Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and other conservative senators have questions about the way the Secret Service allowed President Trump to go on stage after being warned of a "credible" threat to his father, Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have questions, and the rest of the country has questions. They talk about what happened, why it happened, and what happened next. They also ask why it took so long to respond to the threat, and whether or not they should have done anything about it right away. They also talk about why the president should have been pulled off the stage before the threat was identified, and why it was so late in the day, and when it was discovered that there was a real threat, not just a scare, but a real, credible, real threat that could have taken out anyone on the presidential platform. And they ask the question, why did they let him go on the stage? and why did it take so long for the threat to be identified? And what happened after they knew it was a threat? and did they still allow him to go up there? in the middle of a speech? Mike Lee has questions, too, and asks the question: Why did they not do something about it earlier? Ted Cruz has questions too, too. and more! And more questions, more importantly, what did they know before they did something about this? or did they do something about it or not or didn t do anything or were they just not to do anything at all they could have done to stop the threat or something or something at all of them in time ? What was the point of action ? and what would they do to stop this from happening? What happened to protect our President from being on the scene what ? What s going to happen next? , what s the next step? & more? Thank you for listening to this episode of the Cruz and Lee's questions and your questions? Thanks for listening, Ted, Mike and Mike's response to this, and any other questions you guys have asked us about this episode? -- we appreciate the questions you sent us your questions and thoughts, thoughts, concerns, and your support, your thoughts, your questions, your support & your support and support, love, your words, your concern
00:00:00.000Outro Well guys, good to be back with you.
00:00:18.000I've been a pissed off son for a couple of days and I think probably well justified in that, but When I thought it was perhaps subsiding a little bit and I was just, you know, lucky to be blessed, which we are.
00:00:29.000I think that was an act of divine intervention.
00:00:32.000I just got some news from our good friend, Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackbird, who was literally on the phone call with, I guess it was DHS, Marsha?
00:00:55.000This was a call for senators to get some answers.
00:00:59.000So many of us had questions, and as I mentioned, I know there are three of us that were in the queue that had our hands raised that were not called on.
00:01:08.000They just ran out of time for a couple of senators.
00:02:14.000If there is a threat, and you know that there is a threat, Play a little bit more music and see if you can resolve this and apprehend the individual.
00:02:26.000Or do something, Don, so that you do not put the protectee and the people that are there in danger.
00:02:37.000And of course, we all, we are just so incredibly grateful that President Trump was spared.
00:02:46.000And we are so incredibly grateful that more people were not hurt.
00:02:51.000And we just mourn for those lost lives.
00:02:55.000But I mean, they allowed that to happen, too, right?
00:03:01.000My father was blessed and got lucky, but, you know, a great fireman, a great patriot... He was blessed and protected.
00:03:14.000His nephew was grazed by the bullet that actually killed the gentleman.
00:03:20.000And they knew that this was out there and they didn't put things on pause because no one's starting to shoot if my father's not on that stage.
00:03:28.000But to know that there's a credible threat and to still let him go up there, that is totally against Anything I've ever seen in the Secret Service.
00:04:29.000These tough Secret Service snipers are afraid of roofs.
00:04:34.000I'm walking up and down sloped walkways out here all over the place, and I don't fear it.
00:04:39.000It's so asinine, but guys, the timing that we thought, you know, you'd question, oh, hey, did they find out while he was in process, while he was in speech, and they're figuring it out?
00:04:47.000They knew before they ever let my father get on the stage that there was a real threat, and that makes this all so much worse.
00:04:55.000It wasn't like they discovered it midstream and everything like that, Crazy.
00:04:59.000And of course, they won't take your questions or Ted Cruz's questions or Mike Lee's questions.
00:05:52.000Welcome to another huge Random episode of Triggered because this one is going to be a special show as well because not only are we breaking news, but we're also joined by Peter Navarro.
00:06:04.000Peter literally just left federal prison this morning after serving four months.
00:06:12.000He's in prison because he didn't comply with the unconstitutional January 6th Committee.
00:06:17.000Peter is a patriot and living proof that the left will do whatever it can to destroy its enemies.
00:06:23.000And he's also got a new book coming out that we're actually publishing with my winning team publishing company, The New MAGA Deal, because once they went after him, once they tried to throw him in jail, the usual suspects walk away.
00:06:57.000You know, whether it's, you know, through supporting the sponsors of programming like this, whether it's through just, you know, being present, making sure you defend them, you know, online and everywhere.
00:07:06.000So, you know, when, when that was going on and, you know, I guess you were a couple of weeks in and I was like, Hey, I, I'm going to run down to Miami and man, and get, you know, It's that was a surreal experience, you know, because you're like, oh, well, it's you know, it's not maximum security.
00:07:19.000You go through these protocols and you go through everything.
00:07:28.000But look, I think that if my experience.
00:07:36.000People in this country understand that if it can happen to me, it happened to Bannon, they're trying to make it It can happen to your father.
00:07:47.000They have so successfully weaponized the injustice system to punish rivals that it's frightening.
00:08:00.000One of my big taglines tonight is, if we don't control our government, their government will control us.
00:08:09.000If we don't control our government, their government And I show how it took all three branches of the government, legislative, Congress, executive, the Attorney General, and the judicial, the judge that railroaded me into prison.
00:08:27.000It took all three, and they're all controlled by Democrats.
00:08:46.000Steve Bannon just started serving a present sentence two weeks ago.
00:08:49.000I hosted War Room yesterday just to keep that going, his show.
00:08:55.000They did the same to you, and they're trying to do it to my father.
00:08:57.000Now, when you think about my father's administration, arguably the three most MAGA people in that administration would be Trump, you, and Bannon.
00:09:06.000They're trying to take key Chess pieces off the board.
00:09:13.000So we're clear, Peter is still under appeal.
00:09:16.000So there hasn't even been necessarily what we'd call a final verdict in his case, but they say, well, may still be under appeal, but we're not going to bother with that.
00:09:23.000We're just going to take you off the chess board.
00:09:26.000Even if you get everything thrown out on appeal later on, like some of the things that's happened, even with my father this week, guess what?
00:09:37.000I'm saying, look, You guys did a beautiful job with this book, A New MAGA Deal, and we'll talk a little bit about it in a little bit, but look at who's on it.
00:09:47.000It's me, your dad, and Steve Bannon, okay?
00:09:51.000Steve and I, Steve's in prison, I just got out, and a bullet, by the grace of God, just barely grazed him.
00:12:09.000She came in and was just, we were literally just, she was just gonna say hi, and she's like, just so you know, I just got off the phone with the, you know, FBI director, the director and co-director or whatever of the, the Secret Service, and we were going through the scenario.
00:12:24.000And apparently, the shooter was noticed with rangefinders and gear, notified at, uh, 5-51.
00:12:33.000At 5.53, they knew there was a shooter on a roof.
00:12:37.000They let my father go on the stage at 6 p.m.
00:14:02.000If you know anything, I mean, look, you've been to a ton more rallies than I have, but every time you go, You look around at what the dangers can be.
00:15:30.000He didn't even, literally, he's in prison for bullshit, and his focus was the first steps in the new administration are gonna be X, Y, and Z, and that's what you wrote about in the new MAGA deal.
00:15:59.000The way it needs to happen and will happen is, day after the election, between then and Inauguration Day, there'll be 100 executive orders written.
00:16:11.000And there'll be 50 more that get rid of whatever Joe Biden did, particularly how he screwed up the border.
00:16:18.000And that's the thing, the new MAGA deal, it's got really nice chapters from folks like Mike Davis on the justice system.
00:16:33.000And the way I like the setup is the first couple of chapters, this is part of my role, is to explain to people in a way where we'll be able to defend ourselves against the inevitable attack, onslaught of criticism that MAGA is somehow outside the mainstream, when in fact, you and I both know, it's just pure Main Street, middle-of-the-road stuff.
00:17:40.000I mean, we're in a place The theme of the speech tonight, again, is if we don't control our government... Peter's talking at the RNC at what, like 530?
00:17:57.000If we don't control our government, their government will control us.
00:18:01.000And when I say their government, the other message I'm going to have today and tomorrow here is that In order to win this election, hear me out here, we can't just unite the Republican Party, we have to unite the country.
00:18:16.000And what I'm going to be reaching out to the Democrats, and if you're a Democrat, listen to this, see if this checks one of your boxes.
00:18:24.000Disengaged, disenfranchised from, disgusted by, the Democrat elites who have hijacked your party.
00:18:35.000How many Democrats, do you think, fit that description?
00:18:42.000These woke elites who are pushing these open border, everything open border, transgender, to just gun the economies in ways which is going to drive us over fiscal cliff, that's not, that's not America, okay?
00:19:02.000This election is not a Democrat versus a Republican.
00:19:05.000It's about American values versus this new woke ideology, which is not embraced by anywhere near a majority.
00:19:39.000It's the Africans, Americans in Milwaukee.
00:19:42.000It's like I'm saying here, like, look, if you're an African-American, The reason why so many are coming over to the Trump side is they're seeing how the border crisis is crushing their wages and stealing their jobs.
00:19:55.000And if you're a student down in Madison getting taught by all these left-wing professors, you're wondering, you know, what's my future?
00:20:14.000It isn't buying a house because at 7% interest rates and inflation the way it is, you're going to be living in mommy's basement for a long time.
00:20:33.000But look, that's where this election is going to be won or lost.
00:20:37.000It's going to be on unifying the country behind this whole notion of who we are as Americans and this whole weaponization of the injustice system, as your dad likes to call it.
00:20:53.000I mean, look, I went into this whole Okay, I'm standing up for principle.
00:21:01.000At least I'll be able to get a fair hearing on it.
00:21:05.000But at every step of the way, including putting me in jail before my appeal was heard, they screwed me.
00:21:13.000I mean, how do you go in front of a Democrat judge, an Obama appointee, married to a woman who works for one of the biggest Democrat lobbying firms and campaign contributions, and have him strip me of every single defense before I got to trial?
00:21:39.000Peter, they're fining us a half a billion dollars, five hundred million dollars for paying back loans on time and with interest, where the alleged victim is literally testifying on our behalf, saying, what are you talking about?
00:21:59.000crash, after Sarbanes-Oxley, after all of the legislation to put like Can you imagine the class action lawsuit a bank would have if they didn't do due diligence themselves?
00:22:09.000And yet, you get a judge that conveniently is obviously a radical leftist.
00:22:13.000A judge that refuses to kick literally a billion dollar case to the commercial division that actually handles those things.
00:22:21.000Someone who can say that Mar-a-Lago is worth 18 million dollars.
00:22:24.000And you know, you can say what you want and I understand how their game is that most people can't fathom even an 18 million dollar home.
00:22:33.000Try to buy a lot in Palm Beach on the ocean for less than a couple hundred million.
00:22:38.000A quarter acre lot can go for $25 million or more.
00:22:43.000A couple of the neighboring houses are half acre and they're on the market for $50-60 million.
00:24:09.000Yeah, you need to be able to have a tough conversation without worrying about reading it on the front page of the Washington Post.
00:24:14.000That's how you make serious decisions.
00:24:16.000When wars are at stake, when lives are at stake, that matters.
00:24:18.000You need to be able to do that, even if you're just playing out a scenario, playing out a war game, so to speak.
00:24:24.000It's the bedrock of the constitutional separation of power.
00:24:26.000You literally wouldn't be able to make a decision if you thought you were going to be liable.
00:24:28.000And for 50 years, it's been the policy of the Department of Justice across party lines I don't know how much time we have but I do want to say J.D.
00:24:38.000and it's my duty, my duty to tell them, no.
00:25:16.000With a contrast between JD and Kamala, right?
00:25:19.000You know that the only thing that Joe Biden ever asked her to do, the only thing significant he ever asked to do, It was to go down to the border and be the border czar and solve that problem.
00:25:30.000She stuck up her nose in the air, smelled that stench coming across the Rio Grande, turned tail and ran back to the West Wing, never to be seen again, and unleashed the worst border crisis in the history of this country.
00:25:44.000The fentanyl, the human trafficking, the child sex trafficking.
00:25:48.000Islamic terrorists, Chinese spies, millions driving down the wages of black, brown, and blue-collar Americans.
00:26:00.000Vance, Mr. Vice President, go down and solve that crisis for us, that he would have done anything other than solve that crisis, that soldier, he's that soldier.
00:26:15.000He and I, I've never met him, but we are two sides of the same coin.
00:26:19.000When I was up at 30,000 feet, Don, Back in California in 2003, 4, and 5, getting ready to write The Coming China Wars, looking at what Communist China was doing after they entered the WTO, devastating the Midwest factories, okay?
00:26:54.000So he understands viscerally what I understood from a research point of view.
00:27:01.000And we both came to the conclusion, as did your father, that the best way for this country to prosper and be safe, be safe, is to have our manufacturing and defense industrial base here on home soil.
00:27:14.000And I think that he is the key to Michigan, Pennsylvania, And Wisconsin, and Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are the key to winning this election.
00:27:24.000And what I hope to see... Oh, I think he's going to be critical when women hear his story.
00:27:40.000And again, I think, you know, obviously it plays great in the Rust Belt, but more important than what I love, the number one thing is that He's a young guy.
00:27:46.000He's a young guy that can take that America First movement forward to that next generation.
00:27:51.000You get 12 years of MAGA, not four, and a reversion back to neocon, warmongering bullshit, America Last policy, which is what we've seen from the Democrats.
00:28:02.000And honestly, it's what we'd see from half of the Republicans in Congress and certainly in the Senate.
00:28:08.000Uh, you know, I'm super psyched about that.
00:28:09.000Peter, I'm very excited about your speech.
00:28:50.000We have to support the businesses that share our values.
00:28:52.000You do that by voting with your wallet, whether it's, you know, getting on, you know, guys like Public Square, one of the great sponsors of this show.
00:28:58.000You know, check it out on publicsquare.com or download the Public Square app.
00:29:02.000You can find those businesses that share your values.
00:29:04.000If you're a business, you can list your business on Public Square so other great patriots can find your business.
00:29:10.000But we actually have to make that effort to find each other, to support each other, to keep things going.
00:29:18.000Uh, because, because that's a really big deal.
00:29:21.000And, you know, if we take out some of that money from that woke beast, uh, that's a huge win for America right now.
00:29:27.000So, Peter, I just want to thank you for, uh... Thank you for your support.
00:29:31.000I literally can't believe... Peter Navarro was in prison this morning.
00:29:34.000And he's here right now, ready to fight, ready to go.
00:30:27.000I gotta thank your brother, too, because what she would do, because she was way far away, she'd come down and stay at the Doral Saturday night so she could see me Saturday and Sunday and Mick Allen, all the folks there, and they treated her just like the princess.
00:31:06.000We got Michael Waltz, so it's going to be a good one.
00:31:09.000That's actually perfect because we need more guys that can talk because I'm starting to lose my voice because I've live streamed like 39 hours in the last two days.
00:31:35.000Okay, so guys, as we've said, coming up on the set in just a few moments will be Mike Davis along with Florida Congressman Michael Waltz.
00:31:42.000But first, we have a brand new sponsor here at Rumble 5G free where you can protect yourself from harmful radiation with scientifically proven solutions.
00:31:52.000And like I always say, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
00:31:57.000Get their radiation Emergency kit to protect against radioactive threat, which includes not only FDA approved drugs to combat handful radioactive threats, but every radiation emergency kit includes a guidebook for safe and easy use.
00:32:13.000And they are partnering with rumble on a special offer so that you're protected when you need it most.
00:32:18.000So go to 5G free dot com slash studio and use code studio to save 10%.
00:33:53.000But it's always fun, though, to... The best leak, though, was when you were down in our committee being interviewed, and before you even got... You got out for a break, and there was already fake news that has out there.
00:34:02.000Well, no, but they took my phone, so I didn't even know, but I got out at, like, 7.30 that night after, like, 10 hours of testimony, and I'm scrolling back throughout the day on Twitter, and, like, literally, you know, bathroom break was at 9.30.
00:34:36.000I mean, we wanted everybody to come forward and give testimony.
00:34:40.000And, you know, ironically, you and everybody else that was involved, well, not involved because it was a hoax, all of the Trump people came in.
00:34:49.000You know, the FBI refused, most of them refused to come in.
00:34:52.000It wasn't until later that we found out most of the agents that were involved.
00:34:56.000And that was through some of the work that Chuck Grassley did and others.
00:34:59.000And it was a sad state of affairs, but sorry about that.
00:35:12.000They're willing to do it, even if there's not an explicit ask.
00:35:14.000The DOJ knows to be the lapdog, whether it's they're protecting Hunter Biden, whether they're protecting Joe Biden, whether they're protecting Jill Biden, all the other Bidens that are on CCP payrolls.
00:35:25.000It's shocking, because I know it would be a real problem if it was me, and yet, you know, if it's not going to be enforced, what's the purpose of even having these laws?
00:35:33.000Let's look at President Biden's campaign strategy.
00:35:35.000It is to label your father a fascist dictator who must be stopped at all costs.
00:37:04.000I mean, who wouldn't go back and kill baby Hitler if you knew it was coming?
00:37:10.000You'd almost have a moral obligation to.
00:37:13.000And so they've created that where they've allowed that to happen.
00:37:16.000But what you guys don't know, I started this show 20 minutes early because Marsha Blackburn just came in here, Senator from Tennessee, and she goes, I just got off a call with the head of the Secret Service, with some of the people I guess at DOJ or FBI, and They knew at 551, there was a dude with a rangefinder and a suspicious bag, I guess, that was marked.
00:37:40.000At 553, they knew that person was on a rooftop.
00:37:45.000My father went on to the stage at 6 p.m.
00:37:48.000So nine minutes after they knew there was a credible threat, they still let him go on the stage.
00:37:52.000Then he was on the stage for 11 minutes before the first shots were fired.
00:38:31.000Because like, you know, I thought they figured it out, you know, once he started speaking and they were like, I'm like, oh my God, they let him go on the stage.
00:38:39.000That caused someone's life to end, because that guy wasn't going to shoot if Trump wasn't on the stage.
00:39:07.000And so, The communication back to the core close-in protection is still unclear.
00:39:13.000But Don, I think this is a wholly different issue.
00:39:16.000There's the weaponization that we've seen of throwing everything they've got at them.
00:39:20.000This is a different kind of weaponization.
00:39:22.000I'm going to throw out their weaponization by denial and let other people Yeah.
00:39:28.000Well, some of your colleagues have done that.
00:39:33.000I mean, there are nine or eleven Democrat congressmen that wanted to sign this legislation right now to literally strip my father of his Secret Service detail.
00:40:14.000Whether it's Jimmy Carter sitting in an old folks home, or whether it's your father who has multiple residences, rallies every week, high level of threat.
00:40:22.000And when they kept, these are what the agents are telling me, when they kept requesting more, what they got back from the headquarters is, we're not going to fund all these extra agents for all of his extra rallies.
00:41:39.000That doesn't fit in the bureaucrat's formula.
00:41:42.000The second that happens though, they beef these things up.
00:41:46.000When you're the presumptive nominee of the major party, There's an automatic extra.
00:41:51.000It doesn't just change, you know, the other day when Eric and I got to throw the floor to the delegation to throw him over the delegate count to make him the official.
00:41:58.000Once it's known that he's official, that's when that kicks in.
00:42:02.000Because I saw that last time around, okay?
00:42:05.000When he was president, it was, you know, obviously a huge detail.
00:42:07.000But in 2016, when he became the presumptive nominee, that detail grew.
00:42:14.000He had a detail before he was that, but it was a smaller footprint.
00:42:20.000Watch, next week, you're gonna see, because it fits into their little box formula, regardless of the magnitude of the threat, domestic threat, foreign threat.
00:42:28.000The Iranian threat, by the way, has been around for years.
00:42:32.000Robert O'Brien, his national security advisor, is now public.
00:42:35.000Many of us have known this and been fighting with the service about it.
00:42:39.000Had his pulled completely regardless of the threat.
00:42:43.000And so, what I'm gonna do next week and go down to Devin's old skiff, And say, show me the new salacious Iranian threat.
00:43:15.000Isn't that sort of like a great endorsement?
00:43:16.000Like when your biggest enemies don't want you to become president, when they want to make sure you, isn't that like, doesn't it almost tell you everything you need to know about?
00:45:04.000But, Mike, we saw, you know, Judge Cannon, the rule in Florida the other day, that Jack Smith improperly appointed as counsel and, you know, threw out the documents case.
00:45:13.000Kind of a big one, because that was one that a lot of people actually feared was the most dangerous.
00:45:16.000That was the one where the FBI's hostage rescue team had to kick in the doors at Mar-a-Lago, guns a-blazin', you know, because the host—it's like using SEAL Team 6 to, like, you know, take your kid to kindergarten.
00:45:26.000Seems aggressive, but What does that mean?
00:45:33.000Explain it to sort of, you know, in non-legalese terms.
00:45:36.000Like, how do I tell that to like a four-year-old so that people understand what it means?
00:45:39.000And what are the implications on some of the other cases?
00:45:42.000What does that do to Jack Smith in DC and the others?
00:45:45.000So Judge Cannon correctly said that the Office of Special Counsel is unconstitutional because in order for there to be officers of the United States, they have to be created by Congress.
00:45:59.000And they also have to be funded by Congress.
00:46:02.000What they've done with this special counsel is after Ken started his investigation of Clinton, the Office of Independent Counsel created by Congress was intentionally allowed to lapse because people were upset about the Starr investigation.
00:46:16.000Well, the Justice Department did not like that, and so they tried to do an end-run around Congress and create the special counsel through fiat, through regulation.
00:46:26.000It violates the Appointment Clause of the Constitution, where the president must Nominate, the Senate must confirm, the President must appoint officers of the United States, and it also violates the Appropriations Clause, where Congress has to fund these, and these special counsel through this fiat essentially has an unlimited budget.
00:46:46.000So this special counsel investigation in Florida is gone.
00:46:51.000If they want to bring new charges, go through a U.S.
00:47:36.000I mean, that's exactly, I mean, that was like planting evidence.
00:47:39.000I mean, just, I mean, 101, I would think.
00:47:41.000I mean, if that was not how they found him, then, then why would they spread him out and do that?
00:47:45.000I mean, that should have been, and I don't know if the judge ever ruled, but the second question would be to build on that is how does it impact the J6 cases, which are already mucked up?
00:47:56.000But this should also impact them also, right?
00:47:58.000Yeah, so Judge Cannon's decision is binding on the Southern District of Florida.
00:48:03.000It's persuasive for Judge Chuckin in D.C.
00:48:05.000and Judge Chuckin is a radical Obama judge and there's no way in hell she's going to dismiss this case.
00:48:40.000But he has to declare a mistrial in New York.
00:48:42.000If he does not declare a mistrial, Trump can very quickly get that case up to the Supreme Court of the United States and there's no doubt in my mind they're going to rule for Trump on that.
00:48:51.000With Judge Cannon's case, that case is done.
00:48:54.000Judge Chutkan's case, there's not much of a case left.
00:48:56.000After the Fisher decision on January 6th, two of the four charges are largely gutted.
00:49:01.000It's on obstruction, where Jack Smith misapplied a post-Enron obstruction of justice statute to go after corporate fraud, to go after Trump and his January 6th supporters.
00:49:11.000Half of the case is gutted there and then probably another 30% is gutted because of presidential immunity, right?
00:49:20.000That you can't charge a president criminally for his official acts, just like you can't charge judges or members of Congress, right?
00:49:25.000And so the whole case may have to be thrown out because remember, Jack Smith also presented evidence to the grand jury that was subject to presidential immunity.
00:49:33.000immunity. So they may have to have that whole case kicked.
00:49:36.000The bottom line is this, they came at Trump with everything they had legally and Trump beat him,
00:49:42.000right? He dodged the legal bullet, he dodged the actual bullet, he's going to be, he's going to
00:49:47.000win in a landslide on November 5th, he's going to get back into the White House on January 20th
00:49:52.000and his acting attorney general should dismiss these charges on day one, fire Jack Smith
00:50:15.000I think you're right, actually, but the problem is with all the rhinos in the Senate, you're getting the one obligatory head nod from Chuck Grassley.
00:50:28.000Uh, and I have a 0% chance I would get one vote, a pity vote from Chuck Grassley, my former boss, and it would ruin his 65-year political career.
00:50:39.000But, you know, honestly, I think given the weaponization that we've seen, uh, Devin, that you've, you've witnessed, you've, they've done it to you even as well, and they've, you know, they stonewalled you from actually getting an investigation done as it related to Russia-Russia.
00:50:51.000Mike, who, who is someone That would be tough enough to do that, but is also confirmable.
00:50:57.000Who, who would your list of, you know, who would your top three be?
00:51:00.000I mean, I think you put him, you put him in as acting because then you get, you get someone more aggressive naturally because they just want to get that guy the hell out of that job.
00:51:10.000Because, uh, there are many good people who I really like is Mark Paoletta, who used to be, uh, one of president Trump's top lawyers in the white house.
00:52:31.000If you're going to be talking about that, that's going to be... I'm going to talk about her father with them.
00:52:38.000And the compassionate leader, the commander-in-chief that I saw, the one that's not checking his watch as the caskets go by, the one that's not making it all about him like Biden did at Dover, according to these families.
00:52:53.000And according to these families, he walked up and said, my son died in combat too.
00:52:59.000I mean, she said it was all she could do, just nothing.
00:54:25.000I was like, that's a young kid who's never, you know, going into her junior year of high school is like you're gonna speak in front of that's your first speech.
00:54:49.000Obviously, uh, you know, a lot going on where we always talk about sort of the parallel economy, obviously rumbles a big part of that.
00:54:55.000If you want to slide over, maybe it's easier, but, uh, but you know, you, you were intimately involved in the, in the, you were actually on rumble before me.
00:55:05.000Uh, I think, I think I was number three, like verified user.
00:56:20.000And I, I called Chris and you know, at, at first I remember Chris said he thought he was under investigation by the house intelligence committee.
00:56:27.000And then afterwards he, he realized he probably is now he wasn't then.
00:56:31.000Cause we actually had, uh, you, you were in charge of it then.
00:56:52.000I had, I don't know, like 8,000 followers.
00:56:55.000So, you know, clearly there was a need for free speech.
00:56:58.000That's what, that's when I really learned that these free speech platforms are so critically important because the other platforms are, are like what you just said on meta.
00:57:09.000And don't forget, I mean, another report came out today.
00:57:12.000from Media Research Center that Twitter, no matter, your dad and I, we all have supported Elon getting a hold
00:57:19.000of Twitter, but they're still suppressing conservatives on there
00:58:08.000I enjoy every day because every day we get up and we're fighting the bad guys.
00:58:12.000Well guys, it just came out that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries worked together closely to delay the virtual nomination of Joe Biden.
00:58:20.000I mean, I don't know what... I don't know why they need to do it virtual, but, you know, I guess they're still... Is he going to be ready by the Democrat convention?
00:59:09.000And so this is a very bad side for Biden.
00:59:11.000The problem is that The Democrats are stuck with Joe Biden legally, financially, and politically.
00:59:18.000Legally, the Democrats are beyond the filing deadline to get someone else on the ballot.
00:59:24.000Financially, Joe Biden has $100 million plus in hard money, and he can't just hand that over to any other candidate besides Kamala Harris.
00:59:31.000It would become soft money that's not as effective.
00:59:35.000And politically, How the hell do they skip over the first black and first female vice president to bring in Gavin Newsom or something like that?
01:00:50.000They're trying to protect that downed ballot.
01:00:52.000And I think, you know, honestly, if you would have asked me six weeks ago, just because of the nature of the cycle, just because of, frankly, the redistricting maps that, you know, of course, you know, weak state legislators or radical Democrat state legislature, like I was sort of of the mindset that we're probably losing the House almost anyway.
01:01:09.000Again, most of that redistricting, not because of fact, not because of anything, but they play that game more aggressively.
01:02:10.000I mean, I say worked together, but when he got into the Senate, I kept him abreast of what was going on.
01:02:15.000And of course, he was actually one of the first investors in Rumble.
01:02:18.000Yeah, he was one of the first investors in Rumble.
01:02:20.000I was one of the first people to be on Rumble with the animals, with the funny animals, but then I think JD Vance was one of the first investors.
01:02:27.000So, look, I think he needs to get in a bus and basically go between Milwaukee to Madison to Detroit to all over parts of Michigan and into the rural parts of Pennsylvania and, you know, and speak to the people that he grew up with.
01:02:44.000Yes, you got to hear this one because it's a it's a funny Although, I guess not even shocking story.
01:02:50.000The New York Post reported this week that an illegal immigrant was arrested in Miami, crossed the border illegally in October of 2021, but he was released by ICE because, and I'm quoting here, because he was overweight.
01:03:08.000Is there any, I mean, so you can be a criminal, you can get arrested, you can do this, but is there any, like, can it just be like that?
01:03:16.000He smiled, he was nice to me, so we let him go.
01:03:17.000I mean, is there any enforcement of any of these laws at this point?
01:03:21.000I mean, it seems like the most ridiculous excuse in the history of excuses.
01:03:25.000I'm getting a little tubby myself, so maybe I, is that a get-out-of-jail-free card?
01:03:45.000But guys, make sure everyone, by the way, that you're watching, I know we're doing a bunch of random shows this week and popping on at random times, but make sure you're liking, you're sharing, you're subscribing, you're downloading the Rumble app, so when I do do one of these random sort of not part of the regular schedule shows, you get to see it.
01:04:03.000Stay tuned for all the Rumble coverage of the RNC.
01:04:05.000Guys, are we also going to cover my speech live tonight?
01:04:08.000If you're on this channel, you're watching it there.
01:04:42.000We didn't know anything for like 90 minutes.
01:04:45.000And, you know, I think she was pretty shook, but also just what a fighter to get her to just come back and like, OK, you know, I haven't been vocal.
01:07:05.000So tomorrow we got Rick Grinnell on obviously and then we have Live, one of his probably first interviews, one of the early ones after his speech.
01:07:15.000Vice presidential candidate, my good buddy, J.D.
01:07:19.000So, obviously, he's been on the show before, but let's just say a lot has changed in, uh... Well, a lot's changed in, like, the last 72 hours, and even a little bit more change in the last 48 hours.
