  Speaker 1: May I have been the best post I saw. I
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: had just said. Liz Cheney is gone. By Felicia, Republican Representative,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Liz Cheney is no more losing her her seat in
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Congress in a blood of bath, I mean a beat
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: down by a Donald Trump back challenger, Harriet Hagman and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that Wyoming GOP primary. It's the end of the air,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: by the way, Donald Trump has ended the Bush Cheney
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: air clearly because every time he runs against those families
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and picks candidates against him, they win. Incumbent Republican Liz
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Chenney had has been defeated. It was an early projection,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, as the it was a victory that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: was widely watched contest nationwide, certainly one that was watched
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: by the President. Cheney, who was one of the ten
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Republicans who voted in favor of impeaching Donald Trump last
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: year in wake of the January sixth Riot, was ousted
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: from her role as House Republican Conference chair last year
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: as well. She is one of the two Republican lawmakers
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: sitting on the House Select Committee established to investigate the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: January sixth episode. Now, at least some of the people
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that were running decided not to run for reelection when
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they knew the writing was on the wall. But Liz Cheney,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: being arrogant and Khaki is all get out, decided to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: run even though she was down in the polls. Somehow
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: as a nartist, convincing herself and even having her dad
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do an ad on Fox News Channel Dick Cheney about
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: why she needed to go back to Washington. Democratic lawmakers
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: had urged people to vote for changing the GOP primary.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Representive Dean Phillips of Minneapolis encouraged people please consider temporarily
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: switching parties and voting for Liz Cheney on or by
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: August the sixteenth, saying it's so important that we keep
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: people like Liz Chenney, the useful idiots for the left,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: actually in office. This is also referred to as an
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Operation Chaos. Take a listen, hi, I'm Dean Phillips, a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Democratic Member of Congress from Minnesota. Principle must always come
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: before politics, and nobody has shown more honor, integrity, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: courage than she. Patriots will put it all on the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: line to protect our country, and Liz Cheney has done that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It's far more important than any policy differences that we
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: might have so I ask you to please consider temporarily
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: switching parties and voting for Liz Cheney on or by
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: August sixteenth. They'll be sending a very clear message to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and protecting our democracy. Thank you. Yeah, there
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it is to sending a very clear message to Donald Trump. Right, Yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: let's stick it to Trump that I'll teach him. Yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna show him something. We're gonna send
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: him a message that is exactly how they wanted this
• 2:55

• 3:59
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to this other part. That
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: former Republican President George W. Bush had given the maximum
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: donation by the way that he could give to Liz
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Cheney two thousand, nine hundred dollars in the primary, according
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to the the Houston Chronicle, which know that Karl Rove had
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: also shelled out the maximum donation. Rove even served as
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a senior advisor and as a deput chief of staff
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to Cheney and Bush. As you know, Cheney the daughter
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of Dick Cheney, who served as a Vice president during
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the Bush's White House tenure. In a campaign ad for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: his daughter, Dick Chaney declared, quote, there is nothing more
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: important she will ever do than lead the effort to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: make sure Donald Trump is never again never in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Oval Office, and she will succeed, he said in the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: ad that didn't go over very well. Former President Donald
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Trump endorsed Hagman last year while calling Cheney a warmongerer
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and disloyal Republican as well as a rhino, which is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: an acronym for the phrase Republican in name only. If
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the cost of standing out for the Constitution is losing
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the House seat, then that's a price I'm willing to pay,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Cheney had said at the time to The New York Times.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: During an interview last month, Cheney told CNN's Jake Tapper
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that no matter the outcome of the primary contest, she
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: would fight hard to ensure that Donald Trump is never
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: anywhere close to the Oval Office ever. Again, Trump and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a bunch of those House Republican leaders are trying to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: get you defeated in your primary, your Republican primary in August.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I couldn't help but notice that two of the individuals
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: whom we've heard from in these hearings privately expressing outrage
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: at their former bosses lies in actions. Former Trump campaign
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: manager Bill Stepian and former Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtough.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They're both currently fully engaged in trying to defeat you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in the Wyoming primary, specifically because you're standing up to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the very things that they expressed outrage about privately. That
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: must be really strange for you. I mean, look, it is.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's a highly unusual moment, certainly in American politics, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I am working hard here in Wyoming to earn every vote.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But I will also say this, I'm not going to lie.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say things that aren't true about
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the election. My opponents are doing that, certainly simply for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the purpose of getting elected. And Jake, if I have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to choose between maintaining a seat in the House of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Representatives or protecting the constitutional republic and ensuring the American
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: people know the truth about Donald Trump, I'm going to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: choose the Constitution and the truth every single day. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: so you know, as I said, I'm fighting hard no
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: matter what happens on August sixteenth, I'm going to wake
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up on August seventeenth and continue to fight hard to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere close to the Oval
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: office ever. Again, if you end up losing your job
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in Congress because of your work on this committee, will
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have been worth it to you. There's no question I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: believe that my work on this committee is the single
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: most important thing I've ever done professionally. It is an
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: unbelievable honor to represent the people of Wyoming in Congress.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And I know that all of us who are elected
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: officials take an oath that we swear under God to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the Constitution, and that oath has to mean something, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that oath means that we cannot embrace and enable the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: president as dangerous as Donald Trump is. And my obligations
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and my responsibilities on this committee are to ensure that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: we understand exactly what happens so that we can establish
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: legislation and recommendations to help ensure it never happens again.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I love this. Right, Donald Trump is the most dangerous
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: man in America. This is what a Republican Liz Cheney
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Dick James daughter was saying going into the election, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: this is why she lost. Right runs a Democrat, be
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. But you can't tell me that Donald Trumps
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was dangerous man in America when you have the Bidens
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: who left eight hundred Americans behind in Afghanistan and we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: had to figure out how to get them out after
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we left them there, right, left them there at the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: hands of the Taliband, like, give me a break. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the big headline is Donald Trump back challenger, defeat to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Liz Cheney and the GOP primary election as Democrats tried
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Operation Chaos, switching parties to try to save her because
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: she said she believes that Donald Trump is a criminal
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and she was gonna make sure he never stepped foot
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: back in the Oval office. Well, she'll never step foot
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: back in Congress to make a vote. After election night,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: She'll yeah, I mean she'll soon as you get to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: go there for the next couple of weeks and then
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it's over. Liz Cheney lost her reelection bid because she
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: bought into the big lie. Some say she'll be remembered
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: as a hero among cowards. Others say she's well a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: liar among heroes. She said, at the cost of standing
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: out for the constitutions, losing the House seat, then that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the price I'm willing to pay. America cannot remain free
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: if we abandon the truth. The lie that the twenty
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: president election was stolen is insidious. It preys on those
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: who love their country. It is a door Donald Trump
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: opened to manipulate Americans to abandon their principles and sacrifice
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and freedom to justify violence, to ignore the ruling of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: our courts and the rule of law. That is the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: famous quote, now, they'd say from Liz Cheney. And she
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: said she was going to make sure that he was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: never back in that oval office. So then she goes
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: nuts after losing the election and decides that she's like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: some sort of I don't know, historical figure comparing herself
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, she's been mocked now after comparing
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: herself to former President Abraham lincol and after her blowout
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: loss in the Wyoming Republican primary for the state's at
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: large seat with more than ninety five percent of votes counted,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Chenney loss by more than a two to one margin,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: sixty six point three percent to twenty eight point nine percent.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And how much of the twenty eight point nine percent
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: were actually Democrats who switched over to be Republicans. We
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: may never know. I love this tonight. Harriet Hagman has
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: received the most votes in this primary. She won, Chenney
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: said during her speech, following your loss, I called her
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to concede the race. This primary election is over, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: now the real work begins. Jenny then proceeded to compare
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: herself to Abraham Lincoln and the Union General Grant, who
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: later went on to become America's eighteenth president. She said, quote,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: before he won the most important election of all. Lincoln
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: ultimately prevailed. He saved our union. He defined our obligation
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: as Americans for all of history. Several minutes later, Chenney
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: continued saying, quote. In May of eighteen sixty four, after
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: years of war in a string of reluctant Union generals,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Grant met General Lee's forces at the Battle of the Wilderness.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: In two days of heavy fighting, the Union suffered seventeen
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thousand casualties, Chenney continued. At the end of the battle,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: General Grant faced a choice. Most assumed he would do
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: what previous Union generals had done and retreat. On the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: evening of May the seventh, Grant began to move as
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the fires of the battles still smoldered. Grant road to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the head of the column. He rode to the intersection
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of Brock Road and Orange Plant Road, and there as
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the men of his army, Washington waited. Instead of turning
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: north towards Washington safety, Grant turned his horses south towards
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Richmond in the heart of Lee's army. Refusing to retreat,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he pressed on to victory. Lincoln and Grant and all
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: who fought in our nation's tragic Civil War, including my
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: own great great grandfather, saved our union. Cheney immediately was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: mocked on social media following her blow at loss to Hagman,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: as many conservatives especially took issue with her link in comparison.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: One said Liz Chenney tried to make herself a martyr
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: at the expense of our country and our party. That's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: what Wesley Hunter, Republican Kenne for Congress tweeted, saying comparing
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: yourself to Lincoln doesn't change that the comparison is tone
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: death and ridiculous. As her seat on the January sixth
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: committee was. Another conservative talk show host a friend of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: mine tweeted out, Abraham Lincoln has a better shout at
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: becoming president in twenty twenty four than Liz Cheney. Liz
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: has a very inflative view of herself. That's what a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: long time ESPN reporter tweeted out. Another said, number one
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: dropping ads across Wyoming against Liz Chenney was one of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the most fulfilling professional task I've done. To Dayton Politics.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Florida GOP vice chairman Christian Zegor tweeted this, no chances
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this woman has a shot at President case at two
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: point zero dot three. This should sunset the Chenness from
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: any more politics, thankfully. Actor Dean came said, you're not
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. However, Yeah, yeah, you're just like Abraham Lincoln,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you piece of trash. Another attorney said, firing back at
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Liz Chenny. Absolute delusional. Conservative commentator Ali bass Stucky tweeted
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: out after she referred to herself as Abraham Lincoln. Here's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: what I'll say. I am glad. I mean this sincerely.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I am thankful that she is done. I am thankful
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that she lost. I am thankful that it's over. It's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: about time. And she has done everything she can to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: undermine She has done everything she can to attack conservatives.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: She has done everything she can to undermine Republicans and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: anyone around Donald Trump. And this is what happens when
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you do that, when you're a useful idiot for the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: left and we get to expose it, you lose seventy thirty,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: which is basically what happened. And a lot of the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: people that voted for you were Democrats who switched over.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So I'd love to know what the real numbers are.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It could be eighty twenty. And for a sitting member
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of Congress to get beat down this way, I'm sorry.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: She deserved every bit of it. So congratulations the people
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of Wyoming. You now finally get someone who's willing to
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: represent you, not their own personal interests. Now here's the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: best part. For a woman that claims it's all about
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the future and democracy and everything else, right like this is,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you would think that she would be totally cool with this,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But this morning she went on the Today Show because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: she's going to get a job as a commentator somewhere
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: right away, because she's a useful idiot. This morning, you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and when she was doing this interview, it's like three
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in the morning where she was in Wyoming. This is
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: what she had to say about Donald Trump. Listen, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm remembering back to when we had an interview back
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one when you lost your leadership position. I said,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they are coming after you. President Trump wants to go
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to Wyoming, and take you on in the primary, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you said, bring it on. What they did, and here
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: we are and you lost. How do you feel about that? Now?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: What's your response today? Well, look, I think you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: as we've talked about before, I won my primary by
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: seventy three percentage points two years ago. The path to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that same victory would have been very easy. It was
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: clear how that path would go. But that path would
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: have required that I accept that I embrace that I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: perpetuate the big lie. And I've been very clear at
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: every moment since January sixth that there are some things
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that have got to be above politics. That there's no
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: political office that's more important than the principles that we
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: take an oath to defend. And I believe that Donald
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Trump continues to pose a very grave threat and to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: our republic, and I think that defeating him is going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to require abroad and united front of Republicans, Democrats, and independents,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and that's what I intend to be part of. Back
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to a moment for your race. We all know the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: old adage all politics as local, and in focus groups
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and interviews with reporters, many Wyoming voters said that you
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: had lost your way. You went Washington, and you were
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: focused too much on Trump and not the issues that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: they cared about. One poll showed sixty one percent of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: likely Republican voters there said you weren't focused on Wyoming issues.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Was that the issue? Did you have the wrong focus? No? Look,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I think I'm very proud of everything that I accomplished,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that we accomplished together with the voters of Wyoming over
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the last nearly six years. But it became very clear
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: after Donald Trump attacked the capital, sent a mob to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: attack the capitol, refused to accept the results of the election,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: refused to tell his supporters to leave the capital when
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the assault was under way, that this was a threat
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that we've never faced before. He crossed the line that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't be crossed. And and as a nation, you don't
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: get the opportunity to debate and discuss any other issue
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: if you simply turn your head away from that kind
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of a fundamental threat on our Republican point of facts.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Republican leader Kevin McCarthy did consider this a referendum on
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: your work on January sixth, President, I love it. Right Now,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: here's the other part. CNN this morning's already running an
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: article that is saying, let's Chaney for president twenty twenty four.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Run as a Democrat. Right, if you're thinking about running
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: about for president, I mean, they don't even miss a beat.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: You get beat seventy thirty in your election, and then
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: immediately the meedy is like, wow, you know you've got
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to be looking at running for president? Right? How do
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you you lose a congressional seat seventy to thirty your
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: state rejection, You're like, let's talk about you running for president. Listen,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the former president said last night, you're now headed to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: political oblivion. You said, this fight is just beginning. You've
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: even launched a political organization already, So let's just be
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: straight about it. Are you considering running for president yourself? Well,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do, Savannah, is spend the next
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: several months completing my work in Congress, obviously completing my
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: work representing the people of Wyoming. We have a tremendous
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: amount of work left to do on the January sixth Committee.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And also though I'm going to be making sure that
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: people all around this country understand the stakes of what
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: we're facing, understand the extent to which we've now got
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: one major political party. My party, which has really become
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a cult of personality, and we've got to get this
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: party back to a place where we're embracing the values
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and the principles on which it was founded and talking about,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you know, fundamental issues of civics, fundamental issues of what
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: does it mean to be a constitutional republic. But Congressman,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you didn't answer me Donald Trump. I will be doing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the overlaw. Well,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I know you didn't say yes or no, and that's
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: fine if you're thinking about it. But are you thinking
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: about it? Are you thinking about running for president? That's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a decision that I'm going to make in the in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the coming months. To Dan, I'm not going to make
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: any announcements here this morning, but but it is something
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about and I'll make a decision in
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the coming month. Yeah, I love this. Right, So you
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just got your brains beat in Yes, Okay, So now
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? I'm going to run for president, right,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. I'm thinking I'm thinking about
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: running for president. Like it's a pretty you know, I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: think that's what's going to happen. And if you want
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to know why she's going to run for president. She said,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party today is in very bad shape. Right
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that you get your brains beat in seventy thirty and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: this is how delusional the elitists are in DC listen
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: or backing them. You are now the latest House Republican
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: who had cross party lines and voted to impeach President
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Trump to not me retaining your seat. Only two have
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: one in their primaries. You know, people talk about the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: battle for the soul of the Republican Party. You have
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: said there's a time for choosing whether we're loyal to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the Constitution or loyal to Trump, and we must Has
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that choice been made by Republicans fundamentally. Look, I think
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party today is in very bad shape, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I think that we have a tremendous amount of work
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to do. I think it could take several election cycles,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: but the country has got to have a Republican party
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that's actually based on substance, based on principles, you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: based on a belief in limited government and low taxes
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and a strong national defense, belief that the party that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the family has got to be the center of our
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: community and of our lives, and those are the principles
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I believe in. That's what the party used to stand for,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and we've got to get the party back to that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: A party that is instead embraced Donald Trump embraced is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: called the personality is looking the other way as he
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: continues to do things like put out the names of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: FBI agents just in the last few days, when he
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: knows that our law enforcement is the target of islands,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: put out the lies that he has put out in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the last few days about what happened in its search
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: warrant execution at mar Lagoum. Every Republican, every American should
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: reject those and I certainly know there are millions of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Republicans and Americans across this country who will. And finally,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: in the moments we have word on the street was
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that you and your team were fond of an editorial
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: recently that like I still love this right, like we're
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: gonna give her a grand invitation. You lose seventy thirty,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: do you have the new candidate on that one? No,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you have the candidate on that lost. And when she loses,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: right when she loses, you bring her on and you say,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: tell us about yourself, tell us what you think. This
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: means Republican Party is in bad shape. Right. I also
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: laugh last night because you can see the eulogy happening, right,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And I told you, sug get a TV job out
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of this. CNN's on limit. Imply legit, you can easily
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: get a paid TV gig, right, and said, there isn't
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a network quote who will turn her down because when
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you attack Donald Trump, you get paid to do it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Every fake Republican that I had to work with at CNN,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: if you were willing to turn on Donald Trump, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: would become a darling of CNN. Right, Sam at MSNBC,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: If you'll become a useful idiot member the former Republican
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Chairman of the National Party is over at MSNBC ripping
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: on Trump every day. You'll make a killing. If you'll
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: just rip on Donald Trump. That's all you gotta do.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You say, hey, I'm a Republican, here's my resume. I'll
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump, and they'll pay you hundreds of thousands
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of dollars and they will make you famous because you're
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a useful idiot. And listen and list Jenny will be
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the next listen the Republican Party. I mean not that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we didn't know this before, but this is one more
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: data point, a big data point. When you see that
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: A Cheney lost so big in Wyoming and it is
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Trump's party. I mean, that's just what it says, and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: it said it for for a long time. But I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: do think when we're looking at like what's next and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: where does she take this from here, I think that
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: we need to think about the term campaign in a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: non traditional way because we think about campaign as I'm
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: running for office or uh, you know, I want this
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to happen. I want this for myself. And I'm not
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: saying that she's not. You know, she is a politician
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and she wants to have m a say in public discourse.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But she also is a very famous person who will
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: use her megaphone and her platform to keep saying the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: kind of thing that she said, and she will get attention.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: She will get a lot of attention. So we'll see
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and and and there is there isn't a network who
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: will turn her down, and she right if she offers
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: or she wants to come on so she'll be able
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to discuss all of it right there. It is, there's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: not a network. She's got a she's very famous folks,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: So you should listen to her, not because of her ideas,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: but because she's famous. She's so famous, you gotta understand
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: how famous she is. She's going to have a very
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: large microphone. She's very famous. She's Liz Cheney, and she's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: very famous, folks, very very famous. On TV, they're saying
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: she's an amazing hero and she's going to do everything
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: she can. Tiger Carlson, by the way, just sometimes knows,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I think how to really rub it in and bring
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: up a point, and he said this about Liz Cheney.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Liz Chenney has made a lot of money being a congresswoman.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Take a listen how listening gets so rich. She's been
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a member of Congress for six years now. So when
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: she took office in twenty seventeen, her net worth was
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: estimated at seven million dollars, which is a lot for
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: someone with no skills, but that's what she had. Now
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: she's worth more than forty four million dollars, according to
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Center for Response to Politics, which looked at her financial
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: disclosure forms. Now, probably an honest explanation for all of this.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: We're not accusing her of robbing liquor stores, but you
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: have to wonder how did Liz Cheney ank more than
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: thirty six million dollars and six years of public service.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's six million a year. Huh, good gig. She didn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: report any earned income gifts her transactions in her disclosure
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: from her top listed assets were City Bank three million
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: dollars and money from her husband's law from Lathman Watkins
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: also three million. It's also money from a family trust.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: We assume that accounted for a lot of the cash,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but we don't know. Whatever the case, it's not Wyoming's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: problem anymore. After tonight, Liz Cheney is going back to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: where she's actually from, suburban Virginia, probably running for president too,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and we look forward to that. Seven million dollars a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: year is how much money she was making every year
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: she was in Congress. Right, And this is why you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: compare yourself to Abraham Lincoln. I guess listen, the great
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln was defeated
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: in elections for the Senate the House before he won
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: for all of history. Speaking at Gettysburg. Of the great
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: task remaining before us, Lincoln said that we here highly
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that this nation under God shall have a new birth
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and for the people shall not perish from this earth.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: most important task. Most of world history is a story
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: of violent conflict, of servitude and suffering. Most people, in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: most places have not lived in freedom. Our American freedom
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: is a providential departure from history. We are the exception.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: We have been given the gift of freedom by God
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and our founding fathers. It has been said that the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: long arc of history bends toward justice and freedom. That's true,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: but only if we make it bend. Today. Our highest
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: duty is to bend the arc of history, to preserve
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: our nation and its blessings, to ensure that freedom will
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: not perish, to protect the very foundations of this constitutional republic.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: There it is right, This is this is our freedoms.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: This is how we roll, This is how things get better. Right.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna and I'm gonna run for president. I lost
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the last election by seventy percent, But I will not
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: be You know, if Abraham Lincoln thinks getting a little
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: bit old. Just to give you some comparisons, everybody, everybody
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: is like now into Abraham Lincoln. MSNBC compare the NFL
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: protesters to Abraham Lincoln. Thing that you guys can give
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it to us, what a Republican you're rich, you should
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: shut up. Well, then if you're the Party of Lincoln,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: then how then how could then how does new Gingridge
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: justify that Abraham Lincoln fought to free slaves he didn't
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: need to do that. Well, look to hop goblin of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: little minds according to him. No, but this is this
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: is extradinary, and I think this is one of these issues.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Like so much in the Trump presidency, it's just been
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: such a surfacer and revealer of character. I mean, on
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: some fundamental issues. I can't say. In the case of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: new Gingridge, I'm particularly surprised by where he's where he's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: coming out, because I think his character has been well
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: known for at least twenty or twenty five years. But
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that kind of comment is just so extraordinary because there's
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the only way to see it is as a racially
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: motivated comment. He would never say about an American who's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: done well in this world, a hedge fund billionaire, you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: should shut up because you're rich. I mean, that would
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: be he would say, Well, that's a view of the left.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: You know, progressives are telling rich people that they don't
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: have a right to free speech. But it so that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you have an African American who might have made money
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and they are supposed to stay silent. We got to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: move on. I love this. Right, everybody's about Abraham Lincoln
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: now on the left. Right, everybody wants to talk about
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. Well, I tell Lincoln this and link in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that and Lincoln that, and she's going to run for president,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and the media is going to rally around her, right,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I mean that's why she that's why she says, I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: like Abraham Lincoln. Right, I am right, you know, Abraham Lincoln.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I am the Abraham Lincoln. Right. Another they call her
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: today tonight a truth teller. That was the other line
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they kept using. This is a this is a truth
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: telling moment right there. It lives Cheney right, there's nothing
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: more than defense of our constitution. But I'll let democrats
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: run them buck and destroy our constitution. Why I claim this.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You you not talking as much about when their president
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: is taking might give a we'll get more Republicans. Regrets
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: on that, I have no regrets. I feel very proud
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: about all the work that I've done together with people
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Wyoming over the last six years and really understand and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: recognize there's nothing more important in the defense of our constitution,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and so I'm going to continue to work and ensure
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that we're doing that in a way that is nonpartisan.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I love it, by the way, Dick Cheney's right next
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to her when she's saying that. And look, everybody's getting older.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'm getting older. Shoot, I hit forty this year, right,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: But I mean he's just sitting there and it's like
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you can see the terror in his eyes that his
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: daughter is going to lose. And then she did. But
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: don't worry. We're going to run for present, right, because
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that's how we roll. This is what you're dealing with
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: with the left. This is it all right. Lastly, please
