Just a. | |
| Are you all right? | ||
| Are you all right? | ||
| No, don't violently hurt them. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I'm just talking about like just like a smack. | ||

Are the police coming? | |
| Idiot. | ||
| There's a lot of dwarfs out there in Hollywood. | ||
| We all know the stories of the crazy midget orgies during Wizard of Oz. | ||
| Everyone's heard about that. | ||
| But this reminded me of something that happened in my family many years ago, about 20 some odd years ago. | ||
| My brother was in a fraternity. | ||
| His fraternity went midget tossing. | ||
| And this is where they put a midget in Velcro. | ||
| And then everybody takes the midget and throws the midget against the wall. | ||
| My brother was not a huge fan of this, but they were doing this. | ||
| He felt a little guilty. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| And they throw the midget against the wall. | ||
| And depending on how high the midget is, you get to drink a certain amount. | ||
| That's midget-tossing. | ||
| It just is, okay? | ||
| So I'm just, don't shoot the messenger, right? | ||
| So my brother comes home. | ||
| And I remember we were sitting, my sister, my parents, my brother, we're all sitting there. | ||
| We're talking about this. | ||
| And my mom was very upset because this is, and oh, and the reason you can do this from to midgets is because they're smaller, so they're packed in. | ||
| They don't feel pain or something like we do. | ||
| That's the way it's supposed to be. | ||
| There's something like that. | ||
| So they're more condensed. | ||
| So my brother comes, he tells everybody about this. | ||
| And my mom was very upset, like, oh, you know, you shouldn't do this. | ||
| You're belittling. | ||
| You're belittling the midgets. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And my brother's argument was, well, wait a minute. | ||
| They're making money for this. | ||
| So would you rather have the midget on the government dole? | ||
| Like, would you not want midgets to work? | ||
| Here, the midget's making money and does what he wants with that money. | ||
| And hopefully he can buy a small house and everything else. | ||

| Here is the illegal gang member from El Salvador. | ||
| And here he is in America. | ||
| And here's America over here. | ||
| He's here in America and he's doing some bad things. | ||
| Actually, what's something a gang member might do? | ||
| Might behead a giraffe. | ||
| So now the giraffe is dead. | ||
| He's here in America, right? | ||
| And now we say, oh, you're from another country. | ||
| You're not here legally. | ||
| You have to go back to your country. | ||
| So we send him back to his country. | ||
| And I'm going to editorialize a little bit. | ||
| He takes his friend with him, his other gang member friend. | ||
| I don't know if there's any evidence of that. | ||
| But now the two of them are back there and they're back home where they were born and where they are citizens. | ||
| Then this is Van Houten or whatever his name is Van Holland. | ||
| Then he wants to now illegally, by the laws of America, he wants to go in and kidnap these two poor illegal criminal aliens from their home and bring them back to America where they'd be illegal anyway. | ||
| Why give in now? | ||

| I want to tell you about a time about a month ago, I was at an Indian restaurant. | ||
| And I ordered the vegetable foul tracy, and I ordered the butter chicken and a little some mimosas. | ||
| And the waiter came with the bill. | ||
| And I was about to sign the bill. | ||
| And I was sitting with my friend. | ||
| And he said, do you know how to tip at an Indian restaurant? | ||
| I said, well, I just normally I give about 20%. | ||
| The waiter was just fine. | ||

And he said, don't forget to carry the one. | |

Respectfully, get the f ⁇ out of my country. | |

| What is wrong with Gavin Newsome? | ||
| Is it, as we pointed out in the cold open, that the lizard that lives inside him, that's in the humanoid skin suit, is actually trying to break free. | ||
| Connor, you're legal, right? | ||
| He will not have a free and fair election. | ||
| If you had balls, you could not sit like that. | ||
| Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. | ||
| Next year will be our last season. | ||
| The network will be ending the late show in May. | ||
| I blame that guy for putting on a shitty program. | ||
| And how do you know it's shitty? | ||
| Because at the top right there, who was his guest on the very show while he's announcing that his show is done? | ||
| It was Adam Schiff. | ||
| How about something entertaining at night? | ||
| Could you try that? | ||
| Here's a little picture compilation of some of his previous guests. | ||
| And yes, these are all MSNBC hosts. | ||
| And Phoenix's favorite one that we wanted to zoom in on was the Muppet Chris Hayes, who has no bones in his body, that little Muppet right there. | ||
| If you look close enough, if you can zoom in, if you have an HD camera, you can actually see the hand up his butt because he is a Muppet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I've just seen what's been available in the media. | |
| Boom. | ||
| Narcoterrorists go flying. | ||
| Will trying to demonize immigrants still work for him? | ||
| Whoopi Goldberg, a man who... | ||
| Kermit the Frog and Big Bird have met because obviously the Muppets, they're all just like Chris Hayes. | ||
| They're just fabric with a hand up their butt. | ||
| So obviously they exist in the same world. | ||
| He's the president's golfing friend. | ||
| He got the hostages out of Gaza. | ||
| I'm not changing a thing. | ||
| The one that I want to bring back, give me the picture of the Lando Lakes lady because they took her off the butter. | ||
| And did you know that if you took the Lando Lakes tub, the old school Lando Lakes tub right there, and you cut it, you could actually fold it in a way that her knees would look like her boobs. | ||
| Has anyone ever seen that before? | ||
| You could probably get an image. | ||
| I don't know if we can put that on YouTube, but people used to do that back. | ||
| That was before internet porn. | ||
| That's what you had to do. | ||
| Anyway. | ||

I woke up every day as a black woman who is queer. | |

| The other thing that this Sidney Sweeney is doing is selling her bathwater. | ||
| So we got it right now. | ||
| Joseph's going to bring it to me. | ||
| It just arrived this morning, and I'm going to crack this thing open right now. | ||
| Sidney Sweeney's bathwater here. | ||
| This is very exciting. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So this is it. | ||
| Sidney Sweeney's bathwater comes in a nice ball jar. | ||
| What is it that people do with this, with her bath water? | ||
| So guys are ordering this and we don't know what they're doing with it. | ||
| You like douse yourself. | ||
| What does it taste like? | ||
| It's that's pretty good. | ||

| Look at him. | ||
| He's just a Muppet. | ||
| I am telling you, he is a Muppet. | ||
| That is not a real person. | ||
| He is a Muppet holding in a giant fart. | ||
| And Saki, Saki, you are a government. | ||
| actress. | ||
| That's all you are. | ||
| You worked for the government. | ||
| Your job was to lie. | ||
| You were not particularly good at it, but you were good enough to then get a job on MSNBC to then pretend you're a journalist as if you have none of the opinions that you were lying about in the first place. | ||
| So I'm not going to pay much attention to you people. | ||
| And by the way, both of you won't have jobs much longer either. | ||

Congratulations, Mr. Kelly. | |
| So I have to say that for those of you that are not in DC, it was an interesting moment because we all thought, obviously, for those of us that are here, and I'm not just talking about the public people, I'm talking about the we the people people, the thousands of people who are coming here. | ||
| It normally would have been done at the mall, of course. | ||
| And then because it's freezing out right now, they moved it to the Capitol. | ||
| So it was really only the elected officials and then this small set of other people there. | ||
| So we were, the rest of us were basically left watching it either at Capitol One or hotels or whatever. | ||
| So I'm literally sitting in the hotel lobby watching it with a bunch of strangers. | ||
| But I can tell you that the moment that the swearing in was official, I felt something lift off my chest. | ||
| And I don't know that I've felt that since the day I moved to Florida. | ||
| And when we landed in the plane, I felt something come off of me. | ||
| And that's what I felt with this. | ||
| It was like, we can breathe again and we can be a serious, good, no, not good. | ||
| We can be a great country again. | ||
| We can be safer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We can economically be better for ourselves, for our future, for our kids, et cetera. | ||
| We can speak freely. | ||
| We can disagree. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I did get a little choked up because for a year and a half, however long it's been since he said officially I'm running, even though we now know that the moment he quote unquote lost in 2020, he was going to run again. | ||
| He was running again. | ||
| And he's been working to get to this day for four years. | ||
| Literally, he has. | ||
| But I got choked up because I've had a lot of fear, mainly fear for his safety. | ||
| And we know why. | ||
| Even coming here this weekend, once on Friday, Once everything changed and I knew I wasn't going to be able to, you know, I mean, selfishly in many ways, to be on the steps of the Capitol, which was the plan and to witness it. | ||
| I've never been to one. | ||
| Don't know that I'll go to another. | ||
| I thought, okay, with the weather, most importantly, because I thought, yes, weather and safety. | ||
| That's why there's many changes here. | ||
| The drone issue. | ||
| Like, I've been so fearful for Donald J. Trump and for everybody and his family for a couple of years now. | ||
| And so for me, that's why there was emotion because they had to have courage to push through this. | ||
| Donald Trump does not have to do this. | ||
| He didn't need to do this. | ||
| He could have been on one of his many golf courses, all of his properties around the world. | ||
| He's lost money by being president. | ||
| Look at all the threats that have happened. | ||
| So I'm proud of him. | ||
| I hope that doesn't sound strange. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, I think America's proud of him. | ||
| I think that's what people are feeling right now. | ||
| He represents something that's bigger than just that golden man. | ||
| He didn't have to do it. | ||
| He literally did it because he loves this country. | ||
| So that's why I was emotional. | ||
| And the fact that he got here in one piece, that was my biggest concern. | ||
| It's also nice when the hero's journey actually works, right? | ||
| So had he lost, it would have been like, man, he went through all that and lost. | ||
| Like it wouldn't have sort of existentially fit with the way we look at the world in some sense. | ||
| But because he won, and now I think we really will have this renewal, it's quite a beautiful thing. | ||
| But let's move on for just a second. | ||
| Let's get into some of the things that he said he was going to do. | ||
| So one of the first things he said he was going to do in the speech was declare an emergency at the southern border. | ||
| First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. | ||
| Entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. | ||
| We will reinstate my Remain in Mexico policy. | ||
| I will end the practice of catch and release. | ||
| And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country. | ||
| Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. | ||
| So I don't know if you can hear it coming through our mics right now, but there is a caravan outside blasting Queens. | ||
| We will, we will rock you. | ||
| Can you guys hear that at home? | ||
| Yeah, you think it's coming through a little bit? | ||
| I don't know what's going on out there. | ||
| But that kind of sums up what's going on in the city right now. | ||
| Before I get to the immigration stuff specifically, I just want to talk about the tone of the speech because there were two things that he did there that I thought were really interesting. | ||
| And I think it was very intentional. | ||
| He was really sticking it to the people over his, behind his left-hand shoulder. | ||
| It was a real sort of, you guys screwed this up big time. | ||
| And I think it was worth him doing. | ||
| I think it was an important moment to be like, it's your fault that we got. | ||
| It was basically like, I'm back because of you. | ||
| And I think it was important to say. | ||
| Do you owe back taxes or haven't even filed in years? | ||
| Now's the time to resolve your tax issues. | ||
| With the national debate around abolishing the income tax system, the IRS is pushing back by becoming more aggressive than ever. | ||
| They're sending more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more than in recent years. | ||
| If you owe or you haven't filed, it's not a matter of if the IRS will act its when. | ||
| Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand. | ||

| Don't let the IRS be the first to act. | ||
| 104% tariffs in China are not enough. | ||
| I'm advocating 400%. | ||
| I do business in China. | ||
| They don't play by the rules. | ||
| They've been in the WTO for decades. | ||
| They have never abided by any of the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades. | ||
| They cheat, they steal, they steal IP. | ||
| I can't litigate in their courts. | ||
| They take product, technology, they steal it, they manufacture it and sell it back here. | ||
| Never has an administration. | ||
| They're standing 400% tariffs. | ||
| What would I want? | ||
| Qi on an airplane to Washington to level the playing field. | ||
| This is not about tariffs anymore. | ||
| Nobody has taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no administration for decades. | ||
| As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough. | ||
| I speak for millions of Americans who have IP that have been stolen by the Chinese. | ||
| I have nothing against the Chinese people. | ||
| They brought great literacy, art, and tech to the world. | ||
| The government cheats and steals. | ||
| And finally, an administration, you may not like Trump, you may not like his style or his rhetoric. | ||
| Finally, an administration that puts up and says enough. | ||
| 400% tariffs tomorrow morning. | ||
| He'll tell you why. | ||
| Qi can only stay the supreme leader if people are employed. | ||
| America is the number one economy on earth with all the cards. | ||
| We will not have that forever. | ||
| It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall. | ||
| It's so nice to hear somebody competent on television who's telling the truth in a clear way. | ||
| You can nod along with it and it doesn't give you a searing headache. | ||
| I don't even know the host of that show. | ||
| It doesn't even matter, that woman, but she's like, what would 400% tariffs look like? | ||
| It's like, lady, think for a minute. | ||
| I know you're on CNN and you're not there to think and you're just an NPC in an interchangeable chair and they're going to move on from you in a year from now and all of those things. | ||
| But the point is not to tariff them at 400%. | ||
| The point is you threaten them with this. | ||
| Guys, this has been completely unfair forever. | ||
| And if you don't change the deal, we're going to tariff the shit out of you. | ||
| And then what's going to happen? | ||
| It's exactly what he laid out there, that Xi holds on to power the way anyone, any leader holds on to power. | ||
| You hold on to power when your people basically have jobs, when things are basically working. | ||
| But if suddenly they didn't have jobs because they didn't have access to our markets, Xi would be in a lot of trouble. | ||
| That is what is going on here. | ||
| This isn't rocket science. | ||
| It's barely Psychology 101. | ||
| Maybe it's like the first day of Psychology 101. | ||
| That's how Trump operates. | ||
| And you can probably learn most of the things you need to know about psychology just in Psychology 101 birthday. | ||
| Do you believe that Democrats have any real evidence that anyone in the administration profited off of the president's policies and announcements? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or is this just a phishing expedition? | |
| You know, here's the problem with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans is our whole system was designed to have checks and balances. | ||
| Now, Trump has designed an administration like none we've ever seen before. | ||
| He is attacking the very agencies that are supposed to have independent oversight of these kind of actions. | ||
| So we see him hiring people based upon their loyalty, not based upon their expertise. | ||
| The real group that should be holding investigations and accountability and even just oversight is Congress. | ||
| But is there any evidence, Senator? | ||
| Do you think there's any evidence that anyone profited off of these tariffs? | ||
| There is enough of an offense here. | ||
| There's enough smoke here that should demand congressional hearings. | ||
| You mean there's no evidence that Donald Trump did what he said he was going to do on Liberation Day, which was lay out these tariffs. | ||
| Then a bunch of countries come back and say, okay, okay, we're coming to the table. | ||
| The market starts freaking out a little bit because they don't know how many countries are coming back or anything else. | ||
| Donald Trump, the entire time, is telling everybody to calm down. | ||
| And I think he even put a post on Truth Social that said buy. | ||
| It wasn't a secret that when markets go down, that's usually a good time to buy. | ||
| That is what people do. | ||
| And then they decide, oh, enough countries have come over and are willing to negotiate. | ||
| So we're going to put a 90-day pause on all of these countries except for China. | ||
| But this is what you've been left with if you're on the left. | ||
| You have conspiracy theories when it comes to stuff like tariffs, like that he just laid out there. | ||
| It's a complete conspiracy theory that Trump secretly told his friends, guys, we're going to do this for three days. | ||
| We're going to threaten them with tariffs and the market will crash and you guys should all buy. | ||
| Like it's just nonsense. | ||
| It's utter, utter nonsense. | ||
| Now let me connect this to the Trump-Elon fight because I was just getting on the plane. | ||
| It was, we had a 1 a.m. flight back from Israel and I was just getting on the plane as the Elon Trump story was breaking and I was like, oh, God, now I'm going to dip out for 12 hours, no Wi-Fi, have no idea what's going to happen. | ||
| Well, it did get pretty nasty. | ||
| It subsequently has gotten a little bit better, but let's just dive in. | ||
| This is truth from Donald Trump. | ||
| Here's two of them. | ||
| Elon was wearing thin. | ||
| I asked him to leave. | ||
| I took away his EV mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted, that he knew for months I was going to do. | ||
| And he just went crazy. | ||
| Okay, that's on June 5th. | ||
| Then basically at the same time, Trump wrote, the easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts. | ||
| I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it. | ||
| Now, then in response, Elon tweeted this, time to drop the really big bomb. | ||
| Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. | ||
| That is the real reason they have not been made public. | ||
| Have a nice day, Donald Trump. | ||
| Okay, so let me pause for just a moment before we show you some video. | ||
| Look, obviously this alliance that Trump and Elon have forged has been unbelievable, almost unimaginable. | ||
| And I don't know that anyone has covered it more positively than I have. | ||
| And seeing Elon come aboard and buy X and put all the money in and go and give the speeches and do Doge for no money and all those things, it has been incredible. | ||
| He was one of those airlocks that opened up that allowed all of these people to get on board the Trump train. | ||
| So whatever was causing some of the tension here, and it largely had to do with this big, beautiful bill, and that Elon more than anything else felt, hey, we just did all this work cutting all this money from the budget. | ||
| And that's going to basically make it so that the deficit won't increase. | ||
| But now you guys, through the big, beautiful bill, are also spending so much that the deficit will increase. | ||
| That seemingly is what caused it. | ||
| Maybe it had something to do with the EV mandates, doesn't matter. | ||
| What I think everybody wanted at first was, guys, don't do this publicly. | ||
| Like work this thing out. | ||
| But I also understand we're in a bit of K-Fave in politics. | ||
| Like it's all theater. | ||
| It's like bread and crumbs for the masses and everyone enjoys the fight. | ||
| And Elon obviously escalated it to say the Epstein thing. | ||
| But I do want to say, and I think Elon has actually deleted that tweet already, just because Trump was on a log, if that's what Elon is insinuating, doesn't mean Trump did anything, right? | ||
| Like the whole idea of a honeypot, if that's what the Epstein thing was, that you'd get all of these rich people and everyone would have some dirt on them. | ||
| Not everybody has to do the disgusting thing. | ||
| Who knows what anyone knew or anything else? | ||
| Like I have no more insight into that than you do. | ||
| Anyway, it seems to be calming down a little bit. | ||
| hears Trump on that. | ||

Honestly, I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran, working on so many things. | |
| I'm not thinking about it. | ||
| I just wish you well. | ||
| Enough product placement and promotional stuff. | ||
| I don't know if you heard, but we bombed the nuclear reactors over in Iran. | ||
| A lot of people screaming about World War III. | ||
| I'd like to think that, as usual, I've been a kind of calming voice in this entire thing. | ||
| I don't think World War III is coming. | ||
| I think everything's going to be okay. | ||
| I wasn't calling for the U.S. to get involved. | ||
| Trump made a decision. | ||
| I think it actually was the right decision. | ||
| And as I've been saying all along, since Trump took over in January, you know, he deserves a little bit of leeway here. | ||
| He deserves a little bit of a leash because this is a guy who consistently for the last 10 years has done everything that everyone said couldn't be done. | ||
| This is the guy who does it. | ||
| He is the first mover more than anyone else. | ||
| He does the unthinkable things. | ||
| And when he does things, let's not forget, he moved the embassy, the American embassy, he moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. | ||
| First time around, 45 Trump, everyone said World War III is going to break out. | ||
| He dropped the mother of all bombs in Iran. | ||
| Everyone thought World War III was going to break out. | ||
| He killed Iranian General Suleimani. | ||
| Everyone thought World War III was going to break out. | ||
| So there's a certain level of hysteria that's kind of baked into the system. | ||
| It's not really the way I do things here. | ||
| And I think commerheads are prevailing right now. | ||
| And I think everything's going to be okay. | ||
| So we're going to unpack not only what happened, but a little bit of the media response. | ||
| Some of the kind of craziness, which I've, I'd say, begrudgingly been addressing in the last week or so as it pertains to the right-leaning online media, then the easy stuff that we can do, always smacking around the left. | ||
| And then we will end on a positive note. | ||
| And once again, just make note up top, fear not, guys. | ||
| World War III is not on the horizon. | ||
| Let's start with what happened. | ||
| I know you all know it, but worth recapping. | ||
| This is from Donald Trump on truth. | ||
| We have completed our very successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan. | ||
| All planes are now outside of Iran's airspace. | ||
| A payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site Fordo. | ||
| All planes are safely on their way home. | ||
| Congratulations to our great American warriors. | ||
| There is not another military in the world that could have done this. | ||
| Now is the time for peace. | ||
| Thank you for your attention in this matter. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Thank you for your attention in this matter. | ||
| That's the new line that Trump is going with. | ||
| And of course, on open source Intel, Fordo is gone. | ||
| Here, we're just going to run through a couple of the greatest hits just to get you caught up real quick. | ||
| Here's another one from Trump on truth. | ||
| Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight. | ||
| Thank you, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. | ||
| Then he tweeted out, as he has wanted to do, a picture of the American flag. | ||
| Certain people burn the flag. | ||
| Donald Trump, when he accomplishes things he likes to, puts a picture of the American flag. | ||
| And then he gave a big speech at 10 p.m. on Friday night. | ||
| Here's Trump saying that Iran's key nuclear facilities have been obliterated. | ||
| A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. | ||
| Fordot, Natans, and Esfahan. | ||
| Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. | ||
| Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. | ||
| Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. | ||
| Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. | ||
| I was supposed to have breakfast at 8 a.m. with Tulsi Gabbard, and it was canceled. | ||
| And I was like, Tulsi, what happened? | ||
| Turns out she was a little busy because Barack Obama's in a bit of trouble. | ||
| Tulsi laid it out yesterday afternoon. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Today we've released a declassified oversight majority staff report that was produced in September of 2020. | ||
| There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. | ||
| They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. | ||
| They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. | ||
| They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. | ||
| They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. | ||
| In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016. | ||
| They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be a years-long coup against him and his administration. | ||
| We're here today because the American people deserve the truth, they deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. | ||
| I don't know what the truth is, again, any more than you do, but I do know that she is a good person. | ||
| And what she said there is quite, she chose her words, I would say, quite specifically. | ||
| Irrefutable evidence. | ||
| She didn't say we kind of think something's going on here, right? | ||
| Like a lot of the stuff that was thrown at Trump, it was Trump. | ||
| Don Jr. had lunch with a Russian on the Upper East Side on blah, blah, blah, and Trump this, and Putin likes it, okay. | ||
| Irrefutable evidence that is coming from the head of national intelligence to create a narrative which basically would imply that Donald Trump was a Putin stooge, which of course the narrative really was to help Hillary Clinton. | ||
| I tweeted this out yesterday and I think this captures just sort of how much things change and so quickly. | ||
| I tweeted that video that you just watched right there. | ||
| I said the Dems could have chosen Tulsi to be Biden's VP and she could have subsequently ended up being president right now. | ||
| Instead, she's got Obama in her sights. | ||
| So think about how quickly things change. | ||
| Again, five years ago, this is a woman who was a Democrat congresswoman who was running for president. | ||
| She was the last one in when they all cut their deals, when Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie, when they all cut their deals to back Biden, which everyone knew there was something wrong with him, Tulsi was the last one who stayed in. | ||
| Tulsi was also, she also crushed, you remember that famous video, where she absolutely crushed Kamala Harris when it came to locking up people for minor weed offenses in California while also admitting that she has smoked weed. | ||
| And then a series of other times that she just banged up Kamala. | ||
| But the Democrats made their choice. | ||
| They took a man who they knew was mentally compromised and brought in someone that was polling at zero within their own party. | ||
| They could have brought Tulsi in. | ||
| Think how different everything would be right now. | ||
| Imagine if Biden would have had the years that he had, but Tulsi would have been around instead of Kamala. | ||
| So you would have, most people would have felt, oh, there's a decent person behind him. | ||
| And then if Biden had fully broken down the way that he did, imagine if they had put Tulsi up. | ||
| There really is a possibility she would be president right now. | ||
| But because of their, what would you say, their unending pursuit to go further to the abyss, they chose Kamala. | ||
| They booted her out of the party. | ||
| And of course, the rest is history. | ||
| Now, she had a map behind her, sort of a layout of the flowchart, basically, of what actually this Russia hoax was about. | ||
| I want to read some of the bullet points on that thing. | ||
| So we're going to show it to you and I'll read the bullet points because it's a little complex, obviously. | ||
| So the real Intel assessment, Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections. | ||
| Putin had no preference for either candidate. | ||
| Donald Trump wins 2016 U.S. presidential election. | ||
| December 8th, 2016, POTUS briefing polled. | ||
| Intelligence community polls product that would contradict Russia hoax narratives. | ||
| Secret Russia meeting. | ||
| Obama officials meet to plan Russia hoax. | ||
| December 9th, 2016, Obama order. | ||
| Intelligence community is tasked with new assessment to claim the 2016 election was hacked. | ||
| Politicized intelligence. | ||
| Brennan ignored and suppressed intelligence that undermined the narrative. | ||
| Deep state leaks. | ||
| Obama officials use their media propaganda to spread fake news. | ||
| Fake weaponized assessment that claims Putin developed a clear preference for Trump and aspired to help his chances for victory. | ||
| This becomes the Russia hoax. | ||
| Now, not only is she showing the receipts, but they're also taking hard questions at the White House. | ||
| So yesterday, CNN's Caitlin Collins started going after Tulsi and her intentions by using a comment that Marco Rubio, now Secretary of State, who used to be anti-Trump, Marco Rubio, made when he was a senator as it pertained to the Russian hoax. | ||
| And Caroline Levitt's up there with Tulsi. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Including the acting chair of the time, now Secretary of State Marker Rubio, who said in a statement that they did not find any evidence of Russian collusion. | ||
| But they did find, however, is very troubling and they found irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling. | ||
| One, are you saying that he's wrong in that statement that he made then? | ||
| And secondly, what would you say to people who believe that you're only releasing these documents now to improve your standing with the president after he said that your intelligence assessments were wrong? | ||
| I'll speak to both questions first on Secretary Rubio. | ||
| He put out a statement in 2020 following that Senate Intelligence Committee report, and he said what they found is troubling. | ||
| We found irrefutable evidence of Russia meddling, which the director of national intelligence just confirmed for all of you that Russia was trying to sow distrust and chaos. | ||
| But what's the outrage in this that Secretary Rubio did not say at the time, the Democrats were saying at the time, is the fact that the intelligence community was concocting this narrative that the president colluded with the Russians, that the president's son was holding secret meetings with the Russians. | ||
| All of these lies that were never true. | ||
| And he also said at that time, we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI under Comey, particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the steel dossier without verifying its methodology or sourcing. | ||
| Man, Caroline Levitt is just fantastic. | ||
| Did you get the clarity that she answered that with? | ||
| So you basically have Caitlin Collins from CNN saying, oh, well, Marco Rubio said back then that there was something troubling here. | ||
| And she's like, yeah, there was something troubling here, but he didn't know all of the evidence. | ||
| And now we have evidence that there was a plan concocted, except it was Obama. | ||

| Charlie Kirk, my friend, the head of Turning Point USA, radio show host, father, more importantly, husband, was shot at an event at where was it, guys? | ||
| Utah, Utah Valley University, just about an hour ago. | ||
| It looks pretty horrific. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff breaking. | ||
| I'm not even exactly sure why we're doing this other than I was in the studio right now because I'm going to New York early in the morning for a 9-11 memorial. | ||
| So we're not going to be live tomorrow. | ||
| I'm going to pre-tape some stuff for that. | ||
| And I obviously have to address this not just because it's news, but I know Charlie well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's been to this house multiple times. | |
| So we've broken bread multiple times. | ||
| And we've done dozens of the exact same type of events that he was just shot at. | ||
| We've done them together over the years. | ||
| There was about a year or so where we probably did about 50 of them. | ||
| The culture wars were very different at the time. | ||
| The world was very different at the time. | ||
| So I don't know exactly, you know, I just quickly did something with Russell Brand for our actual friends podcast because we were on air as it happened. | ||
| And what I said to him was, it's like, I don't want to narrate the end of the world. | ||
| That doesn't seem that great to me. | ||
| But something has shifted, I think, in the ether here. | ||
| And it's not good. | ||
| And we're going to have to figure out how to get out of this. | ||
| But what I can tell you about Charlie, maybe that's a better way to do it, what I can tell you about Charlie is that, you know, Charlie and I met when, you know, I was kind of leaving the left, right? | ||
| And then our world started colliding. | ||
| Charlie was this conservative influencer with Turning Point USA, and I was kind of leaving the left. | ||
| And then suddenly we were at events together. | ||
| We would say hi a couple of times. | ||
| We definitely had big political differences because I was still a lefty in a lot of senses, you know, and he was a conservative. | ||
| But there was an immediate mutual respect there. | ||
| And we did a lot of events together and we've debated death penalty. | ||
| I mean, we've debated serious stuff. | ||
| We've debated death penalty multiple times on opposite sides. | ||
| We've debated abortion. | ||
| We've talked about gay marriage. | ||
| We've done all of the stuff and we've done it publicly and we've done it privately. | ||
| We've sat next to each other at weddings. | ||
| He had coffee in my house about a year ago, came by for coffee. | ||
| What I know about Charlie, I'm trying to think of the last time I saw him was probably, I saw him, I think about four or five months ago. | ||
| We texted a couple weeks ago. | ||
| I saw him about four or five months ago actually at Mar-a-Lago for a Prague event. | ||
| And Charlie, you know, look, he liked being in the fight. | ||
| It likes being in the fight, I should say. | ||
| He likes arguing. | ||
| He likes making the point. | ||
| He likes pointing out the hypocrisy. | ||
| He likes doing all that. | ||
| And sometimes he does it with a little bit of a flamethrower. | ||
| Not as much as many in the media portray him as. | ||
| But he likes fighting for America. | ||
| He likes fighting for what he believes in, his values, and all of those things. | ||
| And he did it honestly. | ||
| And that's why I always liked him. | ||
| At that time, doing this wrong. | ||
| That's why I've always liked him. | ||
| Because we would always put our differences aside at the end, right? | ||
| Like, and we would go to these events at these colleges, and mostly when we were doing this around 2019, 20, something like that, you know, there would be massive protests outside. | ||
| There would be people throwing things at us. | ||
| We'd have police escorts. | ||
| Like for Charlie, he was doing it a little bit before me, so it was kind of like old hat to him. | ||
| But I remember one of the first ones that I did with him. | ||
| And like, I wasn't used to showing up somewhere. | ||
| I was a good guy on the left. | ||
| So I wasn't used to showing up to a college where I was going to be protested and people, somebody dumped hot coffee on me on one of these things, or we'd have to literally be dragged out back doors because they were pounding on the doors or venues had to be moved. | ||
| There's a famous video that I did, I think, at the University of New Hampshire that's been seen millions of times. | ||
| I was supposed to be doing an event there with Charlie and Candace Owens, and the two of them canceled for whatever reason that day. | ||
| So it was just me there and like thousands of protesters. | ||
| They were really there, I think, to protest Charlie, but then, and they probably didn't even know that much about me. | ||
| I wasn't as radical at the time. | ||
| But thousands of protesters there, like shouting me down and pulling firearms and throwing things and interrupting. | ||
| And what has this all led to? | ||
| Well, what has it all led to? | ||
| I suppose it has led to what we just saw this afternoon just moments ago. | ||
| So I'm just praying for, and I think all you can do is pray for a human being right now. | ||
| It does not matter if someone has polar, who completely polar opposite views than you, right? | ||
| I do it every day on the show. | ||
| I make fun of these people. | ||
| I try to do it with a little bit of humor, right? | ||
| Because if I was to just like analyze all of their bad ideas over and over, I'd kind of go crazy. | ||
| I don't think I would want to do this. | ||
| So I do it. | ||
| I try to do it with as much like hits and over the top and sarcasm and all that stuff as possible. | ||
| But it was always the danger. | ||
| It was always the danger if you called everybody Nazis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What would you do if you call that guy Hitler enough? | |
| What do you think somebody might do if they actually started to believe that? | ||
| And that's the dangerous position that we have put ourselves in. | ||
| We live through this with Trump, who thankfully lived through his assassination attempt. | ||
| And we can only pray that Charlie will live through this assassination attempt. | ||
| But if we don't really start thinking about how we're going to do this better, and I know there's a lot of forces that don't want it to be better. | ||
| There are forces that are outside of this country that don't want it to be better here. | ||
| There are forces in this country that don't want it to be better here. | ||
| I can only speak to those of you who want it to be better. | ||
| And I think, and I actually do think that's most people. | ||
| But how you reach them, how you really, you know, if most of us are just kind of, all right, let's live and let live, you know, let's try it that way. | ||
| And let's accept that there's some differences. | ||
| And that's why we have states' rights. | ||
| And that's what individual choice is all about. | ||
| And that's what the pursuit of happiness, that's what the whole thing is all about. | ||
| Like, that's great if a certain amount of people believe that. | ||
| And then what do you do when there's this other set of people who have been so broken into believing that you're evil for that and that you want, that they want your stuff now where they won't let you alone? | ||
| Like live and let live is great, but it's a mutual exchange. | ||
| There has to be something common, common. | ||
| It has to be common enough that enough people will say it and then operate within that. | ||
| But if you and your people say live and let live, and then there's another force that's out there that's unrelenting and trying to take that away from you, I don't know what you do about that. | ||
| But I know that Charlie fought for the things that he believed in honestly, imperfectly and honestly. | ||
| We still have our political differences. | ||
| And who the hell cares? | ||
| Who the hell cares? | ||
| Government has shut down, and yet somehow Dinesh D'Souza was able to get on a plane. | ||
| You were able to get to a hotel. | ||
| You were able to get in a car. | ||
| You made it here. | ||
| Things seem to be going okay. | ||
| And now they've, I love this clip because they've given the Trump administration an excuse to fire a bunch of people who probably don't deserve to have jobs in the first place. | ||
| Here's Carolyn Levitt. | ||
| Well, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. | ||
| And it's because the Democrats have put us into this position. | ||
| If the Democrats did not vote to shut down the government, we would not be standing up here talking about layoffs today. | ||
| We'd be talking about all the other news stories going on in the world in our country. | ||
| We'd be talking about all of the great things that this administration is doing to uplift Americans across the country. | ||
| But unfortunately, the Vice President of the United States and I have to come out here today to talk about a government shutdown that the Democrats put us in this position. | ||
| And a second question for Joey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to clarify the timing of these potential layoffs to federal workers. | |
| You said imminent. | ||
| The vice president seemed to say in a couple of days. | ||
| It looks like Russ Vogue maybe said in two days. | ||
| When would these layoffs begin? | ||
| Two days imminent? | ||
| Very soon. | ||
| You will expect more announcements right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it just not clear, or are you waiting? | |
| No, it's not unclear. | ||
| All of those things are very synonymous with one another. | ||
| These rifts are unfortunately going to have to happen very soon. | ||
| All right, so there's something particularly interesting to me about this, which is that we go through this every couple years. | ||
| The government shuts down. | ||
| Everyone blames the other side. | ||
| It's Republican administrations. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| We've all been through that. | ||
| The fact that they are now talking about permanent layoffs, meaning we are going to find out who is non-essential, which is a phrase which is really sort of, you know, 1984 Orwellian phrase, non-essential, why do you have the job in the first place? | ||
| But that basically the Trump administration is using the shutdown as a way of cutting more of the fat that clearly the American people want post-Doge. | ||
| So this seems all good to me. | ||
| I don't see any downside to what's happening right now. | ||
| There's absolutely none. | ||
| I mean, the difference here is that the Republicans have the will to do something that they've never had the will to do before. | ||
| The reason that the shutdowns worked politically for the Democrats in the past is that the Democrats could always appeal to, you're shutting down the government. | ||
| And Republicans would immediately go, yeah, I know, I know, but we're trying to get a blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Whereas this time it's kind of like tee hee hee, you know, yeah, we're shutting down the government. | ||
| You're actually giving us a chance to do what we have long wanted to do. | ||
| So there's a little bit when my only disagreement with Carolyn Liebitt is she uses the word unfortunately. | ||
| It's actually extremely fortunate. | ||
| I think she's kind of being sorry. | ||
| Yeah, no, no, exactly. | ||
| We are very against our will. | ||
| We are slashing the size of government. | ||
| No, I think this is all the new unleashed Trump. | ||
| After the way they went after him, he's just a different guy. | ||
| I don't think he would have done this in the first term. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, right. | |
| So there's a couple things. | ||
| You're probably right. | ||
| He's leveled up for sure, you know, Trump 2.0 or whatever you want to call it. | ||
| But then it's also to the backdrop of, I don't know, after COVID, after Inflation Reduction Act, after all these ridiculous things that the government did, people just don't care as much about the government. | ||
| You know, the libertarians who don't get much right politically, like the ideology actually started to stick, I think, in some people's brains. | ||
| Yeah, and then, you know, the press, which generally has been the main instrument of attacking the Republicans, you know, they're reduced to now saying things like, well, you know, Dave and Dinesh, if you guys are hiking in Yellowstone, you know, the bathrooms may not really be working because the federal workers are, you know, laid off. | ||
| And I'm like, it's Yellowstone. | ||
| I mean, I'm from India. | ||
| Go anywhere. | ||
| I mean, isn't that why they call it Yellowstone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's the type of importing of culture that's a bit much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| This is perhaps. | ||
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| You did use the bathroom before. | ||
| They told you that. | ||
| I certainly did. | ||
| I certainly did. | ||
| But okay, so the thing that the Democrats, well, the other tactic that they have, of course, is not just that the bathrooms won't work, but that everyone's going to die. | ||
| That's a big one. | ||
| Birdie's doing it. | ||
| AOC is doing it. | ||
| Millions are going to die. | ||
| But we've been through this all before, and I don't think anyone's buying it anymore. | ||
| A lot of this seems to have to do with the fact that they, part of what the Democrats want is to keep illegals on our health care. | ||
| And people voted for Trump for the exact opposite of that. | ||
| This is a spectacular moment. | ||
| This is on Fox News in the morning. | ||
| Lawrence Jones talking to a senator from New Hampshire, Gene Shaheen, about supporting health care for illegals. | ||
| I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance marketplace. | ||
| I'm so glad you said that. | ||
| Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic Party members saying this on the debate stay. | ||
| So they've all said, and let's play the clip. | ||
| A lot of you have been talking tonight about these government health care plans that you've proposed in one form or another. | ||
| This is a show of hands question. | ||
| And hold them up for a moment so people can see. | ||
| Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. | ||
| Senator Nett, that's literally every member of your party, from moderate to more progressive, that have said that in the past. | ||
|

|
Department to find the criminal conspiracy. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I'm just giving. | ||
| I was just given a note by the Secretary of State saying that we're very close to a deal in the Middle East, and they're going to need me pretty quickly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I will take a couple of more questions. | |
| Okay, and let's just continue. | ||
| Before I editorialize this from Donald Trump on truth, I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of our peace plan. | ||
| This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed-upon line as the first steps towards a strong, durable, and everlasting peace. | ||
| All parties will be treated fairly. | ||
| This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations, and the United States of America. | ||
| And we thank mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event happen. | ||
| Blessed are the peacemakers. | ||
| Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. | ||
| So, okay, the agreement has been signed. | ||
| The hostages will be coming out. | ||
| And there is still, it's still a little bit unclear, I think, as to how many of them. | ||
| It sounds like 20 of them are probably alive and remains, I think, of 48. | ||
| I mean, it's going to be messy and sort of grotesque and everything else, some of the images that we are going to see. | ||
| But then Israel at the same time will move their troops back. | ||
| They're not going back to the original border with Gaza. | ||
| There is definitely going to be some sort of either demilitarized zone or buffer or something. | ||
| But things are actually in the works. | ||
| And 100% of the credit here goes to Donald Trump. | ||
| Whether you hate Trump, whether you love Trump, whether you don't care about the Middle East, whether you deeply care about the Middle East, this is the guy who is making the unthinkable, intractable thing come to an end. | ||
| A bit more from the Daily Wire and what may happen over the next couple of days. | ||
| Trump will be traveling to Israel in the coming days, he told Axios reporter Barack Rabid. | ||
| The president says he may give a speech in the Knesset as well. | ||
| Negotiators for Israel and terror group Hamas have huddled in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, for days with mediators to hammer out an agreement on the first phase of the U.S.-backed framework for peace in Gaza and a pathway to Palestinian state. | ||
| The first phase of the deal will be presented to the Israeli cabinet on Thursday for approval. | ||
| As part of the first phase, Hamas plans to release the 20 living hostages this weekend, according to the Associated Press. | ||
| Hamas is responsible for the bodies of 28 dead hostages, though it is unclear whether the terror group can locate and retrieve them. | ||
| Once the Israeli cabinet approves the agreement, the terror group has 72 hours to return the hostages. | ||
| A senior White House official told CBS News that the Israeli cabinet would vote on the deal tomorrow. | ||
| Once they vote yes, Israel has to withdraw to the line, which should take under 24 hours. | ||
| So the next move here is on Hamas. | ||
| Release the hostages that are living, release the hostage, the remains of the hostages who are dead, and then Israel will move back. | ||
| Again, not to the original border with Gaza, but some sort of agreed new, at least temporary buffer zone or something like that. | ||
| Let me show you two videos here that really dive into all of the specific points, and then we can kind of whittle away at each one. | ||
| This is Brian Kilmead on Fox going through each. | ||
| There's about 20 points. | ||
| We'll do a few less of them, but here's the main stuff. | ||
| Let's go over it so you have an understanding of what they perhaps framed out over in Cairo, Egypt. | ||
| War will end immediately. | ||
| So the fighting that's still continuing. | ||
| We saw smoke coming out of Gaza will cease. | ||
| I don't think that'll be much of a problem. | ||
| All hostages alive are deceased to be returned within 24, 72 hours. | ||
| We don't know when the clock actually starts ticking, but let's say Monday, at which time you'll have 20 plus alive and over 50 bodies collected. | ||
| Right now, right now, that's taking place, we understand, between all the different factions. | ||
| There are groups that are holding hostages that are not members of Hamas, but have the same militant mindset. | ||
| Israel released 250 people with life sentences. | ||
| That means more than likely they have killed before. | ||
| Think about how difficult that is. | ||
| 1,700 Gazans, some people have been captured during this fighting. | ||
| Keep in mind, Yahya Sinwar was one of the people that was exchanged for one hostage last time. | ||
| He ends up being the architect of the October 7th attack. | ||
| Thankfully, him and his brother are dead. | ||
| Hamas members could be given amnesty if they decommission their weapons and agree to give up their rockets. | ||
| That was the sticking point yesterday. | ||
| We believe somehow they overcame it. | ||
| Okay, so you can see there's a lot of layers here, and that's why I said up top. | ||
| It's like none of us should be like over the top. | ||
| Oh my God, this is true peace. | ||
| This is all going to be perfect. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But you should be sort of, you should be sober in your positivity. | ||
| I think that's what it is. | ||
| It's like, this really is it. | ||
| Like, if Hamas keeps up its end of the bargain, Israel is going to withdraw. | ||
| The hostages will come back. | ||
| Like, sorry to all of the Arab countries and Muslim countries that wanted to destroy Israel. | ||
| You didn't get what you wanted. | ||
| Gaza was destroyed. | ||
| This all could have ended two years ago. | ||
| But now at least there's the opportunity for new people to come in and think about everything differently. | ||
| Maybe that's really what it is more than anything else. | ||
| Donald Trump, by thinking about the Middle East differently, is able to change things. | ||
| Remember, when he did the Abraham Accords years ago, everyone was like, you got to deal with the Palestinians first. | ||
| And he was like, let Israel sign deals with these other countries first. | ||
| And then there was commerce and there was peace with these countries. | ||
| So the guy who did, again, the thing that was unthinkable, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem, all these things. | ||
| It's like he deserves a lot of the credit. | ||

Thank you, my friends. | |
| The sun may have set over our city this evening. | ||
| But as Eugene Debs once said, I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity. | ||
| All right, I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity. | ||
| That's pretty standard quote. | ||
| You might be going, well, who is Eugene Debs? | ||
| They all applauded Eugene Debs. | ||
| Eugene Victor Debs was an American socialist political activist, trade unionist, one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World, and five-time candidate of the Socialist Party for America, President of the United States. | ||
| So he's going all in on the socialist communist stuff. | ||
| We don't have to split hairs about it. | ||
| We don't have to pretend or anything else. | ||
| He went out of his way to open his acceptance speech with someone who ran for president five times as a socialist. | ||
| Then he said one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard a politician say. | ||
| We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. | ||
| Oh, no problem too big for government to solve. | ||
| Do we have a Ronald Reagan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help. | ||
| Here's Donald Trump then being asked, does he was the word retard a bit much when it comes to Tim Walz? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Tim Walz, and you called him what many Americans do find an offensive word retarded. | |
| Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz retarded? | ||
| Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Sure. | ||
| Do you have a problem with it? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I think there's something wrong with him. | ||
| Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into his state and pay billions of dollars up to Somalia, we give billions of dollars to Somalia. | ||
| It's not even a country because it doesn't function like a country. | ||
| It's got a name, but it doesn't function like a country. | ||
| Yeah, there's something wrong with Walls. | ||
| Yeah, so interestingly, Trump, I don't even know if it's intentional, but not only is he not apologizing for retarded, but he's also kind of using the word retarded in the proper way. | ||
| He's saying there's something wrong with this guy. | ||
| He's retarded in his thinking of how he should be as the governor of Minnesota. | ||
| It's actually true. | ||
| And now it turns out, Trump is referencing this. | ||
| There is a massive, massive freaking scandal breaking right now in Minnesota that falls at the feet of Tim Walz. | ||
| Listen to this from the New York Times. | ||
| How fraud swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Walz' watch. | ||
| Prosecutors say member of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing political power, were largely responsible. | ||
| President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. | ||
| So you know if the New York Times has been forced to cover something bad that a Democrat governor did, you know it's bad. | ||
| And now listen to this. | ||
| This is from the Minnesota Department of Human Services employees. | ||
| And this is a condensed version of the tweet. | ||
| They are not holding back as to what Tim Walz did. | ||
| Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. | ||
| We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud. | ||
| But no, we got the opposite response. | ||
| Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. | ||
| Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members, and indifferent mainstream media. | ||
| It's scary, isolating, and led us wondering who we can turn to. | ||
| In addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. | ||
| This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. | ||
| Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet, even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. | ||
| These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz' friendship. | ||
| As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed the fraud happening, yet we were shut down, reassigned, and told to keep quiet, sometimes more. | ||
| Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action such as stopping fraud that would have adverse would have had an adverse impact on their image. | ||
| To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud, whether it's Shireen Gandhi, Jess Giel, Jody Harpstead, Natasha Murrs, Eric Grumdahl, or others. | ||
| Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. | ||
| Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. | ||
| These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tender. | ||
| Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus. | ||
| We had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money. | ||
| Otherwise, we'd be in a deficit. | ||
| And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds, were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz' buddies. | ||
| As such, we can't fight fraud in Minnesota alone. | ||
| Hence, why we're appealing to the federal levels of government. | ||
| We need all the help we can get as Tim Waltz agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud. | ||
| Thank you, New York Times, for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage. | ||
| I know that was a lot of reading, guys, but that is rather fascinating. | ||
| In essence, Tim Walz was leading a giant money laundering scheme that now sounds like, at the very least, was funneling money to the Somali community there, but possibly even across the world to Somalia itself. | ||
| Tim Walz was asked over the weekend about this $1 billion scandal, and he somehow blamed Trump. | ||
| Well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump is targeting them and your state. | ||
| In part, he's citing fraud as the reason for his crackdown. | ||
| Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID. | ||
| As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department of Corrections. | ||
| So I want to give you a chance to respond to this. | ||
| Do you take responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state? | ||
| Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail, but that's Donald Trump. | ||
| Deflect, demonize, come up with no solutions. | ||
| He's not going to help fix anything on fraud. | ||
| My God, there's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption is something he knows about. | ||
| Could you try answering the question? | ||
| Who did you put in jail? | ||
| And according to what I just read right there, there's an awful lot of people in your state that say you are the head. | ||
| You're the head of the snake of corruption. | ||
| And when people, when whistleblowers came out and said there's a money laundering operation here and all the rest of it, you reassign people, you silence people, you fired people. | ||
| There's some stink around you, Tim Walz. | ||
| And it's a shame that we even have to talk about this guy because he's just an irrelevant nothing, but the people of Minnesota deserve better. |
