here?
Again, I'm a man of evidence, however, I'm not a man of stupidity either.
What the hell is going on here?
Is there going to be any version of this event that the Secret Service puts out in public that is going to be backed up by actual evidence? at this point? I'll show you what I mean. I'll play you Director Roe's testimony and you'll see how what they would have seen at the site if they were looking around does not marry up with that at all.

All right, fellas, let's go. First, just this Fox story fast happened this morning, broke right before we came on the.
air.
Again, a fully dispositive period. full stop statement.
I'm very glad we got some of our people home.
The reporter Grzegorzowicz and Paul Whelan, good.
I do not want American citizens imprisoned by tyrannical regimes overseas.
However, the trade and the timing of the trade and who was given up for the trade matters. OK, it matters because it's a real story with real geopolitical implications. And it also incentivizes Russia to take future hostages if they're going to get asymmetrical deals. And the question I'm asking, which is a fair question we should all be asking, is why does Vladimir Putin seem so eager to help Joe Biden all the time? I'm glad our people are home. Everyone in the chat, correct? If it was my kid, I'd want to do anything. If it was my father, I'd want to do anything. But why was Vladimir Putin quiet about the Hunter Biden laptop? Why was Vladimir Putin quiet when he was falsely accused of colluding with Trump to steal an election?
Why is he all of a sudden so eager to get a deal done in this hostage trade in an election season when these guys have been prisoners for a really long time? Folks, I'm sorry, but this stuff matters. The Biden administration has a history of malfeasance, foreign influence, peddling and other things. Are you as curious as I am about this?
Show that Fox News story again. Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Griskovich, who again, I'm glad he's home, being released by Russia in a prisoner swap. Paul Whelan, also free. He's been in prison for a long time. That's good. But, ladies and gentlemen, the details matter.
As I get the details, again, I'm a man of evidence. When I speculate, I'll tell you. And I'm also a man of evidence in this Secret Service case.
And, ladies and gentlemen, this thing is just getting, I mean, this is beyond ugly at this point.
You know, I came in this morning.
Evita had another banger of a show. Thank you all for tuning in to Early Edition with Evita.
And we're looking at each other like neither one of us are what you'd call what the left.
uses as a sort of conspiracy theorist. OK, none of us.
We, we talk. Yeah. We fat. Let the facts guide you. It's OK to speculate, folks. I think we can all say right. The chap, when you agree, I have been really hesitant to get ahead of this story because I'm not going to ruin my credibility. I'm not. I would rather lose 10 listeners who want me to make a light year leap and gain a hundred who want the truth. That's a trade I'll make every day. But I'm not idiot either. What the hell is going on here? I'm going to do this in reverse a little bit. I should probably play the video first, but I'm not going to play the video. Let me tee it up for you. That Fox News got a hold of is from one of the victims who was shot by Crooks, the assassin and the Trump assassination plot. One of the victims. So there's no one with more credibility on this than this guy. It's a cell phone video and you can clearly see a figure running on the roof, setting up, and it appears to be the shooter. I don't know who else it would be.
Now here's the weird thing. Just a few days ago, the acting director who, my gosh, I have warned you about. I can't warn you about any stronger terms. This guy will fix nothing. He is a cover up artist. Just a few days ago, he gave an answer to Senator Gary Peters in the hearing. And I want you to listen to this. This is before that video surface where you can now see the guy clear his day. And I want you to listen for a couple of things. First, he acknowledges there was at least a 30 second window where they knew something was on the roof. There was more than that, but we had a minimum of 30 seconds. That's a long time to evacuate the president. He acknowledges that, quote, they had radios on the tactical net.
They had. So someone heard something.
Then he says, this is the critical part, I want you to listen for everyone here in the show.
Listen, I want you to do this.
The secret service director says we knew they were working an issue at the three o'clock. Ladies and gentlemen, if the three o'clock is off the stage. And why was no one looking there as the guy was moving on the roof?
Listen to this testimony. Tell me, I'm crazy. Check this out.
Local law enforcement and Butler told my staff that that they had no way of communicating directly with the secret service. And if I listen to Mr. Bates saying there was about a 30 seconds between when the local law enforcement reported that there was a man on the roof with a gun, 30 seconds. If it's communicated directly to a counter sniper team, would that be enough time to react prior to the firing of those shots?
Senator, if we'd had that information, they would have been able to address it more quickly. It appears that that information was stuck or siloed in that state and local channel. I will tell you, though, that there were. our tactical elements did have. not only did they have embeds from Butler County issue with them, but they also had radios on the tactical net. It is troubling to me that we did not get that information as quickly as we should have. We didn't know that there was this incident going on. And the only thing we had was that locals were working an issue at the three o'clock, which would have been the former president's right hand side, which is where the shot came. Nothing about man on the roof, nothing about man with a gun. None of that information ever made it over our net.
So that will change.
Yes, sir. We are working right now to figure out the interoperability and also make sure that we do have access to those channels, whether through a counterpart system or some other means.
So Herman in the chat says Roe is lying.
Certainly seems that way.
Folks, can you explain to me, again, I'll play the video in a second, but it's important. we dissect this first, because he just told two directly, directly conflicting stories under oath in the same. What is that? A minute and twenty two second clip or something. It's he told two completely different stories. Let me quote. We had radios on the tactical net.
With embeds. embeds, meaning our guys were embedded with the locals and locals were embedded with us. That's what embeds are. We were embedded with them. So I don't understand. We didn't get the info. But then he says we had radios on the tactical net and then he said the information was siloed. But he said we knew they were working an issue with the three o'clock. Which freaking story is true, bro?
Did you have embeds? who had radios on the tactical net or not? You said you didn't get the info and then you just said they were working an issue with the three o'clock. Folks, the clock system with the Secret Service is very simple. You look off. the stage is the twelve. behind the stage is the six. You got the nine and the three. It's not really difficult to figure out if they knew they were, quote, I'm just quoting Ron Rowe, folks. I'm not making this up. If they knew they were working an issue with the three o'clock, why did nobody look to?
the three o'clock?
You just heard it. Look at the three o'clock. Then he says that they knew they were working an issue with the three o'clock, but they knew nothing about a man on the roof.
He was at the three o'clock.
Just look.
I want to play the video, that I want to do a deep dive on how many people either should have seen him, didn't see him, were there or, shamefully, weren't there. And how, folks, again, was it? I really I ask you just to be guided by facts and evidence.
The problem is, nobody trusts these people anymore with the facts or evidence. Nobody.
Nothing they're saying is true.
After this video emerged, you should all be asking questions. You want to feel this. You think it's better game?
OK, feel it. voiceover it. OK.
Here's President Trump. Look at the figure on the roof, folks. Just keep playing it. Let it loop.
Now you see him reappear again. Now, if you're watching, remember, the 12 o'clock is off the off the nose of the stage.
Is the guy sitting up there like one of those gas station blow up things, waving? No. Folks, Roe just acknowledged, though, that the locals had already said on the tactical net, where they had in beds, that they were, quote, working an issue with the three o'clock. If you're looking at the three o'clock, how the hell do you miss that? This is a cell phone camera. He was that he went to school for film stuff. This is not a zoom high telephoto freaking lens used to film a Marvel movie. It's a cell phone. You can see the guy clear as day. How did they miss this?
I don't know, brother. I don't know. He said or did that.
Folks, this video is stunning.
It's just that. just keep that still right there. How do you miss that, folks? This is a cell phone camera. It's not even focused. And you can still see a figure moving on the roof. This is this is completely disregarding the fact that 90 minutes in advance, someone had been notified within the tactical elements on the, on the do text, and otherwise that there was a shadowy figure making furtive movements at the site. 90 minutes. What what. I don't understand that. I say this to people who have reached out to me and you know who you are, who are still defending this, what is left to defend? You were told 90 minutes out. You were told 60 minutes out. You were told by text. You were told by radios on the tactical net. You were told probably by email. I would guess the security room failed.
The P.I. team failed.
The CSU team failed. The post standards failed. The shift failed. The DL failed. The locals. Nobody stopped. I don't understand.
You're expecting people to believe the implausible because they can't believe the alternative, that that this much incompetence was displayed on the same day.
I mean, look, you've got CS teams that are watching this. This is a, that's not. the team actually took him out, but that was a team. But they're right in front of the other team.
If a cell phone could be sure enough, a high powered scope, I mean, I don't know what those are, EOTech or whatever. I mean, how do you miss this?
Like, don't spotters have this stuff? I mean, isn't that what's on the roof there?
Folks, how did we miss this? Let me go through piece by piece here. How many people had to miss what was happening, despite, again, the director acknowledging that we knew they were working an issue at the three o'clock? Look at three o'clock.
At every site, there's a P.I. team, folks.
I've said this before.
A protective intelligence team. Their only job is to go investigate threats. What the hell were they doing for 90 minutes? What were they doing?
Was there a CSU team there, a counter surveillance team? Their entire job is to go and act in an undercover manner and detect threats. Were they even there? If not, why? Who denied the asset? If they were there, how did they miss this? Folks, you had three poststanders from the Secret Service and, I believe, 20 to 22 HSI poststanders.
How did they miss this?
You had the shift, the body, men around President Trump. They're sitting there. There's usually a right and a left poststander at 12 o'clock, right off the nose of the stage. You've seen them on both sides of the press standing there like this with the glasses. How did they not see this? You had the DL and a shift supervisor there, the detail leader and a shift supervisor. Did anybody know this guy was on the roof?
Folks, I'm sorry. This is just beyond the pale at this point.
And then he says at the end, Ron Rowe, that they knew nothing about a man on the roof. You knew they were working an issue at three o'clock. It's up to you to say, you mean the guy on the roof?
Folks, these are the questions you should be asking.
That again, journalists, Susan Crabtree is doing a good job and Sean Davis and others and Molly Hemingway.
There are very few others asking the right questions. I'm giving you the questions. Get your pens out. What was the protective intelligence secret service team doing? Were they there? If not, that's an even worse problem. Why didn't you have a P.I. team? If you did, what the hell were they doing? Where was the counter surveillance team? How did the poststanders miss this? How did the shift miss it?
This is just unforgivable. And I would not be surprised if texts were being deleted right now.
They've got a history of doing this. And Roe was there when it happened, the January 6th text. And folks, the bad news just keeps on coming. I'm telling you, you think the secret service problems are over?
They have just begun.
It's a story that came out yesterday. It didn't make a lot of waves. It's a Jackie Heinrich tweet from Fox.
I'm going to get to in a minute.
But for you think President Trump's in a bad security situation. now? Wait till you see what happens, what's coming up, because nobody's reading deeper into this.
They're only seeing the surface stuff.
I'm here for the dig.
I'll get you six feet deep on these stories, all right? Quick break. We'll get back to what I'm talking about. Hey, a lot of Americans are tired and frustrated by the stalling economy, inflation, endless wars and the relentless assault on their values.

I really appreciate it. I know they do too. Getting back to the show. Folks, the mistakes right now are not explainable as simple mistakes.
They're only explainable as a series of options. Number one, negligence so profound that it's borderline criminal.
Second, malfeasance. Third, a combination of malfeasance and negligence, potentially criminal, depending on who you.
look at, if you get what I mean.
There's no explaining this anymore, and nothing they say is ever true. Every story they've told has turned out to be inaccurate, so far, at least. the major details. Here's what I was talking about. Jackie Heinrich at Fox put this tweet out, and people are missing the bigger story.
Fox News has learned the Biden administration is gaming out possible foreign travel for Biden's final months in office with an eye to his biggest foreign policy issues. You can read the rest of the tweet, but she talks about him traveling around the world, Africa, Middle East, elsewhere, doing all this stuff.
Now, this got almost no attention and it won't today, given the prisoner swap. The news cycle is just, I mean, you want to talk about drinking from a fire hose?
This is the easiest time and easiest workload I have ever had under stressful conditions.
because you can put the show together in five minutes, because there's just so much news. Why is this a big deal?
This is really bad news for the Secret Service.
I will say in advance that what Biden's doing in his last term in office, his last few months in office, is not unusual. For, as much as I'd like to say, Biden's doing something no one's ever done, because he's an awful, terrible guy, which he is, by the way, period. Every president, go, look at their travel schedule. Bush, Clinton, Obama. What they do in their last few months of office is they take a couple of foreign trips. You want to know why they're really doing it? This has nothing to do with their legacy or any of that bullshit. You know what's really going on? I was there. Don't tell me otherwise. I talked to staffers and everything. They want free trips around the world so they can get a bunch of pictures their grandkids will see later on of them in Red Square or them at the lost city of Petra. That's what they're doing it for.
Trust me.
I've been there. Yeah, they'll pretend it's about foreign policy stuff. Why an 81-year-old guy with a cognitive disorder wants to fly overseas in the last month of office? It has nothing to do with foreign policy stuff.
They could come here.
They just want to go touring the world on the taxpayer dime, on Air Force One, on a VIP trip. I promise you their families are going to be with them. Watch. You'll remember it now.
You'll see the pictures.
They all do it. Republicans, Democrats. It's not just a Biden thing. This is a taxpayer-funded big vacation, so they can get pictures for the history books. They all do it. So what's the point? Folks, you think the Secret Service is F'd. now? For the first time in modern American history, in a presidential election, they have a situation where a former president is running again against a president who then said he's not going to run, whose vice president's going to run, who's then got to pick another vice presidential nominee, while the former president has a different nominee than his vice president last time. Try to follow for a second. They have five fully staffed protection details.
Trump, Vance, Biden, Kamala, Kamala's VP, whoever it is, Walsh, Shapiro, doesn't matter. Five people are leaving. Morale is garbage. The good agents who didn't screw this trip up are embarrassed and humiliated. You've got a director nobody likes who's sitting up there BS-ing Congress. Now you've got Joe Biden going overseas, taking a bunch of taxpayer-funded vacations over a 90-day period that are going to suck up enormous amounts of poststanders. Those are Secret Service agents in the field office that fly overseas to support the mission. Let me give you a little hint. Those are poststanders that can't be used for President Trump. now. What are you going to do? Hire more people in 90 days? The hiring process is a year long. Forget about the training, which is a year long, too. You're two years away, at minimum, from any serious help at this point.
Biden going on a world tour right now? I'm asking him as a courtesy. Listen, I'm telling you all presidents do it. Please don't do this. The Secret Service is in a perilously bad situation right now. They don't want to say anything publicly. But this is going to, you think. the manpower is, they are at a 9,000 RPM red line with an engine ready to explode right now. And they have no battle plan to fix this thing other than to kick the can down the road, because it's been mismanaged for 20 years.
Make changes now. There's no time left. I've been talking to a bunch of elected officials. It is time right now to get legislation for the president to sign, to pull investigations out of the Secret Service and let the agents focus only on protection and protective intelligence.
investigations.
They don't have to leave the field office. They don't.
That's fine.
There are threat cases all over the country. Can't have a guy fly to L.A. because someone threatened the president. He'll be gone by then.
Please.
It is, your seconds matter.
If you pull them out of investigations, they'll have the bodies to support this mission. If you don't, I'm going to tell you what the whistleblower. in the counter surveillance, counter sniper section, the technician said. Someone else going to get killed or hurt.
All right. I got a lot more to get to, you know, I'll probably take a break now. Trump yesterday.
Folks, you know, again, with Trump, there were so many people who just cannot figure.
this guy out. It's stunning.
They want to pick up these soundbites and act like they're. look at this. They're damning. It's going to be the end of Trump. If I had a freaking cookie for every time someone told me it was the end of Donald Trump because of a soundbite after an appearance yesterday and a couple of things that happened, I'd be three hundred and fifty pounds of lard. Sure. Yes. He said it right.
Good.
Good luck. He said, surely this time it's definitely over. We've got him now. I've heard it a thousand times. Ladies and gentlemen, you don't understand. Trump says what everybody's thinking. He doesn't do. focus group tested stuff. And the only people who believe it's a negative are people who've been listening to focus groups and losing for the last 20, 30 years. I'm not telling you we can't say things better. Everybody can. I'm just telling you, if you think this is the end, you don't know Trump. I promise.
Quick break. I'll show you what I mean.
A student loan forgiveness handouts free everything.
Right. Seems like everyone's getting a free pass, except you working for a living. You've been an honest taxpaying citizen for like ever.

Folks, you got to understand Donald Trump. Again, it's not mandatory in a constitutional republic that you like any candidate.
It is your big R, God-given right to speak up, to speak out, to assemble, to petition. That is your right. It's your right to vote for who you like. We have a secret ballot, okay?
However, it's also your right to be stupid. If you choose voluntarily to not understand Trump, as either a swampy Republican or a Democrat, you're going to continue to get your ass kicked by him.
I'm not trying to give our enemies a tactical advantage.
I'm just telling you, so you don't get upset that, again, all the fake drama around J.D. Vance and Donald Trump is fake. It's astroturf. It's not real, okay? You know me. I've been honest about the election. I don't get into red wave talk. I don't think it's going to be a landslide. I think we got a good shot. But I'm telling you what the left is telling you now. We got Trump this time. We got Trump this time. They don't have him.
Trump yesterday went and sat down with the National Association of Black Journalists in about a 45-minute interview that blew up.
The gaslighting started immediately. Here's Sophie Kai on Twitter.
I guess a Trump hater. I don't really know.
Trump agreed to sit for an hour-long interview. His team cut it off at 34 minutes.
An indication of how much of a train wreck it was for him and how good the questioning was. Really? That's interesting because everybody at the site knew, because Trump tweeted out in advance or put out on True Social,
that he didn't cut it short. He'd been waiting for over a half an hour. The equipment at the National Association of Black Journalists wasn't working properly. Don't blame me for being late. So, again, what do I always tell you about the left-wingers?
Do you remember? How do we know a story is damaging to them and not to us?
Do you guys know in the chat?
Always watch the left-wing response.
When they're losing their minds over something, it means we won and they lost. So if this is what happened yesterday, and I'll get to the sound clips in a second, was such a big success for the lefties,
then why is Elie Mistel, the lunatic who does some MSNBC commentary, a liberal communist,
why is he freaking out?
Well, National Association of Black Journalists leadership,
here's the attention you requested.
Hope it was worth debasing all of us for you to get it.
Congratulations on your success. I'm going to ask you again, if what the media is telling you,
Trump, he embarrassed himself, he's done, he's finished,
horrible appearance is so true, then why is Elie Mistel so upset about it and why is Sophie Kai lying about it?
Don't get suckered into these vortexes of misinformation. Follow your buddy, Dan, and I'll tell you when we're in trouble. What happened yesterday puts Trump in absolutely no danger whatsoever. This is the comment that went nuclear.
Here's Donald Trump talking about Kamala Harris. I want you to remember something.
Before I even play this, folks in the chat,
what are the most destructive political narratives in politics?
Thank you. Narratives that change your pre-existing notion of who a candidate is. Kamala Harris is running as this, you know, straight-laced prosecutor now,
because she knows it's the only thing that can save her.
from her terrible liberal image on the border. She's running as a straight-edge prosecutor who put the bad guys in jail.
You don't have to, don't take my word for it. Go look at her campaign ads.
A lot of suckers are going to believe this.
What is really destructive to that narrative?
That not only is she not a straight edge, she is a liar and a fraud, and she will say anything to anyone. She's not only not being straight with people, she's a flip-flopper. People are getting lost in the racial component of this. Don't. Trump's making a different point. The race hustlers want to make it a racial issue.
Listen to this. You'll see what I mean.
I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly, very much. And she was always of Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. And now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? She is always identified as a black.
I respect either one.
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't, because she was Indian all the way. And then, all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a black person.
Just to be clear, sir, do you believe?
I think somebody should look into that too. When you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty town.
You are entirely missing the point again. And if you think I'm one of these people that reflexively defend stuff, so we lose an election and I'm going to hide a damaging incident.
You are listening to the wrong show. I have said to you repeatedly when I think things hurt and sting a little bit.
You are reading this thing all wrong again, and I'm sure I'll be proven right. Trump is not making a racial point. He's using Kamala Harris' take on her own race to make a different point. That again, liberals continue to miss. The same liberals who keep getting their asses kicked by Trump and wondering why.
You all right, Justin? You look like you have something to say for the show.
Okay, Justin, look at you. He's just walking on the set here.
Like he's got something to say for the show.
He thinks it's like a handoff, like Walter Payne taking a handoff for the game. He's making the point that Kamala Harris will say anything to anyone to get a vote. Could he have said it differently? Of course. Is everything come out like Shakespearean prose? No. But the same people out there get what he's saying. No one believes Trump's a racist. No, you could keep saying it.
Nobody believes it.
It's not real. It's fake. He's making the point that Kamala Harris will say anything to anyone. I'm not going to play the stuff. Kamala Harris saying she's Indian or black. I don't care what. she doesn't matter to me. The point is Kamala Harris has a documented history of saying anything to anyone. to get elected. Defund the police.
Don't defund the police.
I hate fracking.
We love fracking.
We love union workers. Well, government jobs, not so much. She'll say anything. That was the point. And Trump, as always, is completely, 100% misjudged and underestimated by his opponents.
Jeremy Carl here, by the way, I don't really know, but he makes a great point here on X as well.
Trump goes out and talks to hostile audiences. He'll talk to anyone, anywhere. He doesn't need a focus group. He doesn't need cue cards. He'll talk to anyone. And people respect it. I'm not saying any politician can get away with what Trump does. They couldn't. I'm telling you right now. Don't try to replicate his strategy, because it's not going to work. But you think Kamala Harris, do you really believe this? You know, it's preposterous to even think of. But can you imagine Kamala Harris subjecting herself to an extended interview from conservative journalists in a way like that, that Trump is doing to these liberal black journalists?
I'm going to put an offer out there.
Folks from the Bongito Army, I need a favor. Go on X. Tag the Kamala Harris account.
Cut this clip if you have to.
I am promising her, on my honor, a fair interview. I will not interrupt her.
I'll even give them the questions in advance. I'll give them 10.. They can pick five. How about that?
Kamala Harris is willing to come on my radio show and do just an 18 minute interview or so.
I will. I will let them pick. I'll post 10 questions.
They can pick five.
I guarantee you she won't do it.
Trump does little time. Trump goes anywhere.
Urban Radio, Country Radio, National Association of Black Journalists, South Bronx. Where's Kamala Harris gone?
She won't do it.
So let me say Trump's the bad guy because he talks to people who would be his natural ideological opposition, a group of journalists, black or otherwise, who don't like him. And what? He's the one to be pillory because he said the truth. Kamala Harris has said multiple times. Different things to different people, depending on where she thinks she can get power from.
Of course, this thing was a big W. Anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit. That's why Ellie Mistel's flipping out. Here was Trump yesterday. Here's how the thing opens up. The lady goes after him right away. Question number one, after delaying the guy for a half an hour and then blaming him for their delays, which, by the way, no one even knows if that was intentional or not. yet. I don't trust journalists at all. Here's Donald Trump, just absolutely wrecking these journalists. Check this out.
I won the case and it got very little publicity. I didn't notice ABC doing any publicity on it.
George, I'd love to move over.
I didn't notice you do any publicity on it at all. I won the case, the biggest case. This was. this is an attack on a political opponent. I have another one where I have a hostile judge.
We have you for a limited time, sir. I'd love to move on to different issues.
You're the one that held me up for 35 minutes.
You understand how this stuff. the American people generally hate journalists because.
they're liars.
Just go out and look at any public survey on what even Democrats think. There's a substantial swath of Democrats that don't like journalists. They see Trump as the hero in this. It's amazing how many people think this was a net negative for him yesterday. They don't understand at all how he came out of this with a triple W. Here's one more clip, and I want to get to something else.
And our best asset right now is Kamala, who's a total fake and a phony.
He absolutely crushes this race, baiting journalist, trying to again falsely defame this guy as a racist. She has no evidence of that at all. Donald Trump has shown nothing but a history of being kind to people of all racial and ethnic groups. They're just making this up. No one ever said this in the past when he wasn't a Republican. They made it up. And no, he doesn't have to take it. This is exactly how you deal with these buffoons.
Watch this.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are, quote, stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So, my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
The President. Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so — in such a horrible manner, the first question. You don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country.
The President. That is exactly how you deal with these people. Folks, the woman was not asking a question. So Donald Trump has no obligation whatsoever to answer her. non-question. If she is going to make a political statement, then Donald Trump has every single moral and ethical right to respond with a statement of his own. That was not a question. It had a question mark at the end, but it was a declarative statement. I think you're a racist, and here's why. None of that's any evidence whatsoever of him being a racist. Again, people make mistakes and do things. I'm sure he would. She could take a lot of stuff back. There is zero evidence whatsoever. Any of those false, defamatory statements she made are actually a basis for a racism charge. She's just making it up. Nobody, nobody paddles right back pickleball style than Donald Trump. And, folks, listen to me. Our best asset right now is Kamala. You think that comment yesterday about race and everything is going to damage Trump? I'm telling you, you're reading this all wrong. You can say all you want. Racist, right? You've said it so many times. No one's listening. That's not the point he was making. He was making the point that this woman is a total phony.
She goes in front of liberal groups, and she's a straight-up communist. She goes in front of middle-class union workers, and she pretends to be a moderate Democrat. Does she not realize that X and Rumble and YouTube and Truth and Facebook, these clips, live on forever? She just said this stuff, ladies and gentlemen, a few years ago, not in the halcyon days of 1964.. Here she was just a few years ago in this short clip, because she's such an environmental lunatic, one of these Green New Deal cow-farting people. Here she is implying that young people shouldn't have children. This is how crazy this woman is. She's our best asset.
Her.
Watch.
I've heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined called climate anxiety.
Period.
Right? Which is fear of the future and the unknown, of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children,
whether it makes—.
Are you justifying the end of the human race over faux climate anxiety and fake, fake apocalyptic predictions about the end of the earth that your left-wing lunatic friends have told you? You know, there's an amazing piece.
I got to pull this for tomorrow. It's in the Wall Street Journal today. I think it's by Beyond Lumber. It's in their opinion section. Forgive me. I should have brought it up on the show.
The piece is about every single environmental prediction that's been made in the last few years about the apocalypse, how 100% fake it is. Instead of Kamala Harris saying, listen, we have a responsibility,
a God-given responsibility to take care of the home he gave us.
And we do.
Folks, I'm very concerned about things like plastics in the ocean,
contaminants in our soil. Very concerned. I live here. So do my kids. You challenge me on that. all you want, I'm going to call you full of shit, because you are. And I'm going to, I'll bury it right back in your face.
My home matters to me too. I live here. The water quality in Florida matters to me a lot. I live near it. No one wants nasty brown water in front of their house.
Republicans are environmentalists too, which is not crazy. The human race comes first.
This article in the journal is incredible. You've been told the polar bears are dying. There's actually a record number of polar bears. You've been told the Tuvalu islands are sinking. They're getting bigger. Nothing they're telling you is true. And now she gives credence to the idea that we should wipe out the human race and not have kids because of your crazy lunatic predictions. that are all fake, by the way.
It's all bullshit.
Here's AP, of course, covering for me.
A bunch of communists in the Associated Press. Kamala Harris is calibrating her policy pitch for going to battle with Trump.
Notice when Trump or JD Vance changes their position on some, because politicians do it. It's not just Democrats. People change. People mature. People take in new inputs and produce new outputs. Everyone does it. The difference with Kamala Harris is not that she's changed her position. In contrast to, say, JD or Trump. The difference with Kamala Harris is she changes every position. Nothing she says is sincere.
So to AP, you'll call a Republican a flip-flopper.
But to Kamala Harris, she's just calibrating. Folks, the interference in this election.
It's a headline, right?
You think I'm making it up? Kamala Harris calibrating her policy pitch. The election interference is in high, high speed right now. It is in sixth gear in a, what is it? Z06 Corvette.
And good for JD Vance, who's now on the ground running. I think they got bombarded with a lot of liberal media BS.
It happens.
He plowed through it. The Trump team is happy with him. I'm happy with JD Vance. He was on my radio show yesterday. I wanted to play this, though, first. This is the message we need. This is clear. It's the script. You've got Kamala Harris, the open border borders are on one hand, now faking it as some kind of prosecutor. And you've got JD and Donald Trump with a message like this on illegal immigration. Clear, to script, to the point. Listen.
To all illegal aliens, President Trump and I have a different message.
If you are here against the laws of this country, pack your bags because you're going home in six months.
Let Kamala Harris flip flop.
Dive, duck, jump on both sides of every issue line. Let her do that, while our message is clear as day. To JD Vance and Donald Trump. Yes, please keep this up. Do not stop. Your taxes, I want them lower. Social Security, you shouldn't pay taxes on it. Why should you pay taxes on Social Security? You already paid taxes on Social Security. How do you think you got Social Security?
You know what? A lot of people don't like the no tax on tips. Anytime. there's no tax for anyone, I like it. Keep the message clear. Let these other two bounce all over the place.
I had JD Vance on my radio show yesterday. I'll play the full interview on the weekend Sunday show on the Rumble channel here, if you want to listen to it. It was good. Folks, I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to share something with you here.
I had a moment on the air with JD yesterday. I'm an emotional guy. I don't pretend not to be. I'm kind of a big voice with stuff like that. Don't let my 6 foot 200 pound frame fool you. I'm like a big teddy bear. I am.
Don't let the foul language distract you either. I really do care about people and I care about you. To all the people out there struggling with substance abuse, I haven't really discussed this publicly, but I went through this for years with my mom.
I never said who, but a lot of you put two and two together.
It's the most painful thing. I tell everyone who's got an issue with substance abuse, whether it's alcohol or drugs or pills or whatever it is, you'll always have a home here. I know there's a good person in there. I understand that. These chemicals, they do things to you, man. They poison that person. They just, God gave you this soul and they just dissolve little pieces of it and chunks of it day by day and there's almost nothing left, but there's always going to be something there to pull out. But I watched JD's movie based on his book, Hillbilly Elegy, about his life story. And his mom has been sober and clean for 10 years, Mom Bev. Thank the Lord for that.
My mother died before I had that moment, not long ago. And the movie was hard for me to watch.
And for all of you out there, not you in my listening audience, but for you, establishment, fake, swampy Republicans, especially the woman out there who is behind the attacks on JD Vance, and you know who you are, by the way, and I do too.
You're really horrible people.
This is a guy who's been through a lot. I want you to listen to his answer when I address this drug crisis and how much it means to him. having a mother who had a substance abuse problem most of her adult life and almost died. This is the real JD Vance. Don't buy into the liberal bullshit. This is the real JD Vance. Listen to this answer. This isn't some focus group bullshit. Check this out. We have a fentanyl crisis at our southern border right now. Kids are being killed. They're being murdered by this poison. That's got to feel a lot different to a guy like you that stared. addiction and the soul death, the slow killing of a person's soul from it. That's got to mean something different to you.
Yeah, it does, Dan. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, man. I had no idea what happened. And I'm, you know, it's just, it's terrible. When it happens way too much in this country. And if I can put a personal, you know, spin on this, I mean, you're right to things worked out for my mom. And, you know, in some ways you have this, this almost guilty feeling over it, because when it works out for your family and it doesn't work out for somebody else's, you just, you wonder, you know, why do we get lucky? And why did others not? And the thing that I try to remind myself is the fentanyl deprives people of second chances to overcome the addiction once and for all, and be good moms and dads to their kids. And the way we should think about this fentanyl is it's depriving American families of second chances. When you've got fentanyl in your streets, instead of some of the stuff that existed 15 years ago, sometimes those people are never gonna get a chance to get back on the horse. And we have to think about the orphaned children and the grandchildren and the grandparents who are taking care of those grandchildren, whose lives have been destroyed because Kamala Harris won't do her job and keep this country safe. And I just, I get so frustrated at it, man, because yeah, it did work out for my family, but it hasn't worked out for hundreds of thousands of American families over the last few years. And that's something we've got to change.
Folks, that sound like you got that answer from a focus group.
That's a real man there. It's a man who understands what poverty's like. It's a man who understands what pain and suffering is like. That's a man who's looked into the eyes of people he loves and watch him just disintegrate and try to rescue them, and he knows that pain.
You're not obligated to vote for anyone. You're not obligated to believe everything they believe, at all, but you're morally obligated to at least give this guy a shot and hear him out. He's a good man. We don't agree on everything, we don't. If you give me a good guy, I agree with 80% of the time over a shithead that I can't trust 100% of the time.
It's powerful stuff. All right, I wanted to play this for you too, folks. I want to wrap up the show where I began. This Secret Service scandal is only going to continue to metastasize. Nobody, nobody, folks in the chat, does anybody, anybody, trust the government to manage this investigation into the murder of Corey Comparatore and the shooting of three others, including Donald Trump? Nobody trusts you.
And folks, here's one of the reasons why.
Did you see this clip by Merrick Garland?
This guy, again, they say things on television.
He's talking to Ken Delanian, which is hilarious. Fusion Ken Delanian, deep state fake journalist. He's talking about the dismissal of the special counsel in the Jack Smith case because Jack Smith was appointed unconstitutionally.
Jack Smith was not Senate confirmed, period. That is it. It's unconstitutional. No sane person, you know, fails to understand this. Except for Merrick Garland, who gives an interview and just lies the entire time. I'm going to debunk all of this on what happened. Check this out.
Judge Eileen Cannon ruled that the way.
the Justice Department has been picking special counsels.
for decades is illegal, unconstitutional. Why do you disagree with that?
Look, as you well know, I picked this room for this interview. This is my favorite room in the Justice Department. It's a law library. For more than 20 years, I was a federal judge. Do I look like somebody who would make that basic mistake about the law? I don't think so. Our position is that it's constitutional and valid. That's why we appealed. I will say that this is the same process of appointing special counsel as was followed in the previous administration, and the special counsel Durham and special counsel Mueller in multiple special counsels over the decades, going back to Watergate, and the special prosecutor in that case.
Folks, he's lying.
There's the muskrat. Thank you, guys.
He is lying. And the worst part about it, he goes, do you think...
Big muskrat. Every time he lies, we should expand the muskrat even worse.
He's a liar. He thinks you can't just go and look this up. And he goes, what do you think?
I'm stupid? I'm in a law library.
You are stupid. Bob Mueller was Senate confirmed as the FBI director. John Durham was Senate confirmed as an AUSA, excuse me, assistant United States attorney, USA.
Jack Smith wasn't. He just thinks you're dumb. Go, look it up what I just told you. Then he brings up the whole Watergate thing. That was the independent counsel statute, not special counsel. Notice how he expects you to mix it up. The guy is a liar. You think, if they uncover a big, pernicious, despicable scandal at the Secret Service and FBI with this, that they're going to release it to the public?
Get the hell out of here. They're going to bury this thing.
Congress, stay on top of it. This guy is totally full of crap. Nobody trusts these people. Look at the chat. Nobody trusts you. You burned it.
