00:08:44.000 And now...
00:08:53.000 We saw my father as the undisputed global.
00:08:56.000 global leader, the leader of the free world, sitting down with European leaders and President Zelensky to discuss a pathway forward for peace.
00:09:08.000 And guys, it is historic.
00:09:10.000 It follows the Alaska summit with Putin on Friday, and the images we saw yesterday inside the White House will surely have an impact on how the Russians approach this war moving forward.
00:09:23.000 There is no auto pen here, folks.
00:09:26.000 This is just the opposite.
00:09:29.000 actual action.
00:09:30.000 And when you look at the photos from the East Room and at the Oval Office yesterday, you can see how much confidence they always have.
00:09:41.000 The guy that many of them probably talked about and certainly the mainstream media talked about being, you know, the future cause of World War III is actually the guy who's most likely to prevent it from ever happening.
00:09:55.000 For example, here's Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Malone yesterday.
00:09:59.000 So something is changing, something has changed, thanks to you.
00:10:04.000 Thanks also to the Stalin in the battlefield, which was achieved with the bravery of Ukrainians and with the unity that we all provided to Ukraine.
00:10:15.000 And did you notice Zelensky's change in posture and tone compared to, say, I don't know, his previous Oval Office meeting?
00:10:25.000 He wore a suit.
00:10:27.000 He was less adversarial.
00:10:29.000 He seemed thankful and grateful for the efforts and money and everything that America has put leading this effort.
00:10:38.000 And he had a totally different disposition.
00:10:40.000 Most importantly, I guess...
00:10:49.000 But, you know, minor details.
00:10:51.000 Guys, here's a clip from when the Oval Office meeting.
00:10:55.000 yesterday started.
00:10:57.000 Check it out.
00:10:58.000 Thank you very much for being here.
00:11:00.000 Thank you so much, Mr. President.
00:11:02.000 If I can, first of all, thank you for the invitation and thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop killings and stop this war.
00:11:11.000 Thank you.
00:11:11.000 And using this opportunity, many thanks to your wife, First Lady of the United States.
00:11:18.000 She sent a letter to Putin about our children, adopted children, and my wife, First Lady of Ukraine, she gave the letter.
00:11:29.000 It's not to you, it's to your wife. 0.96
00:11:30.000 No, no, I want it.
00:11:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:34.000 So we're thanking this sensitive topic.
00:11:37.000 Yeah, please.
00:11:38.000 And thanks to our partners and that you supported this format that after our meeting we can have leaders who are around us, the UK and France, Germany, Italy, Finland, EU, NATO, I mean all partners around Ukraine supporting us.
00:11:54.000 Thanks to them.
00:11:55.000 Thank you very much for the invitation.
00:11:58.000 Thank you very much for being here.
00:12:00.000 And a recent poll found out that nearly 70% of Ukrainians now support a negotiated peace deal.
00:12:06.000 That's up from just over 20% at the start Remember, my United States is not in a war.
00:12:18.000 Our United States is not in a war.
00:12:21.000 We did not start the war, but my father is taking the lead on ending it.
00:12:27.000 This war came from the weakness that was oozing out of the Biden White House.
00:12:35.000 It's yet another example, though, guys, how you can change things and how important peace through strength actually is.
00:12:43.000 Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio laying out exactly what's next.
00:12:48.000 next?
00:12:49.000 Any sovereign country in the world has a right to enter into security alliances with other countries.
00:12:54.000 You know, it's not just NATO.
00:12:55.000 We have such alliances with South Korea.
00:12:57.000 We have it with Japan. 1.00
00:12:58.000 Other countries have it with each other.
00:13:00.000 And so I think everyone would acknowledge, including, by the way, for the first time, the Russian side.
00:13:04.000 under President Trump's sort of pressure or, you know, a suggestion is that in fact a Ukraine post-conflict has a right to enter into security agreements with other countries.
00:13:15.000 And we will work with our European allies and non-European countries, by the way, to build such a security guarantee.
00:13:20.000 We're working on that right now.
00:13:22.000 We'll continue to work on that.
00:13:24.000 And that'll be something that will have to be in place after a peace deal so that Ukraine can feel safe moving forward.
00:13:30.000 And we're coordinating that as we speak.
00:13:32.000 We're involved in the coordination of it.
00:13:34.000 So yes, there are a number of countries that are willing to step forward and provide Ukraine security guarantees.
00:13:39.000 But as the Ukrainians have said to us, and I think have said publicly, the strongest security guarantee they can come up with for their future is to have a strong military moving forward and that's the other dynamic that's changed we're no longer giving ukraine weapons we're no longer giving ukraine money we are now selling them weapons and european countries are paying for it through nato they are using nato to buy the weapons and transfer them to ukraine that's another big change from the way this war was approached just a few you know just under the biden administration for example now the next focus will be on
00:14:09.000 the parameters of the so-called security guarantees and what specific compromises Ukraine and Russia are both willing to make, like on land in eastern Ukraine that's currently controlled by Russian forces.
00:14:25.000 But as my father said this morning, everyone is getting along just a little bit better.
00:14:32.000 And it's why bilateral and then trilateral meetings are expected to take place.
00:14:37.000 in the weeks ahead.
00:14:38.000 Take a look at what my dad had to say.
00:14:41.000 What has surprised you the most between Zelensky and Putin in terms of their strength or weakness of their position right now?
00:14:51.000 Well, I think the fact that maybe they're getting along a little bit better than I thought.
00:14:55.000 Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up the two meeting.
00:14:57.000 I would have set up the three, a trilat. 0.94
00:15:00.000 But I think they're doing a little bit better.
00:15:03.000 There's been tremendous bad blood.
00:15:05.000 And again, this was all worked out by an administration that didn't have a clue.
00:15:09.000 And if you remember, they said, well, if you made a minor incursion, that would be okay.
00:15:13.000 That was it.
00:15:14.000 That was the end.
00:15:15.000 The whole thing when Biden made that statement.
00:15:17.000 But minor incursion, what does that mean?
00:15:20.000 So I think they're doing okay.
00:15:22.000 I wouldn't say they are.
00:15:24.000 They are never going to be best friends, but they're doing okay.
00:15:28.000 And we're just going to see.
00:15:29.000 So we're setting up a meeting.
00:15:30.000 I sort of set it up with Putin and Zelenskyy.
00:15:34.000 And, you know, they're the ones that have to call the shots.
00:15:37.000 We're seven thousand miles away, in all fairness, you know.
00:15:40.000 We have we've spent through the previous administration, 350 billion dollars.
00:15:47.000 Europe has spent a lot, also 100 billion, but it should be reversed if we should have been in for anything.
00:15:53.000 But it wouldn't have happened.
00:15:54.000 So that would have been much better because so many people died.
00:15:57.000 This is the biggest this is the biggest bad situation since World War II.
00:16:02.000 war too there's been nothing even close so mr. and what makes my father such a pragmatic peacemaker is the sense of urgency okay thousands and thousands tens of thousands of people are dying needlessly every week yesterday at the meetings one of the european diplomats suggested another round of meetings with putin in a month or two my father responded no i'm calling him tonight What a flex.
00:16:29.000 He literally walked out of the meeting and just called him, came back in.
00:16:32.000 Hey, we didn't have to wait a month or two.
00:16:34.000 We didn't have to risk another 100,000 kids, some cases now older because they're It's over now because there are no kids left dying for no reason.
00:16:44.000 Let's know what my father had to describe the sequence of events.
00:16:48.000 And one of the things at the table was one of the gentlemen, who's a great guy, but he said, I hope I didn't insult him.
00:16:56.000 He said, Well, let's meet in another month or two and let's see if we can start, you know, making some wealth.
00:17:01.000 He said, A month or two?
00:17:03.000 You can have another forty thousand people dead in a month or two.
00:17:06.000 You have to do it tonight.
00:17:08.000 And I did, actually.
00:17:09.000 I called President Putin and we're trying to work out a meeting with President Zelensky.
00:17:14.000 We'll see what happens there.
00:17:15.000 And then if that works out, if it works out, then I'll go to the pol trilap and close it up. 1.00
00:17:20.000 And my dad isn't just trying to create a safer world abroad.
00:17:25.000 He's also doing it right here at home, right in our nation's capital.
00:17:31.000 Because since launching a full-scale operation to secure D.C. streets, we've seen homeless encampments cleared out.
00:17:38.000 We've seen arrests.
00:17:39.000 We've seen violent crime drop.
00:17:41.000 And it's clearly working.
00:17:44.000 For example, In just the first few days, there have been more than 380 total arrests since the start of the operation.
00:17:53.000 59 firearms have been seized, over 160.
00:17:57.000 illegal aliens have been arrested, including known gang members and those with additional charges including assault, kidnapping, and burglary.
00:18:07.000 And despite what you may hear from the regime media, residents in D.C., again, a very like 93% left-leaning city, residents in D.C. welcome the federal presence to clean up the city.
00:18:24.000 Watch these D.C. residents in their own words.
00:18:27.000 About 11 p.m., we noticed more D.E.A. agents patrolling, this time along the wharf, where Karen Smith was celebrating her birthday with friends.
00:18:37.000 I enjoy having extra security.
00:18:39.000 I think it's a good thing.
00:18:40.000 I mean, you want to feel safe when you're out and about, especially females.
00:18:45.000 And while major newspapers try to act like there's never been a crime problem to begin with, and Democrats are saying they feel perfectly safe, especially with their armed security details, it's just not true.
00:18:58.000 And in fact, just this week, the DC Police Department settled with a whistleblower.
00:19:04.000 who filed a lawsuit back in 2020 saying that the city was distorting crime statistics, including downgrading felonies to misdemeanors.
00:19:14.000 So remember when they told you there's no no real crime.
00:19:17.000 Crime in DC is really down.
00:19:19.000 Well, you know, if you change the way you report crime, if you don't actually report any of it, if you pretend crimes aren't, if you change the way statistics are looked at, yeah, anyone can make it look like there's not a problem.
00:19:31.000 But there's a problem.
00:19:33.000 Crime.
00:19:34.000 But according to a sergeant turned whistleblower, the numbers weren't always to be trusted.
00:19:40.000 In this lawsuit from 2020, sergeant Charlotte Joseu claimed that MPD routinely misclassified crimes and that districts compete against each other to get the largest reduction in the crime statistics.
00:19:53.000 Possibly paving the way to promotions and raises.
00:19:57.000 She claimed higher up in the department told officers to do so, creating a long history of trying to distort crime statistics, including downgrading felonies to demeanor.
00:20:09.000 Josu gave one striking example of a domestic violence case where a woman had a deep cut from her forehead to her chin.
00:20:16.000 The officer on scene called it assault with a dangerous weapon, but the captain allegedly changed it to sick person to the hospital.
00:20:26.000 Josu claimed there were also tendencies to relabel theft and shop stealing cases to taking property without right because that category wasn't tracked in the crime report.
00:20:38.000 Despite the city's failed attempts to have the lawsuit dismissed along with allegations Josu was retaliated against for going public, it was set for a jury trial this summer and then quietly settled out of court last week.
00:20:53.000 We know from local reporting that there's a police commander who has been suspended, is under investigation.
00:20:57.000 The allegation is he was going into police databases, changing felonies to misdemeanors to keep those crime statistics down.
00:21:04.000 And it sounds like the response is that that wasn't just some malicious rogue commander.
00:21:08.000 It sounds like that's part, part and parcel of the directives of the command staff and that other commanders are engaged in the same behavior as well.
00:21:16.000 The city had no comment on the settlement and it's unclear how much it may have paid former sergeant Josu, but in those court filings, the city denied that Josu is a whistleblower or that she was ever even retaliated against for exposing systemic fraud in crime reporting by the MPD for the National News.
00:21:36.000 And beyond the raw numbers, this is about quality of life.
00:21:40.000 This is our nation's capital.
00:21:43.000 It shouldn't be filled with trash on the streets or needles or encampments or drug addicts, it's yet another 80-20 issue that Democrats are trying desperately to be on the wrong side of.
00:22:00.000 Just watch this clip of homeless encampments being torn down and thrown in a garbage truck.
00:22:05.000 is incredibly satisfying to watch America become cleaner and safer once again.
00:22:13.000 *Mario*
00:22:38.000 *Mario* *Mario* *Mario* *Mario*
00:23:06.000 *Mario*
00:23:17.000 It reminds me, my father, I think, mentioned this on TV the other day, but he almost told a story about his grandfather saying, hey, if you walk into a hotel or a restaurant and the lobby is crappy and don't order the food, because the kitchen's probably even worse.
00:23:31.000 If our capital city is a disaster, dirty, crime-riddled, not a safe place to be, what is it safe for the rest of our country? 0.54
00:23:42.000 We can't be yet another shithole country. 0.65
00:23:44.000 There's plenty of those abroad. 0.85
00:23:45.000 That shouldn't happen in America.
00:23:48.000 A broader point here is that peace through strength and understanding through pain can take on many different forms.
00:23:58.000 Sometimes you need to sit down and talk it out.
00:24:01.000 Sometimes you need to deliver an airstrike.
00:24:03.000 And sometimes you need to tear down a homeless encampment.
00:24:09.000 But what my father understands perhaps better than anyone is that to be a true peacemaker, you have to be pragmatic.
00:24:16.000 Okay, you don't ever get everything that you want.
00:24:19.000 That's not how it works in business or otherwise.
00:24:21.000 And it's why a business guy is able to make peace deals and get things done.
00:24:25.000 And while a bureaucrat probably can't, because they don't understand that.
00:24:30.000 They're incapable of it.
00:24:32.000 You have to be pragmatic and be willing to do whatever it takes to actually solve the problem.
00:24:39.000 Not change the statistics, not get someone to report on it in a way that doesn't exemplify reality.
00:24:45.000 You actually have to take it on head on.
00:24:49.000 For example, We have covered repeatedly on this show the invasion and poisoning of our nation by fentanyl drug traffickers and that it cost this nation two Vietnams, okay? 0.89
00:25:02.000 100,000 people a year, every single year.
00:25:05.000 Two Vietnams. 0.99
00:25:06.000 Think about that. 0.98
00:25:07.000 It's insanity.
00:25:09.000 And my father's administration is now taking on the root causes head on by going after the cartels directly.
00:25:17.000 As we're now learning that three U.S. Navy destroyers will arrive off the coast of Venezuela in the next 24 hours as part of an effort to address threats from Latin American drug cartels.
00:25:30.000 and that the additional commitment of military assets in the region will reportedly include P-8 spy planes, warships, and at least one attack submarine.
00:25:43.000 Recently, and perhaps not coincidentally, our Treasury and State Department designated the Maduro-led cartel de la Solis as a designated terrorist group, along with other major cartels across Latin America, because we're not going to allow our country to be invaded, poisoned, maimed, and killed any longer.
00:26:07.000 Certainly not by foreign narco-terrorists who silence and kill their opposition and seek to do us harm. 0.72
00:26:13.000 Well, first of all, we Venezuelans are deeply grateful to President Trump for his unwavering support to freedom and justice and his decisive actions to dismantle this criminal terrorist enterprise.
00:26:28.000 This is a major step because certainly Maduro has not only destroyed the lives of millions of Venezuelans, he's growingly destabilizing the region and represents a real threat to the national security and to the lives of the American people.
00:26:45.000 So this is a clear signal that has already reached Maduro and the few top-rass individuals that still support him and are robbing Venezuela and pretend to stay by force illegitimately in government.
00:27:02.000 But these days are counted undoubtedly.
00:27:06.000 And just breaking guys, today, 30 gang members, including Trendalaragua members, have been charged in Colorado with sick and gruesome crimes, including a barbaric murder for a higher plot and a return of literal human heads as proof of the murders.
00:27:24.000 Remember when Democrats told you this didn't exist?
00:27:27.000 It didn't happen.
00:27:28.000 It's only a couple of buildings that these guys took over, you know, in your cities.
00:27:32.000 It's a couple of buildings.
00:27:33.000 Who cares if they threw out innocent Americans?
00:27:35.000 It's not really happening.
00:27:36.000 It's not really a big deal.
00:27:38.000 Watch this news segment.
00:27:39.000 See for yourself.
00:27:40.000 The TDA gang investigation that focused on the Denver metro area has so far led to 30 people being charged with what investigators are calling brutal crimes.
00:27:48.000 It all started at an apartment complex, an Arapahoe County apartment complex, with the sheriff's department noticing a concerning spike in crime there.
00:27:55.000 Fox 31's Vicente Arena is joining us now live tonight with the latest details here.
00:27:59.000 Vicente.
00:28:00.000 Christine, they gave us a lot of details about this investigation and they even used the word barbaric when they were talking about the different types of crimes that were committed.
00:28:11.000 In some cases, they said that some of the suspects offered to bring back severed heads in exchange for money.
00:28:20.000 The Ivy Crossing apartments in Arapahoe County on South Quebec Street and East Harvard Place quickly became the focus of a massive investigation after crime spiked there in October of last year.
00:28:34.000 After an investigation by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, APD, Denver's ATF and DEA, and Homeland Security investigations, 30 people now face charges.
00:28:46.000 The charges include firearms trafficking, drug trafficking, and a barbaric murder for hire plot in which several of the defendants agreed to kill two people for $15,000 and return their severed heads as proof of the murders for just an extra $5,000.
00:29:02.000 Crimes at the complex began to worsen after TDA gang activity was noticed at an Aurora apartment complex.
00:29:09.000 During the investigation, law enforcement confiscated 69 weapons, one of them a small pistol that investigators say had a machine gun conversion device.
00:29:21.000 By removing these firearms from the street, we've disrupted a dangerous cycle of violence, preventing further harm to our communities and sending a clear message to criminal networks.
00:29:29.000 We will bring you to justice.
00:29:31.000 A large amount of drugs were also confiscated.
00:29:34.000 Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown says there's been a 75% drop in calls for service at Ivy Crossing during the first eight months of this year compared to the same time last year.
00:29:48.000 This work has not only targeted those who bring harm to our neighborhoods, but has also strengthened the foundation for a safer and more hopeful future for the families in Ivy Crossing.
00:29:58.000 In Aurora, investigators also made strides to stop crimes investigators say Trendautagua gang members were committing.
00:30:07.000 So one of the things that we've done in the city of Aurora, as you all know, we closed down the Edge of Laurie apartments.
00:30:10.000 of Lowry Apartments and we are working towards trying to get that completely shut down.
00:30:14.000 Investigators say more arrests are expected in the case.
00:30:19.000 And in all these arrests that have taken place so far, we were told today that three TDA gang leaders were arrested, five members, and a number of other associates of that gang.
00:30:30.000 Now, given all that we've covered so far, you may be wondering, so what does the Democrat Party think about all of this?
00:30:37.000 Well, instead of telling you, Let me show you by playing a fast clip from a recent event for the far-left radical Omar Fattah, who's been leading candidate running for the mayor of Minneapolis.
00:30:55.000 This is the Democrat Party.
00:30:58.000 This is today's Democrat Party.
00:31:01.000 These are the people who are the thought leaders of the Democrat Party.
00:31:06.000 Imagine if this mindset takes hold throughout the rest of the country.
00:31:27.000 So guys, what is the leading candidate for the mayor of Minneapolis.
00:31:34.000 And in New York, frankly, there's a full-fledged communist leading the mayor's race.
00:31:39.000 And he's winning by a lot. 0.99
00:31:41.000 But even as radical and as unhinged as those candidates are, they still pale in comparison to the liar, the leaker, and the far-left lunatic, Adam Schiff. 0.97
00:31:54.000 Because Schiff is now caught doing what he was doing. 0.99
00:31:59.000 all along.
00:32:00.000 We all knew it.
00:32:01.000 I called him, you know, the biggest leaker in the world.
00:32:04.000 When I was doing my House Intelligence Committee meeting, you know, they took my.
00:32:09.000 cell phones.
00:32:09.000 They took my lawyer's cell phones.
00:32:11.000 We had to keep them in a, you know, lockbox separate room.
00:32:13.000 We had no access through them throughout the day.
00:32:16.000 I got out at like 7 p.m.
00:32:18.000 And shockingly, coinciding with literally every bathroom break that we took, there was leaks, not entirely accurate ones, but leaks that served Adam Schiff and the Democrats very well with every bathroom break along the way.
00:32:31.000 So we knew he was doing it all along.
00:32:34.000 It's sort of obvious.
00:32:36.000 Frankly, I can't imagine it was anyone else.
00:32:39.000 But according to a newly declassified 302 report from the FBI, a former Democrat.
00:32:47.000 staffer on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence says back in 2017 that then-ranking member Adam Schiff called a meeting.
00:32:57.000 Now, in this meeting, according to the staffer whose name is redacted, he said that Schiff told the group that they would leak classified information, which was derogatory to the president.
00:33:09.000 and that the information would be used to indict President Trump and I guess presumably myself because I think they tried to do that one too.
00:33:17.000 And remember, guys, this was all the way back in 2017.
00:33:21.000 The staffer allegedly objected, saying it would be illegal, but was reassured that they, quote, would not be caught leaking classified information, close quote.
00:33:33.000 Do you believe this stuff?
00:33:34.000 Again, everything we knew, but now it's actually out there with witnesses.
00:33:38.000 This staffer was so disturbed by the meeting that they went to the FBI to sit for an interview.
00:33:46.000 And we're now finally seeing those transcripts.
00:33:50.000 You know, it only took eight years, but...
00:33:53.000 I guess it's better late than never.
00:33:55.000 They may have slowed down my father.
00:33:56.000 They may have used his cause for two fake impeachments.
00:33:59.000 May have cost the American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, but at least hopefully we'll get to the truth and we'll see how bad these guys really were.
00:34:09.000 This really has to be a tipping point, and if it's not, we got bigger problems.
00:34:13.000 Now, I want to play an old clip from Bill Maher's show where Schiff was asked about getting a pardon, and Schiff said he didn't know why he got one and clearly didn't need one.
00:34:27.000 Check this out.
00:34:28.000 Given the ongoing political tensions and Trump's actions toward his critics, do you think President Biden's preemptive pardons turned out to be more important than initially expected?
00:34:38.000 Let's first tell people what that means, preemptive pardons.
00:34:42.000 That was pretty unprecedented, right?
00:34:44.000 Before he left office, Joe Biden pardoned you and a number of people who he thought Trump would go after.
00:34:53.000 No, I take the opposite view.
00:34:55.000 I don't think he should have given the pardons at all.
00:34:57.000 Really?
00:34:57.000 No, I don't think he should have, and I was vocal about that at the time.
00:35:01.000 and you refuse a pardon?
00:35:02.000 That's less clear because in the case of the General Six Committee, I see.
00:35:09.000 But I didn't like it both because we were enormously proud of our work on the January 6 committee, but more than that, establishing a precedent.
00:35:19.000 that on the way out the door you're going to pardon any number of people gave him even greater latitude on his way out the door to pardon everyone around him.
00:35:29.000 Chief Justice Roberts in that immunity decision, I think, which will go down in infamy, already gave this president permission to be lawless.
00:35:39.000 But the abuse of the pardon power essentially gives him an opportunity to tell everyone around him that when I'm on the way out the door, I've got your back.
00:35:48.000 And so I think part of why you see such willingness among the people around him to engage in lawless action is their confidence.
00:35:56.000 is they're confident they'll get a partnership on the way out the door. 0.99
00:35:58.000 And guys, we'll never forget Shifty Shift's lies about fony Russia collusion that the media breathlessly repeated like a bunch of stupid clapping seals. 0.97
00:36:08.000 Here's a little refresh in case you forgot this one. 0.96
00:36:11.000 My counterpart in the Senate, the Republican chair of the Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, said that his committee has found nothing to suggest collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
00:36:20.000 You said, quote, that's not our view in the House.
00:36:23.000 But, you know, Burr hasn't exactly been a rabid partisan on this.
00:36:26.000 Until the last couple of weeks, he's been working very closely with the Democrats.
00:36:30.000 So why do you think he's wrong?
00:36:31.000 Well, it's not just that I think he's wrong.
00:36:34.000 Mark Warner, the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee in the Senate, also disagrees with that assessment.
00:36:39.000 But look, you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence now.
00:36:45.000 And of course, this isn't Schiff's only scandal because he's also under investigation for apparently lying on a mortgage application to get a better interest rate, falsely claiming that his primary residence was Maryland.
00:36:59.000 But guys, don't take my word for it.
00:37:02.000 Here's Schiff in his own words.
00:37:04.000 But our principal residence, our primary residence is California.
00:37:07.000 It always has been and always will be.
00:37:09.000 And this is the guy, guys.
00:37:10.000 This is the guy the Democrats look up to.
00:37:13.000 He goes on MSDNC all the time, not that anyone's watching.
00:37:17.000 He's on CNN.
00:37:18.000 He's never met a camera he didn't love.
00:37:20.000 And he doesn't stop.
00:37:22.000 But speaking of low-rated fake news, I want to end the show by pouring one out for MSNBC, which now apparently no longer exists and will re-operate and reopen under a new title, MS News, which stands for My Source.
00:37:41.000 I wonder if their sources are still going to be Adam Shift because that seemed to be all it was for a few years.
00:37:47.000 Now, my source says that this network will still be a complete train wreck and a disaster 24 hours a day because changing the name doesn't change the mentality.
00:38:01.000 It doesn't change the insanity.
00:38:04.000 It doesn't exchange the bias.
00:38:07.000 It does nothing new.
00:38:09.000 And with a new name, I'm sure will come new ways that they will embarrass themselves on an ongoing daily basis.
00:38:17.000 And there will be much more to come on all of these major stories, guys.
00:38:22.000 Remember to stay in the fight.
00:38:24.000 Stay engaged.
00:38:26.000 Never let up.
