It is the eve of America's birthday and 250 never looked better. DC's already kicking off the birthday party. Flyovers have been roaring over the nation's capital all day. The Washington Monument's ready to go too. Repping the Stars and Stripes. And here at the Great American State Fair, it was bustling last night. Flo Rida took the stage and put on a show. The biggest party in America is right here in the capital. It's a little hot, what is it 105? We're not complaining. I drove 1500 miles, a little heavy stuff, hey, look 1500 miles, two busted rims, not finding our place, not having a place to put our little old boot up, and no air conditioning went out on us, and it didn't stop us. That guy came all the way from Texas, but the Lone Star State had its own party. They lit up the skyline with everything from bald eagles to George Washington. America's greatest allies sent some of their finest vessels to New York Harbor to commemorate America 250. So America's celebrating, the world is celebrating. Who's not celebrating? Democrats. They say it sucks here. Who wants to come over here and have a kid right now? People are getting the hell out of here. Even US citizens don't want to live here anymore. Because MAGA America is sad, pathetic, boring, has no entertainment, no culture, no stars. MAGA America sucks, and people don't even want to come here anymore. Who wants to come here and have a kid now? I don't know, Joe, you ever heard of anchor babies? The only people getting the hell out of here? Only Rosie O'Donnell. And if MAGA's so boring, why can't you get their name out your mouth? Look around, all you see is entertainment, music, fireworks, flyovers, the World Cup, Olympics, moon missions, cokeboats going kaboom, fight night at the White House, Baywatch is coming back, Baywatch, espresso martinis, vacations, fight night, the Knicks, LeBron's probably going to Philly, Joy. Taylor Swift apparently is getting married. Oh, the new Ayatollah's gay, happy DEI Friday, a lot going on. But we're not going back to lockdowns. We can't watch any more Netflix. All these people want to do is just go back. What firstly makes you proud, most proud to be in America and be headed to the 250th anniversary? Well, I am very proud to tell you that impeachment is an option to remove a reckless, ruthless lawless president. You're proud to know that that exists. Raising Kane lost his primary, so he's a lame duck and a one-trick pony who hasn't cracked a smile since '79. What are you proud of for July 4th is a layup, but he bricked it. So did Mondani. He gave a little speech today. There was so much hype. They said it was going to be the counterpunch to Trump's Mount Rushmore address. But boy, did he blow it. Sat behind a desk that was facing the wrong way, surrounded himself with a gaggle of stone-faced immigrants and called us racist on our birthday. America in their view is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom. Where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. Mondani was supposed to have energy. He used to have a party vibe, young, fun, looking forward to the future. That's how he won. Today was dark, drab, angry. It was a screed. He just said how much he hates it here. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world. One where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. Mondani surrounded by immigrants who came to the country the right way, then blasting us for deporting immigrants who came here the wrong way. It's July 4th, dude, lighten up. He thinks we're afraid of him. He's trying to act like this big tough guy, like I'm here and we're coming for you. We're not afraid of immigrants. We just don't like commies. And we don't like aliens pouring in and taking over our country. You got to immigrate the right way. And we get to say who comes in and we get to say who leaves. That's the definition of a country, control over your own borders. One thing for sure, Mondani couldn't sniff Barack's jock. Obama lifted us up. This guy, party pooping. He's doing more than criticize the country, he's trying to convert it into something else. Conway on the five nailed it. He's not disagreeing with America, he's trying to destroy it. Hard work made America great, not handouts. The New York steam fitters say we're not rolling with the destroyer. The Democrat party is going so far left and they're supposed to be the working people's party. Right now they are the immigrants, criminals, and everybody that doesn't want to work party. I said we do not align with them when we work hard for our jobs. We want our taxes to go for us or for American citizens, not for illegal immigrants. We don't align with no borders, we don't align with no police, we're not backing them anymore. Wow, communism's making Democrats lose the unions. Communism's supposed to be the workers party, but no one in it works. They're all still in school, leeching off the guys who do. Now if you have an idea, you need people to work, you need people to build it. Democrats used to build big beautiful public works, trains, bridges, roads, museums, monuments, cars. Now they firebomb cars, they tear down statues and they can't lay a foot of track. What the heck happened? We used to be a part of really big ideas, now it just seems all quite stale. How do we get back to these big ideas that are motivating? Yeah, so I'm not speaking for the Democratic party, I'm speaking for one guy that wants to know the urgency is to redeem the dream and to get to that point where America works for Americans, we need to reimagine that Democratic party with big ideas. What's the big idea, Booker? Free everything? Try that. Doesn't work. You're a socialist? Yes. Okay, you know socialism has never worked. What socialism are you in favor for? Here we go, get ready. I believe that... Take a system. A system? Take a system in the world that you're in favor of. That you would rather be our system. I just don't want it to be capitalism. Here we go. Please pick a system, one place, one place that according to your values you would rather do. New York? That's not socialist, that's the most capitalist place in the world. It's not even about ideas, they want a revolution. They want to tear our civilization down. They're takers, they're not makers. They can't even run their own lives, but they want to run yours and they want to run into the ground, because deep down they're depressed. We're not even really having political debates. Unhappy people are just screaming at me. And if you say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast," you're on the hit list. Politician takes Jewish money, done. White guy with a business, they want it. You have a nice place? They don't, hand it over. They break into the country, steal a job, they get to stay. But if your family's been here for a few generations, well, you're on stolen land. You're a colonizer. Have you liked your healthcare? You don't get to keep it. Everybody has to have shoddy healthcare. Now, they sit inside and stare at a screen all day, eat all day, get fat, depressed. We're supposed to pay for their pills and all their stupid little procedures. They even want us to pay for their sex change surgeries. They want us to pay for their bus fare, their groceries, their rent. But they don't want to work. They're still in their 30s. They're still in college, and they're serving coffee. Now, I kind of like how the country is. I don't want a revolution. I want to change things for sure, but I don't want to blow up what works just for revenge. The country's not perfect, but it's pretty close. We got self-driving taxis. You can fly to Maine for a couple hundred dollars. People deliver food to your house when you press a button. There's fresh air everywhere. The lakes, the oceans are clean. Prices are high, but they'll come down. We've been through a lot. We've been through a lot worse. We're not at war. We're not in a depression. College football starts in two months. Everyone's tan. Keep it into a little perspective, all right? Few years ago, we had COVID, high crime, 9% inflation, migrant invasion, and a president asleep at the will. People were shooting at Donald Trump, and the government was lying to us about everything. We've come a long way. How about a little gratitude for America 250? Cory Booker's whining that the Senate is too white. I was the only African American in the Senate, and I just looked around, and I was stunned that it was the least diverse place I had ever worked. We had entire committees that had all white senators and all white staffers on those committees, and immediately I went to work from asking Chuck Schumer to force every Democratic senator to publish their diversity statistics of their staffs. This is literally the most diverse country on the face of the earth in the history of the world. Cory Booker, black guy, in the most exclusive club ever, 100 senators in America. How about Cory write some legislation and set accounting Caucasians, huh? Is this their main cause? Is DEI their only idea? Because that's what it sounds like. The commies are bringing in spicy Latinas, Ethiopian baristas, vegan Dominicans, Michigan Muslims, and even a token white nipple Nazi. Is that what the Democrats want? The whites to be the tokens? First they tried for a white woman president. Didn't work. Then they tried for a black woman president. Didn't work. Now they want a Spanish woman. We will be trying to influence the next presidential primary, and it's still too soon to say how. To say who? Yeah, to say who. You know, I think that many in the organization would be very thrilled if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ended up running. AOC for president. I guess that's what we're doing now. America spent 250 years trying to save the world and ourselves from tyranny and communism, and we're going to nominate her for president. We wouldn't even be celebrating America 250 if the Soviet Union won the Cold War. The communists must be laughing at us, watching us nominate their own comrades. We happen to have on our birthday a sitting president who made billions of dollars, possibly one of our most capitalist presidents ever. Joy Reid says MAGA's not entertaining. Well listen to Trump fat shame Taft. President William Taft threw out the first pitch of baseball. He was a large man, very large, and he loved baseball. He'd go to baseball games, loved the hot dogs at the baseball games. He was our heaviest president, and I have to be careful because I don't want to supersede his record. And a thing like that would be possible if I allowed it to happen for all of you out there watching. Keep yourself in good shape. 47 was on a roll. Have you ever heard of Barack Hussein Obama? Barack Hussein Obama as a basketball player. I don't know if he's a good basketball player. I tend to doubt it. Actually, his favorite sport is golf. Oh, is that right? Yeah, but he won't be in the Masters any time soon. What's Trump's favorite book? Besides, obviously, The Bible and The Art of the Deal. Do you have any time to read for fun these days? So I end up reading mostly newspapers. I usually read stories about myself. And what's the media writing about these days in the newspapers? Well, they said it was going to rain all week, didn't. They're saying the fireworks smoke tomorrow is going to be toxic. So capitalism caused this heat wave. Now, one reason commies hate America, they're too online. If you read the news, you're going to have the blues. You can change how you feel. It's your life. It's your country. It's your destiny. Take control of it. Every single second of life is a decision. Am I going to run or walk? Am I going to read or watch TV? Am I going to ask her out or am I going to shy away? As the great Bobby McFerrin said, don't worry, be happy. America always wins. Americans always win. Why would it be any different this time? We are in a golden age. We have more factories being built today than ever before. We have more people working today than at any time ever in the history of our country. And people making more money than they've ever made. I'm not talking about rich people. I'm talking about people that have like normal or normalized jobs, more money than they've ever made before. 401Ks are up at levels that they've never seen before, up 80 and 90 percent. And the stock market is at an all-time high. So hug your family. Have a drink. Eat some barbecue. Go outside. Look at the sky. If it gets too hot, don't worry. Go inside. Be AC to whatever you want. We're not a communist country. Thank God. And that's the most important thing to do. Thank God.

I would like to hear what your justification was for supporting the dossier that was known to be false Being used as source material in the second ICA. I don't know who put you up to this. Nobody put me up to this or I'm here on my own. I don't know what role you played or who you are, but there's a bunch of bullsh*t you just passed on. I, absolutely. The emails are clear, sir. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. The second question. I think we're going to go over here. We are getting reports from Reuters that there were FBI agents who were questioning people at Langley about Brennan's assertions to me in Congress that the CIA had nothing to do with the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Committee assessment. What do you think are the key components of John Brennan's tenure that these agents ought to be looking into? And that would contribute to broader reforms within the CIA? Oh, I think the most important thing is this notion of weaponization. Weaponization is real. Weaponization has been used against many Americans simply because John Brennan or Barack Obama and John Brennan didn't like a person's personal politics. You and I have had this conversation, I think we both agree, that the fact that John Brennan refuses to take responsibility for his actions legally would allow for the basis of a conspiracy charge in that if the conspiracy is ongoing, if the conspiracy to cover up his actions as the Director of Central Intelligence is ongoing, that ought to reset the statute of limitations literally every single day. And so I think that there's a real conspiracy case here. I'm very happy that a grand jury is looking into it in the southern district of Florida. And I hope something positive comes out of it, positive in the respect that the American people can see that it doesn't matter how senior you are in government, it doesn't matter how important you think you are in Washington, you have to face justice just like everybody else does. There was an email that went around from General Clapper, from General Clapper, to yourself and Hayden. I'm sorry, not Hayden. That's right. You're yourself and Comey, etc. That basically said we all got to get on board with this, otherwise it isn't going to work basically. And I think that that email puts everybody in the crosshairs. I would like to hear what your justification was for supporting the dossier that was known to be false, being used as source material in the second ICA. I don't know who put you up to this. Nobody put me up to this or I'm here on my own. I don't know what role you played or who you are. But there's a bunch of bullsh*t you just passed on. Absolutely. The emails are clear, sir. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. The emails are clear. Next. The second question. Next. I think we're going to go. Next. Next. You can. Next. Next. Look, we can talk about it. Go away. Talk about it in the reception. No, we didn't say that. No, you faxed straight. You said it was likely Russian disinformation. No, we did not. No, you did. No. Read the letter. I'm sorry. Okay. Can I just slide? I know I'm going to get uninvited. Yeah. It'll be after hours. No. No. You're done. Come on. All right. We're going to go over here. Let's go over here for a question. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you very much. Why did you have all these on the 100 right hand side? Why did you say that? Because I can't think. And you misrepresented that. We never said it was disinformation. We said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There's a big difference between influence. No, you don't know that. You don't know. No, we knew. All the hallmarks. All the hallmarks. We didn't say it was Russian disinformation. We said it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. Knowing full well that the media would then fire hose that around and then change that to basically say, yeah, it's Russian disinformation. And when they did that at any point, did you stand up and say, well, actually I didn't say it was Russian disinformation. I said it was all the hallmarks. Nope. You were quiet. You were complicit in the lie being spread.

We'll do one more question, then why hit the road. Thank you Mr. Vice President for taking questions. I'm Phil Hirschkorn from News Center Maine. So it turns out that Maine does have a Medicare Fraud Control Unit. You mentioned that a few minutes ago. I'm wondering, you said Maine could be the third worst state after states like California and Minnesota, which have proven tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and many federal convictions. So far what we've heard about from the federal government in Maine is questionable $45 million in the autism services which you mentioned. We've also heard about $1.7 million in questionable billing by a Somali immigrant run NGO. My question is... It's alright. Now, I appreciate you all standing up for me, but trust me, I've had a lot worse. Hey, we still have innocent and proven guilty in this country. My question is, what else do you got? What else has your task force flagged that we should be concerned about? Because those amounts are a lot, $46 million, $1.7 million, but they don't really compare to California and Minnesota. What else should we expect from your task force? Thank you. Well, let me say a few things. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got biased reporters in all states. It's okay, trust me. I can handle it, but here's what I'd say a few things. Number one, you talk about the scale of the fraud being less in Maine than it is in California. Well, California has a population that's much higher than Maine, so that's not necessarily a fair question. A fair comparison. Number two, we've frankly been at this less long than we have in Maine than in other states, okay? This is something where what we, I would say, you notice a pattern. And you're right, innocent until proven guilty, but what I've noticed is a pattern. That when you see certain types of fraud in certain types of programs, that's the tip of the iceberg. And when I see that autism services fraud in the Medicaid program in the Somali community, but not just that, I see local and state politicians who don't care about policing that fraud, that's the tip of the iceberg. And we're going to find out just how deep that iceberg is, and I suspect, I can't promise, but I suspect we are going to find hundreds of millions of more dollars every single month that we look in the state of Maine, because this is not a state that takes it seriously. And this is the third point and the most important one. I do not actually like having a contentious relationship between the state government and the federal government. We want people to help us find the fraudsters. It goes a lot quicker, it's a lot easier, it requires fewer resources from the federal government, but you find more fraud when you're working with people at the local level. What I find so preposterous about Maine, it's not just that we found tens of millions of dollars of fraud in a relatively small state, it's that we've had no cooperation from the state government. So when I say that the state government, when I say this is the third, maybe the fourth worst state when it comes to fraud, what I mean very simply is that you've got a governor and you've got a seven of bureaucrats that don't care about fraud, and all I'm saying is Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance, we care about fraud, we care about the people of this state, and we care about your tax dollars going to where it's actually supposed to go.

The Iranian excursion could be over in a matter of days, maybe hours. Our boys have been quick, decisive, and lethal. The straits secured, and the regime's teetering. The president says Iran's agreed to his terms. No nukes, hand over the uranium, and knock off the terrorism. Their military's been blown to smithereens, and they can't rearm. That's about as close to an unconditional surrender as you can get. If these are the terms they agreed to. But Democrats say it wasn't worth it. There was really no definition of success that really would have made this a worthwhile endeavor at the cost in lives and treasure for the American people and people throughout the region. Here we are, you know, the president celebrating the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which as we've just said was open before this war started, but without the huge costs that we've incurred in the meantime. U.S. senators are supposed to look out for the national interest. But Van Allen sounds like he's auditioning to be Tehran's top model. Next thing you know, he's going to go have Mark's with the gay Ayatollah. Cha-ching! Operation Epic Fury only lasted 38 days. It was so quick, Democrats blinked and they missed it. It just is a complete sort of bizarre world that we're living in that go to war to get what you had when you went to war. I don't know the logic of this, I think, doesn't really start many people. It's not about what we got, it's about what Iran lost. Their Ayatollah, military, economy, Strait, nuke program, hopefully, proxies, and Arab allies. It's not signed, sealed, and delivered yet, but it looks like that's where things are going, and that's historic. But Obama officials say Trump tapped out because he was spent. You have, I think, among certain military analysts, concern about our deterrence vis-a-vis Russia and China, given the fact that they know our munitions are low. It's another reason, by the way, that there was an interest in wrapping up the war, is because we were running out of some of these systems, including the missile defense systems. America can run out of many things, but we are never running out of ammo, ever. We didn't run out of missiles, we ran out of targets. Somehow, the media thinks the regime is going to rise from the ashes. There does appear to be one significant way in which the Iranians will emerge from this war stronger, and that is the knowledge that they can disrupt the global economy by threatening access to the Strait, a major point of leverage they had not tested in the past. Iran always had the power to terrorize the Strait. They terrorized it. They've been doing it on and off since the '80s. You think they're going to try to do it again after what just happened to them? Doubt it. Iran's been at war with us for 47 years, and Trump basically just ended them in 47 days. First, they said Iran was winning. Then they said we had no plan to open the Strait. And then when we opened the Strait, well, the Strait was open before the war. Do you think the president will get credit for solving a problem he created? I mean, it's like you wake up in the morning, you take a hammer, you smash your face, you look horrible, and then you get great treatment. And in three weeks, oh, you look good again. What was that all about? I understand. Maybe the media isn't used to America winning wars, so they don't know how to cover a victory. But they knew the objectives, and Trump's hitting them. He told you the market would bounce back. It did. He told you it would take six weeks. It did. The president's not asking for a Nobel Peace Prize. Well, actually, he is. And after the war, he's probably never going to get one. He's asking, you just face the facts, and maybe he wants a little credit. It's a little. There was a plan. Iran's neutered. Venezuela's behaving, and now we're energy dominant. The Mideast united. The U.S. dollar stands supreme. And the Navy, we have China surrounded. And the presidents find a Beijing in just a few weeks after beating them to the dark side of the moon. Even Stevie Wonder can see it.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been hit with two new criminal referral claims. The claims are coming from the Trump administration accusing James of suspected homeowners insurance fraud for an application to a Florida-based insurer tied to properties linked to her. The referrals have been reportedly sent to the U.S. attorneys in Florida and Illinois, now for review.

So just got word that the FBI is in Atlanta, Georgia conducting a search warrant and the Fulton County election office and I have spoken to a number of individuals over the last couple of weeks have not spoken about this publicly, but who have been called in by the FBI questioning and was aware that the FBI was here do not have any information with the search warrant is related to other than Fox News is reporting is related to the 2020 election. And I'd like to remind you that the reason that we, some of us specifically Bert Jones, Brandon beach, William Ligon and myself, the first four that stood up and called for a special session because of the legislature could do this back in 2020. I'm glad that we finally will be getting to the bottom of whatever it was that happened in 2020 thanks to the federal government wish that we could have done it much, much earlier. We'll keep you posted on what we know, but the FBI is here and hopefully we'll get the truth soon.
