Do people not know that he's like 10 years older than me?

Well, they know he's been in office since Gerald Ford was in the White House.

This is a guy who just also failed miserably at his job.

So this isn't a guy that was successful and was there too long.

This is a guy that was uniquely unsuccessful and was there too long.

The voters fired him two years ago.

He's now making claims about what he can do if he comes back for six more years, which is patently absurd.

How do you feel about the country?

So do you think that there's a breakdown in communication between federal government and the states when someone's immigration status changes?

Oh, it's not a breakdown in communications.

It's a breakdown in laws and the state's desire to enforce federal immigration laws.

The situation in Connecticut is we had three Ohioans killed, three, in a very short period of time.

These are people who the immigration status is not in question.

They know this, meaning the state of Connecticut knew these people were here illegally.

This was a matter of policy.

Well, for listeners that don't know what it is, can you kind of tell us what the bill is about?

You don't know us, you don't belong.

All right.

Are you guys, I need something from all of you tonight.

Back there, you hear the media, you watch the news, and they say President Trump just isn't as popular as he once was.

I want you to say it to the media.

Is President Trump popular? It's Ohio Trump country.

Are you gonna turn out and vote? Are you gonna turn out and vote? You know what's unbelievable to me is that there's a lot of your friends out there that have a very short memory.

Take care.

For a dealer sitting here watching all of this unfold, what should they expect over the next few weeks? What are the key milestones that they should be watching for?

Look, we're we're in the home stretch.

We gotta get this thing done.

If we don't get it done in the next legislative time period, basically at the end of by the end of this year, the entire process starts all over again.

We don't know what the political winds are going to be next year.

what the moves are from the CCP next year in terms of how they view it.

I can tell you they're desperate, John.

So if you had to lay out the path from today in getting this legislation signed into law, what are the remaining steps? What needs to happen between now and the end of the year? And what would you like to see the dealer body do if they can do anything right now? What would you like them to do? If

Have you seen anything that points to that?

What's crystal clear to everybody is that this amount of security to protect President Trump at that rally was definitely lacking.

Crystal clear.

How do you have the only structures with line of sight to the president, and nobody checked that roof? That's crazy.

We, we as all Americans, Democrats, Independents, Republicans, should ask ourselves, how did we have such a catastrophic failure to protect who was obviously a, a target of assassination in that, in that, in Butler, PA? Thank God President Trump didn't get killed, and others did, and we should mourn their lives and respect the fact that we should have a thorough investigation of what went wrong.

Common sense would say, "Hey, has anybody checked the only structure that has a line of sight to this?"

Right, but if that's inappropriate for him, why would this not be inappropriate for you?

Well, I...

The president stepped in bravely and said, "No, no, no, no. Thune's doing a good job." Your thoughts about that moment, sir?

Well, look, it, it speaks to, uh, the reality that we haven't accomplished everything in the United States Senate that we should have.

We should have gotten the SAVE Act passed, and we didn't get that done.

Voters are very frustrated.

We're gonna continue to advance that.

But look, the only thing I'd ask is a little grace here to understand that the Democrats are at historic levels of absolute total obstruction.

We're gonna have nine new Republicans no matter what, maybe even more, that come in and are sworn in in January.

Walk the audience through why it's not a gimmick and why you think this is serious and you're putting it forward in legislation, sir.

What is your thoughts last night of President Trump's speech?

He did a great job.

He laid out the case that President Biden left this country on the brink of complete and utter failure.

And in 18 months, we've accomplished more than any other administration in American history.

But the job is not done.

Did we complete everything? Absolutely not.

And that's why we need two more years to complete the agenda.

Walk the audience through why it's not a gimmick and why you think this is serious and you're putting it forward in legislation, sir.

What are we going to hear from J.D.?

I think you'll see a vision of what the Republican Party is now, which is very different than it was 10 or 15 years ago.

It's hyper-focused on working Americans.

This idea that anybody can go to high school, graduate, get a good job that allows them to buy a home, own a car, have a single income provide for a family.

That family can live in a safe community and they can retire at dignity.

That means good, high-paying jobs.

That's why tariffs matter, to make certain that these industries that provide these good, high-paying jobs can thrive and succeed.

Where do you come down on

You wrote in Marco Rubio back in 2016, right? I

did not know J.D. Vance in 2015.

I didn't know J.D. in 2015.

I don't think J.D. knew that he was going to be in politics in 2015.

But, you know, they're both very aligned.

I mean, I think Marco and J.D. have the same view that I do about what ultimately our responsibility is, which is to help working Americans live a good life.

I think all three of us believe in that.

Has any of this made you feel differently about your party or about your colleagues?

And let's just remind everybody what happened when Senator Moreno sat down with the good doctor.

Those policies were put in place because you had moronic politicians that listened to the words of a megalomaniac who was more interested in having met a Kardashian than the suffering of the American people.

And that is you.

Your advice is to communities like that, to idiotic politicians who enforce those rules, arrested that mom for watching a football game with her own family outside.

When that story broke, I said to myself, I cannot stand idly on the side and watch this happen.

It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate.

Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the do you think you were for doing that? It is a total disgrace what you did to this country.

It's because he turned this country against one another and split us up to say, you're either with me and with science or you're against me and you're some kind of And unfortunately, these are you know, these are these are issues within human nature that I believe he was playing on.

What was that like to see him take the Fifth so many times?

So look, yesterday was a guy who damaged this country in deep and profound ways, especially kids, deprived them of education, shut down businesses, got people in the military fired, got people in private businesses fired, bragged about that, lied to the American people, and worst of all, basically we now know that it was the US taxpayer at his direction that funded the gain of function research that led to the coronavirus epidemic.

So we helped fund that through him, and this guy couldn't even bother to look at the people he hurt, and couldn't even muster up an apology.

It was a disgrace.

Mm

... of the governed when the, when these politicians were doing these things? The answer is absolutely not.

And what we also exposed, it's really, really important, is that Democrats, given power, want to control us.

Fundamentally, that's the difference between what I would say a Republican conservative and a socialist liberal, is they want total and complete control over our lives.

What kind of car to drive, how to behave, where to do this, where to do that, uh, what type of food to eat.

This, their, their instinct is control.

Our founders knew that was fundamentally flawed, that politicians should derive only their just powers from what people want.

Mm

What do we know about how it came in your hands in the first place?

Well, you'd be shocked.

So the guy actually wrote the diary entries and the government computer systems.

So thanks to RFK, he went in and Tulsi Gabbard did a deep dive of all the systems and they found the entire diary.

He had put it on a government server.

And remember the other parts that my colleague, Josh Holly pointed out, this guy would have federal employees go out and solicit awards for him to receive cash awards would nominate him for prizes.

And by the way, let me ask you a question.

Oh, say more, connect those dots a little more.

Cut eight.

It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate.

Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the do you think you were for doing that? It is a total disgrace what you did to this country.

And if my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you, I hope the voters of the United States of America watch the clips of every one of you doting on a guy who is more interested in being a celebrity than saving American people.

I will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those Democrats who did that will see that clip over and over and over again.

Because defending, there is no defense of what you did.

You may have had a 50 plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace.

Cut number eight.

In other words, is the National Defense Authorization Act important to enough Democrats that they'd ignore the SAVE Act component and go ahead and vote for it, or would they not vote for the NDAA simply because it has something that everyone wants built into it, i.e. the SAVE Act? Senator Moreno.

Well, sadly, no, the Democrats would not vote for the NDAA if the Save America Act is in there because they've actually absolutely hunkered down in this idea that you shouldn't have to prove who you are and you shouldn't have to prove your citizen to vote.

Things that are, by the way, popular with 70 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of Republicans, of course, 80 percent of independents.

So they would they would just strip it from the bill or not pass it at all.

They've they've consistently 47 out of 47 Democrats voted.

We've put this thing to a vote five or six times.

Every single time we get 50 votes, they get zero votes from Democrats.

Your reaction, Bernie Moreno?

We need 60.

Your reaction, Bernie Moreno?

What was this guy thinking? It's just craziness.

Well, that was back in the day, uh, when Democrats loved America.

Uh, Democrats loved the people of America and understood fundamentally a simple truth that bringing massive amounts of people from third world countries will hurt working Americans, suppress wages, and raise costs.

Now, by the way, Dianne Feinstein, uh, the bastion of liberalism, was a supporter of that bill.

Uh, Bill Clinton was a supporter of that bill.

And it was noth- none, none, none other than Joseph R. Biden that blocked that bill from even being considered.

But it wasn't just birthright citizenship.

And the DSA rise, which we're gonna talk about next segment, and Blake's gonna lead the charge there, w- just define the stakes for the audience as somebody that has lived this experience firsthand.

What about these mini nuclear reactors?

Yeah, I mean, that's long term.

In the Working Families Tax Cuts, we put some incentives for the creation of small modular reactors.

The technology is just not there yet.

There's been one built in Georgia.

There's another one being built in the Carolinas.

As that develops, certainly that's an avenue.

Well, actually, he's very well liked here in Maine.

Right

... look, my stance is very, very, very straightforward.

I was just in Colombia because I was asked, uh, by the government to be an election observer.

There was a lot of potential shenanigans down there.

Uh, here's what you gotta know about the Colombian election, uh, and it's very, very, very sad and quite frankly embarrassing to the United States of America.

What Colombia does is they have one day that's election day.

No mail-in balloting at all, like zero.

Yes, that's a great point

What outcome as a ally to the president in the Senate are you looking for at the end of that lunch tomorrow?

Look, he's the persuader in chief.

He's gotta make the case, which he does.

It's very simple.

He will remind everybody in that room that every single Republican in that room campaigned on a set of ideas, and we should all be united on fulfilling those set of ideas.

That means make life better for working Americans, not having endless wars, having engagement, deep engagement with our hemisphere to make certain that we crack down on illegal migration and these transnational criminal organizations.

And look, I think ultimately, uh, what we will discuss tomorrow is what's the path forward because you're exactly right, Steve.

Let's reason together on this." Do you see opportunities in attaching it to must-pass, uh, pa- parts of legislation?
