tokenism, but he'd probably be able to get away with that more easily.
00:32:32.780And then Adam Schiff, who's a white man, very, very bad, but he's a very prominent Democrat.
00:32:38.860He's probably the most prominent Democrat of any of them, and he ran the impeachment against Donald Trump.
00:34:28.280Meghan Markle is considering a run for office.
00:34:32.000The former Duchess of Sussex, the biological weapon that I think was made in an American laboratory somewhere as a bioweapon to destroy the British crown.
00:34:44.420We just sent her over there like a heat-seeking missile.
00:34:47.320She found Harry and then tried to blow up the monarchy.
00:34:51.020Anyway, she could theoretically maybe be considered to be picked.
00:34:57.540I don't buy it, but Meghan Markle's apparently gunning for it.
00:35:02.000Meghan Markle has reportedly cultivated a lot of political contacts on the left.
00:35:06.360She's close friends with Gloria Steinem, the first lady of feminism in the United States.
00:35:12.660Gloria Steinem, huge force in Democrat Party politics.
00:35:16.400A friend of Gloria Steinem has said that Gloria has been introducing Meghan to pivotal people within the party.
00:35:23.540According to this report, Meghan is interested in politics more than anything else.
00:35:27.460And that's where she believes her power is.
00:35:29.320But she's had to focus on making money.
00:35:30.800Finally, this story, this really puts monarchists in a tough spot, doesn't it?
00:35:37.900There are some people in America who are monarchists, who are just open, avowed monarchists.
00:35:43.340And they're usually very buttoned up, very conservative sort of people.
00:35:46.800And this is now the best shot to get a royal into a position of power in the United States, maybe that we've ever had.
00:35:54.320And it just so happens that the royal is this awful American actress who seems ideologically opposed to monarchy and tries to destroy it and is a big lib.
00:36:04.280I don't know what the monarchists are supposed to do here.
00:36:06.680Puts them in a very, very difficult spot.
00:36:16.640But she didn't want to be the real thing.
00:36:19.120She didn't want to be an actual princess.
00:36:20.320She wanted to leave being a princess to pretend to be a princess on TV.
00:36:25.740But then she didn't want to just play pretend on TV.
00:36:28.160She wants to be in democratic politics.
00:36:30.640What an amazing journey of dissatisfaction that I assume will just never end.
00:36:36.360Because it's a feature of modern liberal life that you're just never satisfied with your station in life.
00:36:40.700Speaking of deluded women, Libs of TikTok has just found a video of, probably I'm not allowed to keep this on a certain social media website.
00:36:51.760Libs of TikTok has found a perfect example of the illogic undergirding the transgender movement.
00:37:00.920So this might be confusing for some people.
00:37:03.020So like I use he, him pronouns, right?
00:38:03.400Religious people, in fact, are the only people on Earth who are not superstitious.
00:38:07.900And everyone, in fact, will be either religious or superstitious.
00:38:16.000I looked up the Webster definition of superstition because I wanted to be totally precise here.
00:38:22.820The dictionary definition of superstition is a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic, or chance, or a false conception of causation.
00:38:32.080You will either be a religious person.
00:38:34.500Religion is, of course, the habit of virtue that inclines the will to give to God what he deserves.
00:38:41.300You will either be religious and acknowledge God and then follow that logic with your heart and with your whole spirit.
00:38:50.600And with your logic, theology is faith-seeking understanding.
00:38:53.480And you will apply the rigors of logic to your intuitions of the metaphysical.
00:38:57.580Or you'll just believe in magic and chance and superstition and all of this kookiness.
00:39:06.080Religious people, the kind who are being kicked out of the United States because they want to homeschool their kids and they don't want to send them to crazy lib schools.
00:39:15.800They believe there's a God who loves us.
00:39:17.300We're made in the image and likeness of God.
00:39:18.520We have faculties of reason and moral conscience that can allow us to discern between good and evil and we can pursue sanctity or we can pursue vice.
00:39:28.780The non-religious people, the supposedly rational scientific people, they're the ones who believe that men can become women and babies aren't really babies.
00:39:36.460And that we should astral project ourselves onto the seventh moon of Jupiter and that we should consult astrologers and psychics and that crystals have healing powers and we should just vibe with the universe, man.
00:39:51.820The irony is the more supposedly secular and rational and enlightened you become in our modern scientific way, the more superstitious you will become.
00:40:02.980The more you will be likely to have those weird flags on your walls.
00:40:06.460My favorite comment on Friday is from Bryce N. Lanninger, 1216, who says, you're focusing on the effect, not the cause.
00:40:16.160If you want things to get better, you have to find out why they are – oh, no, that's not – that wasn't my favorite comment.
00:40:22.580I'm going to pull my actual favorite comment.
00:40:38.900I wonder if Dianne Feinstein is going to seek re-election and vote for Biden next year.
00:40:44.640And the reason I wanted that to be the comment is because when the senator sadly passed away, my first thought was, okay, that's sad.
00:40:55.520You know, because she lived a good, long life.
00:40:56.940I don't think any of us thought she was long for this world.
00:41:00.880Can I make the joke on the show that while she has died and gone on to her eternal reward, it's unclear if she has resigned her seat in the Senate?
00:41:10.640And I talked to my producers and I talked to sweet little Elisa.
00:43:36.800But at the same time, I don't think this happened.
00:43:42.080I don't – the whole thing to me seems kind of like a sideshow.
00:43:48.120But then so much of the GOP primary is a sideshow.
00:43:51.740Because even if you love Nikki and you're campaigning for Nikki, even if you love Tim Scott, you're campaigning for Tim Scott, even if you love Ron DeSantis, it is simply a fact.
00:44:01.700In fact, the race has not changed at all, not one iota in about 15 months now.
00:44:09.560And we're not just talking about one poll or you question the ABC Washington Post poll or this poll.
00:44:47.800We need somebody that can serve two terms.
00:44:49.840We need somebody that can win states like Georgia and Arizona, which President Trump cannot do or did not do, even though candidates like McCain and Romney had no problem winning those states.
00:45:00.080We need somebody who, and I'm the only one running, including Donald Trump, everything I've promised the voters that I would do as governor of Florida, I've delivered on.
00:45:10.220And then Governor DeSantis goes into the stump speech and says, no, I'm running hardcore.
00:45:47.220Look, could DeSantis have been his VP?
00:45:49.600Yeah, yeah, probably, had he just endorsed Trump early on and said, I'm not going to run for president, cut a deal since he was the most formidable and remains the most formidable challenger to Trump in the race.
00:45:59.260Yeah, maybe, but it's too late for that.
00:46:01.600And so if DeSantis were trying to get a VP spot or even some senior cabinet spot, probably Trump would just toy with him the way that he toyed with Mitt Romney and then degrade him and humiliate him.
00:46:12.280And DeSantis says, I don't want to be degraded and humiliated, so no, I'm going to run for the top spot.
00:46:17.740The die is cast, and if it kills my political career, so be it.
00:46:21.200I'm going to be the alternative to Donald Trump.
00:46:23.560There is a question, because DeSantis has not been able to close that gap, should there be another alternative to Donald Trump?
00:46:30.140And there is a big move afoot to draft Glenn Youngkin.
00:46:35.340Glenn Youngkin is meeting with conservative donors in just a matter of weeks now.
00:46:40.760This would be a last-minute entry into the race, if it were at all possible.
00:46:45.080They will be meeting on October 17th for the Red Vest Retreat.
00:47:11.060But if you're Glenn Youngkin, first of all, you're so late into the race already.
00:47:14.260You've missed major opportunities to fundraise for years now at this point.
00:47:20.200I mean, Donald Trump already had such an advantage on the other candidates, which I think accounts for some of his spot in the polls.
00:47:26.000But even the other candidates have been raising money and out there campaigning.
00:47:29.480Glenn Youngkin hasn't done any of that.
00:47:30.880He's going to enter the race at the very last minute after having seen what happened to DeSantis, maybe the most promising young Republican in the party, certainly in years, who basically just got pushed off to the side by Trump.
00:47:45.840But there are a lot of people who are really serious contenders who just got pushed to the side.
00:47:52.060And you're Glenn Youngkin, and you're going to say, okay, I'm a popular governor right now, but I'm going to throw away my political career to try to challenge Trump at the last minute and probably lose.
00:48:02.740I think what these stories tell you is more indicative of the fact that the anti-Trump part of the GOP is beginning to feel the heat, beginning to get a little bit desperate because their options are not working out.
