00:01:52.000It is so good, my friends, that as we are out here in Las Vegas, I brought a bunch of their single-use packets because I swear by this stuff, I absolutely love it.
00:02:57.000You get access to a team of health bill negotiators, low-cost prescription and lab testing tools, as well as a database of low-cost, high-quality doctors vetted by CrowdHealth.
00:05:39.000So we're going to start off with from the New York Post, Dan Bongino to leave the FBI deputy director job with rumored replacement waiting in the wings.
00:05:50.000FBI Director Dan Bongino will resign his position with less than a year on the job after reportedly packing up his belongings and bidding adieu to his team.
00:05:58.000I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January, Bongino announced on social media Wednesday night.
00:06:04.000I want to thank President Trump, A.G. Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose.
00:06:09.000Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you.
00:06:14.000God bless America and all those who defend her.
00:06:16.000The announcement caps a day of speculation on when Bongino would leave, with four sources telling the Post that Bongino's departure was expected soon.
00:06:26.000So I actually made a remark about this last night.
00:06:28.000I didn't think he was going to do it, but I got that one wrong.
00:07:26.000It's the same reason why he didn't want to release his tax returns.
00:07:29.000It's the same reason why they're not releasing his medical records from the MRI.
00:07:32.000The reason why he doesn't want to talk about this stuff or release it publicly is because he has something to hide.
00:07:39.000Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07:42.000They're seen all over the place hanging out with each other.
00:07:46.000We know that he was on the Epstein flight log at least seven times.
00:07:48.000And then Jack Bosobic and others, to no fault of their own, by the way, were holding these binders up because of Pam Bondi, who claimed that it was on her desk.
00:07:58.000I believe Dan Bongino knows the truth.
00:08:01.000So would you, well, before we do, would you want to venture a guess as to what it is that's in there that you think Donald Trump is hiding?
00:08:07.000I don't know if he broke the law, but certainly he's in the Epstein files.
00:08:13.000Well, I am passionate about young children that get raped.
00:08:16.000So then you're implying that Donald Trump did not.
00:08:19.000What I am implying is that Donald Trump is all over the Epstein files, and so many of his supporters were talking about the rich elitists in Hollywood and all the lefty pedophiles.
00:08:29.000If Bill Clinton is in there, that's totally fine.
00:08:31.000But the difference between Republicans and Democrats, many of them today, is most Democrats say, hey, if Bill Clinton's in there, if they're Democrats in there, fine.
00:09:08.000So you don't think that the Biden administration would have taken a look at these and said something if there was something in there when they were in the middle of the day?
00:09:33.000So you don't think that if there was something that Donald Trump had done that was illegal, you don't think they would have put it out?
00:09:38.000I think there is certainly a possibility, and I don't know this to be true or not, that maybe they were protecting lefties that are in there as well.
00:12:35.000I think that Donald Trump, honestly, I think that he's probably trying to protect himself because his name is in the ⁇ but I'm not emotive about it because I don't think that he's done anything illegal.
00:12:47.000What do you guys, you talked about Bongino earlier?
00:12:48.000I think, and you mentioned Trump's kind of administration choices had campaigned or talked about the Epstein as part of their messaging.
00:13:00.000You mentioned how angry his audience has become, and I think you're right because he's been in the government with like this gag system.
00:13:06.000Do you remember he wouldn't go to work?
00:13:07.000Do you remember that day, you guys, when he took a day off and apparently him, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel got into it, and then he didn't show up the next day?
00:13:26.000If he wasn't in the files, Kash Patel would have answered that question.
00:13:29.000It doesn't take a smart person to realize that he didn't want to answer it because the answer is yes.
00:13:34.000So this being in the files might make him more of a hero if he turned on Epstein and aided the FBI and it would uncover a bunch of other FBI like undercover that are breaking child packages.
00:13:43.000And also the question about what is in the files, there's a lot of people that have different ideas about what the Epstein files even are.
00:13:52.000So if there's the question about what is it just the plane logs?
00:13:56.000Because obviously everyone knows Donald Trump was in that, right?
00:14:34.000And I'll tell you some people that were – Well, no, if you're saying that that's not against the law and then you're saying that it's at another level, you're implying that he's broken the law.
00:14:46.000But yet you're continuing to imply that he has.
00:14:48.000I'm implying that he has a lot to hide, and this would make him look very bad because he was a very good friend and probably did some awful things.
00:14:54.000Now, awful doesn't necessarily mean, awful doesn't necessarily mean breaking the law, but the way they've treated Maxwell, the fact that if any of his supporters even bring it up, he calls them stupid because he knows this makes them look bad.
00:16:19.000If you could name me someone who's been sentenced to 20 years for child sex trafficking, who is allowed a dog, who gets food deliveries to her, and is allowed security to work out anytime she wants, guests are getting snacks.
00:16:32.000If you could name me someone that has been sentenced to 20 years for the crimes that she was found guilty of, then I'm all open ears.
00:16:38.000But this is unprecedented, and there's a reason why the Trump administration is doing this again because Donald Trump is hiding something.
00:16:45.000But the reason why we're saying this is unprecedented because we can't name any of it, because this is the highest profile sex crime case in American history.
00:16:52.000And that's why it's like, okay, yeah, when you're that high profile, there's going to be a different way of handling things in the prison system.
00:16:57.000And then also, the DOJ, you're cooperating with the DOJ.
00:17:59.000Someone that has pled, regardless of what your opinions are on Donald Trump or not, I think we all could agree.
00:18:03.000If you've done the crimes that Maxwell's done, she doesn't deserve this kind of preferential treatment.
00:18:08.000And by the way, any of the people in that jail who have ever, who are talked to her even, or have said anything negative about her, they get enormous penalties for that.
00:18:51.000If he wanted to release the files tomorrow, without a court order, without Congress, without any politician, he has the power to do so with redacting all the victims' names.
00:19:02.000He can do that tomorrow if he wants to.
00:19:03.000But hasn't the release been prevented by a judge?
00:19:09.000So if you remember, Pam Bondi a few weeks back said that she was opening up a new investigation.
00:19:15.000Legally, the only way that the Trump administration cannot release the files, 100% of the files, is because of that convenient investigation that was just opened several weeks ago.
00:19:26.000But yes, Donald Trump does have the power in general to do so, to release all the files.
00:20:51.000Bongino was asked about the Epstein files, and I believe he was asked specifically about some other conspiracy theories that he used to bring up on his podcast.
00:21:09.000But back then, I was getting paid for my opinions.
00:21:13.000So what that means to me is I was getting paid to spew conspiracy theories with no factual basis behind it, whether it be about the Epstein files.
00:21:22.000There was a lot of, he talked about January 6th a lot.
00:21:24.000He talked about, what about the bomber?
00:21:29.000And he talked about how it was a lefty liberal and it was Antitho.
00:21:32.000And this was the guy who's already told the FBI that a big part or reason why he was there is because he believed that the election was stolen.
00:21:40.000Geez, I wonder where he got that from.
00:21:42.000Where did he get that information from?
00:21:45.000Just saying that his, like, he was getting paid for his ideas before, and now he's not because he's in the government, doesn't mean that his ideas necessarily were all conspiracy.
00:21:55.000Like he had a few, he might have said a few things that without maybe vetted evidence or maybe some things that turned out that the evidence wasn't true or maybe without evidence.
00:23:10.000Well, conspiracy theory could be true.
00:23:12.000In regards to Jeffrey Epstein, so in regards to Jeffrey Epstein, whether he killed himself or not, the truth of the matter is that I really don't know.
00:23:20.000Do you think that Bongino knows and is telling the truth about the Epstein murder?
00:24:06.000When I was interviewing Jeffrey Epstein's brother, he had a parole date, I think, a few days later.
00:24:12.000We all know that Jeffrey Epstein had boatloads of money.
00:24:14.000Now, I'm not saying he would have gotten, you know, gotten out on, not parole, I'm using the wrong verbiage here, but he had a hearing where maybe he could be on house arrest or something.
00:24:25.000Why would he have killed himself a few days before that hearing?
00:24:27.000His brother made that point, which I find to be very interesting.
00:24:30.000And again, a minute of the video is missing as well.
00:24:34.000So I do think that's a little strange as well.
00:26:37.000I mean, he's and just because something is a conspiracy theory doesn't mean that it's not true.
00:26:41.000And just because you haven't found the evidence to prove it doesn't mean it's not true, just that you don't have, it's an unproven theory.
00:26:48.000Well, the 2020 election is unproven, but he still thinks that Donald Trump he could.
00:26:53.000Last thing I'll say about Dan, I think earlier I said his audience is angry with him because he's been shut up up there, but I think he wants to come back and please, he wants to show the truth to his audience in a way that he can't do when he's in the government.
00:27:04.000And to Tate's point, this is something that we talked about on the show.
00:27:07.000There is a narrow group of people that feel very strongly about this, right?
00:27:34.000So for most Americans, that's actually not something they worry about.
00:27:38.000People that don't have health care, health insurance, obviously they do.
00:27:41.000But that's not neither here nor there.
00:27:43.000The fact of the matter is, Donald Trump, when he's talking, like Tate was saying, when he's talking about people that, you know, when he insults the people that are bringing up Epstein, he is actually insulting a narrow, committed, and very animated group of people.
00:27:57.000There are still a lot of Republicans that are very disappointed in Donald Trump because the Epstein files have not been released.
00:28:04.000There are a lot of people that are not.
00:28:04.000Again, this is honestly a lot of people that are very animated, but it's not a lot when you consider how many people voted for Donald Trump and how many people actually support the president.
00:28:47.000Listen, you guys are going to disagree with what I'm about to say, and it might be a little controversial, but I believe Donald Trump could sodomize a child on video and a portion of his base would still support him.
00:30:08.000You've moved the goal push, you're saying name one president, and we name like three, and then you're like, well, what about like how we handled Reiner?
00:30:41.000It was in, and you're comparing a page in a diary where his daughter allegedly said borderline inappropriate.
00:30:49.000It is not borderline inappropriate to digitally use your fingers in a dressing room the way Donald Trump did, and a jury of his peers found that he penetrated her, and the judge characterized it as a.
00:31:01.000You're splitting here because we're talking about Bill Clinton, who's alleged to actually have raped someone, who's done.
00:31:06.000But you mentioned Joe Biden, and I think morally, you're comparing.
00:31:10.000No, the point that we're making is it is not as if Donald Trump is some uniquely bad president or morally compromised person as opposed to other presidents in the past.
00:31:22.000I want to make a confirmation about leadership because I think Trump has like a, maybe, maybe arguably has a lower leadership score as a character because he's causing so much division in society than Bill Clinton.
00:31:33.000But that doesn't mean he hasn't done better things as a leader.
00:31:35.000Even with the lower score, you can accomplish greater stuff.
00:31:38.000Can you name me a former president that's ever attacked a POW for being captured?
00:31:43.000Again, this is just like, what about is it?
00:32:59.000And I've been saying on the show that it is a bad idea to underestimate AOC, whether or not you agree with her, whether or not you like her, I don't think that there's any of her policies that I personally agree with.
00:33:11.000But I do think that she's a skilled politician.
00:33:13.000I think that she wouldn't be in the situation that she's in now, basically being the face of the party right now, right?
00:34:20.000This is a separate rep, I think that she's extremely dangerous, and I think that she, I know that Tim disagrees, and there's a lot of people that disagree with me, but I think she is very dangerous, and I think that she could absolutely win.
00:36:52.000She didn't win any of the primaries when she was running.
00:36:55.000She was out before she got to her home state because if she'd have gone in California, she'd have lost and her political career would have been over.
00:37:02.000Okay, well, sadly, there are people out there that vote on charisma.
00:38:27.000I'm pretty moderate when it comes to some policies, but I'm very much to the left when it comes to social issues, and I'm not afraid of that.
00:38:35.000I voted for eight Republicans in the midterms.
00:39:42.000The reason why I brought up Pete Butige is: yes, I think there is a percentage of people in this country that would not vote for him because he's gay.
00:39:50.000I think Pete Buttigieg would be a good candidate, but we have to look at the Democrat Party have to look at the reality of the situation here.
00:40:02.000And I'm wondering what you guys think about JD Vance, obviously the frontrunner for the Republican Party, but who do you think would make a great VP for J.D.?
00:40:07.000Marco Rubio wants the job, and I think he's going to get it.
00:40:10.000I think that's the main reason why he took this position.
00:40:12.000And I think it will be JD Vance and Marco Rubio.
00:40:15.000And I absolutely believe that it's going to be Gavin Newsome.
00:40:18.000Whether he picks AOC or not, I'm not sure.
00:40:20.000I think that would be a very intelligent move to make.
00:40:22.000So your politics where you supported John McCain, tactically in a way, supported Mitt Romney, didn't want to vote for Obama.
00:40:32.000And then you've had some hang-ups with Biden, Kamala, et cetera.
00:42:20.000Right, but less than half the people that went to the voter booth did not vote for Donald Trump.
00:42:24.000He did win the popular vote, but there's a lot of people that are very unhappy.
00:42:27.000There's a lot of people that thought this was America first agenda.
00:42:30.000When you bail out other countries in the way he has, and you invite former al-Qaeda leaders to the White House, and you do business with Qatar, and you do business with the Prince, and you invite him to the White House, this is not an America-first agenda.
00:42:42.000When you say 600,000 Chinese people should be coming to this country because we don't have enough talented people here, a lot of people were very pissed off at some of those things.
00:42:53.000So are you saying that there should be a more America-first agenda?
00:42:56.000Or are you just pointing out things that other people are doing?
00:42:59.000I'm saying why his numbers are so low and why so many of his supporters I think are jumping ships.
00:43:03.000Well, I understand the criticisms of Trump from the right.
00:43:05.000I'm asking you what specifically about the system as it stands.
00:43:09.000Can you not understand why people are supporting Donald Trump?
00:43:11.000Why people are supporting your Bernie system?
00:43:12.000When you say system, be specific and give me something that the Democrats have put forth that you disagree with in regards to the system so I could be specific and give it this post-war consensus, this sort of liberalism as it stands is fundamentally failing.
00:43:24.000People are seeing the suicide rate skyrocket.
00:43:26.000You're seeing depression numbers through the roof, substance abuse through the roof.
00:43:29.000So you're blaming the suicide numbers for what?
00:43:32.000I mean, I could talk about gun control and I can talk to you how easy it is for people to get their hands on guns.
00:43:58.000All I'm saying is which party, after a mass shooting, talks about how we need to help mentally ill and which party is actually financially wanting to back up.
00:44:07.000We have enough government programs to try and plug holes in this, but the reality is the system as it stands is robbing people of purpose.
00:44:14.000Well, I think you'd have to be specific again and give me some policies, and then I might agree with you.
00:44:43.000Any book that you want to get, any book that a liberal or some progressive or someone on the left wants to get, they can buy right from Amazon.
00:44:53.000You're talking about you have a problem with the way that the left or with the way that the right curates books that are in public libraries.
00:45:00.000What I will say is the Republicans talk about these books a lot.
00:45:39.000But I feel like MAGA Republicans particularly care more about drag queens, and they make it sound like drag queens are more of a threat to children in this country than all the gun violence we have.
00:45:51.000And I think that is, I'm very passionate about that.
00:45:54.000I grew up right down the road from Sandy Hook in Connecticut.
00:45:58.000And, you know, have you ever seen a Democrat on a campaign ad brag about their A-plus rating from the NRA?
00:46:11.000But this is dancing around the main sort of point I'm trying to get to is drag queens as they exist are downstream from what is the issue fundamentally is people in the United States and the West broadly have been robbed of their identity.
00:48:05.000It's about being transgender, which means that you think you're not in the right body, which is like a dysmorphic thing that can happen to kids if they don't.
00:48:11.000Why do we want to get involved in that?
00:48:12.000Why not let them listen to professionals?
00:48:14.000Because there's a massive incentive structure bending towards it.
00:48:59.000Well, I think in this society, if you are gay or if you are transgender, I think that group of people are discriminated a lot more against than people that are like us.
00:49:21.000Well, it's discriminated in hiring, in college admissions.
00:49:26.000If you look at the number of young white people.
00:49:28.000So you're talking about affirmative action.
00:49:30.000Is that what you're referring to when it comes to college admissions?
00:49:32.000I'm talking about, particularly in the workplace, but workplaces are saying we need to focus on diversity, and we're not going to hire white men.
00:49:40.000So you think that's what we even saw with the last election where Biden's like, I'm going to pick a female.
00:49:44.000So let me ask you guys a question then.
00:49:45.000In society right now, would you rather be a white male or would you rather be a gay black male?
00:50:04.000I think they're under a lot of stress.
00:50:05.000Well, because they're under stress because it's not a, it's a corrosive, it's a sort of state of being that is corrosive to the soul in many ways.
00:50:12.000Why is being gay corrosive to the system?
00:50:15.000I don't want to conflate gay and transgender.
00:50:17.000Well, but hold on, this is important, though.
00:50:19.000Because having a children's money is a lot of people.
00:50:19.000Why would you being married in a happy marriage with a woman and having children is naturally beneficial to the soul?
00:50:25.000So your opinion, which is fine, I respect your opinion.
00:50:28.000If you think naturally marrying a woman and having kids is better for your soul, that's fine.
00:50:35.000But not everybody thinks like you, and everybody is different.
00:50:38.000Most people that are gay, including George Santos, who happens to be a friend of mine, told me he knew he was gay when he was five years old.
00:51:03.000The substance abuse rate is far higher.
00:51:05.000Did you ever think that maybe the suicide rate is more higher because of the way people treat them in society?
00:51:09.000Well, and getting glossy advertisements and getting put on the cover of every fashion magazine?
00:51:14.000I mean, I would have bought this argument in like the 60s.
00:51:16.000No, maybe being hazed when you were a kid and maybe people like you telling people that you're corrosive, even though it's not your choice.
00:53:01.000The argument that he was making is that part of the reason why people are depressed or part of the reason why there's such depression and stuff is because it's corrosive to their soul, not because they are corrosive to themselves or to others.
00:53:12.000And likewise, that's why you're seeing like right now with like this incel thing that's happening.
00:53:16.000Again, that is a behavior, not having companionship is corrosive to your soul.
00:53:20.000If you hate women, that's going to be corrosive to your soul.
00:53:22.000Anything that is outside of this natural order is going to cause you grief.
00:53:26.000Like I don't, I think even gay people would agree with me as they would say, yeah, not being able to have like this, you know, sort of traditional marriage, not being able to procreate.
00:55:12.000And that it would be nice if the incentive structures in the United States and the West largely would bend towards objective truth.
00:55:18.000You know, I don't think being, let me let you get this in, Ryan, but let me say this for a second.
00:55:21.000I don't think being gay is corrosive to the soul so much as getting it on with too many people.
00:55:26.000And maybe guys, because they're testosterone, get it on more than girls.
00:55:30.000And two gay dudes might get it on the ground.
00:55:31.000No, I think is the reason why part of the reason why the multiple partners has such a promiscuous thing about it is because there isn't the mediating factor of women, right?
00:57:11.000And I don't think their sexuality has anything to do with it.
00:57:13.000The original question is, do the parents, sorry, do children have a right to a father and a mother for the same reason that it's like, yes, it's a tragedy for the child when they are raised in like a single-parent household.
00:58:32.000And I would want that for every child.
00:58:33.000All I can tell you is that there are kids out there that grow up to be pretty awesome people, and they have two fathers and two mothers.
00:58:39.000And, you know, I guess it goes back to the original argument that I was trying to make is that I don't want to interfere in other people's lives.
00:59:59.000So for trying to achieve the best possible sort of flourishment for human beings, guardrails are important because people, when left to their own devices, it's very rare that someone's going to make the best possible decision.
01:00:10.000That's why the United States government.
01:00:11.000That's why I like hard drugs are illegal because unfortunately, when people get addicted to heroin, they can't help but get more heroin.
01:00:28.000Well, first of all, we're talking about sex and we're talking about sex and what they do in the bedroom.
01:00:37.000I was not referring to doing drugs, which can kill you.
01:00:41.000That's a lot of poor outcome for your life.
01:00:42.000Those are two completely different things.
01:00:44.000So in one instance, you are advocating for the government to intervene when the outcome of someone's life is threatened.
01:00:49.000But in the realm of sexuality, it's completely irrelevant.
01:00:52.000Yeah, because when two men or two women are having sex, I would never compare that to somebody that's taking heroin.
01:00:57.000But if you can say that those are two different things.
01:01:00.000If it's like, okay, the argument generally from the right that I've discerned over the last few years is that you have to protect children from devious parents, people that would sexually abuse their children or whatever.
01:01:10.000So if people are getting sexualized imagery and metaphors and ideas into like eight-year-olds and seven to six-year-olds, of course that's wrong.
01:01:17.000And they're concerned that just by bringing up transgender, you are bringing up sexuality to a six-year-old that it's yeah.
01:01:24.000And for the TV to do it, a corporation to have commercials about it, it's like, homie, that's the argument.
01:01:31.000I have a hard time refuting it because I think we need censorship.
01:01:42.000Well, again, because censorship is something that comes into place when you are trying to guide specifically children towards the best possible outcome.
01:01:50.000Well, it's parenting, but the state has, because the parents can't be in control of everything.
01:01:53.000Yeah, I don't believe of the 300,000 teachers that are in this country that there's a lot of teachers out there that are telling eight and nine-year-olds that they should be transgender or you should or that.
01:02:02.000So you've said that the only reason that we're seeing LGBT identification double issues.
01:02:08.000Didn't you say it was the only reason?
01:02:10.000Yeah, I didn't say it was the only reason, but I can tell you that I know, well, I can tell you that a lot of people that I know that happen to be gay have told me that they felt very uncomfortable to come out 10, 15, 20 years ago, and they do feel more comfortable to come out now.
01:02:37.00011 months ago, I inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it.
01:02:42.000When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans.
01:02:57.000This happened during a Democrat administration, and it's when we first began hearing the word affordability.
01:03:05.000Our border was open, and because of this, our country was being invaded by an army of 25 million people, many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums.
01:03:19.000They were drug dealers, gang members, and even 11,888 murderers, more than 50% of whom killed more than one person.
01:03:30.000This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and it can never be allowed to happen again.
01:03:38.000We had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, crime at record levels with law enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden.
01:03:51.000We had the worst trade deals ever made, and our country was laughed at from all over the world.
01:04:14.000I was elected in a landslide winning the popular vote and all seven swing states and everything else with a mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that really just took the wealth from people and crushed the dreams of the American people.
01:04:34.000For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all, foreign nations, which took advantage of us at levels never seen before.
01:04:52.000They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens.
01:04:56.000They decimated your hard-earned savings.
01:04:59.000They indoctrinated your children with hate for America.
01:05:03.000Really, I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen to prey on innocent.
01:05:14.000They caused a horrible situation all over the globe.
01:05:18.000But now you have a president who fights for the law-abiding, hard-working people of our country, the ones who make this nation run, who make this nation work.
01:05:29.000And after just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined.
01:05:34.000Starting on day one, I took immediate action to stop the invasion of our southern border.
01:05:39.000For the past seven months, zero illegal aliens have been allowed into our country, a feat which everyone said was absolutely impossible.
01:05:48.000Do you remember when Joe Biden said that he needed Congress to pass legislation to help close the border?
01:05:55.000He was always blaming Congress and everyone else.
01:05:58.000As it turned out, we didn't need legislation.
01:06:25.000It's at levels of safety that we've never seen before.
01:06:30.000And they decimated the bloodthirsty foreign drug cartels.
01:06:34.000We did that all by ourselves with our people, and we're so proud of it because they were poisoning and destroying our population.
01:06:43.000Drugs brought in by ocean and by sea are now down 94%.
01:06:50.000We have broken the grip of sinister woke radicals in our schools, and control over those schools is back now in the hands of our great and loving states where education belongs.
01:07:03.000After rebuilding the United States military in my first term, and with the addition we are adding right now, we have the most powerful military anywhere in the world, and it's not even close.
01:07:17.000I've restored American strength, settled eight wars in 10 months, destroyed the Iran nuclear threat, and ended the war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in 3,000 years peace to the Middle East and secured the release of the hostages, both living and dead.
01:07:36.000Here at home, we're bringing our economy back from the brink of ruin.
01:07:40.000The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our Treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything at levels never seen before.
01:07:50.000I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast.
01:09:35.000Very importantly, there are more people working today than at any time in American history, and 100% of all jobs created since I took office have been in the private sector.
01:10:01.000Already, I've secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings, and far greater national security.
01:10:15.000Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs.
01:10:20.000My favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore.
01:10:29.000Companies know that if they build in America, there are no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home to the USA in record numbers.
01:10:37.000They're building factories and plants at levels we haven't seen, AI, automobiles.
01:10:43.000We're doing what nobody thought was even possible, not even remotely possible.
01:10:48.000There has never, frankly, been anything like it.
01:10:56.000Our country was ready to fail, totally failed.
01:11:00.000Now, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
01:11:04.000And that's said by every single leader that I've spoken to over the last five months.
01:11:09.000Next year, you will also see the results of the largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished through our great, big, beautiful bill, perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress.
01:11:24.000We wrapped 12 different bills up into one beautiful bill.
01:11:28.000That includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
01:11:37.000Under these cuts, many families will be saving between $11,000 and $20,000 a year, and next spring is projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time.
01:11:50.000Because of tariffs, along with the just-passed one big, beautiful bill, tonight I am also proud to announce that more than 1,450,000, think of this, 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special, we call, warrior dividend before Christmas, a warrior dividend.
01:12:15.000In honor of our nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776.
01:12:56.000In addition, I'm doing what no politician of either party has ever done, standing up to the special interest to dramatically reduce the price of prescription drugs.
01:13:06.000I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations, which were taking advantage of our country for many decades, to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500, and even 600 percent.
01:13:23.000In other words, your drug costs will be plummeting downward.
01:13:26.000And I use the threat of tariffs to get foreign countries who would never have done it to pay the cost of this giant dollar reduction.
01:13:54.000And no president has ever had the courage or ability to get this done until now.
01:13:59.000The first of these unprecedented price reductions will be available starting in January through a new website, trumprx.gov.
01:14:08.000And these big price cuts will greatly reduce the cost of health care.
01:14:12.000I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that should go directly to the people.
01:14:56.000It's the Unaffordable Care Act, and everybody knew it.
01:15:00.000Again, I want the money to go directly to the people so you can buy your own health care.
01:15:04.000You'll get much better health care at a much lower price.
01:15:08.000The only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten rich and the Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies.
01:15:16.000They will not be happy, but that's okay with me because you, the people, are finally going to be getting great health care at a lower cost.
01:15:24.000Another major focus is the cost of energy.
01:15:28.000For years, the radical left Democrats exploited the green energy scam as an excuse to funnel many billions of dollars into their own massive slush funds as their energy restrictions drastically drove up prices and they drove them up at record levels.
01:15:45.000Electricity costs surged 30 to 100 percent under Biden, and the typical family lost $5,000 to $10,000 in higher energy costs.
01:15:55.000Think of that $5,000 to $10,000 you lost.
01:15:59.000On day one, I declared a national energy emergency.
01:16:03.000Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country.
01:16:08.000In some states, it, by the way, just hit $1.99 a gallon.
01:16:14.000And within the next 12 months, we will have opened 1,600 new electrical generating plants, a record, and it's a record that won't be beaten by practically, I would say by anybody, or certainly not very soon.
01:16:28.000Prices on electricity and everything else will fall dramatically.
01:16:32.000The Democrat inflation disaster, again, the worst in the history of our country, also robbed millions of Americans of home ownership and indeed the American dream.
01:16:43.000The yearly cost of a typical new mortgage increased by $15,000 under Democrat rule.
01:16:51.000In 11 months, we've already gotten that annual cost down by $3,000, and it's coming down a lot lower.
01:17:01.000And I'll soon announce our next chairman of the Federal Reserve, someone who believes in lower interest rates by a lot, and mortgage payments will be coming down even further.
01:17:12.000Early the new year, and you will see this.
01:17:15.000In the new year, I will announce some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history.
01:17:22.000A major factor in driving up housing costs was the colossal border invasion.
01:17:29.000This is the worst thing that, frankly, in my opinion, the worst thing that the Biden administration did to our country is the invasion at the border.
01:17:40.000The last administration and their allies in Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave them taxpayer-funded housing, while your rent and housing costs skyrocketed.
01:17:51.000Over 60% of growth in the rental market came from foreign migrants.
01:17:56.000At the same time, illegal aliens stole American jobs and flooded emergency rooms, getting free health care and education paid for by you, the American taxpayer.
01:18:06.000They also increased the cost of law enforcement by numbers so high that they are not even to be mentioned.
01:18:13.000For the first time in 50 years, we are now seeing reverse migration as migrants go back home, leaving more housing and more jobs for Americans.
01:18:23.000In the year before my election, all net creation of jobs was going to foreign migrants.
01:18:30.000Since I took office, 100% of all net job creation has gone to American-born citizens.
01:18:41.000In the end, government either serves the productive, patriotic, hardworking American citizen or it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system, and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.
01:18:56.000Look at Minnesota, where Somalians have taken over the economics of the state and have stolen billions and billions of dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States of America.
01:19:09.000For so long as before my election, the vast majority of good and decent Americans were forced to watch as corrupt politicians plundered the halls of power, exploited our taxpayers, and pillaged every system that makes civilized society function.
01:19:49.000And our country is back stronger than ever before.
01:19:54.000We're poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen.
01:19:59.000Soon we will host the World Cup and the Olympics, both of which I got.
01:20:04.000But most importantly, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
01:20:11.000There could be no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago.
01:20:22.000When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its workers, confident to its identity, certain to its destiny, and the envy of the entire globe.
01:20:37.000We are respected again like we have never been respected before.
01:20:42.000To each and every one of you, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
01:21:07.000I actually kind of agree with it personally, the warrior dividend, $1,776.76 or something like that.
01:21:14.000I think that the reason he's doing it is because he's paying them from the tariffs that we've created.
01:21:18.000And the reason our tariffs are effective is because of our military force, the threat of our military force.
01:21:23.000The military has a lot to do with that.
01:21:25.000A lot of our way of life lies on the backs of those people.
01:21:28.000So especially the way that some of them had to resign through the COVID, whatever you want to call it, experience because they weren't getting vaccinated.
01:21:36.000They refused and they'd be discharged.
01:23:10.000But when you say there is peace in the Middle East and when Israel breaks a ceasefire and Hamas breaks a ceasefire, that is not my definition of peace.
01:23:32.000Somebody says there's peace in the Middle East.
01:23:34.000Again, if you're talking about Hamas killing Palestinians, that's not war.
01:23:39.000That's Hamas killing Palestinians because that's essentially the governing body because they've been elected in Gaza, but that's Hamas killing their own people.
01:23:49.000My definition of peace in the Middle East would be not breaking a ceasefire, which Israel and Hamas did.
01:23:55.000There is not peace in Gaza, like he said.
01:23:57.000He also said we're giving all these tax cuts, the biggest in American history.
01:24:01.000Well, he mentioned the big and beautiful bill, and I mentioned $100 billion in tax cuts this year to the top 1%.
01:24:07.000And he also said checks are on the way.
01:25:02.000Well, generally, the president doesn't actually come out and say, oh, here's the details of the plan when he makes an announcement like that.
01:25:07.000Well, he did say that in his first administration.
01:25:09.000Remember when he said the plan is coming in a month?
01:25:15.000There have been multiple presidents that would announce a program and then they wouldn't get into the details.
01:25:19.000Right, but they're that's pretty standard fair for him.
01:25:22.000I don't think it's standard for a president to bitch and complain about a policy put forth by the Democrats in Obamacare and then not have a replacement plan in nine years.
01:25:28.000That is not a serious policymaker, and we all know that.
01:25:31.000The country is stronger than it's ever been before, he said.
01:25:36.000Okay, according to the military, maybe, but according to the parameters of where the economy is at and many other factors.
01:25:42.000But he was talking about it in the context of the military.
01:25:44.000Okay, well, I would also argue that there's a lot of people within the military and a lot of people that feel like they've committed war crimes with these boats that we can get into.
01:25:52.000That's not talking about whether or not the military is strong.
01:25:54.000And you're the one that's saying that this is strong.
01:25:56.000The military is stronger than it's ever been.
01:25:58.000He said the country is stronger than it's ever been.
01:26:00.000So when I hear a president say the country is stronger than it's ever been, I don't think he's just referring to our military.
01:26:05.000He's referring to the definition of the word strong.
01:26:08.000If we're going to break this one open, it would be like, what did he mean?
01:26:58.000Specifically, right there, I was talking about how he picks apart a few states here and there and says the average price in these states is $2.50.
01:27:05.000And the point that I'm trying to make is, okay.
01:27:06.000If you want to give the national average out and take credit for that, fine.
01:27:09.000even though I would argue that I don't think any president controls the gas prices.
01:27:13.000In fact, during Joe Biden's administration...
01:27:15.000If he doesn't control the gas prices, then why are you bringing it up?
01:27:17.000I'm bringing it up because he likes to pick apart certain states in the country where gas is $2.50, which I think is very difficult.
01:28:27.000Yeah, so I mean, do you think they're just going to live at the ER?
01:28:30.000Do I think they're going to constantly?
01:28:32.000Do I think they're going to just hear because they're not going to be able to do that?
01:28:33.000I didn't say they're going to live at the ER, but what I did say is a lot of these people are going to get sick that desperately need their health care coverage.
01:28:40.000And the American taxpayer is the one that's going to pay for it when they don't have health care.
01:28:43.000The American taxpayer already pays for anyone that goes to the ER that doesn't have health care.
01:28:47.000I understand that, but when 20 million Americans are on Medicaid right now, many of those Americans are going to get sick.
01:28:53.000They're not going to be able to afford their medications.
01:28:55.000They're not going to be on health care coverage.
01:28:57.000And the American taxpayer is the one that's going to have to pay for it.
01:29:00.000That's why American taxpayers paying for Medicare.
01:29:04.000And this is also why this speech was directionally correct, because the main thing he was hitting on was the success of the tariffs and the success of his immigration policy, his deportation policy.
01:29:16.000And a good way to free up resources, obviously, with emergency rooms is by removing people from the country that shouldn't have access to those.
01:29:23.000So do you think if you're an undocumented immigrant in this country and you're deathly ill that we shouldn't help you in the ER?
01:30:01.000I think there should be a pathway to citizenship, especially for those that are nonviolent criminals that have lived here for decades and pay taxes.
01:30:10.000But, you know, going back to the Medicare stuff, yeah.
01:30:13.000But either, but like you said, either way, the American people are going to pay for it either, whether they're paying for Medicare or they're paying for them going to the emergency room.
01:30:20.000The American people are paying for it.
01:32:32.000The Democrats created the ACA in totality.
01:32:35.000The price of health care has done nothing but skyrocket since the ACA.
01:32:39.000And this is not the fault of the Republicans.
01:32:41.000This is something that the Democrats own.
01:32:43.000I believe it's the responsibility of the Republicans when you complain about policy and you are a policymaker to come up with some ideas or solutions.
01:32:50.000It is the fault of the people that actually passed the bill.
01:32:58.000I don't like when people get chronically ill from eating toxic foods or like sugar, and then they go and they're like, now I have to pay tax money for them to get like ibuprofen or something when they could just be eating broccoli.
01:33:11.000And so I don't want to pay for chronic health care.
01:35:09.000Do you think it was a Republican shutdown?
01:35:10.000I think there's a lot of blame to foot for what took place.
01:35:14.000I am very disappointed in the business.
01:35:14.000It was the Democrats that wouldn't vote for the bill.
01:35:17.000I am very disappointed in the Democrats that voted for the big and beautiful bill, including Catherine Cortez, who actually— The big, beautiful bill was in the summer.
01:35:24.000I'm talking about when they shut the government down.
01:35:27.000But what I am talking about is the fact that there are Democrats that voted, and I believe that those Democrats are traitors as far as I'm concerned.
01:35:36.000If they voted for the bill, you think they should have been.
01:35:39.000They should have kept the government shutdown longer.
01:37:34.000I wish everybody came into this country legally.
01:37:36.000We know that a large sum of people that are in this country are legal are also those that overstayed their visas.
01:37:41.000They're not people that just crossed the border illegally.
01:37:43.000I can also tell you that I think it is despicable that you have ICE agents across the country.
01:37:49.000I've seen the videos of them that are in some cases that are not identifying themselves.
01:37:54.000I also could tell you that they are breaking the law and Christy Noam looked like the fool that she is under oath when I think it was Dan Goldman who asked her, you know, if you are seeking asylum and you filled out the proper paperwork and you're waiting on that, you are not considered an illegal asylum.
01:38:12.000Okay, but they're deporting those people.
01:38:55.000It doesn't matter whether it's 20 million or one.
01:38:57.000When they come to this country and they're seeking asylum from Mexico and they filled out the proper paperwork, it is illegal to deport them.
01:39:35.000I don't want them to be above the law and to do things that are illegal.
01:39:40.000It has been proven that that is exactly what they are doing.
01:39:43.000And it also says in our Constitution, last I checked, it says that not any citizen deserves due process or gets due process.
01:39:53.000Due process does not mean a court hearing.
01:39:56.000But when you are seeking asylum and you filled out the paperwork, these people are being tackled outside of these courtrooms, some of whom are from Mexico.
01:40:04.000Some of whom, but the vast majority, the vast majority are not from Mexico or not from Canada.
01:40:09.000And if you're here and you have asylum paperwork and you are not from Mexico or Canada, you need to go.
01:40:15.000I never said it was the vast majority.
01:40:17.000All I'm saying is I don't want the Trump administration breaking the law.
01:40:39.000And now there is a ton of people here.
01:40:42.000So there are going to be times where the government is wrong, where they make mistakes because of the numbers.
01:40:48.000But the vast majority are not here legally and they need to go.
01:40:52.000Well, this is a fundamental difference that I have with you guys is because obviously crossing the border illegally, being here illegally is a misdemeanor.
01:41:11.000They're not particularly complex when it comes to asylum.
01:41:14.000If you're here from a country anywhere in South America, any other country in the world that's not Mexico or Canada, they need to go.
01:41:21.000Now, I will concede that there are going to be mistakes made because of the number of illegals here, but the idea that we just have to say, well, because they might make mistakes, we can't deport anyone or we can't try to wrap up illegals.
01:41:36.000I never said that's not going to happen.
01:41:37.000But the Trump administration did say that their focus was going to be on those that are violent criminals, which, by the way, I'm totally fine with that.
01:41:54.000What I can tell you is that I don't appreciate the demonizing of many of these people in this country.
01:42:01.000While if they don't have the proper paperwork and they're illegal, I think a lot of these people are decent human beings that want a better life for themselves and their family.
01:42:07.000In a perfect world, I wish everybody was legal.
01:42:09.000Okay, my question, I understand how you feel.
01:42:11.000My question was just a ballpark, probably 10%, maybe?
01:42:17.000Like 30 to 40% of those deported have been violent criminals.
01:42:20.000That's an overrepresentation of the violent criminal proportion of illegal immigrants.
01:42:24.000When I see some of these ICE agents, many of the videos that I've seen are not even identifying themselves, which is, by the way, illegal if we're talking about rule of law, outside of courtrooms, in front of Home Depots, it pains me to see that.
01:42:37.000It also pains me to see the country get completely robbed blind by legal immigrants.
01:42:42.000And again, like to Phil's point, the volume of illegals that are in the country, the volume of deportations that need to occur, it's not always going to be like perfect.
01:44:41.000Dave Bricken says, Brian Shapiro has the nerve to accuse other people of being conspiracy theorists when all he does is spew conspiracy theories.
01:45:47.000I'll tell you who the retard is, and I don't even like using that word.
01:45:50.000Anyone who, first of all, they haven't had a mass shooting like this in 30 years, 800 times more mass shootings in this country than Australia.
01:45:56.000So this idiot has no idea what he's talking about.
01:46:13.000Right, but the idea that someone would talk about gun control, you know, Australia has done a pretty damn good job when it comes to gun control, and it's a horrible tragedy that took place.
01:46:22.000If you're a fan of the Constitution, would you say that we should just go ahead and expropriate people's property so that way they don't own guns anymore?
01:48:01.000Are you saying you should have to have a license to train discharge?
01:48:05.000What I'm saying is if you are going to purchase a weapon in this country, I believe that there should be some sort of mandatory one or two hour class so that they can teach you the basics.
01:48:15.000If I'm in a supermarket or a mall or a casino and there's a situation with someone with a weapon, if I know there's a good Samaritan there with a weapon, I'd like to know that they know how to use the gun.
01:52:18.000I'm pretty sure if someone has a spouse out there and they threatened your life, you probably don't want that person to buy a gun the next day.
01:52:40.000So if you at Ian Cross and make a movie of me doing something, and if it's me saying something that literally could get your rights, our rights are the most cherished aspect of this society.
01:52:49.000I understand that, but I also want consistency with red flag laws.
01:52:52.000And by state by state, there are different rules that apply.
01:52:55.000All I'm simply saying is I want Democrats, and this comes with almost every issue, to be able to compromise.
01:53:03.000What I find despicable is after a mass shooting, and I talked to George Santos about this.
01:53:15.000And it's wrong when Ted Cruz, after the shooting in Texas, says, geez, we should have locked that back door in that school, as if that would be a deterrent for somebody, an 18-year-old who just shot their grandmother in the face, okay?
01:53:27.000As if that would be some sort of deterrent.
01:53:29.000Now, I don't know what all the answers are, but I do want some solutions.
01:54:34.000You know, unfortunately, there are some people on the left and the right that are not willing to have these conversations, and they don't want debate, and they don't want disagreement.
01:55:02.000VT Idaho says, as per Timcast IRL tradition, my rock star wife Maddie and I welcomed our first child, Lincoln Tyler Townsend, to the world.
01:55:12.000Little Lieutenant born 12, 12, 20, 25 at 3.
01:56:34.000So if there's nothing, then why won't he release the files?
01:56:37.000Well, I mean, if there's nothing, then why is Maxwell being treated the way she is?
01:56:41.000If there's nothing, then why did Epstein on tape say that Donald Trump was once his best friend?
01:56:46.000Why was Epstein taking young girls from Mar-a-Lago?
01:56:50.000And apparently Donald Trump even admitted that and said, yeah, that's why our friendship ended.
01:56:54.000So if anyone out there is complicit enough like that fool to say that there's nothing there, you know, it's a nothing burger.
01:57:03.000If all of the evidence says that he didn't do anything and all testimony said that he didn't testimony, Donald Trump never testified under oath.
01:58:09.000No, I never said Donald Trump Red Kids.
01:58:11.000What I am saying is that I guarantee you there are names in there that have raped children, and that needs to get you need to give justice to the victims.
01:58:17.000I never said Donald Trump raped anybody.
01:58:18.000Now, he is a liable sexual abuser, but I never said he raped a child.
01:58:23.000What I am saying is, release the files.
01:58:24.000I want people brought to justice for the victims.
01:58:27.000That doesn't mean Donald Trump raped anybody, but I want justice.
01:58:31.000Well, on the surface, it looks good, but there might be other things behind the scenes that we don't understand about global order and how things can be.
01:58:38.000Well, I don't care about global order.
01:58:58.000I'm shocked that somebody would use homophobic slurs.
01:59:02.000Sir, if my fetish was for a middle-aged white dude who's a big Tim Pool supporter, which, by the way, I don't have a problem with, if my fetish was somebody like you, sir, who's probably sitting there with your chips and probably suffer from Trump fellatio syndrome, then maybe I would go out with you, sir.
01:59:16.000But I'm not a Trump mushroom gobbler like you.
01:59:18.000So go back to your gobbling and have a nice day.
01:59:21.000You wish I was into somebody like you.
01:59:23.000You probably pleasure yourself to me every night before you go to sleep.
01:59:26.000Methos671 says I'd rather listen to Hamas Piker than this spiteful leprechaun.
01:59:38.000So comparing people that behead babies to somebody like me because you don't like my political opinions makes you a complete dick you just make the allegation that Hassan Piker beheaded a baby.
02:01:13.000Andrew Starr 8062 says, starts losing argument and immediately goes to, I don't understand why Republicans are obsessed with every single time these people are brainwashed.
