Okay. Save back update. Here we go. Let's dive in. What the hell is happening? We're going to get this thing across the finish line. Well, your phone calls and emails to Congress are clearly having an effect that all of Congress is very rattled right now that the American people are so fixated on saving our elections by verifying that only American citizens are registering to vote and that only American citizens are voting when they demonstrate with their ID that they should be. They hate this on Capitol Hill. They hate that you care. They hate that you're involved. And Democrats hate that the fraud may be ending, but I love it. So please keep up the pressure. Anna Paulina Luna has, who has been a standout on this particular fight. The congresswoman. She is among 13 members of the United States House of Representatives who yesterday have issued a warning to John Thune that he's delayed this long enough. Now, they don't say that he delayed it, but they make it pretty clear that he's in charge in the Senate, which he is, and that the Senate has been delaying this legislation for now over 300 days. And her position, quite frankly, is that's garbage. And now it's time to move on this. Look at this. This is Anna Paulina Luna. A message to Leader John thune from herself, 12 other members of the House. She says, dear Leader Thune, we are writing to make our position unmistakably clear. The United States Senate must invoke the standing filibuster and vote on the Save America Act. The American people are not confused at all about what this bill does or why it matters. The Save America act simply Requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. It's not extreme. It's not partisan. It's the most basic safeguard necessary to protect the integrity of our elections and restore public confidence in our democracy. And they go on and they say that it's been over 300 days now. This common sense legislation has been delayed by the Senate, and this delay has consequences. Every day that this happens another day, voters see a political class unwilling to do what the vast majority of Americans already support. I got to tell you something what this is. And yes, it's a letter that these lawmakers are sending to John Thune, but it's a public declaration that John Thune is on notice. And it's coming from Republicans, elected Republicans, who up until this point have been pretty kind to John Thune despite the stakes of this fight. They've been pretty kind to him in public. They've resisted these kinds of declarations. But here they are. And she's saying. They're saying election integrity is not optional at all. It's not negotiable. When the Senate refuses to act, it forces the House to use every procedural tool available to compel action. They say it's not escalation for its own sake, it's leadership in the face of prolonged inaction. And then they get on to say that basically they've heard John Thune pay a lot of lip service to the Save act, but they think that that lip service is not enough. Right. You and I are sick of the talking. We want the acting. We want people to start acting on this. And here's what the members of Congress say. Recent statements suggesting that the Senate may finally consider the Save America act are a step in the right direction. But words are no longer sufficient. The Senate must deliver results. The Save America act should be brought to the floor, debated openly, and passed without delay or dilution. Any attempt to weaken, repackage, or indefinitely postpone this legislation will be viewed for what it is, a continuation of a broken status quo that voters overwhelmingly reject. If the only barrier to passage is a willingness to engage in real, visible debate, then the standing filibuster provides the appropriate path forward. The path is simple. Bring the Save act to the floor, Require real debate. Pass it, send it to the President's desk. The American people are watching. Now, if you're interested in who's on your side here, we've got a. We've got a bunch. And by the way, there should be more signatories to this or not enough. We've got 13 signatories on this. Anna Paulina Luna, Mike Collins, Michael Cloud. Congressman Stubby is in there. Ryan Zinke, Russell Fry, Lauren Boebert is on the list. And then we've got Jeff Van Drew. Wasn't he a Democrat at one point? Then he became a Republican. John James, Randy Fine, John Maguire, John Rose, and Keith Self. Those are the guys, all the guys who are standing up for us today and telling and telling John Thune, hey, you've got to act. It's, you know, gum flapping time is over. You know, get to it, son. Get to it. The American people are watching. And we sure are. We sure are. Please keep up the pressure. Please keep calling your member of Congress, keep calling your senator and let them know what you want. Right now, the. The big. Obviously, the big debate is getting the Senate to do this, but there's another iteration of the legislation currently being considered in the House. Remember, we have the Save act. It's been passed a bunch of times by the House, never by the Senate. And now the Save America act is being generated and they're drafting the bill. The reason it's a little bit different is because they're adding the photo ID requirement. But the pressure is on from the White House to also restrict mail in voting, I.e. absentee ballots, to only people who actually need them. No more. Everybody gets an absentee ballot only if you have a legitimate excuse for not showing up to the polls is the position that President Trump is taking. And so there is right now, reportedly, and the White House apparently has confirmed this conversation going on with Congress to add this to the legislation. Here's what NBC reported overnight. The White House is keeping pressure on House Republicans. And ahead of a crucial vote on mail in voting, the Trump administration. This is NBC's version, so I'll have to translate it. The Trump administration continues to press congressional Republicans to add a provision to their voter requirements bill that would either ban mail in voting with limited exceptions or limit the way voting by mail can be used. Yeah, that makes sense. These absentee ballots for only when you have a legitimate absence from the polls. A senior administration official telling NBC, quote, we have had productive conversations with House Republicans as recently as last night, and we are optimistic about the inclusion of the President's wish to ban the use of mail in ballots with limited exceptions. You know, this goes a very long way towards achieving what Jimmy Carter said in the early 2000s about our elections. Remember, as you, as you talk about this with your family and your friends and why this is so important, there was a commission, a bipartisan commission done in the early 2000s called the Carter Baker Commission, a Democrat and a Republican. The Democrat in this case is Jimmy Carter, the former president, now the late president, late former president, rather, of the United States. And Carter at the time in this study, concluded that in order for us to have safe elections, you need to show photo id, you need to limit absentee ballots as much as possible. And these things would make the elections more credible. So limiting absentee ballots at one point was a Democrat priority. Many years ago, they, they, they operated when there was some concern at all about the credibility of our elections, that, you know, we need to limit the number of mail in and absentee ballots because those, that particular vector for fraud is immense. Absentee ballots are a hotbed of fraud opportunities. And in fact, like, just to give you an example of how this works, you know, in California, they have legal ballot harvesting, legalized ballot harvesting. You understand what that Is ballot harvesting is when a third party political operative takes a ballot out of your hands and then claims they're going to deliver it on your behalf. And the left specializes in this. They've done it both illegally and legally in the states that allow it. And it's insane that that even happens. What they do is, for instance, they will send their operatives to a nursing home, to an old folks home. They'll get everybody inside the old folks home to fill out ballots, oftentimes the way that they tell them to fill them out. Go ahead, grandma, just fill out the ballot like this. And then they take the ballot from them and then they hand deliver all the votes for Democrats that they possibly need to. Now, what about votes for Republicans? What if they believe they're holding a ballot that is a vote for a Republican? Well, what's to stop them from dumping it in a trash can and not actually bringing it to its final destination? Obviously, if you've got somebody who has built in political motivations to the way that they handle ballots, that increases the likeliness that this will be a rigged affair and not in any way a credible one. So ballot harvesting is an insane thing. And in fact, if you want to do something at the federal level, ban ballot harvesting nationwide. There is no excuse for that kind of handling of America's election ballots. Like, add that to the Save America Act, a ban on ballot harvesting so that California can't get away with this garbage or any other Democrat run state that claims they've legalized it. So the basically that's a form of absentee voting though, where you're not actually going to the polls, you're handing your ballot to a third party political operative and then they're supposedly delivering it and you actually don't know if that's the case as a crapshoot. So in other words, that is again, a massive vector for fraud. So let's not do that. This is why President Trump wants to ban the use of absentee ballots with limited exceptions. That in a way kind of does ban ballot harvesting. Like, no, you have to have a legitimate reason for being absentee now. But I do think that the legislation should go a step further. Ban ballot harvesting craziness. But this is a productive development. So here you have. The White House is having conversations with House Republicans. Now, I, I want to know why is it hard for House Republicans to add this? Why is it even a debate right now with the White House? Why, why is there any arm twisting going on at all on this? The White House says that they're having productive conversations with House Republicans as recently as last night. We're optimistic about the inclusion of the President's wish. They're optimistic about it. To ban the use of mail in ballots with limited exceptions. NBC goes on to say that the Save America act is expected to pass in the House this week or expected to get a vote. It would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and presentation of an ID to cast a ballot. Currently, no provisions in the bill would limit mail in voting. Speaker Johnson confirmed to NBC, Republicans are, quote, thinking and talking. They're thinking and talking. Oh, they're thinking and talking, everybody. What a change about whether to restrict mail in ballots. But said no final decisions have been made. He also seemed to question some of Congress's authority in the space. I mean, I'm sorry, Speaker Johnson. Look at the Constitution, sir. Look at the Constitution. He's, he's. Look. Speaker Johnson's a lawyer. He spent a lot of time in courtrooms defending religious liberty, standing up for the First Amendment to the Constitution. He's familiar with the document. He may want to brush up on it, though. Congress has a role here. Clean up our elections, Mr. Speaker. And he might say, but, Vince, I got the SAVE act through. Isn't that enough? No, no. I want it all. I want these elections to be credible. And the President has made it really clear over and over on Truth Social, especially that he wants to make it so that these absentee ballots don't continue to be a massive source of fraud in the United States. Here's your chance. Fix it. No more thinking and talking. And we're not sure if we've got the power. What do Democrats do when they, when they take power? What do Democrats do? What's happening in Virginia right now? Democrats just took over the governor's mansion. They took over the state House, the state Senate. They've got a trifecta. They've got everything going on right now for them, and instantly they've moved on. The people of Virginia, they're violating the Constitution of the state of Virginia. They don't care. They're going after everybody's guns. They're raising everybody's taxes. They're allowing illegals to run roughshod over the whole state. They, they do that in a second. And they don't have any consideration whatsoever for the founding documents of the state in which they occupy. Meanwhile, it's like pulling teeth to get Republicans to read the United States Constitution and do the constitutional and legal thing just to stand up for us and sanctify our elections. Just do it. This is not complicated. It's very simple, you know, be hard. It'd be hard to. To blame us. It'd be hard to blame us if we started to conclude or if we long ago concluded that you're just bought and paid for if you can't fight for the most obvious things for us. They're having conversations right now about whether or not absentee ballots should be limited to legitimate reasons. So what does Speaker Johnson say? The answer is wait and see. He says the answer is wait and see. As always, it's wait and see. There's a lot of discussion about it. I don't know what the possibility is to act in that regard concerning federal elections, but we'll have to see. Get to it, son. You know the Constitution and you know you can do this, so do it. A House Republican familiar with the internal discussion said it's ultimately a leadership call whether to attach any mail in ballot provisions to the legislation. A leadership call. So here we go. So you see this? So Speaker Johnson says, we're having lots of discussions. And then another House Republican, a different member, says, well, it's actually up to leadership. There's a lot of, oh, look at this, everyone's passing the buck. It's somebody else's responsibility to deal with this. But an idea being kicked around is to mandate that mail in ballots can be sent only if they're. If they are requested instead of sent to voters automatically. A provision that falls well short of Trump's demands to prohibit mail in ballots altogether. So in this particular case, they're saying, look, we want to add something, but not what the President wants. Why is that? What are you even doing? Explain yourself. The SAVE act as written, includes provisions that could pass with only Republican votes in the House. Adding limitations to voting by mail could risk votes. What? Among Republicans, the current bill, I guess, is the lowest common denominator. A person familiar with the House's process told NBC News. In other words, they could risk. Why would the Republicans risk losing votes? To make sure that absentee ballots are only for legitimate voters. The hell is that? Somebody explain that to me. Any member of House Republicans listening right now? Could you get in touch with me? Explain to me what the hell that means. Are there House Republicans who are in their seats by mail in voting fraud right now? Is that what that is? Explain yourselves. The White House also has been putting pressure on the Senate. Good. Pushing leadership to get around the 60 vote threshold required to pass most legislation to get around it there. I love how NBC doesn't bother explaining to you that the pressure is to get Republicans to live up to the rule of the rules of the Senate, actually take the floor, get Democrats to filibuster this thing and get it across the finish line. John Thune has been non committal. NBC correctly reports he's been non committal. He's been talking, not doing. The bill already faces an uphill climb in the Senate. Adding mail in ballot restrictions would further alienate Republicans who could come around to support the SAVE Act. Have you noticed that like in this entire article, not a single person is cited as being the Republican opposition to this? There's no names. It's just sort of randomly gesticulating to anonymous Republican lawmakers who would be uncomfortable with restricting mail in ballots. Who are they talking about? Is it Thumbelina? Is it, is it Thom Tillis? Is that the guy? Is it Murkowski? Is it Susan Collins? Is any of the usual suspects? Is it Mitch McConnell? Mitch McConnell who can't leave the Senate soon enough? Can we get Nate Morrison there, please? What is going on? So in case you're wondering what's going on with the, with the SAVE act right now, according to at least this report, and again, it's, it's NBC, so take it with a massive grain of salt. But they claim that there are Republicans. And I believe this. I'm not shocked at all by this particular recitation of the available facts. They say that there are Republicans who are hesitating on restricting absentee ballots to people with legitimate reasons to be absentee. Oh, serenity now, serenity. Pray for your country and keep calling your lawmakers. Let them know exactly what you want. You want election integrity. And the president's made it really clear. He's, he's posted multiple times to Truth Social. There's just three elements that he really wants in this SAVE Act. Americans only when you register to vote, ID when you vote. And what? And then, of course, yeah, absentee ballots only for legitimate absentee voters like members of the military. This is not complicated. Just make it what it used to be, a legitimate and believable election. All right. More ahead on this edition of Vince, including the pawing around in the dark for a reason why the SAVE act shouldn't pass by the Democrats. They're coming up with the most insane possible excuses right now and you can watch them actually craft their lies in real time. It's hilarious. It's, it's ahead on this edition. Events, you know, trying to figure out what's going to happen in the future is, is always a fun thing. In politics you can do that with an interesting website. This is called Kalshee. Have you ever looked at Kalshee? It's kind of interesting what's going on here. So basically they have all sorts of predictive features, including some things that have already been pick like who will Trump nominate as the Fed chair? Kevin Warsh. Obviously people were trying to guess on that particular thing. Next US Presidential election winner. That's one that I always like checking in on. What's the deal there? J.D. vance, the most likely right now at 25%. Gavin Newsom at 21% and Marco Rubio is at 8%. You can see here he's down by two points from a recent assessment. Those numbers change all the time. And this is basically where people are placing real money in order to make these predictions because they expect that they're going to come true. Kind of, kind of neat to watch you get the pulse on, on what's going on in the world. Cow. She's one of the only places where you can actually trade on real world events in 50 states. All 50 states. It's not just politics, economics. They've got markets on everything from inflation numbers to sports, pop culture. I like checking cow just to track the odds, see what people are actually putting their own money on. Like getting a pulse on what the world thinks is going to happen. So go to calm/vince and you can get a free $10 credit when you trade $100. That's cow sheet.com/vince. Once again kalsheet.com/vince. You must be 21 and the purchaser must be present in the state where the trade is placed. See important details@cal state.com Cowshee is subject to US regulatory oversight by the CFTC. Okay thanks Cal. Great sponsor of our program to really appreciate that. Okay, let's, let's take a look at how Democrats are trying to lie about the SAVE Act. Now here's an example of it. The, the, the one of the most hilarious Democrats for, for her lies is Elizabeth Warren who of course lied about being Indian. She's according to her DNA test, In fact, exactly one 121 in 120. What is it? 1024th. Yeah, one 1024th. I knew I could say that. Native American, obviously. And given her love for abortion and human sacrifice, clearly she's Aztec. Here's Elizabeth Warren and she was just confronted by the great reporters over at Lindell TV who asked her a really simple question. Why do you oppose the SAVE Act? Americans need ID for everything. So why do you oppose ID for voting? Here's Elizabeth Warren.
C
The SAVE act is expected to be brought this week to the floor for a vote. Do you support voter ID for elections? It depends on what you mean by voter id. When you want to say that everyone has to produce a birth certificate, including women whose married names are not on their birth certificates. That creates a real problem for me. Well, isn't that just one of the first steps in getting married and getting a new id? Actually, it's not getting a new birth certificate because part of what the SAFE act does is it says most driver's license around the country won't work as an id, and that creates a terrible problem. But you need an ID to do just about anything in America. Shouldn't you need one to get a birth certificate? I hope you know that.
D
Thank you.
A
You don't need a birth certificate. I hope you know that. All right. Thanks, Mickey Mouse. You know, Warren, of course, is lying, and you can hear her craft the lies in real time because the reporter asked her really simply, like what? Like married women. Married women, they. When you get married, you go through the process, if you're going to change your name, of doing that with the government. So of course there's documentary evidence that you're both an American citizen and that you changed your name. This is not an impediment for married women. They've all been through it. They know what they're talking about. They've got the documents to prove it. And let me tell you why this is so freaking phony on her part. There's a number of, a number of explanations for this. Who do married women vote for? Chat. Who do married women in the United States of America vote for? Democrats or Republicans? Let me know. Who do they vote for? Hmm. Jeopardy. Theme. Hmm. Married women. The chat. The chat's getting it. Oh, here we go. RR Republicans. Conservatives. Married women vote Republicans. As Zoid Borg. Yeah, they vote for Republicans. So the idea that Elizabeth Warren is all of a sudden very concerned about the plight of married women being able to vote. She. I mean, if she thought that she could block married women from voting, she'd do it in a heartbeat. It's so stupid. She's just like, well, I hate for married women to be disenfranchised. If married women couldn't vote, that would make Democrats permanently in charge of everything. She's so full of shit. It's so crazy. And, and, and it's so true. I mean, that really is the phenomenon. By the way, single women vote Democrat, majority of them. And and married women vote Republican, the majority of them. That has and will continue to be the case because it's pretty obvious, married women especially who have children are, are often an obvious thinking about what does the future look like for my country? Am I leaving to my family and my kids and my grandkids? And as a result of that kind of thinking, you think maybe we shouldn't waste the precious gift that we have that we call the United States of America. And that's why they vote Republican over Democrat. Now, the text of the SAVE act in terms of this, this lie, it's not going to be the first time you hear this. It won't be the last time you hear it. The left is going to keep pushing this thing. Let me show you the text of the SAVE act here because she makes a claim, Elizabeth Warren, that the only kind of identification you could possibly use is a birth certificate. That's not true at all. Here it is. They want to ensure only citizens are registered to vote in elections for federal office. And then there's a. This is section two of the bill. And here's the definition of documentary proof of United States citizenship. You ready? Here are the options. As used in this act. The documentary proof of US citizenship means any of the following. 1. A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID act that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States. So this means not even those phony baloney illegal alien real IDs that are being handed out to truck drivers. Illegal alien truck drivers in the United States by Democrat States, though those won't satisfy the requirement. It has to demonstrate that you are a citizen of the United States. That's one option to a valid United States passport. 3. A military identification card for a valid government issued photo identification card issued by a federal, state or tribal government showing that your place of birth was in the United States. But, but Vince, not every state shows that. Okay, start showing it. Show it on your state IDs whether or not you are a US citizen. 5. A valid government issued photo ID issued by a federal, state or tribal government other than an identification described in the first four paragraphs, but only if presented with additional information. A certified birth certificate. An extract from a US Hospital record of birth created at the time of the applicant's birth, which indicates that they were born in the United States, by the way. Yes, birthright citizenship should pop up in your mind right now, which is like, well, wait a second. Some people are just like illegal aliens, have babies and then the babies become citizens. That's Crazy. Yes, that is crazy. And that's currently being litigated in our court system. And may the Trump administration win on this fight. But right now, that that is a feature of the United States, which is that people who are being born here are being made American citizens right now due to that warped interpretation of the Constitution. So the legislation just addresses that for now. See a final adoption decree showing the applicant's name in the applicant's place of birth was in the United States, D a consular report of birth abroad of a citizen of the United States. And then a naturalization certificate, a certificate of citizenship, an American Indian card issued by dhs. So you see what I'm telling you. Look at this, all of these things. There's a million different options to demonstrate that you are a U.S. citizen. And they're not merely that you have to produce a birth certificate. And no, married women are not going to be obstructed. It's just Elizabeth Warren doing what she does best, which is lying to you. And you can hear her craft the lie in real time, as the reporter straight up asked her, but wait a second, can't you just show an ID in every other facet of life, but you can't show a birth certificate, says Elizabeth Warren. Nobody's demanding that you do that all the time. You just have to do it once to register to vote. That's it. Or you have to show any of those other five bajillion documents that prove the same thing. Elizabeth Warren, she's lying again. She's lying again. There she goes. Pocahontas herself lying. All right. Coming up on the program, we've got some more to get to, including Democrats going crazy. You see that Texas Democrat, that member of Congress who is fantasizing about some sort of race war in the United States? It's a psychotic clip going around, and I'm going to dive into it and unpack what's really going on here. And additionally, speaking of Democrat psychos, Jasmine Crockett is as crazy as ever and she says you're morally depraved if you don't support her. What?

I've got a hip hernia that I've got to get taken care of. And it should be, bro. It's like an hour, I think, for the procedure. Surgeon is like super nice and competent, and she actually did a surgery, the same similar surgery, I think, on a buddy of mine. So she came very highly recommended. So I'll be in very good hands. I think it's going to be a very quick thing, which is great. And then I'll be back up and running in no time. I said, I think I, I said on one of the shows, I said, and my wife wants me to take the day off. She's. She on Thursday just to recover. She's like, well, you should like, take a day, like pause and then come back on Friday. And I said, okay, I'll do that. But when I said that my wife wanted me to do it, somebody suggested somewhere in the, in the chat, they're like, oh, so. So you're getting a vasectomy? No, I'm not getting a vasectomy, but thank you for your concern. Thank you for your attention to this matter. No, it's going to be totally fine, but I got to knock that out. So what does that imply that for the shows, which is the most important thing as far as you're concerned, Wednesday producer Jim will do the radio show for me. And then Thursday morning, the amazing Sean Farish is filling in for me on the podcast. And Thursday afternoon on the radio show, you've got Jim. And then I'll be back Friday. I'll be ship shape back on Friday doing great stuff. The only thing I'm worried about, fellas, is I'm not gonna be able to. I won't be able to consume any calories tomorrow morning ahead of the surgery. They said only clear liquids and all this other stuff. Which is fine. I said, I did ask. I was like, can I have coffee? And I drink my coffee black. Is that okay? And they're like, yeah, yeah, that's fine. You can drink black coffee. So I'll be caffeinated tomorrow. The thing I'm worried about is will I have a calorie deficiency such that I'm incapable of even, like, talking to you? We'll see. We'll all experience that together. It'll be a lot of fun. But I'll be on the podcast tomorrow morning. That's the update. And thank you. You guys are the best. People are saying they're going to say some prayers and. No, I don't think. Well, I don't know. Somebody preacher retired, asks and thank you for being a preacher. So, Vince, you're not going to need a package of frozen peas, two crying emojis? I don't know, maybe I will, but just not. I won't have to sit on it. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. Come back Monday. No, but, you know, bus. I, I, I hadn't even really thought about it. Honestly, I didn't want to take Thursday off. I was like, well, whatever. I mean, they told me it's gonna be fine, so I should be able to work Thursday. But Allison insisted, which is probably good because I'll be, I'll be. They do have to knock me out for the procedure tomorrow, so as a result, I won't be able to stare at the news and develop smart thoughts for you on Thursday. And so it's probably, it's probably better for all of us on Thursday. But that's just, that's the update, just to let you know. Thank you. You guys really are the best chat anywhere. You're the best. All right. Clear liquid does include vodka, I think. That's right. I think I'm going to skip the vodka, but thank you. That's a, That's a great recommendation. Okay, let's get into some of the craziness that the left is producing this week. We've got a. Well, this clip is going around. It's actually not from this week. This is from December of 2024. But it's finally getting some attention. A Texas Democrat who was born in communist China. Yes, you heard me correctly. An elected Texas Democrat by the name of Jean Wu, who was born in communist China, was on a podcast in December of 24 fantasizing about various racial groups banding together to take over this country from white oppressors. Yes, I know. It's Crazy. Let me play the clip and then I'll explain to you what's actually going on in it. As if it needs any more explanation. But here's demented Democrat China born congressman Jean Wu saying that the non whites in this country need to band together to take on their oppressor. Watch.
E
I always tell people the day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they are, that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning. Because we are the majority in this country now. We are, we, we have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. But the problem is our communities are divided. They're completely divided. And I talk about this.
A
So he straight up says that you have to get all of the non white racial groups in the country to join together to go after the quote, same oppressor. Now what could he possibly be talking about if, if not white, what is he referencing? What do you mean the same oppressor? Let's say for a moment that he's not talking about people based on their skin color. That's not talking at least white people in this case. Well then why wouldn't he lump in white people into his list of races? That we all share the same oppressor. That it's like something, it's like the system of governance, that the powers that be, the rich people, whatever it is that he wants to say, it's pretty obvious what he's talking about. Now there's a lot of excuse making going on online right now saying well he didn't say white. Well he, that's the most heavily implied reference to white you could possibly imagine. And if that's not good enough for you, that's fine, that's fine. Here, let me, let me take this a step further. I've got, I've actually got the actual original video pulled up here and I'm gonna go through, Let me just pull this. I didn't even tell the guys I was gonna do this, but I wanna make sure to do it for you. I've got the transcript pulled up and I'm gonna sort through it. In it he refers to white nationalism. And so in other words, he attacks the white people. He says it's white nationalism that's causing your concern with illegal immigration in the country right now. Take a look at this. Here he is. This is the original interview is called Define American. He's doing an interview, by the way, the guy who's interviewing him is an illegal alien. His name is Jose Antonio Vargas. At one point, he worked for the Washington Post. He's an illegal alien interviewing this congressman. And here's the congressman saying, yeah, the only reason you're concerned right now about illegals in the country is because you're a white nationalist. Watch.
E
The scary thing for me is that what is driving this newest round of anti immigrant sentiment is, is purely a sense of white nationalism. That there is a sense of America really just belongs to white people. That this was that a lot of people believe that God gave America to white people to rule.
A
Okay, that is insane. It is. This is. This is attempting to stoke the flames of racial tension in the United States. And let there be no doubt about what that original, now viral clip is saying. He's saying that, well, racial groups need to band together to go after their oppressor, which is quite obviously white people. And he's saying that the only reason that illegal aliens are a concern to anybody right now is, quote, white nationalism. Now, remember the time in which he's saying this. This is December of 2024. In other words, you just made the election too big, too rigged. Donald Trump was sent back into office on a wave of concern about our borders being wide open. And it's not just white people who sent President Trump back into office. Every racial category in the United States, insofar as anybody's trying to track racial categories, they all moved in Donald Trump's direction. And that includes black Americans, definitely Hispanic Americans who voted for President Trump in somewhere in the vicinity of 50% or more of Hispanic Americans in the country voting for him. And like I said, black Americans moving in his direction. You ask them why in the exit polls, they say it's our borders are wide open. Our borders are wide open and we need to restore order. That I liked my life economically under President Trump. It got crappier under Joe Biden. And I want President Trump back because I want our borders secure and I want illegal aliens deported. A majority of Americans in 2024. The reason they vote for Trump, A majority of Americans say they want mass deportations. So this guy is lying, lying. And I know you know that, but I'm giving you the details as to why he's lying and how that lying is being crafted. He's lying to you, and he's trying to stoke racial chaos in the United States. That is a demonic move. And so Jean Wu, yes, he's coming under fire right now is what the. Is what everybody's saying for this resurfaced clip. Not only does he deserve to Come under fire. He does deserve to be kicked out of Congress, denaturalized, and thrown the hell out of the country. This guy is an agent of chaos born in communist China. Here he is sitting in the House of Representatives and telling the rest of us that we should be at some sort of racial strife against one another. How despicable can you possibly be? Well, the answer is within the audio and the video that you just heard and saw. And he's not alone. These Democrats are so casually adhering to these. These racial themes. In fact, it kind of washes over you, doesn't it? It's. It's not shocking, but it is appalling that we've become numb to the fact that they're constantly trying to wield claims and false claims, specifically about racism. Meanwhile, they're the ones who are absolutely racially obsessed in every aspect of American life. It's all power thing to them. It's not about principle at all. So, for instance, here is Jasmine Crockett, who just did. They had another podcast, because apparently that's all she does. She has podcasts. And she whines and she whines that the reason people don't like her is because she's black and she's a woman. In other words, you're a racist and a sexist bigot because Jasmine Crockett is disliked. Watch.
D
You know, there are those that have their own motivations for critiquing. And, you know, I think that the people.
F
Is it just racism and sexism? Like, what do you think it is?
D
I. I mean, I think there's a lot of things. I think it depends on who it's coming from. But I've been a black woman my whole life, so this idea that I'm a go and be like, oh, well, they're being racist or misogynistic towards me. Like, you think I didn't know I was a black woman when I woke up and decided that I was going to run for the United States Senate? You think I didn't factor in? And sure. That we had enough room to account for that.
A
We did. Yeah. I. I knew that there were going to be a lot of people who are racist and sexist against me. I had to account for that when I decided to throw my wig into the ring to run for Senate in Texas. Got it. It's like, what are you even talking about? I mean, just like, it's craziness. It's just totally crazy. It couldn't possibly. It's got to be because you're racist and Sexist. It couldn't possibly be because of things like Jasmine Crockett accusing Lee Zeldin of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein when she knew it was a completely different person with the same name. It couldn't be that. Jasmine Crockett recently said that just because somebody commits a crime doesn't mean they're actually a criminal, despite the fact that that's the definition of what a criminal is, someone who commits a crime. It couldn't be because she's been comparing ICE agents to slave patrols, demonizing the good men and women of law enforcement, or actually getting secure of our country's borders and ejecting illegal aliens who are, in many cases, very violent and shouldn't be here. It couldn't be because she said Trump supporters are mentally ill on multiple occasions, alleging and dehumanizing, you know, half the country or more, saying that, you know, you're. Something's wrong with you mentally for wanting secure borders and a good, strong economy. It couldn't be because she voted against a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk and then was upset that, in her words, only two Caucasians were among the Democrats who joined her. No, she's not the racist idiot you are. In her telling, that's Jasmine Frickin Crockett, and she's a member of the House, and she wants to become a United States senator. She really wants to. Texas, you better stop her. I think Texas will, but come. Come in for, you know, help us. Texas, you're our only hope. Hey, Jasmine Crockett continues here. She says that, you know that lie I told you about Lee Zeldin, where she's like, oh, Lee Zeldin took money from Jeffrey Epstein. It was a completely different person. Even the interviewer that she's sitting down with says, don't you think that was a little far? Don't you think maybe you should admit you screwed that one up? Here's Jasmine Crockett saying, no, actually, I have an obligation to lie to the American people. Here she is. Cut five, Watch.
F
No. When I see the moment on the House where you seem to accuse Republican Lee Zeldin of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, but it seemed like if it was not the same person, I wonder, like, is there times in which the rhetoric goes too far? There are times in which you should say, you know, maybe I messed that one up.
D
No, not in this environment. I don't. I think that, you know, we are really in unchartered territory.
F
So I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency necessary. And so that's why Liar. Won't give an inch.
D
Correct.
A
I love. I love how he accepts that insane and totally depraved answer as like, oh, I get it. Okay, so you're reflecting the urgency of the moment by lying. No, at this moment requires. We're in uncharted territory. I've just got to do a lot of lying to navigate my way out of it. Are people listening to this? Do people listen to this and think, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense? Doesn't make any sense. No, it means you shouldn't be a member of Congress. This is insane to me. In fact, you should be kicked out of Congress. You want to do something good for us today, Speaker Johnson, advance a vote to kick her out of Congress for endorsing lying as a strategy for being in that position. Yeah, this moment calls for a lot of lying. What? Just. Okay, so she didn't screw it up. She knew she was lying. She just admitted it on a podcast, and now she's saying that's actually a strategy she's using for power. Okay, get her the hell out of Congress, please. It's crazy. Oh, and by the way, she's a genius. Do you know this? She is. Well, she's intellectually superior to you and to me. She's. She is God's gift to thinking. Here is Jasmine Crockett explaining this.
D
I've always been someone who has been intellectual. I was top 10% of my class at Texas Southern my first year in law school. I was always very much kind of digging in and wanted to understand. I was always the person that would bring the receipts and wouldn't back down. So, you know, you always clapping back. I was. I was always. I was always. Yeah, there was always a pushback. If I feel like I am right on something. I have always been very clear about that.
A
She's an intellectual. She's always been so far advanced. Well, well beyond the rest of us slow witted people. She's. She's not doll like us. No, she's just very impressive. How much would you pay to see a real IQ test administered to Jasmine Crockett? She's a genius. Oh, it's so crazy. All right, enough. Enough. Crockett, I've tortured you enough. But she's. She's. She is crazy. She is crazy. Hey, I've got an update for you. You know the. The. The search for Nancy Guthrie, which has dominated the news this past week? It continues. And you know what's frustrating about it? There's something deeply frustrating about it. There's no answers. Nobody Knows what happened. The FBI has been very involved, Although I have seen reports now that apparently local authorities held off for a while before they requested help from the feds. What was that about? Why are you wasting time? Why don't you just request help from the world's premier law enforcement agency Right away from the FBI? But anyway, the FBI eventually gets in there, and at the president's direction, They've been working really hard to try and find nancy guthrie. And that brings us to the last 24 hours. A bunch of apparent deadlines have been passed from whoever claims to have her. And savannah guthrie released a, well, heartbreaking video where she's now calling on the public to help find her mother. She seems to be out of options. She's now asking for the whole public to be on the hunt for where her mother might be. Here's savannah guthrie Making a plea to the rest of us.
G
Hi there, everybody. I wanted to come on and just share a few thoughts as we enter into another week of this nightmare. I just want to say, first of all, thank you so much for all of the prayers and the love that we have felt, My sister and brother and I, and that our mom has felt, because we believe that somehow, some way, she is feeling these prayers and that God is lifting her. Even in this moment and in this darkest place, we believe our mom is still out there. We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock Trying to bring her home, Trying to find her. She was taken, and we don't know where, and we need your help. So I'm coming on just to ask you, not just for your prayers, but no matter where you are, Even if you're far from tucson, if you see anything, if you hear anything, if there's anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement. We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help.
A
It is heartbreaking. And she's doing what I think any child who loves their parents would do in this situation, which is exhausting. Every possible option to try and locate your mother to get. Get her back. So that's the update. And so, in other words, like it sounds at this moment, unfortunately, kind of helpless. Our friend dan bongino was on with sean hannity last night, and he was assessing some of this. And he. He detects three possibilities as to what actually happened here. And I'm glad to hear dan vocalize this. And I think, by the way, Dan really excels at this particular thing. Coming right out of the FBI. Former deputy director now with a Clear view of what their capabilities are. And he says that. Look, I'm staring at this case and I'm thinking, you know, there are some elements to this that suggest that this may not be what everybody else thinks it is. Right. Now watch Dan assess this.
B
So what's going on right now? I see three possibilities, Sean, and I'm not going to weight them. I'm just. These are three possibilities. If you apply Occam's razor.
A
I see.
B
Could apply. The first would be, obviously it's a kidnapping. That was an intended kidnapping for a ransom payment. That would be the first possibility. Again, I'm not weighting any of them. The second possibility would be this was just a crime that went awry. Someone was at the house, maybe it was a burglary, something went bad, and that you've got some bad actors committing another crime unrelated. In other words, requesting a ransom for something you didn't do just to take advantage of a situation like this.
A
Okay, let me pause on this particular scenario. Imagine how dynamic of a thinker you would have to be to be that kind of criminal. You know what Dan is suggesting here? The second scenario, which is that they went there, maybe they're trying to burglarize the house, and then in the process, they encounter Nancy Guthrie, and then maybe they kill her or something, and then they have to figure out what to do with the body and they take her. Now, we haven't heard evidence, by the way. You know, as far as I can tell that they found, you know, remnants of her DNA suggesting a struggle or murder or what. I. We're still waiting on so many details. It feels like. Like there's just not a lot of answers. But if that's the case, they took her. So they thought, okay, well, we accidentally killed her, take the body, and then we'll see if we can't turn this into a payday. Maybe we'll just, like, claim we've got the body and get a. I mean, you'd have to imagine being that creative. Couldn't you apply that kind of thinking to something much more productive than robbing people and then using their bodies in order to, like, solicit elicit random ransom payments. It's crazy, but it's a scenario. And Dan's just exploring all of the possibilities here.
B
The third possibility, again, this is. This is where I think you have to kind of think out.
A
I'm sorry, you said they found. They found her blood. Okay, so there is some evidence. Yeah. Ok, so the chat is reminding me they found her blood. So there is some evidence of her DNA at the scene. Okay. But again, we have very limited information but that would support the theory that Dan is expressing here. And here's more from Dan.
B
And this is where I think you have to kind of think outside of the BO is, especially given some of the messaging that we've seen lately is the possibility that there may have been some kind of maybe a medical emergency or something and maybe this was not a kidnapping. And I say that only because, and again, I'm not weighting these possibilities. We're just when, when you can't find someone at a crime scene like this right away, within the first couple of days, you either have really good surgical Tycho type operators or the story you, you've been told or you may have believed may not be the story.
A
I mean, may not be the story. In other words, like the, the prevailing narrative here that she's been taken by a kidnapper, is holding her for ransom. And you know, the, the way that she's going to be returned is if the ransom payment is made, which of course the Guthrie's by the way, have said, we'll pay, we're ready to pay. Just tell us what to do, we're going to do it. Frustrating story, especially for the Guthrie's. But just as for the rest of us as we're watching this, just, just frustrating that it seems like there really are no good leads right now. They were doing everything. They were, they were searching the septic tank at the house. They were doing everything and not a lot of new or important information here. Everybody hoping for a break. I do hope they get one. I hope we get one soon. But there's Dan. Nice to see Dan in that venue, just kind of talking about this really good stuff. Dan, by the way, you'll hear more from him coming up today on his live program. That's 10 o' clock Eastern, rumble.com bongino and then the wonderful Haley Karanilla is going to be doing her program at noon eastern@rumble.com Haley H A Y L E Y There's two Y's there. Why?
