B (2:49)

Oh absolutely. Our locks Lexapier pro water filtration system is one of our most popular and filters out anything from like viruses all the way down to your bacteria geodes, everything. So as long as you have a fresh drinking source like water, river, stream, lake nearby you pond, that would be great for you and product that we're.

A (3:09)

Well, I want to, I want to jump to power because this is one I know I'm near and dear to. You don't need a, an atomic bomb or ballistic missile to hit the United States. Our, our energy grid is wildly successful, susceptible to someone taking us down either hacking into it or it's just, it's very fragile. Tell us why how you can find energy say in a bunker or in your home. With my Patriot supply, yeah.

B (3:35)

We have our solar generator lineup like our grid doctor units. And the nice thing about our big grid doctor unit, I don't have it behind me. Well, actually I do. Give me just a sec. But the nice thing about it, it does have EMP intercept technology. So someone tries to hit yourself with something big. This bad boy, wow, powered. So you got 3, 300 watts of power coming through here and it's going to keep any kind of power surges. The one big thing that people don't think about. Yes, our power grid is super fragile. It can be taken down easily. We all know what happened to Texas a few years back just from a winter storm. But also another thing that people got to think about when it comes to power is all these data centers that they're building, they're already having rolling blackouts in a lot of cities, a lot of towns and everything. They're just absorbing everyone's energy and just robbing us blind.

A (4:29)

Jake, how does that work? And I'm sure they have different sizes depending on how you, how big of a family you have. How does the power supply Work is it's a battery, it stays charged all the time until you need it.

B (4:42)

So I mean it will stay charged. I, we recommend to use it because like any other kind of battery, but we do have LifePO4 batteries which are good for 3600 cycles before it starts to deteriorate. So it's definitely one of the upper ends there. But we have expansion battery packs. So whether if you just need the single unit that I just showed you, you can also get expansion packs to fit underneath it up to seven. So you're looking at over 16000 watt hours which is excellent. We have a big old 30amp out plug on the side so those of you who have RVs, you can just plug directly into the unit itself or, or both. It really is just so, so tell

A (5:23)

us about the food supply. Now let's just say what you're, you're a, an expert in, in the business. What is the recommended number of days, meals per person would you recommend outside of any emergency happening like right now in preparedness?

B (5:39)

So the minimum that we like to tell people like including the government, 72 hours, that's a bare minimum. Stay alive for 72 hours, three days, food and water. Can your family stay alive for that long? Personally I like to say between three months to a year if you can. It's like behind me, this, these six buckets, that's a three month food kit. They're all stackable, durable buckets. They come in these pouches. See once you open the pouch like these are good for up to 25 years but once you open it and you have about a year's shelf life. We have fortified 12 essential vitamins and minerals on most of our meals. We're trying to look out, not just give you guys empty calories.

A (6:20)

Yeah, no, it's, it's great, it's, it's a great. Again like I said, you don't want to say why didn't we do this when it's already emergency. You want to be prepared for it in advance. You can check out procedure preparewith rav.com preparewith rav.com to see how you can get prepared. I want to say thank you to Jake Seawolf, preparedness expert for my Patriot supply folks, really, really good information. Thank you Jake.

B (6:44)

Thank you.

A (6:45)

All right, tonight, President Donald J. Trump will address the nation 9pm with important update on Iran. Here to discuss our own Chief Rev, Chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Brian joins us. Let us tell us what's happened. What do you expect? What's, what's the buzz and I know everyone has scored an idea and then sometimes they leak what it's going to be about. What's the, the boots on the ground saying? Brian?

C (7:08)

Yeah, good afternoon. There's not a whole lot of leaking come out of the White House right now. The White House has not put out any kind of formal follow up to that announcement that he was going to make make this address tonight at nine o' clock local time. Now, what we do know is some of the things that he's pushed out on social media, true social. Now, this morning during the 9 o' clock hour on American Sunrise, President Trump pushed out, and I'm paraphrasing here, that Iran wants a ceasefire. But that would only happen if the strait was completely open to traffic and if that was not the case, then it would go as business as usual with the bombing. So I don't know what to expect tonight, Eric. I'm putting it somewhere between we've defeated the Iranian government and they no longer can obtain a nuclear weapon and we've destroyed the military. Military. All facts to basically boots on the ground next week and perhaps for leaving NATO and oh by the way, the feds will drop their rates two and a half point. I have no idea what to expect.

A (8:12)

That's very optimistic thinking on your I'll tell you right now. I got it. I keep in touch with a lot of oil traders around the world. One of them sent me this, you know, a couple hours ago. News Iran president to issue letter to the American people within the day. So we may hear and they may want to front run Trump on on announcement. Who knows? We'll keep our eyes out for that. But it certainly is a lot of, you know, misinformation going back and forth, not suggesting either side was doing. But there seems to be inconsistency coming out from D.C. and Tehran. Yeah.

C (8:45)

And I think this is very important that the president makes this address tonight, Eric, because we get so used to having the drive by headlines from legacy media all the way down to the guy operating out of his mom's basement. They love to throw out a headline to grab you in there and take you down some rabbit hole. That's simply not the truth. So I think President Trump, as we've all grown to really love this about him. He's very direct. He's going to tell you exactly what's going on right now, what he plans on doing. And I think this as this escalation has gone now, just over what, 32 days, I think he's in A term that I like to use is land the plane. I think he's about to land the plane and tell the American people here's what you can expect in the coming weeks. And so everyone can make the necessary arrangements. We know that gas and you said

A (9:39)

it on here, look, there's nobody on

C (9:40)

a network that knows more about the oil and gas markets than you. And you even said it yourself that

A (9:44)

we're going to go through a little

C (9:46)

bit of some more pain going up. But when this thing all plays out, we will see oil prices go back down.

A (9:53)

Brian, this is really important for me because I've done this for a very, very long time. I would suggest not only network, maybe in all of media right now, I did for 35 years. I know it, I live it, I breathe oil. I just hope he love what president's doing. I think he's in the right space. I just don't want to hear. Don't worry folks. Gas prices are coming down soon. Here's why. This week is when the last of the low price barrels of oil that loaded on tankers hit our shores. So everything going forward from here is going to be at a substantially almost a double in price. And those gasoline retailers on the corner, believe me, aren't going to eat a loss. So we have cheap gas, it's going to go up for at least 30 days and we're already at 406 a gallon. So you know, I know the messaging has to calm the people down but I hope it doesn't include, you know, kind of pie in the sky, optimistic, rosy picture when at least at the pump it's not going to be. How about saying, listen, it's going to be tough and it's going to hurt but it's for a good cause and we're going to clean this thing up once we clear up the the straight. So I'm not sure where it's going to come but I'm hoping the advisors are smart enough or the speechwriters are smart enough to really treat us like we know what we're doing too. Yeah.

C (11:03)

And you know what? Also I'll throw in. Last week there was a big conference call with a lot of CEOs from airline companies and they have been absorbing the extra jet fuel costs for the jet fuel previously. From what I've been told, they're no longer going to do that. So if you've got a trip coming up this summer, I would encourage you to book that flight sooner than later because the prices for airline tickets will go up.

A (11:27)

What does he think, well here, do you think it's just him, strictly Iran, strait of Hormuz and energy prices, or will he venture off into some of the other issues?

C (11:37)

I hope he stays on point, Eric, I really do. And for someone like yourself that knows President Trump and we've been around him, we know how he'll go through. He might even bring up election integrity. He might bring up one big beautiful bill, the DHS funding, he may bring up all of this stuff. But I really hope he stays on topic tonight and talks about the situation in Iran and what we can look forward to in the coming weeks.

A (12:00)

Now, let me be realistic here, Brian. I'm talking to you like a friend. And folks are watching right now. He called a 9 o' clock address to the nation late yesterday, right, like late last night for a reason. Now one reason could be signal we won. I think a lot of people say hold on because the IRGC is saying something completely different. We're seeing or it could be the off ramp. And I've offered this to them on Bannon's war room probably 20 days out of last 30. The off ramp is go in there, negotiate a deal for their oil with our oil companies going forward. It's an off ramp for them, it's an off ramp for us. We don't lose tens of thousands of American lives trying to clean out a country that frankly doesn't want to be cleaned out. So I'm hoping it's. And he can do it in his way where he says we won, I won this and this is how we did it. And I did this for the country. He, he can, he can take the victory lap and it certainly will be a victory by the way, if he did that because prices for oil will be stable for the rest of our lives.

C (13:00)

No, I agree with you. Earlier today I also read an article, Eric, about the cost of this war from an Iranian standpoint. They could produce these drones at thousands of dollars each versus the military industrial complex in the U.S. it costs billions to make these weapons, these missiles that we're using so the Iranian forces can stay in business, if you will, a little bit longer than perhaps most expected because their cost of doing business, and I'm saying that as far as manufacturing some type of warhead is much lower with these drones. So I, I think we'll continue to, to hit some of those, those areas that are, have a surplus of drones where they're storing these drones. Because a thousand dollar drone, I say a thousand dollars could be $5,000 drone can take Down a billion dollar oil taker. So you've got a drone versus an oil tanker. It doesn't cost them a lot of money to continue this escalation. That's why it's got to be completely wiped out. And Eric, from the very beginning, and I think you and I can agree, I was not the most pro war advocate on this network and I've been criticized for it highly amongst the chats. Okay? But we're in it, okay? And I want us to get out of it as cleanly as we can. Let's destroy this Iranian regime. Let's make sure they get a better government in place. It's not our business to tell who that leader is going to be. Let the Iranian people, they're educated, they're smart, they can do it. Let them put their leader in place. Let us get back to energy independence and not worry about the straight or Hormuz. Let's make America great again. That's what I'm about. I'm about America. I'm about supporting President Trump. But I want to get it. I want to. I want us to have an exit ramp on this, on this war.

A (14:43)

I'll tell you one very quick little caveat to all this. If you think you're going to take cargo. Listen, I've been doing this a really long time. I know Iranians are fanatics. They would rather be a martyr in death than to turn over their, their whole country to us. If you think you're going to take Cargill and think about this folks. As they're going down, as they see the American troops coming in, we'll lose people on the way. But as they see that, don't think for one second they won't blow their own car guy. Line up with our troops on it just to just accomplishes too. It kills Americans and it drives the price of oil back up where they can get. I just think this has to be a negotiated off ramp for both sides. And again, I don't care about the chat. I love the chat. But they hate you and they hate me for saying the same thing. But I've been around the block a hundred times. I don't want to see any more American dignified transfers.

C (15:30)

Sucks. I agree.

A (15:30)

Let's do no more of those. I agree. Brian, we got to go. Love your brother. And we'll get back tomorrow. We'll kind of see what we thought today and see how it plays out tomorrow if you got some time.

C (15:39)

Sounds good. Yeah, absolutely.

A (15:40)

All right, folks. Take a look at this. You can feel it Right now, there's pressure building. All around us. Men are being told, slow down, soften up, buttercup. Lower your standards.

All right, my next guest has been the leading voice for Free Iran for the last 40 plus years starting with his time in the U.S. house of Representatives and and as a U.S. senator. Happy to have Senator Robert Torricelli join us. Senator, thank you for joining. Just tell us what you just write to it. You see what's going on here. The irgc, for the first time that I've heard, put out a headline saying the Iranian people may be willing to negotiate. I never seen that in the past 30 days of the war. What do you think we're going to hear from Trump tonight?

D (18:44)

Well, I haven't seen that in the last 47 years, so I'll up your line. I think it is remarkable. They can talk tough, they can act tough, but 11,000 airstrikes destroying their navy, their air force, their ability to wage war and making ballistic missiles, They're a country in trouble. They were in economic trouble before this war. Now they're in deeper economic trouble. And let me just say this. I know in your audience, there may be people who supported the president doing this, there may be people opposed, but I hope after tonight the American people are in one place. You may have disagreed with how the president went to war. You may disagree with things about the war. This regime always had to be eliminated. They were bent on a nuclear weapon. They have killed thousands of American soldiers in Iraq and in the region. They have supported every terrorist organization they had to come to an end. And I hope we can all unite in that and united. One more thing. Now that we are at war, whether you supported it or not, it's a good idea or not, the United States cannot ever lose a war. The consequences of us being seen to not have the power people perceive would be enormous. So right now, one way or another, the United States has to prevail.

A (20:04)

Well, so, so let me ask you that, okay? You're a Democrat, and I. So why would, what would be wrong with President Trump coming out tonight and say, look, we obliterated their, their nuclear capacity. We took out all of their ability to rebuild the systems, any military system, let alone nuclear systems, and called that the victory. And we won. We won this war because, remember, that was the, that was a goal of. The original intent of bombing Iran was to obliterate their ability to deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States or anywhere, for that matter. So that is the win. It somehow became regime change along the way, and it's proven to be a lot more. Let me finish. It's proven to be a lot more difficult than maybe anyone, maybe outside of me, thought it would be.

D (20:49)

Yeah. I don't think that eliminating the Iranian armed forces proved more difficult probably than the military, US Military believed. And it was done with dispatch.

A (20:58)

No, no, sir. No, no, no, no. Not the armed forces, the regime, the mullahs.

D (21:03)

I'm getting to that. I'm getting to that.

A (21:04)

Got it.

D (21:05)

What has been frustrating and has proven more difficult is I think we all believe that once we destroyed IRGC facilities and Iran got in even more economic trouble and couldn't make payroll with its terrorist forces, that there'd be a revolt from within and they'd collapse. That hasn't happened. I know it's frustrated the president. It's frustrated all of us. That doesn't mean it won't happen. As you noted, I've been very involved with the MEK for years, which is the democratic opposition that is involved with the diaspora all around the world of the Iranian people. They have very deep roots inside Iran. Hundreds of them have been killed, if not thousands going to the streets. I will tell you frankly, and I don't blame them, in the last few weeks, they've been intimidating. Three people were hung yesterday. Several were hung the day before. Hundreds are in jail. Thousands have been killed. Frankly, I'd be intimidated, too. That doesn't mean they don't come back. The President may declare victory. We may announce they have no nuclear capabilities, they have no armed forces left. We're frustrated. The regime is still in place. But don't be so sure that's true six months from now. You can't keep a lid on this forever.

A (22:20)

Fair enough. Well, nuclear I doubt, but. And by the way, regime. You want to talk about regime change, it could take years to actually put. Get that through. And in the meantime, you have these. You have clearly, you have cells in America and around the world. You have the Houthis, you have the Hezbollah, you have Hamas, who are Iranian supported. Those aren't going away anytime soon. Won't is. Isn't it time to just let those fanatic lunatics shoot themselves and stop pointing their. Their ire at us?

D (22:51)

Yeah. You know, I think it comes to the issue of what's the limit of American responsibility? Successive presidents have announced we're not going to let them get a nuclear weapon. All right? We've been good to our word. That hasn't happened. Now they've developed this enormous ballistic missile and drone capability that they've been using in the Ukraine and they've been using on American allies in the region. Well, that may not be eliminated, but, boy, it's been set back a long, long way. I think that's enough for the United States to say, we did our part and it is a victory. And now the burden shifts to people like the people I believe in, the MEK and the democratic resistance. It may take more lives. It May take more punishment you're going to have to take to the streets. It may take months, it may take another couple years. But buddy, this is now your job. Take down the regime. And I believe they will. I know the State Department doesn't think so. I believe they will.

A (23:45)

Sure. We've softened the target. Iranian people had uprisings in the streets. Where are they? Get back out there. Let, let, let, let Europe, let NATO, let China, let them. They're the ones who are at most risk of the Strait of Hormuz remaining.

D (24:01)

Have to. I. Just because the Iranian people didn't do it during all this carnage and this bloodletting of the regime in the streets, that doesn't mean they won't. These are brave people. They've lost their country for 47 years. Don't count them out. They'll. They'll get this regime. Count on it.

A (24:18)

All right, Senator, really good having you on. A Democrat from the state I used to live in. I had never saw this the moment where you and I would agree on something. But here.

D (24:27)

That's right.

A (24:28)

Much of this week.

D (24:29)

Come back to Jersey. We'd love to have you.

A (24:31)

Yeah, I'm, I'm a Floridian for life now, my friend, but thank you very much. We get you back on afterwards and, and see how this thing plays out. Appreciate you, Senator.

D (24:38)

Do it again.

A (24:38)

Torcelli. Thank you. From former LEO from the state of. That's currently of New Jersey, but formerly center of New Jersey. All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, this is, that's a very, very special segment for me. I love this stuff. Today we're looking at the Artemis 2 moon rocket at the Kennedy Space Center. This rocket will be sent to the moon to explore for scientific discovery, economic benefits and to build the foundation. This is really, really important right here, the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. Here to give us more insight is Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony. Tracy, awesome to have you. It's fascinating that when you're standing right there looking at the Artemis building, you're looking at the, the ship, the rocket ship, but that building is massive. It's just unbelievable. Tell us, first of all, tell us, are we going to. How's the weather? Because I think that will play the biggest factor in whether we go today or this afternoon tonight. Tell us where we stand on all that.

E (25:46)

Yeah, you know, I was getting a little nervous because the rain showers from the typical sea breeze kind of stuck around and lingered a little bit longer than normal. And we really had the weather do a 180 just in the last hour. We have seen everything clear out just as expected. And now we have clear skies and it's even a little cool when the wind kicks up. But the wind is pretty light. That is one of the biggest concerns. So weather does play a huge role. If the wind gusts get over 43 miles per hour, they're not going to launch this evening or if we have a good amount of cloud cover. So it's looking like Mother Nature working on our behalf. So this is going to happen tonight. We're actually at Jetty Park Park. So this is a park where viewers come to watch these launches. And the campsite right now is completely sold out. Once the rain cleared up, we have seen it fill up very quickly. So it's kind of come back to life now that we're seeing the clear skies. And I'm so excited. I have never been to a rocket launch and I have just heard great things. A lot of people that we've talked to, this is, you know, their fourth, fifth, six rocket launch. But they all have said there is something more patriotic and historical about being at this one.

A (27:02)

I gotta tell you, we were, I went to, I, I joined a SpaceX launch a couple of months ago. We, Trish, we got some of that video. Let's play. It was, it was fast, is exciting. The people from all around the area come and they watch sometimes. This one was. Happened to be at like 3 or 4 in the morning. Can't remember what it was. There. There we go. That's, that's a SpaceX. SpaceX X launch right there. Phenomenal. And the fascinating things, folks, if you haven't done it, you gotta go, go to the Kennedy Space center because you have Artemis here. You're driving. If I got some access. But inside the compound you have Artemis. Within a block or Two you have SpaceX, another massive building. And then over there, there's, there's blue origin from Bezos's blue origin. Wildly unbelievable amount of space knowledge being being accumulated right there. And again the weather is so important. So you think we're going to go. I see T minus hour and 49 minutes or so. You think we're, we're. What's the forecast for the next two hours?

E (28:01)

Yeah, you know, it's supposed to stay just like this. So now that the clouds have cleared and I do now think it's going to be a go, if you would have asked me an hour or two ago, I would have said probably not. But again, this is my first shuttle launch and it really did clear out very quickly. So I am definitely excited for what's to come.

A (28:23)

Yeah, they say in Florida if you don't like the weather, stick around five minutes, it'll change it. So the, the what exactly? Yeah, so, so this, this rocket is going to go, it's gonna, it's gonna land on the moon, orbit the moon, what's it going to do and how does this, the basis for the, the Mars, the big Kona when I think there's a race to Mars right Now, I think SpaceX Blue Origin, NASA and maybe some sort of company between the three or four of them, they all want to get there first. But how does that play into Mars, you know?

E (28:56)

Yeah, you know, I'm not quite sure how that plays into Mars, but I do know that this mission, they are going around the dark side of the moon. So we haven't sent people around that side of the moon. So they're not landing on the moon. But it's about a 10 day mission. And this is step one of really sending people back into deep space and outside the Earth's orbit. So we haven't sent humans outside the Earth's orbit since about 1972, I think it was. So it has been quite some time. And this is just kind of step one. So I think, you know, we get to the moon, we go around it, then we stop there. Mars is next on the list.

A (29:36)

So Tracy, another important weather aspect, as you say, a 10 day mission reentry is also a weather concern as well. How do they dictate when it's time to come back and however they do it. I don't know if they do the Elon Musk thing where the rocket actually puts itself back on the launch pad or if they, they drop into some body of water. But weather is also important there, right?

E (29:59)

You know, I don't have a ton of details about re entry. I do know that in about 10 days it's supposed to, or it's expected to re enter and land somewhere in the Gulf. So, you know, we're gonna kind of switch coasts and go over there. But. Yeah, you know, I, that's a great question. You actually stumped me there. But space weather is a little newer for me.

A (30:20)

But I am so sorry. I'm exciting. I absolutely adore all this, everything space. It's just wildly fascinating to me. I just, I love it. You know, I want to believe there's, there's, there's the other things out there that we don't know. I'm not sure if it's life or not, but I'm sure there's. This is a vast unknown. There's so much. Where can we find Weather Nation? Tell us how to find Tracy Anthony and Weather Nation.

E (30:44)

Yeah, you can find us on weathernationtv.com there is a link of where you can find us on other platforms and other streaming services. You can also find us on any social media platform. So getter Rumble, Instagram, Twitter, X, I should say Facebook. So any, you know, major platform or we're streaming. We're also now on Amazon prime. So that's a cool spot too.

A (31:10)

That is a cool spot. Congratulations. And I'm going to be one who is watching. I'm gonna go from watching this liftoff to watching President Trump address the nation. Tracy Anthony, Weather Nation. Thank you so much.

E (31:20)

Yeah.

A (31:21)

Okay, folks, take a look at this. In just six months, the Edge has crossed 13,000 subscribers, over 2 million views, and get this, more than 70,000 watch hours. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, no fake numbers. Just real people showing up and leaning into something better. And here's what that tells me. There's a hunger out there for strength, for discipline, for clarity in a world that's gotten way too soft. And we're just getting started because this isn't about chasing views.

They, I mean, Democrat rats, Democrats really don't care about you. Democrats just don't care that their collective hissy fits hurts Americans. And they say it every day with their words and show it every day with their actions against this country. Yet another Democrat rat. This time, Minority Whip Massachusetts Congresswoman Catherine Clark is questioned over the ridiculous shutdown of dhs and she just doesn't give a damn.

F (32:56)

People are just also feeling like you guys just don't get it. I mean, over and over again, this is not the first shutdown that they've been dealing with. And at some point this will get fixed. How much pain will be felt and how that lingers is uncommon.

C (33:09)

Clear.

F (33:10)

But going forward, like, do you support the idea? I've seen some efforts they've never gone through. It's like the conversation of term limits. Everyone wants it, but it's never going to happen that, that members of Congress should not also. Should also not get paid if there is a shutdown or there is a default. Do you like, at some point feel the pain that people are feeling?

G (33:29)

Yeah, and I do feel the pain that people are feeling. And I hear it every single single place that I go in my district. And this is a hardship. And what we want to do is come together and actually govern.

A (33:44)

Now, see, you don't feel the pain because you're still being paid. And I agree with the CNN host. Can't remember her name, but I agree with her. If you shut the government down, shut the whole damn government down. That includes D.C. includes a swamp. Hold your paychecks out for a while and see how long you hold out for this bs. Things that you have, including something as insane as the Save America act, should be passed with 80% plus of the American electric in favor of. But you'll hold out. How about this? Next time you hold out on something, no paychecks. They'll get it open real damn quick. This is the thing about Zoran Mamdani. It's not just that he's a pure socialist looking to topple free markets and destroy our economy in the meantime and do away with all of our elements of our republic. I said it right. The republic. It's not just that he's an obvious jihadist supporter, which he is with a jihadist supporting, actually a racist wife. To be honest, it's that smile. Poor man's Obama. Obama 1.5 delivers his admiration for Marxism with a kind of smile. Well, it makes a serial killer blush. What's the one piece of advice that

B (34:53)

Bernie had given to you that.

A (34:54)

That you still think about or that had the biggest impact on you?

H (35:00)

I think in many ways, Bernie is the inspiration for this slogan that we've taken up, which I've now belatedly realized has a connection to paw patrol, which is that there's no problem too big, no task too small. Because what Bernie has emphasized to me is this idea of sewer socialism that has sometimes it's felt as if been lost to time it. This idea that you deliver this expansive vision of politics through fixes to the most granular problems in people's lives is one that has to be at the heart of the way in which we're approaching Every single issue.

A (35:41)

So Bernie Sanders is his role model, I guess. And Mamdani calls himself a democratic socialist. I think we need to drop the IC at the end. Democratic socialist, because there's no democratic socialism, but there is Democrat socialists, and that's what these guys really are. I realize you don't see this very often, but here's a Democrat who's in hot water making it seem like the President is just out for blood for political reasons, when actually you're just the guy with a highly checkered past who had it coming.

B (36:09)

This case is closed. The Bureau said over 10 years ago all we did was help. But this effort to weaponize the FBI against president's political enemy, the time that

A (36:22)

we are at war shows a distraction

B (36:25)

and shows an obsession with going out through the blood of the President's political opponents.

A (36:30)

This clown is now claiming that he's being persecuted Lawfare against him. Does he have any recollection that he was the leading. He was all about impeaching Trump twice in the House when Trump was president the first time.

E (36:44)

And.

A (36:44)

And all about all in favor of throwing all the lawfare they could possibly find at Donald Trump to try and keep him from becoming a president the second time. But. But he's the one. He's the victim. Got it, Swalwell. China loving, spy loving. I won't say it. The way that Democrats continue to lie about the Save America act is actually ridiculous. They know that at least 2/3 of all Americans want voter. That's more like 8 out of 10 or higher. And yet Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro continues to peddle the same BS lies.

C (37:15)

I mean, we could cut and paste that and just use it today. I mean, look what you're seeing from President Trump with this whole Save act thing that he's doing is really designed to suppress the vote. It's designed to make certain people not have access to the most powerful tool we have as Americans, and that is the right to vote.

A (37:38)

Someone just please explain to me that when you're an elected official, you represent the constituents who voted for you. And when eight out of 10 of them, no matter what the cross party lines, nine and a half out of 10 Republicans, eight out of 10 independents, seven out of 10 Democrats, if they're in favor, how do you not represent what they want? Because you just want to get reelected over everything else, including representing the people that you're supposed to represent. One of the things that doesn't come up enough, the apparent coup that took place to remove Joe Biden as the presidential candidate in 2024. When they saw that pitiful debate against President Trump, they could see that they had no choice, they had no option but to remove the guy. And we still don't have a full idea of just how dirty this became. But watching Nancy Pelosi answer for certainly entertaining, to say the least. Meaning she refuses to actually answer questions about it. I wonder if you factor in the way that Biden's campaign ended.

E (38:37)

When you think about your own legacy,

A (38:39)

I think that many people credit you

E (38:42)

or blame you for the way that that campaign ended.

C (38:46)

Well, I don't know.

G (38:48)

How can I say this in a nice way? The Biden administration accomplished great things. People compared him to LBJ in terms of the amount of and the quality and quantity of accomplishments.

A (39:03)

Huh?

I (39:04)

Huh?

A (39:04)

How about you answer the question, Nance? Who did it and why? We know it was you, Barack Obama and George Clooney. That was it. It took three people in the Democrat Party on the left to remove the seated incumbent president. Was running for president again. That's all it took. Powerful woman, a former powerful former president and a celebrity actor. That's what it was. While Nancy Pelosi won't actually answer a question about the coup she helped carry out two years ago against Joe Biden, she's more than happy to fear Monger about the midterm elections.

G (39:38)

We always have concerns. But with this president and these Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way, we're ready. We have three purposes now. One is to win the midterms, two is to make sure the elections are safe, and three, to tell people what we will do when we win. We have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count.

A (40:13)

How do you guard against that?

G (40:15)

That's a challenge.

A (40:15)

Oh, my goodness. Already predicting election interference, are you, Nance? I thought that was unconstitutional. I thought that was a threat to democracy. But you're doing it already. Aren't you worried about the midterms, folks? It's not an April Fool's Day joke. It's real. Don Lamond does actually think that he's got what it takes to be president and he actually thinks he would do a good job. Better job than Trump, in fact. Oh, he throws in a little Obama comparison, too, for good measure. He have to hear this to believe it.

J (40:48)

A pay cut. But it's not about money for me. So do I ever think about it?

H (40:54)

Yes.

J (40:55)

Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen. If the opportunity presented itself. The right opportunity presented itself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I'm crazy. This is going to be the headline and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be President of the United States. I could definitely run this country better than, than, than Donald Trump.

F (41:15)

Paper towel roll cut. But yeah, yeah, you would be market improvement.

J (41:20)

As an independent, though, there would be a hard time for me to run for anything because, you know, the way the system is set up, I'd have to choose a side. Why can't I think about running for office? Why can't I think about being President of the United States when. Look at what we have. When anybody. Did anybody think Barack Obama, as he says, this guy with a funny name is from a mixed background. Did anybody ever think that he would become president?

A (41:42)

Talk about zero self awareness right there. Don Lemon, as, as president, who would vote for you? You wouldn't get Democrats to vote for you. Oh, God. Good Lord. You know, before we go to this Edge thing, Mark. Mark Twain. Hey, Don, you should listen to this. Mark Twain famously said, and I'll read it. This is the day, April 1st. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other 364 days of the year. Don, think about that, brother. Think about that. Hey, take a look at this. Can feel it right now. There's pressure building all around us. Men are being told, slow down, soften up, buttercup. Lower your standards. A lot of them are buying it, but some aren't. Some men still want to be strong, disciplined, sharp, in control of their body, their money, their mind, their future. That's who the Edge was built for. No politics, no noise, no distractions. Just real conversations about performance, longevity, success, and what it actually means to win when no one's watching. Because this isn't about motivation. Motivation fades. This is about standards. Building your standards up, forging your standards in the fire. It's about showing up when you don't feel like it. It's about pushing through when you. When it's easier to coast, to sit on the couch. It's about building a life that doesn't depend on luck or permission.

Say a lot of you standing with me. Wait, hold on. We have to go live. We have to go live. Trump is on. Ben, do you know this? I do. Do you see him? Do you not see Trump? He's. Oh, wait a minute. Rob Sig says it's April Fools. We got you, Ben. Got the control room. Got you. Guys, they're panic. El Jefe come tell them it's okay. It's okay. All right, let's. Let's do a couple. Let's do a couple voicemails.

K (44:11)

This is.

D (44:12)

This is El Jefe on John Thune.

A (44:15)

Oh, there you go.

K (44:17)

It's me, El Jefe. I like you, Eric. You play baseball like my Fernando Valenzuela. You know what? I used to make my special burritos for Fernando before games. Why do you think he has such great movement on his. On the ball? I'd say a little extra gas on his pictures. And I'm not calling about baseball. I would like to offer some insight on a couple of your US Senators and give you today's news headlines for the day. The Senator Thune, he loves turtle chocolate ice cream. This is why his breath always smells like turtle. The Senate Cohen cannot make decisions on his own. He is no leader. Even as a boy in the Boy Scouts, John was no leader. He had to be transferred to the Brownies of the Girl Scouts. The pressure, the responsibilities, was much too grande for him to bear. The Senator McConnell still secretly leads the senators. The Turtle, as you Americans call him, was not happy when President Trump forced him to step down. He has vowed to destroy the presidency. Even John's wife has to take the dominant role in the bedroom. And when she tells him to go down on her, he curls up in the fetal position and cries, John just can't settle for tuna when can have chocolate turtles. I have John, Mitch and their spouses to Macasa here on Mexico to discuss business. If you get Madrid, we had to a lovely dinner. Then we all went skinny dipping.

A (45:55)

Oh, my goodness. What are we doing here, Benjamin? Where are you starting? You're right, sir. Baseball been very, very good to me. I was. Yes, I was. Yes. That was a long time ago. I agree with him. John Thune, are you kidding me?

C (46:09)

Where.

A (46:09)

What world are we in? Where John Thune thinks he can rebuff President Trump's idea of kill a filibuster. You know the Democrats are going to kill a filibuster the first chance they can. I don't know when that's going to be. Let's not give him a chance to do it anytime soon, but just get the Save America act passed full. Get everything through full. You know, this whole idea of funding parts of the DHS and not other parts, including ice, through a Senate vote with five senators, a voice vote, five senators in the middle of the night that just is so swampy, is so dark and swampy. I don't know how you get rid of Thune. I'm not sure how that works. I mean it has to be from within the caucus, I guess. Can't be trumpet. I, I think there's a good, there's a good opportunity for Trump to really lean after this whole war thing cleans up to really lean into th and how he's been not helpful in one of the most important things that has been certainly in the last two years, maybe in the last 20 years, maybe last 200 years. Save America act. Get it done. The American people want it. It's the right thing to do.

B (47:09)

Thune, Ben, viewer wants you to take

D (47:13)

your oil ideas straight to Trump.

I (47:15)

Mr. Fabulous bowling. Why don't you get all the information you and Steve Bannon's been talking about and take it directly to the President since you've got a way to get to him. Because these criminals up there around him, the rhinos, don't want anything good to happen for our country. Don't you know they're rhinos. They don't give it about America. The only reason they're half in the President Trump is because Trump is in charge, not them. And I don't trust them Rhinos running our country, much less a duck full of illegal, corrupt, craziness trap and so much more. And don't forget the rhinos. Take your oil information directly to President Trump or have Stephen K. Bannon walk it over there if he's a local. Now he's been in Texas, but he might be back in D.C. who knows? But one of the two of you could get directly to the president or you don't want to do that. Call Peter Navarro and tell him to tell the president and we might get something better done. Your ideals were great. So get them to President Trump and don't go through the damn staff. That's rhinos. That's all I got to say.

A (48:30)

Well, I appreciate that. And yeah, you're right, we do have been in a lot. He can, he can certainly get it. I've told you, I already got it to Pete Hexaf and Suzy Wiles twice. I got emails back, texts back saying that they received it. Nothing further. Than that. So maybe some sort of deal is happening. Maybe some of it has input into. Into the decision making to. To kind of off ramp what we're doing there. Hopefully it is. I'd like to see the oil deal. I could see our oil companies pull oil out before we go. I just did. The control room just sent me. Trish sent me this text saying, mike, here's the headline news from Ms. Now, Ms. now says Mike Johnson caves on Senate's DHS deal, paving the way to end the shutdown. Sudden reversal. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced the House would accept the Senate deal on funding DHS without ice. So there's your government working for you folks. You want it, you want ice, and they just passed it without ICE funding. Not sure how that plays out. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm sure Bannon Bannon's going to take that and drill down into what that really means for us. For ice, for the American people, for our borders, for our security, for our safety, maybe even our airports. Who knows? As always, stick around for bandage War room. You. Like I said, you leave there a lot smarter than when you enter that room. It bandits coming next. And we will see you tomorrow. Have a great night. Listen a little song on the way out. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
