0:26

awesome, awesome weekend. I know that

0:29

we did here at Fort Parnell,

0:32

and so listen, folks, it's

0:35

been a crazy weekend. Lots of crazy

0:38

news stories breaking all

0:40

over the country today, and I

0:42

want.

0:42

To get right to it because we've got a huge show

0:44

and.

0:44

I've only got one hour, So let

0:46

me give you a quick rundown on what is

0:49

going to happen today. There

0:51

is a huge ruling, and I

0:53

mean huge ruling on the

0:56

Trump bogus fraud case in

0:58

New York City with Fat James,

1:01

and of course libs are melting down

1:04

right on Q. I'm gonna give you the

1:06

full and complete rundown of what

1:08

Senate Democrats did this weekend.

1:10

While you were sleeping.

1:13

Of course, we're gonna discuss turncoat Rona

1:15

McDaniel. Lisa Murkowski NBC

1:19

1:26

on Q starts attacking

1:29

X and by default Elon Musk.

1:32

We have that in so much more.

1:34

Today on Battleground Live, I

1:36

am your host, Sean Parnell, combat veteran

1:38

New York Times bestselling author, and

1:40

a humble servant of America, and I want

1:43

to remind you all that this show is for you and

1:45

always will be. Uh So, thank

1:47

you all forgiving me a little bit of your time today on

1:49

Monday. Now let's

1:52

jump in to the arena. So

1:56

I get asked all the time how

1:59

I select from the show, and of

2:01

course the people on the battle Crew always

2:03

have great recommendations for topics

2:06

to cover, and I see many of you putting

2:08

those, you know, topics or

2:10

media headlines in the live chat, which I appreciate.

2:14

I love that you all are in the fight. But

2:16

I have to tell you I

2:20

have thought a lot about my life over

2:22

the past twenty years since

2:24

I've been out of the military, got

2:27

out of the military, went to grad school

2:30

fresh out of combat. Felt like Billy Madison.

2:32

While I was at grad school, I was surrounded by a bunch

2:34

of twenty three year old kids who

2:37

were all liberal by the way, and

2:39

they stressed out a lot about writing

2:41

papers and getting to

2:44

class on time and things like that, and I said,

2:46

boy, after watching some of

2:48

my friends die and being in combat for sixteen

2:50

months, that seems like a very stupid thing to be

2:52

stressed about. But it is what it

2:54

is. That's what grad school was like. Get out,

2:56

write a book outlaw patuone takes

2:58

off believe I was a no

3:01

name captain. Nobody was more surprised

3:03

about that than me. But that gave me an

3:05

opportunity to tell the story of my troops.

3:07

And the whole reason why I wrote that book was

3:09

to capture their legacy on the page,

3:11

so that they never had to answer questions from

3:13

their loved ones about what their service was like.

3:16

I wanted the

3:18

family members of my troops to know

3:21

that the people who

3:23

served with me were heroes and

3:25

that their legacy was always going to be right there

3:27

on the pages of that book for them. But writing

3:29

that book gave me the opportunity

3:32

to speak and tell their

3:34

story. Now, listen, I

3:36

think Commander Melanie would tell you that I don't

3:39

I this is a personal thing.

3:41

This isn't the commentary on anybody specifically,

3:44

but I absolutely despise motivational

3:46

speaking like I

3:48

don't like it when like drill Sergeant

3:51

S type people get up on stage

3:53

and say, what do you do with your life?

3:55

Get up? Stop being lazy, run fifty

3:57

miles a day. Can't you see me?

3:59

I can't do it. Actually demotivates

4:02

me. In fact, nothing demotivates

4:04

me more than watching people do like speak like

4:06

that. It drives me nuts, and I think it's a little

4:09

cringe. What I think is even worse is

4:11

when people talk about their combat experience

4:13

is some sort of inspiration. I told the

4:15

story of my troops, but there's outside

4:18

of the actions of my troops on the battlefield

4:20

and all the heroic stuff that they did, the

4:23

act of fighting in combat is

4:25

not something that is not

4:27

something that I ever thought was inspirational

4:29

to me. But

4:32

I would travel around and I do twenty

4:34

to thirty five in some

4:36

years, sometimes fifty speaking events

4:38

a year. And my motivation behind

4:41

that was was hustle

4:43

my butt off. Make sure the American

4:45

people know the story of

4:47

my troops. The more times I tell their

4:49

story, the more likely it is.

4:51

That people read the book.

4:52

And if people read the book, my soldier's

4:55

legacy is captured forever that was

4:57

the sole motivation. And hey, look,

5:00

I eventually got to a point where I was doing paid

5:02

speaking engagements, and like it was you know, when you're

5:04

flying all across the country, you're doing a few speaking

5:06

engagements a month, like spending time

5:08

away from your family. It's you really

5:10

got to work to a point where you can get paid.

5:13

And there was a time, I mean I did that for a

5:15

long time, almost ten years. And I remember saying

5:18

back in twenty nineteen before I ran for Congress,

5:21

talking to Commander Melanie and about

5:23

this, saying like, I just I

5:26

just can't do this anymore. I love

5:28

doing it. In fact, it was a blessing

5:30

to even have the opportunity to travel around

5:32

the country and speak, and it still is an extraordinary

5:35

honor to do it on occasion. But

5:38

the reason why I felt like in my heart

5:41

of hearts and in my soul that I just

5:44

it just didn't feel like

5:47

where I was meant to be. And

5:50

then that that crazy day where Trump

5:52

called me out randomly in western Pennsylvania

5:54

at Marcella schau at a speech that I wasn't even

5:56

there at that point in time, I'd never met the

5:58

guy, so godd had stepped

6:00

into my life in a crazy,

6:03

crazy way and

6:06

almost dragged

6:08

me into politics. And

6:10

folks, I am here to tell you I've always

6:12

been involved in politics, but not directly

6:16

a running for office, And

6:19

I have to tell you that's exactly what

6:22

I needed at that point in time in my life

6:24

period end of story, I felt

6:26

so often as dirty and as

6:29

gross and as horrible as politics

6:31

can be. The opportunity

6:34

to campaign and meet people

6:36

Democrat Republican, I mean, Western

6:38

Pennsylvania is filled with pro

6:40

life, pro gun, Union Democrats. To come

6:42

from a family of Union Democrats, so that's

6:45

in the lifeblood of my family. It was an honor. That

6:47

was the best part about

6:49

campaigning. But

6:52

I'm telling you all this because I can't

6:54

everything ever from the

6:56

second that I wake up and I draw breath

6:58

to the moment that I go to sleep. And Commander

7:00

Melanie can attest to this because I think

7:03

sometimes you'd like me to shut up talking about

7:05

it. In fact, I don't think I know. All

7:09

I can think about is saving this country.

7:11

That's it. In fact,

7:14

everything that I do professionally

7:17

now has to be about saving

7:19

the country.

7:21

And so I see people.

7:22

Out there that are still like, not you all

7:25

right, But I see public figures,

7:28

celebrities, well known

7:30

veterans out there talking about

7:32

motivational stuff and cashing

7:34

in, and that's great. This is America. Live

7:36

your life the way that you want. Who the

7:39

hell am I to tell you how to live? But

7:42

this country is melting down

7:45

to celebrities. If you're conservative,

7:47

or you believe that this country

7:50

is in a tough spot, and speak

7:53

up. We need your platform, we need

7:55

your voice. If you're a veteran, speak

7:59

up. This country needs you now

8:01

more than ever. And

8:04

I can't imagine wasting even

8:06

a second, a millisecond of

8:09

my life, I

8:11

mean, doing anything that would derail

8:14

my ability to try to save this country

8:16

for our kids. This country is that important.

8:19

It's the only country of its kind

8:22

to exist ever in

8:24

the history of this world of

8:26

people, where our rights

8:28

are granted and bestowed upon

8:31

us by our creator, given

8:33

to us by God and not government.

8:38

There's never been a nation like that. And

8:42

I think often of Ronald Reagan,

8:44

and people quote Reagan too often, especially

8:46

in today's GOP. But I do love

8:50

that freedom isn't passed from one generation

8:53

to the next in the bloodstream.

8:56

It's not something this is me now, not

8:58

something that's guaranteed heed to any of us.

9:01

It has to be fought for by

9:03

all of us.

9:06

And so everything I do now, everything

9:08

has to be about saving this country. And I hope

9:10

that you feel like that too. In fact, I

9:13

don't hope. I know that you feel like that because

9:15

the Battle Crew, whether you're watching this show

9:18

on Rumble or you're

9:20

listening to me on iHeart, I know in your

9:22

heart of hearts that that's how you feel. So

9:27

it frustrates me sometimes

9:31

to see conservatives get distracted.

9:35

I saw over the weekend this debate

9:37

between conservative Christians and

9:40

conservative Jews about

9:42

the idea that Christ is that the phrase

9:44

Christ is King hurts Jews

9:46

and is therefore anti semitic. I'm

9:48

telling you right here, right now, I got no

9:51

time to cover stuff like that on this show.

9:53

It's a waste of time.

9:55

How about that?

9:56

Or something else that just jumps right out at me is

9:58

the Conservative women calendar. Conservatives

10:01

got all up in arms about debating whether or not it was appropriate

10:04

for women to pose for a calendar, and both of them

10:06

were fully clothed. But

10:08

to me, waste of time. I

10:10

don't got time to cover things on this show

10:13

in an hour that I don't

10:15

personally believe we need to

10:17

address to save this country. And

10:19

that is ultimately how

10:21

I decide what to talk

10:24

about, what news to cover, does

10:26

it help us save the country

10:28

or not. And

10:32

so that brings me to talking about thirty

10:35

four trillion dollars in debt,

10:38

and you know, it's not a sexy thing to talk

10:40

about. In fact, most people when they hear

10:43

any talk about the debt of

10:45

thirty four trillion to hear the word trillion, but

10:47

you don't really know what it means, like trillion,

10:50

Oh, it's just another number like billion or million.

10:52

And most people that.

10:54

Aren't in this, like we're in this,

10:56

think like, well, that's a lot of

10:58

money, And

11:01

so the rise glazed over. I know, before

11:03

I got in this, mine did too, talked

11:06

a lot about We talked a lot about debt on this show. In fact,

11:08

I did my entire opening monologue about

11:10

debt on Friday. But

11:13

I was thinking over the weekend and talking

11:15

to my father about this. I'm like, how can

11:17

I put this in perspective for

11:19

people? So I

11:22

offer you this about thirty four trillion dollars

11:24

of debt, just

11:26

to wrap your mind around the enormity

11:29

that is one trillion. So

11:32

if you paid right,

11:34

I want you to think about one hundred

11:36

thousand dollars and what that would mean in

11:38

your life.

11:39

Now.

11:39

For us living paycheck

11:42

to paycheck, one hundred thousand dollars could

11:44

be a life changing sum of money to at least get us

11:46

to pay down some of our debt, right, I

11:49

mean one hundred thousand dollars, I mean might even get

11:51

us to a point where we've paid down all of our debt in Fort

11:53

Parnell.

11:55

But if you paid one hundred thousand

11:58

dollars a day,

12:01

one hundred thousand dollars per day,

12:04

you would pay off a one trillion

12:06

dollar loan in twenty

12:08

seven thousand, three hundred and ninety

12:10

seven years.

12:14

One hundred thousand.

12:14

Dollars a day every day,

12:17

you'd pay off a trillion dollars in

12:19

twenty seven thousand, three hundred

12:21

and ninety seven years. So

12:25

it now multiply that number by thirty

12:27

five, and that's where

12:29

we are as a country now.

12:31

Listen, and this is just stuff

12:33

that our politicians don't seem to understand.

12:36

Okay, they don't understand basic math.

12:39

So there are a couple different solutions to this, and there

12:41

is a way out because when you hear those

12:43

numbers, you immediately think

12:46

I did as well, Well,

12:48

holy hell, we're screwed. There's no way we

12:50

can dig ourselves out of this hole. That's

12:53

incorrect, but you would not be

12:55

incorrect for feeling that way.

12:59

We take in America takes in

13:01

about five trillion dollars in taxes every

13:03

single year. So if you cut twenty percent

13:05

spending across the year, across the

13:07

board, right, we bring in five

13:09

trillion a year, you cut twenty percent a year, that

13:13

debt thirty four to thirty five trillion could

13:15

be paid off in thirty five years.

13:18

It's still an astronomically

13:20

long time. And the

13:23

likelihood of our government cutting

13:25

twenty percent across the board is

13:27

slim to none because

13:29

that would mean there would have to be cut

13:32

to Social Security and Medicare and

13:34

that's just not going to happen. But

13:36

another way, if I were in

13:39

Washington or advising President Trump

13:41

in the White House, the only

13:44

path out of this, and I mean it, and when

13:46

I say this, there is no

13:48

other way to get out of this. But what I'm

13:50

about to tell you, and

13:53

that is we have to grow

13:55

economically out of this. So

13:58

if the economy grows five percent a

14:01

year. One can also

14:03

assume that tax revenue would

14:05

go up also five percent

14:07

a year. So then instead

14:09

of cutting twenty percent across the

14:12

board, you would have to freeze spending

14:14

or cap spending at where it is today,

14:17

or and this seems imminently

14:19

reasonable with my right Republicans, or

14:23

keep a spending increase less

14:25

than five percent every year.

14:28

That solves the problem.

14:30

We can get ourselves out of the hole, maybe

14:33

even get to a place where

14:35

we're neutral, where we don't have that, maybe

14:38

we have a surplus, and maybe we can do it in

14:40

my lifetime.

14:41

But that is it.

14:44

And the crazy thing about all of this,

14:46

folks, is that our government

14:49

punishes people for being

14:51

successful, for hustling. We're going to talk

14:53

about Elon Musk just a little bit

14:55

later, but the government has gone

14:58

after Elon Musk and fairly just

15:00

relentlessly gone after him and made it more

15:02

difficult for him to make to

15:05

grow his business and

15:08

might and make life changing innovations

15:10

and our economy, and those life changing innovations

15:13

are what can somehow be the

15:15

catalyst for unbelievable

15:18

economic growth. Thinking of something like the

15:20

internet, right, staying on the

15:22

cutting edge of things, like that has always been

15:25

who we are as Americans.

15:28

And the more we punish private businesses,

15:30

the less likely that becomes, and

15:33

the less likely that becomes, the

15:35

more likely it becomes that your

15:38

children become like indentured servitudes.

15:40

They're indentsured servants in America.

15:42

And we cannot have that.

15:46

And speaking of the government going

15:48

after people, I'm sure you saw the news

15:51

of Trump's New York

15:53

fraud and I use the term loosely

15:57

fraud trial bond lowered to one hundred

15:59

and seventy five million in a partial

16:01

stay at the eleventh hour. This

16:04

to me, I'm just gonna give

16:06

you my thoughts on this very very quickly. But this

16:09

is still a disgrace to the justice

16:11

system to me, the

16:14

fact that Trump first

16:16

was ordered to pay four to fifty five I mean, yeah,

16:18

listen, one hundred and seventy five is

16:21

way better than four hundred and fifty

16:23

four million, right, I

16:25

mean it's a significant

16:27

difference, but it's still an unbelievable

16:29

sum of money. And I would put forth

16:32

to you and I want you to

16:34

take this to the bank, because this is how these

16:37

this communist scum tends

16:39

to operate. I

16:43

one hundred percent guarantee you

16:45

that in Goron and the

16:47

Bastard, and the black Robe and Tiss,

16:49

James Fat Tish and

16:52

all of these scumbag New York

16:54

politicians war gained this

16:56

branch of law fare out

16:59

and they said, will listen, if you order this

17:02

four hundred and fifty four million dollar

17:04

ruling against Trump, he's gonna appeal you,

17:06

right, Well, of course he is. We've

17:08

got to post the bond before that. Well, so what

17:10

he's likely gonna do is either he's going to ask

17:13

the appellate court to waive that bond or

17:15

have it be significantly diminished. And

17:18

at that point I can almost guarantee

17:21

you that all of these corrupt,

17:23

disgusting commie politicians said,

17:26

well, you know what we're gonna do. We're

17:28

just gonna make the bond historically

17:31

high. We're gonna make it

17:33

four hundred and fifty four billion

17:35

dollars, never really

17:37

happened before in this country. And

17:40

so that way, when Trump comes to ask

17:43

and file this inevitable

17:45

appeal, which of

17:47

course he's gonna do, why how could you

17:49

not so unjust and disgusting?

17:52

It would make Soviet era Russia

17:55

jealous that even America could even do

17:57

something like this, but

18:00

when the appeal comes from Trump, we'll

18:02

just lower it to say one hundred and seventy

18:04

five million, which is still an astronomical

18:06

sum, but make it look publicly

18:09

like we did something. That's

18:13

what happened, and this is

18:15

still a disgrace. And

18:19

so Trump's fraud verdict

18:22

is based on the notion that he systematically

18:25

gave incorrect valuation to his properties

18:28

in order to deceive lenders, even

18:31

though all lenders were repaid

18:33

and none of them ever made any complaints

18:35

about him. There was no crime,

18:38

there was no victim, there was no fraud,

18:40

yet this astronomical ruling. And

18:45

I would, I guess I would just ask

18:49

you all to consider something. Just

18:51

days before Trump

18:55

faced this record breaking

18:57

four hundred plus million dollar bond,

19:00

simply to appeal and seek

19:03

justice on what was a highly

19:05

politicized ruling by

19:07

Ngoron in New York. It

19:10

was clearly a persecut it meant

19:12

to persecute Trump. Speaker

19:15

Johnson fully funded Biden's

19:18

doj Who's

19:20

trying to throw

19:22

Trump in prison for the rest of

19:24

his life.

19:29

Wrap your mind around that.

19:33

One of the only

19:35

powers, if not the only check on

19:37

executive power, that

19:40

we have in the House of Representatives, as Republicans,

19:43

when we're in power and divided government

19:45

is control of the purse strings.

19:49

Yet Mike Johnson, Speaker

19:51

of the House, who I've heard by all accounts,

19:53

is an extraordinarily nice guy.

19:56

But he funded this. And

20:00

just for.

20:00

Context,

20:03

regarding Trump's astronomical

20:06

bond even lowered to one hundred

20:08

and seventy five million, Bernie

20:11

Madeoff set up set up a fifty

20:14

billion dollars Ponzi scheme. He

20:17

defrauded forty thousand

20:21

investors of billions of savings.

20:24

Bernie Madoff's bond, his

20:26

bail was ten million bucks. Sam

20:29

Bankman Freed set

20:32

up an eight billion dollar fraud scheme. His bail

20:34

was two hundred and fifty million. Sam

20:37

Bankman Freed defrauded thousands

20:40

of crypto investors out of billions of dollars

20:42

to finance donations to Democrats

20:45

and never Trump Republicans so that

20:47

they would look the other way, they wouldn't

20:49

say a damn word about it. And

20:53

getting this from Charlie Kirk, apparently

20:55

he tried to use this stolen

20:59

funds to Donald Trump not

21:01

to run for office in the first case.

21:03

In the first place, and both of these folks,

21:06

this is so important. But both of

21:08

these were criminal cases. What's

21:10

happening to Trump is civil. It's a completely

21:13

different standard. Makes

21:15

absolutely no sense. So

21:19

clearly Democrats are in full support of

21:22

New York being in violation of our Eighth

21:24

Amendment to the Constitution. And of

21:27

course, just so all of you know

21:29

the Eighth Amendment, excessive bail

21:31

shall not be required, nor

21:34

excessive fines imposed,

21:37

nor cruel and unusual punishments

21:39

inflicted. Certainly

21:43

seems like that's what's happening in

21:45

New York right now, does it not? But

21:48

case in point of Democrats being

21:51

fully on board with

21:54

the state seizing a businessman

21:57

turned politicians assets

22:00

based on an

22:03

alleged offense there where there was

22:05

no crime, no fraud, no victim, no nothing.

22:08

I mean, they seem to be fully on board

22:11

with it. Listen to this garbage

22:14

liberal meltdown.

22:17

And honestly, this is so infuriating.

22:20

I don't even know what to do. I don't even

22:22

know if I care what the process is that

22:24

these judges are arriving at. Whatever it is, it's

22:26

flawed, I can tell you that much. I

22:29

mean, David put it well, it's this is

22:31

a different process for this person.

22:33

We have decided that he gets his own private

22:36

court of justice. He has

22:38

a private plane, he

22:40

has private clubs that he lives in. You

22:42

know, apparently, you know, he basically fashioned

22:45

himself his own private militia to try to take

22:47

over the capitol. You know, now he's

22:49

getting his own private system of justice.

22:52

This is an absolute travesty. It would not

22:54

happen for anybody else. Anybody

22:56

else. It would be like, sorry, buddy, you lost, pay

22:58

up for him. He gets his own

23:00

set of rules.

23:03

Only on MSNBC

23:06

could they find some low

23:09

information, mouth breathing,

23:12

soulless loser democrat

23:15

and trot them out there in front

23:18

of God and everybody to

23:20

make the argument. And you're

23:22

hearing this correctly, that

23:25

Donald Trump is getting preferential

23:27

treatment by the courts.

23:30

I mean, I

23:33

can't even say that with a

23:35

straight face. This man believes

23:39

that the courts

23:41

where Donald Trump is facing ninety

23:44

plus criminal charges

23:46

or ninety plus charges seven hundred

23:49

plus years in jail.

23:52

This man would have the MSNBC's

23:55

audience believe that

23:57

Trump is getting preferential treatment.

23:59

Here. How

24:02

do we share a country with

24:04

people like this?

24:06

You know, what the real tragedy is

24:08

is that that guy's vote cancels out my vote.

24:11

And when I say I say this often, but

24:14

I really watching clips

24:16

like this, it makes me wonder if

24:19

being that stupid physically hurts.

24:21

I mean, because

24:25

it has to case in point

24:27

number two, Lawrence Tribe,

24:30

Garbage's liberal lawyer. Right,

24:32

So this, this is where I'm coming from with is like

24:35

level of education does not

24:38

always correlate to level of

24:40

intelligence, and I think this is true with Lawrence

24:42

Tribe. He says the New York Appellate

24:44

Court's unexplained reduction from

24:47

four hundred and fifty four million to one seventy

24:49

five million in the in the bond Trump

24:51

must pay in ten days to secure the judgment

24:54

pending appeal. There's a travesty

24:56

of justice. Let's hope public

24:58

discussed with this referential

25:00

treatment will come back to bite

25:02

Trump politically. What

25:07

even Lawrence Dribe, lawyer

25:09

TM, this

25:12

is arguing somehow arguing

25:14

with a straight face that Trump is getting

25:17

preferential treatment by the courts

25:19

in this country. It's it's absolutely

25:21

mind blowing. And so

25:23

Trump was asked about how he's going

25:25

to post bond and I saw this and

25:27

somebody of course made a meme. So for our

25:29

friends on iHeart that are listening the

25:33

gangster rap music. I think this is

25:35

Snoop Dogg and Doctor Dre was clearly added

25:37

after the fact. But Trump was asked how he's

25:39

going to pay the

25:42

bond, and he responded like this.

25:44

Listen.

25:54

The question was, what's your collateral

25:57

for the bond? Trump stops turned

25:59

around. He turns around cash.

26:02

He says nothing more and then walks

26:04

off into the sunset. You

26:08

know, I hope that this show gets so successful

26:12

that some point in time in my life

26:14

if if I'm well, First of all,

26:16

I hope that I never have to be in a situation like

26:18

this. It were to be fined unjust

26:21

and unlawfully one hundred and seventy five million

26:24

for no crime, no fraud, nothing, no

26:26

victim, nothing, But it would be nice

26:28

to just be able to say, yeah, one hundred and seventy five million

26:31

cash, no problem. Until then,

26:34

I guess we will just have to live vicariously

26:36

through Trump. But

26:39

the ban on Trump doing business

26:41

in New York in this ruling was also

26:44

stayed. It was stayed for

26:46

Don Junior and Eric Trump as

26:49

well. And coming on the heels

26:51

of all of this and prior to truth

26:53

social going public tomorrow,

26:56

skies or stocks are skyrocketing.

27:00

By the way, is this headline

27:02

from Bloomberg. Trump's

27:05

net worth hits six point

27:07

four billion, making him

27:09

one of the world's five

27:11

hundred richest people. I told

27:14

you last week that if

27:16

you think that Trump is not somehow

27:18

four steps ahead of these mouth breathers,

27:20

I think you would be wrong. Do not

27:22

believe the media narrative that Donald Trump

27:25

is a stupid man?

27:26

Again?

27:26

I remind you that he beat a Bush and a Clinton

27:29

in the same election cycle, went

27:31

up against the deep state for four years, and still

27:33

accomplished more than any president has in

27:35

my entire lifetime, even with

27:38

all of the fraud in twenty twenty, and yes there

27:40

was fraud, and we're not afraid to say it. In Time magazine

27:42

bragged about it four months after election day

27:44

in an article for all of us to read. And if you don't

27:46

like the term rigged, let's just say fortified.

27:49

Even with all of the fortification, Trump's

27:52

still almost one in twenty twenty, and I believe

27:54

he did. Trump

27:58

was asked about the political

28:00

implications of this

28:03

reduction from four hundred

28:05

and fifty four to one hundred and twenty five million.

28:07

Again, still astronomical and disgusting

28:09

in so many ways. But Trump responded,

28:12

like he always does, Listen.

28:15

I think it gives a little bit more detail about

28:18

the timing of when you plan to

28:20

secure the bond.

28:21

And how exactly you're planning

28:23

to.

28:23

Pay a long well, as they say, have a lot of cash,

28:26

you know I do, because you looked at my statements. I mean,

28:28

you've been examining my statements for a long

28:30

time, and I have much more than that

28:32

in cash. But I would also like to

28:34

be able to use some of my cash to get elected.

28:37

They don't want me to use my cash to

28:39

get elected. They don't want that. They don't want me taking

28:41

cash out to use it for the campaign.

28:44

Then they looked at it, and this judge looked at

28:46

it, and he's part of the whole deal, and

28:49

well, he's such a disgrace for this city.

28:51

Again, the most overturned judge. There's

28:53

never been that. We can find just a

28:56

case where judge has been overturned.

28:58

Now five times.

28:59

It was four times, now it's five times.

29:02

All right, Trump is right

29:04

as usual.

29:08

Let's talk about what the Senate Democrats

29:10

did last night over the weekend.

29:13

Forgive me, Senate

29:16

Democrats got the budget

29:18

bill from the US House of Representatives that

29:20

we talked about last week. And

29:24

not only did they get it, I told you last week that

29:26

the Senate, after the House passed

29:28

the bill, would then have the

29:31

opportunity to add amendments

29:33

to the bill and to fund whatever project

29:35

they believe are best for their state.

29:38

Now, there were many amendments

29:40

proposed to this abomination,

29:42

monstrosity of a budget bill in the United States

29:44

Senate, proposed by Republicans.

29:47

Some of these amendments stopped the release

29:49

of illegal immigrants into our

29:52

country. Another one would have stopped the funding

29:54

into sanctuary cities. Stop the

29:56

funding. Actually, let me go back and just say

29:58

stop this. Stop dropping the release

30:01

of illegal aliens into our country was

30:03

an amendment by Mike Lee. The

30:06

stop funding sanctuary cities was

30:08

an amendment by Ron Johnson in Wisconsin.

30:10

Stop funding flights for illegal aliens

30:13

into our country was an amendment that was

30:15

proposed to be added by Senator Bill Haggerty

30:17

of Tennessee. And then past

30:19

the Lake and Riley Act, which is a no brainer.

30:23

That was an amendment proposed by Ted

30:25

Budd, Senator from North Carolina.

30:27

It would have also there was an amendment proposed

30:29

to end Biden's secret illegal

30:32

alien flights into the United States

30:35

and ended. There was another proposal, an amendment

30:37

that would have ended fast pass entry for illegals

30:40

via Customs and Border patrol phone app.

30:43

Not a single Democrat voted for any of these

30:46

amendments, not

30:48

one single Democrat. In fact,

30:50

every one of these amendments

30:54

was voted down. This

30:57

at a time where

30:59

there there are historic levels of legal

31:02

aliens pouring into this country, where

31:04

Americans are clearly suffering.

31:07

It's caused crime

31:09

to skyrocket, and I don't care what the

31:12

lying media says about

31:14

it.

31:14

It's true.

31:14

It puts Americans in danger,

31:18

exacerbates an already very serious

31:20

fentanyl problem, It

31:23

undercuts middle class wages,

31:25

and that doesn't even We've not even

31:28

begun to discuss the implications

31:30

of the humans suffering

31:32

at our southern border daily, the eighty

31:34

plus thousand children that have gone

31:37

missing under the Biden administration, sold

31:39

into some form of horrific slavery.

31:43

So my question to Republicans

31:45

who are on Capitol

31:47

Hill is very

31:50

simple, why

31:52

aren't you out there at the top

31:54

of your lungs on every single

31:57

show saying that the

31:59

Democrats are

32:01

pro human trafficking. The

32:04

Democrats are pro child

32:06

slavery. That these Democrats

32:08

in Congress don't care about human life.

32:10

They should have passed if looks if

32:14

we could save one life by passing

32:16

the Lake and Riley Act, and reality is is you will

32:18

likely save literally far more.

32:21

But use the.

32:22

Democrats attacks

32:25

against them turn it around again.

32:29

I had to do research on this to find

32:32

information about it. But this is

32:34

a prime example that Republicans

32:36

get out there. It's Monday, it's

32:38

the start of the week. Take the Democrats

32:41

to task on this. It is an election

32:43

year. This is the biggest story

32:45

in the country. And I don't think a single

32:47

Democrat has had to issue a single statement

32:51

on justifying their vote to the American people,

32:53

and I think that is shameful. You

32:56

can't rely on the media to ask these questions

32:58

of Democrats.

32:59

They won't.

33:00

As Republicans, we have to force the media

33:02

to ask, or we have to ask ourselves.

33:05

It's just that simple.

33:07

Okay, may take a let me

33:09

take a quick break and thank Hammerhead. I

33:12

really appreciate the Rumble

33:14

Rant tip. One hundred percent of the tips

33:17

go to the Studio Fund. And

33:19

you listen, Commander Melanie, We're gonna take some pictures

33:22

tonight and post them on our locals. And by the way, Commander

33:24

Melanie is gonna be taking over my

33:26

locals page. So if

33:29

you can take a couple of minutes, there's like

33:31

a little green thumb beneath the

33:34

rumble video or not a little green thumb,

33:36

a little red button.

33:37

I'm tod green thumb, red button. That can

33:39

all get confusing, I understand.

33:41

But there's a red

33:44

button that would allow you to subscribe to Locals.

33:46

Yes, they sometimes like you can pay

33:48

for a year subscription and get access to some stuff

33:50

that we're gonna build over the next year and that would be amazing,

33:53

or just subscribe.

33:54

You can get a sense of what the studio fund will

33:56

look like.

33:57

It'll give us an ability to have a to

34:00

keep in contact more often when

34:02

you know, over the weekend or things like that when news breaks.

34:05

So make sure you get over to locals and follow

34:07

us there on Locals. We're going to be building out that page real

34:09

soon. But thanks to Hammerhead

34:11

for dropping that in the live chat. Really appreciate

34:13

you, We really appreciate you being here with us

34:16

every single night. Okay,

34:19

let me talk to you all about

34:22

Roni McDaniel. This is a woman that was

34:24

in charge of the Republican National Committee

34:28

for three election cycles and

34:30

racked up historic losses during that time.

34:32

Now, many of those losses

34:35

were blamed on Donald Trump, and I believe wrongly.

34:37

So the truth is

34:40

is that during these last

34:42

three election cycles, Republicans

34:44

needed to be focused singularly on

34:47

building an election infrastructure

34:50

to rival that of the Democrats. We've not done

34:52

that, not done that at all. Laura Trump is

34:54

on her way to doing that, but

34:56

we have not done that. And I

34:58

lay that responsibility at the feet

35:01

of ron and McDaniel and

35:04

I have. I've not attacked

35:06

her, and it's not my intent to do so now,

35:09

but I have an obligation to speak

35:11

the truth, and

35:14

I wasn't going to say anything and just sort

35:16

of let bygones be bygones.

35:18

I know Laura.

35:19

Trump is competent and she's going to do a great

35:21

job there. But I saw Ronald McDaniel this

35:23

weekend. I'm sorry she stabbed us all on the back.

35:26

We knew that she really wasn't as conservative

35:28

as she said she was, but I half wondered at

35:30

the time, is what she's doing. She can't be in

35:32

this incompetent, right, she can't be this out

35:34

of touch? Does she really even share

35:36

any of our values? We

35:38

got our answer over the weekend.

35:40

Listen, Well, let's.

35:41

Talk about the election now. Jnald Trump

35:43

says one of his first acts if

35:46

he is re elected to a second term,

35:48

would be quote to free those

35:50

charged and convicted of crimes

35:52

related to January sixth.

35:54

Do you support that?

35:55

I want to be very clear, the violence

35:58

that happened on January sixth is

36:00

unacceptable. It doesn't represent

36:03

our country. It certainly does not represent

36:05

my party. We should not be

36:07

attacking the capitol. We should not be having

36:09

violence. I said it that day. I

36:11

put a statement out that day that

36:14

this is not acceptable. If you

36:16

attacked our capital and you have been and

36:18

you've been convicted, then that should stay.

36:21

So then, but to the question, though, do

36:23

you disagree with Trump saying he's going to

36:25

free those who've been charged?

36:26

I do not think people who committed violent acts

36:28

on January sixth should be freed.

36:30

So you disagree with that? He's been saying that

36:32

for months. I NA, why not speak

36:35

out earlier? Why just speak out about that now?

36:37

When you're the R and C chair, you

36:40

kind of take one for the whole team.

36:42

Right now, I get to be a little bit more myself.

36:44

Right, this is what I believe. I don't think violence

36:47

should be in our political discourse, Republican

36:49

or Democrat, and I

36:51

disagree with that. I agree with him on a whole host

36:54

of other things. Let's close the border, Let's

36:56

make sure we have good incomes

36:58

for people.

36:58

Let's listen. This is the hot

37:01

button issue for me.

37:02

I think that our January sixth prisoners

37:04

are political prisoners and something like this should

37:06

never happen in America. And the fact that Ronald McDaniel

37:09

threw them under the bus really upsets me because

37:12

the way that our Department of Justice manipulated

37:15

the charge of fifteen twelve seed to enhance

37:18

the sentences to a felony

37:21

conviction for most January six ers who

37:23

were just walking through the Capitol and

37:25

not performing

37:27

any violence at all, not

37:29

committing violence at all is

37:32

criminal. I mean, the DOJ

37:34

needs to be held accountable for that. I mean, one of these dudes

37:36

from the Proud Boys, and again, I don't even know the hell the

37:38

Proud Boys were before this trial.

37:41

I think is Enrico Taria wasn't

37:43

even at the Capitol and he was sentenced to

37:45

twenty two plus years or something insane.

37:50

You can't throw these people under the bus

37:55

taking a stand tough

37:57

stances even when

37:59

no one else is taking them.

38:02

That's part of what it means to be a leader. Now, if

38:04

you are in charge of the RNC, you've

38:07

got to be a leader, even

38:10

if people aren't ready to accept

38:12

it. Right And in the case

38:14

of January sixth, early

38:16

on, there was not a whole lot known

38:19

about January sixth, and I can almost give

38:21

some people who aren't involved in politics

38:24

every day a pass on that.

38:26

But as time has gone by, it's

38:28

been pretty clear that they've weaponized January

38:30

six against all of these poor

38:33

souls who are languishing

38:35

in prison cells now on

38:37

charges that were greatly enhanced on justly

38:39

so by the Department of Justice. Part

38:42

of our job as leaders in this

38:45

movement, and yes, Battle crew are friends

38:47

listening on iHeart and those watching here on

38:49

Rumble.

38:50

You are leaders.

38:51

You're all leaders, is to use

38:53

our platform. We must use our platforms,

38:56

especially when times are tough, to speak about

38:58

things that we believe in our hearts are right.

39:00

To not do so allows

39:03

the Democrats to win. And look, maybe Roni McDaniel.

39:05

Maybe she really believes this, maybe

39:08

she doesn't. Who knows,

39:11

But again, folks, why

39:14

moderate on a single issue? Why

39:18

they're just gonna take your scalp anyway?

39:20

Which is why. As a clip that you saw

39:23

was Roni McDaniel's first appearance on NBC

39:25

after she was hired as a political analyst

39:27

or contributor NBC.

39:29

Even though she bent the knee and said, I

39:31

think January sixth prisoners should still be

39:33

in jail.

39:34

But.

39:36

They still complained earned full

39:38

meltdown mode about

39:40

ron McDaniel's hiring.

39:43

And we'll get to that in a second. But

39:46

these squish Republicans, I have no time for

39:48

them anymore. I don't. Speaking

39:51

of squish Republicans, Lisa Murkowski

39:53

is one of those. She says she's done with Trump. Percynn

39:57

doesn't rule out leaving the GOP.

39:59

And of course this comes on the heels of ken

40:01

Buck and Mike Gallagher and the US House of

40:03

Representatives retiring, and

40:06

there are more retirements on the way,

40:10

but this is the start. There are going

40:12

to be more squish Republican

40:14

GOP senators that hold their nose up

40:16

at Trump. I can't do it anymore. And

40:19

likely leave the party, which would again tip

40:21

the scale in the Senate

40:23

in favor of the Democrats. All

40:26

of these GOP retirements in

40:28

the House does nothing but tip

40:30

the scale to the Democrats in the House,

40:32

all in an election

40:34

year.

40:37

You see.

40:39

I think that one of the biggest mistakes that

40:42

most Trump's supporters make is

40:46

really believing that

40:51

the Republicans

40:53

and Democrats, or the Uniparty or the

40:55

Blob, that their hatred

40:57

of Trump has anything to do with

41:00

Trump himself. Because

41:02

you'll hear a lot made about

41:05

his comportment. Oh I wish

41:07

he would say different things on Twitter.

41:09

Oh can't handle it. He's

41:11

just he's just too.

41:12

Crass for me.

41:16

You see, I don't believe it has

41:18

anything to do with that.

41:20

I don't.

41:22

I think that this is what these hacks

41:24

say as

41:27

almost a disingenuous

41:30

front.

41:32

They know that

41:36

politics is really tough. They

41:38

know.

41:39

I mean, you go listen, you go back to the

41:41

time of our founders and look up

41:43

some of the things that they would say about

41:46

each other and about each other's lives

41:48

and family. If you think the political

41:50

discourse in this country is load

41:53

today, I got something for you. It

41:55

was worse back then. Believe me, so

41:57

when people talk about the discourse, Trump

42:00

is crass, I laugh. It's always been

42:02

that way. But this is just a front. They attack

42:04

Trump like this because it's just a front. All

42:07

of these people are disgusting people

42:10

behind the scenes. But

42:13

the blob, Republican

42:16

establishment Republicans, establishment

42:18

Democrats, they hate

42:20

Trump and for our listeners

42:22

on iHeart yes, I'm giving the knife hand

42:25

to the camera. They hate

42:27

Trump because of one reason

42:30

and one reason alone, and that is

42:32

what this man represents a

42:35

love of country, patriotism,

42:38

nationalism, specifically

42:41

America first. The idea

42:44

of putting America first

42:46

is abhorrent to establishment

42:49

members of the GOP and

42:51

the Democrats, the Uniparty, the

42:53

blob. The

42:56

very idea that America's government

42:59

should be, that are

43:01

policies should

43:03

be rooted in what's best for.

43:05

We the people.

43:08

It's poison to these It's poisoned to the globalists,

43:13

people like Lisa Mark Murkowski.

43:16

Oh, I'm gonna leave the GOP because Trump's

43:18

just too mean.

43:19

Like people like that.

43:22

It ain't about Trump, It's about what he

43:24

represents, and that's we the people.

43:27

The idea that we should come first, not

43:30

some globalist interest.

43:35

But Chad program from Fox news

43:38

today. So

43:40

he just reported today from Chad

43:43

is a great guy, by the way, but he's just reporting

43:45

today this And I'm gonna read you a couple couple

43:49

X posts or tweets or whatever you want to call

43:51

it. And he said the user's

43:53

manual on how to control the

43:56

user's manual to how control

43:59

of the House of House could flip to

44:01

the Democrats before the election. Control

44:03

of the House has never changed in the middle of a Congress,

44:06

but if it's going to happen, one hundred and eighteenth Congress

44:08

is as ripe for that possibility.

44:11

House Republicans face chaos in

44:13

their conference. Members who planned to retire,

44:17

members who planned to retire next

44:19

January are now ditching Capitol Hill

44:21

Early. The House is an acrimonious

44:24

place, with yet another move afoot to dethrone

44:27

the speaker. Fox is told

44:29

that other Republicans

44:31

are angling to get out as soon

44:33

as they can. A big payday

44:36

in the private sector could lure some

44:38

members to cash in their voting card

44:40

early.

44:42

We told you this. I told

44:45

you this right here on this show two weeks

44:47

ago. And it's true.

44:50

Republicans are working over

44:52

time to give Democrats

44:55

power in the US House. Of representatives

44:58

retiring early, and you'll see Republican

45:01

senators this

45:03

this I believe will happen closer to election

45:05

day, but I do believe you'll see some Republican

45:08

senators at least threaten more often

45:10

about leaving the GOP the squishes

45:12

in the Senate you watch. I've

45:17

told you many times before that never

45:19

Trumpers or establishment Republicans

45:21

are worse than Democrats

45:24

on so many levels. Because

45:26

you hear in politics, and take it from me as somebody

45:28

who's run twice, you hear people say, politicians

45:31

say to you, oh man, yeah.

45:32

I got your back, I have your back. I have your back.

45:35

Yes, I know, and I will know that

45:37

when I feel the knife in it. At

45:40

least Democrats. At least

45:42

you know that Democrats are

45:44

your political foe.

45:47

You never want to have to worry about getting stabbed

45:49

in the back. And that's what these never Trump Republicans

45:52

represent. They're backstabbers.

45:54

They betray our movement, and they betray

45:56

we the people, and they should be shunned.

46:00

Frankly, they should be shunned. And that

46:02

ultimately leads me to this point, Lisa

46:05

Murkowski. They rigged the system in Alaska

46:07

with rank choice voting, but

46:10

we the people need to do a better job at

46:13

selecting better people.

46:15

Now. I know that might not be easy to hear,

46:17

and.

46:17

It certainly doesn't apply to everybody, because

46:19

this is a national show and

46:21

you might love your congressional representative,

46:24

and that's fine. I love that there are

46:26

lots of good politicians in

46:28

Washington. There are a lot

46:30

of Republicans voted against this monstrosity

46:33

of a bill and fight back against Joe Biden

46:35

on the regular. If

46:37

you're one of those, you don't fall into this category.

46:40

But we have to do a better job at sending strong

46:42

Republicans to Washington. So

46:45

I mentioned to you, and listen, if

46:47

we have to go over an hour, so be it.

46:50

I've got a lot to talk about and it's just important.

46:53

And I pride myself

46:55

on keeping you all ahead of

46:57

the curve.

46:57

I do.

46:59

We get you information on the show fashion just about

47:01

anybody else, and I take pride in that. And

47:03

so I'm getting this information out come hell or high

47:05

water. But I

47:07

told you that that NBC

47:10

was melting down because of because

47:13

of Ronald McDaniel's higher and I meant it.

47:15

Listen, let me deal with the elephant in the room.

47:17

Yes, I think our boss's owe you an apology

47:20

for putting you in this situation because

47:22

I don't know what to believe. She is now a paid

47:24

contributor by NBC News. Well,

47:26

I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you

47:29

was because she didn't want to mess up her

47:31

contract. She

47:34

wants us to believe that she was speaking for the r and C when

47:36

the rn C was paying for it, So

47:38

she has she has credibility

47:41

issues that she still has to deal with. Is

47:43

she speaking for herself or she's speaking on behalf

47:45

of who's paying her. Once

47:48

at the rn C, she did say that, Hey, I'm speaking

47:50

for the party. I get

47:52

that that's part of the job. So

47:55

what about here? I will say this, I think your

47:57

interview did a good job

48:00

of exposing I think many of the contradictions.

48:03

And look, there's a reason why there's a lot of journalists

48:05

at NBC News uncomfortable with this because many

48:08

of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last

48:10

six years have been met with cats lighting,

48:13

have been met with character assassination. So

48:15

it is you know, that's where

48:17

you begin here.

48:19

And so.

48:21

When NBC made the decision to give her

48:24

NBC News's credibility.

48:26

You got to ask yourself, what.

48:27

Does she bring NBC News?

48:29

And when we make deals like this, and I've been at this

48:31

company a long time, you're doing it for access,

48:34

access to audience. Sometimes

48:36

it's access to an individual.

48:39

Oh what old Chucky

48:41

Todd has booboo Tommy over Ronnie

48:43

McDaniel's hiring.

48:47

What's amazing to me about these people is

48:50

that they can't handle even the slightest dissent.

48:53

They can't handle anybody challenging their

48:55

worldview. They can't have anybody

48:58

debating them ever, one

49:00

big disgusting group

49:03

think room filled

49:05

with hacks if there ever was one. And

49:08

never mind the fact that NBC negotiated

49:10

a contract with Oh, that's right, Jensaki

49:13

was she was still the White House Press secretary

49:16

under the animated corpse.

49:17

That is Joe Biden.

49:18

ABC hired George

49:21

Stephanopoulos directly from

49:23

the Clinton White House with absolutely

49:25

no journalism experience whatsoever. These

49:29

networks had Brennan and Clapper

49:31

and all of these other deep state

49:33

losers on to perpetrate the Russia

49:35

collusion hoax for years,

49:38

misinformation like crazy,

49:41

and it never ever ever

49:44

prompts drama like this.

49:47

I mean listen Ronal McDaniel. Look,

49:50

I'm not saying I just I just kind of went after

49:52

her a little bit. But we're talking NBC melts

49:55

down over her, the hiring of one Republican

49:57

like this, Maybe,

50:00

just maybe the executives who run

50:02

that company should take a

50:04

look internally and do a little bit of

50:06

soul searching and ask themselves

50:09

are they populating their.

50:10

Shows with the

50:12

right people?

50:14

Because my god, these

50:17

journalists are the biggest pansies

50:19

in the history.

50:21

Of the world.

50:22

Chucky Todd on there, I

50:24

can't believe we hired Roni

50:27

McDaniel because I just don't.

50:29

Believe or says the man who perpetrated the Russia

50:31

collusion hoax for years.

50:33

Give me a break. Absolutely

50:36

ridiculous.

50:37

And of course Morning Joe got in on the action

50:40

too. It wouldn't be an episode of Battleground

50:42

Live if we didn't throw shade at mourning

50:44

Joe and Micah. Those are two disgusting

50:47

hacks.

50:47

I ring a former RNC chair Ronni

50:50

McDaniel, Well.

50:52

She was on Sunday's Meet the Press.

50:53

It was her first appearance since the NBC and

50:56

since NBC who's hired her as a political

50:58

analyst?

50:59

Uh?

51:00

I know you won't be surprised

51:02

to know that we've been inundated with calls this

51:04

weekend, as have most

51:07

people connected with US network about NBC's

51:09

decision to hire her. We

51:12

learned about the hiring when we read about it

51:14

in the press on Friday. We

51:16

weren't asked our opinion of the hiring, but if

51:18

we were, we would have strongly objected to

51:20

it for several reasons, including,

51:24

but not limited too, as lawyers

51:26

might say, Miss McDaniel's

51:28

role in Donald Trump's fake elector scheme

51:31

and her pressuring election officials

51:33

to not certify election

51:36

results while Donald Trump was

51:38

on the phone.

51:39

To be clear, we

51:41

believe NBC News should seek

51:44

out conservative Republican voices

51:46

to provide balance in their election coverage,

51:49

but it should be conservative Republicans,

51:52

not a person who used her position of

51:54

power to be an anti

51:57

democracy election denier,

51:59

and we hope NBC will reconsider

52:02

its decision. It goes without saying

52:04

that she will not be a guest

52:06

on Morning Joe in her capacity as

52:08

a paid contributor. Here's

52:11

why.

52:13

But we don't need to hear Ronald

52:15

McDaniel go over it again.

52:16

But she will not be a guest on MSNBC

52:19

in any way, shape or form as a paid contributor

52:21

because.

52:22

We don't like her. Her

52:25

views aren't acceptable.

52:27

And shortly after that clip, MSNBC

52:29

Bosch Forshida Jones banned Ronal McDaniel

52:31

from appearing on the network. Yes, folks, this

52:34

is the world that we live

52:36

in. All

52:38

of this and by the way, not

52:41

only can these people not handle any

52:43

descent whatsoever, any challenge

52:45

to their worldview?

52:48

Can we be honest with each other here for a second.

52:51

How is it descent to say

52:54

that January sixth prisoners should be locked

52:56

up?

52:56

That's hardly dessent.

52:58

Get me on that show, Get me on

53:00

that network, which I would never take a

53:02

dime from. EMSNBC couldn't

53:05

pay me enough to work on that network. But

53:08

if you had somebody like me on that network, you

53:10

would know true descent. Because

53:12

what Ronald McDaniel is offering right

53:14

now, I got news

53:16

for you that ain't real dissent.

53:19

It's just not okay.

53:22

I've got to talk very very quickly, and

53:24

I know I'm going a little bit over an hour, but for

53:26

that I apologize. I

53:29

gotta talk about sixty minutes last night because

53:31

you talk about the media and how a bunch

53:33

of pansies they are, and oh they hired Ronald McDaniel.

53:36

And oh it gives everybody a booboo, Timmy because

53:38

we don't agree with her, and that makes us sad.

53:42

Well, last night, sixty Minutes ran

53:44

a thirteen minute segment decrying

53:48

how un seriously X

53:50

and this hat tipped Tom Elliott for this information

53:53

from Grabbian on X, he pulls

53:55

a lot of great video, lots of great

53:57

He's a great account to follow. But

54:00

on this sixty minute segment they

54:03

were clearly going after Elon

54:05

Musk and X and talking

54:09

about how X is now a haven for

54:11

misinformation. And of course nothing can

54:13

be further from the truth. But

54:16

Leslie stall disgusting fact

54:19

that she is singled out Jim

54:21

Jordan, who is one of the most effective

54:23

members of the US House of Representatives, especially

54:26

with regards to his

54:28

position as Chairman on House Judiciary.

54:32

But I want you

54:34

to listen at

54:36

what is a brazen smear against

54:38

Elon Musk and Twitter. Now

54:40

X, I'm gonna tell you what this means.

54:43

Listen.

54:44

After Elon Musk took over in

54:46

twenty twenty two, most of its

54:48

fact checkers were fired. Now

54:51

the site is rife with trash talk

54:53

and lies. Little

54:56

would you know that this said to be

54:58

footage from Gaza is really

55:01

from a video game. Eventually,

55:04

x users added a warning label

55:07

in this post. Pictures of real

55:09

babies killed in Israeli strikes

55:11

are falsely dismissed as dolls.

55:14

The toothpaste is out of the tube and we

55:17

have to figure out how to deal with

55:19

the resulting mess.

55:20

Darryl West, a senior fellow of

55:23

Technology Innovation at

55:25

the Brookings Institution, says,

55:27

the clash over what is true

55:30

is fraying our institutions

55:32

and threatening democracies around

55:34

the world.

55:35

Half of the world is voting this

55:38

year, and the world could stick with

55:40

democracy or move towards authoritarianism.

55:43

The danger is disinformation could

55:45

decide the elections in a number of different countries.

55:48

In the US.

55:49

He said blah blah blah

55:51

blah blah blah.

55:52

Blah, and in that full segment, and I'm not going to

55:54

pay you the full segment because it's like thirteen

55:56

minutes long. But Leslie

55:59

Stall, here's the great irony of all of this.

56:03

Leslie Stalls segment was

56:06

filled with misinformation.

56:10

She actually says in this segment, and you

56:12

can go find a Tom Elliott posted the entire.

56:14

Thing on his ex account. Go check him out. He's great.

56:17

But she actually says with

56:20

a straight face that no one is dying

56:22

from the COVID vaccine. That is

56:24

a lie and flies in the

56:27

face of every bit

56:29

of clinical and empirical evidence that is coming

56:31

out over the last six months. It is a

56:33

lie. That is misinformation. She

56:38

also said, and I quote

56:42

no one questions the legitimacy

56:44

of the twenty twenty election, no

56:46

one. That's a quote quote

56:48

around the words no one.

56:52

So once again,

56:56

I don't believe that

56:59

Leslie Star gives a

57:01

damn about X

57:04

being a safe haven for mis

57:06

misinformation.

57:07

Their anger is not about that.

57:11

What these people are angry

57:13

about, the Leslie Stalls of the world,

57:15

these fake journalists of the world. They're

57:17

worry about their strangle stranglehold.

57:21

On the narrative.

57:23

They realize now that

57:26

it's actually harder for them

57:29

to seed misinformation without

57:32

being called out on X. They

57:34

are losing their power every day, and

57:36

there's nothing that they can do about it except

57:40

maybe legislation that

57:42

would target a social media company.

57:45

Hum hm hmm, let me think hard.

57:47

We talked about it on the show what were what

57:49

was it again? Oh, that's right, the TikTok

57:52

ban again. I want

57:54

to clarify for people. I'm perfectly

57:56

fine with standalone legislation which prohibits

57:59

the CCP from collecting and maintaining American

58:01

data. I would sign on and vote yes on a bill

58:03

like that. In a second, I am not okay

58:06

with a bill that is a trojan horse for giving

58:08

the President of the United States and an Attorney

58:10

general unprecedented executive authority

58:13

to label a social media company

58:16

as a foreign adversary directly

58:19

or and I quote from

58:21

the bill, indirectly. So

58:24

when the left believes that me, you,

58:26

your grandmother are

58:29

foreign adversaries or puppets of Putin,

58:33

would you want Joe Biden or

58:36

Merrick Garland? Would you want them

58:38

to have the ability to

58:40

say that, you know, a conservative

58:43

social media company like x

58:45

not conservative.

58:46

Elon Musk is a liberal.

58:48

But to these

58:50

people, foreign adversary just means

58:52

everything that's conservative. Misinformation

58:57

just means a constitutionalist

58:59

world view to these people, do

59:01

you want to give people like this woman

59:04

I'm about to show you more power

59:06

over your life. She's a misinformation researcher,

59:08

whatever that is. And somehow she looks

59:10

exactly like you'd expect her to watch

59:15

and listen.

59:16

Kate Starboard says. The social media

59:18

platforms also often ignored

59:21

the researchers suggestions.

59:23

The statistics I've seen are just for the Twitter platform.

59:25

But my understanding is is that they've

59:28

responded to about thirty percent of the things that we sent

59:30

them, and I think on the majority

59:32

of those they put labels, but just a third,

59:35

just a third.

59:36

Do you suspect that Facebook

59:39

was the same element.

59:40

Yeah, So, first

59:43

of all, it amazes me that people think

59:45

that these democrats think

59:47

that this will end well for them, giving

59:50

any sort of power to these purple

59:53

haired grad student freaks.

59:55

Again, to them, misinformation just

59:57

a constitutionalist worldview.

59:59

But what if it stop?

1:00:01

Eventually these communists attack

1:00:03

and need each other, they turn on

1:00:06

each other. That's exactly where this is leading. But

1:00:08

don't think for a second that this is not the

1:00:10

first salvo in an attack on Elon

1:00:12

Musk, which comes directly on

1:00:15

the heels of the House of Representatives passing

1:00:17

this TikTok band bill. This

1:00:20

is all about making sure

1:00:22

that Elon Musk is seen in a public

1:00:25

in a way that is negative,

1:00:28

so that eventually down the line.

1:00:30

If and this is a big if, if Biden

1:00:33

wins the election in November, god forbid. I

1:00:35

hope he doesn't. He can turn around and say,

1:00:37

look, Elon Musk is indirectly associated

1:00:40

with a foreign adversary and we must

1:00:42

force the sale of Twitter

1:00:45

now x because he's just a

1:00:47

danger to our democracy. In

1:00:49

sixty minutes, is

1:00:52

more than happy to be

1:00:54

their mouthpiece to help that happen.

1:00:58

Listen, I want to talk to you very quickly

1:01:01

about tackling Kamala Harris.

1:01:03

She read a map and I guess she understands

1:01:05

now the

1:01:08

conflict between Israel and Gaza.

1:01:11

I mean hope for us, all right? Wrong,

1:01:15

listen.

1:01:15

We have been clear

1:01:18

in multiple conversations

1:01:20

and in every way that any

1:01:23

major military operation

1:01:26

in Rafa would be a huge

1:01:28

mistake. Let me tell you something. I have studied

1:01:31

the maps. There's nowhere for

1:01:33

those folks to go. And we're looking

1:01:35

at about a million and a half people in Rafa

1:01:37

who are there because they were told to go there, most

1:01:40

of them. And so we've been

1:01:42

very clear that it

1:01:44

would be a mistake to move into

1:01:46

Rafa with any type of military operation,

1:01:49

a mistake. But would there be consequences

1:01:52

if he does move forward, but we're going

1:01:54

to take it one step at a time. But we've been very clear

1:01:56

in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should

1:01:58

happen.

1:01:58

Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from

1:02:01

the United States?

1:02:02

I am ruling out nothing.

1:02:05

So let's get this straight.

1:02:07

Hamas still has American hostages,

1:02:10

and cackling Kamala Harris, our

1:02:13

DEI vice President, thinks

1:02:15

that Israel should suffer consequences

1:02:17

for trying to get those hostages back and taking

1:02:19

the fight to the enemy. I would never advocate

1:02:21

for American boots on the ground frivolously

1:02:24

anywhere, but when we still have Americans

1:02:26

trapped, we have to do everything

1:02:28

that we can to get them back. The

1:02:30

fact that this administration is not

1:02:32

moving heaven and earth to do so

1:02:35

at a minimum out

1:02:37

there on the parapet using

1:02:39

their bully pulpit to say, hey, Hamas,

1:02:42

you have American hostages. If you want

1:02:44

to talk about a diplomatic end

1:02:46

to this hell that you've been living, released

1:02:49

the hostages first, then we can

1:02:51

talk. But cackling Kamala Harris

1:02:53

looked at a map, folks, and she knows

1:02:55

better than all of you.

1:02:56

So I don't know what to say.

1:02:58

She can solve the one

1:03:00

hundred year conflict between

1:03:03

the hundreds of year conflict

1:03:05

between the Jews and the

1:03:07

Palestines because she looked

1:03:09

at a map. How about that? So anyway, folks,

1:03:12

I've kept you over an hour. I

1:03:14

want to thank you for joining me for over an

1:03:16

hour. And I still, even with that, left

1:03:19

some stuff on the cutting room floor. But please,

1:03:21

before you depart, smash

1:03:25

that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video.

1:03:27

Take a couple of seconds and smash it.

1:03:29

It helps the show. Tell your family and your friends

1:03:32

to subscribe to Battleground Live.

1:03:35

This week, making

1:03:37

his first appearance on the show

1:03:41

is a good friend of mine, ed Henry. Right

1:03:43

now, he's slated to come on Wednesday. I

1:03:46

hope that doesn't change, but he's slated

1:03:48

to come on Wednesday. So we've

1:03:50

got ed Henry coming on and then of

1:03:52

course we also have Savage

1:03:55

Rich coming on the show as well.

1:03:58

Huge week, lots of big guests

1:04:00

on deck, and I want you in the

1:04:02

arena with us fighting to save this

1:04:04

country. As always, folks,

1:04:07

I love you, Thank you all

1:04:09

so much for watching. I'll see you tomorrow

1:04:11

night. Amazing show planned God Bless

1:04:14

you all, and God bless this amazing

1:04:16

country that we call home.

1:04:19

Take care and good night.
