Speaker 6 That right there is the F-16 fleet of the Venezuelan Air Force, Venezuela preparing for war with the United States.

Speaker 6 Fox reports that Venezuela has mobilized its troops and its weapons in response to U.S. warship buildup in the Caribbean.
Venezuela is in war mode right now.

Speaker 6 Talk about that in a moment, and specifically what the Colombian President Petra has to say.

Speaker 6 I want to shift gears, though, and just talk briefly about what's happening right now in the West Bank and in Gaza, where that ceasefire thing, I don't even want to call it a deal that Donald Trump touted as a historic peace deal, it's quickly unraveling.

Speaker 6 We've been seeing Israeli settlers storming into West Bank towns. We've been seeing Hamas consolidating its control again in Gaza.
We've seen the IDF kill over 100 Palestinians already.

Speaker 6 We've seen Netanyahu and Smutrich refuse to acknowledge a two-state solution. They never did to begin with.
There's really no end in sight.

Speaker 6 There's really no ceasefire that ever existed in the first place. And there was certainly no historic peace deal where the...
deal part is usually discussed. U.S.

Speaker 6 Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the following about settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Speaker 6 We're concerned that the violent events in the West Bank will spill over and undermine what we are doing in the Gaza Strip.

Speaker 6 We're trying to prevent that from happening, but both President Herzog and the Israeli chief of staff have strongly condemned these attacks.

Speaker 6 The IDF also sent forces there to deal with it because their soldiers were attacked. So that's what's happening in the Middle East.
I always want to...

Speaker 6 connect that to also what's happening here on the domestic side where Donald Trump continues to unravel following the release of the 20,000 Epstein emails that the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee made public.

Speaker 6 And oh, were these damaging to Donald Trump? I mean, there were messages like this, Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers, as Leah McElworth says, both are very bad people.

Speaker 6 And here's how they describe Donald Trump. I've met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump.
Not one decent cell in his body. Yes, dangerous.
That's what Epstein says to Larry Summers.

Speaker 6 And there's also all these messages where Epstein talks about how Donald Trump's the dog that didn't bark and he was with the victim and lots of other damning emails.

Speaker 6 But perhaps none more damning than this one right here, Jeffrey Epstein's email to the former prime minister of Norway, Throldbon Jaglund.

Speaker 6 And Epstein says to the former prime minister of Norway, I think you might suggest to Putin that Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, can get insight on talking to me.

Speaker 6 Vitaly Churkin used to, but he died. And then Jagland writes, I'll meet Lavrov's assistant on Monday and we'll suggest it.
Thank you for a lovely evening. I'll come to the UN high level this week.

Speaker 6 And then Epstein responds, Churkin was great. He understood after our conversation.
It's not complex. He must be seen to get something.
It's that simple.

Speaker 6 In other words, Epstein seems to have been giving compromise to Russia's top officials regarding Trump and basically had a consulting business.

Speaker 6 And by the way, that message I just sent, I just showed you about speaking with Lavrov, that was just a few weeks before Donald Trump met with Putin in Helsinki.

Speaker 6 And just to remind you what went down in Helsinki, a few weeks after that email, here's a reminder. Let's play the clip of Trump in Helsinki.

Speaker 6 Would you now, with the whole world watching, tell President Putin, would you denounce what happened in 2016 and would you warn him to never do it again?

Speaker 9 My people came to me. Dan Coates came to me and some others.
They said they think it's Russia.

Speaker 9 I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia.
I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be.
So I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but

Speaker 9 I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.

Speaker 6 Okay, now going back to Donald Trump's post and stuff like this. This is what he was posting yesterday.

Speaker 6 In other words, the Democrats are using the Jeffrey Epstein hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures, in particular their most recent one, the shutdown.

Speaker 6 Then Donald Trump posts, the Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein hoax again, and they'll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they've done on the shutdown and so many other subjects.

Speaker 6 Only a very bad or stupid Republican would fall into that trap.

Speaker 6 The Democrats cost our country country $1.5 trillion with their recent antics of viciously closing our country while at the same time putting many at risk and they should pay a fair price.

Speaker 6 There should be no deflections, no deflections, everybody, to Epstein or anything else.

Speaker 6 And any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening our country and fixing the massive damage caused by Democrats.

Speaker 6 You want to know how the MAGA people are talking about Donald Trump spiraling out of control? I've been showing you post after post after post of MAGA followers who are like, we're done with Trump.

Speaker 6 He's a traitor. He betrayed us all.
There's a lot of reasons, not just the Epstein files, but Donald Trump saying that Chinese students are way better than American students.

Speaker 6 That's why we need 600,000 Chinese students because American students aren't good enough to fill the universities.

Speaker 6 And then Donald Trump said that the H-1B visa program is so necessary because Americans don't have skilled workers and Americans can't do high-skilled work at all. And therefore, we need

Speaker 6 foreigners to do the work. And MAGA, like, absolutely lost it.
But then you have all these MAGA influencers who are like just Trump propagandists. It's ridiculous.
This is where they're going.

Speaker 6 As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski goes, in 10 months, MAGA went from, he's the new Messiah to look, we don't have anyone else.

Speaker 6 So MAGA influencer Denish D'Souza says, all this posting by fickle MAGA types, I'm done with Trump. He's on his own.
Trump has always been fine on his own.

Speaker 6 He doesn't need us as much as we need him to fix the country. Right now, we don't have anyone else.
I'll start to worry when Trump says he's done with us.

Speaker 6 Y'all are in the weirdest freaking cult imaginable. And Steve Bannon goes, Trump's not perfect.
He's an imperfect instrument, but one infused by divine providence. Without him, we'd have nothing.

Speaker 6 So stay focused. This is 12 o'clock high.
We're on a bombing run. Don't lose sight of the mission, as our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes.

Speaker 6 Sloppy Steve doing damage control with the cult today, trying to talk them off the ledge. Caroline Levitts trying to convince the cult that prices are steadying and down.

Speaker 6 And she cites DoorDash as her source. DoorDash data.
We went from the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishing inflation data, publishing.

Speaker 6 data on jobs reports. And now Caroline Levitt says that we're not going to be able to do that anymore.
She goes in the future too, not just because of the shutdown.

Speaker 6 She's like, Democrats destroyed the data. So we can't even do inflate CPI, which is how the Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation,

Speaker 6 will never be able to show that again. Just here's Caroline Levitt saying that during her press conference yesterday.
Just here's their plan, just to not show us the data.

Speaker 6 Because if you don't test, you never get sick, according to Trump. Here, play this clip of Levitt.

Speaker 10 Economists, investors, and policymakers at the Federal Reserve to receive critical government data.

Speaker 10 The Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system with October CPI and jobs reports likely never being released.

Speaker 10 And all of that economic data released will be permanently impaired, leaving our policymakers at the Fed flying blind at a critical period.

Speaker 6 So now she's citing DoorDash.

Speaker 6 And even her citing of DoorDash misleading. The report, if you actually read it, shows rising food prices.

Speaker 6 The average price of a cheeseburger, a soda, and fries increased 3.8% year over year in September, while typical restaurant meals rose 3.2%.

Speaker 6 And by the way, I don't need to look at this stupid DoorDash thing. We all, if you are living in America and you're going out to a store, you're seeing the prices way higher.

Speaker 6 So when Trump's like 25% cheaper this Thanksgiving than last Thanksgiving, it's just not true. Like we know, we know you're lying because we, because we exist in the world.

Speaker 6 You may exist with your MAGA Republicans in the golden ballroom where you all are part of a PPP, the pedophile protection program.

Speaker 6 Like, yeah, like you're all covering up for child sex trafficking rings and golden triumphal arches or whatever the hell you're doing.

Speaker 6 But like when normal human beings, we go out to stores, we see what the prices are. Like tariffs are forcing brands to cut back on Black Friday deals.
Brands can offer deals.

Speaker 6 Consumer sentiment has tanked since Trump took office. It's well below last year's levels.
Just the worst, like essentially consumer expectations and confidence is like the worst ever.

Speaker 6 And here's what Donald Trump has to say, though, that his and this is what he said last night when he was signing the continuing resolution that will take away health care from 20 million Americans, but allow Republican senators to file lawsuits against the government and steal a million dollars each of our taxpayer dollars because they claim they were injured when special counsel Jack Smith issued a subpoena that simply showed their phone number and the length of the call, not wiretap, not eavesdrop.

Speaker 6 So we're giving $40 billion to Argentina. Check.
Republican senators just paid themselves each a million dollars apiece or so.

Speaker 6 Seriously.

Speaker 6 But anyway, this is what Trump says here. Let's play it.

Speaker 11 The federal government will now resume normal operations, and my administration and our partners partners in Congress will continue our work to lower the cost of living, restore public safety, grow our economy and make America affordable again for all Americans.

Speaker 11 Again, costs are way down. Energy is way down.
Gasoline is at $2.50 a gallon versus $4.70 for the Democrats. And we think we're going to hit pretty close to $2 a gallon.

Speaker 11 That's like a really massive tax cut. It's the equivalent of that.

Speaker 6 And then Trump says, we're going to get rid of insurance and totally. We're just going to get rid of it.
We're going to pay money to the people. They're going to buy their own health care.

Speaker 6 We're going to give people $2,000 checks and then get rid of health care. Okay.
You just don't know how healthcare works. Okay.

Speaker 6 Insurance insures against. usually like a bad injury that costs more than $2,000.
And before Obamacare, insurance companies discriminated on the basis of pre-existing conditions.

Speaker 6 And that was a big issue because people would just just die. So you need insurance.
Will the government, will the government be the insurer, right? Which I think it should.

Speaker 6 I think there should be universal health care. The government guarantees insurance free for everybody.

Speaker 6 That's how I feel. You can disagree.
Obamacare is like a little bit of a hybrid.

Speaker 6 And then you subsidize private insurance and you try to make it as cheap as you can, but the premiums are still expensive. But people get insurance and that's important.
Or what's your plan?

Speaker 6 But here's what Trump, handing people $2,000, which by the way, you're not going to do because you're a liar. That's not a solution here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 11 And we're willing to pay so much money to the people. So we're going to pay a lot of money to the people.

Speaker 11 They're going to go out and buy their own health care and we're going to forget this Obamacare madness.

Speaker 6 And then I was referencing at the beginning Colombia as President Petro. Here's what he says about the situation in Venezuela and how he connects it.

Speaker 6 to the Epstein files and that America's pedo ring is trying to provoke wars wars to cover up the child sex trafficking ring that they're covering up. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 6 Clan of Pedophiles wants to end democracy in Colombia.

Speaker 12 Harsh, yes, but that's the reality.

Speaker 12 And so that the list doesn't come out, they send us armored vehicles to kill fishermen from the city and threaten the neighbor, whether dictator or not.

Speaker 12 How is it that the people of Colombia are going to applaud invading their brother, which is not the president, but the people of Venezuela?

Speaker 6 And Adelita Grijalva was sworn in.

Speaker 6 So why don't we end this on Adelita Grajalva's powerful speech and talking about what it was like to be deprived of representing her constituents for months as a result of MAGA covering up for a sex trafficking ring.

Speaker 6 Here, play this quib.

Speaker 8 What is most concerning is not what this administration has done,

Speaker 8 but what the majority in this body has failed to do.

Speaker 8 Hold Trump accountable as a co-equal branch of government that we are.

Speaker 8 It has been 50 days since the people of Arizona's 7th congressional district elected me to represent them.

Speaker 8 50 days that over 800,000 Arizonans have been left without access to the basic services that every constituent deserves.

Speaker 8 This is an abuse of power.

Speaker 8 One individual should not be able to unilaterally obstruct the swearing in of a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons.
