00:02:14.140Remember, I think this is a point many are missing,
00:02:16.440these conversations were seven years ago.
00:02:20.200In November 3rd, 2016, an interview, while still serving as vice president, Biden said this is classified.
00:02:29.240In another conversation on April 24th, 2017, he warned his ghostwriter, some of this may be classified, so be careful with it.
00:02:39.540House Judiciary Republicans noted that the recordings were obtained lawfully through the Trump administration and the Justice Department.
00:02:46.920Tapes were reviewed during special counsel Robert Herr's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.
00:02:54.880Herr's report concluded that Biden read classified notes to his ghostwriter nearly word for word on at least three occasions.
00:03:03.320Yet Herr declined to prosecute, citing concerns that a jury would view Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory.
00:03:12.500Now these newly released audio recordings are shedding further scrutiny on Democrats who at the time attacked Special Counsel Robert Herr, calling him a Republican and saying that his report was political.
00:03:27.300Recognize all this is happening at the same time that the Biden Justice Department was seeking to charge Donald Trump for the retention of classified documents, which under the Presidential Records Act, he was entitled to retain and to declassify at any time.
00:03:44.740Robert Herr was appointed in 2023 to investigate Biden's handling of the classified documents after his vice presidency.
00:03:52.140Again, his investigation concluded that Biden had retained classified material, but recommended against criminal charges, writing that the jury would view him as a, quote, sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.
00:04:07.260The language immediately drew fierce attacks from Democrats.
00:04:11.800Then-Vice President Kamala Harris called her characterization inaccurate and inappropriate.
00:04:18.160The way the president's demeanor is in that report was characterized could not be wrong on the facts.
00:04:23.240Well, it turns out that Harris was entirely wrong based on the transcripts released today.
00:04:28.820She also described the report as clearly politically motivated.
00:04:32.740Congressman Dan Goldman, soon to be a former congressman because he was defeated for renomination, accused Hurd of improperly editorializing.
00:04:41.780What everyone will soon see is that this is a Republican special counsel who completely went out of his way to editorialize to include material in his report that is unnecessary and irrelevant to what he was tasked with doing, Goldman said.
00:04:57.980Then, of course, Pencil Neck himself, Congressman, now Senator Adam Smith, smeared her as a hack, claiming that the report was political.
00:05:07.580In fact, her appointment was nonpartisan and her is not a Republican.
00:05:13.600It is amazing here because there is a historical precedent, of course.
00:05:18.020When it was learned that Richard Nixon's White House conversations had been taped, Nixon went to the Supreme Court in an attempt to block release, and the court voted against him 9-0.
00:05:32.180But the more fundamental question here is if Joe Biden was too mentally unstable in 2023 to be prosecuted, how was he mentally stable enough to be president of the United States?
00:05:45.880The tapes bring deep concerns about the two-tier justice system,
00:05:50.140one's danger for Democrats and the other for their political opponents.
00:05:54.240I think Biden deserves to be prosecuted,
00:05:56.340and his lack of mental fitness is no excuse for him to skirt justice.
00:06:00.480But you'll remember that personalities like CNN's Jake Tapper
00:06:04.760savagely attacked Lara Trump when she raised the question of Joe Biden's fitness.
00:06:10.580Now, Joe Biden's mental fitness is there for all to see in these recordings.
00:06:15.180President Trump is making clear that America's alliance with Israel remains strong
00:06:20.180But American policy will still be made in Washington, D.C., not Jerusalem
00:06:24.980Ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's White House visit
00:06:29.960President Trump pushed back against Netanyahu's opposition to a possible U.S. sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey
00:06:40.520Nobody tells me what we should be selling or not
00:06:43.420The message is unmistakable that Israel may be America's closest part in the Middle East, but even close allies do not get to dictate U.S. foreign policy.
00:06:53.780President Trump also reminded reporters that the Israel relies heavily on the American military and diplomatic support.
00:07:00.660This is not in any way an abandonment of Israel.
00:07:03.420It's actually just a statement of reality and a warning that the relationship must serve America's interest as well as Israeli security.
00:07:12.040At the same time, President Trump said Washington and Jerusalem remain largely aligned on Iran despite some differences over diplomacy.
00:07:21.560President Trump believes pressure created by American action has brought Tehran back to the negotiating table, while Netanyahu has generally favored a harder line.
00:07:30.240This is authentic, America-first leadership. Trump supports Israel, confronts Iran, and recognizes Turkey's strategic importance, but he refuses to become captive of any foreign government's agenda.
00:07:43.100For too long, Washington politicians have confused alliances with blank checks. President Trump understands the difference.
00:07:50.560A strong president can stand firmly behind Israel while still telling Netanyahu no when necessary.
00:07:57.000Friendship does not require submission, and alliance does not erase American sovereignty.
00:08:02.060Israel is our greatest ally, who we must remain allied with in the promotion of Western civilization
00:08:07.540and with the shared goal of eliminating Muslim terrorism.0.91
00:08:11.040But Donald Trump was elected to put America first, and, well, that's exactly what he is doing.
00:08:17.340Meanwhile, President Trump is demanding answers about America's childhood vaccination scandal
00:08:22.880and the sharp rise in autism diagnoses questions the political and medical establishment
00:08:28.700too often dismisses at the behest of big pharma instead of investigating openly.
00:08:34.040According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump has repeatedly pressed
00:08:37.380Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to examine whether the number
00:08:42.940or timing of childhood vaccinations deserves greater scrutiny.
00:08:47.280President Trump has also urged officials to make reducing autism rates a priority
00:09:09.860Better detection may explain part of that increase
00:09:13.640but parents deserve rigorous research, not ridicule, censorship, or automatic appeals to authority.
00:09:20.860The White House says families worried about zoaring autism rates have long ignored, mocked, and promises to pursue gold standard science.
00:09:30.400HHS similarly says it will investigate the root causes of autism and other chronic childhood diseases using evidence-based research.
00:09:39.400Mainstream studies have not established that vaccines in nations cause autism
00:09:45.180But there has been a great deal of suppression on the issue
00:09:47.940With big pharma standing to lose billions if the truth were to be uncovered
00:09:52.140A promulgated scientific consensus should never shut down legitimate questions about dosage, scheduling, side effects or conflicts of interest
00:10:02.260President Trump's position and that of RFK is not that America should abandon medicine
00:10:07.660it is that public health officials must earn trust through transparency, independent research, and honest debate.
00:10:15.140The Trump administration is finally restoring that after decades of decay.
00:10:20.040Skepticism of the big pharma-driven status quo is far from reckless.
00:10:24.160In fact, it is responsible leadership.
00:10:27.220Eating well shouldn't be complicated, but somehow it turns into recipes, prep, cleanup, and half your Sunday gone.
00:14:00.440If McConnell cannot physically perform the job, why is he still holding it?
00:14:04.940McConnell has already announced that he won't seek re-election in 2026,
00:14:08.900but his term continues while Kentucky is represented by a senator who's been absent for weeks
00:14:14.000and remains unable to resume his normal duties.
00:14:17.020His office says he continues monitoring senator business and issuing statements, but all of this could be an elaborate cover-up meant to prevent a special election or appointment from being held.
00:14:28.400This is also seriously shortchanging the voters of Kentucky.
00:14:32.860Look, Kentucky elected a senator expected to appear, vote, debate, and represent the state's interests in person as an active participant.
00:14:42.080Mitch McConnell's latest health crisis follows years of public concerns,
00:14:46.180including repeated falls and highly visible episodes in which he appeared to freeze while speaking to reporters.
00:14:53.660The propping up of McConnell by the Republican establishment shows that they're no better than the Democrat establishment
00:14:59.040than what they did throughout Joe Biden's presidency.
00:15:01.920We talked about that at the beginning.
00:15:04.180The Republicans need to sharply rebuke this troubling trend of protecting powerful incumbents
00:15:08.960long after they've lost their ability to serve.
00:15:12.160This is not about disrespecting McConnell's age or his medical condition.
00:15:17.400He should be allowed to live his golden years in peace, comfort, and around loved ones.
00:15:21.100But when a senator is medically unable to do the job for an extended period,
00:15:26.300resignation should be the responsible course.
00:15:29.700Kentucky deserves full representation,
00:15:32.540not an indefinite absentee arrangement managed by staff and political insiders.
00:15:37.580Public office is not a lifetime entitlement. McConnell's conditions made it abundantly clear that it's time for him to step aside.
00:15:46.880In the meantime, we are watching the Senate continue to backpedal overpassing the Save America Act.
00:15:57.840At least three senators think the U.S. Senate should stay in session.
00:16:01.500But Senate Majority Leader John Thune seems bent on leaving for vacation.
00:16:07.580without acting on the single most important piece of legislation,
00:16:11.240one that would simply require that one be a U.S. citizen in order to vote in a federal election
00:16:16.960and one have a photo ID in order to do so.
00:16:21.160I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:16:25.560Please, whatever you do, don't go away because we'll be right back with more Hot Politics.
00:16:33.580The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.
00:16:47.640As Americans watch our cities decay under decades of democratic governance with rising crime, open disorder, failed soft on crime policies,
00:16:58.280flock cameras are being floated as the plausible solution.
00:17:01.700These automated license plate readers have proliferated by the tens of thousands across the country.
00:17:07.580often installed with little public notice or debate.
00:17:11.420So what began as a quiet expansion has now triggered a widespread and growing backlash.
00:17:20.300It's the natural response of free people who recognize a fundamental threat to their privacy rights when they see one.
00:17:27.500Two prominent Tennessee Republicans are raising alarms over the rapid expansion of these automated license plate reading technology cameras,
00:17:36.060which are proliferating across the country, warning that the growing network of surveillance cameras could erode America's privacy without adequate legal safeguards.
00:17:46.840Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and Congressman Tim Burchett, who joined us here in the Stone Zone only days ago,
00:17:53.580are both calling for action as Flock's Safety Automated License Reader, or ALPR, cameras continue spreading across Tennessee and across the country.
00:18:07.920I appreciate Congressman Birch's effort to bring this attention to this issue to the national level.
00:18:14.360As technology advances, he said, we need to make sure the rules and regulation surrounding these devices
00:18:20.340keeps up and continues to protect the rights and liberties of our people.
00:18:25.180The concerns come as flock safety has rapidly grown into one of the nation's largest provider of this technology.
00:18:31.460The company's cameras are marketed as crime-fighting tools that can help law enforcement locate stolen vehicles, identify suspects, and assist in criminal investigations.
00:18:42.160However, citizens and government officials are skeptical that the expanding network amounts to mass surveillance of ordinary Americans who are not suspected of committing any crimes.
00:18:53.400In Tennessee, the mayor is urging county officials to reject the deployment of the flop cameras altogether.
00:18:59.900In a video statement posted Monday, he argued that today's AI-powered license plate readers go far beyond the older systems that merely photograph license plates for short-term law enforcement use.
00:19:13.780While license plates readers have been around for a while because of AI and vastly increased networking and data retention capabilities, these flop cameras have capabilities that were never imagined in the past.
00:19:26.820The data is stored in a searchable database for sometimes up to a month or more,
00:19:31.380depending on the policies of the particular agency or jurisdiction.
00:19:36.180Burschett has announced, Congressman Burschett has announced legislation to ban the cameras.
00:19:42.360His forthcoming legislation would seek to put limits on the use of this surveillance technology.
00:19:47.660We've got to keep our country safe, said Congressman Burschett.
00:19:51.000What we can't sacrifice is the freedom of course that defines us, Burschett said in a video.
00:19:56.100he posted to X, it is, and he's right about this, a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
00:20:02.140Burchett has introduced H.R. 9800 to Congress. That was on July 21st. It's called the Protection
00:20:09.040Against Mass Surveillance Act, which would prohibit federal agencies from purchasing,
00:20:14.440using, accessing, or contracting for widespread surveillance technologies. It would also bar
00:20:20.980state, local, and federal government from using federal funds to acquire or operate those systems.
00:20:28.140Burchett claims that the cameras fight our constitutional rights and force Americans to
00:20:32.620choose between safety and liberty. He explains that law enforcement and intelligence agencies
00:20:37.820should have tools to address threats by taking our constitutional rights is not on the table.
00:20:43.920Trust but verify, he said, quoting Ronald Reagan, this legislation, of course, will hopefully restore
00:20:49.740the constitutional balance between national security and individual liberty.
00:20:55.700Look, as a conservative, this is big brother writ large.
00:21:49.700I don't believe that Mayor Mamdami has any place at the September 11th Memorial this year or any other year.
00:21:56.760The 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks is not a political rally, a campaign opportunity,
00:22:04.120or a stage upon which ambitious political officials can rehabilitate their reputations.
00:22:08.880It's a sacred day of remembrance dedicated to the nearly 3,000 innocent Americans murdered by Islamic terrorists, the first responders who ran towards the flames while others fled, the military men and women who answered the nation's call and the wars that followed, and the families whose lives were forever shattered.
00:22:28.100That day belongs to them. It does not belong to politicians whose public record demonstrates repeated sympathy for those connected to the very ideology that produced the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.
00:22:41.620Yesterday, Mayor Zoran Mamdami stood firm at a press conference not that he would attend the official commemoration.
00:22:48.520That decision is an act of extreme cruelty towards the city he governs and towards every family still carrying the weight of that clear September morning.
00:22:58.100Even entertaining the idea of his presence at the memorial or among the survivors and the bereaved shows a complete absence of basic human decency
00:23:07.340The growing petition urging organizers to exclude him from the 25th anniversary ceremony is not motivated by religious prejudice, political partisanship or personal animosity
00:23:19.000It reflects something far more profound
00:23:21.340Survivors of the attacks, relatives of those who never came home, retired police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and ordinary New Yorkers understand that September 11th is about remembering those who suffered unimaginable loss.
00:23:37.580It is not compatible with elevating a public official whose own record repeatedly displays astonishing indifference towards that suffering while extending understanding, admiration, or political solidarity towards those associated with the attack.
00:26:44.260Go to factormeals.ca and use code RESET.
00:26:47.340That's up to $90 off and free shipping,
00:26:50.020but only with the code RESET at factormeals.ca.
00:26:53.020Meanwhile, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is warning that President Donald Trump's America First immigration policies could create labor shortages, an argument that simply does not hold water when viewed by the American people.
00:27:10.480The Chamber of Commerce is urging Congress to protect migrants enrolled in the Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, program after the Trump administration moved to end protections for people from more than a dozen countries.
00:27:25.720Business groups claim construction, hospitality, manufacturing, and caregiving would lose workers.
00:27:32.140But that is, of course, precisely the point.1.00
00:27:34.640Those workers should be sent back and replaced by Americans at better wages.0.98
00:27:39.360The Temporary Protected Status Program was created as a temporary humanitarian program, not a permanent labor pipeline for corporations seeking cheap, dependable foreign workers.0.99
00:27:55.300When an emergency designation continues year after year, temporary loses its meaning and immigration policy becomes driven by corporate employers rather than the national interest.
00:28:06.980That's a big part of why we're in the crisis we find ourselves in today.
00:28:10.960The chamber's complaint follows a familiar pattern.
00:28:14.940The organization has repeatedly opposed major parts of President Trump's agenda, including tariffs intended to protect American industry and tighter immigration rules.
00:28:25.460Now it suggests businesses cannot survive without workers whose temporary permission to remain has expired.
00:28:31.900That concern ignores Americans' push out of the workforce, wages held down by abundant labor, and employers' responsibility to recruit, train, and fairly compensate citizens and lawful permanent residents.
00:28:47.720A business model dependent upon endlessly renewed emergency status is not a national workforce strategy.
00:28:57.060It's a way to enrich corporates while chipping away at the demographic integrity of our country.
00:29:03.720President Trump is ripe to restore the rule of law and insists that temporary programs remain just that, temporary.
00:29:10.700Congress should focus on secure borders, lawful immigration, higher wages, and opportunities for American workers, not another carve-out demanded by Washington's corporate lobbying establishment.
00:29:23.700Chamber of Commerce calls it a labor shortage, but common sense Americans say that is exactly the point.
00:29:29.700Let corporations bid up labor for Americans. That's the way it should be.
00:29:34.620Meanwhile, a new report is raising serious questions about who may be financing the radical protest networks that have disrupted highways, occupied campuses, and openly promoted anti-American revolutionary politics since the October 7th attacks by Hamas against Israel.
00:29:53.260The Network Contagion Research Institute says that the Berkeley-based Middle East Children's Alliance, or MECA, has effectively financed, served as a financial bridge actually, between major progressive donors and organizations with alleged ties to the Popular Front for the liberation of Palestine.
00:30:13.580The PFLP is a Marxist-Londonist militant organization designed by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization.
00:30:23.260designated by the Justice Department. According to the NCRI, MECA reported roughly $35 million
00:30:31.300in foreign grants between 2017 and 2025. Investigators retraced $13.5 million in
00:30:39.380institutional donations, about two-thirds rooted through donor-advised funds and platforms that
00:30:45.260can actually obscure where the money originally came from. Foreign grants reportedly surged to
00:30:51.020$10.7 million in 2024, while many disbursements were described as quote-unquote community projects,
00:30:58.580making it difficult for the public to determine where the money ultimately went. The NCRI identified
00:31:04.900several longtime partners, it says, have documented affiliations with the radicals, along with
00:31:10.780overlapping personnel and activist relationships. Named funding sources reportedly included entities
00:31:18.020connected to George Soros' Open Society Foundation,
00:31:21.980the Rockefeller Brothers Funds, the Tides Foundation,
00:31:24.860and left-wing financier and Chinese communist Neville Roy Singham.
00:31:45.000This is no longer about campus activism.
00:31:48.020It's about national security, transparency, and whether radical networks are using charitable institutions to undermine our country from within.
00:31:57.280And if the evidence shows that they are guilty, all those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.0.65
00:32:05.120Meanwhile, Massachusetts Democrats are advancing legislation that would create a permanent state commission tasked with recommending Muslims for government appointments,
00:32:15.580raising fresh concerns about identity-based hiring, political favoritism, and the lingering effects of DEI in blue states.
00:32:25.500Senate Bill 2134 would establish an 11-member Muslim commission appointed by Governor Maura Healey and other state officials.
00:32:35.700The panel would advise the state government on business, health care, education, and other issues affecting Muslim residents.
00:32:43.900More controversially, the bill directs the commission to identify and recommend American Muslims for appointed positions throughout government, including boards and commissions.
00:32:54.620This is basically greasing the skids for the implementation of Sharia law.0.90
00:33:00.620There is no reason why any religious group should receive a government-backed pipeline into public office, particularly when it comes to faith as antithetical to Western values as Islam.0.92
00:33:12.460Government positions should be filled according to merit, qualifications and service to the public0.99
00:33:18.580Not religion, race, ethnicity or membership in a politically favored group
00:33:23.740The proposal comes as President Trump's administration moves to dismantle the mandate to restore equal treatment
00:33:34.460And eliminate policies that divide Americans into competing identity groups
00:33:38.920Muslims reportedly make up roughly 2 to 3 percent of Massachusetts' population,
00:33:43.740but equal citizenship does not require separate commissions for every faith or demographic category.
00:33:50.600If Massachusetts wants fair hiring, it should create one standard for everyone.
00:33:55.900Establishing a religiously defined commission with influence over government appointees
00:34:00.260replaces equal opportunity with woke ideological preference.
00:34:04.020This is not only brazenly unconstitutional, but it's also un-American.
00:34:09.760This condition must be shut down by the federal government in the courts, or otherwise, if it is ultimately approved in the loony left of Massachusetts, it will further erode our society.
00:34:20.140Meanwhile, Venezuela's new government is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, and Washington is rightly calling for another victory for national sovereignty and for President Trump's Don Roe Doctrine.
00:34:34.020The State Department welcomed Caracas' announcement, saying Venezuela is joining America-led efforts to dismantle an institution it described as corrupt, politically biased, and illegitimate.
00:34:47.080The International Criminal Court spent years investigating the Maduro regime, yet produced no meaningful accountability before the former dictator was removed this past January.
00:34:58.800Now under new leadership, Venezuela is moving closer to the United States and further from the failed international bureaucracy that protects its own power while delivering very little justice.
00:35:13.080Trump's strategy of restoring America's strength in the Western Hemisphere is working.
00:35:17.360It's not coincidental that with the shutdown of USAID that left-wing regimes across this hemisphere in Chile, in Peru, in Honduras, in Colombia are failing.
00:35:31.780The Dunro Doctrine is not an academic slogan. It's a warning that hostile regimes, formal drug networks, and unaccountable global institutions will no longer dominate America's neighborhood without consequences.
00:35:48.200Israel has also praised Washington's tough posture.
00:35:51.060Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed America's intention to act forcefully after a court that has targeted democratic institutions while repeatedly failing to confront genuine tyranny.
00:36:06.060The International Criminal Court's credibility suffered another blow when member states removed Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan amid misconduct allegations.
00:36:19.400For decades, global elites lectured sovereign nations while escaping accountability themselves.
00:36:27.440The idea that American citizens would be subject to some international court run by bureaucrats in The Hague is absurd, and America has never recognized the authority of the International Criminal Court.
00:36:41.000Venezuela's realignment shows that decisive American leadership can accomplish things when they set their mind out to do so.
00:36:47.640President Trump confronted a hostile regime, changed the strategic balance, and created space for a government willing to cooperate with Washington.
00:36:55.780The Don Roe Doctrine is producing results and every nation in the hemisphere will be changed forever because of it.
00:37:03.800Meanwhile, a Portland Antifa militant has pled guilty to felony assault after attacking a federal officer during anti-ice riots last year.
00:37:12.440Federal prosecutors say that 21-year-old Giovanni Joseph Brumbelow struck a Border Patrol tactical unit agent in the back of the head with a wooden stake outside Portland's Immigration Customs Enforcement Facility on June 14th.
00:37:29.340Videos show that Brumbelow, dressed in black and wearing riot gear as he rushed in to disrupt the arrest of another riot, the blow forced the agent to release the suspect and turn towards Brumbelow.
00:37:40.600Brumbelow now faces up to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
00:37:48.820He has also agreed to pay restitution to the injured officer.
00:37:52.180Sentencing is now scheduled for October 19th, and frankly, they should throw the book at this communist punk.0.56
00:37:58.440This is not, unfortunately, an isolated outburst.0.72
00:38:00.640The attack came after a six-month campaign against Portland ICE, the facility that produced arson, property destruction, and repeated assaults on federal personnel.
00:38:11.440Another defendant, Robert Hoops, was sentenced to two and a half years in person after admitting he threw a large rocket at an ICE agent's head, leaving the officer bloodied.
00:38:20.620More than 30 defense have been charged and connected with violence at the facility since June of 2025.
00:38:25.820In the pre-Trump era, these Antifa thugs would have seen their charges severely lessened or dropped completely.
00:39:44.240That support, by the way, crossed party lines
00:39:46.680with 94 percent of Republicans, 73 percent of Independents, and even 68 percent of Democrats
00:39:53.300backing that requirement. The survey also undercuts the left's claim that voter ID is an
00:39:59.520unfair or racist obstacle that somehow constitutes voter suppression. 66 percent of voters rejected
00:40:06.580that argument, while just 29 percent considered this identification requirements to be too
00:40:12.560Birdison. After hearing all the bill's provisions, including citizenship verification, photo ID,
00:40:19.480voter roll checks, and closing registration loopholes, nearly 56 percent said Congress
00:40:24.940should pass it before the midterm elections. Only 34 percent said lawmakers should abandon
00:40:30.600the effort this year. Even the argument that married women could face difficulties
00:40:35.280failed to move most voters. The bill allows women whose current name differs from their birth
00:40:41.000records to sign a statement confirming that change. 62% called that reasonable. So President
00:40:48.040Trump is right to make this legislation a priority and to refuse to accept excuses from cowardly
00:40:53.940Senate leaders like Senator John Thune as to why it cannot be passed. The problem here, as we don't
00:40:59.840know, is the filibuster rule. The filibuster rule is not a law. It is a custom. It is a tradition.
00:41:07.220Under that tradition, a piece of legislation doesn't require 51 votes to pass the Senate.
00:41:14.420It requires 60 votes to come up for a vote.
00:41:18.020I believe that there are 50 votes for the Save America Act today, plus Vice President J.D. Vance could break a tie providing the 51st vote.
00:41:28.000But John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, essentially refuses to bring the measure to the floor or to break the filibuster.
00:41:38.260President Trump is right when he says the Democrats will abandon the filibuster rule if they retake control of the Senate.
00:41:45.080American elections should be decided by American citizens and votes must be expected to prove who they are.
00:41:51.820This is how it has always worked in every country.
00:41:54.040America should be no exception in this regard.
00:41:56.380Democrats and media activists can manufacture excuses, but the public's not buying them.
00:42:02.660Congress should pass the Save America Act before November and give Americans the secure, trustworthy elections they are overwhelmingly demanded.
00:42:12.960Meanwhile, new financial disclosures are raising serious questions about Michigan's far-left U.S. Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed,
00:42:21.160a prominent left Democrat who waited until the day before the primary to reveal that he and his
00:42:26.740wife own valuable rental properties in three other countries. The filing covering the 2025 calendar
00:42:33.200year showed that El Syed's wife owns a condominium in Bangalore, India valued between $100,000 and
00:42:40.300$250,000. It reportedly generates between $5,000 and $15,000 in annual income. She also owns a
00:42:48.040rental property in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates with the same reported value and income
00:42:53.840range. In Michigan, the couple jointly owns an Ann Arbor rental property valued between $250,000
00:43:00.520and $500,000. Failed to disclose these until after the Senate primary, claiming the process
00:43:07.180was too complicated because his wife owns the family's assets overseas. However, I say voters
00:43:13.700deserve this information before casting their votes, as El Sayed has claimed to be a man of the
00:43:18.500people while just being, in fact, just another limousine liberal. His Democrat primary opponent,
00:43:24.660Congresswoman Haley Stevens, largely backed by the establishment, accused El Sayed of being a
00:43:29.800millionaire and demanding greater transparency. This episode highlights a familiar pattern
00:43:35.440of a far-left politician railing against wealth and inequality while benefiting from a substantial
00:43:41.360international property portfolio and not telling the voters.
00:43:46.140The bigger issue here is transparency.
00:43:48.460Michigan voters had every right to know these assets before the primary,
