Vince
Yeah, that was an incredible event. That was an incredible event this weekend in Washington D.C. now, I did not go into the city to observe it. I, I stayed home in Northern Virginia. We had friends over and we had a wonderful time. I, I bought a bunch of overpriced, you know, roadside stand fireworks and I just launched them from the street in front of my house. It was really great and we, we enjoyed that, Did a lot of grilling this weekend bought way too many hamburgers and hot dogs. I've got. I've got endless. So if you want some, come on over. It's been great. It's just been. It's been really nice. We spent a whole bunch of great time together. But the cool, One of the cool things about Saturday and being in Northern Virginia is all of the planes were flying over my house. All of the amazing military planes were flying over my house. Including, if you're watching here with me, rumble.com Vince on the video version of the show, you can see here, this is a, this is the beginning of the video. That's, that's when I got the camera on and got it up in the air as Air Force One was going over the top of my house. Holy crap, there it goes. Air Force One and, and all of these great military planes. Look at this. That B2 bomber going over. Bunch of pixels deleted from the sky. There's another one. How neat is that?
- [03:26]
Gina
I missed Air Force One.
- [03:29]
Vince
There's the biggest view right over the top of the house. You've been on Air Force planes, you've seen it. Anyway, so it was plane after plane after plane. I can't identify all of them. Some of you are going to be much better at this than I am. We did have a great Air Force friend with us who was identifying each of the planes as they flew over. For me, it was very cool, but there they go, there they go, there they go. And then I'll fast forward to the jets.
- [04:00]
David Spunt
Look at that.
- [04:00]
Vince
Look at that formation coming over the
- [04:03]
Gina
top of the house.
- [04:04]
Vince
So cool. Anyway, that was really neat to see. And that just kept happening all day long. It was just like every time you start hearing them, you're like, oh, get outside. Everyone runs outside to see the planes. Pretty cool. Very, very cool. Now, the President of the United States did a great job. They had a weather delay on Saturday's event. The weather was kind of touch and go, let's say, in Washington, D.C. and they ended up with some rain. And then it broke. And they were finally able to get everybody out onto the stage and conduct the event. The music was beautiful. And the President, he did it in only a way that he could. Thank God he's president and not Kamala Harris. Look at your President Trump rolled out a bunch of historic American flags, took them out of the, the government's storage or wherever these flags are kept and showed things like a flag from the Battle of Saratoga dating back to the founding of our country. Look here. Cut one watch from the Beginning, we
- [05:02]
President Donald J. Trump
were a nation that lived by the motto victory or death, and live free or die. One out of every 100Americans gave their lives in the fight for independence to remind us of who these heroes were and what they gave us. We are honored to have here tonight in the heart of our nation's capital, one of the very first American flags ever to exist, dating back to 1777. It bears the 13 stars and 13 stripes of the 13 states that declared independence on the 4th of July.
- [05:47]
Vince
Amazing. I like how the stars are kind of crooked there. I like that.
- [05:52]
President Donald J. Trump
That is. This was the flag that flew victorious at Saratoga. And these are the real deals, too. These are the real. The real flags. These are flags that have seen a lot. These were the stars and stripes that flew triumphant when the British waved the white flag of surrender at Yorktown. That was a big surrender. Nobody thought that was possible. They were the greatest power of the world and they surrendered. And that was the beginning.
- [06:22]
Vince
Yeah, it was really good. I mean, and then he showed flag after flag after flag marking different moments in American history. He gave a flag that was given to Teddy Roosevelt. He showed that.
- [06:33]
David Spunt
That.
- [06:34]
Vince
That marked the Spanish American War and the Rough Riders. He showed a flag that flew over the Brooklyn Bridge. Just amazing. Just taking us on a tour through American history. He also gave us a preview of what he's going to do in the midterms. Did you guys pick it up? Chat? Did you pick up the midterm messaging that President Trump was using during this big America 250 celebration? Here he goes. Watch. Cut to. As President Trump rips the commies and he says, America will never be a communist country. Watch this.
- [07:06]
President Donald J. Trump
As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack. A generation after we fought and won the Cold War against the menace of communism, there is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success. These are not mere political disagreements like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty. It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl harbor, or even 9, 11. We're not going to let this happen to us. Believe me, we're not letting it happen.
- [07:58]
Vince
All right, that's perfect. So that's the President throughout the weekend. He was doing this for both in North Dakota as well as at that big event in Washington, D.C. on America's birthday. Here he is saying that in America, we cut communism out fast. And he talked about our great warriors who've been fighting communism. Cut three, Watch this.
- [08:19]
President Donald J. Trump
Of the American system and the communist system has never worked. Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We're not going to let it happen. We like to stop a threat like that immediately and before it begins. It's like a cancer. You got to cut it out. You got to cut it out fast.
- [08:50]
Vince
So this gets directly to what I think you and I can confidently say is going to be the midterm message here, that we have to defeat the radical left. Look, the reality is you and I have had a lot of conversations, and this is just between me and you and the many, many people who watch this program, but we've had a lot of conversations about the shortcomings of Republican elected officials. In fact, we'll continue to talk a bit, a little bit about that today because we desperately want the Save America act to be passed. And it hasn't happened yet. So that pressure needs to continue. There's no question that there are deficiencies among Republican elected officials. But when it comes to the midterms, we've got to defeat the Democrats. And not just the midterms, but beyond. We have to defeat these Democrats. Because if you think it sucks when Republicans have power and they fail to use it to our benefit, it really sucks when Democrats have power and they actively use it to our detriment. That's a massive problem. And we have to stop them. So the President of the United States is promising a message of aggression. 1. He's like, we're going to stop these guys. These guys are gonna be very destructive to the country if they get power. And we have to defeat communism as it wells up, especially inside of the Democrat Party, they have all sorts of battles going on right now in their ranks. A civil war in that party about just how radical they're going to become. We have to stop all of that. And so the president going into these midterms is clearly laying out what the message is. The other piece is that we've got the midterm convention coming up. We just got the announcement this past week. For those of you in Dallas, Texas. Well, it's coming. Producer Jim was not excited about this because he wanted to travel. He's a Dallas guy. He was like, I told. I said, jim. I text him. I was like, jim, look, the convention's coming to your house. And he's like, no, I wanted to travel. Well, now he's got now he's got a chance to stay there and I'll travel to him. Well, we'll probably travel to him for that Dallas convention. It'll be great. We'll have a midterm convention and the President is going to stay on this message that we have to defeat the radical left. And the President is going to be dragging the Republican Party straight across the finish line. Whatever he has to do in order to get midterm victories here, grow the margins and be able to get his agenda actually passed through the House and the Senate. We need more people, we need more backup. We need people to show up who can actually support the Trump agenda. That's what he's fighting for. So I paid it. My guess is you probably detected this too as you're listening to the speech. Like, wait a second, there's a political theme here and it's definitely about standing up for the greatness of our country and fighting these enemies that we've seen far too often, especially communism. Here it is in the United States. We have to defeat it here. That's the message. An amazing display by the President. Also the President did honor these great war veterans who were there. What an historic event this was. They had war veterans that they brought in the White House had arranged for World War II vets. We're talking guys in their hundreds. You had one hero legend 107 years old. We had war veterans from Normandy, from D Day. We had war veterans from Iwo Jima, from Chosin Reservoir, from the frozen chosen of the United States Marine Corps. Just incredible to see these heroes on stage. The 107 year old veteran was standing on his own two feet. He looked healthier than Joe Biden. He looked great. And it was the kind of thing you see these guys and it just makes you well up with pride. And I just had a tear in my eyes. I see them on stage there. Here's some video of them watching the fireworks display. This is cut 5. Watching the fireworks display after the President concluded speaking. Watch this. Just amazing. They're watching from their own memorial, the World War II memorial. An amazing display. Now, now first of all, I think that's the most epic view of the night. Just to see America's war heroes appreciating these great fireworks going up. It's a, it's a, it's a very late night by the way. It's like midnight when all of these fireworks are going up and there they are, hundred years old watching the fireworks at a memorial that's dedicated to the memory of, of them. And the sacrifices that were made by so many of our countrymen that did not come home from that war. God bless them. God bless them. They really are the men who have made America great. If you ever get a chance to meet one of the last living World War II veterans, and with each passing year, there are fewer and fewer. Thank them for saving the world. Thank them. Amazing. And by the way, speaking of thanking people for their service, if you meet a Vietnam veteran, welcome them home. Welcome them home. They were not welcomed the way they should have been when they came home. You can welcome them home now and honor them for their service. You know, it was really cool to see the fireworks. This audience knew in advance of everybody else that this was going to be historic because Doug Burgum told us earlier this year, the Interior Secretary exclusively told me on this program that they were going to be setting a world record for a fireworks display. They were going for the biggest fireworks show in world history. And sure enough, they did it. 850,000 munitions fired up into the air. A beautiful display for America's 250th birthday. Here's a time lapse video. Check this out. Cut for a 60 second time lapse video of the fireworks going up over Washington D.C. it was a 40 minute show and it's been condensed here into 60 seconds. Watch this. Look at that. It's just the crazy thing about the fireworks display is every second of the show would qualify as the grand finale to any other fireworks show anywhere. And the grand finale would typically just be like kind of one or two locations from which they'd be firing it up. Look at all of these locations. They had barges that stretched the Potomac River. You know, most Independence days there, the Potomac river is open to boat traffic, so people can sit in their boats and watch the fireworks go up on, on the 4th of July. This year was different. They shut the river down because there was no space for the boats to safely be out there because they needed to put barges across the entire Washington D.C. skyline to accommodate the legendary fireworks display, which was so cool to see. It was unbelievable. Look at the end of the, the end of the fireworks show. I was, we were, we were watching at home like, like so many of you. And I remember, I think my wife asked, she's like, what happened? Is everything okay? Because the entire image on our television screen, it was a whiteout. You couldn't see anything because. Because there were so many explosives going off all at the same time. At the very end, it just looked like everything had exploded. And actually it Was just a wonderful and explosive conclusion of the program. So many great views. Here's Mike Lee capturing this. I think he was on the Virginia side.
- [16:25]
David Spunt
Look at that.
- [16:27]
Vince
Just look at these fireworks going up. Amazing. Just amazing. God bless America. Amazing. And you know, it's funny, there was a New York Times reporter, of course, who was very upset by all of this. Her name is Lulu. Her name is Lulu. Lulu, I think Lulu Navarro. And she posted this. Why are we. She's. She was upset about the jets flying over D.C. she said, why are we having so many jets scorching over DC? It's nerve wracking. I get 250 celebrations, but it feels like the apocalypse. Yeah, there were, there were a lot of libs bitching and moaning about the fireworks. Complaining about the smell of the fireworks. Oh, no. The, the, you can, you can see the, the smog of the fireworks the next day. Why are there jets? I feel so scared. Why are you feeling scared? They're on your side. I feel great about it. I feel, I feel wonderful about. I actually kind of like the smell of fireworks, to be. To be honest with you. I, I kind of enjoyed it. We had the fireworks in the garage and we would walk out of the garage before we lit them up on Saturday. You smell kind of the, the powder, the black powder from the fireworks. You're like, man, it kind of smells good. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird. I liked it. He launched them. They smell great. They look great. So cool to see the jets. I'm like, those guys are on our side. Imagine being any other country and seeing those jets. Then you've got something to worry about. Americans seeing those jets just. It's a security blanket.
- [18:10]
David Spunt
It feels good.
- [18:11]
Vince
It feels very good. I don't know what she's whining about. It's. It's remarkable. We did have some amazing. And that. Some amazing images of those planes flying. By the way, here's cut 8 over Washington D.C. not just the video that I shot. Watch this. Right over the monuments. Eric Daugherty posting this to X as he so often does. Guy's a video machine. These incredible jets. You don't hear them until they're right over the top of you. That, that trailing sound. How cool is that? There's been some. So much epic photography of the, the planes going over. And then here, check this out. Here's cut nine. Here's a Marine Corps jet that's hovering right near the Washington Monument. The, the Marine Corps version of the Joint Strike Fighter. Check this thing out. Can you imagine again, I'm so glad these guys are on our side. That's our military. Just imagine being like any other country on planet earth and seeing this, being like, God, don't mess with America. Isn't that incredible? What incredible technology. Very cool. Very, very cool. At any rate, that's the, that's the Marines. Thank you to the Marines for being great. I've got more for you in just a moment. There's, there's a lot more to get to. I'm, I'm, I, I can't help but review how excellent this weekend was. We only get one crack at 2:50. There's a lot of us who aren't going to be alive for 300. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna marinate in this as much as I possibly can. I love, love, love this because we have a great country and it's so cool to be able to celebrate this with you. So hold on. I've got a lot more to get to. Patriot Mobile we got to thank today though. They're a wonderful patriotic sponsor of our program and they give me great cell phone service. My phone works better than ever. With Patriot Mobile, it feels like our country finally does have some momentum again. So many of us are fighting to restore common sense in America first, but we've seen all of this before. You know, conservatives will get comfortable and then the left will start taking back ground inch by inch. Now we can't let that happen. America needs every one of us in the fight and a big part of that means supporting companies that actually do stand for our values. That's why I do partner with Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile gives you premium priority nationwide service on any of the three major US networks. So you get the coverage you need. Plus unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, and 100% US based customer support. Switching easy. Keep your phone, keep your number, activate in minutes. But Patriot Mobile is so much more than a great wireless service. They've supported a growing movement of Americans defending faith, family, freedom and the future of this country by donating millions of dollars every year to organizations who are fighting for our freedoms. Go to patriot mobile.com vince or call 972 Patriot. Use promo code Vince for a free month of service. That's patriot mobile.com/vince. Our thanks to Patriot Mobile. They love our country too. They really do. Okay, let's see. Yeah, we. And then here's cut seven for you. I think this is Doug Burgum kind of reviewing how many fireworks we launched up into the air. Cut seven. Watch this.
- [21:49]
Dana
I know the plan was 850,000 fireworks. The goal was to break the world record. Did it?
- [21:56]
Gina
I'm confident we did. Anybody that saw it knows there's been nothing like that in the history of the US it was really spectacular.
- [22:04]
Vince
It was spectacular. Well, congratulations to the interior Secretary. Thank you to the President of the United States for putting on a great show. And God bless America. What a, what an amazing, an amazing weekend. And hey, look, the year continues with it's, it's not over yet. My bunting is staying up. My American flag is always up. We're going to keep celebrating here in the colonized household because we got a great country. You know, Doug Burgum, you saw him there, he was on CNN being interviewed. And he was defeating a lot of as, as these Trump officials so often do, defeating a lot of random left wing conspiracy theorizing about the reflecting pole. You know, they, they love crapping all over the reflecting pool. In fact, I think they actually love crapping in the reflecting pool. I think that's one of the things the left likes doing. But the President of the United States, he's cleaned the whole thing up. And this is causing the left to have a deep rage. They hate the president having visible signs of success because they think that if the president is responsible for creating attractive projects, that more people will be attracted to him. That's the psychology here. And so they want to stop it. And when the Trump administration says, yeah, there are a bunch of left wing vandals who've been trying to destroy the reflecting pool, the left is claiming, no, there's not. No, there's not. You're just terrible. So watch Doug Burgum as he corrects all these conspiracy theories. Cut 10. Watch this.
- [23:27]
Dana
Defended the expediting contract in order to try to get it fixed in time for July 4th. Now, of course, chunks of paint are peeling off floor. The algae has returned. What went wrong?
- [23:39]
Gina
Well, the algae is all gone. I mean, that was a momentary thing. As the, as it was being refilled, there was algae in the pipes. But the new technology, the nanobubblers that have been installed, if you go down there today and look at it, it is completely clean and clear. And so for the first time, there's actual solution that involves making sure that we've got an algae free pond. It keeps being reported that this was paint. It was not paint. This was an industrial liner that was put into the pool for the very first time. Multiple layers, fixing, two and a half Miles of expansion, but it peeled off.
- [24:13]
Dana
Why did that happen, Gina?
- [24:15]
Gina
It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been seven arrests. There was people literally trying to destroy part of a monument. The Reflecting Pool is not just a pool on the Mall. It is part of the Lincoln Memorial. And if anybody says that they're going to go and vandalize that, it's not no different than if someone was throwing.
- [24:34]
Dana
And you're 100% sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism? You can prove it?
- [24:40]
Gina
Yeah, absolutely you can. And as we drain it, we've got all the photographs we can see. I mean, there's no possible way there
- [24:46]
Dana
are photographs of a person or people cutting a 300 or 350 foot gash in the bottom of the Reflecting Pool.
- [24:53]
Gina
Dana, I'm not sure why you and others in the media think that you want to keep trying to question whether or not things. This is an industrial liner. Every farmer and rancher in America that's had their pickup liner lined by this sprayed on liner knows that you literally, literally, it would never just like peel off or fall off. This is like a strong material and it's the size of eight football fields. And the only way you can end up with actual slices in one spot and not the other is that someone physically cut it. And so the. But the pool itself, it's not leaking. It was leaking 45,000 gallons a day. It's finally been fixed by President Trump and the American flag blue is working perfectly. And again, it's beyond me why. I mean, the real scandal is about the fact that the state of our capital was in such total disrepair that some people. No one was reporting about, reporting about the pro Hamas graffiti on the.
- [25:50]
Dana
Mr. Secretary, you and I talked about this last month and we're still talking about it as a resident. Well, because it was July 4th and the reflecting Pool was closed.
- [25:57]
Gina
It was closed because it's surrounded by fireworks. It's closed every year on the 4th
- [26:01]
Dana
of July, but it was closed prior to that in order to fix the Reflecting Pool. But I do it.
- [26:04]
Gina
No, it's closed because the largest fireworks display in the country we talk about was set up and it lines either side of the Reflecting Pool. You can't have people around fireworks when they're being set up. Now that the fireworks come down, I
- [26:15]
Vince
just want to ask down.
- [26:17]
Gina
The fence will come down. The fence was there because of the fireworks.
- [26:20]
Dana
Copy that. I just want to ask you about one other.
- [26:22]
Vince
How many conspiracy theories did Doug Burgum defeat in under two minutes. She's just. Is that supposed to be a news show? She's just making things up. She's like, do you really have evidence for this? He's like, yeah, if you have straight line slices inside of the liner, those don't just emerge naturally. Oh, how'd that happen? Somebody cut up the liner. That's what happened. Doug Bergam's like, yeah, we got evidence. We're presenting it in court against these people. It's funny, though. He just goes through all that explanation and that's still not enough for her. She still wants him to grant. He wants the Trump administration. She wants the Trump administration to grant leniency to people who've been accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool. There was a guy who apparently was in the Olympics at one point who has been arrested and charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool. And if you've noticed, the media keeps referring to him as an Olympian. Olympian. They're going after an Olympian. I don't know what his time in the Olympics has to do with anything, actually, other than you trying to use it as some sort of shield for him to be held accountable for any crime that he's credibly accused of. But on cnn, she was trying to get the Trump administration to go easy on him. Please go easy on the guy who's been vandalizing the poll. Cut 11.
- [27:38]
Dana
Watch this about the vandalism. There is an Olympian, David Hearn, who was indicted for vandalism. The maximum sentence is 10 years in prison. He says he didn't do anything other than reach into the reflecting pool and look at, and pull out and look at a piece of the liner that had already been cut. Do you really think he should face a 10 year prison sentence for doing this? This is somebody who competed for America and, you know, did extremely well there and is saying he didn't do anything wrong.
- [28:12]
Gina
You can be a former governor, you can be a former this, you can be a former that. But just because you were a former something doesn't exclude you from the law today.
- [28:21]
Vince
That's right. Nobody's above the law.
- [28:23]
Dana
Do anything to actually hurt it other than pick it up because it was already appealing.
- [28:28]
Gina
He can say what he wants to say. I wasn't there. I was not an eyewitness. I mean, the courts will decide. But I think the, the law stands. That is the law that exists, and it should be. Again, if people are, you know, damaging federal government property, if people are defaming our, our monuments, they should face the consequences. Of that.
- [28:46]
Vince
Right.
- [28:46]
Gina
The courts will decide.
- [28:48]
Vince
Yeah. Send a clear message. You jack our stuff up, we'll jack you up. That's how it works. That's how it works. And so now he can face a court of law and they can work out the details. But this is like, you know, it's too much. It's like these lefties are crazy. So they destroy nice things and then their media outlets cover up for them and pretend like, oh, nothing actually happened. You're just making it up. Nope, not making it up. You can. Your lies don't work anymore. They don't work. We don't buy it. And we're going to defeat you with the truth. It's always going to. That'll always work for us. Always. I've got, I've got more truth to share with you. We've got a lot to get to. I've got the Save America act for you. Now, the President, I told you a moment ago, he, he announced his, his plan to go after the commies this year in the midterms at that big speech that he gave in front of the nation on Saturday. But he also brought up another element. He brought up the Save America Act. We'll get into the president's words on the matter and also what Mike Johnson is now saying he's doing on it. So we've got a lot to get to as this week begins. Very busy as we head into, head into the mighty summer. More ahead on this edition. Events want to thank our great sponsors for making our show possible. Then right back into it. You know, I want to thank Helix Mattress. First and foremost here. Helix Mattress. I sleep so well because of our Helix Mattress. We've got the midnight lux in our house and it has been game changing. We had a couple of crappy mattresses. I didn't realize they were so crappy. I thought they were the good stuff. We, we, we got them. We went to the mattress store. We tried out mattresses. We're like, okay, we'll go with this one, I guess.

Got to make sure I can gavel in. There we go. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. This Saturday cut to talking about out
- [32:57]
President Donald J. Trump
the save America act, never before America is back. And we want to keep America great. And we will do so by approving the Save America act, which means all voters must show voter id, all motors, All voters must provide a little thing called proof of citizenship. And there will be no mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment or travel. And you won't have cheating on the elections anymore. It's very simple.
- [33:41]
Vince
It's great. You know, it's fun. The President apparently has been, reportedly has been telling senators, including in that Republican lunch that he went to when he was smacking a bunch in the moran about all this, that, you know, they can talk about all this other legislation, FISA and housing and all these other priorities that they seem to have other than election integrity. And as far as the President's concerned, nothing matters unless you get election integrity. He goes, because I go out on the road and I'll talk about the housing bill. I'll get like some polite applause. I talk about Save America Act. He goes, everybody's on their feet. Nothing gets Americans on their feet like election integrity. And so the President has noticed this at the rallies. Obviously, he's. He's sincerely concerned about election integrity, but he's noticed that the voting public demands it enthusiastically, that you and I are demanding it enthusiastically. And as a result, he's trying to tell these senators, guys, wake the hell up. Do you understand what voters want? Because I'm talking to them. I'm out there on the road, I'm doing these rallies, and when I bring up the Save America act, people go absolutely crazy for it. You got to get it done. You have to make a priority one. So the President thinks so sincerely about this that he integrated it into his Independence Day speech, which of course, the left is freaking out about. Oh, no.
- [35:13]
President Donald J. Trump
Oh, no.
- [35:13]
Vince
What are you freaking out about? If you're winning elections fair and square, then you got nothing to worry about. But that's not how they win elections. They use fraud, they use deception, they use deceit. And so the President's fighting for a very important piece of legislation. We need this to become law. Now what is Congress doing about it? Well, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, was on television this weekend, and he's still using this strategy. I'm going to push it through reconciliation. I'm going to push it through reconciliation. Okay? Now, I. You and I have gone over many times why I don't believe this is going to be a meaningful way for us to get anything done. Reconciliation is a budget maneuver. It's not a real way to affect statutes and laws across the country. But Mike Johnson says, I'm going to push it. I'm going to push it. And the president has asked Mike Johnson for evidence that it's actually going to work. He's like, really? I got to see some real action on this. Here's Mike Johnson. Let's see what he said this week. And cut their team watch legislation.
- [36:07]
Mike Johnson
I just decided it was best to send everybody home to go celebrate July 4th in their districts. We'll come back, gather, but together, the big urgency is to get Save America passed. The President has that as a top priority, and so do I. We passed it three times in the House. We're going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill, and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate and finally to the President's desk. So that's forthcoming.
- [36:29]
Vince
That's forthcoming. Now, again, I've, you know, we played some audio for you before. Mike Johnson is making this claim, like, oh, we're going to create a fund. And then states who want to access it to have election integrity, they can do that. And hopefully blue states come to their senses so they can access this fund. Now, that sounds like garbage to me. That sounds like a garbage, nonsensical arrangement to me. I don't understand. I don't think any blue state is going to be tapping into this fund in order to actually have real election integrity. If anything, they're just going to steal the money. You know, can you imagine Tampon Tim Walls making a decision about what to do with money? He's not going to improve Minnesota's election system. He's just going to steal the money and not improve the system. So, again, I'm very skeptical, but this is one of those moments where we have to have some trust that the President of the United States is going to quarterback this the correct way, that the President is not going to have a fast one pulled on him here, that this will be real, meaningful progress towards securing America's elections. Now, Mike Johnson said in that same interview that the top two priorities that he wants to pursue for the Save America act in this reconciliation scheme is voter ID and verifying that people are American citizens when they register to vote. Prove it, Mike.
- [37:43]
President Donald J. Trump
Prove it.
- [37:43]
Vince
Because as far as right now, as far as I can tell, we've got a lot of people standing in the way, including some Republicans in the Senate. We've got a parliamentarian that Harry Reid put in place who's not going to allow anything meaningful to get through. And even if you fired her and replaced her.
- [37:58]
Mike Johnson
That.
- [37:59]
Vince
That's still no guarantee that something meaningful we can get through. So I'll just be honest with you. I am deeply skeptical of this entire gambit. Deeply. I'm willing to be proven wrong. I would love to be proven wrong. I hope Mike Johnson can prove me so wrong that I'll have egg all over my face on this subject. And I'll be like, you know what? He did it. He knocked it out of the park. I didn't think he could. He pulled it off. I'm not holding my breath. But I am keeping an eye on you, Mike. Come on, Speaker Johnson, don't sell us a bill of goods here. Actually do something. If he can get to a point where every state in the country requires photo ID and proof that you're an American citizen when you register to vote, that would be epic. That would. That's. That's a start. That's precisely the kind of start that you and I are looking for. I'm not buying it yet, though. We'll see what the president has to say on the subject as the week barrels forward. But right now, this is the plan. Mike Johnson, with that reconciliation package, and President Trump seems okay with it for now, but you and I can keep an eye on it. And please keep the pressure on the Senate. Really, it's so crazy to me that they haven't even really begun a real debate on the actual legislation. The House has already passed, the Save America Act. The Senate should be standing on their own two feet debating this, but. But we don't even have that. Instead, we just get a lot of games. The Senate's on vacation. Mitch McConnell. Is Mitch McConnell hospitalized right now? McConnell has disappeared entirely. We saw these reports that, that in June when he collapsed. It turns out that the EMTs show up at the house, they perform CPR on him for cardiac arrest, and then he's disappeared from public view. There's just. There's just a lot of not passing the Save America act going on right now, which is a source of great frustration. But please keep calling your United States Senator. Keep the pressure on, would you? That would be. That would be wonderful. We do have some election integrity news. That's super interesting, though. Very interesting. So before I signed off on the radio show on Thursday, we were getting reports that the investigation into 2020 is reaching a new level, especially as it relates to Fulton County, Georgia. Now, you probably remember back in January, the FBI raided of this year. The FBI raided Fulton County, Georgia, and grabbed the ballots and documents from the 2020 election. Take a look. Here's cut 14 of that raid back in in January.

David Spunt
Watch.

Vince
Fox News is learning FBI agents are on site at a Fulton county election office in Georgia where they are conducting a search. David Spunt's got more details for us on this developing story.
- [40:45]
Dana
David?

David Spunt
Hi, Sandra. This is a satellite office for the Fulton county elections office. The FBI Atlanta Press office confirming this, not giving many details, saying that the FBI is executing a court authorized law enforcement action. No other details at this time. But we do know via sources a judge signed off on this warrant allow these agents, as you see them, enter this building to take items from the inside. Now, we're told that this is a sealed matter before the court, meaning details are now limited. Now agents are looking at documents, phones, computers. We are told via multiple sources this is related to the 2020 presidential election. Now, we don't know specifically what agents are taking to the FBI lab items that may eventually become part of a federal case. You may remember President Trump was charged in Fulton county with trying to overturn the 2020 election results. That's Brad Raffensperger right there. He is the secretary of State of Georgia. That is the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Now, Raffensperger spoke to President Trump back in early 2021 and Trump said that he wanted to find some 11,000 votes to help win the election. Raffensperger said that he felt pressure from Trump. Willis then took Donald Trump to trial. That didn't happen in 2023. She said that her prosecution was all buttoned up, ready to go, but it was completely derailed after it was revealed she had an intimate relationship with the top prosecutor on her team and it could have tainted the case. Late last year, a judge dismissed the case in its entirety. It's important to point out, Sandra, that a judge typically would not just sign off on a warrant so the FBI could go on what's known as a fishing expedition. It's likely the FBI and DOJ presented some credible evidence to the judge for the judge to go ahead and give the green light. No immediate comment from the Justice Department. Again, the FBI.
- [42:34]
Vince
So that was of course, the January report and that was signed off that that raid was signed off on by a US Magistrate judge in Atlanta. The warrant authorized the agents to seize all of the physical ballots from the 2020 election, voting machine, tabulator tapes, images produced during the ballot count and and voter rolls from the 2020 election. Now, the reality, of course, is that that Fulton county is a complete dumpster fire. I mean, these guys have already admitted to mishandling many, many ballots. They were certifying ballots inappropriately. It's been a complete disaster. So is there justification for investigating the way the 2020 election was conducted? 100% and the FBI has been doing it. And and here's the update for you today. So this is the big update from over the weekend. CBS reports that the FBI has now ordered this is the Cash Patel led FBI just out July 2 headline here. The FBI has now ordered field offices to send analysts to Atlanta for the 2020 election investigation. Field offices all across the country to help evaluate thousands of records, according to multiple sources familiar with the events. The memos calls on every FBI field office across the country now to assign analysts seeking to reach a total of 260 analysts. Large field offices are being asked to contribute eight analysts each. Small and medium offices must dedicate between three and five analysts. They're being asked to review 708 records apiece and complete the work by July 17th. So that would be 11 days from now. According to the memo. These tactical intel staffers typically provide help with day to day casework such as running license plates or doing open source checks on subjects of investigations, phone analysis, preparing subpoenas and reviewing subpoena returns. They say the surge of personnel was first reported by Ms. Now President Trump has repeatedly alleged without providing evidence, yada yada yada. Fulton County, Georgia so this is, this is a fascinating development. So here's an obvious thing to think about. Is there any circumstance where Cash Patel and the FBI are sending agents from all across the country to Fulton County, Georgia to review these records? And they're doing it because it's just a snipe hunt that they've got nothing. They got absolutely nothing. No. Jim Rome takes on sports. I will always have a complicated relationship with this game, but people evolve. So do sports. Do not make me regret this. Do not make me devolve back to that guy that so many clones wish that I still was. And do not embarrass the entire country. Now I can go back. I can get there fast. Lose tonight and you got a real problem. Do not blow it. The Jim Rome show podcast.

Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Of course not. The reason they would have all of this personnel assigned to one case in order to review all of this evidence and get it done in a fixed timeline is because they think they have something meaningful here. The president has indicated many times now that we have prosecutions coming related to the 2020 election. And this certainly seems like forward progress on that subject. Meanwhile, of course, we've got the big grand conspiracy case going on in South Florida where we very eagerly await indictments in that case. That's been a source of immense freak out for people like John Brennan and James Comey who are constantly spazzing out on their favorite cable networks about the fact that they're under investigation. John Brennan just this past week decided to sue the United States Department of Justice and told him, you better preserve all these records for your crazy behavior, to which the Justice Department probably laughed in his face. Preserve the records. It's called evidence. We're definitely preserving it because we're coming after you with it. Good luck, John Brennan, as he sues the Justice Department. That's a sign of desperation in the midst of all of this. So wanted you to keep an eye on what exactly is going on here because this seems meaningful. The the Georgia case has reached a new level, Fulton County, Georgia, as the FBI has assigned all these people. And remember, there's also a role for the director of National Intelligence, apparently because Tulsi Gabbard was present at the raid in Georgia when all of this was going down in January. And now subsequently, Bill Pulte, who is currently the acting director of National Intelligence, the president of the United States has said, hey, I'm going to need you to declassify everything that you possibly can related to the 2020 election and help us go after all of this. So this is a part of Bill Pulte's mission, too. So as you and I look at all the tea leaves here, we're beginning to get a very clear picture that there's something very meaningful going on with the 2020 election. So keep an eye on that. That's really wonderful news. Now going into this 2026 election, these midterms, do we have any positive indicators heading into the election to help the midterms? Well, the president, I told you, he's got this, he's going after the communists as he said in the speech. We're going to have a big midterm convention coming up. Also, gas prices have have you noticed this perhaps in your own town? Gas prices have continued to fall. Oil prices are hovering near pre conflict levels. Now that would be pre war levels with Iran as OPEC boosts output again. Fox Business reports oil prices hovered near pre conflict levels on Sunday after OPEC agreed to increase production again adding to global crude supplies as exports through the Strait of Hormuz continue to recover following months of disruption. The oil producing alliance saying it's raising output targets by 188,000 barrels per day beginning in August, marking its third consecutive monthly increase as it gradually unwinds production cuts that were implemented in 2023. So in other words, there are now, quote, easing concerns about a lingering global supply crunch. And this will result in global energy prices coming down and gas prices coming down. They are coming down across the country right now. I'm seeing some people in chat saying that they're still paying too much for gas. You're always, everyone's, we're always paying too much for gas, aren't we? But the gas prices are coming down right now, which is a really big deal. In fact, let's check the gas price as of this morning. Oil prices right now. Look at that. That's interesting. That's a good sign as we look CNBC with the coverage here. $68 a barrel right now. $68 a barrel. Brent crude, meanwhile, $71.78 a barrel. So this is all coming down as we speak. The president keeps pointing to this going, ladies and gentlemen, I'm getting the gas prices down. That's going to make, that's going to have a big impact going into the midterms. Also. It's a source of great frustration on the left. They're very upset about this. They're always upset anytime anything happens that with, with President Trump that isn't bad or is good. They're very upset. They were hoping gas prices would skyrocket when, when this war began. They were like, oh, man, I can't wait for gas prices to skyrocket. This really hurt Trump. And meanwhile, they've been stubbornly kind of staying a little bit lower than these guys had anticipated. And now they're going down. Yeah, there you go. Left. There you go. Perfectly Great. Wonderful. We've also got some, some more information for you about what's going on to kind of the latest with the war in Iran. There are some headlines over the weekend that Israel reportedly had attempted to shoot down Iran's negotiators at one point. This is a Daily Caller headline. Israel reportedly attempted to shoot down Iran's negotiators. Israel attempted to kill Iran's negotiators on their plane after talks between the US And Iran had concluded in Pakistan. The New York Times reported this. The attempt occurred in the air as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi and Iranian Parliament speaker Mohammad Galiboff were flying home to Tehran from talks in Pakistan, citing anonymous US Officials. As the officials were en route flying home, Iran's security forces notified the plane that Two Israeli fighter jets had entered Iranian airspace with the intention of attacking it. However, the plane was not shot down and made an emergency landing in Moshad, Iran's closest airport to Pakistan. According to the Times, the diplomatic jet also had an escort from Pakistani fighter jets. The Iranian diplomatic jet was carrying more than 70 other Iranian officials during the flight, the outlet reported. The White House, the State Department and the Israeli Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. You know, perfectly content with Iranian lunatics getting killed off by the president of the United States, fighting for our interest, not content with any attempt to upend our negotiations. So, you know, if, if the United States is actively engaged in negotiations with an Iranian official and we need that person alive to continue those negotiations, don't get in our way. Don't disrupt those, like, settle down. And in fact, the president of the United States feels pretty good about the, the power he exerts over all of the players in this conversation, that includes Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. The president told Axios this weekend that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does know who the boss is in this relationship, which is great news, he said. President Trump told Axio Saturday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked him for a meeting at the White House and that it could take place as early as next week after Trump returns from the NATO summit. Quote, we get along very good, said the president. Netanyahu knows who the boss is, he said in a brief interview, referring to himself. This will be the first meeting between the two leaders since they met in February, where Netanyahu had reportedly briefed the White House in the Situation Room ahead of the war launching in Iran. So this will be a return by Netanyahu taking place very soon. And the president says, don't you worry. Bibi knows who the boss is. He knows who the boss is. That's good news. The president of the United States controlling the conversation here, despite the claims that Netanyahu controls Trump. Yeah, I don't. I don't think so, and I don't think. And the president, pretty clear on that subject. I'm the boss. He said. I'm the boss. Not the first time we've heard him say he's the boss. Remember this last month, Watch. Here's President Trump at 16.

I'm the boss. Isn't that fun? That's great.
- [53:51]
President Donald J. Trump
Yeah.
- [53:51]
Vince
He's the boss, all right. Let's see here. That's. That's great news. Oh, speaking of the boss. All right, I. I do have to get to this detail. The United States men's team is playing today against Belgium in the World Cup. And I don't know about you. And I think as the games have become more and more high stakes and as the United States has advanced more, suddenly, I'm actually watching more. I admit. I'm watching soccer. I've been watching it. I watched, I watched England defeat Mexico last night. I was up a little late for that, but it's actually been kind of exciting to watch the World Cup. Now, I don't envision myself becoming a soccer watcher with any permanence after this is all over, but whatever. I'm watching the World Cup. I'm enjoying it a great deal. It's been a lot of fun. But one thing that was absolutely crazy this past week is the fact that, that our top scorer on the U.S. men's National Team was given a red card, which means he was kicked out of the remainder of the game. His name's father and Baligun. He was kicked out of the remainder of the game. He was playing. And that was 30 minutes of time. This boggles my mind that they have like a 30 minute power play in soccer. So he gets thrown out of the game. That means the United States was, was short of man. They still won the game despite not having their best scorer. And the way the red card apparently works is the subsequent game. He would also be banned. That it was supposed to be some sort of mandatory ban to kick him out of the game. Now if you go back and you watch the footage, it. The contact that he made didn't look like it was purposeful or anything. It looked entirely incidental. And soccer experts who have much better subject matter understanding than I do are saying that it is ridiculous that he was ever given a red card to begin with. He wasn't originally red carded by the referee. They went to a video replay. They started watching it at the conclusion of the video replay, watching it in slow motion. They decided to give him a red card. And everything just about that arrangement just seemed like a total, total betrayal. Like, that did not seem sensible at all. Now, he was a gentleman about it. Fowler and Baligan was a gentleman about it. He shook hands with the ref. He walked off the field and has just been. He's like. He said after the match, he's like, look, I think at worst I should have been given a yellow card. I think it was unreasonable to give me a red card. But he was expecting not to play tomorrow. I mean, today, rather. Here's the thing. We got an indication. The first indication I had that things had changed is the president of the United States posted a truth social yesterday. Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right and reversing a great injustice. President Donald J. Trump. So he posts this yesterday afternoon. I go, what is he talking about? What's happening here? And the answer to that question is Foller and Baligan had his suspension reversed yesterday. This is. This news is massive. All across the planet right now. His suspension was reversed in what they're calling a huge boost for the USA World cup hopes. Well, that makes sense considering is our top scorer. That's a big deal. So what happened exactly? I thought this thing was mandatory, that he couldn't be in the game. Well, allegedly. The. The New York Times reports that President Trump himself got involved. Trump asked FIFA to review US Players suspension. Now he's eligible to play now without even knowing more details about this. If that's all true, if the president asked for an appeal, if he made a personal appeal to FIFA, would you take a look at this? If that's the arrangement and we got our guy back and he can help us win today. What an amazing story. Thank you, President Trump. I'm not sick of winning. That's amazing. And any American citizen who's observing this should be overjoyed that the president put in the effort. If that's the case. Kamala Harris would never. Kamala Harris can't even describe what's happening on a soccer field. But President Trump apparently intervened to save the U.S. men's National Team so they can play full strength. That's an amazing story. I love that. And, and so here's what the New York Times says about it. They said President Trump called Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, in the hours after the US Men's soccer team played Wednesday and asked him to review the suspension of the team's top goal scorer in the World cup following Baligun after he was given a red card, according to four people familiar with the conversation. On Sunday, FIFA reversed the suspension, announcing that Mr. Baligan would be eligible to play Monday against Belgium. The reversal is highly unusual. It's the first time since 1962 that FIFA has allowed a player to appear in a game when they would have been suspended after being sent off in the World Cup. Mr. Infantino has spent years trying to curry favor with Mr. Trump, the new York Times says. And then they go on to suggest that this, this whole concept is basically that FIFA sucking up to Trump. They really want him to like them, and therefore they reversed the suspension of Fowler and Baligan. Now, there are. Having said that, I saw Axios has a reporter by the name of Mark Caputo who said that there's a lot of overstatement going on, including from the New York Times, that President Trump didn't make an appeal directly. That what he did was he called Infantino and he said, hey, just explain what happened here. He just asked for information. He didn't make a specific ask, says Mark. And he was told it was being independently reviewed, quote, if Trump had put his thumb on the scale and had achieved this result, he would have a field day bragging about it, said a source to Mark Caputo. Now, look, I hope the President did ask for an appeal, to be honest with you, I really do. What's the problem with that? There's no problem. I love how people are like, well, that would be corruption. How would it be corruption? Any government leader can talk and ask anything they want. Any of us could be like, hey, would you review that? That seemed unjust. Can you review it, please? So if the President asked them to do the right thing and then they did the right thing, why would that be a problem? Exactly. It's not a problem. It's wonderful. So I hope the president asked for an appeal. I hope the president is the reason that this guy's playing. And I hope that all of the people bitching get to watch the U.S. men's National Team win today so they can complain even more. That would be great. And they are complaining. There's people with Trump derangement syndrome here in the United States are all pissed off about this. Here's Nicholas Kristof, goofball at the New York Times. He goes, this will appear to the world as favoritism and as FIFA bowing to political influence. If the US Wins, I fear that much of the world will see it as a win with an asterisk. And as Trump's America making its own rules, even in the sports world. First of all, dumbass, if the guy was removed from the game because of an unjust ruling on the field to begin with, the asterisk would be. If Belgium won today, that would be the asterisk. Now the United States plays at full strength. Now these teams can actually compete each other on an equal playing field. And you're whining about it because Trump might look good. This is the same group of people who destroyed the reflecting pool just because they're angry that President Trump made it more beautiful. Trump derangement syndrome is a hell of a disease. It's crazy. Meanwhile, the rest of us are rooting on America as always. I've got the big national radio show coming up today, the VIN Show.com to get your local radio listings.
