My people came to me. Dan Coats came to me and some others. They said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be so. I have great confidence in my intelligence people. But I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.

Okay, now going back to Donald Trump's post, that stuff like this, this is what he was posting yesterday. In other words, the Democrats are using the Jeffrey Epstein hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures, in particular their most recent one, the shutdown, the then Donald Trump post. The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein hoax again. And they'll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they've done on the shutdown and so many other subjects. Only a very bad or stupid Republican would fall into that trap. The Democrats cost our country $1.5 trillion with their recent antics of viciously closing our country while at the same time putting many at risk. And they should pay a fair price. There should be no deflections. No deflections. Everybody to Epstein or anything else and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening our country and fixing the massive damage caused by Democrats. You want to know how the MAGA people are talking about Donald Trump spiraling out of control? I've been showing you post after post after post of MAGA followers who are like, we're done with Trump. He's a traitor. He betrayed us all. There's a lot of reasons, not just the Epstein files, but but Donald Trump saying that Chinese students are way better than American students. That's why we need 600,000 Chinese students, because American students aren't good enough to fill the universities. And then Donald Trump said that the H1B visa program is so necessary because Americans don't have skilled workers and Americans can't do high skilled work at all. And therefore we need foreigners to do the work. And MAGA like absolutely lost it. But then you have all these MAGA influencers who are like just Trump propagandists. It's ridiculous. This is where they're going as all right, Editor in chief Ron Philip kowski goes, In 10 months, Maga went from he's the new messiah to look, we don't have anyone else. So MAGA influencer Denise d' Souza says, all this posting by fickle MAGA types, I'm done with Trump. He's on his own. Trump has always been fine on his own. He doesn't need us as much as we need him to fix the country. Right now we don't have anyone else. I'll start to worry when Trump says he's done with us. Y' all are in the weirdest freaking cult imaginable. And Steve Bannon goes, Trump's not perfect. He's an imperfect instrument, but one infused by divine providence. Without him we'd have nothing. So stay focused. This is 12 o' clock high. We're on a bombing run. Don't lose sight of the mission. As our editor in chief Ron Philip Kowski writes, Sloppy Steve doing damage control with the cult today, trying to talk them off the ledge. Caroline Levitt's trying to convince the cult that prices are steadying and down. And she cites DoorDash as her source. Door dash data. We went from the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishing inflation data, publishing data on jobs reports. And now Caroline Levitt says that we're not going to be able to do that anymore. She goes, in the future too. Not just because of the shutdown. She's like, Democrats destroyed the data so we can't even do inflate cpi, which is how the Consumer Price index which measures inflation. We'll never be able to show that again. Just here's Caroline Levitt saying that during her press conference yesterday. Just here's their plan. Just to not show us the data. Cuz if you don't test, you never get sick, according to Trump. Here, play this clip of Levitt economists.

Investors and policymakers at the Federal Reserve to receive critical government data. The Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system with October CPI and jobs reports likely never being released. And all of that economic data released will be permanently impaired, leaving our policymakers at the Fed flying blinds at a critical period.

A (8:27)

So now she's citing doordash and even her citing of doordash misleading the report, if you actually read it, shows rising food prices. The average price of a cheeseburger, a soda and fries increased 3.8% year over year in September, while typical restaurant meals rose 3.2%. And by the way, I don't need to look at this stupid doordash thing. We all, if you are living in America and you're going out to a store, you're seeing the prices way higher. So when Trump's like 25% cheaper this Thanksgiving than last Thanksgiving, it's just not true. Like, we know, we know you're lying because we, because we exist in the world. You may exist with your MAGA Republicans in the golden ballroom, where you all are part of a ppp, the pedophile protection program. Like, yeah, like you're all covering up for child sex trafficking rings and golden triumphal arches or whatever the hell you do. But like, when normal human beings, we go out to stores, we see what the prices are like. Tariffs are forcing brands to cut back on Black Friday deals. Brands can offer deals. Consumer sentiment has tanked since Trump took office. It's well below last year's levels. Just the worst. Like, essentially, consumer expectations and confidence is like the worst ever. And here's what Donald Trump has to say, though, that his, and this is what he said last night when he was signing the continuing resolution that will take away health care from 20 million Americans, but allow Republican senators to file lawsuits against the government and steal a million dollars each of our taxpayer dollars because they claim they were injured when Special Counsel Jack Smith issued a subpoena that simply showed their phone number and the length of the call. Not wiretap, not eavesdrop. So we're giving $40 billion to Argentina. Check. Republican senators just paid themselves each a million dollars a piece or so. Seriously. But anyway, this is what Trump says here. Let's play it.

B (10:30)

The federal government will now resume normal operations, and my administration and our partners in Congress will continue our work to lower the cost of living, restore public safety, grow our economy, and make America affordable again for all Americans again. Costs are way down. Energy is way down. Gasoline is at $2.50 a gallon versus $4.70 for the Democrats. And we think we're going to hit pretty close to $2 a gallon. That's like a really massive tax cut. It's the equivalent of that.

A (11:06)

And then Trump says we're going to get rid of insurance and totally we're just going to get rid of it. We're going to pay money to the people, they're going to buy their own health care. We're going to give people $2,000 checks and then get rid of health care. Okay. You just don't know how health care works. Okay. Insurance insures against usually like a bad injury that, that costs more than $2,000. And before Obamacare, insurance companies discriminated on the basis of pre existing conditions. And that was a big issue because people would just die. So you need insurance. Will the government, will the government be the insurer? Right. Which I think it should. I think there should be universal health care. The government guarantees insurance free for everybody. That's how, that's how I feel. You can disagree. Obamacare is like a little bit of a hybrid. And then you subsidize the private insurance and you try to make it as cheap as you can, but the premiums are still expensive. But people get insurance and that's important. Or what's your plan? But here's what Trump handing people $2,000, which by the way, you're not going to do because you're a liar. That's not a solution. Here, play this clip.

B (12:09)

And we're willing to pay so much money to the people. So we're going to pay a lot of money to the people. They're going to go out and buy their own health care and we're going to forget this Obamacare madness.

A (12:19)

And then I was referencing at the beginning Colombia as President Petro. Here's what he says about the situation in Venezuela and how he connects it to the Epstein files. And that America's pedo ring is trying to provoke wars to cover up the child sex trafficking ring that they're covering up. Here, play this clip. Clan of pedophiles wants to end democracy in Colombia. Harsh. Yes, but that's the reality. And so that the list doesn't come out, they send us armored vehicles to kill fishermen from the city and threaten the neighbor, whether dictator or not. How is it that the people of Colombia are going to applaud invading their brother, which is not the president, but the people of Venezuela? And Adelita Grijalva was sworn in. So why don't we end this on Adelita Grijalva powerful speech and talking about what it was like to be deprived of representing her constituents for months as a result of MAGA covering up for a sex trafficking ring. Here, play this clip.

What is most concerning is not what this administration has done, but what the majority in this body has failed to do. Hold Trump accountable as a co equal branch of government that we are. It has been 50 days since the people of Arizona's 7th congressional district elected me to represent them. 50 days that over 800,000 Arizonans have been left without access to the basic services that every constituent deserves. This is an abuse of power. One individual should not be able to unilaterally obstruct the swearing in of a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons.
