Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:03:51.000 you 9-0 baby
00:04:11.000 baby! Guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
00:04:16.000 So much, so much to get into tonight, obviously.
00:04:20.000 A huge win today at the Supreme Court, but it's just one step in defeating all of this insane lawfare once and for all.
00:04:30.000 We've witnessed a literal attack on democracy, not from the people who've been talking about
00:04:36.000 that, but the people who've been making it up all along.
00:04:40.000 But the insanity in New York isn't slowing down.
00:04:44.000 I'll give you my full reaction to the Supreme Court as well as to what they're doing and
00:04:49.000 further trying to do to Allen Weisselberg.
00:04:53.000 And just now and how awful it really is, what they're really trying to do, because honestly,
00:05:02.000 We're living in a banana republic, folks, and they continue to prove it each and every day.
00:05:09.000 I also think my father had one of the best moments really reacting to the Supreme Court ruling today.
00:05:16.000 I'm actually going to play a little clip in this intro, but I'm going to play the whole thing.
00:05:21.000 Actually at the end of the show.
00:05:23.000 I think it's important for you guys to see that.
00:05:27.000 I want to also get your guys' reaction to it.
00:05:30.000 It's Trump in front of the press, no teleprompters, no podium, no bullet points, off the cuff.
00:05:38.000 I think it was for like 15 or 20 minutes.
00:05:39.000 I was watching at the time.
00:05:41.000 I was like, wow, it's actually really good.
00:05:42.000 And that's also like when you realize like He can do that, but the President of the United States is so incompetent, he can barely stand up on his own.
00:05:52.000 When he walks, it's like he's got a full diaper.
00:05:54.000 It's really ridiculous, but I actually thought it was really that compare and contrast.
00:05:58.000 I mean, you know, it's what I loved in 2015 when it was just Trump impromptu.
00:06:02.000 You know, once you have a whole operation, things get so much more curated and everything.
00:06:06.000 I was like, this is why...
00:06:08.000 People love him.
00:06:09.000 This is why he gets it.
00:06:11.000 He calls out Joe Biden.
00:06:12.000 Let's do this one-on-one.
00:06:14.000 Let's not do it through the weaponization of our government, etc.
00:06:17.000 But we'll get into that in a little bit.
00:06:18.000 We'll also be joined by the chair of the House Republican Conference, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
00:06:25.000 She's got major developments and multiple investigations.
00:06:28.000 We'll be talking about that, the Biden crime family, the anti-Semitism crisis on college campuses, that she was really the person...
00:06:37.000 Honestly, I think she was probably the best catalyst of all of that.
00:06:40.000 We saw what was going on, but she's the person that called it out and called them out, including the president of my alma mater, Penn, and Harvard, and whatever.
00:06:49.000 In front of Congress.
00:06:50.000 People finally saw just how insane these institutions had become.
00:06:55.000 So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing so you never miss any one of these episodes.
00:07:00.000 Also, if you get your podcast, perhaps in different ways, if you're on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or know people who would do it that way, we put them on there after they air here on Rumble so you can make sure you're sharing that messaging with others, especially if you know that's how they get it or perhaps that's how you get your podcast so you don't ever miss anything.
00:07:19.000 For all of the top headlines, we'll cover in there.
00:07:21.000 Also, you can head over to MXM News, like MXM Minute by Minute News, where you can get the mainstream news without the bias, an app that I created with some friends, just to make sure you could see that.
00:07:32.000 Not what Google's going to give you, certainly not what Gemini is going to generate in their AI program, but we all understand how badly we've been manipulated by search and big tech.
00:07:41.000 I want people to be able to see all of it.
00:07:43.000 So if they tell you to build your own, we do just that.
00:07:46.000 So go check out MXM News.
00:07:48.000 And with that guys, let's get into the top stories of the day.
00:07:52.000 Today, the Supreme Court gave a 9-0 unanimous smackdown to leftist attempts to interfere in the 2024 election.
00:08:03.000 The 14th Amendment does not disqualify my father from the presidential ballot.
00:08:09.000 This was always an insane argument.
00:08:13.000 It was so insane that Sonia Sotomayor, Eleanor Kagan, Katenji Brown-Jackson, not exactly conservatives,
00:08:22.000 not even close, agreed with the conservative majority on the court.
00:08:28.000 The ruling has caused the left to go insane.
00:08:32.000 Keith Olbermann, you know, kind of a whack job to begin with, but he's now accusing Katenji Brown Jackson, apparently, of not being able to read.
00:08:41.000 I mean, seems kind of racist, seems really chauvinistic with what he says about the other members of the court, but he tweeted, the Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.
00:08:51.000 Its members, including Jackson Kagan and Sotomayor, have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension.
00:08:57.000 And collectively, the court has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.
00:09:03.000 It must be dissolved.
00:09:04.000 I mean... Listen, I may not agree with their political views, but I imagine their reading comprehensions, okay, I think they may get selective about some of these things, like when it comes to the Second Amendment, etc.
00:09:17.000 But, you know, this one seems kind of clear.
00:09:20.000 It also seems like the people of the Supreme Court...
00:09:25.000 May agree that maybe, just maybe, my father, with his very clear words, wasn't exactly an insurrectionist, striking another blow into some of the insane nonsense that they're trying to do with the lawfare here each and every day.
00:09:40.000 Now, of course, this is coming from Keith Olbermann, and if you know anything about Olbermann, you'll know that attacking women with vulgarities and sexism is right in his wheelhouse.
00:09:49.000 Back when he was on MSDNC, he once called former Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin a, quote, I mean, I guess only Olbermann could come up with something that ridiculous, but he has some pretty awful takes often and watching him
00:10:10.000 melt down on Twitter is Truly spectacular. He even once came under fire for
00:10:15.000 attacking grandmothers During a tirade against the world baseball classic
00:10:22.000 He literally said quote the world baseball classic is a meaningless exhibition
00:10:27.000 series designed to get you to buy another uniform and and split up teammates based on their grandmothers.
00:10:35.000 Sorry, based on where their grandmothers got laid.
00:10:38.000 Call it off now.
00:10:40.000 This guy is completely insane.
00:10:43.000 And that's, you know, probably in par with most of the radical left today.
00:10:48.000 Of course, the so-called real journalists, not that Keith Olbermann was ever one of those,
00:10:52.000 but the real journalists and expert pundits who have a lower approval rating than long
00:10:58.000 commutes to work and for good reason, also had some special takes.
00:11:03.000 Just look at how the Associated Press framed the Supreme Court's ruling.
00:11:08.000 I quote, Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to hold him accountable
00:11:16.000 for attack on Capitol in 2021.
00:11:20.000 What?
00:11:22.000 Did George Soros, like, get a job as an AP reporter?
00:11:26.000 That's from the AP, folks.
00:11:28.000 Okay? Which is supposed to be, you know, one of the less biased of them all.
00:11:33.000 Now, everything is relative today.
00:11:35.000 In today's mainstream media, it's like, are you a 9 or a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale of, like, just how much of a radical you are?
00:11:44.000 They're supposed to be, like, a 9 as opposed to the 10, which is, like, CNN and MSDNC. But...
00:11:50.000 The American mainstream press is pathetic.
00:11:53.000 They're literally functioning as the marketing department of today's radical left.
00:11:58.000 You should never forget how the left's so-called experts told you that everyone agreed that the 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump from the ballot.
00:12:07.000 Watch this little montage for yourself and see everyone agrees, folks.
00:12:11.000 Everyone agrees. That, as Trump is saying, the president is somehow exempt from the 14th Amendment?
00:12:18.000 The technical legal term for that argument is poppycock.
00:12:21.000 I mean, that is just wrong every day of the week from what the framers understood at the time of the 14th Amendment.
00:12:29.000 Do you think that failing to remove Donald Trump from the ballot devalues the 14th Amendment?
00:12:37.000 It does, and it devalues the entire Constitution.
00:12:41.000 If you read the Constitution and take it literally and historically and textually, you cannot escape the conclusion that he should be removed.
00:12:51.000 But her second major holding is not, and it has national implications.
00:12:58.000 That is, that the 14th Amendment bars a presidential candidate who engaged in insurrection.
00:13:06.000 I think that's correct and the majority of commentators agree with that reading.
00:13:13.000 Everyone agrees, folks.
00:13:15.000 These people are insane.
00:13:17.000 None of these left-wing lunatics will apologize for their bad takes or lose their TV hits or spots or shows just like they didn't for pushing Russia collusion as though it was the gospel for like five years.
00:13:29.000 No, no, no. They get to keep their Pulitzer Prizes for the incredible reporting about something that proved to be a total lie.
00:13:36.000 The same experts that told you that masking works are the same ones that told you that the 14th Amendment bars my father from the ballot.
00:13:46.000 Just remember, folks, though, we've got to keep paying attention to what they're doing.
00:13:49.000 We understand how this court works.
00:13:51.000 We understand how the media will pressure them.
00:13:53.000 They have to rule on other things later.
00:13:56.000 This is the great example that they're not biased at all and not...
00:14:01.000 Pressured. So make sure you understand just that.
00:14:05.000 So I'm not taking it for quite the win that it probably is because I understand how politicized some of this has become.
00:14:12.000 I understand these people live in D.C. We'll talk about those results shortly and what that means and what that likely does.
00:14:19.000 So, you know, let's make sure we understand, keep an open eyes to this, that it's not like this is the...
00:14:25.000 This is the proof that there's not bias there, and they're not easily influenced because you've got to talk about some of the other ones coming up when you talk about presidential immunity and some of the other cases going on.
00:14:35.000 So again, I love the win.
00:14:38.000 9-0 pretty strong. I just hope it's also not a setup for...
00:14:42.000 Damn it. To try to screw over the Constitution, my father, Republicans and conservatives across the country in a couple months.
00:14:50.000 So that's the cynical version.
00:14:52.000 But I have to tell you guys that on this show because you don't come for me to just to give you the good news and only the good news.
00:14:57.000 We got to talk about reality.
00:14:59.000 And that's a big part of what's missing from most of the press and anyone talking about these things.
00:15:03.000 But guys, remember, when it comes to liberals, everything is reversed.
00:15:08.000 The experts don't know anything else.
00:15:10.000 And the protectors of democracy are actually attacking it.
00:15:14.000 The Democrats are frauds.
00:15:15.000 They want to make sure you cannot vote for the person you want to vote for, for the presidency of the United States of America to save democracy, to save the republic.
00:15:28.000 They'll never use save the republic because the implications are different, obviously, than a democracy.
00:15:33.000 But we're going to make sure you can't vote for who you want to to save democracy.
00:15:39.000 My father's response to today's ruling was actually perfect.
00:15:42.000 It's time for Biden to stop the weaponization and start taking care of our country once and for all.
00:15:50.000 The press cannot lie to the American people.
00:15:53.000 They see the insanity each and every day.
00:15:57.000 Check this out. President Biden, number one, stop weaponization.
00:16:03.000 Fight your fight yourself.
00:16:06.000 Don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election.
00:16:13.000 Our country is much bigger than that.
00:16:15.000 The other thing I say to President Biden, close the borders now.
00:16:22.000 This is not sustainable for our country.
00:16:25.000 It's not sustainable for our cities.
00:16:28.000 Our country is under siege.
00:16:32.000 And guys, my father didn't stop there.
00:16:34.000 He explained just how important this ruling is to avoid a complete and total collapse of our election system.
00:16:41.000 Again, I'm always a little bit skeptical, only because I've lived in the real world.
00:16:45.000 I understand how it works.
00:16:47.000 Everything we've been told about our country has probably proven to be a lie, unfortunately.
00:16:52.000 But at least people are waking up to it.
00:16:55.000 But check this one out, because I thought it was really important.
00:16:58.000 Decisions were very well crafted.
00:17:01.000 And I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which our country needs.
00:17:08.000 And they worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now.
00:17:20.000 Extremely important. Essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way.
00:17:30.000 Now, Biden's State of the Union is on Thursday, folks.
00:17:33.000 NBC reported that he's going to ask the country, whose side are you on?
00:17:38.000 Remember, the guy that talked about unity and then called half the country, you know, essentially deplorables, like Hillary.
00:17:46.000 That's what they do. That was the, you know, crazy look with the red dystopian speech where he demonized and vilified half the country while talking about unity.
00:17:58.000 It's not going to work.
00:17:59.000 But America is not on Joe Biden's side, it seems.
00:18:04.000 He can say what he wants.
00:18:06.000 He can ask those questions.
00:18:08.000 Big tech, the mainstream media, can do their bidding.
00:18:11.000 But America is clearly not on Joe's side.
00:18:15.000 Polls came out this weekend from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CBS News, and even Fox News.
00:18:22.000 They all showed the same thing.
00:18:24.000 Joe Biden is losing in the general election...
00:18:28.000 And the country absolutely hates his policies.
00:18:32.000 Now, that won't stop them from playing the games and the Democrats will do whatever they can, although it's getting so bad, honestly, I think they have a harder time doing their usual cheating and their games because when they do it, I don't think anyone's going to believe it.
00:18:46.000 And that's the true threat to democracy, folks.
00:18:49.000 69% of voters told the Wall Street Journal, again, not exactly conservative these days, That things going on in this country, they're going in the wrong direction.
00:19:01.000 69%. And over 60% of voters told Fox that they disagree with Joe Biden's handling of the economy, the border, inflation, China, and Israel.
00:19:11.000 In other words...
00:19:13.000 They disagree with literally everything that Joe Biden does, and everyone thinks that Joe Biden sucks, which is fair, because if you've been watching and you're not an imbecile, you would realize that for yourself.
00:19:24.000 Except Joe Biden.
00:19:27.000 Expect him to lie.
00:19:29.000 During the State of the Union. That's what they do because there's no one that's going to call him out other than me and maybe a couple other people on Rumble.
00:19:35.000 He's going to lie about immigration.
00:19:37.000 He will claim that the system is broken and that his hands are tied.
00:19:41.000 That's a lie. Biden broke the system.
00:19:45.000 He reversed the successful policies and didn't even bother to talk to his Border Patrol chief about just that.
00:19:51.000 You can listen to the Border Patrol chief himself say it.
00:19:55.000 I've never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter.
00:19:59.000 And so I was the chief of the Border Patrol.
00:20:02.000 I commanded 21,000 people.
00:20:05.000 That's a problem. Guys, Biden never called him because Joe Biden doesn't care about the border.
00:20:13.000 He wants it to be open.
00:20:15.000 All he had to do was keep Trump's policies in place.
00:20:17.000 Just like liberals don't care about rising crime, they're fine with it.
00:20:22.000 Your lives will be miserable while they'll be protected by bodyguards.
00:20:27.000 A new study of so-called bail reform in New York showed that 70% of people released under bail reform were rearrested within two years.
00:20:36.000 Will this cause Democrats to change their policies?
00:20:39.000 Of course they won't.
00:20:40.000 That's their voter base at this point.
00:20:43.000 They understand that.
00:20:45.000 They will vote for the people who treat them nicely and let them go so they can rob your families again and again and again.
00:20:53.000 And finally, guys, Nikki Haley got herself a win!
00:20:57.000 She got a win!
00:20:59.000 It's actually one I'm happy to lose.
00:21:02.000 And you don't hear Trump say that often.
00:21:04.000 Nikki Haley is the queen of the swamp, and she won the D.C. Republican primary on Sunday.
00:21:14.000 I'm surprised anyone even showed up in a D.C. Republican primary.
00:21:17.000 But she should cherish this win because she's about to get demolished on Super Tuesday tomorrow.
00:21:24.000 So if you're a voter and you're in a Super Tuesday state, make sure you go vote tomorrow.
00:21:29.000 Send the message to send Nikki Haley back to whatever board seat, swamp position she's going to try to get herself on.
00:21:36.000 Whether it's Soros funded or Reed Hastings or Hoffman or one of the other billionaire liberals, whoever the hell is funding her right now.
00:21:44.000 That's what's going on.
00:21:45.000 But remember, folks, the D.C. thing is problematic but also very intentional.
00:21:51.000 Remember, this is the jury pool that we're dealing with in Washington, D.C., Jack Smith.
00:21:59.000 And the Democrats aren't even pretending that they don't know that, and it's not 100% intentional.
00:22:07.000 There was one very telling response to Haley's win that came from Democrat lawyer and hatchet man Mark Elias, who tweeted,"...in a city of 700,000 people, Donald Trump got 676 votes in the GOP primary." A tough jury pool.
00:22:28.000 See, he's not even pretending.
00:22:30.000 They know a trial in D.C. is rigged.
00:22:34.000 It's why they chose to do it there.
00:22:36.000 It's why even the Florida case had a D.C. pool set up for the grand jury.
00:22:44.000 and it has a predetermined collusion, which is what they were trying to do.
00:22:52.000 The collusion was a conclusion, and they knew what it was going to be,
00:22:57.000 no matter what, in Washington, D.C.
00:22:59.000 Remember that as we go there.
00:23:01.000 Remember also that Mark Elias is Hillary Clinton's lawyer and is the one who helped bankroll
00:23:07.000 Fusion GPS and the Nonsense Steal dossier, and he's on a mission to undermine the integrity of our
00:23:15.000 elections as much as possible.
00:23:17.000 None of these radicals care about the law or justice they want.
00:23:20.000 They want to destroy their political opponents.
00:23:23.000 And in New York, the state attorney general's office and Manhattan district attorney have been doing everything they can to destroy the life of former Trump Org CEO Allen Weisselberg.
00:23:34.000 They threatened him with 15 years in jail again.
00:23:38.000 Again. On bogus perjury charges.
00:23:42.000 And now he's gonna plead guilty to five months in jail to make that go away because a 75-year-old guy isn't gonna roll the dice with the rest of his life.
00:23:54.000 So they get him to say that he lied on something that's pretty clear he didn't.
00:23:58.000 And you know what? I get it.
00:24:01.000 But that's the game.
00:24:02.000 It's downright awful.
00:24:04.000 And it's corrupt to the core.
00:24:07.000 A statement from the Trump Organization itself reads, in part...
00:24:10.000 Alvin Bragg's decision to prosecute 76-year-old Allen Weisselberg for non-existent perjury offenses dating back to 2020 by threatening him with years in state prison while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the admitted and repeated perjury of their star witness, Michael Cohen, is the very definition of selective prosecution.
00:24:34.000 Because of course it is, guys.
00:24:35.000 That's what this was always about.
00:24:38.000 Cohen perjured himself so many times, people can't even remember how many times he's done it.
00:24:43.000 And yet, that doesn't matter.
00:24:44.000 He's the star witness, as long as it's against Trump.
00:24:47.000 But someone... We're good to go.
00:25:13.000 He was just arrested for his reporting on January 6th, which was before he was even working at the Blaze.
00:25:20.000 He's being charged with trespassing at the Capitol in disorderly conduct for reporting on the ground.
00:25:27.000 Think about that.
00:25:28.000 They're now arresting journalists in America.
00:25:32.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, but Vladimir Putin.
00:25:34.000 Remember, everything's Vladimir Putin, and like a week later, America.
00:25:39.000 Bastion of freedom and democracy.
00:25:40.000 Yada, yada, yada. Quotes.
00:25:42.000 Nonsense. Like, my eyes are rolling in the back of my head.
00:25:44.000 Start doing exactly the same.
00:25:46.000 What are we? Two, three weeks behind where Russia is?
00:25:49.000 Maybe a couple months at best?
00:25:51.000 Trump gets re-elected?
00:25:52.000 Maybe we can slow that down for a couple of years?
00:25:56.000 Are we kidding? Arresting journalists in America because, you know, they don't like the narrative?
00:26:00.000 Oh yeah, this works out well, folks.
00:26:02.000 I'm sure everything's fine. We're just protecting democracy or something again.
00:26:07.000 Whatever the soundbite is, they'll keep going with it and they'll keep making up more lies.
00:26:11.000 The feds even perp-walked them in handcuffs.
00:26:14.000 Why? Why now?
00:26:16.000 Why, years later, would you prosecute a journalist for being present and doing...
00:26:25.000 The job that no actual journalists have done in America, like report the truth or what actually happened on the ground.
00:26:32.000 Baker said in a statement, if you don't say the right thing at the right time and comport to the right narrative, that's what they're going to do.
00:26:44.000 It's wrong up here because I'm trying to read the quote, but it doesn't make any sense.
00:26:47.000 But they're going to come after us, and that's exactly what happened.
00:26:51.000 We're in dangerous and uncharted times, folks.
00:26:54.000 This is what they're doing.
00:26:56.000 Again, this is the stuff they scream about.
00:26:59.000 When it happens elsewhere in the world, and yet when it goes in America, and it goes against a conservative or someone reporting truth rather than the nonsense we all know, you know, again, I understand it was the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world by probably the most heavily armed populace of the world.
00:27:16.000 Magically, they've all forgot their guns, but no, no, it's an insurrection.
00:27:19.000 Keep believing that. Crazy times, folks.

00:30:04.000 Elise, great to have you on with us today.
00:30:07.000 Thank you so much for being here.
00:30:09.000 Good to be with you, Dawn.
00:30:10.000 I enjoyed your opening, and boy, you hit on so many important issues, whether it was the Supreme Court unanimous decision today or whether it's the weaponization of the government that Joe Biden is using because Joe Biden's polling continue to plummet every single day.
00:30:26.000 Yeah, well, let's break down all of those, obviously.
00:30:29.000 I think we've got to talk about, you know, a bunch of them.
00:30:30.000 I mean, were you surprised by the ruling from the Supreme Court today?
00:30:34.000 You know, the New York Times informed me that the 14th Amendment argument was airtight.
00:30:39.000 I mean, it was clear.
00:30:41.000 You know, you heard me sort of sarcastically talk about the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world, and yet...
00:30:46.000 It clearly is.
00:30:48.000 Peacefully and patriotically, make your voices heard.
00:30:51.000 I don't understand, but I don't have to these days because it doesn't matter.
00:30:54.000 There's seemingly enough powerful forces to sort of create the truth rather than actually talk about what actually happened.
00:31:03.000 No, I was not surprised, Don.
00:31:05.000 And I said a few weeks ago when CNN had to meltdown, I had the opportunity to go on CNN. I do not like going on CNN, but I thought it was important to talk about that this is weaponization and it's illegal.
00:31:16.000 And I predicted this would be a 9-0 Supreme Court decision.
00:31:19.000 And it was, because what the Democrats and the It is they are attacking democracy.
00:31:25.000 They want to take away the American people's right to make this decision at the ballot box.
00:31:30.000 And whether it's the Colorado cases or other states in the country that are pursuing this illegitimate, illegal act and unconstitutional act, it was important.
00:31:39.000 And I think President Trump's response was spot on.
00:31:43.000 After the Supreme Court decision that this is going to be an important case, an important precedent for the future of this country, not just important today, but protecting the American people, the Constitution, and who we are as Americans in our Constitutional Republic.
00:31:58.000 So I was not surprised, but I'll tell you who was surprised, the chattering class and the mainstream media.
00:32:05.000 Who all say the same thing and parrot the talking points, whether they're from Nancy Pelosi or Mark Elias.
00:32:12.000 So it was a good day for the Constitution and a good day for the American people, a bad day for mainstream media.
00:32:18.000 So you heard my opening intro, and again, I hate to do it because you'd love just to have a win and be like, hey, it's a win, that's nice.
00:32:27.000 I have to look at everything so cynically these days, only because I've been there enough to just not assume that anything is actually there.
00:32:34.000 Do you think some of the 9-0 win is so that when you get to some of these other cases, they can get more politicized and be like, no, no, see, we were objective over there.
00:32:48.000 But here, I just see that happening, where it's kind of protecting the sanctity of the court to be like, we're actually being objective.
00:32:56.000 Now, this one's a big one, I guess, but I don't think anyone who has any real sense of it thought it was going anywhere.
00:33:03.000 So do you think this is the way that they sort of try to rake you over the calls later on something else?
00:33:09.000 No, and I understand why you can be cynical, especially what your family member, what your father has gone through, whether it was the Russia hoax, the years of that, the fact that Democrats tried to resist the will of the American people in the 2016 election, whether it was the rigged 2020 election.
00:33:26.000 So I understand. The trepidation and just the uncertainty and the potential cynicism.
00:33:31.000 But I have faith in our Constitution, and it's going to be very important for the Supreme Court to stand up for the Constitution and, frankly, to ensure that we have election integrity, which we did not have.
00:33:44.000 In 2020. And that was why on January 6, I stood up for the Constitution.
00:33:49.000 And those of us that have spoken out have been smeared by the media.
00:33:53.000 We've been smeared by the cocktail class in DC. But we're going to continue to stand up.
00:33:59.000 And I think what is most important is Every single day, Joe Biden's poll numbers go down.
00:34:05.000 President poll numbers continue to go up.
00:34:06.000 We see he is in the strongest position when it comes to polling headed into the general election in every national poll this week.
00:34:12.000 And you're seeing in his campaign and House Republicans in my job as conference chair, we're going to make sure that we are on message talking about the issues that matter to the American people, which of course is the border crisis, but also pushing back on this weaponization of the federal government against Democrats' political opponents.
00:34:28.000 So talk about that a little bit in the sense that you've actually gotten very vocal these days, but far more the last year you've gotten more assertive, more aggressive on some of these issues.
00:34:39.000 And is it when they attack you personally, when they do the things that you do, when they tried smearing you for what I thought was one of the great Sort of needed-to-happen conversations before Congress with the universities.
00:34:52.000 You know, when you're asking, hey, is calling for the death of a people and cheering on people who raped and murdered people, do you think that's a violation of Penn or Harvard or MIT's code of conduct?
00:35:04.000 And all of a sudden, the left, who didn't seem to care about free speech at any other point in time, is like, no, no, no, it's free speech.
00:35:11.000 I'm like, no, no, no, there's a difference between a code of conduct.
00:35:13.000 You can't just do that. I can't You know, work at a company and go in and start screaming stuff at the top of my head and not expect to get fired.
00:35:21.000 There's a difference. And, you know, it was the first time I've seen the left actually defend free speech in the history of, well, time, I guess, or at least time, you know, post Trump.
00:35:33.000 But, you know, you've gotten much more vocal about these things and have become a great sort of actually, you know, attack person on it.
00:35:39.000 Tell me how, you know, you got there and how that, you know, the attacks on you personally perhaps affected that.
00:35:45.000 Well, certainly this is something that your father, President Trump, feels more than anyone else in terms of the viciousness of the left and the attacks from the mainstream media.
00:35:54.000 This goes back to impeachment hoax part one, impeachment sham part one, when I stood up for the Constitution and the American people And for what was right and called out Adam Schiff, I was smeared by the left.
00:36:05.000 The entire Democrat ecosystem attacked me, deported millions and millions to try to defeat me in that election.
00:36:10.000 And it really was an eye-opener about how this entire swamp, deep state apparatus will target those that are standing up for what's right, standing up for the Constitution.
00:36:20.000 So fast forward to today, because that was in 2018.
00:36:24.000 This hearing with the university presidents, I graduated from Harvard, I know you graduated from Wharton, and I was very, very concerned about the lack of leadership of the former president now of Harvard University, and I encourage the education chair to have this hearing to address the unacceptable rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:36:44.000 And I'll tell you what, Dawn, my question was actually the last question of the hearing.
00:36:48.000 There was no media in that portion of the hearing.
00:36:51.000 And it was three minutes that the most junior freshman member yielded to me.
00:36:55.000 I sit on top of the dais since I'm a more senior member and have been here for a decade.
00:36:59.000 And I asked a simple question to each of the presidents, starting with MIT, then Penn, then Harvard.
00:37:05.000 And that question was this, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your university's code of conduct?
00:37:11.000 And they epitomized the groupthink of the radical left, and they all answered, it depends on the context.
00:37:18.000 You put up three hardworking constituents from my district, a farmer, a manufacturer, and a suburban mom, they know how to answer that question.
00:37:26.000 It is a disgrace that the university presidents of what are supposed to be the most prestigious higher ed institutions failed.
00:37:33.000 It is now the most viewed testimony in the history of the United States Congress, with over one billion views in a week.
00:37:40.000 And it's now well into billions.
00:37:41.000 More views than the famous Watergate hearings, certainly more views than the Pelosi January 6 phony committee that Liz Cheney, my predecessor, who I defeated, served on.
00:37:52.000 And it's because it was long overdue, this reckoning and this earthquake, that really that hearing set off.
00:37:58.000 So we're in the midst of an investigation following up on that hearing, but I was proud to stand up for what's right.
00:38:03.000 And to really shine a light on what is wrong in higher ed and what is wrong in this radical left movement that we're seeing on college campuses and in society writ large.
00:38:14.000 Yeah, when I graduated from Penn 20-something years ago, I'm pretty sure that if I'd have called for that on campus at the time, I'd have been removed.
00:38:22.000 And that's before anything ever happened like that.
00:38:25.000 People didn't wear politics on their sleeves.
00:38:27.000 It wasn't a big thing on campus, even though it was obviously academic, therefore left-leaning.
00:38:32.000 That was pretty clear.
00:38:33.000 I sure as hell know that if I did it...
00:38:35.000 If I was a student there at Penn and I did something similar, I'd have been thrown out of my ass.
00:38:40.000 If I went after the trans community at Penn, it wouldn't just be speech.
00:38:46.000 It wouldn't just be depends on the context.
00:38:49.000 I'd be out on my ass, but they could actually sympathize with Hamas at the place where I graduated.
00:38:55.000 It's truly mind-blowing.
00:38:57.000 You realize they've fallen far, but I don't think people fully understand just how far they've actually fallen.
00:39:05.000 You've actually taken steps going, you know, the next steps into this investigation on the anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:39:11.000 What are the next steps? Because, you know, the hearing was probably enough.
00:39:14.000 The views you talk about, everyone sees how broken, how corrupted, you know, these, you know, formerly great institutions.
00:39:22.000 Like, when people are like, where did you go to school?
00:39:23.000 They used to be proud to say I went to Penn.
00:39:25.000 It meant something. Like, now it's like, eh, right?
00:39:27.000 Like, you know, if you can check a couple boxes, you'll probably get in.
00:39:30.000 Whether you can read or not is probably irrelevant, and they'll get you through one way or the other.
00:39:34.000 What are the next steps in that investigation to make sure this doesn't happen?
00:39:39.000 Because again, it's not just those three schools.
00:39:41.000 That's right. That's just a small sample set of probably what's happening on, I would imagine, everywhere but, like, Liberty and Hillsdale, in all fairness.
00:39:50.000 And we saw last week, Don, we had students from schools, not just MIT, Harvard and Penn, which were the three university presidents at that hearing, we had students from a number of additional schools, whether it was Tulane, Stanford, Berkeley, and they all talked about just the failures of their leadership and this rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:40:09.000 So hearing that student perspective is important.
00:40:10.000 But what are the important steps? Number one, I think we need to deliver transparency and accountability on those three universities because of that failed testimony.
00:40:18.000 So what we saw from Harvard is we requested documents.
00:40:21.000 They failed to produce them for the first time ever.
00:40:23.000 Congress issued a subpoena against a college or university because of their failure to turn over the documents.
00:40:29.000 And there is a sense of entitlement.
00:40:31.000 There is a sense of they get to live by a different set of rules.
00:40:33.000 And the reality is U.S. taxpayer dollars give nearly a billion dollars to Harvard, Penn, and MIT each individually every single year.
00:40:41.000 Let alone the tax provisions regarding their nonprofit status.
00:40:46.000 And these are schools with tens of billions of dollars of endowment.
00:40:50.000 So there's a lot to this, and it's not just the investigation of what's going on in relation to that hearing, but it's going after the offices of DEI as well, which we've seen at each of these schools.
00:41:01.000 The DEI offices, it is a rot, a moral rot, and it is inherently anti-Semitic.
00:41:06.000 In the case of Harvard, which again, I know the details in Depth because many of my fellow alumni have shared that information with me.
00:41:14.000 Hundreds of Jewish students reached out to the office of DEI. This is before the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack against Israel.
00:41:20.000 And there was not even a single response from the office of DEI. So now you're seeing class action against Harvard.
00:41:27.000 And that's going to be the case, I believe, for these other schools as well.
00:41:30.000 When you have students who are unsafe on college campuses who have been physically assaulted, verbally harassed, incessantly, and yet the administration doesn't know that each of these university administrations fails to protect these students.
00:41:43.000 So there is a lot here in the investigation.
00:41:45.000 And then legislatively, making sure that the U.S. taxpayer dollars, we should not be propping up these institutions.
00:41:50.000 The U.S. taxpayers don't support that.
00:41:52.000 The other piece that's important is the foreign dollars.
00:41:55.000 There needs to be greater transparency regarding foreign money Going into, for example, Middle Eastern studies programs with conditions regarding teaching anti-Israel curricula or the type of professors that are hired.
00:42:08.000 So there is a lot to this.
00:42:09.000 It is a long-term investigation that is more important than the hearing itself.
00:42:14.000 So, you know, I don't want to pick on you a little bit too much because it's your alma mater.
00:42:18.000 I get it. But didn't Harvard...
00:42:20.000 I read some article, like, some guy who was an African-American professor at Harvard was, like, tasked to, like, find out, like, just how bad the racism and all...
00:42:29.000 And he found out it actually wasn't.
00:42:31.000 I don't remember what the case was, but maybe it was about police brutality or something like that.
00:42:35.000 And they fired him.
00:42:36.000 Like, he did the research.
00:42:38.000 It was academic. They just didn't like the results.
00:42:41.000 So they literally...
00:42:43.000 Maybe his name was like Roland Fryer or something like that.
00:42:46.000 I was reading it the other day and I was like, I forgot all about it.
00:42:49.000 But like, so you have an African American who's a professor at Harvard who does this research study that they seemingly like asked him to do.
00:42:57.000 And like... Don't trust the science because we didn't like the results.
00:43:00.000 So they fire the guy.
00:43:02.000 I mean, isn't that like, I mean, it's South Park level insanity from, you know, an institution that we held in high regard for so long, probably much higher than we should have, including you and I. And that's why it's so disingenuous when they stood at that hearing and each of them said, oh, we stand up for freedom of speech.
00:43:20.000 They cancel conservatives every single day.
00:43:22.000 In the case of Penn and Harvard, they are second to the last and last.
00:43:25.000 Penn is second to the last when it comes to protections of freedom of speech.
00:43:28.000 Harvard is dead last.
00:43:29.000 I myself was canceled by Harvard.
00:43:31.000 After January 6th, because they didn't like my floor speech when I stood up for the Constitution and the American people in my district, I was removed from a previously quote-unquote bipartisan board at the Harvard Institute of Politics, which is now they don't allow any Trump supporters to serve on that board.
00:43:47.000 You only have to, you know, have the status quo groupthink of the left and the never-Trumpers to serve on that board.
00:43:53.000 So I wear it as a badge of honor.
00:43:55.000 But the fact that these schools stood up and said, we protect freedom of speech, we know that conservatives are canceled every single day on those college campuses.
00:44:02.000 And the example you just raised on was, yes, it was an economic study.
00:44:06.000 And because they didn't like the outcome, the results showed by the data, they removed this professor.
00:44:12.000 It was an African-American professor We're good to go.
00:44:39.000 I read she was an academic, I guess she did like some sort of like, you know, one of the studies, you know, whether it's gender studies or African American studies, you know, but they sort of one of these created, they weren't, they weren't things you could get a degree in when we graduated from college, right?
00:44:52.000 It was like, that's like a new woke thing.
00:44:55.000 And it's like, well, Any other professor would be fired.
00:44:58.000 Any student that actually did these things would lose their degree.
00:45:02.000 They'd be thrown out of school in an instant.
00:45:03.000 There's numerous examples of students that plagiarized far less.
00:45:08.000 I guess for her, it was in over half of the actual papers she ever did.
00:45:13.000 And she didn't do that many papers relative to Larry Summers or whoever was the president before her.
00:45:19.000 He did in one summer what she did in her entire career.
00:45:23.000 Academic's academic career, but none of that matters anymore because she checked a couple boxes for them and therefore was beyond reproach.
00:45:32.000 And that seems really scary because these are the people that are teaching our kids.
00:45:36.000 These are the people that are creating the next generation.
00:45:39.000 You're the exception, but of course, they threw you off the bipartisan board.
00:45:44.000 They just want robots that regurgitate the narrative, and I guess that's enough to get you through Harvard.
00:45:49.000 And you know what? That was epitomized at the hearing when they literally verbatim answered the question the same exact way.
00:45:54.000 It depends on the context.
00:45:56.000 They were all prepped by the same attorney.
00:45:57.000 But to me, that, as I said, epitomizes what is happening, the moral rot and the intellectual rot, frankly, at these higher ed institutions.
00:46:05.000 And you're exactly right about what is happening at Harvard.
00:46:08.000 When she was chosen as the university president, it was the shortest selection process.
00:46:12.000 Typically, it is very robust.
00:46:14.000 They look at all the academic publications.
00:46:16.000 You're typically a leader in your academic field.
00:46:19.000 And when you compare it to her predecessors, whether it was Drew Faust, whether it was Larry Summers, Who is a, you know, a very preeminent economist, who is a registered Democrat, who was a strong leader.
00:46:28.000 He was university president when I was there.
00:46:30.000 The faculty ran him out because he wouldn't toe the line.
00:46:34.000 And compared to what Claudine Gay said, though, what Larry Summer said, which he talked about how young girls are more likely to play with dolls, whereas boys are more likely to play with trucks and trains.
00:46:44.000 But the context of his speech was he was talking about encouraging women to pursue STEM. Harvard faculty ran him out literally for that, so it shows how far these universities have shifted, yet they're protecting Claudine Gay, who wouldn't condemn calling for the genocide of Jews.
00:47:00.000 So it tells you so much about what's wrong with society today.
00:47:02.000 And to translate that to this November election, that's why I believe that Republicans, and specifically President Trump, are polling in such a strong position, because people know they can see through this garbage of the radical left.
00:47:16.000 So this Thursday, Joe Biden's going to address the nation in the state of the union.
00:47:21.000 You've heard him do a couple.
00:47:22.000 You heard all of my fathers.
00:47:24.000 What do you think he's going to say on Thursday?
00:47:28.000 It feels like every speech he's given has always been divisive.
00:47:31.000 I guess he'll try to bring that back if he can, and the media will try to say, it was a great speech for unity.
00:47:36.000 Whatever they can to help him You know, let's call it barely stumble through either the speech or this election process.
00:47:44.000 You know, what do you think is going to happen there?
00:47:45.000 And what do you think is going to be the sort of natural response?
00:47:48.000 Well, we're already seeing from the White House that they are attempting to use this as an opportunity to reset.
00:47:53.000 There is no resetting.
00:47:54.000 The State of the Union is in crisis because of Joe Biden.
00:47:57.000 People feel the crisis day to day done.
00:47:59.000 When I talk to constituents in my district, people are struggling with Biden inflation.
00:48:03.000 They're seeing their grocery bills.
00:48:05.000 Catastrophically high. And when you're on a median family income of about $50,000, which is my district, those increased prices, they are painful.
00:48:14.000 Add that to increased utility bills, increased home heating bills.
00:48:17.000 People are struggling. Also, the number one issue right now is the border crisis.
00:48:21.000 Joe Biden is going to try to pass the buck and blame Congress.
00:48:24.000 When everybody knows in this country, except the chattering class of the mainstream media, We're good to go.
00:48:52.000 Including individuals on the terrorist watch list.
00:48:55.000 So even though I'm in way upstate New York, it impacts us.
00:48:58.000 It impacts our community.
00:48:59.000 And in New York City, these great cities are falling apart because of the illegal immigration crisis because of Joe Biden.
00:49:06.000 People like Lake and Riley, innocent Americans, are losing their lives.
00:49:10.000 And yet Joe Biden has the audacity to try to blame Congress when House Republicans passed a Strong Secure the Border Act.
00:49:17.000 It's offensive to the American people.
00:49:19.000 So the White House is desperately going to try to reset.
00:49:22.000 There is no resetting this failed administration.
00:49:24.000 It is a crisis, and it's a crisis Joe Biden's making.
00:49:27.000 Yeah, you can't believe your lying eyes, right?
00:49:29.000 I will say, like, listen, I get it.
00:49:31.000 When I see it, and I say this all the time, and I think people get it, like, if I go to the store and I'm pissed off, or if I take my kids to McDonald's and I'm like...
00:49:40.000 Man, I'm not saying it's changing my habits.
00:49:42.000 I'm not pretending I'm something I'm not.
00:49:44.000 Again, I'm the son of a billionaire from New York City.
00:49:46.000 But if I have sticker shock, if I see how bad it is, I don't think they can learn their way out of that.
00:49:51.000 They see criminals being treated with far more regard than American citizens.
00:49:58.000 I feel like people feel they're second class citizens in their own country and that's because,
00:50:02.000 hey, New York, well let's give them $10,000 in cash.
00:50:05.000 They're illegals, they're doing this, they're not contributing anything, they're in hotel
00:50:08.000 rooms for free.
00:50:09.000 We're displacing people, we're taking kids' school gyms away, we're putting them in there.
00:50:13.000 And this is each and every state.
00:50:15.000 We're going to fly them all over, they don't have to have ID, that's fine.
00:50:19.000 You and I, you are a member of Congress sitting, if you didn't have your ID, you're thrown
00:50:23.000 out on your butt.
00:50:24.000 You're not getting on a plane.
00:50:26.000 And yet, it doesn't matter.
00:50:30.000 It's so obvious what they're doing, and yet, yeah, it's Trump's fault.
00:50:33.000 The mental gymnastics it takes to get there is truly impressive, but I guess it's not going to stop them.
00:50:39.000 And that's why it's so offensive when they tried to make Bidenomics.
00:50:42.000 Remember when the White House was focusing on Bidenomics as part of their messaging strategy?
00:50:46.000 That was inherently going to be a failure because Bidenomics itself has been a failure.
00:50:50.000 So you're right. You can't convince people of their lying eyes because people understand.
00:50:54.000 And as the White House tries to push and push and force people to support his agenda, I think they're going to drive people further and further away because people are seeing the impact.
00:51:04.000 Whether it's the crime crisis in the community, whether, like in New York City, they're seeing $15,000 taxpayer debit cards provided to illegals, yet people are struggling, Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
00:51:14.000 Another case that really highlights this America Last legacy of Joe Biden is you have school children, United States school children in New York who were forced to go home And the school was used to house illegal immigrants.
00:51:29.000 So the kids are learning online, which is devastating.
00:51:32.000 We know that. And it's all because of Joe Biden's border crisis.
00:51:35.000 So again, people are smart.
00:51:36.000 And that's why you see this in the polling every single day.
00:51:39.000 And on the issue of the border, President Trump leads Joe Biden by over 35 points.
00:51:43.000 On the issue of economy, he is Over 22 points.
00:51:46.000 On the issue of national security, he's double digits ahead.
00:51:49.000 On the issue of being able to do the job, he's double digits ahead.
00:51:53.000 So on every metric, President Trump continues to pull in a stronger position than ever before going into the general election.
00:52:00.000 So they'll obviously play their games.
00:52:02.000 The Democrats do that well.
00:52:03.000 They got sort of the free contribution from big tech, from the mainstream media.
00:52:07.000 But I think if Joe Biden wins at this point, I don't think anyone in America will actually believe it.
00:52:13.000 And rightfully so. I mean, you'd have to be a moron.
00:52:15.000 But what sort of campaign is Joe Biden going to run?
00:52:20.000 The polling makes it clear that the country's ready to move on from this awfulness.
00:52:23.000 And it's not Joe Biden's policies.
00:52:25.000 I think we've got to be very clear. Joe Biden is enacting What Democrats want.
00:52:30.000 They campaigned on doing these things.
00:52:31.000 It's just failed miserably.
00:52:33.000 But it's also different than 2020.
00:52:35.000 They can't... Well, maybe they can.
00:52:37.000 I guess they can do anything. They can get away with a lot.
00:52:39.000 But they can't just stick him in a basement and pretend, you know, oh, no, we only had three people show up to his speech because, you know, COVID restrictions.
00:52:46.000 You got to stand in the white circle.
00:52:48.000 It's a little different.
00:52:49.000 If they hide him in the basement now, I think it'll be a lot more obvious.
00:52:53.000 And there's no rational excuse other than he's incompetent.
00:52:57.000 Well, they're in a very difficult position because the key is, and this is for any campaign, whether it's for president or whether it's for members of Congress, you need to have a candidate where the more the American people or the voters see him, that the numbers go up.
00:53:08.000 You never want to see those numbers go down as they learn more about the candidate.
00:53:11.000 In the case of Joe Biden, the more they put him out there, his numbers continue to slide because he's not able to get through the day.
00:53:17.000 Look at the contrast with the border visits.
00:53:19.000 Joe Biden, his first time ever to the southern border, Compare that to the strength that President Trump showed during the border visit.
00:53:25.000 Joe Biden literally did not know where he was walking.
00:53:28.000 He's never spoken to the head of the Border Patrol.
00:53:30.000 So when they're trying to put him out there, it is failing and it causes his numbers to slide.
00:53:35.000 And I think it's going to be difficult for him to get through this State of the Union, which is an important speech.
00:53:40.000 And President Trump always did an exceptional job knocking it out of the park.
00:53:44.000 But I think physically getting through it, Joe Biden is going to struggle, just like he does getting through every single day or when they put him out on the campaign trail.
00:53:51.000 So I, you know, I think that we're going to continue to see those poll number slides.
00:53:55.000 And what I'm very focused on as House Republican Conference Chair is making sure that we're not taking the bait from the mainstream media to only talk about issues through the Democratic lens.
00:54:06.000 We are going to go on offense and talk about issues that actually matter to the American people that are unifying, securing the border, standing up for parents' rights in schools, Lowering taxes, lowering these onerous regulations that Joe Biden's put into place, unleashing energy independence, basically the policies that your father put in place that led to economic boom and strong national security around the world.
00:54:26.000 And that's why we have been much more unified, working with President Trump and campaigning as one team as we head to the ballot this November.
00:54:34.000 So talk about that a little bit.
00:54:35.000 I mean, obviously you're a congresswoman from, you know, sort of upstate New York, and, you know, that's a little different, right?
00:54:39.000 It's not—that's not Alabama.
00:54:41.000 There's people—it's a lot closer, you know, when you talk about districts in terms of—and yet it feels like you're able to go pretty hard on these issues that is harder.
00:54:50.000 Like, you know, people—you know, the people who watch it, and they're like— Why can't, you know, it's like, well, you're in a, you know, maybe not you, but there's guys that they're in a Democrat plus 40 district.
00:54:58.000 They magically win and they're like, they can't go all the way in or they're never, they're going to be out in two years.
00:55:03.000 But it feels like, you know, you've been able to go, uh, quite hard on some of these issues.
00:55:08.000 Are, are people even in places like New York that are going to be a lot more sort of left-leaning, uh, a lot different on these issues, uh, It seems like even they're seeing it because, again, you know, everyone was a sanctuary city until you actually had to deal with the problems that places like Texas has had to deal with for years or whatever.
00:55:28.000 Now that they actually have to deal with it, all of a sudden it's, hey, you know, somebody else could be a sanctuary city.
00:55:32.000 We really believe in it, just not here, somewhere else.
00:55:36.000 Let's get it out of here. So New York is an interesting case study because if you look at when Republicans have picked up seats, there are no other states other than New York and California where we've picked up more seats.
00:55:45.000 And what I think is interesting about that is those are traditionally viewed as blue states.
00:55:49.000 And people see and feel the result of Democrat policies both at the federal level from Joe Biden but also at the state and city as well.
00:55:56.000 So you've seen a sea change in New York State in terms of how we've picked up those four seats that helped us deliver the House majority.
00:56:03.000 Long Island, which used to be bluer, is now a sea of red in the sense that people are concerned about the crime crisis, they're concerned about the border crisis, and whether it's at the local elections or whether it's those seats that we were able to pick up in the last congressional elections, We flipped those from Democrat to Republican.
00:56:21.000 And I've had an interesting seat given my district.
00:56:24.000 So my district was the swingiest district in the country, Don, from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
00:56:29.000 And it tells the story of today's Republican Party.
00:56:32.000 My district voted for Barack Obama by 12 points.
00:56:35.000 No, sorry, by more than that, by 15 points.
00:56:37.000 And then it voted for Donald Trump by 12 points.
00:56:39.000 That was the swing in my district.
00:56:41.000 And, of course, we flipped it.
00:56:43.000 I flipped it in 2014 from Democrat to Republican.
00:56:46.000 Increasingly, President Trump and today's Republican Party does stronger and stronger in my district.
00:56:51.000 We have flipped every single county legislative seat.
00:56:53.000 We have flipped all the DA seats.
00:56:55.000 We have flipped all the county sheriff's seats.
00:56:57.000 Every seat that's been targeted, we have flipped to Republican in my district.
00:57:01.000 We flipped mayor's races, that where cities that Joe Biden won,
00:57:05.000 we just elected four mayors in those key cities because of the crime crisis.
00:57:09.000 And what does that show me?
00:57:10.000 It shows me that your father has grown the Republican Party.
00:57:13.000 President Trump has grown the Republican Party into working class people, hardworking Americans
00:57:20.000 who are the backbone of this economy and have been fundamentally left behind by DC
00:57:25.000 for far too long.
00:57:27.000 So I really have been able to see that firsthand in a way that I think, you know, where you come from.
00:57:33.000 And I come from upstate New York, so I've lived this modernization of the Republican Party.
00:57:37.000 And the media often doesn't want to talk about that.
00:57:40.000 They just don't want to understand that President Trump has grown this party, let alone the positive growth we've seen with African American voters and Hispanic voters as well.
00:57:49.000 So I'm a big believer that Trump on the ballot helps Republicans.
00:57:53.000 I am the voice in Congress that always says it is a net gain to have President Trump on the ballot because he will turn out voters.
00:58:01.000 He will turn out independents.
00:58:03.000 He will turn out people that maybe traditional Republicans have struggled with in years and decades past.
00:58:08.000 Yeah, I mean, common sense, right?
00:58:10.000 You know, the left does this thing, you know, if you're on the left, you're part of the resistance.
00:58:14.000 I'm like, wait a minute, like, if the resistance is agreeing with corporate America, Hollywood, you know, all of these bastions of power, Wall Street, I'm like, you're probably not actually the resistance, and that's the reality.
00:58:25.000 I mean, hardworking people in upstate New York have been left by the wayside by Democrat policies who've forgotten about them to enrich their, you know, Wall Street, you know, crony capitalists.
00:58:34.000 Like, it's It's pretty amazing.
00:58:36.000 And so they're trying to do that.
00:58:38.000 I think they tried to do that with Joe Biden.
00:58:39.000 That's how he sort of got the...
00:58:41.000 It's blue-collar Joe.
00:58:42.000 I'm like, there's nothing blue-collar about a guy that left Scranton, Pennsylvania at like nine, moved to the Beltway, basically, and has been a lifelong politician who's never...
00:58:50.000 I frankly never functioned outside of the world of bureaucracy.
00:58:53.000 Like, that's not blue-collar.
00:58:54.000 You can say that all you want.
00:58:56.000 Like, I'm more blue-collar than Joe.
00:58:58.000 I have worked more blue-collar jobs than Joe Biden in my life.
00:59:01.000 And, you know, the left will try to criticize that and make fun of it.
00:59:03.000 But that's the reality. He's not done a single one.
00:59:07.000 But, you know, because he was born in Scranton and he lived there.
00:59:09.000 I think I lived in Pennsylvania, frankly, longer than Joe Biden did in my lifetime because I went to boarding school for five years before college.
00:59:15.000 So, like, my nine years is about the same as his, and I think I actually probably learned something about blue-collar America during my time, you know, living in Pennsylvania and living, you know, at the time in Pottstown, one of these sort of, you know, American towns that time forgot, you know, industrial town that was collapsing by the time I got there because of the policies, frankly, of all of Washington, D.C., but a lot of the left that shipped that and those jobs abroad, you know, to save a couple cents on a widget by sending your American dream to China.
00:59:44.000 Right. And I think when you brought up New York as well, when you see just the weaponization from Tish James or the judge in New York State, hardworking New Yorkers, when we see a crime crisis and failed bail reform, when on one hand you have Alvin Bragg and Tish James who are letting violent criminals and illegals run the streets in New York, commit assaults and violent crimes, targeting law enforcement, assaulting law enforcement, And yet they're spending taxpayer dollars to go after Joe Biden's leading political opponent, Donald Trump.
01:00:13.000 New Yorkers are smart. They can see through that.
01:00:15.000 And that's why I've challenged and I've called out Tish James and the judge for their unethical Handling of this case.
01:00:23.000 But again, people are smart.
01:00:25.000 They understand this is the weaponization of radical prosecutors and of the government because Joe Biden's numbers, he can't win on his policies because his policies have been a crisis and they've just failed, the American people.
01:00:37.000 When you talk about relating to constituents, I think about my family.
01:00:40.000 My parents started a small business when I was a kid.
01:00:44.000 I grew up around our family's small business.
01:00:46.000 It's a plywood wholesale distribution company.
01:00:48.000 Neither of my parents had the opportunity to graduate from college.
01:00:50.000 They really invested in giving my brother and I greater opportunity.
01:00:54.000 And I was proud to be the first member of my immediate family to graduate from college.
01:00:57.000 And at the time I was proud to graduate from Harvard, but mostly I'm proud and have stayed a conservative going in and coming out of Harvard.
01:01:04.000 And that's a lot harder.
01:01:07.000 That is a lot harder.
01:01:09.000 It's like sending your kids to school in Hollywood and having them not be trans.
01:01:12.000 Like, it's not easy. It's gonna happen.
01:01:13.000 You just gotta fight.
01:01:14.000 So you're a rare exception, Elise.
01:01:17.000 Congratulations. But think about that compared to what we see with the Biden crime family.
01:01:21.000 You have Hunter Biden, you have Joe Biden's brother all having a Biden crime family where Joe Biden is the big guy.
01:01:28.000 10% for the big guy, which Hunter Biden just testified, it is corrupt to the core.
01:01:32.000 So when you talk about what voters are paying attention to across America, they understand that there is Biden corruption to the core, that there is a different set of rules if your last name is Biden or your last name is Clinton, and yet they go after hardworking Americans, and that's why people are standing up in support of President Trump, because they know if the weaponized government can go after President Trump, they can go after anyone, and they have and they will.
01:01:57.000 I think you're 100% right.
01:01:58.000 I talk about this a lot on the show, but do you actually expect there to be a Biden impeachment vote?
01:02:02.000 Obviously, you know, with Congress, you know, a one-seat majority, two-seat majority right now, you know...
01:02:08.000 At the same time, like, you know, knowing what I went through, you know, during the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, I'm like, there's never been this amount, like, there's, this is fire and they're trying to masquerade it as smoke as opposed to the other way around where maybe that, you know, this is so flagrant.
01:02:23.000 It's so obvious if it was me and DJT with the same facts that is Joe Biden, this thing would have been over.
01:02:29.000 We'd have been impeached and I'd have been in Gitmo, you know, three years ago.
01:02:34.000 Is anything going to happen with it?
01:02:35.000 Because it's so flagrant.
01:02:37.000 The media will do their thing.
01:02:38.000 Big Tech will do their thing. They'll pretend it's a non-issue.
01:02:40.000 The Democrats will do it. I don't think anyone actually believes it's not a thing, whether they're convenient with the results if you're on the left.
01:02:49.000 This is truly an affront on everything that there is about America.
01:02:52.000 We're making trillion-dollar decisions, and maybe they're being based on the fact that the Bidens are themselves compromised.
01:02:58.000 We're blowing everything in China, you know, just every dealing with them.
01:03:03.000 It's like America last, America last.
01:03:05.000 We're about to, you know, never-ending funding for Ukraine and this insanity that they can't articulate a response.
01:03:10.000 Like, are these decisions that we're bankrolling our future on, that we're going to stuff, you know...
01:03:17.000 Trillions more in debt on our children and their grandchildren that they may never be able to overcome.
01:03:23.000 Are they being based on compromise and we're not doing anything about it?
01:03:28.000 It just feels like we're also playing the game differently than the Democrats did.
01:03:33.000 Well, certainly that is the case because the Democrats think about it was a hoax.
01:03:37.000 Their entire Russia scam was a hoax.
01:03:39.000 impeachment was a hoax.
01:03:41.000 They shredded the constitution.
01:03:43.000 And again, it was politically weaponized against Democrats top opponent, which is Donald Trump.
01:03:48.000 In the case of Joe Biden, I believe we have what is the largest corruption scandal,
01:03:52.000 not just in modern times, but in American politics that you have the president of the United States
01:03:57.000 who is compromised, whose family has financially benefited illegally,
01:04:01.000 I believe from foreign adversaries and directly taking communist Chinese money,
01:04:06.000 which went into the Biden's, Jill and Joe Biden's bank account.
01:04:09.000 That was just testified by Hunter Biden under oath.
01:04:12.000 And yet you have the media not asking tough questions and brushing this under the rug.
01:04:16.000 I've been one of the strongest voices in continuing to push this investigation forward.
01:04:20.000 And the reality is, Don, when you're in the house majority and it's so slim,
01:04:24.000 it's the speaker who's gonna make the decision when we bring a vote to the floor and corral those votes.
01:04:28.000 But I have been a very strong voice moving towards impeachment.
01:04:32.000 And I think these are clearly impeachable offenses.
01:04:35.000 When you have a president of the United States who has lied incessantly to the American people.
01:04:40.000 Remember when he said he had no involvement whatsoever?
01:04:42.000 Yeah, none. I remember them screaming about emoluments with us.
01:04:45.000 Someone bought a cheeseburger.
01:04:47.000 We used to have to account for someone buying a cheeseburger who may have been a foreign national associate with the government, like Trump, you know, at Trump DC. We literally had teams of accountants to account for someone buying a cheeseburger, and we'd have to give that money back to the Treasury.
01:05:01.000 You know, China doesn't give a billion-dollar investment to a crackhead like Hunter Biden, like, you know, and that money doesn't just magically appear in Joe's bank account, and, you know, and...
01:05:11.000 No one believes that this is real.
01:05:12.000 They're not credible business people.
01:05:14.000 We accounted for cheeseburgers during the Trump presidency because they were going to impeach us otherwise.
01:05:19.000 And you have millions of dollars flowing to all of the Bidens, none of whom are international business people, none of whom can explain why they're getting it, all of whom are basically being said, it's buying influence.
01:05:31.000 It's so ridiculous.
01:05:33.000 The grandchildren are on the payroll of China.
01:05:36.000 The great-grandchildren, the ex-girlfriend, the mistress.
01:05:38.000 I'm like... I mean, it's clear to me, like, you know, everyone has a Biden laptop.
01:05:41.000 Everyone has probably more compromising information about Joe and or Hunter.
01:05:45.000 And it's just like, it's okay.
01:05:48.000 DC is fine with that result because they control it and they're all, you know, they're all in on it.
01:05:53.000 Like, they're all going to get a benefit one day down the road or they're all on someone else's payroll.
01:05:58.000 It's truly sick.
01:06:00.000 It is sick and it is flagrant.
01:06:02.000 And again, none of this would have come out if it were not for House Republicans embarking on this impeachment inquiry.
01:06:07.000 And I do think Jamie Comer and Jim Jordan have done a great job moving through this process.
01:06:11.000 And we're going to still follow every fact and make sure that the American people knows this because the media is not asking these questions.
01:06:17.000 It's House Republicans who are asking these questions to get to the truth.
01:06:20.000 And as I said, I believe this is the greatest corruption scandal.
01:06:23.000 I believe these are impeachable offenses.
01:06:24.000 I've said that for months, so it is nothing new in terms of my position.
01:06:28.000 I've said Joe Biden is compromised, and this is really an issue of national security above all.
01:06:32.000 When you have a President of the United States who is compromised from Communist China, who is received as part of this illegal Biden crime family entity, where every member of the family has benefited from our adversaries, that is unfit to be President of the United States.
01:06:46.000 And it is a compromise when it When it comes to national security issues and when it comes to being tough, which this president has not been, on Communist China, which I believe is one of the greatest threats that we will face certainly for our generation, and who your father had an incredible record on standing up to adversaries and showing American strength around the world.
01:07:06.000 Well, I'm actually going to become an artist because I'm told that Sons of Presidents can sell art at the level of Picasso in terms of price.
01:07:13.000 Half a million for some finger painting.
01:07:15.000 So I'm going to become a finger painting artist, Elise.
01:07:18.000 It's going to be wonderful. I'm going to make millions.
01:07:21.000 It's totally legit.
01:07:22.000 It's totally legit.
01:07:24.000 Nothing to see here, folks.
01:07:25.000 I'm going to become an artist tomorrow.
01:07:26.000 I'm going to become a Democrat donor with multiple meetings at the White House and the press says, nothing to see here.
01:07:30.000 Nothing to see here, folks.
01:07:32.000 It has nothing to do with...
01:07:33.000 I mean, again, the American people are smart.
01:07:34.000 They see through this.
01:07:36.000 They understand that if they put together art like Hunter Biden, it would not sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:07:42.000 Well, see, I even have some people responding on here that they would buy my art, so I appreciate that, guys.
01:07:47.000 Thank you very much. I do have a feeling, though, that no one in the live chat would be buying my art for half a million dollars apiece, outselling legitimately some of the greatest artists in the history of time, you know, for my first finger painting.
01:08:02.000 So, you know, let's make it clear that there's a difference, but...
01:08:07.000 You know, at least, what do you think, you know, you're out there every day heading some big conferences for the Republicans.
01:08:12.000 What do you think's the most, you know, persuasive message for Republicans to get out this election year?
01:08:19.000 We understand we work against, you know, sometimes it feels like insurmountable, you know, you're up against tech, you're up against mainstream media.
01:08:25.000 It's like, you know, people who aren't Just focused in on the reality who aren't that political.
01:08:32.000 They're going to get bombarded with that message.
01:08:34.000 Social media, big social is going to make sure you don't see anything and Instagram will censor you.
01:08:39.000 What do you think, though, is going to be the most important getting out there?
01:08:43.000 Especially for those Americans who, again, don't follow politics or maybe aren't paying that much attention.
01:08:48.000 How do we make sure they understand exactly what's going on and who's actually at fault for that?
01:08:53.000 What's that message to them?
01:08:55.000 That message is, and I say this at every event that I do locally, we always say this next election is the most important election in our lifetime, but this one really is.
01:09:03.000 People inherently feel that the country is slipping away from them, and you see the majority of Americans overwhelmingly understand the U.S. is on the wrong track because of Joe Biden's failed policies.
01:09:12.000 But also, the data point that I look at that I think is very, very concerning is, for the first time ever in American history, people believe that the next generation is going to be worse off than their parents' generation, and that's fundamentally un-American.
01:09:24.000 So if you want America first policies, vote for President Trump.
01:09:27.000 If you want America last policies, that would be Joe Biden, because Joe Biden has put Americans last, whether it's the border crisis, whether it's failed Biden economics, whether it's his just weakness around the world, which has put our national security at risk, whether it's shredding our energy independence, making us more reliant upon foreign energy.
01:09:46.000 Whereas under President Trump, we had energy exports and complete energy independence.
01:09:51.000 On all the issues, President Trump wins.
01:09:53.000 And that resonates with people, Doug.
01:09:55.000 I will tell you, people inherently feel the country is slipping away.
01:09:59.000 And they also understand that they're not going to let the media dictate that This election.
01:10:04.000 I think previously the media just was so, so biased that people have tuned that out a bit and the media is just so egregious day to day.
01:10:14.000 So again, people are tuning that out and really focusing on what is impacting their families and they see the crime crisis, the border crisis, struggling to pay grocery bills, struggling to pay utility bills.
01:10:25.000 So I think we're going to win on the issues.
01:10:27.000 I think President Trump is continuing to knock it out of the park in terms of his campaign and in terms of talking about the issues that matter and a stark contrast with Joe Biden, where they have no message.
01:10:37.000 Their message is one of dividing the country.
01:10:40.000 Their message is one of American weakness.
01:10:42.000 Their message is one of America last, and that's not going to resonate in this election.
01:10:47.000 Well, I really appreciate you being out there fighting this way.
01:10:50.000 Thanks so much for joining us.
01:10:52.000 Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
01:10:53.000 Let everyone know where they can find you, by the way, so they can see what you're up to and what you're doing.
01:10:57.000 The comments on here in the live chat are great.
01:10:59.000 So, you know, let us know where we can find you because we need more fighters.
01:11:03.000 Follow me on Elise Stefanik on all the social media as well as EliseForCongress.com and just make sure that you talk to all your friends and family to get them out to vote this November.
01:11:13.000 Well, really appreciate being here, Elise.
01:11:15.000 Thanks so much. And I'm sure as more of this stuff breaks, we'll be talking to you again soon.
01:11:19.000 So thank you, and I'll speak to you in a little bit.
01:11:22.000 But before we go, guys, what I want to do is maybe we'll do it at the end of the show, guys.
01:11:26.000 I want to play the entirety of my father's speech today because, again, I think it's just an important...
01:11:33.000 Okay, so what I'll do, I definitely want to thank our sponsors.
01:11:48.000 I want to make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing, okay?
01:11:51.000 Okay, because that's the, that's a big thing here.
01:11:53.000 It's without you guys, we don't get the message out.
01:11:57.000 So if you're on Spotify, if you're on iTunes podcast, subscribe there, share it with your friends
01:12:02.000 who you know this, you know, that use those platforms.
01:12:04.000 I think that's really important.
01:12:05.000 I see how many people are watching live right here.
01:12:08.000 I see how many likes, they are not the same.
01:12:10.000 I understand there's some trolls on here.
01:12:11.000 I've been watching them with a bunch of nonsense for the last hour and a half, but you know, it's fine,
01:12:17.000 but they don't have to do it.
01:12:19.000 But like, share, subscribe so other people can see it.
01:12:22.000 So at the end of this, I'll jump to locals.
01:12:25.000 But for those of you who want to see it, I'm going to play my father's whole speech.
01:12:28.000 Listen to everything he said.
01:12:29.000 I actually thought it was a master class.
01:12:30.000 It was one of those. He walked out of the room.
01:12:33.000 I was there. I'm meeting with him on something else.
01:12:35.000 And he's like, they didn't even put a podium up.
01:12:37.000 I was like, honestly, that was the best one I think you've done in a while because it's not curated.
01:12:42.000 It's you from the heart that matters.
01:12:45.000 People will see that. We used to see probably a lot more of that in 15 and 16 before we had an infrastructure and before all the political people get involved and try to shape everything.
01:12:54.000 And I was like, you know what? That was real.
01:12:55.000 That was good when he called out Joe Biden sort of directly, like, hey, let's fight this thing one-on-one on the issues.
01:13:02.000 You're not doing that because you can't.
01:13:04.000 I thought it was really important.
01:13:06.000 So right when I'm done with that, I'm going to head over to Locals, but I will play that for you guys so you see the whole 15 minutes.
01:13:12.000 I think it's worth the watch.
01:13:14.000 If you're already here, check it out, okay?
01:13:16.000 And don't forget to check out our great sponsors.
01:13:18.000 Go to 1775coffee.com slash DonJr, D-O-N-J-R, 1775 Coffee slash Don Jr.

01:13:28.000 Also, guys, get ready and protect yourself against the cancellation from Rumble.
01:13:33.000 Head to friends.rumble.cloud and sign up today for the new Rumble Cloud services.
01:13:41.000 How many businesses do you know that were thrown off of, like, Amazon Web Services?
01:13:44.000 You saw it with, you know, some of the big social companies when there was going to be a push with, you know, social media that was conservative.
01:13:50.000 It's like, oh yeah, build your Rumble, build your Rumble, and you're canceled.
01:13:53.000 And you're cut off.
01:13:54.000 Go check out the Rumble cloud services.
01:13:58.000 You're not going to get canceled.
01:13:59.000 You're not going to give big tech that power.
01:14:01.000 You can actually support a company like Rumble who supports free speech.
01:14:06.000 That matters. The other guys say that.
01:14:09.000 Until you say something that they don't agree with and then they cancel you.
01:14:12.000 And they throw out your business.
01:14:14.000 And you're scrambling to put these things together.
01:14:17.000 So the Rumble Cloud Services is going to be a big deal.
01:14:20.000 It's going to be a big blow to tech and Amazon and the other companies that make a shit ton of money doing that kind of business.
01:14:27.000 So pull that away.
01:14:29.000 Friends.Rumble.Cloud.
01:14:31.000 Sign up. Don't take the chance.
01:14:34.000 You think they're only going after Trump?
01:14:36.000 You haven't been watching.
01:14:37.000 You think they're only willing to go after Trump?
01:14:39.000 You haven't been watching.
01:14:41.000 So check out the sponsors, like, share, subscribe, download on Spotify as well as iTunes podcast.
01:14:48.000 And again, before we go, I wanna play my father's entire remarks today at Mar-a-Lago.
01:14:54.000 I sort of got there backstage.
01:14:55.000 I almost walked into the room.
01:14:56.000 It was kind of an interesting, but it's important that you hear this.
01:15:00.000 Watch it.
01:15:02.000 Give me your thoughts in the comments.
01:15:04.000 I'll come back and check out some of the later comments.
01:15:06.000 I want to hear what you guys have to think.
01:15:08.000 I'm going to play the whole thing and then see what you guys think.
01:15:11.000 But I think it's so important, and I think especially the compare and contrast, you see that off the cuff versus what we get from Joe Biden flailing with a teleprompter, and you realize this ain't the same.
01:15:25.000 This is someone that can fix what's going on in our country.
01:15:27.000 So check that one out.
01:15:29.000 Appreciate it, guys. Well, thank you very much.
01:15:34.000 I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today.
01:15:40.000 It was a very important decision.
01:15:41.000 We're very well crafted.
01:15:43.000 And I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which our country needs.
01:15:50.000 And they worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will We've spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now.
01:16:02.000 Extremely important. Essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way.
01:16:11.000 And it has nothing to do with the fact that it's the leading candidate, whether it was the leading candidate or a candidate that was well down On the totem pole, you cannot take somebody out of a race.
01:16:22.000 The voters can take the person out of the race very quickly.
01:16:25.000 But a court shouldn't be doing that, and the Supreme Court saw that very well.
01:16:30.000 And I really do believe that will be a unifying factor, because while most states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn't, and they didn't want that for political reasons.
01:16:43.000 They didn't want that because of poll numbers, because the poll numbers are very good.
01:16:48.000 Beating President Biden in almost every poll.
01:16:51.000 New York Times came out yesterday with a very big poll for us.
01:16:55.000 So they didn't like that.
01:16:58.000 And you can't do that. You can't do what they tried to do.
01:17:01.000 And hopefully Colorado, as an example, will unify.
01:17:04.000 I know there's tremendous support.
01:17:06.000 They brought our support up very strong in Colorado because people in Colorado thought that was a terrible thing that they did.
01:17:15.000 And while we're on the subject, and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president.
01:17:20.000 And not immunity for me, but for any president.
01:17:24.000 If a president doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president because nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make, in many cases, what would be the right decision, or it could be the wrong decision.
01:17:38.000 It could be, in some cases, the wrong decision, but they have to make decisions and they have to make them Free of all terror that can be rained upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office.
01:17:51.000 And some decisions are very tough.
01:17:53.000 I can tell you that as a president that some decisions to make are very tough.
01:17:57.000 I took out ISIS and I took out some very big people from the standpoint of a different part of the world.
01:18:07.000 Two of the leading terrorists.
01:18:09.000 Probably the two leading terrorists ever that we've ever seen in this world.
01:18:14.000 And those are big decisions.
01:18:16.000 I don't want to be prosecuted for it.
01:18:19.000 Another president wouldn't want to be prosecuted for it.
01:18:23.000 It had a tremendously positive impact.
01:18:25.000 It stopped everything cold.
01:18:28.000 And sometimes you have to make — they were tough decisions — sometimes you have to make decisions like that.
01:18:32.000 When you make a decision, you don't want to have your opposing party or opponent or even somebody that just thinks you're wrong bring a criminal suit against you or any kind of a suit when you leave office.
01:18:44.000 I have that right now at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
01:18:47.000 I have Rogue prosecutors.
01:18:50.000 And I have rogue judges.
01:18:51.000 I have judges that are out of control.
01:18:54.000 And it's a very unfair thing for me, but I'm serving perhaps as a sample to others of what should not be happening when you make good decisions.
01:19:05.000 And in my case, the economy was great.
01:19:07.000 We didn't go into any wars.
01:19:08.000 We totally defeated ISIS. We provided the largest tax cuts in history.
01:19:14.000 We provided The largest regulation cuts in history.
01:19:17.000 But think of it. No wars. We beat ISIS 100% of the caliphate.
01:19:24.000 And there were no wars. We did a job that was great.
01:19:27.000 But maybe I wouldn't have done that.
01:19:29.000 The caliphate defeating them was very powerful.
01:19:32.000 It was going to take four years.
01:19:34.000 It took me four months. But it was a very strong dictum that I gave.
01:19:39.000 I said, get them.
01:19:42.000 Defeat them. End it.
01:19:44.000 We were fighting for 20 years against ISIS, and we did it very quickly.
01:19:48.000 I don't want to be prosecuted.
01:19:50.000 In that case, it worked out very well.
01:19:51.000 There will be some things that perhaps don't work out so well, but I don't want to be prosecuted because I decided to do something that is very much for the good of the country and actually for the good of the world.
01:20:05.000 The President shouldn't have that on his mind, and he has to have a free and clear Mind when he makes very big decisions, or it's going to be nothing more than a ceremonial post.
01:20:17.000 You'll be president, it'll be a wonderful thing, and you won't do anything because you don't want to be hit by your opponent or hit by somebody else, because who wants to leave office and go through what I've gone through?
01:20:28.000 I'm being prosecuted by Biden, my opponent, because every one of these things, whether it's Fannie Willis or Bragg, these are local and state, but They're in total coordination with the White House.
01:20:43.000 You can't do that. It shouldn't be done.
01:20:45.000 I mean, a thing like that, in the case of the DA's office, they put one of the top people, maybe the second person, in the Manhattan DA's office to get Trump.
01:20:57.000 They had a Hillary Clinton lawyer leave the law firm, very prestigious, big law firm, leave the law firm To go into the DA's office to get Trump.
01:21:09.000 Pomerantz. Mr.
01:21:11.000 Pomerantz. So he goes in to become a prosecutor.
01:21:14.000 Worked for the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton.
01:21:17.000 Goes in to prosecute Donald Trump at a local level.
01:21:20.000 In total coordination with the Department of Justice, meaning Biden.
01:21:25.000 And then you have the Fannie Willis, or as she would say, Fannie, Fannie.
01:21:29.000 F-A-N-I, but Fani.
01:21:32.000 And she hired somebody who knew the person long before this horrible prosecution took place.
01:21:39.000 And she went out and she paid him an unbelievable amount of money.
01:21:44.000 More money than he ever had dreamt possible.
01:21:47.000 Much more money than other people that do that for a living.
01:21:51.000 He never did it at all.
01:21:52.000 Had no experience in it at all.
01:21:55.000 And they had, obviously, a conflict.
01:21:57.000 We don't have to go into that. They were able to get a lot of money because it was a high-profile person.
01:22:02.000 Me, I'm a very high-profile person.
01:22:04.000 So they were able to pay him close to a million dollars when he was not equipped to do the job, and she's not equipped to do the job, and that case should end immediately.
01:22:13.000 That case is so conflicted, nobody's ever seen anything like it.
01:22:18.000 And then you have deranged Jack Smith, who's a Trump hater, And represents all the Trump haters.
01:22:24.000 And he's going wild.
01:22:25.000 He's just a wild man. He's been overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court.
01:22:29.000 Went after other people over the years.
01:22:31.000 He's had great failure. But he's mean, he's nasty, he's unfair.
01:22:36.000 And the judges on these cases, they're all Trump haters.
01:22:39.000 Other than we have maybe one or two that I think can be fair.
01:22:43.000 But you look at New York, what's happened.
01:22:45.000 I mean, these people have tremendous hatred.
01:22:48.000 You can't do this to a president.
01:22:50.000 And again, I'm not talking about me.
01:22:51.000 I'm talking about in the future.
01:22:53.000 A president has to be free.
01:22:56.000 A president has to be, if the president does a good job, I did.
01:23:01.000 Some people would say a great job.
01:23:03.000 But if the president does a good job, a president should be free and clear and frankly celebrated for having done a good job.
01:23:12.000 Not indicted four times, and not gone after on a civil basis, and not demanded to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines on something that was absolutely perfect, where there were no victims, where the financial statements were absolutely flawless, where you have disclaimer clauses.
01:23:33.000 I mean, nobody's ever had a thing like this.
01:23:35.000 I wasn't given a jury.
01:23:37.000 And I had a clubhouse judge just come up with this number.
01:23:41.000 On a perfect loan and very conservative financial statements.
01:23:45.000 But even at that, if you look, the disclaimer says don't rely on the financial statements in any way, shape, or form.
01:23:52.000 Go out and do your own work.
01:23:54.000 The bank in question had the most sophisticated lawyers in the world, frankly.
01:23:59.000 A very top, one of the top law firms anywhere in the country.
01:24:02.000 And they can defend themselves.
01:24:04.000 What guys like Bragg and Letitia James and Fani, And deranged Jack Smith.
01:24:13.000 What they should be doing is fighting violent crime.
01:24:17.000 And that would lead me to the end.
01:24:19.000 I will say that President Biden, number one, stop weaponization.
01:24:27.000 Fight your fight yourself.
01:24:30.000 Don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election.
01:24:36.000 Our country is much bigger than that.
01:24:38.000 The other thing I say to President Biden, close the borders now.
01:24:46.000 This is not sustainable for our country.
01:24:48.000 It's not sustainable for our cities.
01:24:52.000 Our country is under siege.
01:24:54.000 This is a violent thing that you've done.
01:24:59.000 And many people are dying.
01:25:01.000 Many, many people are dying.
01:25:02.000 They die on the trip up.
01:25:04.000 They die going through the border.
01:25:06.000 And they die in our country.
01:25:09.000 But many of the people coming up are from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums.
01:25:18.000 Many are terrorists. You see it?
01:25:20.000 Many, many are terrorists. And I believe the real number that we have right now is probably closer to 15 million people.
01:25:28.000 And by the time the term ends, I believe, the President's term ends, I believe you'll be at close to 20 million people.
01:25:38.000 That's almost larger than any state in the Union.
01:25:42.000 Our country, it is not sustainable.
01:25:45.000 Many of these people are tough.
01:25:47.000 Many of these people are bad.
01:25:48.000 They come from some of the roughest countries in the world and some of the roughest prisons.
01:25:54.000 We have prisons in the Congo, in Africa, coming.
01:25:58.000 We have people coming from all parts of the Middle East.
01:26:01.000 They're coming from Yemen, and yet you are bombing Yemen.
01:26:05.000 You have to stop. You have to close the border.
01:26:07.000 You have absolute authorization.
01:26:08.000 You don't need Congress. I had the safest border in the history of our country.
01:26:13.000 And I didn't use Congress for it and then I built hundreds of miles of wall and the reason I built it and how I built it was I considered it an invasion of our country and I took the money from the military and the Army Corps of Engineers did it with me and we did a great job and we had the safest border we've ever had and now we have the most unsafe border anywhere in the world at any time there's never been a border like this at any country anywhere in the world they would have fought with sticks and stones to stop The horrible situation that's occurring.
01:26:46.000 Our people can't stand it and the people coming in really can't stand it because they're dying.
01:26:53.000 Many are dying on the trip up and they're dying in the country and also many of the people are criminals and they're doing tremendous harm.
01:27:01.000 I call it migrant crime.
01:27:03.000 It's migrant crime. It's a new category of crime.
01:27:06.000 They're hurting our country horribly.
01:27:09.000 And we've become a laughing stock all over the world.
01:27:12.000 So I say respectfully to President Biden, you have the authorization right now.
01:27:18.000 I did it. I didn't go to Congress and say, do I have the right to close?
01:27:22.000 I fought Congress on it.
01:27:24.000 Close the borders. You can do it right now.
01:27:26.000 You have everything. Use my policies.
01:27:28.000 My policies were great.
01:27:30.000 Everybody said it. Use my policies.
01:27:34.000 So just to finish, I have great respect for the Supreme Court and I want to just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly.
01:27:47.000 And again, this is a unifying factor.
01:27:50.000 Everybody now is together and they can go after me.
01:27:54.000 As a politician, they can go after me with votes, but they're not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who's leading in this case, but even if the person wasn't leading.
01:28:07.000 And I want to thank you all for being here.
