Ed Martin (7:14)

And who are the three people they.

Vince (7:15)

Said were doing this for money?

Unnamed Source (7:16)

This is the one who's. Well, let me say it carefully. The gate, gatekeepers. Different characterization of who was using the access, but the gatekeepers were Klain and Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer. And those three were really dominant characters in the White House Ricketti a little bit, and obviously Jill.

Vince (7:34)

But.

Unnamed Source (7:34)

But I think that was the three. But I was with this. This person and I said, what about Susan Rice? What about some of these others? And they said, no, this was. These were the ones.

Vince (7:49)

These were the ones. So you heard him. He mentioned three names. Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, and Bob Bauer. I just want to dwell on these names for just a moment because these are very important names, and who they're connected to is absolutely critical. Chick soap. Chick soap. You're getting ahead of me. Chick soap. In the chat. Why is no one mentioning Obama who. Hold onto your hat. Hold on to your soap. Chicks up. I've got you. Ron Klain was Obama's Ebola czar. Ron Klain is an Obama loyalist who was working as one of the chief people, was running the country. According to Ed Martin's sources, Anita Dunn was Obama's communication director. And Anita Dunn's husband is Bob Bauer. Bob Bauer was Obama's White House counsel. You got that? Obama's Ebola czar, Obama's communications director, and Obama's White House counsel were running the White House. They were running the White House. So Ed Martin says these are the three. And he even asked. He's like, what about Susan Rice? Kmart asked this. What about Susan Rice? And Ed Martin has discovered from his sources, yeah, she was there, but she wasn't playing as big of a role. But it was Anita Dunn, Bob Bower, and Ron Klein, Ron Klain, excuse me, who were doing this? These are all Obama people. These are Obama loyalists who were running the White House. And this brings us back to Obama himself. Remember what Obama said on this subject? What would he do? What would he do? Is it possible for him to have a third term? If he was going to have a third term, how would he be able to do that? Well, take a look. Here's Obama saying it himself.

Barack Obama (9:38)

People would ask me, knowing what you know now, do you wish, like, you had a sec. A third term? And I used to say, you know what if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand in a front man or front woman and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony.

Vince (10:13)

Yeah, that's the arrangement he would go for. Well, look, if I had a vegetable, if I could just control from afar, that would be the way to do it. I don't like talking to people. I don't like hanging out at the White House. But if I could just do it from a distance, have my operatives run the whole show, then we'd be good. Well, that's what Obama did. Obama's people stocked up the whole White House. Look, it's not a mystery that Obama people were all over this White House when Biden came into office. I remember Lester Holt at one point had actually asked Biden about this, like, hey, what's the deal? There's a lot of Obama people coming in here. Is Obama kind of pulling the strings in the White House? And Biden laughed it off at the time, but guess what, guess what now with not only the benefit of foresight at the time, the benefit of present sight as we were going through it, and the benefit of hindsight now, yeah, Obama was running the whole damn show. Obama was running the show up to and including the decision to remove Joe Biden from office last year. Remember what was the big moment where the whole left turned on Joe Biden when they all did, obviously after that debate, they all started saying maybe he shouldn't be here. They were trying to get rid of him in order to ensure their long term power. But it was when George Clooney, one of Obama's boyfriends, shows up and then says, no, get rid of the guy. He writes this New York Times op ed. Time to get rid of the guy. Time for Joe to go, you know, George Clooney, Obama's, you know, he hangs out with him in Italy at the villa. These guys don't do things without Obama's blessing. George Clooney doesn't move unless Obama says, yeah, you do this. Let's take out Joe. Obama took out Joe Biden. So Obama was the shot caller for the Biden presidency and he was the shot caller to get rid of Biden in the end. Now, Obama didn't get everything he wanted. He wanted Kamala Harris to not be the nominee. He wanted an open primary for the Democrats and he was outmaneuvered by other Democrats in his party. But understanding the fact that Obama was running the show, and this is further proof of that, Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer, Ron Klain. Running the Biden presidency is a clear of sign as any that a lot of people are trampling all over the Constitution. Obama by taking a third term that he wasn't entitled to, and Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer and Ron Klain, if these allegations stand up, by acting as the president of the United States without him even being cognitively engaged. So I think this is a very meaningful update from Ed Martin, a very meaningful Update from Ed Martin on how that presidency was being conducted and the beginning, hopefully, of something really important, which is that we can invalidate a lot of these things, including these pardons, and say, no, that's not a legitimate pardon. If Joe Biden was non compos mentis, you can't agree to a contract. You're not allowed to agree to a contract if you don't have cognition. If someone else signs a document with your name on it and you're a vegetable, you're committing fraud. It's against the law to do that. So this is a very big deal. Now, of course, the media is engaged in a game of pretend right now. Like they just discovered that Joe Biden wasn't with it. Best, I think, symbolized by Whoopi Goldberg on the View. Listen to Whoopi. Whoopi is shocked. Nobody told her that Joe Biden was brain dead. How come nobody told me? Here she is. Cut to.

Whoopi Goldberg (13:45)

There has always been a mass trust issue because politicians, media, nobody does what they're supposed to do. Now, I say for me, listen, he's 83, so he's a little stumbly, he's a little rumbly. I can't point to anything that he's done as president that he did, and.

Vince (14:08)

Now he's running for his next four years.

Whoopi Goldberg (14:10)

But, but I'm saying I want. Not you, but I want somebody to tell me, well, when did you know it was bad? If you knew, why did you wait? So I heard that.

Vince (14:22)

Can I get into that? He said that it was after he moderated the debate. Can I get.

Whoopi Goldberg (14:25)

Yes, but that's not. I'm sorry, baby, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about if. If you're telling me that hundreds of people knew that he was not able to do his job, then where the hell was everybody did his job?

Vince (14:40)

We were all over the place. Where were you at? Where were you at? Apparently, she wasn't here. She wasn't listening to you. She wasn't in this chat. She wasn't talking to literally any other living American who had turned on their television. For all the time that these women spend on television, apparently they've never turned it on outside of the hours that they were on tv. They never looked at Joe Biden. And Biden kept showing up to that show, too, and they got to see him up close and personal. So Whoopi is either the biggest moron who's ever occupied a television set or, well, maybe it's just that maybe she's Just a moron. She's just. Nobody told me. These are terrible excuses. These are terrible excuses. What happened to Whoopi? Go back to Sister Act. You were at your best in Sister act, lady. All right, so there's Whoopi Goldberg. That's not even her real name, by the way. Whoopi Goldberg. What's her name? Isn't it Karen? Her first name's Karen. Her last name is Johnson or something. Anyway, Whoopi Goldberg. She's really special, isn't she? All right, so there's Whoopi. Meanwhile, you got Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper. They've got this book that's out now about Joe Biden and how the media. We had no idea. We had no idea. Well, one of the reasons why the media didn't cover this is because they were so compliant with the White House's spin that even the White House was shocked, even the White House was shocked by how easy it was to get the media to cover up Biden's brain damage. Alex Thompson just in an interview and said. And said the following. Here it is, cut 6. Alex Thompson talking about how even the Biden White House was embarrassed by how easy it was to get the media to play along. But when you were reporting this, did people in his inner circle, did those that you talked to acknowledge that the media, were they surprised by how complicit the media was?

Alex Thompson (16:35)

It was interesting. I had one conversation with someone. This was after the election while we were reporting this book, and this person said, listen, yes, we deserve blame for xyz. We were hiding him. We were. But this person also sort of got in my face and they said, listen, the media deserves some blame, too. Like, we were sort of amazed at some of the stuff we were able to spin and get on. In some ways, it's like the bank.

Vince (17:03)

Robber complaining that the safe wasn't locked or something.

Alex Thompson (17:05)

They're just like, you guys should not have believed us so easily. And I thought that was like a really interesting. But I also think that's true. I think the media, in a lot of ways just was not so skeptical enough and did not remember the lesson that they do it to different degrees, but every White House lies.

Vince (17:27)

He's too generous. It's not that they were lacking skepticism. They were willing accomplices. That's what this was. They wanted to hurt Trump and they wanted to help Biden. They were rooting in their heart for the power of the Democrats. That's what this was. It wasn't that they just had the wool pulled over Their eyes. The reason they were so compliant was because they were on the same team. What are the talking points today? Okay, we'll repeat those. And that's what they did. Even in the face of Joe Biden being on television and falling upstairs and downstairs and tripping on stage and heading off in odd directions, shaking hands with the air, saying hello to dead congresswoman. Where's Jackie? Where's Jackie? Said Joe Biden. Even in the face of all of that, the media dutifully piled on with the White House talking points. We had an entire media cycle about cheap fakes. That was a White House talking point. Karine Jean Pierre, history's dumbest press secretary, said it was a cheap fake to notice that Joe Biden wasn't of sound mind in that fundraiser alongside Obama and George Clooney, where Obama had to grab Biden by the back of the neck and guide him off stage. Right this way, Joe. Out this way. Let's get ready. We gotta get you off stage. And so after that happens, the White House says cheap fake, and then the media all dutifully repeat it, despite the fact that your eyes told you the truth. So spare us. On the whole. Well, they weren't skeptical enough. Skeptical enough. They were all in. They were all in. In their compliant teamwork with the Democrats. It's so crazy, the gaslighting that these guys are undertaking right now with you. So there you have. There you have. Even the White House is like, man, you guys are embarrassing. You guys are embarrassing. The fact that you'll buy anything we say. Um, and that's not the only. The only piece of this. The. The media tour continued for Alex Thompson and. And Jake Tapper. In a moment, I'll play some. Some great cuts of Jake Tapper just getting destroyed by Megyn Kelly this week. I don't know what they were thinking when they picked the Megyn Kelly interview, but it did not go well for them. But one more from Alex Thompson. This is Jake Tapper's coauthor. The Biden campaign apparently filmed a fake town hall with Joe Biden. Take a look at cut seven here. Alex Thompson describing a fake town hall that Joe Biden was in that they couldn't even use because Biden was that weak during his appearance. Take a look.

Whoopi Goldberg (20:03)

And Alex, the fact of the fake town hall is not actually the worst.

Vince (20:07)

Part of the story that you report in the book.

Alex Thompson (20:09)

Yes, other campaigns have used fake town halls. Now, I would say those town halls usually are.

Vince (20:15)

In addition to real town halls like Kamala.

Alex Thompson (20:17)

Joe Biden was doing neither this fake town hall was, in order to film it so they could make into campaign commercials. They filled it in, they filmed it in Delaware with supporters. But Joe Biden, at this point, this is the spring of 2024, Joe Biden's town hall, which was closed, the press was so bad that campaign officials determined that it was not usable for a campaign commercial. So they took 90 minutes, two hours out of the President's Day, they filmed an entire town hall and they determined that it was not usable.

Vince (20:47)

It's amazing. Is it amazing? They straight up wasted money to film this guy, including taxpayer money. Takes taxpayer money to move the President of the United States. He goes to Delaware, he does a blown town hall with a bunch of. With a rigged audience. With a rigged audience. It was just Biden's supporters, people that they brought in. They told them, you're gonna cheer here, you're gonna act like he's of sound mind. He couldn't even do that. They filmed it and they never used it. Just to remind you that while they said his presidency was the Biden presidency, Joe Biden wasn't President of the United States. The evidence for this is overwhelming. This is one of the most consequential coverups in American history. And I consider it one of the obligations of this program to uncover it. So we'll keep doing that and more in a moment as we get to Jake Tapper getting an absolute beatdown from Megyn Kelly this week. Great stuff and totally predictable. I'm glad it happened. But first I gotta thank our sponsors that make this show possible. Love them. There seems to be something happening with farmland here in the United States you should know about. It's not getting enough attention. Reports say that Chinese companies have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of US farmland. It's also said they're trying to take control over these critical supply chains, things like fertilizer and animal feed, farming equipment. Now, why is this? Well, it seems to be that they're tightening their grip on global food production. And if things go south, well, we all need to be ready.

Honestly, there are a million clips from this I could have chosen for you, but I'll just choose a couple of my favorites that jumped out. So just to understand, even before I launch this, what happens is Meghan knows the mission. Meghan knows the mission, which is she is going to hold a mirror up to Jake Tapper and say, really? You want to be the guy to tell us about Joe Biden's cognition now at this late date after his presidency? Because if we look back at your record, not exactly glowing, in fact, it's a disaster. You were a part of the COVID up. And she brings the receipts, which of course you might expect from Meghan. Now, meanwhile, it's the three of them all on camera. So it's Megan to the far left of the screen, Jake Tapper in the center, and then Alex Thompson is to the right of the screen. And Thompson just sits there like, I don't know, like he's being cuckolded or something. He's sitting there watching this play out in front of him and he has nothing to say because nobody's talking to him. Now, Alex Thompson is an Axios reporter and I've mentioned it before, during Biden's presidency, he had a couple of reports about how Joe Biden wasn't all with it and that they were changing things. Like he was going up the short stairs and the White House was covering up for all of his infirmities. Alex Thompson was doing that. But Alex Thompson decided to link up with Jake Tapper for this book, the two of them. And when they did, the reason, of course Thompson does this is because Jake has a television show. Jake's on cnn, so it's a business consideration. I can sell more books if I co write this book with Jake Tapper. Obvious to anybody who's watching from the outside. So these two guys link up. And I said, from the moment I saw that this book came out, I was like, this is a mistake for Thompson because Thompson is gonna have to own Tapper's sins. And here he is, he's on Megyn Kelly's show and the two of them have to sit together and Tapper is just getting his ass handed to him by Megyn Kelly. Take a look here. I've got Megyn Kelly cornering Jake Tapper. Here it is, cut 8 for covering up Biden's mind.

Ed Martin (25:12)

Joe Biden has been saying stupid things for decades.

Megyn Kelly (25:15)

Okay, I get what he's saying, but this minimizes it too because it was, no, I'm not minimizing it all stupid things. But I'm telling you, like over here in my ecosphere, we were covering all of these. It wasn't just falling down, it was getting lost. It was some of the stuff you report in your book was we knew and we were reporting on like the multi jump cuts in the videos of him or it was obvious he couldn't get through a one minute take so they had to use those. It was clear to us that he was using teleprompter and there was some reporting on that at the time. All of which the White House was denying. Now with the current White House, I have some connections with the Joe Biden White House. I had none. But you did. You did. And so while you've been in Washington 30 years, Jake, you guys, you and CNN have White House connections. But there was no effort, none to get to the bottom of this. And now you guys book like there was a cover up. It's like you, there was a cover up and there was an attempted cover up. It could only ever work if you allowed it.

Vince (26:19)

Yeah, all right, so she just reams him out and rightfully so. That's satisfying to watch to his face. And he's insisting, oh, that's not true. That's not true. Now in the midst of all of this, he's been claiming like, oh, I've got some humility. I wasn't tough enough on him. I took the edge off a little bit. I shouldn't have. And he's acting like, well, in one hand he tries to give credit to conservative media. He's like, well, conservative media got it right, they did it right. But the only reason they got it right is because they were watching it from the outside. And I got it wrong at first, but I only got it right later because I watched it. I found out on the inside. What, what is this? So the people who got it right first, they don't get credit for that because they only use their eyeballs. Call that prima facie evidence. It's visible on its face that Joe Biden wasn't with it. You didn't need deep reporting on this subject. The deep reporting on this subject is just so, you know, a bunch of Washington insiders could claim, you know, basically get their moment in the sun, like, oh, look what I saw. Well, how come you didn't tell us before? How dare you? Now you want to profit off of it? And so we got a couple revelations here. Tapper reveals. Remember that clip of him going around where he was treating Lara Trump like garbage? Cuz Lara Trump brought up that Joe Biden wasn't with that. He said he's got problems. And Tapper instantly came to his defense like a full blown Biden loyalist. And Tapper reveals now to Megyn Kelly that he privately apologized to Lara Trump. He privately now notice what he doesn't say. He never publicly came out and said, look, I should have never done that. I was wrong. This is the first time we're hearing this. He never went on his television show, he never told the audience that he did that in front of that he was wrong. He privately called her to keep it out of sight. Take a look here. Cut nine. Jake Tapper revealing his call to Lara Trump.

Megyn Kelly (28:12)

You covered the Biden presidency aggressively throughout the four years and you didn't cover mental acuity hardly at all. I mean, time and time again when issues came up, you seem to be running cover for the President.

Ed Martin (28:24)

I don't, I don't think.

Megyn Kelly (28:26)

Well, I mean, we'll start with the Lara Trump issue that you referred.

Ed Martin (28:29)

Here it is Joe Biden, as we all know, his work to overcome a stutter. How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?

Vince (28:38)

Oh, my God.

Megyn Kelly (28:39)

First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to.

Hailey Caranilla (28:51)

It makes me uncomfortable.

Ed Martin (28:53)

You are no stage. That's so amazing.

Hailey Caranilla (28:56)

You're trying to tell me that what.

Megyn Kelly (28:57)

I was suggesting was I think his stutter.

Ed Martin (29:01)

Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.

Megyn Kelly (29:07)

Do you want to apologize to Lara Trump now?

Ed Martin (29:11)

I've already apologized to her. I called her months ago.

Megyn Kelly (29:14)

And what did she say?

Ed Martin (29:17)

I mean, I don't want to disclose the contents of a private conversation, but I thought the conversation went well. And she said she has said this publicly, so I feel fine sharing it. She said that she would never mock anybody's stutter. But I mean, after we did the research for this book and I realized how bad his acuity issues were. I, like, I. I mean, I. I called Lara Trump and I. I said, you were. You were right.

Megyn Kelly (29:46)

She was totally right.

Vince (29:49)

Oh, my God, he is so full of shit. It's unbelievable. I'm sorry. It's unbelievable. He got up there and he said, oh, you're mocking him for his stutter. You heard Lara Trump in the original clip say, I didn't even know the guy had a stutter. All I'm telling. All I'm telling you is that it is clear that this guy's got cognitive problems. This guy's got cognitive problems. And to hear him sit up there and be like, I just. I'm being contrary. I just didn't notice. I thought she was mocking the stutter, but I was wrong. You know, it's such garbage. It is such completely complete garbage. He's trying to sell a book. He's trying to sell a book, and he's caught like a deer in the headlights as Megan just plays this clip for him. It is so crazy what's going on here. And you know, Jake Tapper, he's slippery. You know, this is the world he occupies. He's done this for years. He's done this for years where moment by moment, he shifts and pretends like, what? I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong at all. It was crystal clear to her. You know, I don't know if you know anybody with a stutter in your life, but I do. I know people who've had stutters their whole lives and to a T. They've all been insulted by the idea that Joe Biden's cognition problems had anything to do with a stutter. A stutter doesn't have anything to do with you screwing up facts or lying to people. Stutters don't make you lie. Stutters don't make you screw up the truth. That's Biden. That's Biden. That's a product of his entire career of deceit, which, by the way, was well established before his current cognition problems and a product of his inability to think straight in his latest years. That's the case. So it's amazing to watch these guys try and especially Jake Tapper try and salvage his career here and sell a book at the same time. All right, I gotta thank the sponsors of this program. They keep all this going. Thank you. To blackout coffee. Blackout coffee. Not only a great sponsor, just a really great cup of coffee.

This is one more remainder from the Jake Tapper conversation with Megyn Kelly. Jake Tapper is saying, the conservative media, that is the stuff you and I consume. They were right. We were right about Joe. And I'm so humbled now. I have to admit, the conservative media was right. Here's Jake Tapper for a fleeting moment trying to sell more books, cut 10. Saying the conservative press got this one all the way. Right.

Ed Martin (35:24)

I will acknowledge that after I was named after moderator, co moderator of the debate, I tried to make sure that my coverage was fairly vanilla, both about Trump and about Biden, because I just wanted to get to the debate. And, you know, the Biden people and the Trump people, I'm kind of frankly surprised that either one of them agreed to have me as a moderator because both sides disliked me so much. But, yeah, I remember that moment. And I remember that moment, the glitch at the immigration event, not getting much attention outside of conservative media at all. And Alex and I are here to say that conservative media was right and conservative media was correct and that there should be a lot of soul searching, not just among me, but among the legacy media to begin with. All of us.

Vince (36:25)

Okay, all right. The garbage that you're hearing served up the Biden people. They didn't like me. They really hated me. They thought I was awful. So I'm surprised that either side let me moderate the debate. Are you kidding me? Remember, Biden's team agreed to a single debate. One. And if you're gonna agree to one, remember at this point, everybody had excluded the presidential commission. Trump did not want the White House Presidential Debate Commission to be involved at all. He said, no, this thing's all rigged. We're not doing this anymore. But basically, Democrats had come up with this system. They're like, okay, we're gonna make an offer that Trump has to refuse. We're gonna say we're gonna do one debate. We're gonna do it on a network you hate. We're gonna do it on cnn. And it was built to basically say either Trump refuses or he accepts a rigged debate. That's what the Democrats had devised. And so Jake Tapper was the moderator for what Democrats had thought to be a rigged debate against Trump. The problem was Joe Biden performed like such utter crap on that debate stage. Then in the end, of course, it looked so great for Trump because he showed up, he was willing to take that fight. But the idea that Democrats were like or that the Biden people were against Jake Tapper as a moderator is just false on his face. That's precisely who they wanted moderating the debate. They believed he was the guy for them, that he would rescue Joe from his weaknesses. And of course, Joe self immolated on stage. That's what actually happened. So Tapper retconning history here. Oh, the Biden people really didn't want me to moderate. Oh, please, stop, stop. Okay, last one for you. And this one. This one really stands out to me. This is on a different show where cut 12, where Jake Tapper relays a very important detail about what was going on inside of the Biden presidency and how they thought they were going to beat Trump. Tapper says that Biden stayed in because he and the people around him were confident that they were going to successfully rig the election. Not Jake's words. Those are my words. But watch and you'll understand. Do you think this decision is made if Donald Trump isn't the opponent looming?

Ed Martin (38:40)

Do you think there was a convincing.

Vince (38:42)

Of he has to beat Donald Trump and therefore we have to position him this way?

Alex Thompson (38:46)

You know, they will say that the threat of Donald Trump made it so he didn't really have a choice. That being said, just given what we've seen of their actions and how they acted after the debate, I think he would have run anyway. I mean, I think he spent most.

Ed Martin (39:04)

Of 2023, him and Donilon, President Biden and Mike Donilon spent most of 2023 convinced that Donald Trump was going to jail. Convinced of it.

Vince (39:15)

He spent most of 2023 convinced that Donald Trump was going to go to jail. Remember the question. The question was about the rationale for why Biden stayed in the race. Was it about beating Trump? Biden and the people around him were convinced that. That Donald Trump would go to jail and that Joe Biden would win the presidency again by virtue of that. Let me be really specific. Biden and the people around him were convinced that they would rig the election. That was the plan. We're going to rig this thing. We're going to put him behind bars, we're going to stop him from even appearing on the ballot, and we will make sure Biden becomes President of the United States again. That's Jake Tapper saying that out loud. No. Now, I'd be surprised if Tapper ever revisits that on CNN or says that out loud in any other capacity. But there he is talking to NPR of all places, saying, yeah, they really thought they were gonna get him behind bars. And of course, that's what was going on at the Biden White House. The Biden White House communicating with Alvin Bragg. The Biden White House communicating with big fat Fanny Willis. The Biden White House communicating with Big Tish James. The Biden White House working with Jack Smith. All designed to prosecute arrest, charge, and of course, finally imprison the President of the United States, the former and then future President of the United States. That was the game plan. And it failed. It totally and completely failed. It also backfired, remember, throughout the entire legal process. When they finally got an arrest and then a booking photo in Georgia, that photo became more popular on the right because what they had successfully done is they had martyred Trump. They had turned him into. Because he was a victim of a tyrannical system. The left, do you remember this? Do you remember going back during the election, the left thought that the mugshot of Trump was going to be their deliverance. It would help them get Joe Biden back into office. If we get the mug shot out there, we're just gonna destroy this guy. That's all we need. Even before we put him in prison. Just get the mug shot out there and it will ruin him. Guess what happened. Oh, it saved him, baby. The mug shot, not only did it not ruin him, it made him stronger. It was only conservatives who were sharing the mug shot because we all knew exactly what this was. It was tyranny. It was tyranny. And Trump and everyone who's ever voted for him were the victims of that. So Tapper now revealing at this late date, yeah, they were trying to rig the election. That was the plan. And they failed. The other thing that they were trying to do is remember they tried to take Trump off the ballot in places like Colorado and Maine. You want to talk about rigging an election, take your political opponent off the ballot. You just straight up rigged the ballot. That's what they were trying to do. And President Trump won out. The legal fights that he undertook, he won out. But, man, he fought like hell. He fought like hell. He fought, fought, fought, including getting shot in the head last year, which is the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen. And stood up and maintained and won. Made it too big to rig. All right, so President Trump comes into office and I wanna move now to some other great things that are going on. President Trump comes into office and with him, he brings a great team. He's got a great cabinet around him, starting with the Vice President of the United States, J.D. vance. But he also has a great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Now, you remember Rubio from a little over a decade ago. Remember who? Little Marco. You remember how he was. There was a time where he was considered to be the most establishment of establishment Republicans willing to flip over for any sort of interest. He was Mr. Amnesty. He linked arms with Lindsey Graham and they did a whole gang of eight bill in the United States Senate that included a combination of Republicans, sellout Republicans and Democrats who were trying to pass amnesty in the United States for illegal aliens. Rubio was doing that. Mr. Hanke, the talking poo says Rubio most improved. Yeah, I totally agree. Somewhere we don't have the video yet. Somewhere there's a Marco Rubio training montage, you know, Rocky style montage of Rubio heading off to the woods for a time, chopping wood, carrying logs, building fires, and training day in and day out to get a lot closer to where the American voters are. Because Marco has definitely changed. He has been amazing. These days, he's gone from little Marco to. To mighty Amarco. Something has happened to him. And obviously I think President Trump has had a huge influence on the guy. Yesterday he goes before the United States Senate and in doing so, this guy really let some of these Senate Democrats have it. Let me start with kooky Tim Kaine. With kooky Tim Kaine. Here he is. Cut 11. Marco Rubio just beaten up on Tim Kaine for being a racist. Take a look.

Marco Rubio (44:31)

I'm going to ask you what. So a well justified fear of persecution.

Chris Van Hollen (44:34)

Yeah. They thought that their farms were being burned down and they were being killed. I think that's a pretty good justification for wanting to come. They're afraid for their lives and should.

Marco Rubio (44:40)

It be applied in an even handed way. That's an easy no.

Chris Van Hollen (44:43)

Our foreign policy. Our foreign policy doesn't require even handedness. It requires prioritizing.

Marco Rubio (44:47)

The statutes of the phrase says you are entitled to entrance as a refugee if you demonstrate a well justified fear of persecution.

Chris Van Hollen (44:56)

No, no, you're not entitled.

Marco Rubio (44:57)

Can you have a different standard based upon the color of somebody's skin? Would that be acceptable?

Chris Van Hollen (45:01)

Well, I'm not the one arguing that. Apparently you are, because you don't. The fact that they're white and that's.

Marco Rubio (45:04)

Why they're to say that that would be unacceptable.

Chris Van Hollen (45:06)

No, I would say that the United States.

Marco Rubio (45:07)

A very easy thing.

Chris Van Hollen (45:08)

The United States has a right to pick and choose who they allow into.

Marco Rubio (45:11)

The United States, even based on the color of somebody's skin.

Chris Van Hollen (45:13)

You're the one that's talking about the color of their skin, not me. These farms were burned down and they.

Marco Rubio (45:18)

Were killed in hand because of the.

Chris Van Hollen (45:19)

Color of their skin.

Vince (45:24)

Oh, isn't that great? I love everything about that clip. A lot of things. So Marco successfully and immediately flags like, wait a second. You're the only one obsessed with skin color. The reason you're against these South African refugees coming to the United States under threat of death, by the way, the only reason you're against them is because they're white. Tim Kaine, that's the why you're against them. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. And then he's like. And then he starts talking about skin color. That is, Tim Kaine starts talking about skin color. And Marco says, you're calling out skin color. You're the bigot here, judging refugees on the basis of skin color. That's not what we're doing. And the United States gets to decide who we call refugees and who we bring into the country. And guess who gets to do that? That's the President of the United States and the people who work for him. In other words, the voters get this decision and the voters have decided who we want in charge to make those decisions. That's Trump. That's Marco Rubio. You notice Rubio doesn't sweat anymore. Rubio was not sweating in that. There's no nerves in that presentation. You know, he's just calm, cool and collected. Just absolutely taking Tim Kaine to the woodshed. Also right behind Marco Rubio, you saw over his left shoulder was the great Tammy Bruce. I love Tammy. And now she's working in the State Department and she's doing great work over there. So, yeah, there she is in the background. She's Great. Tammy's great. So I'm wishing them all the success in the world. They're already doing great stuff there at the State Department. So a feisty top diplomat for the Trump administration. It wasn't just Tim Kaine that got a mighty serving of Marco. It was also Chris van Hollen. Cut 13. This is Rubio and Chris Van Hollen. Van Hollen, remember, just paid a conjugal Visit to an Ms. 13 gangster down in El Salvador. The two of them sat for romantic drinks. Marco Rubio made sure to rub that in his face.

Marco Rubio (47:17)

I have to tell you directly and personally that I regret voting for you for Secretary of State. I yield back.

Chris Van Hollen (47:24)

May I respond?

Marco Rubio (47:25)

You may.

Vince (47:25)

Sit.

Chris Van Hollen (47:26)

Well, first of all, your regret for voting for me confirms I'm doing a good job. Based on what?

Vince (47:30)

I know.

Marco Rubio (47:30)

That's just a flipping statement.

Chris Van Hollen (47:31)

Mr. Secretary, can I respond? Mr. Chairman?

Marco Rubio (47:33)

You may. I didn't ask. Senator, please let the secretary. I'd be happy to, but then I can respond to his. Your time's up, Senator. And willfully used, I might add. Your remarks do not represent the view of this committee. Well, Mr. Chairman. Secretary, please.

Chris Van Hollen (47:47)

Well, I'd like to. I can't respond to everything he said because much of these are untrue, but I'll go through a few. First of all, I'm actually very proud of the work we've done with USAID. For example, I don't regret cutting $10 million for male circumcisions in Mozambique. I don't know how that makes us stronger and more prosperous as a nation. I don't regret psychosocial support services.

Marco Rubio (48:06)

I raised Sudan. Mr. Secretary, can I respond to.

Ed Martin (48:08)

Senator.

Marco Rubio (48:09)

Senator, I'd ask you to suspend. You had seven straight minutes. I chose to use my time that way, Mr. Chair. And that's my right to use suspect. Please suspend that way, Secretary.

Chris Van Hollen (48:19)

Well, I can go on. I mean, there's other things here. We spent $227,000 for Big Cat's YouTube channel from USAID. We spent $14 million for social cohesion in Mali, whatever the hell that means. So I can go on and on. I got the list here. There's more. I didn't even bring the whole list. In the case of El Salvador. Absolutely, absolutely. We deported gang members. Gang members, including the one you had a margarita with. And that guy is a human trafficker. And that guy is a gangbanger. And that.

Vince (48:48)

Unreal. Just so good. Yeah. We deported gangsters, including the one you had a margarita with. Van Hollen was losing his mind during this Sequence. He was an emotionally incontinent teenage girl throughout this entire testimony, just shrieking, he's not allowed to say that. He's not allowed to say that. And luckily, the Republicans there who are running the show said, he's the secretary of state. He's the witness. He's allowed to answer these questions. Van Hollen, crazy. And Rubio brought his receipts. Rubio just laid out the list. He's like, what is that? Social cohesion? And Mali, what are we doing? We're paying for circumcisions for people in other countries. This is crazy. Of course we're gonna cut this garbage. Of course. Why wouldn't we? As Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth might say, we're done with that shit. We're not doing that anymore. Van Hollen's freaking out. I can't even believe. Can you believe Van Holland is still doubling down on this idiocy? Van Hollen went all in on MS.13 gangster to the point of throwing little pebbles against his jailhouse window. Please come out, Kilmar. Please, can Kilmar come out to play? Goes and hangs out with him in El Salvador drinking margaritas. He comes back, he thinks that was a win. And the Democrats become so convinced it was a win, the rest of them start showing up outside of ICE detention centers where they're keeping these types of criminals, and then they assault police officers. Lamonica McIver this week charged with assault on law enforcement.

Marco Rubio (50:25)

We're done with that shit.

Vince (50:27)

It's hilarious. Yes, well, we are totally done with that shit. We're totally done with that. And so these Democrats, they're doubling down on this idiocy. Baby, I am so glad. You know what? Go ahead and stay in that space. And I told you, from the moment that that happened, when Chris Van Hollen went down to El Salvador, I've been saying we gotta remind him of this every single day. We gotta remind these Democrats of this every single day heading up to the election. And it's not about reminding them. They know what they did. They're just brazen. It's about reminding the voters. And by the way, I've seen some of you on X and thank you for that on social media on a routine basis, reminding these idiots who are not serving the country well, whether it's Democrats or Republicans, by the way, there's people going after Thom Tillis every day, going, I remember what you did, Thom Tillis. I remember you screwing over the Trump agenda. And now you're sucking up the Trump every day on X and every day on social media, acting like you're on his side. How come when push comes to shove, you're constantly shoving back Trump voters? That's what you're doing. So Tillis is doing that. Van Holland deserves to have his face rubbed in this. Lamonica McIver deserves to have her face rubbed in this. Robert Menendez Jr. Every single one of these guys, we need to remind voters every day of what they're doing to you in our country. And I say that because we need to have sustainers for these stories because you know how the news cycle works a week from now. There's so many other things going on. Sometimes you forget the horrors that are being done to you and your country. You don't forget that there are horrors being committed. You just forget the specifics. Cuz we've moved on to the next thing. But let me just insist that we need to make sure that the left is defined by their callous indifference to American citizens every single time they pull this crap and we rub their face in it all the way up until these midterms. Now, I've got some breaking news today regarding Democrats that you should know about. In the House, Congressman Gerry Connolly of Virginia has passed away at the age of 75. As of this morning, we get a statement that he's passed away at the age of 75. Now, he passed away from cancer. Let me just, first of all say cancer is a scourge. It's a horrible thing. And if President Trump can do anything to address this, it'd be great if we could advance cures for cancer in some capacity during the Trump presidency. I know Obama said Biden is in charge of the cancer moonshot. You're in charge, Joe. You can cure cancer. And he didn't, of course, do that. Just like everything else he failed to do for our country, he made a lot of things worse. But figuring out a way to tackle this cancer problem would be one of the biggest modern achievements ever. So that'd be big. And in President Trump's case, he's got the Maha movement behind him. You've got RFK Jr. If Americans become more healthy, you decrease the risk of cancer. So that's already a huge step in the right direction, the Maha movement. But Gerry Connolly passes away today of cancer. He ran for office last year. He ran for reelection and didn't disclose that he was ill until after the election. He deceived voters. Unfortunately, we've detected that trend, haven't we? And now he's dead at the age of 75. That makes him, the third Democrat, by the way, since President Trump came into office who has passed away from cancer. Three Democrat congressmen so far have died from cancer this year. Sylvester Turner of Texas passed away after President Trump came into office. And Raul Grijalva also passed away from cancer. Now, you know, rest in peace, gentlemen, everybody. But here's one of the things I want to tell you about the numbers to all of this. When President Trump came into office, the advantage that Republicans had was five in the House, it was 220 to 215. But now there are three vacancies in the House from three deaths of Democrats. So at this hour, as of this moment, it is 220 to 212, meaning Republicans now, instead of having a five seat advantage in the House, they have an eight seat advantage in the House at this very moment. So we are in the midst of a huge legislative battle that's being played out at this moment right now over the big beautiful bill in Congress. And I mentioned to you that we were hoping that the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Jason Smith, would be able to join us today on this program. I can tell you now we're up against it. That's not happening. But that's because they are right now behind closed doors hashing out the details. But if this vote comes down to the wire, it looks like Republicans can lose. If these go no votes, they can lose three and still get this bill across the finish line. Now, if those votes who are against this vote present, that increases the margin that Republicans can lose in terms of votes that are yes. Anyway, that's a long way of saying at the moment, President Trump has a bigger advantage in terms of the vote tally than he did when he came into office. Republicans have an opportunity here to pass this big beautiful bill. President Trump is pushing them to do it. Now, I do wanna offer one detail about the big beautiful bill that's not getting a ton of attention, but that should. And this is what I wanted to ask Jason Smith about. And if I get a chance to, I will. Or any of these other congressmen, here's a detail you should know inside of this legislative package. They have included no tax on tips. They have included no tax on overtime. That's exactly what we wanna hear. We want those things in. But they don't have no tax on Social Security. There's a reason supposedly for this now. And I went back and I looked at all the White House literature, just so you know. I've been looking at their website, all of their news and here's what they've been saying. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. But then they say tax relief for Social Security recipients. Tax relief. That's different than no tax on Social Security. That's different. They say tax relief. The tax relief they're talking about is a $4,000 tax deduction for Social Security recipients. That's what they're talking about. The reason for this, according to Jason Smith, who spoke to Fox News, he said, under the rules of reconciliation, you cannot touch Social Security directly. So what we did is make sure that they get, meaning America's seniors tax relief for any senior who makes less than $75,000 per year. It's not that we didn't want to do it, says Jason Smith, is that it cannot be done under the rules of reconciliation or you wouldn't qualify for the 51 vote threshold over in the United States Senate. But the tax relief they will receive as an added tax cut, and that will make up for what they have paid in Social Security tax. So again, what Jason Smith is saying here is if you're making under $75,000 a year, you are going to see big tax relief in your Social Security taxes. So that's, that is a. I think that's a meaningful update because remember, President Trump ran on no taxes on any of those things. Jason Smith is saying reconciliation doesn't let us forbid taxes on Social Security. So keep your eyes open for that. I'm gonna kick the tires on this with Republicans because I wanna make sure that that's true. I really do. I wanna make sure that this isn't just a game that's being played. Republicans do play games. I don't want any games here. I want legitimate explanations for what's going on. But right now, the House is working through a big debate on this subject. There are projections that we could have a vote as early as Wednesday night. We're doing this, of course, this program Wednesday morning. We could have a big vote by tonight. The goal was to get this thing done by Memorial Day, which is, of course, this weekend. So the big beautiful bill being considered right now, lastly, Democrats in the Senate yesterday passed a no tax on tips law by unanimous consent. Isn't this interesting? Senator Jackie Rosen, Democrat from Nevada, she picked up Ted Cruz's bill, no tax on tips, and then fired it off yesterday. And they said they want to pass this with unanimous consent. There were no objections. Democrats supported no tax on tips on the Senate yesterday. Now, don't think that's because they want to give people tax cuts on tips. The reason they're doing that is because they're trying to take a weapon out of the hands of Republicans right now saying, oh, no, no, we're for no tax on tips. Yeah, no, no, no, we weren't trying to stop America's tip workers from getting a tax cut. So in the Senate they passed a showpiece yesterday to try and trick everyone into thinking the Democrats are on the side of the working man. They're not. They still aren't. Complete garbage.
