Hey, everybody. Welcome to Vince on a Monday. It is great to be back with you. The best audience anywhere. We have breaking news to start the show. We'll get into the latest when it comes to Iran, all the missiles firing across the Middle East. This weekend, we'll talk about that. Also, what the hell's going on in our elections as Spencer Pratt has now been unseated from the top two in Los Angeles. What's that all about? We'll explore that as well as the president's remarks on that and the death of the legacy media. The fake news media is being put out of its misery and, well, they're not going down quietly. They're very upset about it. All ahead on this edition of Vince, as always, you're the best. All right, let's see. I want to start today with our sponsors. And then. And then I'll get to everything. We've got the pocket hose Ballistic to start us off today. Great sponsor of our program. We love pocket hose. In fact, we're getting a new pocket hose at the house right now, actually. I think it's coming today. I'm super excited about it. We love our pocket hose Ballistic. I'm getting a longer pocket hose. Yes. I want it to reach the furthest possible distances in my yard. Let me tell you. Pocket hose ballistic has just been a wonderful upgrade for our life. We love it so much. And it's the toughest, toughest pocket hose ever built. It's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests. We don't baby the hose. We use it all the time. We drag it across the driveway, around the corners of the house, everywhere. Leave it out in the sun occasionally. Well, that pocket hose ballistic can handle it all. Plus, it comes with the pocket pivot for total free move movement right there at the spigot with full 360 degree rotation. I move, it follows, the water flows. And now, for a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you will get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text this Vince to 64,000. That's Vince to 64,000. You'll get your two free gifts with purchase. Again, text Vince to 64,000. Message and data rates may apply. Mm, yes, indeed. Crazy. Crazy. I hope everybody had a nice weekend. I had to jet off quickly. The family and I, we all went off to Jacksonville, Florida for the weekend because my brother lives down there. My brother and his lovely wife and their. And their newborn baby. Great baptism this weekend. We had an awesome baptism yesterday. Got the whole family and a bunch of people together and we all went out to a nice little Italian restaurant, celebrated the, the baptism. It was so good and it was such a nice thing. But man, I don't know anybody in the chat from Jacksonville, Florida. I've spent a little bit of time in Jacksonville when I go to visit my brother, but man, there's some rough spots in Jacksonville. Holy cow. We were staying in a, a little Airbnb house, little rental house, and the whole family, we all kind of got together. We all decided, let's all stay in this one place. And the house was really nice. It was perfect. It was a super nice little place. Little. I don't, I can't even tell you the square footage. 2000 square feet at 1500 square feet. Nice, whatever. But we get there and we're driving through this neighborhood and you can tell like the quality of the homes are like, there's some good quality homes. There's some kind of, of rundown homes. So as we're taking the corner into this little neighborhood, I, and we're driving up, I'm driving up, I got a rental car. My wife's in the passenger seat, my 12 year old's in the back. And as we're taking the corner, I see a, an SUV pull up to a home right in front of us. Just a. It's an unmarked cop car, which I don't realize until the lights all of a sudden flip on. I see the red and blue lights start blaring inside of the windows of this vehicle. Two cops dive out of the car, weapons drawn, pointing it into the chest of, pointing at the, pointing it at these two guys who are standing on the driveway of one of the properties. And then the guys pretty quickly comply with the officers with the guns drawn and they get down on the ground, they're like laying down. I'm driving into this neighborhood and my wife and daughter, everyone's just staring, mouths at Gabe, like, what the hell's going on? And I'm thinking like, do I floor it in order to get away from a potential gunfire as quickly as possible or do I try and maintain my speed? So I don't. So the cops don't think that I'm like involved in some nonsense. So I go with option two. I kind of take the corner and I'm watching in my rearview mirror as this is all going down and I see the guys get on the ground. I'm like, thank God. Thank God nobody's getting killed today. It's like Five doors down from where we're staying. So that was a hell of a way to get there. And so I'd see my brother. I see the great. The great Anthony. I see Anthony. And later the day, and I tell him, I'm like, yeah, I got here. Cops, man, they pulled weapons on this guy pointed at his chest. He's like, well, welcome to Jacksonville.
B
Holy crap.
A
Is that the way it goes in Jacksonville? Is that a Jacksonville thing? Yeah, no, we. Anyway, so thankfully, everything went well, but that was the talk of the weekend. And, yes, we locked all the doors on a routine basis. I was, like, not precisely sure what kind of neighborhood we're in, but that kind of gives us the message that was. That was good. So, anyway, we got back last night. I was hoping as we landed at Reagan national, that I'd be able to get a good view out of our plane window to see what the. The. The reflecting pole looks like at the Lincoln Memorial. But instead we came in. I don't know. For those of you who ever come into Reagan national, the planes will land one of two directions usually. And we. We actually came from the south. We were landing, whereas you look out the left side of the window and you see Virginia, you see Old Town Alexandria, and then you land at Reagan National. So we didn't get the. The great monument approach that you occasionally get. But here's a. Here's a tip for you. If you ever fly into Washington, D.C. you ever flying in, get the leftmost window seat you can, because there is a good chance you. That you will be able to see the monuments as you fly, and you'll see the White House and the Capitol and the Congress. It's very cool. And so I highly recommend the leftmost seat in the plane as you fly into D.C. all right, that's enough of that. We got a lot more to get to. We got breaking news this morning as it involves Iran. Let's. Let's talk about that. So here's the. The breakdown of the sequence of events that has happened over just the course of the last week. You remember at one point, President Trump had to stop Benjamin Netanyahu from leading a strike into Beirut, Lebanon. The Israelis have had to deal with Hezbollah, this. This crazy terror group funded by Iran, controlled by Iran in many regards, in fact, in every regard, as far as I can tell. And they've been. The Israelis have been striking all sorts of Hezbollah targets as a counter attack to Hezbollah strikes in the direction of Israel or inside of Israel. So that problem continues to be an enduring one for Israel. And at one point, the Israelis were heading to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon and a stronghold for Hezbollah right there in the suburbs of Beirut. And the President called Benjamin Netanyahu and said, stop, stop it. Knock it off, please. There's gonna be peace that will ensue as a result of an actual deal, and it will down to your benefit. I just need you to stop this right now. And for, for a moment. The Israelis did, they did stop. They heeded the President's demand here and they stopped, which is good. But Hezbollah hasn't stopped. Hezbollah has been just like out of control and they keep firing missiles in the direction of the Israelis. So the Israelis, in the interest of defending their own interests, have been returning fire up to and including actually striking the suburbs of Beirut over the weekend. Well, that started another sequence. The Iranians then directly got involved. Iran began launching missiles at Israel on Sunday, this weekend. And that was in, allegedly retaliation for the Israeli strike in Beirut. Again, because they don't like that the Israelis are defending themselves against Hezbollah, which is controlled by Iran. Everyone tracking so far, am I making this clear enough? I hope I am. So all these missiles start flying from Iran, Israel starts firing back at Iran and is taken, especially overnight, they took out a bunch of Western military sites inside of Iran. So now we've got. This is kind of, is a ramp up, a dramatic ramp up of where things have been. Things have calmed down quite a bit between Israel and Iran directly. And now those, those missiles have been firing throughout the night. Now, the President of the United States has of course, no doubt been behind the scenes trying to get a peace again here. And in fact, overnight, the President said the following on Truth Social. He said, guys, you have to stop. You've gotta stop. Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting. And then he signed it President Donald J. Trump, as he so often does on Truth Social. Then later in the morning, this morning, just a short while before we came to air with you, he says both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate ceasefire. Final negotiations on peace are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way. The blockade will remain in place and in full force and in effect until a final deal is reached. Things should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump. And then this. This is just seconds before we started live this morning right here on rumble. Rumble.com Vince. Join us at 8am Every day, everybody. If you're listening on the audio podcast, check in on the live show occasionally. The chat is amazing. You'll be a better person just by engaging in the chat. The chat's amazing. Here's what we got from the Wall Street Journal this morning. Iran says it has ended. Iran says it has ended wave of strikes Dateline Tel Aviv. President Trump said Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting. In a post on social media after the two sides exchanged volleys of fire in a tumultuous resumption of violence that tested the US Leaders fragile Mideast ceasefire, Iran's military headquarters on Monday said that it had, quote, delivered a painful response. I love, don't you love how stupid and like, ridiculous the Iranian statements are? Every time we delivered a decisive and destructive blow to the, to the, whatever, the Great Satan, all the garbage that they utter delivered a painful response in support of the oppressed people of Lebanon and announced an end to its operations in that regard, should aggression and hostile actions continue, including in southern Lebanon, far more severe and forceful measures than before will follow, it said, according to Iranian state media. The attacks and counterattacks, the Wall Street Journal summarizes, which began over the weekend and spilled into Monday, mark the first time that Iran and Israel have targeted each other since a cease fire that was brokered by the United States went into force in early April. They began with an Israeli strike on Beirut amid renewed fighting with the Iran backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah and threatened to escalate a conflict that has been largely contained since then, despite a series of low intensity skirmishes. Yeah, well, also, you know, it's not just Hezbollah too, it's the Houthi rebels in Yemen, also controlled by Iran, are firing missiles in the direction of Israel. So we got a lot of chaos. It continues. But here's the thing. If Iran was trying to test to see whether or not Israel would defend itself, well, they have the answer. Israel's defending itself. That's the answer. Is Israel going to work with the President of the United States? When the president says, hey, calm things down, yeah, it seems like that is the case. The president has to make these requests. But these are independent countries. The United States is an independent country of Israel and vice versa. And again, when it comes to the way this is all playing out, I keep reiterating the basic point, which is the President of the United States is not in any way controlled by Israel or Benjamin Netanyahu. Our priorities at any given moment are not precisely the same. And the president every so often has to grab Netanyahu by the shirt collar and say, slow down, son, slow down, it's gonna work. But you've gotta bear with me here. And that's what the President's trying to do right now, he thinks that he can still get a deal. He still is confident that he can get a deal. And my position throughout all this is like, let the man cook. Let the deal maker make the deal. The President this morning apparently scoring another calming of tensions despite the fact that missiles were firing like crazy this weekend between Israel and Iran. And so we'll see what happens. Just keep saying your prayers that we can bring this to a peaceful resolution. And I know, I guarantee I haven't stared at the chat the whole time, but there's plenty of people obviously whose position is wipe them all out, we've given Iran enough time. Just destroy everything, finish the job. The President, the reason the President isn't taking that course is because he has seen what that looks like in the past. He's not trying to create power vacuums or opportunity for more terror to rise. He's not trying to create more chaos in the Middle East. He's trying to stabilize it to resolve the chaos. Because in the end, as I've told you before, what we want is not the United States to be active in the affairs in the Middle east, except for to the extent that it redounds to our benefit, it's to have a country like Israel and other Middle Eastern countries be able to stabilize their own region without the United States having to have heavy handed involvement at all. That's the goal. And the President's trying to get there and he's working with Israel to try and get there and he's working with all these Middle Eastern countries to try and get there and he's trying to work with Iran. But Iran should know that the President does have a limited well of patience. If he becomes convinced that there is no way to secure a deal through diplomatic means, then he'll turn from gesturing to Marco Rubio at the Cabinet meeting to instead gesturing to Pete Hegseth and saying, Secretary of War, you know what to do. You know what to do. This is why also the President hasn't blown up all the infrastructure in the country. He doesn't want the civilian population of Iran to suffer. He wants them to have something stable to return to once all of this is over. That's why the power plants and the bridges continue to stand. That's it. It's as simple as that. The President's got a lot of heart and a lot of grit and he's fighting to get a good deal here. So we'll see what happens. But that's, that's the, that's the latest in this and it's just, it's just, you know, more drama. There's always drama. And the President has to juggle chainsaws constantly. All right, let's get back to domestic drama, though, because we've got election news for you that we have to talk about too. We've got breaking news on elections out of California. Spencer Pratt. Have you seen this? Spencer Pratt has fallen out of the top two now in the L. A Mayors race. Yeah. Yep. The new numbers as of this morning. We check the numbers all the time and here's what we know. Spencer Pratt has fallen to third as the Democrats continue to take. Do whatever it is they do in order to make it so that only Democrats exist on the ballot. Karen bass is at 34.7%. She holds the lead position in that race. Nithya Raman is at 27.1% of the count now. 27.1%. She had, she had a massive weekend. The election's been over for a week. She had a huge weekend. Somehow Spencer Pratt goes to third. 26.7. 26.7. Man, oh man, I'm out. Who's out? Stuff, stuff. And audiobook says I'm out. Where are you out at? Is it pride month for you? You don't have to be out. Bury it deep within, conceal it, hide it. For those of you listening on the audio podcast, somebody just wrote, I'm out. Congratulations. Spencer Pratt comes in third in this. In this count. Now, does anyone really believe that a woman that nobody's ever heard of suddenly just picked up a bajillion votes and now is in second place? It is beyond belief, actually. And for the dumb dumbs who say things like, and I've seen, I saw this on social media this weekend, are like, well, what do you think a Republican was going to win in Los Angeles? No, no, I mean, I'm hopeful. It'd be wonderful if it could be achieved. That's not what we were thinking. We were thinking that Spencer Pratt had enough support in order to make it into the top two so that he could get to the general election. Under these circumstances, two left wing nut jobs are going to be on the ballot for la. So LA is going to still be in a state of despair going into the future. That's the only guarantee there if you've got these two Democrats at the top. Nithya Rahman, she had, she had an amazing weekend. She just had the most unusual weekend imaginable. Just like, what a. What an. And if you listen to her on election night, it looked like she was, like, straight up conceding. I saw Benny Johnson sharing video of this. She was, like, crying about how well they did in the race. And thank you, everybody. She seemed like she was done, and now she's got second life, thanks to the corrupt California election machine. New York Times Progressive challenger overtake Spencer Pratt in race for LA Mayor. She pulled into second place. She pulled ahead of the reality TV star as a surge in the vote count. A surge in the vote count. What a weird expression. Signaled a potential shift in the race for second place. Five days after the election deadline, it remained officially undetermined who will now face Mayor Karen Bass, the incumbent. Oh, come on. Does anyone really believe that it is undetermined at this point? Like, is Spencer Pratt gonna have, like, a big ballot drop that gets him back into second place? Come on, Chad, you think that's gonna happen? No, it's not gonna happen. This race is done for. Spencer Pratt is done for. Barring some kind of credible miracle, you know, miracles can happen. I don't see it. Karen Bass and Nifty Rahman are the two that are going to appear on the general election ballot at this point. Late returns have trended heavily in favor of the liberals, who make up an overwhelming majority of the city's electorate. Ms. Bass, 72, a former Democrat congresswoman. Former Democrat congresswoman who has already advanced to the November runoff, remained in the lead. Ms. Rahman, 44, who has steadily gained ground as the count has progressed, had 27.1%, enough to overtake Mr. Pratt by a little more than 3,000 votes. He had been running in second place since election night. Now check this detail out. You ready for the ballot situation? Los Angeles residents vote by mail in large numbers. The New York Times. This is their excuse for why this is happening. And ballot counting is a slow process, which leads often shifting as the tally drags on for days or even weeks. Can I point something out to you as I do every day? You notice that the media is not skeptical at all about this. Instead, the media is just trying to calm you down, like the press. Instead of trying to tell you what's happening, instead of exploring the authenticity of the election the way that it's being conducted, they just hand wave the whole thing and they're like, actually, everything's working as intended. Don't you worry your little heads. Have you noticed that? That's. That's the theme. When you see this, you'll see it everywhere. You'll see it everywhere. It's all over the place. It's constant head Pats from the media telling you that it's totally normal for an election to stretch on for an entire week after election Day and for the person who was winning or in second place on election night to come in a distant third after everything's counted. Totally normal. So stop wondering about this. If you had a real media, if you had, if you had real news outlets, they'd be kicking the tires on this story. They'd be up in the grill of all these election centers. They'd be like, the federal government is right now. Bill Aseli and his guys who are inside of these election centers trying to see what they can find by way of fraud. The media would be pounding on these doors to do the same. They're not. They're making excuses because they support Democrats and they're perfectly content with fraud being the means by which they obtain power. But check this out. Mail in ballots with an election day postmark are accepted by county election officials through June 9th. Come again, June 9th. When is June 9th? That's tomorrow. Election Day was a week ago. They're still accepting ballots until tomorrow. And the ballots don't even need real postmarks on them. You know that they say an election day postmark. You know what a postmark means for most people? It means a stamped postmark from the US Postal Service that has the date. That's what it usually means in California. What they mean is if someone hand wrote a date on the envelope, that's good enough. That's good enough. How do we know that? Whistleblowers revealed that to Steve Hilton. Steve Hilton was talking about this a week ago on Fox News. He said if they just hand write a date on the ballot, it counts as a postmark. That's how insane California's elections are being run. That's how crazy it is. And you know who's sick of it? Well, you are and I am. And so is the President of the United States. I've got updates on this in just a moment. We've heard from the president on this subject. In fact, he's got a lot to say. And it led to a fiery exit from an interview on NBC this weekend. I'm gonna get to that. Just a moment. On this edition of this. Hey, I've been using the bone charge infrared sauna blanket. And my wife Alison loves the red light face mask. We love, love, love these products ever since they sent them to us. We can't recommend them enough.

All right, so the president is very skeptical too, about what's going on. Not just skeptical, outright infuriated. Here's the president on Truth Social overnight. He said the following. Has anybody been watching the crooked election going on in California? Two great Republican candidates are being cheated and so is America. Which if the Democrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow. Watch this election closely. President djt. Yeah, and I didn't even mention Steve Hilton. Steve Hilton has been slipping a bit in his standing in the polls, but he still sits at a pretty solid second place right now. I can show you the numbers on that. This is what he looks like as of this morning. Here is Javier Becerra is at number one right now, 27.2% of the count. Steve Helton has 25.9% of the count and Tom Steyer is sitting at 21.5. Now, could that change? Yeah, it could change. But right now it looks like Tom Steyer is back. He's about 300,000 votes behind Steve Hilton right now. So he's got a big way to go. We'll see. But Steve Hilton, I know he was telling Maria Bartiromo this weekend he feels pretty good about his standing. His belief is that he will be on that general election ballot again. They've got 72% of the votes in so far. 72. It's been a week since the election. 72% of the votes are counted. So keep your eyes on that race. But there is a chance, a very good chance that Steve Hilton is on that general election ballot. But the president's very concerned about this. And this weekend on NBC on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, President Trump called out how insane California's election is being conducted. Watch this.
B
Tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election and it's happening again right now in California.
C
Presented evidence.
B
Rigged. Right now. It's look at, look at what's happening to that. It's more days doing well in California. It's. No, they're not. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close. Coming up. That's how they know why they're doing that, because they're cheating on the election.
C
There's what do you have evidence to support?
B
I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.
C
Not.
B
And I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens.
C
But sir, that's not evidence.
B
You think it's appropriate.
C
That's how they count the votes.
B
You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking.
C
State local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.
B
No, they're crooked.
C
They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in counterparts crooked.
B
Just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the President's crooked.
C
To be fair, I'm not crooked.
B
But let's really. Well, you play right into their hands.
C
Let's get continue.
B
You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this rep. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide And I got 94% bad press. But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.
A
But you know something that goes back to the point that I was just making for you a moment ago, which is, do you see how incurious Kristen Welker is? She has no curiosity whatsoever about why California has a worse than a third world election processing system. No curiosity whatsoever. In fact, all she does is make excuses for it. That's normal. That's the way it's done. We asked the local Democrat officials about this election and they said it's totally normal. So it's totally normal. You have no evidence that there's anything out of the ordinary. What do you mean no evidence? Every other state in the country is more capable of counting an election. California can't do it. You have states with huge populations like Florida. They get their answers by election night. We know instantly who won these elections. California can't do it. Why is that? California has legalized, legalized ballot harvesting. Was that long ago that the media was willing to admit it was. Back in like 2010 or 11, the New York Times had a full blown piece on fraud that's being committed with mail in ballots. Now they pretend like no such thing exists because it, it redounds to the benefit of Democrats. That's why it's all power politics. But she's completely incurious. And you know, we, we have had stories out of California this year about the fraud that's committed in the state. Look at this. This was, remember we talked about this at the time. This one comes to us. Fraud from a local affiliate in California, but it's the national news desk writing about it. California woman admits paying homeless people to register to vote and sign petitions. Chat Am I going crazy? Do you remember this story? Wasn't that long ago Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64 years old, a California woman admitted to paying homeless people in LA's Skid Row area to register to vote and sign political petitions. According to federal prosecutors, Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, 80, acknowledged in a plea agreement that she worked as a paid petition circulator and targeted homeless individuals while gathering signatures throughout Los Angeles. According to court documents cited by the Washington Times, Armstrong carried voter registration forms and paid individuals between two and three bucks. These are homeless drug addicts, by the way, that she's paying. After they registered and signed petitions she was circulating. And then what home address did she have them put down? Hers. They were sending all the ballots to her home address. So you think this one woman who's handing out $2 bills to homeless people on the street, handing out cigarettes to get them to turn over their election ballot to her, you think she's the only one? No. This is rampant in California. It's amazing. It's amazing. And so there's the President having to explain this to NBC. And in fact this actually led to the end of the whole interview. This was an amazing moment. As President Trump said, I've had enough. I'm done with this stupidity. Here's the President walking out on Kristen Welker saying I've had enough of this
B
watch evidence than ever presented. Let's talk about your elections in this country. We're like a third World, country. Your elections are crooked.
A
Crooked.
B
And you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. But Mr. President, your one sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you darling. Have a good time.
C
Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
B
I've sat in the rain.
C
I know I've sat in the rain with you for an hour on and
B
off in the rain. And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great travel with a dishonest.
C
We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the synagogue.

He crushed the microphone. People, people noticed that at the end. He didn't, I don't think he intended to. Kind of funny, but he dropped the lapel microphone on the ground and then he just stepped on it. That's why the audio goes dead like that as he walks out. But he's done with it. He's like, why, why do I have to sit here and you pretend like you have no idea what I'm talking about. You just sit there with a stupid look on your face and you're constantly attacking me for pointing out that it is in no way, it is in no way a functional system that has an election continuing for a week beyond election day when it is pretty obvious that a no name dope is suddenly getting stolen votes, stolen counts in order to rise to number two in the LA mayoral race. The whole thing's a complete disaster. And your incuriosity is a total tell that you are only serving the interest of the Democrat Party, not the American news consumer. Now there is curiosity on the part of the federal government. On Friday, federal Justice Department officials were inside of these LA election centers combing everything. I've got details on what the federal government is up to right now in the midst of all of this. That's ahead on this edition of vince. All right, let's, let's, let's, let's thank our great sponsors today. I do have a. Oh, here's, this is a great new sponsor and I am so proud that I can finally tell you about them. I've, I love, love, love this product. I've been taking collagen. I take collagen from a great company called Native Path. I'm going to tell you about Native Path because they're, they're a new sponsor to our program and I, I think you should take them very seriously. Here in my house, we take them very seriously. We love them. Allison and I have been taking the Native Path collagen because we get a lot out of it, and I feel it. You know, I. I think I've told this audience before, I've got a. I've got a spine condition. It's called ankylosing spondylitis. I won't bore you with all the details, but I. I do have inflammation in my body all the time, and I'm always looking for ways to resolve inflammation. Collagen, I've found, has really been very helpful for me to reduce inflammation. And I know a lot of people have this, too, which is why I'm excited to share this with you. You know, if you wake up stiff or you feel like your skin's not bouncing back the same way, there's a reason for that. And I think you're going to love native path collagen. It's very clean. It's perfect. Collagen helps support everything from joints and bones to skin, hair. The problem is, as you get older, after age 30, your body often makes less collagen every single year. And by age 60, a lot of people lose about half of it. Did you know that? It's a big deal. Native path collagen helps replenish that protein. In fact, every little protein of collagen. It's great. I add it to my second cup of coffee. It's true. I really do. It adds 9 grams of protein like that. That's a quick. If you're ever trying to figure out how to add more protein to your diet, this is a quick way to do it. It's awesome. It does everything. It helps support the parts of your body that help you stay active, vital, more like yourself.

Well, the good news is the feds are all over it. The feds are all over it. In fact, here is U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, Bill Asale. He's been wonderful. We've talked about him a lot. Talking about the multiple investigations that are currently underway in California. Cut 3. Watch this.
B
Also wrote this on X today, quoting here. My office will not look the other way. We will investigate and prosecute. Every legal vote deserves to be counted. Every illegal vote cancels one out. We're not saying you found any. Any evidence of illegality at all, but this thing needs to be looked into. This thing has taken a long time.
D
Yeah, well, you'll never find it if you don't look for it.
B
Right?
D
And that's our point, is our eyes are open, our ears are open. We have charged election fraud. We announced a case last month. We have multiple other investigations which I can't talk about. I can't get into the specifics, but they are ongoing. The problem is California's election system sucks. That's the legal position.
B
Everybody would be in consensus on that.
D
The fundamental problem is their voter rolls are filthy dirty and they won't give us access. We are suing them. We need to get the voter rolls. We need to audit them. That's the only way we're going to clean this up. But the system as it stands is terrible.
A
Yeah. So the State of California, Harmony Dillon, has been trying to get the voter rolls For a while. She's the head of the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department. So her job is enforcing election law. And she's been trying to go after California to get the voter rolls for a while and they refuse to give them to the federal government. Now why is that? Why would, if you're, if your voting rolls are on the up and up, why wouldn't you just hand them over to the Justice Department for a quick look? See, they don't. But you know who they do give it to? They give the voter rolls to left wing NGOs, they give the voter rolls to left wing activist operations so that they can harangue people in California whether they're citizens or not, whether they're legitimately on the voter rolls or not to go and vote for Democrats. So that's happening in California. That's part of the scheme here. And Bill Asale revealed the extent of this this weekend. This was on Sunday. Sunday afternoon. He posted the following to X. He said California is blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. California allows first time voters, first time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including you. Ready for this? A gym membership card, an employer ID card, an employee. I'm sorry, what? An employer ID card. So, so you can bring your Walmart name tag in and you're good to go. Is that, Are you serious right now? Credit or debit card, prescription drug label and insurance card. And then build notes that California provides free health coverage, they call it medical. To illegals, to illegal aliens. This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver's license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look. Not only does it deserve a closer look, you know what we need? The Save America Act. That's what we need. We got to shut this down. You have to prove you're an American citizen when you register to vote. You can't show your go kart license when you register to vote. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. We have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. Clearly there are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing dead voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted so of disqualifying felonies. On top of that, California allows third parties. This is ballot harvesting. To collect and turn in ballots on voters behalf with few instructions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed and submitted each ballot. For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California's voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney general, the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections. Harmony Dillon, the assistant attorney general, sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws blocked the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don't apply to the federal government in this context. We have sued California in federal court and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed. What are they afraid of? I know what they're afraid of. The truth. They're afraid of the truth coming out. So in other words, this is playing out in court right now. The federal government is doing everything it can here. And the everything it can should, of course, include arresting officials who violate criminal laws in the United States of America. That would be good. Let's get. I'd like to see more of that big time. And I am certain that if they detect evidence of criminality that they can prosecute elections officials for, they will so hold tight for that. But that's, it's just crazy. I'm so saddened by what's happening in California, but it's such an obvious sign of why we need to save America act nationally. We need it now. On Election integrity Stuff, I want to take you back to the Meet the Press interview for a moment because there was another moment, that interview that really stood out. Now, I don't know why, I don't know why the media is still spending all of its time trying to litigate the events of January 6, 2021, but they are. It's like they can't get out of their own way. They're obsessed with it. And so here is Kristen Welker once again trying to make defenses for tyrannizing American citizens who walked inside of their own Capitol building. And she engages in a lie that the media will not give up. And the lie involves the fact that there were. The truth is there were definitely people who were allowed into the United States Capitol building by police officers who were standing off to the side and holding doors open for them as they came into the building. That's just true. It's not even a matter of real dispute. The video footage shows it. And yet to this day, the media continue to lie about that as if there weren't hundreds of people entering the building under those circumstances. Here's the clip of Kristen Welker with the president of the United States. Watch the exchange that they get into and then I'm going to show you why she's lying to your face. Watch this.
B
They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI go into the building. Those people walking around, they're looking, oh, isn't this night? They weren't in. They were being ushered into the building.
C
There's no evidence.
B
You had a bunch of dirty cops, and frankly, what they did was weaponization of our government.
C
Sir, there's, there's no evidence of that. More than a thousand.
B
No, there's none. You know what you do try looking at the tapes one time.
C
Would you take it.
B
Look at the tapes one time.
C
But 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.
B
You know why they pled guilty? Because they told they were going to jail for 15 years if they didn't. Should they pled guilty because they were frightened? They went down, they were ushered into a building. Many of them were arrested without even
C
going into the building with them, receiving taxpayer dollars.
B
The people were destroyed by dirty cops.
A
By the way, the, the reason the audio is so terrible and why you're hearing so much background noise. They're sitting under a metal roof, I believe, and there's a, an absolute downpour. The rain is just causing a lot of, of sound distortion.
B
And by we, many of those people should be compensated. Now, with that being said, the, as I understand it, the Weaponization Fund was going to set up a group of people, people that could be picked by anybody, fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis.
C
Okay?
B
Now, I don't know what's going to happen with the Weaponization Fund. I love the idea because people like you, the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful Resolute desk in the Oval Office. What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing.
C
Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. But
B
listen to me, listen to me. Let's talk about tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence.
A
There's nothing but evidence. Now, you heard what she said early in that clip where she said there's no evidence of that, that people were allowed in the building by police officers. Sir, there's no evidence. It's kind of the Leslie Stahl thing. Sir. Sir, there's no evidence of that. And meanwhile, President Trump was right in every one of these cases. In fact, before I even show you video which, of course, I have before I show you the video here, which, by the way, save this episode, because I feel like this is the kind of thing that's like. Like you probably run into this in your life. Like nobody was holding the door. Okay, well, then explain the following. You ready for this? A judge issued an outright acquittal of a January 6th defendant back in 2022 because the judge became convinced that the person was allowed into the building by the cops. A federal judge on Wednesday. This is back in 2022 acquitted a new Mexico man of misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the US Capitol building and engaged in disorderly conduct after he walked into the building during last year's riot. U.S. district Judge Trevor McFadden issued the verdict from the bench after hearing testimony without a jury in the case against Matthew Martin. McFadden said it was reasonable for Martin to believe that outnumbered police officers allowed him and others to enter the Capitol through the rotunda doors on January 6th of 2021. The judge also said Martin's actions were about as minimal and non serious as anyone who was at the Capitol that day. So we had. You had. You had an acquittal handed out on this basis that people were allowed to walk into the building, and yet she's saying none of that ever happened. Well, then tell that to the federal judge who became convinced that it did. And then I've got the video footage for you. Just like. Let's flashback here. Take a look here. This is Capitol police officers standing to the side as the crowd walks into the Capitol through the Upper west terrace doors. January 6th of 2021. Watch this. Here they are. Here's the police officers. You see them in the frame standing to the left and the right of the crowd. People are walking in. They're not running in. They're walking in. They're going in through this open door. Now, if you believe Christian Welker, you would be convinced that this footage just could not exist. This must be AI. There's no way this actually happened. It did. Look at it. It's actually happening before your very eyes. What, I'm not supposed to trust my eyes? I'm looking as this is happening. People are walking into the building. Police officers are standing there. That this is. What am I. What am I to conclude from this? There's no evidence of that. I'm staring at it. I would think. What is. You would call this? What. What's the. What's the E word for this? It's evidence. That's what this is. I've got more here. Here's more video of cops standing to the side of another hallway as protesters are strolling around inside of the building. Look at this. There's officers. They're directing the crowd. They're standing inside the building. Here come people. They're. They're strolling through. I believe this is called evidence. This is the kind of thing. Has Kristen Welker ever watched this in her life? Because it really only comes down to one of two potential explanations for Kristen Welker's behavior. One is that she lives so deep in a bubble that she has no idea that footage like this exists, because nothing she consumes would have ever told her that. Or two, she's that committed to the lies that she maybe is even convinced herself that this footage doesn't exist. This is real evidence. This is real. Does it mean that there's not video footage of people breaking windows and things? No, it doesn't mean that at all. But it does say that there were huge numbers of people who were let into the Capitol building at various entrances. I don't know what to tell you other than that's what the truth is. That's it. That's all we've ever asked for, is the truth. So there you go. That's. That's. Once again, it's just like, really, you want. You want us to pull the receipts because we have them as they just mindlessly make excuses for the left. So whether it's the theft of an election in California, it's fine. This is the way it's always conducted. Or whether it's relitigating constantly. The high holy day of The American Left, January 6th of 2021. It's like nobody was allowed into the building, really, because there was a guy who was acquitted for being allowed into the building. And I see lots of video footage of people being let into the building. What is that? That's what we called evidence. And that's where we can indicate once again, that you are lying. So when the president attacks Kristen Welker for being crooked. He's right. You're not in the news business. You're doing something else entirely. Speaking of that news business, it's completely falling apart. The establishment media. I don't. There's. I think the fake news is going through some death throes right now. Hey, there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. If you don't control your money, it controls you. You're not in control of your finances, and you have to look outside of yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in control. You're like, like, what is it that you actually want? Money should follow the dreams and goals because sometimes we make the dream and goal the money. And you've overworked yourself and you've exceeded what you've needed for the actual thing you want. Sometimes we forget, like, what's the actual thing you want? Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. And this is best, best exemplified this week by Scott Pelley. Scott Pelley, for those who don't know, was a guy who worked. He was a. He was a staffer at 60 Minutes for many years, which is a CBS News show. And Scott Pelley was just canned because he was insubordinate. Like, he shows up at his new boss's meeting and immediately starts crapping all over the new boss, not giving the guy the time of day, not giving him a chance. The new boss even goes out of his way to be like, hey, like, Scott, can we talk offline? I'd love to meet with you. Scott refuses to meet with him. So they can. Like, it's like a normal thing you would do if you, if a new boss shows up and then you instantly got this guy acting like a total jackass who's supposed to work for you, we'll get rid of him. If he's not to make the culture healthy, if he's not going to actually work with the team, then just get rid of him. So they did. CBS canned them and now he's going crazy about it. Here he is sitting down with the New York Times this weekend, moping about the fact that he and a bunch of his left wing friends are all getting canned at cbs. Watch this. Cut six. Why did you feel compelled to speak up?
E
It was fate. First of all, our entire senior staff had been wiped out. They're not there. I looked around the room. I'm the only correspondent there, which surprised me very much. I learned that my colleagues were out shooting stories, as they should be in the month of June. But I'm the only correspondent there, which surprised me. And I looked around at my friends and colleagues in the room and realized I was the senior person. Only I could do it. None of them could be asked to take that risk.
A
Could do what? So
E
when I saw Nick Bilton's email and then saw him reading to my brokenhearted people off his phone, I felt that somebody had to stand up for the broadcast. Not just the broadcast, but the people. There are people in that room who go to war zones when they are pregnant.
A
He's crying now he's crying.
E
Newsrooms are sort of like the military or the police or the beautiful people at the FDNY down the street. It is a life threatening job in many instances. And very strong bonds, very emotional bonds are found or are developed in that kind of setting. And to have people running CBS News who don't know that, have never felt that. What is he talking about? Understand? It is a tragedy I never expected to see.
A
It's not a frat. I don't know what he's talking about. He's like, they don't understand our friendship. What the hell does your friendship have to do with what you're supposed to be doing? You're supposed to find out what's happening and tell people about it. That's a news operation. And you listen as he's describing. It's like we've got war heroes in the room. What are you talking Now? There's no question that there are guys who get embedded with the troops, put themselves in perilous situations. I've had a ton of reporters who've worked for me who've gone out and covered these riots and have been in the middle of horrific gunfire. I mean, there's no question that there are journalists who are in some very dicey situations to try and bring those images and those stories to people. But to pretend like you're like a war hero or something, you're like, we're like the troops. Which. I've got a clip of that coming up. It's insane to me. And the fact that you're throwing a shit fit about CBS trying to restore some integrity to its news broadcasts, that's a sign that you shouldn't be there. Like, CBS was not in the business of trying to censor this. In other words, from what we've been hearing, they weren't. The directive wasn't like, hey, we have to censor anything. No, it was like, hey, start telling more stories that actually matter to the American people. That's apparently the conversation that they're having over there. And you know, like I told you about that one fella at cbs, Adam. I think it's Adam Yamaguchi, who's out in California. He's doing all these Nick Shirley style stories now where they're exposing all this fraud. He was showing all the cars and all the fancy garbage that these fraudsters have been purchasing with your stolen taxpayer money. I want those stories. Tell more of those stories. And I'm willing to compliment CBS on the stories that actually matter. To the American people if you tell them. But Scott Pally throwing a bitch fit that he's got a new boss and that they're demanding that he actually do real journalism. It's a sign you shouldn't be there. So just get out. Like Pelly. Pelly has been nothing more than a lick spittle for the left for years. And then when he sits down with a Republican or talks about President Trump, he craps all over him constantly. He's a hack. And that's what he's upset about. And he's upset. He's very upset that President Trump criticized him. Here's his reaction to the President's criticisms in this mopey New York Times interview. Some more crocodile tears from Scott Pelley. Watch this. Also said you were part of this gang of stupid crooked people that don't care about your country.
E
Stupid.
A
I can.
E
I can take that stiff. Yeah, probably.
A
He's self effacing.
E
Don't care about the country.
A
Just listen to this.
E
I've never worn the uniform, but I've been in combat for this country in Afghanistan, Weird rock, Kuwait, been shot at, spent nights in foxholes, filling up with water in the desert. I'm not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I'm wrong. You become a journalist, listen to these weird passages because you love the First Amendment. You become a journalist because you love the country. And while all the other descriptions that the President used about me might be
A
applicable, not that one.
E
There is no democracy without journalism.
A
Okay?
E
It can't be done.
A
Okay. All right. Not for this guy. So. So you listen to how he's talking. You listen to how he's talking. He's like, journalists become journalists because they love the First Amendment. That's bullshit. Now look, if you're in the business of journalism and you're doing it right, you value the First Amendment. But it's not love of the rules that makes someone a good journalist. It's love of the truth that makes them a good journalist. That's what it's about. The First Amendment is designed to protect your ability to tell the truth without fear of some sort of government consequence. That's it. The founders put the First Amendment into the Constitution very intentionally as a check on government power. And Scott Pelley has spent much of his career being defensive of government power when it empowers Democrats. So he's used those First Amendment protections to advance government power, which is kind of a pretty gross perversion of what the Point of that was in the first place. The First Amendment. Yeah. No, it's. Oh, they, they do it because they love the country. Are you serious? How many reporters couldn't care less about the well being of the country, who are agents of chaos themselves, who are perfectly content with the borders being wide open, who are not in any way skeptical of out of control government spending that, that impoverishes our grandchildren. You know what I mean? It's like, like, spare me the lectures about how much you love the country. We'll be the judge of that. And in fact, the American people have the lowest regard for the media that we've ever seen. And the reason for that is because the American people believe that the media do not love the country, that they're not on our side. That's how that happened. And that has nothing to do with President Trump. That has everything to do with you and your behavior. And also this thing about I don't know if the President was ever in a war zone. It's meant to be a passive aggressive shot. Like the guy never wore the uniform. Unlike me, I went to a war zone. Are you serious right now? President Trump was shot in the head by a would be assassin. President Trump has had more attempts on his life than most human beings on planet Earth. The hell are you talking about? Have you ever watched the news, Scott Pelley? Because you're definitely not reporting it. So it's a good thing CBS got rid of him. He doesn't even know that President Trump got shot at. He's probably one of these guys who thinks that the President's been faking his own assassination attempts. Nut job. Utter nut job. But I would say there's a good thing in all of this. There's some good things in all of this. One is like we're watching the death throes of the legacy press. We are watching them go through these final convulsions of their ability to even wield influence over the conversation. They're upset that they've lost power over it. And that's a sign of your success. The ability for independent media like this, the ability for us to communicate on social media, the ability for the truth to get out, for video footage to actually make its way out to public that tells the real story of what happened. So we get real perspectives and not the distortion filter that was previously applied by figures like Scott Pelley in 60 Minutes. We're breaking free from all of that. And that's the good news in 2026 for this great country which should endure for at least another 250 years. All right. We've got a lot more to get to.
