  Speaker 2: we just say the age again because that's important to me.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Fifty four, and I will say a good friend of
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: mine texted me and said I look great for sixty five,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: which I appreciated very much. I will say that there

• 1:07
  Speaker 2: because I mean, let's be honest, that's like long.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I think I'm enough.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Apparently, I think I have enough wisdom that I do
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: a podcast three days a week. So ah, I'm at
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: least happy to prattle on about what's going on three
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: times a week. Whether it's wise or not, I leave
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: that to our incredible verdict listeners.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: But by way, I make no promises. Well plad, he's
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: still feisty at fifty four.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So you hung out with you hung out with Trump today?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad birthday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I started the day.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I was in Phoenix and I was at America Fest
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Turning Points, big rally there and it was incredible. Three
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: thousand plus people, young people, mostly college kids, energized. They
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: were incredible. So I started the day, gave a speech
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: to Turning Point, which actually we're going to end the
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: podcast with your hearing what I had to say.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: But then after I gave my speech, two speakers after
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: me it was Donald Trump, and so I caught up
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: with the President backstage and then he went, He went
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: on stage and gave gave very concise hour and a
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: half re marks, which we will not play the full
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: hour and a half re marks, although they were actually
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: they were fun.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I got to say.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: President Trump was in a great mood. He was happy,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: he was loose, he was cutting jokes, he was feeling
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: really good. So we are going to play at exchange
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: because while he was standing on stage, he decided to
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: call me up to say something. And the problem was
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I was backstage and didn't know he was going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: do it. So he starts calling me up and I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: like what what? And so I kind of run from backstage.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: But there's an amusing back and forth where he's looking around,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: going where the hell's dead? And since I didn't know
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: he was going to do that, I was way backstage.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: I'm really glad I wasn't in the men's room when
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: he did that. But we're going to play that exchange
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: where we're.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Let's just be clear. You love doing that too, Yes,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to do that. And it's such a fun thing when
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you're up there and you know you can call somebody
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: out and if they're not paying attention, you get to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: roast them and if they are paying attention. And I've
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: been the butt of that once or twice so far
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in my time hanging around you, and and and you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you relish the moment just as much as is Donald Trump.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Does, undoubtedly, and more will come. We're also going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: talk about the fact that Joe Biden is talking about
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: commuting every single murderer on federal death row. And this
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: is something sadly that that verdict predicted a year ago.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: So we're going to walk through what the news is
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and what we predicted, but it is an incredible abomination
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: of justice. If Biden goes through with this. Then we're
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: going to talk about the fact that SNL SNL talked
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: about the murderer who murdered the healthcare CEO and the
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: crowd cheered for the murderer and just exactly what that means.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: And then finally, as I said, we're going to give
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: you my remarks to Turning point three thousand people.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It was energized.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: It was an incredible day, and I got to say,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the young men and women at Turning Point really do
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: inspire me because they are working, they are passionate, they
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: are fighting, they are turning this country around. And I
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: think the victory we saw in November is in significant
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: part due to their hard work and the hard work
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: of millions across the country.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We are just a couple of days away from Christmas,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and if you're looking for a ass minute gift to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of save yourself because maybe.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: You got behind.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I've never done that in my life, but if you
• 4:30

• 4:33

• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So let's paint the stage here for everybody that may
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: not have seen your comments at turning Point, because when
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump went up on stage, there was a really
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: funny moment you mentioned in the intro there, and that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: was you being backstage. And then what was funny was
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: is people start putting on social media as Center Cruz
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: sneaking up on Trump on stage, which made me laugh
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: because he was looking for you. And I'm glad that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Secret Service. Did you know, like tackle you or anything,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But this is what Donald Trump had to say when
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he was looking for you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: It was hilarious.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Pleased to be joined by a man who just also
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: we really did well in Texas. Then I heard Ted's
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: speech and he can come up and speak more of
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: you once or he can just you know, Ted's gonna
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: be going to a big event. And a little while,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: where's Ted Cruise?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Is he here?
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: He's here someplace?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Ted Dad?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Oh oh, oh, he's in trouble.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: He's in trouble.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: By the way, the cheering right there is. I'm walking
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: up behind him.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Oh oh good, he's not in trouble. Chief Texas, Texas. Amen.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: And I've got to say this election has given President
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump, a Republican Senate in a Republican House,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: a mandate to deliver on our promises. One month from today,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: President Trump will secure the border. We are going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: bring back jobs. We are going to lower prices. We
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: are going to protect American families. We're going to put
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: criminals in jail. We are going to keep our kids safe.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: We are going to end foreign wars with victory. And
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you, mister President, the results of this election.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Seven battleground states. You won all seven. The people elected
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: a Republican Senate in a Republican House to have your back,
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: and we are going to deliver results. And if I
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: can speak parochially for a minute, one of the most
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: consequential things that happened in this race in Texas. You
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: won profoundly in Texas, and both you and I won
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: a majority of Hispanic votes in the great state of Texas.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: That is unprecedented. That is generational change, and it demonstrates
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: that we are.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Going to protect our nation.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: We are going to bring our country back, and we
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: are going to make America great again.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: He's a great He's actually a great guy. Was was
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: really out there working.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm so glad he was here.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Huh. That one.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: That was an amazing moment.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I love just the end there
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: he's smiling, he's grinning.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: The demeanor and.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: The interaction is just seems to be very different this
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: time than it compared to twenty sixteen. It's like you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: guys are on the same football team going into the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: playoffs as a team and let's whoop some ass.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's exactly right. And I got to
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: say at the entire America Fest, Trump was happy, he
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was relaxed, he was feeling good. You could see it
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: in a way that just he was loose at having fun.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: And listen, we're coming in with an incredible mandate. We're
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: going to transform I believe the country, and I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: he's ready to get to work. And I know I am,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: and I think all of us are.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about his agenda for a second. One
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of the things you tell talked about was the border.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That seems to be a very central point of what
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: he keeps talking about over and over again, and and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is that something that you and him have talked about
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: very clearly, like, Hey, this is square, this is step one.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Let's go. We're going to knock this out day one.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. And the clearest single mandate of this election is
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: to secure the border. People are fed up with Joe
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Biden the Democrats' open borders. They want it to end.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: They want the border secured. And we're going to get
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: that done. And and Trump understands that. I think Republicans
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: and the Senate understand that. Republicans of the House understand that.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: And and we're going to get it done, which is
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: which is exactly what the voter sent us there to do.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I want to move to this other topic that's a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: big one, and that and that deals and we're going
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: to obviously get to your turning point speech in just
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and that'll be certainly a part of
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: this UH in a moment. But I want to turn
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to another unfortunate I say, prediction UH is about to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: come true, and the news continues to break. And I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think it's fair to say to the audience listening right now,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: brace yourself, because while you're spending time with your family
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and your friends. Over Christmas and New Year's Joe Biden
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and the White House are going to be handing out
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: some unbelievable pardons and clemency. And Biden is apparently granting
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: clemency to people the on federal death row yet again,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: saying we don't care about justice for the victims. We
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: are going to start pushing this political ideology.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right, and it is. You know, sadly,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: you could say, who could have predicted this? But the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: reality is you and I predicted this. We predicted this
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: over a year ago, that Joe Biden was going to
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: take federal death row and empty it and use his
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: executive power. Now, listen to the Constitution gives them the
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: power to grant pardons, gives them the power to grant clemency,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: and with pretty much no limits. It's essentially an unlimited power.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: That being said, we've never had a president use that
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: pardon power. We've already seen him use the pardon power
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: to give his son a get out of jail free
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: card for all of his illegal conduct. And we've talked
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: about how I believe he's going to grant many more
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: pardons to members of the Biden family, to Democrats, to
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: those who have engaged in illegality.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But while he's.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Engaged in this business, he's also going to seek I believe,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I think there's a very real risk he's going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: seek to nullify federal law. Federal law passed by Congress
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: signed by the President provides for the death penalty, the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: death penalty for the most egregious crimes. That includes the
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Boston bomber that murdered people at the Boston Marathon. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I think we are perilously close to Joe Biden emptying
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: federal death row. So Politico reported this week, quote President
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Joe Bliden. Biden is promising to flex his clemency powers
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: again before he leaves office next month, booing hopes of
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: capital punished opponents that he'll take a big step towards
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: making good on his campaign promise to end the federal
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: death penalty. Biden could use his authority to grant commutations
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: to convert existing federal death sentences into life in prison.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: That would deal a serious blow to Trump's plans to
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: bring back and even broaden the use of the death
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: penalty when he returns to power. The Justice Department has
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: quietly recommended that Biden grant commutations to most of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: forty people on death row, according to a person familiar
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: with the discussions not authorized to discuss them publicly. Meanwhile,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: the Justice Department is also on the verge of publishing
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: the findings of a long running internal review of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: lethal injection protocol that the Trump administration adopted in twenty nineteen.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: That protocol uses a fatal dose of a single sedative drug, pentobarbital,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: to put prisoners to death. Many experts and critics of
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: the death penal have said the method, adopted due to
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: shortages of other drugs used in executions, can cause extreme
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: pain during a prisoner's final minutes. An anti death penalty
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: activist say the DOJ's forthcoming report may bolster the case
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: for clemency.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Quote.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: We hope the review will find that the problems with
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: legal ethal injection are one additional reason as to why
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: President Biden should grant clemency to death row prisoners, said
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Ruth Friedman, whoever sees death penalty work for the federal
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: defenders nationwide. This is if he does this, it is
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: absolutely outrageous because, as I said, it is federal law.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: If he doesn't like federal law, propose a change to
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: federal law, propose taking the death penalty off the books,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: but he doesn't.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Have the votes to do that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Congress is not going to do that, and so he
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: simply wants to lawlessly say, give me the very worst murderers,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: give me the Boston Marathon bomber, and I'm going to
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: give them the gift of life. As I said, that's
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: exactly what we predicted over a year ago.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to play and just remind people exactly
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: what was said. And it's I hate it when these
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: predictions become reality because it's not good for the victims' families,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it's not good for law and order, it's not good
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: for justice. And yet this is exactly what we knew
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was going to happen because of the radicals within Joe
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Biden's administration and his viewpoint.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I'm going to make a prediction
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: as well, which is that these are not the only
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: mass murderers that I think this administration is going to
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: refuse to follow federal law and impose the death ben
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make a prediction right now, which is
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden before he leaves the White House will commute
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: the sentence of every federal prisoner on death row.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That he will do it for every one of them.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: And that includes It includes the white supremacist and Nazi
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: who murdered nine African Americans at the Mother Emmanuel Ame
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Church in Charleston, South Carolina in a horrific hate crime.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He's on federal death row.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It includes the Boston bomber who murdered innocent people by
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: exploding a bomb at the Boston Marathon. One of the
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: two brothers is still alive. He's on death row. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: my prediction right now is Joe Biden intends to spare
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: every one of these mass murderers, every one of them.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Many of them are racist, bigoted, homicidal lunatics, and I
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: think we're going to see him commute all of their
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: sentences before he leaves the White House.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, we said that a year ago, Senator, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: there was these these clear, you know moments where the
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: mastermind Cleetchek Muhammad of nine to eleven. They were like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, let's not put that out of death. Let's
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: let's do a deal and let's let him live. And
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: now we can see it. And you say, we're very close.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: It's becoming reality. What could stop this? What is there
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: anything that people listening could do right now to say
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: no to this?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, And the podcast you just played was from August
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty three, so it was more than a
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: year ago. It was last summer, and that was when
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: the news was reported that the Biden administration was cutting
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: a deal with Khalid Shaik Muhammad, the mastermind of nine
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: to eleven, to take the death penalty off the table,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: and that was about to happen. And we coverted this
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: on the podcast, and the news was ignoring it. CNN
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: was ignoring it. The networks we're ignoring it. We covered
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: it at length, and I got to say our listeners
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: were incredible. They lit up the phones, they began speaking out,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: they began tweeting about it, they began using their voice,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: and the political heat on the White House became so
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: intense that I believe this podcast played a major role
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: in ratcheting up the heat on the White House and
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: causing them to back away from granting clemency and taking
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: the death penalty off the table for shake Muhammad. Right now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: not only is Joe Biden considering sparing the life of
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the bomber at the Boston Marathon, also considering sparing the
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: life of the bigoted racist who murdered African Americans at
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: the Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina. And by
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: the way, he's also considering sparing the mass murder at
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in twenty eighteen.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: And all of these you have vicious racists who committed
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: mass murders, and yet the Democrat Party, they have embraced
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: the notion that capital punishment is always wrong, even in
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: the most egregious circumstances. And your question is, what can
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: listeners do speak out if you're outraged, if you don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: want these racist, bigoted psychos given clemency by the President
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: of the United States, let your voice be heard. We
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: turned it around with KSM. Let's turn it around with
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: this as well.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: It's also, I think a mindset that is starting to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: change in this country, and not in a good way.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: The LAFT is.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Continuing to cheer and turn murderers into hero yes, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: people that are just horrible human beings into I don't know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: it's like they're movie scripts for them. It's this reality
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: TV obsession where they're like, oh, we think because someone
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: is attractive that therefore we should spare their life and
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: because they went up against somebody we don't like, whether
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: it be trying to assassinate Donald Trump or killing the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: CEO of the Healthcare coming in New York City as
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: an assassin. But the assassin looks nice. And now we're
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: seeing it make its way into TV. I know you
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: saw this as I did on Saturday Night Live this weekend,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and it was disgusting as Saturday Night Live Live not
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: only talked about this murder, but they actually the audience
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: was cheering on the murder who killed the CEO.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was during the weekend Update on Saturday Night
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Live this weekend, and Colin Jos had a joke about
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: the murder, not mass murderer, but the murderer who shot
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: the healthcare CEO in cold blood and the reaction of
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the audience. This is a live audience in New York City.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I gotta say it. It took my breath away. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: he just mentions his name. I'm not going to mention
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: the murderer's name, but it is in this little excerpt,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: and I want you to hear the audience's reaction at
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: hearing the name of this cold blooded murder play the clip.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Luigi Mangione drop, yeah, yeah, definitely woo. You're willing it
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: for justice, right. Luigi Manzoni dropped his extradition fight and
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: was flown from Pennsylvania to New York to face multiple charges.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: In related news, Bumble exploded.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he was actually a little shocked
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: by the audience there that they were cheering like it
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: was a rock star.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Charles Manson woohoo.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Jeffrey Dahmer yay, Ted Bundy, woohoo, Like what the hell
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: is wrong with people in this New.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: York city where this is being taped.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: It he was shot not far from where this was taped.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: And listen, we've talked about this before. The leftists have
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: spread the ideology that oppressors being the subject of violence
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: is a good thing. Anyone defined as an oppressor. These
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: are the same idiots that are cheering hamas in Israel.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: These are the same idiots who believe that violent revolution.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: These are the same idiots that look the other way
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: at Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots for an entire
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: year because if it's a so called oppressor or so
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: called victim against a so called oppressor. Violence and murder
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: is okay. And I got to say watching that, listening
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: to that, that's horrifying because the screams of joy we
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: covered a week ago on this podcast, how Taylor Wrenz,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: the former reporter for the Washington Post, described that she
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: felt joy when the CEO was murdered. Well, you know
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: what you just heard, screams of joy. And that is
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: the poison that has been accepted sadly so far on
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: the left of our society.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is sad. And yet they again, they're
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: turning these people into heroes. And now we're going to
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: see this president give our clemency to people that have
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: taken others' lives. And you wonder where our moral compasses
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: in this country right now? It is being destroyed by
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the left. I want to talk to you real quick
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: about our friends over at USCCA. There is a reason
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: why they have over eight hundred thousand Americans that are
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: members of the USCCA, because not only do they help
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: you understand how to protect and defend yourself and to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: protect and defend your family at home, but they also
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: make sure that you're protected with our twisted legal system
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: if you ever have to use a firearm to defend yourself. Now, look,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I've had to use a firearm to save my own life.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I had to pull the trigger, and I wish I
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: would have known about USCCA and been a member. The
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: reason is because they are there fighting to keep our
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights alive and protect you. That's why there's
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: over eight hundred thousand Americans that are members of the USCCA.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Because not only will you get access to their Protector
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Academy where you learn vital skills like precision shooting and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: how to fortify your home against criminals, but you also
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: get access to the twenty four to seven Critical Response Team.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Why is that so important because that is the included
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: benefit of self defense liability insurance to make sure that
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: you and your family are prepared for anything. Unfortunately, there's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of activist das in this country right now
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: that do not like law abiding says in exercising their
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Second Amendment right. And that's why you need someone looking
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: out for your rights. For a limited time. If you
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: text the word America right now to eight seven two
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: two two, you're going to get the uscca's free life
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: saving concealed carry and Family Defense Guide and a chance
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to win seventeen hundred dollars to buy any self.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Defense gear that you need before it's too late.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: So text the word America right now for your chance
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to win seventeen hundred dollars to buy any self defense
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: gear you need to eight seven two two two right now.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That number again, text the word America to eight seven
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: two to two right now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Senator.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Finally, I want to get back to uh, the Turning
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Point event that you just left. Obviously, Donald Trump was there.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: You were asked to speak, and I want you to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: give us a quick preview before we play your speech,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: because this is one of the moose speeches that I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: think is really about setting the tone for what's coming
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: in January when you guys have control of the Senate
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and the House and the White House.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I started this morning speaking, and this is about
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: an hour before the exchange that you heard at the
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: beginning of the podcast with President Trump and me. I addressed,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: as I said, over three thousand young people activists at
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Turning Point. It was incredible, and I really wanted to
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: encourage them. I wanted to encourage them that they had
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: had a profound impact on this election on this country,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: and I also wanted to focus on now that we've won,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: we've got a job to do. And so what I
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: intempted to do in these remarks is lay out here
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: are the deliverables that we need to accomplish in the
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: next two years to have a clear vision for what
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: to expect. I'm really excited. I'm excited about President Trump
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: being reelected and coming back into office. I'm excited about
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: a Republican Senate and a Republican House. But I also
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: have in front of me the absolute seriousness we needed
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: to deliver on our promises. And so that's what I
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: had to say to Turning Point this morning.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Take a listen as we play this right now.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: God bless Turning Points. We are looking at America. We
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: are gathered here at truly a momentous time. If you
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: were young and passionate and it was seventeen seventy six,
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: you would have been part of transforming and creating the
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: United States of America. If you were young and passionate
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: in the year was nineteen eighty and the Reagan Revolution
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: was happening, you would have been part of transforming the
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: United States of America and today in twenty twenty four.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: You are young and passionate, and every one of you
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: is integral to transforming the United States of America. The
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Washington Swamp is terrified of you. Chuck Schumer and Nancy
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Pelosi and Kamala Harris are terrified of you. Joe Biden, well, no,
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: he's actually not terrified. He don't know where he is,
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: but he is wondering what time the People's Court is
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: on TV. If you look at what happened in November,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: the results of the election were clear and unequivocal. Seven
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: battleground states across America, we won all seven. And I've
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: got to say Donald J. Trump is truly an extraordinary leader.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Has there ever been anyone in American history who, after
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: being shot in the head, stands up and respond, fight,
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: fight fight. The American people have given us the White House,
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: They've given us the House, they've given us the Senate.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Now it's time for us to deliver.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: We have work to do to deliver on our promises.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: So a year from now, two years from now, four
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: years from now, the American people can say they did
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: exactly what they said they would do. Number One, Starting
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: on January twentieth, we will secure the border. Catch and
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: release ends on January twentieth. If you are an illegal alien,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: if you're a murderer, if you're a rapist, if you're
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: a child molester, if you're a Venezuelan gang member, pack
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: your bags because you're getting the hell out. And I'm
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: here to tell you that's not gonna take a year.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: It's not gonna take six months. We are going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: see the numbers of illegal immigration plummet, and they are
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: going to plummet in January and February of this year.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Number two, we are going to unleash American energy. America
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: is the world's energy superpower, the number one producer of
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: oil in the world, the number one producer of natural
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: gas in the world, and America will be energy dominant.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: If you're fed up with high prices, high prices at
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: the gas pump, high prices at the grocery store, high
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: prices when you pay your bills. Energy feeds into every
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: one of them. The American people in this election said
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: enough is enough is enough, and we are going to
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: lower energy costs and make life more affordable for everyone.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Number three, we are gonna unleash small business. The regulators
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: descending from Washington. We are going to repeal the rules
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: they're using to kill small businesses. And I'll tell you what.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: We are also going to unleash crypto. I'm proud to
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: stand with crypto. I'm proud to stand with bitcoin, and
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: I am the only member of the United States Senate
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: who is in fact a bitcoin minor. I've got three
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: miners hashing in West Texas right now, and it is beautiful.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: And let me say to all of crypto at all
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: of bitcoin, come to Texas. Texas is the oasis for bitcoin.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Number four, we will restore integrity to the Department of
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Justice and the FBI. If you are a wild eyed
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: partisan who has abused your power and targeted your political
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: enemies at DOJ or the FBI, will pack your bags
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: because your job is done.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And that means Number five.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: We will enforce the law, especially against universities across this country.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: The anti Semitic protests we've seen at universities.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Will end next year.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: If if you violently protest, if you threaten your fellow students,
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: you will be arrested, you will be expelled, and if
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: you're a foreigner, you will be deported. And we're going
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: to see the Department of Justice and the FBI follow
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: the money, go after the money, cut off the money.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: We're going to see universities that tolerate anti Semitism having
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: their federal funds cut off. And when your fellow students
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: look around and say, hey, why didn't this happen before,
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Why did everyone look the other way at the violence
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: and the threats and the hatred and the bigotry, You're
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: going to be in a position to tell them. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: we will end the wars with victory. The war in
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Ukraine will end this next year, and Vladimir Putin will lose,
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: and the war in Israel will come to an end,
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: and Hamas will lose, Hezbalah will lose, Iran will lose.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Every one of you stand up and speak, and I
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: want to encourage you inform your friends. When I ask you,
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: pull out your cell phone. Pull out your cell phone
