TRUMP ON THE WAR- HEGSETH ON THE WAR - POLITICAL NEWS LIVE

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-07

[00:00:15]Hi.

[00:00:18]How are you?

[00:00:20]It is 11:29 on Thursday, April 30th.

[00:00:29]I am Gloria Moraga.

[00:00:31]This is political news.

[00:00:34]I hope that you were all well.

[00:00:36]How are you doing?

[00:00:38]On the day before Friday.

[00:00:41]I didn't know what to do about my Trump sound bites because I had a sound bite.

[00:00:51]Trying to fix my hair.

[00:00:52]Uh and then I decided not to use it because it was mainly Trump complaining about Spain and Italy and Germany and um so I'm I'm going with another bite.

[00:01:10]But I I don't like to always just use sound bites where he's confused.

[00:01:16]Uh even though he's confused a lot.

[00:01:19]So, we'll see how this goes.

[00:01:22]I am just have so much information about the Congress.

[00:01:28]But I think we should start with the war.

[00:01:31]This article is in The Guardian.

[00:01:34]Hexcath dangerously exaggerated US military triumph in Iran, Senate hears.

[00:01:41]Senator Jack Reed says at the hearing today, Thursday. So, uh Hexcath's on Capitol Hill 2 days in a row. They usually do this.

[00:01:51]One day in the House of Representatives, the next day in the United States Senate. So, he was in the United States Senate today.

[00:01:58]Jack Reed says that Defense Secretary failed to give Trump accurate picture of war in Iran.

[00:02:06]And here's Hexcath looking stern.

[00:02:08]And if I go click in, if you guys will uh hang with me, I'm going to click into the uh article.

[00:02:15]I have sound from Hexcath talking about the cost of the war, but here's um let's get let's get into this just a little bit.

[00:02:23]Uh Hexcath dangerously exaggerated US military triumph in Iran, and then I'm going to go down a little bit.

[00:02:30]Um As with previous days' appearance before the equivalent committee in the House of Representatives, the hearing in today in the Senate quickly devolved into confrontation over the war in Iran, which has become stalemated after 8 weeks of fighting and seeing the regime in Tehran close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. Now, I have more on that coming up in just a second.

[00:02:58]Protesters briefly interrupted the hearing says Hexcath made an opening statement. Shouts of war criminal and despicable were heard before the protesters were expelled and proceed seedings resumed.

[00:03:11]Reed immediately went on the offensive accusing Trump of going to war without a coherent strategy while declining to make a case to the American people or to consult Congress.

[00:03:24]I have more on that coming up.

[00:03:27]But his statement reserved the fiercest personal criticism for Hexcath. Now, this is Senator Reed talking.

[00:03:35]Who stood accused of failing to give Trump essential information or advice while pursuing a personal agenda as service personnel were injured or killed in battle. Now, this is Senator Jack Reed accusing Hexcath. So, this is all a quote. I'm not saying this. This is being reported in The Guardian.

[00:03:58]And this is a quote from Reed. The problem with your statements, Mr. Secretary, is that they are dangerously exaggerated, Reed said.

[00:04:06]Iran's hardline regime remains in place.

[00:04:10]It still retains stockpiles of enriched uranium and its nuclear program remains viable.

[00:04:19]I am concerned that you've been telling the president what he wants to hear instead of what he needs to hear.

[00:04:27]Bold assurances of success are a disservice to both the commander-in-chief and the troops who risk their lives based on them. Our military has performed heroically, but military force without a sound strategy is a path to long-term defeat.

[00:04:47]Reed also seized on Hexcath's often Hexcath's Hexcath's often belliose bellicose rhetoric in which he has disparaged the needs for rules of engagement and how to pursue Iranians. No mercy.

[00:05:04]Too often you've made dangerous statements that are counterproductive to the mission you've boasted about, he said. Quote no stupid rules of engagement just days after hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls were tragically killed in a missile strike, you've made troubling statements about showing no mercy and no quarter to Iranians.

[00:05:25]Orders that could constitute war crimes.

[00:05:30]So, that is this article.

[00:05:33]And I'm going to go now to um I have a couple of Hexcath bites.

[00:05:41]Let's go to uh Al Jazeera because it kind of addresses what is going on here.

[00:05:53]Iran's anger.

[00:05:55]Iran says US siege of ports intolerable and then Trump said war might resume.

[00:06:02]So, he was asked that about he was asked about the war resuming today when he was in the Oval Office signing something.

[00:06:10]And uh Fox News asked him, "Do you think you might, you know, start bombing again?" Or So, here's here's that sound bite, but here's here's what start the sound bite kind of starts off. I just picked up at the end of it where Trump is talking about the economy and how great the stock market is doing.

[00:06:34]And how great um you know, people who own stock are doing. And I And I I just like right before I started there was there was an article about how much money oil companies are making as we all suffer through higher gas prices. And I'm I'm actually looking for the article now cuz when I saw it, I became enraged.

[00:07:07]And it's like, of course.

[00:07:09]Of course, this is it. This is what this is all about.

[00:07:14]Um oh, here it is.

[00:07:16]Here it is right here.

[00:07:18]I mean, like you guys I'm just It This makes me sick.

[00:07:28]Blockbuster oil company profits revive calls for windfall tax. I mean, you know, European nations imposed temporary taxes in the 2022 energy shock when Russia invaded Ukraine. But whether they can be effectively help households is up for debate. But here But here I mean the story is for oil and gas companies, it's been a profitable war.

[00:07:55]The energy shock caused by the conflict in Iran, missile attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Persian Gulf was critically the halt of shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and produced a spectacular bonanza as energy prices have soared.

[00:08:12]They're making billions.

[00:08:16]They're making billions.

[00:08:18]And none of this has really hit us, but yet we're still paying higher gas prices and the bad part hasn't even begun.

[00:08:28]Okay, hi.

[00:08:30]I was saying hi on the chat.

[00:08:32]I'm just going to say, I you know, YouTube says make sure you welcome everybody. I just got right to it.

[00:08:38]Welcome everybody.

[00:08:40]My name is Gloria Moraga. This is my channel, political news. I am a political news long-time reporter uh for years and years. It's how I made my living. Worked in Washington, D.C.

[00:08:51]for 10 years.

[00:08:53]Worked uh covered politics as a young reporter.

[00:08:58]Uh My areas were like agriculture when I was younger.

[00:09:03]So, and I still follow what's going on and I've got more on the ag bill that was passed by the House today.

[00:09:09]Um then I became a political reporter back in California when I wanted to come back and be closer to my dad who's getting you know, on in years.

[00:09:17]So, that's kind of my area. This is my area.

[00:09:21]And started the channel and just have uh kind of branched out now to do just straight political news because these are times. These are strange political times. Here is Trump. I think I put a stop in the middle of the sound bite because he he he starts out talking about wow, what a great economy. And yeah, you guys, yeah, great economy for some people and for the stock market if you you know, do all of that. I mean, if you have a 401K, yes.

[00:09:58]But, um he starts out talking about that, but then he segues into "Sorry, I had to start a war even though we had this great economy.

[00:10:09]So, so here's the soundbite."

[00:10:11]And then I said to Kevin, "Sorry about this, Kevin, but we have to we have to put out a fire.

[00:10:16]And the fire is taking place in the lovely country of Iran.

[00:10:20]And [clears throat] they want to have a nuclear weapon. And if we didn't use this beautiful See that plane right there? That beautiful B-2 bomber.

[00:10:26]It looks small there, but it's actually quite large.

[00:10:28]>> [laughter] >> It doesn't look very powerful there, but it's quite quite large, actually. We ordered Actually, we ordered 25 more of them, the updated version.

[00:10:38]All built in America, which is very nice, right? But uh if we didn't have that B-2 bomber, if we didn't go in and do what we did, we obliterated that nuclear capacity of theirs. And So, here's where it gets really confusing.

[00:10:55]He's talking about the bomber.

[00:10:57]He's talking about the strikes last year.

[00:11:00]And we obliterated them.

[00:11:02]So, if he obliterated them, why did we have to start this war?

[00:11:07]But, here, I'll let him go on cuz he segues into Venezuela.

[00:11:11]So, they never they didn't get their nuclear bomb.

[00:11:15]If we didn't do that attack, should have been done long before I came along by other presidents or by another country or something.

[00:11:22]But, it should have been done long before I came along. But, uh they are in uh very bad shape.

[00:11:29]And they've got nothing going, including leadership. I mean, you know, their leaders are gone.

[00:11:34]Now, they have a whole new set Their first string leaders are gone. Their second string leaders are gone. Now, we're dealing with their third string.

[00:11:41]But, uh we'll see what happens.

[00:11:44]Uh it's been an amazing It's been an amazing period of time between We're at war.

[00:11:52]We're It's costing us billions of I mean, I I I always talk about money, but I I cuz I don't want to start talking about all the deaths because I don't want to cry.

[00:12:07]You know, but but what it It's been an amazing time. No, it hasn't.

[00:12:13]And Venezuela >> [clears throat] >> and where we're doing great. We're getting along with them great. We're working And we paid for the I put a block a stop there because it's like, why he's he he goes right into Venezuela because he thought we were going to go in, and maybe it was a Hexset thing, like what I was talking about the beginning of livestream.

[00:12:35]You know, Hexset maybe lied to him.

[00:12:38]And then I And then I'm reading that, and I'm thinking, "Wow, they're setting Hexseth up, you know, to get the blame. That's That's what's happening. But, why would a Democrat do that?

[00:12:50]So, see, it's all so, you know, dirty.

[00:12:54]And then we've got these windf- oil profits. Windfall oil profits.

[00:13:02]Uh so, here he goes. So, I put the block there. So, he's talking about Venezuela, and now he starts talking about back to Iran. the attack many times over. The attack, something you've never heard before, probably. I always used to say, "To the victor belong the spoils."

[00:13:18]But, we paid for the attack, which is always ex- All right, there. He's still talking about Venezuela cuz he says, "We attacked, and it was just And now to the victor go the spoils." Like, we're getting the oil. And then he says, "Well, we're kind of working together on it."

[00:13:33]Um So, is he Did he attack Iran for the oil?

[00:13:38]expensive.

[00:13:40]But, it was a less than 1-day attack. It was actually a 45-minute attack. And that's a good You know, they have a good military in Venezuela, but this they did not expect that and that and that and that. Other than that, >> [laughter] >> but when these suckers come at you at 2,500 mph at 25 ft off the ground, you say, "This is not what I bargained for. This is no good." Anyway, so uh and now, you know, Venezuela was amazing, but now we're we're doing Essentially, it's larger, but we're doing essentially the same thing in Iran.

[00:14:16]No, we're not. We're not doing the same thing in Iran that we did in Venezuela.

[00:14:21]Can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

[00:14:23]And their economy is crashing. The blockade is incredible. The power of the blockade is incredible. They're not getting any money from oil.

[00:14:31]And hopefully it can be worked out very soon. Yeah. Mr. Iran is proving to be very stubborn. The talks seem like they are stalled. Are you getting antsy to break the ceasefire? Well, I mean, I don't know what to say about it cuz really nobody knows what the talks are except myself and a couple of other people. Uh they want to make a deal badly.

[00:14:55]And we have a problem because nobody knows for sure who the leaders are. It's a little bit of a problem, you know? The leaders have been wiped out along with their military. Almost all of their military.

[00:15:07]I mean, think of it. 159 ships was their total navy navy.

[00:15:12]159 ships are gone. They're underwater there.

[00:15:16]Way below sea level. Sea level is It's big difference. Pretty deep waters over there, too. So, um I don't know that we need it. We might need it.

[00:15:31]We might need it. We might need to bomb more. And you're absolutely right, Cranky Mullet.

[00:15:38]They installed Yes, according to Trump and Hexseth, they killed the first two wave of leaders in Iran, but the leaders that are now in charge are are hardliners.

[00:15:54]They're much more hardliners. And here I mean, here's the headline. Iran says the siege of ports is intolerable. They're really angry about that, and they want it stopped.

[00:16:04]And then Trump I mean, here's the other thing. Trump says soaring US petrol prices will drop like a rock after the Iran war. But, there's no you know, nobody knows how the talks are going. Only Trump knows.

[00:16:18]And they want to make a deal bad. And every time he says that, they say, "No, we don't." "No, we don't."

[00:16:24]Um So, here's here's Hexseth. And he was basically um just as angry today as he was yesterday.

[00:16:32]And um I'll play the first bite. And And then I got I got two bites from Hexseth, but one is on a different on another topic than the war. It's about troops and the polls because of what's happened with the Voting Rights Act. So, here is uh here's Hexseth today being questioned. Why do you continue to prosecute a war that the American people aren't behind?

[00:16:59]Uh first of all, I appreciate the opportunity for that closed session where we had a unsurprisingly very different discussion than we have here with the cameras on.

[00:17:07]Um we support this >> Because my job is to represent New Yorkers, and I can tell you when I talk to them all across my state, they are furious.

[00:17:17]And they expect me to explain to them why they are furious. And Senator, when I talk to Americans, and especially when I talk to the troops, they are grateful for a president who has the courage to take on this threat after 47 years of what Iran has done targeting and killing Americans, and what it would mean to the world if Iran's nuclear ambitions were actually achieved. So, the question I would ask to you and to others is, what is the cost of a nuclear-armed Iran? What is the cost You know, that is a rhetorical question. That's your talking point. That's your talking point.

[00:17:47]But, the truth is, they don't want war coming to this shore. And when you do a decapitation operation, the likelihood is going to be exchange in the United States. There's no evidence that we are safer because of this war. We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to imminently attack this country in any way, shape, or form. So, I disagree with your assessment that we were under threat. And you have not Do you not believe them when they say death to America?

[00:18:12]Listen, our adversaries use rhetoric all the time.

[00:18:16]What I'm concerned about is we are not safer, and I would just like to know why you have not sought the support of the American people. And three out of five Americans are against this war today.

[00:18:29]Um I believe we do have the support of the American people, and we have briefed regularly what this mission looks like and why it's a critically important that we undertake it. And I would remind you and this group that we're 2 months in to an effort. And many congressional Democrats, as I pointed out, want to declare defeat 2 months in.

[00:18:48]Iraq took how many years? Afghanistan took how many years? And they were nebulous missions that people went along with. This is different. This is a defined mission set that we have had great success in pursuing against a determined enemy who seeks nuclear weapons. And I'm And I'm I'm proud of the opportunity to remind the American people cuz they believe in it as well.

[00:19:07]that the American people are not supporting this war. You don't care But, the American people and their The American people are quite smart. They understand and see through spin. They know that a regime that says death to America, that seeks nuclear weapons, and the ability to deliver Did they lie about the range of their missiles?

[00:19:22]>> How much more are we asking the American people to pay for this war? Right now, do you want it a billion dollars a day?

[00:19:26]Do you want it 2 billion dollars a day?

[00:19:27]You're asking for 200 billion dollars more to fund this war and to make sure we have a We didn't ask for 200 billion dollars. I don't know where you got that number from, Senator. I think you got it from the news, which you should be careful where you We didn't 200 billion dollars. I don't know where you got that number from, Senator. I think you got it from the news, which you should be careful where you what you read in the news.

[00:19:44]Yeah, be careful what you read in the news cuz he used to be Or he was a weekend host.

[00:19:52]A can part-time host.

[00:19:54]Um yeah, you know, I mean honestly, I'll just be honest with you guys. I didn't even want to run Hegseth sound bites because it's the same old blah blah blah thing, but I thought it was interesting.

[00:20:06]You know, the article some of the articles I've been reading that they're kind of setting Hegseth up that this is all his fault. And you I mean you hear Trump Trump's kind of going, "Oh, we might have to" I mean Trump's declaring a victory already.

[00:20:18]So, but we might have to start bombing, but I don't think so.

[00:20:21]So, um the other because if if anybody follows me and you please subscribe and please uh support my channel, you know, I'm a real uh cheapskate.

[00:20:34]I really am a fiscal conservative. I don't believe that I think we spend way too much of our money and it's wasted on BS.

[00:20:44]But, this war is costing us a fortune.

[00:20:48]And what's happening right now with this with the the ports being blocked is really causing pain for every nation in the world. And here is um honestly, I thought this was the he This is like the cutest little man.

[00:21:06]And I know he's he's he's the UN Secretary General.

[00:21:11]But, um what he said his message is important, but also he's just so seems so dear here.

[00:21:17]>> The Middle East crisis is lumbering into its third month.

[00:21:21]Despite the fragile ceasefire, the consequences grow dramatically worse with each passing hour.

[00:21:30]I'm deeply concerned about the curtailment of navigational rights and freedoms in the area of the Strait of Hormuz, impeding the delivery of oil, gas, fertilizer, and other critical commodities, disrupting energy, transport, manufacturing, and food markets, and strangling the global economy.

[00:21:50]As with every conflict, the whole of humanity is paying the price, even if a few are reaping huge profits.

[00:21:58]The pain will be felt for a long time to come. These consequences are not cumulative. They are exponential.

[00:22:05]And the longer this vital artery is choked, the harder it will be to reverse the damage, and the higher the cost to humanity.

[00:22:15]Developing countries will be hit hardest as crushing debt impedes their ability to cope with lost jobs, deeper poverty, and more hunger.

[00:22:27]The crisis has already locked in losses for months to come.

[00:22:32]And every day that ships cannot move escalates these costs and amplifies the reverberations across the global economy.

[00:22:41]And so my message to all parties is clear.

[00:22:44]Navigational rights and freedoms must be restored immediately in line with the Security Council resolution 2817.

[00:22:55]Open the strait. Let all ships pass. Let the global economy breathe again.

[00:23:02]Open the strait. Let the ships pass, and let the global economy breathe again. I pulled a little sound bite and just had the only those words only.

[00:23:12]But, um I don't think I I think I forgot to put it in my line of here.

[00:23:17]Ah, jiminy Christmas. I'm sorry if my uh yeah, I'll order McDonald's.

[00:23:24]I'll have a large diet Coke.

[00:23:26]Um I'm sorry the mic you know, I had problems with my mic earlier and I may have you know, in the in Windows 11 not pumped the volume up all the way. So, I'll just check on that after this live and I'll I'll work on it.

[00:23:42]Um Yeah, no. Uh we always need to pay the troops.

[00:23:49]We always I'm I'm talking there's a lot of I covered the Pentagon for 10 years.

[00:23:55]And there's a lot of waste, okay?

[00:23:57]There's a lot of waste.

[00:23:59]Um But, we should never ever shortchange our troops.

[00:24:04]So, in light of uh the situation with the Voting Rights Act, and I got some comments on the Voting Rights Act today that oh now things are going to be equal now that we the Supreme Court's overturned the Voting Rights Act. No, no. It's not. It's not going to be equal.

[00:24:25]But, um there is a lot of stories on on the Voting Rights Act today.

[00:24:36]And and gerrymandering and all the stuff that's going to go on.

[00:24:40]And what states are going to do and what uh you know, And so, Hegseth today was asked about sending troops to the polls because Trump has said that he regrets not seizing voting machines. And he's he is he you know, remember Tulsi Gabbard went and was there and seized. So, here's here's a sound bite of Seth Hegseth.

[00:25:05]Hegseth being questioned about trendy sending troops to the polls. I'll spit it out.

[00:25:11]Here we go. The president has been very clear. He said in the State of the Union that essentially if his side doesn't win, then the election was rigged. He's asked for voter rolls for 29 different states. He just asked for Detroit's votes um or ballots.

[00:25:29]Um and we know that in 2020 he wrote an executive order that he didn't sign um that said um to the US military, to the Secretary of Defense, you should go and seize ballots and voting machines.

[00:25:43]A few months ago he said that he regretted that he ever that he didn't sign that executive order. So, the US military has never been deployed.

[00:25:53]I you miscorrectly uh incorrectly said yesterday that they were deployed during different elections. Governors deployed them under their authorities, but the federal um government has never put the uniform military at our polls during World War II, right after 9/11. Um we've never had to do that. So, Secretary Hegseth, if the president who regrets not signing that executive order to the then SecDef in 2020 asks you to seize ballots or voting machines in states during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say no, or will you salute and do his bidding?

[00:26:33]Um Senator, I didn't get a chance to answer the front part of your question, which uh you know, there was a lot of deferred maintenance under the Biden administration that needed to be addressed cuz the world was in chaos when President Trump was elected because of >> Well, again, that's another >> important thing. It's what's happening >> It's yet another gotcha hypothetical, which is your specialty.

[00:26:53]>> Do we have an executive order under the Biden administration in 2024?

[00:26:58]It's not a hypothetical. I refuse to accept. You give that answer all the time. You and I have done this dance before. Get over it, okay? In 2020, he he's the president, your boss, the guy you're performing for right now, told the journalists this year that he wished he signed that executive order to your predecessor. And your predecessor said publicly, "Thank God I he we didn't actually go forward with it." What are you going to do? You're the guy here in the seat. It's not hypothetical. Tell the American people, will you deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines? Are you are you accusing me of performing cuz you're performing for cable news right now?

[00:27:36]>> Dude. Dude, but just answer the question.

[00:27:38]>> we have very It's a hypothetical. By the way, in 2024 under the Biden administration, 15 states did deploy Under their governors' authority when their governors asked for >> Joe Biden say about that?

[00:27:48]>> I don't think anything because he needed them for cybersecurity and for COVID.

[00:27:52]Trump did it, too. They under Trump.

[00:27:54]But, it was not the federal decision. It was those governors of the states under their authorities, okay? It's never been done in our history. Please stand up for the Constitution. Do not send uniform military to our poll.

[00:28:07]So, he never answered the question just to make it clear. He never answered the question if he's going to send the military, which I mean, you know, who knows what's going to happen because what now with the Voting Rights Act and Republicans all over the country, Republican governors are, you know, going to change all their maps.

[00:28:28]And I mean, it's kind of late to be doing this, but they're going to do it.

[00:28:31]They've already they've already started doing it. So, that's what's going on with the war.

[00:28:39]And um yeah, I'll just say again, I am a fiscal conservative, but I support our troops 100% and we should not ever ever ever, you know, s- scrimp on safety or anything that our troops need, including their pay.

[00:28:57]Um And speaking of which, so, um the House finally passed the and I'm looking I pulled up a story here on it. The House fin- finally passed the uh Homeland Security budget. And Trump it went right to Trump's uh desk and he signed it.

[00:29:20]But, it's without ICE and Border Patrol funding.

[00:29:27]So, Democrats won that one. But, if you listen to Mike Johnson, Democrats didn't win. He won.

[00:29:34]And I love this because Johnson was just uh I have two groups of sound bites from Johnson. One is uh he he he's lying about about this.

[00:29:45]And then the other one is a kind of an over-overview of uh some of the things that they they passed today. And they were in a rush to pass stuff, guess why?

[00:29:54]Guess why?

[00:29:55]They're going on another break.

[00:29:57]They're going on a 2-week break. I mean, how many freaking breaks can these guys take?

[00:30:02]Here's uh Johnson lying about um the budget. I mean, the the good news, the budget for Homeland Security, the good news is uh all the other all the other departments that need their money will get their money.

[00:30:18]Except for ICE and Border Patrol. And it's okay because ICE and Border Patrol have an abundance of funds. They are over-overfunded.

[00:30:29]And they have enough funds to last from now until the end of the fiscal year.

[00:30:33]And they are actually funded beyond this fiscal year.

[00:30:37]But Johnson's calling this a win, even though it's a loss for him because um they passed a budget reconciliation bill.

[00:30:45]But he's acting like this is a done deal. But when you pass a budget reconciliation bill, it's not it there's still more negotiation that has to take place. It's not final.

[00:30:54]So, here he is on the on the on the budget. Here he goes. Johnson lies.

[00:30:57]>> Isn't this a solution on DHS that could have been passed days or weeks ago? Why don't they take this vote? It couldn't, and here's why. You heard me trash the bill when it came over the first time because it literally was drafted in the middle of the night. It was about 2:00 in the morning when they came up with the final language, and it was haphazardly drafted. And what it would do is, of course, orphan and leave out immigration enforcement and Border Patrol. If you might remember, in 2024, the number one issue in the election was securing that border. House Republicans did it. The Trump administration, the president did that. And Democrats are upset about it. So, they wanted to leave that out. They wanted to orphan these two critical agencies that are under the umbrella of Homeland Security. I remind everybody on the hill all the time, the Department of Homeland Security is the third largest department of the federal government. It has critical responsibilities. FEMA and and the Secret Service Notice he, too, is just tap-dancing all around the issue.

[00:31:49]Service and TSA and all these other agencies. But the the the Democrats said, "We'll do some of that, but we're not going to fund border security, and we're not going to fund immigration enforcement." That's absurd, and we threw a fit, and we had to. We held the Homeland bill, the underlying funding bill, because we had to ensure that they could not isolate and eliminate those two critical agencies. We are getting those done now. We passed the resolution first. That was critically important for us to do to ensure that we're going to protect the homeland, even though Democrats are unwilling to do it. So, now that that box is checked, we allowed them to to proceed and go through with the rest of it. This will relieve pressure from the Department of Homeland Security. Secretary Mayorkas, who I've spoken to in in the last couple of hours, will be greatly relieved. The president will, the administration will.

[00:32:32]We were not going to have lines at TSA.

[00:32:33]Everybody will get their paychecks now.

[00:32:34]We'll get moving forward. And then we will finish the work and finally get, again, for 3 years with no crazy Democrat reforms, we will fund Border Patrol and Immigration Enforcement as soon as we return for the work session when that bill is finalized. As soon as we >> When we return.

[00:32:50]When we return. He's going to take a 2-week break.

[00:32:53]So, yeah. So, he lost, but the good news is it uh something passed, and so uh uh TSA and Secret Service and others are going to get are going to get their funding. And um and Border Patrol and Homeland Secur and and ICE have enough money. They're not They're not destitute. They're still working.

[00:33:17]They're still busting heads.

[00:33:19]Um So, while we're talking about Secret Service, I'll jump instead of doing the farm bill next. There's a new video out.

[00:33:27]In fact, I was just watching um Political Punk. And he's got a lot more video than I than I pulled. Um It's just clearer video of the shooter, which go comes back to the issue of what's going on with the Secret Service.

[00:33:45]And maybe, you know, Susie Wild, who is the um president's chief of staff, maybe somebody else should be in charge of the Secret Service.

[00:33:55]Because um And I I I don't mean to denigrate her because she is uh on a leave of absence right now because she's got um breast cancer, and she's fighting that right now.

[00:34:07]So.

[00:34:08]But I don't know. He I'll let's start I'll just play the uh new video of shooter. Here So, here he is.

[00:34:16]This is um the Washington Hilton where the Correspondents Dinner was taking place. This is Cole Allen.

[00:34:23]He's walking down the hallway. And he's he's walking around uh you know, just the hallway, and then in a second they'll switch to another scene where he uh charges. So, here here they are. What was striking to me was, "Wow, they're taking down the mags."

[00:34:40]They're taking them down.

[00:34:42]And here he is back here. He kind of walks into this room.

[00:34:47]And then he'll come charging through in a second. But watch all the watch all the Secret Service and all the cops all pull their weapons, which is they should.

[00:34:56]Um But he wasn't hit. With that which when this Here.

[00:35:07]I guess off camera he was tackled. So, there was no need, and there must there obviously there were other um agents right by the doors.

[00:35:17]Uh and then here come more. And then here they show the same video again, but in slow motion.

[00:35:24]Um and they're here they're taking. So, they're kind of they kind of are are relaxing uh if you start to take security stuff down.

[00:35:32]But the president was in the room.

[00:35:35]However, uh just so everybody knows again, I'll say it. I I've been at this hotel many, many times. More times than I care to think of, and they still have ugly carpet. Um This is on the second floor.

[00:35:50]The the uh event was on the third floor. So, it it's um the lobby.

[00:35:58]And then there's a one flight down from the lobby, and then there's a third flight down. The ballroom is on the bottom floor.

[00:36:07]So, this wasn't even the main room to go into the uh to the ballroom.

[00:36:12]And I'll just I don't know why I stopped it. Here he comes. Slow mo.

[00:36:17]He's got a suit on, and his weapon out, and I don't know if this guy got got hit.

[00:36:27]But, you know, one um Secret Service agent got shot.

[00:36:34]So, yeah, he looks like he's um he might be injured.

[00:36:38]And this is um this is the latest video of the uh shooter, and it it's it's close circuit.

[00:36:48]Close circuit video.

[00:36:50]Um So, one of the bills that passed today, and um I'm going to tell you, when you talk about money, there is money in the farm bill. Okay?

[00:37:04]And here was the issue.

[00:37:07]This E15.

[00:37:09]The E15 was included in the farm bill.

[00:37:13]And in order to get the farm bill passed today, and it still has to go to the Senate. But it did pass the House, which is a big deal.

[00:37:20]Um They had to take the E15 stuff out of the um out of the farm bill.

[00:37:29]And this is farm progress.

[00:37:32]But I've also got uh here This is Politico. That's a picture from yesterday. House passes a GOP-led farm bill.

[00:37:40]Um the vote was 224 to 200 after months of uncertainty about whether Republican leaders would be able to secure enough support. And it's um because of that E15 um measure that was in the that was in the bill.

[00:37:58]Republican leaders agreed to tack onto the farm bill a plan to allow year-round sales of E15 earlier this week. That's what was causing the problem. Leading to an uprising of oil state lawmakers who oppose the E15 plan.

[00:38:16]Leaders agreed to decouple the farm bill and the E15 in the coming weeks and hold a stand-alone vote on uh May 13th. So, that's going to come up on May 13th.

[00:38:27]And the E15 is ethanol.

[00:38:31]Okay? Ethanol uh farmers support cuz it's the farmers who grow corn.

[00:38:39]But the problem with E 15, uh they want it included in all um fuel.

[00:38:49]The problem is it destroys the environment.

[00:38:54]But they want it because it means big bucks for uh corn growers and and others. Not just corn growers. Just like So, that's that's what's going on with the farm bill. So, they stripped out they stripped out E15.

[00:39:10]And um they passed uh the surveillance act. I think I told you guys about that yesterday. Here's Johnson on the farm bill and other things that happened today. And it's just kind of an overall sound bite on what's happening on Capitol Hill.

[00:39:24]Despite unrelenting predictions from many of you today in the press that we would fail this week, we did exactly the opposite. I'm really glad to tell you that House Republicans pulled together and delivered some major pieces of legislation and huge priorities for the country in the last few days. Let me give you a couple of examples. We passed the farm bill, as you know, a major achievement, delivering real relief and certainty for our rural America and for all Americans.

[00:39:48]This is the first time Congress has done that since 2018. Been quite a while, but we got it done. We've also made certain that the House is going to be able to have an up or down vote on a date certain on the E15 issue, which is, you know, is a big priority for a lot of our members here in the chamber.

[00:40:04]And most importantly of all of all the the things we got done this week, we got the budget resolution passed. This is very, very important because that will ensure that border security and immigration enforcement will continue today and well into the future. Despite Democrat attempts to reopen our borders and protect criminal illegal aliens from removal.

[00:40:26]So, again, he's lying cuz honestly, they've they're already funded. They were funded in the big, beautiful bill.

[00:40:35]So, this is just his way of reiterating and accusing Democrats of not supporting border security, which is not true. And I I'm going to say it again. We need solid, good legislation, immigration reform legislation, including border security legislation.

[00:40:56]And they we don't we haven't had it.

[00:40:58]They don't pass it.

[00:41:00]They're just incompetent and they should all be fired for not having a solid, good immigration immigration bill that will help our farmers and help our ranchers and our uh those who depend on farm labor in this country. So, uh it's just something that we need to do.

[00:41:26]And we had it. It was it was a good bill written by a Republican.

[00:41:31]And uh Trump killed it cuz he wanted to use this as as a as an issue to win uh election.

[00:41:38]And here Johnson lies again and he talks about how border security was the number one issue. It It was not the number one What the number one issue is is the economy. It was the economy.

[00:41:48]And look where we are now. We're in big trouble.

[00:41:51]So, I I don't >> That result of passing our reconciliation bill is that ICE and CBP are funded for 3 years and Democrats got absolutely nothing for their political charade and shenanigans out of that.

[00:42:02]It's not true. We repeatedly offered in good faith, I want to point out, remind everybody to negotiate on funding these agencies, but ultimately, the sad and actually shocking truth is there's not a Democrat in the House or the Senate that that believes border security and immigration enforcement should exist at all. By word and deed, Democrats have made clear their desire to defund both of those critical functions of our government.

[00:42:27]We also passed uh the FISA reauthorization to ensure that the administration is armed with the best possible intelligence to continue eliminating terrorists and defending our homeland. We pray that the Senate can now pass our our FISA bill as quickly as possible and you know they're deliberating over that right now. Now, I just want to say this, sometimes the process around here is cumbersome.

[00:42:48]That's the way this works, but in spite of our razor-thin, historically small majority, House Republicans continue to deliver for the American people. We will continue to do that for the remainder of the year and that is a large reason why we are going to win the midterms so that the grown-ups can stay in charge here.

[00:43:05]He's a grown-up? He's the grown-up? If he's the grown-up, we're really in trouble.

[00:43:11]The guy doesn't know what he's doing.

[00:43:14]I say that.

[00:43:15]It's my personal opinion as a political reporter for many, many years and covered many speakers. He is like the horrible speaker.

[00:43:22]Cuz the speaker's supposed to The one job the speaker has is to schedule legislation and work with Democrats and Republicans to get legislation passed. He doesn't do it. He doesn't do it.

[00:43:35]Uh And that you know, back to the Supreme Court, okay, people just just understand.

[00:43:41]They misunderstand what the Civil Rights Bill does or did.

[00:43:49]It It was designed to level the playing field.

[00:43:55]Black voters, minority voters were in the minority.

[00:44:01]And this was a way to give black candidates and black voters a chance to have a representation. It's the same thing.

[00:44:12]Like like the Boston Tea Party when the king was here.

[00:44:15]It's taxation without representation.

[00:44:18]That's the same thing.

[00:44:20]Um by saying that oh no, it's illegal to uh have a minority majority districts and it's congressional districts, you know, is is hurting voting rights for a large part of the population. There's still more white majority districts than black districts.

[00:44:49]And it's not just it's not just a black issue.

[00:44:52]But it it it's it's a civil rights issue that people worked hard to get and it's been destroyed and uh if you read up on it and learn about it, you'll see um that it's it's not just a matter of uh of equality. It's a mat- It's It is a matter of equality. It's not just a matter of white and black or minority and not.

[00:45:16]Uh but this is a whole 'nother conversation. This is a whole 'nother as is the farm bill and what's in the farm bill.

[00:45:24]So, I'm just going to try to do a whole separate video.

[00:45:30]And know this, like Johnson was talking just now, these bills, except for the funding for DHS and for TSA and Secret Service and what was passed today, that was signed by Trump. So, that's a done deal except for ICE and Border Patrol.

[00:45:52]And that's going to be coming up when they get back from their next their this vacation that they're going on probably right now, you guys, cuz they're just tired. They've worked a couple days this week.

[00:46:02]Um Yeah, I'm going to I've actually just started reading the farm bill.

[00:46:11]And there's a lot and some of it's not good.

[00:46:15]I mean, some of it's good, but again, the farm bill has to go to the Senate. And we're nowhere near the end of the budget battle.

[00:46:26]So, talk about um elections, I just wanted to share these pictures with you.

[00:46:38]And here is this one.

[00:46:41]So, this is Susan Collins.

[00:46:43]And there was uh and you guys, I'm going to go to the story.

[00:46:51]And the story is This is a This is in The Hill.

[00:46:54]Democrats coalesce around Platner as Mills I'm I'm moving exits Maine Senate race.

[00:47:08]So, this lady right here is Mills.

[00:47:13]She is is the governor of Maine.

[00:47:17]She was going to run to defeat Susan Collins. Now, Susan Collins is a MAGA voter.

[00:47:25]She's uh She's She's kind of a waste of space, but she, you know, she votes with Trump.

[00:47:35]So, there you go.

[00:47:37]Um and she's she's represents Maine.

[00:47:42]This is a seat that we that Democrats felt pretty good about about winning if they could find a good candidate. This is another example of how Democrats just set themselves up for failure.

[00:47:57]So, so Governor Janet Mills is is being termed out. She's She's not going to be governor anymore.

[00:48:05]She's 77.

[00:48:07]And um she She wasn't doing well.

[00:48:10]Schumer actually thought she would be a good senator.

[00:48:17]Why? Why? See, I mean, this is what I mean.

[00:48:20]They just don't know they don't know what they're doing. But then this guy comes along.

[00:48:24]But he's got baggage as well. I'm going down to the I'm going to the part to talk about him.

[00:48:30]Mills entered the race late giving Platner more time to rally energy around his insurgent bid.

[00:48:39]Okay.

[00:48:40]Platner.

[00:48:41]Here he is.

[00:48:42]41-year-old progressive oyster farmer burst This is all quote from The Hill. onto the scene alongside several other political newcomers, including a Democratic Socialist, Zoran Mandani, now the mayor of New York.

[00:48:59]And James Talent Ta- Tala- Terry You know, the guy running in Texas. I always I always mispronounce his name. I got a thing about the C's.

[00:49:10]Uh who's rocketed from the Texas legislature to win the party Senate nod this cycle. So, there's him, but then there's this guy.

[00:49:19]And he's got some baggage in that um I'm I'm looking I'm going down to to where it talks about him. I'm I'm sure that you all guys have cuz you're pretty all politically savvy.

[00:49:36]Platner's campaign has faced controversy over now deleted posts from several years ago in which he dismissed all all police as bastards and said rural white Americans are actually actually are racist and stupid.

[00:50:00]So, this was a he put this on social media.

[00:50:04]Um it's CNN uncovered all this and over a now covered tattoo of what's recognized as a Nazi symbol.

[00:50:16]Now covered up.

[00:50:18]He expressed regret over the posts and said he was unaware of the tattoo's association when he got it. But critics continue to seize on the subjects.

[00:50:33]I don't know, you guys.

[00:50:35]Why are we so And I say we, Democrats, so lame?

[00:50:41]This is it?

[00:50:42]This is the best they can do?

[00:50:45]This woman who's a washed-up governor and I I I'm old.

[00:50:53]I'm not that old, but I'm, you know, older.

[00:50:57]And but why? Why would we want to uh elect a 77-year-old woman?

[00:51:04]And you know, and this woman is so beatable.

[00:51:07]She's so beatable.

[00:51:08]Now, I'm sure this guy didn't mean all the nasty things that he said, or did he?

[00:51:15]And is this the best we can do?

[00:51:18]And this is important that Democrats win this seat.

[00:51:21]And now who knows?

[00:51:23]Who knows what's going to happen?

[00:51:25]All right. I thought that would be fun to talk about that.

[00:51:29]Yeah, charges against Comey are going to be dropped. I don't I I uh I mean, I doubt though there will be $8 diesel.

[00:51:39]Um The the whole Comey thing is just another waste of time.

[00:51:45]And you know what? They do it on purpose.

[00:51:47]They do it on purpose to get, you know, people's minds off of uh I was going to say COVID.

[00:51:55]Off of the Epstein files. Off of the war that is unbelievably dumb.

[00:52:01]And and I I don't mean that the way it sounds. I it was dumb is a stupid word, Gloria. But um I mean, what are we doing?

[00:52:11]What are we doing here with this?

[00:52:14]Um Trump doesn't even make any sense.

[00:52:15]He's talking about Venezuela, and this is not Venezuela. Gas prices are going up. They're going to drop like a rock.

[00:52:24]And so I I think you know, Comey and all of that, it's all just look over here. Look what's happening over here so that we don't see what's happening here.

[00:52:36]And serious things are happening here.

[00:52:39]So, speaking of which Jimmy Kimmel.

[00:52:43]>> [laughter] >> I don't know. I you know, I'm not crazy about doing I'd rather do a story on the farm bill than talk about Jimmy Kimmel.

[00:52:52]But what gets me is for years and years cuz I was in broadcasting for 20 years.

[00:52:58]You know, and the FCC basically became just I excuse me, the expression impotent.

[00:53:07]I mean, they're they're nothing federal agency. They're nothing.

[00:53:11]But now that it's been weaponized and now that um I don't like to call them mainstream media, we'll just call them corporate media. They're afraid of their own shadows.

[00:53:24]Um you know, Trump's found weapons that he can use against them to get positive uh coverage.

[00:53:32]I I don't know about Disney. I worked for Disney when I was at ABC.

[00:53:38]Um so, I worked for Disney for for quite a while.

[00:53:42]And I thought it was a great company.

[00:53:44]Here is um that it's Brendan Carr, right? Here he is talking about Kimmel and they asked him today they are FCC's now holding up ABC's broadcasting license. And here's here's the sound bite. I might not play it all cuz he he blathers on. Obviously, the the timing of the order to bring the ABC license that's up for early renewal has raised questions coming a day after uh President and his wife, you know, called for Trump for uh Jimmy Kimmel to be fired. I guess do you see how people see that it might be connected to the Kimmel I mean, let me just ask you this way. Was there any connection between the Kimmel comments last week, his ill-timed joke and the early renewal request? And um I guess do you see that perception and are you are you do you disagree with the notion that it's, you know, causation there?

[00:54:37]Well, let me walk through the timeline cuz I think that's part of what the confusion has been in some of the reporting that I've seen. You can go all the way back to more than a year ago in March of last year where I wrote a letter to Disney saying that there was evidence and Disney has the opportunity, will continue to have the opportunity to put in counter evidence. But there was evidence um or allegations indicating that Disney, through this sort of invidious form of DEI discrimination All right. So, really, they were going after Disney because I and I worked for Disney for about I I don't know if it was 10 years. I I worked for ABC and then um ABC Fresno.

[00:55:20]Okay.

[00:55:21]The ABC affiliate in Fresno.

[00:55:23]And then that was when Disney took over uh ABC and then I worked for Disney for maybe about five or six years before I moved to Washington, D.C.

[00:55:33]And they were they were just a great company. And uh you know.

[00:55:39]But because Disney supports um minority hiring and DEI uh that's why they wanted to go after Disney. So, it's not just Kimmel. was creating as I specified in the letter to them, racially segregated spaces inside the company. There was other allegations that went to Disney forcing racial and identity quotas or preferences. And I said at the time that if that pans out, that's a big deal.

[00:56:12]Um you know, we need to sort of end any form of discrimination based on race or protected class. It's in the very first portion of the Communications Act.

[00:56:22]Obviously, the Supreme Court, even Justice Week, reaffirmed it. Uh that we can't be using race for preferences. And so, we announced this investigation going all the way back to March. We said the Enforcement Bureau will be looking at it.

[00:56:36]I believe it was in June that we sent our first uh letter of inquiry to Disney on this topic and they provided us, you know, LOIs is our version of discovery or subpoenas effectively. They provided us with hundreds of documents at the time.

[00:56:52]And I've been consistent and very public. I tend, you know, not to be shy speaking about these things publicly and I've been saying for months that one thing that we're looking at in that investigation is an early renewal if that's where sort of the investigative steps tell us it needs to go. And I've said that publicly on multiple occasions going back weeks or months.

[00:57:16]Flash forward, we, you know, didn't think we got all the documents that we needed from Disney for our investigation.

[00:57:22]So, we then issued a supplemental letter of inquiry, I think in February of this year.

[00:57:28]All right, I'll just stop. He just goes on and on. He lies.

[00:57:31]He just says, "Oh, no.

[00:57:33]It has nothing to do with Trump or the first lady hating Jimmy Kimmel.

[00:57:38]We just you know, Disney hires minorities. So, we just definitely have to look into them and maybe not renew their broadcast license."

[00:57:47]Um it's just another example of, you know, the Trump administration trying to weaponize everything.

[00:57:54]Let's just make everybody feel threatened so that they can have more power. And it's just BS.

[00:58:01]And um yeah, you guys.

[00:58:04]Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

[00:58:07]Iranians still have uranium.

[00:58:09]The regime change as some brilliant um man said earlier here that's on the feed.

[00:58:14]Um My my lovely veteran.

[00:58:18]Um the regime now is worse than the original regime. At least the original regime didn't believe in nuclear weapons.

[00:58:28]They did they did he did not.

[00:58:29]So, and they they they killed him in the first strike.

[00:58:34]So, No, I mean, you know, I actually have had Disney stock when the whole Kimmel thing first began and they pulled Kimmel off the air.

[00:58:46]And I got mad. I became enraged.

[00:58:49]And I sold it.
