Vince (13:22)
As Trump called you, at this point, I've indicated to the White House that I won't support his nomination. Pay attention to all of the, like, the, the mindless analysis that went into this, the empty analysis that went into his decision making. He's a nice guy. He's. He's bright. I like him. He would be a perfectly good U.S. attorney in every other district in the country. In fact, if he was nominated for any other U.S. attorney position, I would confirm him, but not for the District of Columbia. Tell me how that makes sense in any way. It doesn't make any sense unless Thom Tillis committed some sort of crime in the District of Columbia that he doesn't want the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. to hold him accountable for. That's the only thing that could possibly make sense here. What I would confirm him to every other district in the country, but not this one. That doesn't. It doesn't pass the smell test. And this thing stinks to high heaven. And you heard him say it a moment ago. At this point, you know what that means. He's opened the suggestion here. You see this number down here? See that? His phone number is 202-224-6342. That's the phone number to reach Thom Tillis and let him know what you think. Be polite, by the way. Just be honest about what you want here. You want Ed Martin to be confirmed. You want Ed Martin to be confirmed. By the way, he also has a fax number. I don't know how many people still use fax machines, but I think you can send faxes on the Internet, actually. So if you'd like to send them a fax and if it just says confirm Ed Martin, feel free. I'd be interested to know what happens to their fax machines today. But there you go. Phone number and fax machine for Thom Tillis, and especially if you're from North Carolina, I'm telling you right now, please indicate that. If you are a North Carolina voter, indicate that as you make these calls or send these faxes to let them know, because that, that adds weight to your call inside of a Senate office that's supposed to represent the state of North Carolina. We'll see how far it goes. But here's the thing about Tillis, the at this point qualification that he's added, this is not the first time he's done this with a Trump nominee. He keeps doing this with Trump nominees. You remember he did this with Pete Hegseth. He was trying to sabotage Pete Hegseth's nomination to become the Secretary of Defense. And in the end, he folded under pressure from you and from the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Take a look here. I've got the New York Times after this went all went down and they reported on how Thom Tillis was behaving during all of this. New York Times headline. As Trump threatened a primary, a GOP holdout on Hegseth flipped. Before Thom Tillis voted to confirm Hegseth as Defense secretary, he worked with accusers to make the case against him in a bid to get Republican leaders to scrap the vote altogether. They elaborate that four days after President Trump was sworn in for his second term, his nominee for Defense secretary, Hegseth, was teetering on the brink of defense on the Senate floor. And the president was on Air Force One talking about political retribution. Mr. Trump had gotten word that Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, planned to oppose Pete Hegseth, the former Fox and Friends weekend host who was his choice for Pentagon chief. And yada, yada, yada, they're trying to say, oh, he faces all these allegations. He's a terrible person. They say if Mr. Tillis could not be brought to heel by that night, there would be enough Republican no votes to sink Mr. Hegseth's confirmation. Humiliating defeat at the dawn of Mr. Trump's second term. Turning to a group of North Carolina lawmakers who were flying with the president to survey storm damage, Mr. Trump noted Mr. Tillis's impending defection. Then he posed a question. Which of you want my endorsement for a primary challenge to Thom Tillis next year? That's how President Trump played this. The implication was clear. Mr. Tillis refusal to back Mr. Hegseth would cost him he his seat. By that night, Mr. Tillis, who had been toiling behind the scenes for days to kill Hegseth's nomination so he could avoid having to publicly cross, Trump would vote to confirm Hegseth to control the most powerful military force in the world. So we've seen this. This keeps happening. This keeps happening. And Tillis is open to suggestion here. As he says, at this point, he's against Ed Martin. Well, let's see what happens at the next point and whether or not he's still against Ed Martin, because this is one of those Votes, you gotta know we're watching. We're watching, Tom. And if you're a North Carolina resident, North Carolina voter in particular, I hope you're watching and communicating with your United States Senator right now because this is a very big moment and unwinding, as Mike Benz says, as unwinding all of this craziness. It happens with the help of great prosecutors and almost none of these prosecutors other than the Attorney General of the United States. Nobody's more important here than the U.S. attorney for D.C. this is absolutely critical. This is the critical moment. And Mike Benz is good, by the way. We'll have Mike Benz back on the show soon. I'm hoping to get him here in studio. I just saw, I saw him actually this past weekend. We were out at, we were at a horse race together in Virginia. They have this thing called the Gold cup every year and there was Mike and I said, mike, I'm seeing you in person. He said, vince, I'm seeing you in person. And I say, well good, come into the studio. We'll do this again in person. So it'll be, it'll be good to have him back. The guy's very, very talented. Always a great guest.

By the time we went live on the radio show yesterday, we had the name. These are the names that were trending. You did this. The names that were trending were Ed Martin, Thom Tillis and Rhino. Those were the names that were trending yesterday by noon Eastern time, which was wild. I think the only thing that was trending higher than that on X yesterday, the number one thing was Carney, and that's because the Canadian Prime Minister, John Carney, was meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office yesterday. So President Trump did some big things yesterday, of course. So they went number one. But this topic went number two yesterday. So thank you for that. It's been really gratifying to see and a sign that a lot of great American patriots are having a big impact on the national conversation. So this has been, this has been really important. And, you know, you know, God willing, I think yesterday on the radio show, for those of you who watch on rumble, rumble.com Vince, we had some hot mic issues. You know, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be another day of the week without a random tech issue, but we had a hot mic issue. On the breaks, we usually don't have the mic set, but my mic was accidentally up and I said, I was looking at this, I was talking to producer Jim and I said, I feel like we're going to get Ed Martin through. I feel like we're going to do it. And I got the whole chat, could hear me yammering on the break about this. But let me just tell you, on the hot mic on purpose, I feel like we can do it. I wouldn't be spending my time on this if I didn't think we both had a choice and that it was so important because it is, it is very, very important to do so. So that's gonna be, that's gonna be a really big deal. Let's, let's move on to some other topics, though, while we're, you know, while, while I've got your attention because there's a lot going on. We have a big story about the United States military breaking yesterday. The United States supreme court, in a 6, 3 decision, allowed the president's transgender ban to go through, which is great news. What is going on with my computer right now? I can't see anything allowed the president's transgender ban to go through. That's a huge, huge deal. And it's really what the court is saying in so many Words is, yes, President Trump is the commander in chief. It's crazy, right, that the United States Supreme Court would have to say that The Supreme Court confirming Trump is indeed the commander in chief of the United States military. And yes, he can stop people with mental illness from serving in its ranks. Fellas, let me pull this up. Supreme Court allows Trump administration to enforce transgender military ban. This is after a number of left wing judges had gotten in the way and demanded that men play acting as women and vice versa should be in the United States military and should be given weapons of war. Now, notice the left's position on guns. To the extent that there's anything that we can detect here, it's completely incoherent. What does the left tell you about so called weapons of war? Well, that's how they describe any hunting rifle in the United States. They try and stop you from owning a gun. Law abiding citizens from owning semiautomatic rifles based on the idea that Americans, quote, shouldn't own weapons of war. But the second it's up to the left, you understand what they're doing. They're saying we should arm mentally ill people with weapons of war. This is their game plan. We're going to give mentally ill people weapons of war. And not just semi automatic weapons, fully automatic weapons, in some cases, weapons of war. This is lunacy. So, of course that means it's what the left is doing. This is what the left is doing. And so yesterday, the United States supreme court, in a 6, 3 decision, allowed the Trump administration to enforce its transgender military ban, which is, of course, good for readiness, good for safety, good for our troops. This is what you need. In a 6, 3 decision, the majority granting the administration's request to halt the lower court's ruling, preventing the policy from taking effect. Justices, Sonia Sotomayor. This is so predictable. I know you're not surprised, but I'll just say their names anyway. Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown. I'm not a biologist. Jackson would have denied the administration's request according to the order. In its application, the administration argued that the lower court's injunction cannot be squared with the substantial deference that the department's professional military judgments are owed. It is undisputed that gender dysphoria is a medical condition associated with clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning, according to the Solicitor General, John D. Sauer. Sorry, D. John Sauer, writing this on April 24th. So anyway, this is, you know, these lefty judges, they thought hey, we could take over here. We'll just make these decisions, we'll cause lots of chaos and we'll hurt the American military in the process. The Supreme Court saying, no, you won't. So this will continue to play out through the courts, but at the moment, the President's order stands and it's a really good sign of the way the Supreme Court's gonna rule if this thing makes it all the way to the tippy top. So this is a very big deal and a reaffirmation that the Commander in Chief is the Commander in chief. So we can't, we can't be playing these types of games. Here's a question for the live chat for the veterans out there. Are you happy veterans? Are you happy with this decision? Are you happy with the Supreme Court? Are you pleased with the President of the United States? Stopping people who have delusions about their gender from taking up weapons and being in the military, taking advantage of tax resources, paying for costly surgeries, being taken off of the front lines because they're being held back in order to get those surgeries? Using gender of confusion as an excuse not to deploy. Are you pleased as veterans with what the President has done here? Any opposition? I'm telling you, if I see opposition, I'll flag it here. I don't know. Yeah, everyone seems to be happy here. Yeah, and it makes sense, you know, I come from a big military family and everybody's on this page. This is too much. We just need, you know what it's like. The left has been all about this wokeification of the military forever meddling with the military. They have a special animus for the military. Cuz the military has always been, insofar as the government has these, it's been the last bastion of traditional values, you know, where it's pretty obvious that men are men and women are women. And the military has always had a sincere love of country. People in the military, by and large are typically pretty religious people. We have chaplains, we have chapels, you know, people go to religious services. It's an amazing actually cross section of America. And what defines the military is not its diversity, but what, what do those great men and women who serve have in common and their allegiance and their commitment to their country. So it's great. And so in other words, the left wants to destroy it. They've tried to do that for years. They've constantly targeted the military for this type of destruction. And I remember talking to my dad's, as you may know, a retired Marine Corps major general. So I've had 36 years he did in the Marine Corps. So I grew up in this environment on these Marine Corps bases. And I always remember him saying, talking about the. You know how sometimes, like, you get a dignitary, like, the president gets up there, he gets up on a stage, he's speaking in front of the presidential seal. And behind him, at a military base, they're gonna put tons of members of the military, all standing in uniform behind the President. And it used to be that when a president would speak and you're projecting this image to the world, there he is, look behind him, it's the American military. You would put hopefully the biggest, baddest dudes you could find all behind him in the stands just to show not only how great our country is, but to really show how kick ass our military is. That's what you want. And I remember my dad always saying, like, what are they doing? Why are they putting fat people behind the president? Why are they putting just random people? Just like somebody had decided, oh, we're gonna do this based on a color palette or something, or we're gonna make it gonna show all different shapes and sizes and colors and genders, and everyone's gonna fill in. It became this political operation that had nothing to do with showing just how impressive our military is. And so my dad's view has always been, why can't we just put the baddest dudes possible behind the President just to project that image to the world? I can't help but agree. I think that's a good move. And speaking of the wokification of the military, the Secretary of Defense is speaking out on this this week in a statement I think you're gonna love. I've got that in just a moment. Before we get there, I gotta thank the sponsors who make this program happen each and every day. Our thank you to them. You know, I've been using the bone charge infrared sauna blanket. I'm telling you, this thing is pretty cool. Bon charge. The infrared sauna blanket. I don't have a sauna. I have a sauna blanket.
