It Was a Bad Night For the Liberal Lunatics | Episode 185

0:28Hey everybody, welcome to Vince on a Wednesday. refusing to do something to help themselves win in the midterms, like, I don't know, get U.S. prosecutors through kind of seems like a big deal. We'll talk about that. That's an issue that will continue to be on my mind until these Republicans can actually fix it. That's ahead on our show. And then Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is here. Can't wait to talk to her. She's got a big new piece of legislation that will impose, well, let's just say term limits on corrupt members of Congress. That's ahead on this edition of events. Hey, our sponsors make all of this possible.

2:20Well, somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to hit the campaign trail. Somebody's got to convince people to vote for Republicans going into the midterms. And by and large, it's not going to be congressional Republicans. They should. They should do it. And there are things that they can be proud of. The big, beautiful bill, for instance, is something that they can run around and tell people about. That's a good thing, cutting people's taxes. But by and large, this whole thing is really about the Trump agenda, isn't it? it's about what has donald trump achieved this year with some assists from some republicans in washington not a lot but some big beautiful bill comes to mind and then what is on the line what are we going to give up if democrats win either or both houses what no this is a huge huge year that we're going into for a million different reasons including it's the 250th anniversary of our great country, America 250.

3:13President Trump hits the campaign trail yesterday at an event designed to celebrate the year that's now behind us. He goes to Pennsylvania. Anybody in the Commonwealth? Anybody in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the chat? As President Trump heads to Mount Pocono, goes to a beautiful area of the country to speak to a great state that put him across the finish line yet again. Pennsylvania, one of those swing states, by the way, all of them, that voted for Donald Trump in the last election and said, yeah, we'd like that guy back, please. He's back now. And now he's going up back to Pennsylvania with a status report.

3:50You sent me back into the Oval Office and here's what I've done for you. Here we go. Hello to Pennsylvania, by the way, all my Keystone Staters in the in the chat this morning. Quite a few of you. Good morning to you. Here's the president saying, you know what's happened so far? Let's try gas prices. Cut one. Watch this. We're right now drilling more oil than we've ever done ever before. Prices are way down. We just had four states. It was just reported that four states had one dollar and ninety nine cents a gallon.

4:27Yeah, gas prices are the lowest they've been as a percentage of the average American's budget. In two decades, back to the beginning of this century, that's how low gas prices have fallen. Again, this is a statistical thing. This is an average. Every time I bring this statistic up, people say, well, my gas prices are still very high. I mean, you know, you're in California. Of course, they're high because the state imposes ridiculous taxes. on you. They're sky high. So yes, are there differences around the country? Absolutely. But on average, it is true. The average American is paying less as a percentage of their budget than they have in over two decades now.

5:06You can thank President Trump for pursuing a drill baby drill agenda, kicking down the regulations that were getting in the way of American energy exploration and getting more oil out to the people. Now, what does that mean for you and for me? not only are you paying less at the pump as a result you end up paying less for everything think about all those amazon trucks that are circling the neighborhoods all around the country delivering at all hours of the day you pay a little bit extra suddenly this thing arrives even faster you got cars all over the place vehicles commercial drivers trucks everything as a result the input costs that go in to those companies like fuel for their trucks they don't need to worry about covering that quite as much now as they sell these products that means the the rise in prices at the very least slows or we even see prices come down energy is the beginning of all of it so when the president emphasizes gas prices that's a huge deal you know i was watching the president last night i was i was uh seated on newsmax on rob finnerty's program on Newsmax last night waiting for the president to conclude his remarks.

6:16And I was watching the whole speech with some glee. I thought he was doing a great job. High energy is funny. You know, like MS now or whatever it's called, Ms. Now, that that place that used to be called MSNBC. They were crapping all over the president. Oh, signs of fatigue, signs of fatigue. None of you idiots could do an off the top of your dome one hour and 48 minute speech. You're sitting there with teleprompters and you're just constantly beating up on Donald Trump because you don't like him and you hate that people keep sending him back to the white house yeah no trump trump did it so i was impressed by certainly his rigor but the guy gets up there and he does this and i'm thinking finally man somebody tells a good story about what the hell's going on in this country have you noticed i know this isn't you because you're eternally optimistic and you love your country but have you noticed that there's like black pale people out there they're like all the economies are shambles and trump's not doing anything and he hasn't fixed anything hold on a second look all i'm asking for is for people to be realistic be realistic have housing prices come down to the level we want them no we got we got to bring down the cost of housing we got to deport a lot of people too that's a huge way to get to that level has gas come down to the level that everyone's like oh that's the best let's stay there forever no we can keep going down let's keep doing that keep drilling keep drilling by the way it's also a huge advantage in national security for the united states to have massive quantities of cheap energy because that means we can export it too and that means that russia is not making all the money on the gas and venezuela isn't making all the money on the gas and iran's not making all the money on the gas which means that we can cool down these global conflicts thanks to american energy production but i'm telling you right now you got to be first of all you got to pat yourself on the back for what you've been able to accomplish by sending Donald Trump back to this White House.

8:02So we see gas prices come down. That's good. Here's another data point that nobody dwells on except for yours truly in this wonderful audience. How about our jobs numbers? What are our jobs numbers look like right now? Well, all the job gains, unlike in the Biden era, are going to American citizens. Natural native born Americans, native born American workers are getting all the job gains. Foreigners, they're getting the hell out. Listen to the president here. Cut to watch. Before I entered office, 100 percent of all new net jobs were going to migrant workers. See that 100 percent of new jobs were going to migrant.

8:40These are government numbers, by the way. These are not Trump numbers. These are government numbers because they say, well, did Trump come up with these numbers? No, I didn't come up. I'm just migrant workers and illegal aliens got 100 percent but since i took office 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to american citizens how about that now how about that even i will give myself a hand now think of it a hundred percent went to american citizens before a hundred percent went to people that came into the country illegally. Again, many of them from prisons, many of them gang members, drug members, Trendy Aragua.

9:29More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. All right, so those are numbers to be proud of. Oh, but Vince, the job market's not perfect. We still need more jobs. Yes, hell yes. I'm not doubting that. In fact, we can say that with confidence. Are Americans still in financial straits? Yeah, of course. that we've got over a trillion dollars in credit card debt you think that's good for our country it's horrible it's horrible donald trump has a massive massive mess to clean up they they left everywhere donald trump is still cleaning up the house and that's going to continue and if you want it to continue you got to vote in big margins going into the midterms to expand the numbers for republicans so that the trump agenda can be fully fulfilled the president said last night look yes we're almost done a year but we got three years left and he said in trump time that's an eternity that's a lot of time kind of makes sense the president achieves more in a day than most people achieve in a lifetime uh so yeah he's got a lot of opportunities in the next three years uh to continue to good do good things for america so there's still problems to conquer yeah totally totally but this was designed to be a victory lap this was designed to look back and say, hey, we've done some really good stuff.

10:47There's a reason you voted for me and I'm giving you more reasons to help me get this kind of stuff done in the future. Here he is talking about the big, beautiful, now law, cut three, tax cuts. We're also putting thousands of dollars in the pockets of hardworking Pennsylvanians with the largest tax cuts in American history. That's no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security for our great seniors, our seniors no tax yeah but a huge thing a huge thing and so we get a situation where we get tax cuts across the board in the economy and by the way no matter who gets the tax cut it redounds to the benefit of the whole country so tax cuts even at the highest levels people make a lot more money companies that have those all that that obviously bring in a ton of revenue if they have if they don't have to spend all their money on taxes that helps you and me as consumers that's a huge deal that means prices don't go up because what do people do when they get taxed they pass off the costs they pass off the costs to the consumers these are basic economic principles and the left likes to poo-poo them i don't i happen to think that people with the least amount of means in this country should be able to afford a life in this country that's my position it might not be the left position they they don't want that but i do i do and so the big beautiful law is something to celebrate the big beautiful law has a lot of things in it that the president didn't even admit acknowledge either it's not just the tax cuts it's also things like tax cuts on guns tax cuts on silencers and short barrel rifles getting rid zeroing out the stupid tax stamps that are on those weapons and accessories meaning that the government is no longer allowed to track those things that registry could have the effect of completely going away there's litigation on that right now but it's a zero tax now so how can you keep tracking the people who paid the tax there is no tax to track there's always a backdoor registry for tracking your purchases president trump got rid of that that's an amazing win and worth celebrating that's a huge thing also he's hiring 10 000 new ice agents and building border wall he's got the border sealed up tight right now even without those things added that's a great story and one that he was telling last night as well in pennsylvania to an audience that loved seeing him and he loved being back on the road you could tell and then he talked about one of the core reasons he was elected which is get people out of this country who are not supposed to be here and he said for the first time ever we have a pattern going on that hasn't been seen before We have something called reverse migration.

13:30Here's the president. Cut for watch. For the first time in 50 years, we now have reverse migration, which means more jobs, better wages and higher income for American citizens, not for illegal aliens.

13:47And not for illegal aliens, reverse migration. The numbers on on illegals and foreign nationals generally getting out of the country in the vicinity of three million right now. And that would that's that's because we've had over two million self-deportations, some 800 ,000 forcible deportations from the country and a lot more to come from Tom Holman, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem. And of course, the president of the United States, they're sincere about this. and their goal is to try and ramp that up as aggressively as possible to just get a lot of people out of the country you heard the vice president of the united states talking about it recently you want to bring housing costs down get 20 30 million people out of the country who are competing for that that limited space they're not supposed to be here they're not supposed to be here they were imported to be exploited let's get rid of them let's get them out and let's right size our system let's bring those costs down it's great it's really great so those are those are two of the big things i mentioned you know if there's a panacea to anything to fixing the country it's deporting illegals and it is bringing energy costs down you do those two things we are well on our way in the make america great again mission that's a huge deal the president also said that he's tired of all these people coming to our country as refugees and then steal from us namely somalis in minnesota which we've been discussing this past week given the horrific scale of the fraud nearly eight billion dollars by some estimates stolen from taxpayers.

15:15Here's the president saying we don't want you. Cut five. Do we have any individuals from Somalia in the group? Please raise your hand. That's for Minnesota. You know, that's called the great big Minnesota scam with one of the dumbest governors ever in history.

15:38I love this Ilan Omar, whatever the hell her name is with the little turban I love her, she comes in does nothing but bitch she's always complaining she comes from a country where I mean it's considered about the worst country in the world they have no military, they have no nothing they have no parliament they don't know what the hell the word parliament means they have nothing they have no police they they police themselves they kill each other all the time i love it she comes to our country and she's always complaining about the constitution allows me to do this the constant we ought to get her to hell out she married her brother in order to get in right she married her brother she did she married her brother in order to get him in that was the the fraud scheme that they perpetrated.

16:33And then, you know, she still sits in Congress and everyone acts like it's totally normal. How dare you say something about this? No, we're done with the how dare you. We'll we'll say exactly what's on our mind on that subject. And the president, he's really tapping into something super important here. You know, as we consider in the future. And by the way, I've said it before. I say it again. We should just lock down all legal immigration right now. We should just shut the door for now, get our house in order and then decide who we want to bring in and for what reason. How does it benefit us as a country?

16:58And if it benefits you, great. But fundamentally, a country that has an immigration system should do it on the basis of whether or not it helps us. That's that's priority one in your immigration system. But the president points out a really important thing. Culture matters. Culture matters. if you're going to import people why are you going to do it from somalia somalia where you have a people that have run their country into the ground and then you bring people into the united states what do you think happens i keep citing the new york times piece i want i want you to remember this because if this comes up in any of your conversations this is a useful talking point for you to raise because it's true in the New York Times piece about Tim Walls and the Somalis who have stolen over in their estimates over a billion dollars from Minnesota.

17:50They consult a Somali-American expert of Somali studies. And the expert says that stealing from the government is a feature of Somali culture. The expert says that in the New York Times piece. OK, so we're just supposed to accept that, that we're being robbed blind? Hell no, we're not accepting that. But it's a reminder, both from the Somali-American expert and from the President of the United States, that it is not forbidden. In fact, it's essential that you contemplate what kind of culture are we importing into the United States and are they assimilating with us? Are they signing on to the American mission or are they adhering to some sort of failing Somali mission?

18:32We know the answer to that question. And a lot of that money is going back to Somalia in the form of remittance payments and then ending up in the hands of al-Shabaab, which is a full-blown terror organization. So again, we're done being scolded for noticing reality. We're done. The president bringing up something super important here. We don't want you, he says. Here is a little more cut six saying, you're going to do that to us? Get out. if you don't share our values contribute to our economy and assimilate into our society that we don't want you in our country we don't want you

19:16i mean elan omar and the people from somalia they hate our country and they think we're stupid people which actually when they allow that to happen they are that's headed by governor waltz one of the dumber people around no but he's given but think of it he's given not like peanuts billions these are people that don't work in their own country their own country is a failure they have no money that and yet they come into our country and steal tens of billions of dollars how stupid are we to allow that to happen they can't earn 10 cents in their country they come over here and rob are we that easy?

19:59Are we that easy to allow a thing like that to happen? That's up to you. Yeah, no, he's right about that. God bless him for saying that. The night ended as all great Trump rallies do with a little bit of YMCA, the Trump dance. Take a look. Here he is. Cut. Cut seven.

20:24Oh, yeah. He was great. Does he look fatigued? Look at him hit these moves. Ready? Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

20:38It's funny. I was coming out of this Newsmax thing. I'm watching this on Newsmax. And Rob Finnerty's about to come to me and the great radio host Ben Ferguson. We're sitting there waiting to react. And I'm bopping along to the song. I'm like, man, I don't know, to this very day. I can see why they play this at weddings. you know i know lefties probably gave up on playing it at weddings but that's a that's a wedding jam right there the president plays it every time every time that's the way he ends his rallies he uh he knows what works for him and that's uh that's pretty funny all right a lot more ahead on the program we've got a lot to get to today and also congresswoman anna paulina luna uh just moments away hey you know christmas christmas used to mean something super simple which is the birth of christ that's the simple thing that christmas means the most important message and it led to families gathering around the table and having real conversations hard work was rewarded with a little time to breathe we didn't cut corners because we didn't believe in shortcuts you earned your rest but these days everything does move so fast everyone is looking for the easy way out but not our friends at beam beam is a company proudly founded in america and run by people who share our values hard work integrity delivering results and loving christmas we all know that all of this can be hard during Christmas and that's why I'm telling you about Beam's Dream Powder it's a nighttime blend packed with science-backed ingredients shown to improve sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready to take on each new day so if you've been waiting for the right time to try Dream well this is it go to shopbeam.com slash Vince show use the code Vince show and take advantage of my exclusive offer up to 40 % off during Beam's Dream Powder sale.

So there's the president of the United States. He's on the campaign trail. He's trying to whip up support for Republicans. He wants to grow his margins. He wants the Trump agenda to come through. But here's the thing that i've been focused on this week and it's driving me absolutely crazy not just this week for for weeks now we need u.s attorneys we need u.s attorneys to prosecute bad guys the fbi keeps bringing out all this information keeps going after these people we we do see some charges coming through and then we get these radical judges who say sorry we can't do this your u.s attorney's not authentic it's not real lindsey halligan's fake and anabal and not anabal excuse me uh uh alina haba is who i'm thinking alina haba is fake they can't they can't bring these prosecutions hold on we need full senate confirmed u.s attorneys we need to defeat the radical left and any sort of technicality that they're trying to rely on to get rid of these charges and we got to see these charges brought all the way through and so i was telling you yesterday that that the two people that we really need to focus our public comments towards right now are in the united United States Senate.

23:47One of them is Chuck Grassley. He's the guy who runs the Senate Judiciary Committee. The other is John Thune, who runs the whole Republican Party in the Senate. Those men can get rid of this disgraceful blue slip. The blue slip, the shortest possible summary, is merely allowing people like Adam Schiff, Democrats, to have a veto over any presidential nomination for U.S. attorney or federal judge in the state of California. And that applies to all these states where democrats have senate seats they're just vetoing all the president's picks like in virginia or in new jersey or in california so this is infuriating to the president he was raging about this on a hot mic earlier this week and i've been raging about this for some time i hate this republicans are in our way and i just saw speaking of hating things and raging and oh my goodness i just saw a video surfaced yesterday this comes to us from the daily caller back in July.

24:45A clip of Chuck Grassley talking about how the president had just criticized him on social media about the blue slip program. Now, you and I know what the blue slips are, and we know that they're standing in our way. Chuck Grassley at the time in July issued a very patronizing statement about us. It's like Americans have no idea what the blue slip is. Why is anybody even focused on this. I hate being insulted by the president. Here's Chuck Grassley in July, annoying me all these months later. Cut eight. Watch. The people in real America don't care about what the blue slip is. But in fact, it impacts in their states, the district judges who serve their communities and the U.S.

25:30attorneys who ensure the law and order is enforced. I was offended by what the president said and i'm disappointed that it will result in personal insults that's insane and so deeply condescending actually and i say that it pains me to say that because i i've said it before i like chuck grassley i've i think that he's contributed all sorts of really important positive things to the country he's great with whistleblowers i can't i'm not going to even and pretend to diminish the things that he's done that are good. But that condescending attitude towards you and me, Americans don't even know what the blue slip is.

26:15They don't know how valuable it is and how it protects them. To hell with that. What is it protecting? It's not protecting me. It's protecting criminals. It's protecting Comey and Letitia James and John Brennan. It's protecting people who have hurt our country and deserve to be held accountable for it. So stop selling it as some sort of great thing for me. It's a total disaster. You know what I want to do? I want to prevent revolution. I want to prevent an uprising by a people who've lost all confidence in their government. I want to prevent utter catastrophe. How do you do that? You need a coherent justice system that actually holds people accountable when they violate the law.

26:57and the citizenry need to believe that there are consequences for bad actors. And how do they come to that conclusion? You actually enforce the law. You arrest people, you prosecute them, you have real US attorneys standing by to do it and then they can see it all the way through to sentencing. That's what we need. I don't need patronizing lectures. I don't need to be told that a shit sandwich is actually an edifying experience for me. No, that's not what I need at all. In fact, what I need is for Chuck Grassley and every other Republican to develop the testicular fortitude necessary to actually stand up for the American people in our moment of need.

27:41In fact, Chuck Grassley has been a part of the transparency initiatives to point out all of these crimes. Look at all these criminals, he keeps saying. OK, so what are you going to do about it? oh but it's been a tradition vince we had this gentleman's agreement there's no gentleman on the other side of the aisle they are going to stab us to death if not metaphorically in real life we just saw charlie kirk shot to death

28:09no more time for games we have no time we have no time whatsoever the groundswell on this thing needs to be authentic it needs to be aggressive and it needs to be now we need to earnestly passionately invoke our first amendment right to redress our grievances with our government to petition them to convince them they've got to blow through this stupid so-called tradition the blue slips get u.s attorneys and judges in place and let's get off to the races with holding people accountable you want to see donald trump grow his margins next year deliver for the american people and those low propensity voters who voted for donald trump because they want their country back they will show up for you.

28:49It's a simple equation.

28:54That's it. All right. In a moment, we'll be joined by the Congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna. We'll talk to her about what's going on in Congress and how it is that we can rein in the people who are not actually there for you, but in it for themselves. More in a moment. You know, the holidays are always full of surprises. And because of that, I want to share something that honestly has blown me away. When it comes to religious freedom, I was shocked to learn what states rank low on First Liberty Institute's religious liberty in the state's index. My friends at First Liberty Institute, one of the nation's leading law firms protecting religious freedom, just released their index.

29:28And it ranks all 50 states on how well each state protects your right to live out your faith. And the results, they're full of surprises. If you haven't heard of First Liberty, they're totally different. They've been on the front lines defending religious freedom for nearly 30 years. And here's the best part. When your faith comes under attack, they're often first in the fight and they do it without ever sending their clients a bill that's right they don't charge a dime with a win rate of over 90 percent of their cases including a 9-0 record at the supreme court they're committed to help protect your religious freedom which is why i believe this state by state report so important this religious liberty in the states index is a peer-reviewed study it can help you get a real picture of religious liberty all across america so do you want to see where your state ranks, get your free copy today at firstliberty.org slash Vince.
