We appreciate you being here. George Ballantyne, how are you? I'm busy, Lance. I'm fucking shitty morning. Uh-oh, that's not good. I hate when George says shitty morning. It's never good. All right. Well, listen, we've got a lot going on. Lots to cover today, of course. And I've got a great set the mood to start with. This little girl is a beast. Pretty incredible.

[00:01:31] And I love her pump up before she pulls what I guess is a world record at this point. Pretty interesting for a young girl like this to be this focused. And I think this is the kind of focus you can bring to your everyday life. So let's fire it up, George. For the internet sensation, Lucy. No drum. On deck is going to be a little emoji. Oh, my. The whole. The summer. The summer.

[00:02:16] Against a 141.

[00:03:13] 180 pounds. Nine-year-old. Pretty incredible. But I love the intensity and focus of her. And, of course, you can bring that into your everyday lives. Listen, of course, here we are at the Big Mink Show doing what we're doing. Excited to be here. And it is what it is. Of course, Zoe's tip of the spirit, edge of the knife. George, lots going on in Texas. Yeah. So, sorry. You asked me about my morning. So let me tell you. Because now everything's set. First thing I do is get my office. Back of my chair is broke. Like, poof.

[00:03:43] I'm like, man. How did that happen? I don't know. Something with the screws. I have to take it all apart and try to fix it. Then the internet, my upload speed since last night was deadly bad, terribly slow. You know, when you're on, like, with Verizon, whatever. So I restarted the convo this morning. Been on, like, an hour. And I had to end it because I had to come on the show. Wow. Yeah, it's horrible. And the OBSBOT camera controls have been finicky all morning.

[00:04:11] I haven't been able to get them to function the correct way. So the zoom, the pan, you name it, not good. I've restarted my computer a couple times. So I don't know what to do about this. At the end of the day, it is what it is. You got to keep doing what you got to do to make it happen. And that's what we always do here on this show. You got to persevere. All right, George. You know, we warned people. We said, look, neither choice is great. We're not huge fans of either the Republicans or the Democrats.

[00:04:39] And we told you, as soon as they got in there, chaos. All going to be about chaos. Well, tell me what's going on here in Texas, George, because this is not good. It's pretty horrendous. They just are getting in there. I mean, day one, here they go. They haven't been, I don't think they've fully gotten in yet, but this is what they're signaling. And you know, look, you know what, Lance? I didn't put your thumbnail up. Shame on me. What was I thinking?

[00:05:07] Uh, let me put it up so everybody can see Lance's thumbnail. Texas day one. The Democrats are going to file an assault weapons plan plus 20 other gun bills that they want to change or ban. And now, you know, listen, Texas is always known for their guns, you know, gun on the hip walking around. But, you know, Texans, listen, you reap what you sow. You guys voted for this. Now you got to deal with the consequences.

[00:05:34] You know, when I always said, when I, you know, when I get to, when I move, Texas was one of the states that was on top, probably top three on the list. Not anymore. Nope. You guys are way down. I mean, it's going to be a shit show there for a while until it gets refixed, but I mean, 20 bills. I already want to do sweeping new firearm restrictions. And this is on the very first day. I bet they didn't campaign, campaign on that telling you they were going to do that, did they?

[00:06:04] No, I didn't hear any politician Democrats saying they were going to do that in Texas. I don't know Lance, if you heard it, but that's what Democrats do. Can you imagine all the Texas? I could, you know what? I could see every Texans, Texas gun over saying, screw that. They're going to ride around with their hip and take matters into their own hands. That's what it seems like. I mean, I don't know. At the end of the day, you're, you're over the target. We warned you.

[00:06:32] I said it was going to be chaos. And Texas for the people that, and again, I'm, you know, I'm seeing a lot of things. There's a lot of, I have a lot of questions about the, the truth of this election. There's a lot of numbers that aren't making sense. I'm going to have some tell you about Colorado here in a few minutes, but regardless. For the people that voted for this stuff in Texas, you are going to face the consequences.

[00:06:59] Because if they're starting on guns day one, who knows what day two, three, four, five, six, seven, and the rest of those days are going to look like. It's going to be horrible. Because that's what they do, right? They're not worried about the policies that the people in Texas want. Because I don't hear anybody screaming for gun control in Texas, at least the majority. There may be some fringers that are doing it, but in general, Texas loves their guns. They love their second amendment. But here you are.

[00:07:29] So they've got a, the first move is SB 80, which is a ban on assault weapons, including any possession. HB 173 and others are going to make it a felony to transfer many semi-automatic rifles to adults under 21. HB 712s let cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections. HB 613 background checks on private gun sales. HB 659 dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines.

[00:07:59] HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that banned red flag orders. I mean, basically the only thing standing in their way right now is the Republican Texas Senate. Are you guys going to hold the line? I don't know. I think it's unlikely. I don't even know what to think anymore about any of this. I'm questioning all of it. So this is what Democrat control looks like. You know, Texas, you were warned.

[00:08:27] And listen, you turned the state in the direction. I know a lot of you legitimately voted for these Democrats because, oh, I'm unhappy at the pumps. I'm unhappy at the grocery store. Look, look at what happened. Gas is already down under four bucks a gallon nationwide and nothing's changed. So what is that? It's manipulation of the market. Clearly, they were manipulating the gas prices to keep them as high as possible up until the midterms.

[00:08:55] How do they drop 50, 60 cents nationwide on average? I have no idea. Nothing's changed. We're still in Iran. The futures haven't changed. Oil futures. None of it's changed. But all of a sudden the prices drop. If you're going to tell me that that isn't fake manipulation, that they didn't do it intentionally to damage the administration and hurt the American public. It's a conspiracy. It's racketeering. It's Rico. And I'm not sure they didn't do the same thing at the grocery stores because I am sure

[00:09:23] we're going to see some prices drop and they're not just dropping because, oh my gosh, the Democrats are in charge. Everything's going to be OK. It's fake manipulation. It's fraud. There's no reason that the prices should be down at the pumps. Not that I'm not happy that the prices are down at the pumps, but there's no cause and effect. So the whole thing is fake.

[00:09:50] You know, if the if this in in Texas, if the Senate is still majority red Republican, I'm wondering how they're going to you know, they're not going to stand there whenever their house sends them bills. They're not going to co-sign it. I I'm curious to see how this is going to play out. I'm just not sure I agree with you because these state senators and state congressmen and these and the federal congressmen and senators, have they done anything for us, George?

[00:10:20] They've been just pathetic all across the nation. The Republicans have really dropped the ball. They've stood on the sidelines. They've stomped their feet and made a bunch of noise and they haven't done anything effective. Will they protect the Second Amendment? Remember, shall not be infringed is in the state Texas Constitution. It's also in the federal constitution. Shall not be infringed. It doesn't say some things are going to be infringed. Some things are going to be obstructed. It doesn't say that.

[00:10:50] Shall not be infringed. Pretty simple. But since when does any Congress, federal or state pay attention to their constitution? I would say it just doesn't happen. They're acting like the Constitution isn't the supreme law of the land and isn't supposed to be what sets the precedence for all laws at the state and federal level. I just had a discussion over on Liberty Roundtable Live this morning. And the truth of the matter is. I don't know.

[00:11:16] I don't think any of these Congresses care what the Constitution says. They're just going to do whatever they want to do in any way they want to do it. But Colorado sucks. More election BS. And this one's horrible. And do I know that I live in an awful state? I absolutely do. My plan is to get out of here. Like George, I looked at states. One of the main states I was interested in was Florida. I want to get out of here, but I have to have a reason to get out of here. It's not just the politics.

[00:11:45] I have to have, you know, why am I going to Florida? Is there a situation where there's improvement for me? Or am I going to be working with the crypto company or something else? Who knows? That's what we're working on. George and I are working on that behind the scenes. I'm going regardless of cryptocurrency, this and that. It's because of the weather and change of life. Well, yeah, you've had some things happen in your life that have made that possible for you. So I can appreciate your reasoning. Colorado sucks. And here's why. Election issues.

[00:12:12] Colorado has more registered voters than census adult citizens. What? Yeah. It's just as bad as I said. 53 of 64 counties are over 100%. San Juan County is 150% over the census numbers for registered voters. Mineral County, 147%. Elbert County, 126%.

[00:12:39] Douglas County, 117%. El Paso County, 50,160 over the census. So my question is, why are so many of these rolls over the adult census citizen account? Can anybody explain that? Because it doesn't look like it can be explained. Not if you don't bring in fraud or cheating into the mix. The census numbers are supposed to be pretty darn accurate.

[00:13:08] Does everybody report to the census? Maybe not. Is it perfect? Maybe not. But these are some big numbers. George, I don't know how to look at anything other than this. There's one big fraudulent registered fake voter setup. Well, if we have more people registered than on a consensus, that means there's illegals on there.

[00:13:38] Voting or people just didn't fill out the census correctly. It could be that. I mean, a lot of people, there's people that just don't participate in the census. Americans itself. Whenever that census people came by, I kicked them out of my way. Get out of here. I don't want to partake in that shit sometimes. But, you know, Lance, we could talk about election stuff, how there's anomalies in this election. But what good is it going to do? We still haven't figured out in 2020 what they were going to rectify that.

[00:14:07] And we're just going to go in this big loop again. The only way to figure this, to do this, is we have to out-cheat them at their own game. And it just, from 2020 to every election after, we're after the fact, we still have, we have to beat them at their own game and cheat at their own game. It's the only way they're cheating. Otherwise, we're going to be- I don't disagree with you. Saying the same thing.

[00:14:36] It's horrible that that's how we have to think, but it looks like that's the only way. But at the end of the day, I don't trust the Republicans to do it. 700 plus bills sitting at the Senate doing nothing. This is one of the most ineffective and useless Congresses that has ever served the American people. And why is that? Because we didn't vote them all out. We probably should have voted the entire slew of them out. Should we have voted Democrat? Probably not. But I'm not sure that either one of those choices were good.

[00:15:05] But if I have to pick the lesser of the two evils, I would have taken the Republicans. But first, I would have fixed the voting system. I thought that's what this administration was going to do. I thought it was what Donald Trump was going to do. He was going to bring us a free and fair election system that we could trust. That does not appear to be the case. All right. Well, looks like they must watch the Big MIG show. As you guys know, a couple of days ago, we did a show. We said they've got 60 days left. Don't sit around crying in your spilled milk.

[00:15:34] Take the time on those 60 days to do something right. I was talking directly to the Republicans, as was George. Well, now it looks like the House Freedom Caucus is saying no leaving town until it's done. They're saying there should be a 60-day America First agenda on Johnson and Thune. Demand voter ID, border crackdowns, $1 trillion in spending cuts before the Democrats take power.

[00:16:00] John Thune sitting around crying like a little biatch doesn't want to be voted out, which I can't imagine. He sucks at his job. But, you know, the American Freedom Caucus is made up of a lot of senators that are saying, listen, we ought to be able to do something in the time we have left. And I agree with him. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, they've been, you know,

[00:16:25] urged by the House Freedom Caucus to pass a comprehensive America First agenda in the final 60 days before the Democrats take power. George, I can swear that's exactly what we said on the show, is it not? It is 100% exactly what you said, we said, they said. I mean, at least the House of Representatives are taking action and trying to do something. You have a bunch of senators trying to delay Thune vote, which is today, tonight.

[00:16:55] I don't know if they have enough yet, but they should all boycott that vote for a Senate minority leader. Because Thune hasn't done anything. As a matter of fact, there's nobody running against them, which that says a lot. Somebody should step up. Instead of being all talk and say you don't want to sign this and that, step up and run against them. I would if I was a senator. Lance would, too.

[00:17:22] It would be so easy to point out all his failures, what he failed to do for American people versus what could be done. I mean, right now. George, do you realize that they only have 20 scheduled legislative days? Remaining based on their schedule. But they're saying they only have 20 days of work time scheduled between now and January. Yeah, motherfucker. You know what? They can work the weekends if they want to.

[00:17:50] They can call into sessions on the weekends and get it done. They can skip their holidays because they sure, with the amount of time they've taken off, I feel like they don't deserve any holidays. You guys in the chat, you tell me, do you think these guys should just cancel all their holiday trips and work the entire time between now and January 3rd? I would argue yes, because they have worked less than almost any other Congress. Did you know that? They've turned in less days of work than almost any other single Congress.

[00:18:16] They just got all, you know, doing all their midterm work where most of them weren't working through all the midterms and they were out campaigning, which clearly didn't work very well. And here they are saying that they're only going to work 20 days of the next 56 or seven days they have left. That's less than 50%, you lazy bastards. Wow.

[00:18:37] Of course, this agenda they're trying to push for would be good because they're talking about voter ID in federal elections, border security legislation, crackdown on sanctuary cities, congressional term limits, a ban on government officials trading stocks, major energy reforms, and at least $1 trillion in federal spending reductions. Sounds great.

[00:19:28] Provide significant tax relief for families, particularly for health care. Expansion of HSAs in terms of both savings. They're pushing to provide at least $1 trillion in spending reductions. That would be a good idea. Codify the president's border security policies. Limit annual spending to current levels. Pass a robust permitting bill to expand American energy dominance and drive down the price of fuel and electricity for families. I mean, all of this sounds great, George.

[00:19:55] George, what do you think, George, if you had to give poly market odds on these lazy, worthless sacks of shit in Congress? And I'd call out the House and the Senate. What would you say the likelihood of them doing any of this stuff is going to pass? Even presidential nominees, which should be easy enough at this point, just to prove them. Well, you can't put odds. I mean, they could get nominees. I'm asking you to put odds. Hold on.

[00:20:25] I'm saying, let me finish. You can get the nominees done. They can get that done within 20 days because they could put them all on one big vote like they'd done before. But if you're talking about getting the Save America Act and other bills, then I doubt it. So I think they're going to do nothing. All right. Let's play this clip from John Thune, as much as I can't stand this guy.

[00:20:50] Well, this dude, all he cares about, he goes on the floor and says and walks out saying he's ready to go all out and opposing Democrats and saying leftist agenda. Post midterm wins. And he's talking about when they take control. What about now? If you're all about opposing it, do it now. Get shit done. I agree. This is what he's a prime example of uniparty. And you tell me that other senators are going to want him as their leader.

[00:21:21] What does that say about all the other senators? If nobody's no senators speak out against him publicly, then go in on it. It's a big sham. That's why it's got to be 1776 all over again. All right. Play the clip. Sign of Americans' frustration with the high cost of living. That they've been dealing with, literally, since the opening days of the Biden administration. It was not. It was not a mandate for radical policy and socialist fantasies.

[00:21:50] And so if Republicans are prepared to work in a bipartisan way, we will also emphatically oppose Democrats when required to protect hardworking Americans in our system of government. We will oppose any attempt to balloon the size of government or tear down American institutions, as the Democratic Socialists would like to do.

[00:22:13] In fact, growing the size of the government is the last thing we should be doing if we want to make life more affordable for hardworking Americans. And I hope my Democrat colleagues realize this. The American people are not looking for socialist government and leftist fantasies. They're looking for lower gas prices. They want their grocery bills to stop growing.

[00:22:42] They want to be able to afford to buy a house for their growing family. If Democrats are committed to real work on those issues, then Republicans are ready to work with them. My Democrat colleagues have spent a lot of time talking about affordability this election cycle. But they don't exactly have a stellar record on delivering. Their signature bill in the 117th Congress, the so-called American Rescue.

[00:23:14] Yep, that's a great majority. He can ram through shit right now if he means business. What? I'm more worried about going home and doing nothing. Yep. Well, Speaker Johnson's calling him out. He's saying it's time. We have 60 days and then the Democratic Party control. The House will work. We will stay here around the clock if necessary to push things over. Because it all depends on the Senate. Let's play the clip.

[00:23:44] They did not want to give the president and Republicans any more wins as we went into this election cycle. So the question really is for the Senate. The House will work. We will stay here around the clock if necessary, push things over. We've got things pending over there right now, big things. The Farm Bill, the NDAA. You've got FISA. You have a reconciliation bill that's still sitting there. We have government funding issues. They didn't even pass a single appropriations bill in the Senate. It's been a great frustration to us.

[00:24:11] The House has been one of the most productive chambers and most productive houses in the history of the institution, certainly in the modern era. But the Senate blocked it all. And so the question is, what are we going to be able to accomplish in this lame duck? We really have to ask the Senate because the House is willing and able to pass and continue to move legislation. But it hits a stone wall over there. So I'm hopeful that their leadership elections get resolved quickly and that they can move things. There's some good indication just here within the last hour, I'm told.

[00:24:39] They got the cloture to move forward on the permitting bill, which is a big, important thing. We have things like the college sports bills that are still pending. There's all sorts of really important initiatives, the Ratepayer Protection Act and all the rest. So the question is for the Senate, not the House. We'll get our job done. We'll have the personnel here to get the legislation passed. And we certainly hope we can have a very, very productive lame duck and send much more to the president's desk before we have to turn the keys over in January.

[00:25:10] Turn the keys over in January. Interesting. You know, the problem is we keep going over the same thing with the Republicans. There is no unity among them. They are all over the place. They don't support each other. And another example is I'm going to do Thomas Massey. You know, he says he's a Republican conservative, but, you know, he lost his seat. All right. Sucks. But don't be sore at losing. Start attacking other conservatives just because you're mad.

[00:25:40] You're sore that you lost. I mean, he put in the articles of impeachment on Pete Hexeth. Based on what? Based on what? And anybody, you know, I know there's Massey supporters. You know, that's great. You can support him. But I'd really like to know what your thoughts on that, on him doing that. I mean, well, I can, I can tell you what he, what he's doing and why it's completely, in my opinion, unjustified.

[00:26:04] But he's saying that the, that Pete Hexeth was, was in constitutional violation. But my argument would be, since when does Congress care about the Constitution? Since when does our judiciary care about the Constitution? You guys have been ignoring the Constitution for decades. Enough that I think it's seditious conspiracy. I think you should all be drug out of there for ignoring the Constitution, for ignoring the American people.

[00:26:31] But you want to selectively use the Constitution when it, when it serves you. Oh, we're going to use the Constitution. We're going to go after Pete Hexeth. The, the military, the people in the military love Pete Hexeth. He's done more in his time period in the Department of War, Department of Defense, call it whatever you want, than probably any other leader. I mean, the morale is way up with the troops. Recruiting is way up.

[00:27:00] You know, at one point they were talking about having a mandatory draft because recruiting was so down. Pete is fixing everything from the food to the living quarters and all the rest of it. And all you can do is do what you're doing, Thomas Massey, which is division and chaos. And it's not that I disagree with a lot of things you've said, but this is not the right way to do it. And I don't think Pete Hexeth should be the scapegoat for some garbage that you're serving up. Don't be a sore loser.

[00:27:28] Why don't you spend the next 60 days passing the 700 bills instead of starting some impeachment process? You guys are a bunch of jerk offs. At the end of the day, you get what you get when you have jerk offs like this around. Lance, a lot of some of this falls on Trump because you and I, we had a discussion yesterday on the phone. And we're going to talk about that a little bit right now, too, before we go to break, because here's the thing with Trump. Right.

[00:27:51] Right. So you find out two years into his presidency, this term, that Susan Wiles is the bad apple causing a lot of issues. And the thing was thing is he could have found out a lot sooner. But if you people are close to Trump or if you go to him and try to tell him this. He don't want to hear it. And you could be put to the back end of the administration or getting getting.

[00:28:20] Any feedback or information, it's just. So how do you how do you fix that? Trump, I mean. You would think President Trump. He would respect more people giving him the truth than just yes. Yes, men or women. That's a big problem. No doubt about it. All right. We're going to take a short break here on the Big Ming Show. Be right back. When we come back, we'll be talking about Donald Trump. And what the hell, man? Seems like he's flip flop and I'm not excited about it.

[00:28:49] We'll see what you guys in the audience think. Stay tuned. We'll be right back here with George Balentine, myself, Lance Miliaccio. Big Ming Show, baby. Take the live link. We're on the break. Share it far and wide. Tell other people to come into the room and roll your own social media on what we're doing here. Stay tuned. We'll be right back.

[00:29:17] Something truly remarkable is happening in the world of cancer care just south of the U.S. border.

[00:33:04] So a lot going on with Trump's 60, and I'm surprised he did the 60 Minutes interview with 60 Minutes again. I mean, no kidding, right? Because they're going around saying he said amnesty when he really didn't say amnesty. But he did say he's now endorsed. First, he goes after the election, I'm vetoing everything.

[00:33:25] Now he's flip-flopping, which is stupid, that he now endorses a deal with Democrats, saying people who want full deportations. Listen to this shit. He said people who want full deportations are on the pretty far right. Not true. No. No.

[00:33:46] And he's talking about, you know, working some deal for, he's talking about illegals that have been here for like 10 or 15 years or longer that are working in society, this and that. I believe he still wants to get rid of the criminals. But just saying it's the far right, it's definitely not true. I mean, nobody really knows the true numbers of how many illegals came over under Joe Biden. We have 30 million. Some people, you know, says 100 million. I don't know if I believe that because he's trying to sell his book.

[00:34:16] Show me the proof. The 100 million was the total number. It wasn't just during Joe Biden. He suggested that there were a lot of illegals that were here before Joe Biden ever opened the borders. But if you give amnesty or if you give a path to citizenship or amnesty for how many of those illegals, just think about if they're not voting already, how many more democratic votes are giving them? Because, you know, the Democrats are going to say, we did this deal. We made Trump do this.

[00:34:43] You know, and all the people illegals are going to eat it up saying, yeah, you know, they didn't do it for us when they had control. They needed the Dems to come in and force us to make it work. So you might want to rethink this statement and what you're doing. Just saying. I mean, me personally, if there's people that have been here 15, 20 years and I know some of them and they're raising their families, they're working and actually contributing to society. I'm all they're not criminals.

[00:35:10] I'm all good for letting them, letting some of them stay because it all helps out with the economy and everything. But all the crazy ones, the criminals now get their asses out and gang members out. Get out. You want to play the clip you said? Mm hmm. OK. What is one thing you would like to work with a Democratic majority? I'd love to do something on immigration. What? Because, well, so. Do you think immigration hurt you in the midterms? I think.

[00:35:39] Do you think the crackdown hurt you? I think it both helped and hurt. I think I got an A plus for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out. But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs that created one violation or breaking of the law. And that was that they came into the country illegally. Now, there is a large part of the country that think that they should be put out. And there's a large part of the country that think that they should be allowed to stay.

[00:36:08] If they're good people working in a landscaping company or working in a hotel or doing something, right? And in some cases paying taxes. Mm hmm. And there's a large group of people think that they should be allowed to stay. So you think your deportation policy went too far? It was too tough. I think it might be too tough. Yeah. What would happen? What does the deal look like with the Democrats? Ultimately, that hurt me. Well, the deal would be we would work something out. And I think it's something I think that's something that's actually doable.

[00:36:36] Doable to create some kind of some kind of legal status for the landscapers. Yeah. When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that's worked there as a, you know, as a maid, as a cleaner, as a this, as a that, as a waitress, a lot of good things. Great job. And all of a sudden they're being taken out of the country. It's tough. It's a tough thing. But there's a group of people that I would say on the sort of pretty far right that would like everybody taken out. Do some of them. There's a group of people.

[00:37:05] Do any of those people work in your administration? Are they in the building with us right now? No, no. Well, there are a lot of those people. Then there's also people that are more modified on that. In other words, get the killers out. Get all the rough ones out. Get the drug dealers out. But let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them. You think the Democratic Party right now has people in it who would be interested in this kind of deal? I think so, yeah.

[00:37:34] People have already called me. So I'll say I saw James Tallarico, the new Democratic senator from Texas. Said very nice things, yeah. I saw him on Fox News, and he said immigration was one of the things he wanted to work with. Others do. South Carolina said. You did. You did. In the course of the campaign. I still don't understand why he did a 60-minute interview after all the shit they did last time. Changes words. That's because the administration doesn't put their money where their mouth is in a lot of ways.

[00:38:03] Let's face it. They said they weren't going to buy into the mainstream media, that alt media was going to be their go-to. And they basically, I think that's one of the things that impacted them on the midterms. They treated alt media like we weren't important. They didn't give us the interviews. They didn't give us the time. And they didn't give us any financial support. It's not like the Republicans called us to run commercials on the big, big show. They didn't run commercials on any alt media, but yet that's where their voter base is. So, although the Democrats did.

[00:38:33] All right. DHS Secretary Mullen announced that Trump has asked him to work with the Democrats on immigration. So this is already in the works. I don't know that I agree with it because it's hard to make laws be flexible whenever you need them to. Usually it's black or white. It's not gray. I can appreciate the fact that there are a lot of good people here that came into the country illegally and have been in their jobs for 10 or 15 years, have lived there, and aren't criminals. But I don't know how you grease the skids for them.

[00:39:03] Who's going to be vetting them? I'm not confident that immigration, DHS, or anybody in this administration, or the Democrats for that matter, will do a good enough job of vetting these people. They came in here illegally. They violated these laws here in the United States. And if they did that in any other country and were caught, they would be expelled from the country. Now, should we do some kind of a fast track for them to come back into the country once they're out? Maybe. I'm not saying these people don't deserve an opportunity.

[00:39:32] I'm saying that the way they came in the country, they started off violating the laws of the United States. I don't know how you make it flexible. And who's going to make the decision, George? Who decides if George Ballantyne came here illegally that George Ballantyne isn't part of a criminal cartel or hasn't done anything to violate the laws of the United States, or even if he's paying his taxes? Maybe he never paid his taxes the entire time. Who's going to do the vetting?

[00:39:56] I'm not confident of this administration or any other administration being in charge of this vetting process and deciding who stays and who goes. Hold on. Somebody said in the chat, let me find you. Sorry. New person. Where are you? Pocket Ninja 2506. What's up? Welcome to the chat and the show.

[00:40:20] He says, or she says, I don't know if you're here or she, so illegal is illegal, no amnesty for anyone. I kind of totally agree with you on that. You know, and I agree with that individual because at the end of the day, I just don't think that having rules that are flexible. Here's the law over here, but hang on a minute. It doesn't apply to Lance Miliacho because he's been a good guy. Who's going to decide if I was a good guy?

[00:40:45] I just don't, I can't count on this administration, whether it's Republican or Democrat, to do the right thing and have a system that I trust. So I don't know. All right. The Democratic playbook for the midterms. Oil crashed the day after the Democrats took Congress. I've said this over and over again. It was an organized plot to keep the prices up, to impact and effectively manipulate our elections. This Van Jones went on CNN and admitted the quiet part out loud.

[00:41:15] The day after the election, Brent Crude fell 8.7 percent in a single day. WTI fell 13 percent on the week. Worst week for oil since COVID. Nothing about the war changed overnight. Only the election ended and it's still falling this morning. WTI is down nearly $87 a barrel. Tankers are still getting hit near the Strait of Hormuz, but the fear is gone right on schedule. And I would agree with this. Nothing has changed.

[00:41:47] The official story is that the traitors think a Democrat Congress will force Trump to end the war. Maybe hold that thought for a minute because Van Jones, when he went on CNN, bragged about how they did it. His exact words, the Republicans never figured out what we were doing. Let me repeat that. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. That's an acknowledgement of price fixing. That's a crime.

[00:42:14] It's a manipulation of a commodities market. There are multiple statutes on the books. I think this administration should immediately trigger an investigation and people should be charged. What does Van Jones know that the American public and Congress doesn't know? Jones said Democrats ran something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of real people, not bots, coordinated to post the same message everywhere, every day.

[00:42:44] And the message never changed. Everything is unaffordable. Gas costs too much. And it is all the Republicans' fault. Jones went on to say that they tied kitchen table pain to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative. The scale he claimed is 32.5 million hits a day on Instagram, 88.8 million on X, 185 million on Facebook. That is not a campaign.

[00:43:13] That's a flood. And it was aimed at your gas tank and your vote. Tell me this isn't voter fraud. It wasn't some random group. The network's own partner list includes the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, MoveOn, the AFL-CIO, and the SEIU. The whole Democratic machine working on one set of messaging to trick the American public.

[00:43:41] And then gas prices dropped, George, for absolutely no fucking reason at all. Well, around election day, the price of regular by me was like 401. Yesterday, now it's down to 389. But, I mean, nothing's changed in straight-up moves. All the same stuff. Yeah, they're fake negotiating and getting nowhere with it. But nothing's changed. Same routes are closed. The same escorts need to be done. Yada, yada, yada. It's the same. And as a matter of fact, you want to know something crazy?

[00:44:11] The mayor, I mean, the governor of New Jersey, Mickey Sherrill, instructed all ports that if they take any Russian diesel, that they'll get prosecuted because it's against federal law or some shit. But, meanwhile, Trump, President of the United States, made a deal. Made a deal with Russia. Made a deal. Lowering diesel prices. Yeah, and I mean, think about that. Going against the president. So here, you know, so they didn't win on policy, guys. There was no policy decision here that helped you guys. They won on volume. They manufactured a crisis.

[00:44:41] They pointed it at your gas tank and flooded every feed in America until it worked. And they and he and Jones went on to say that this network is not going away. Now, if there's anything the administration should be investigating and going after, it's a manipulation of the media to manipulate the public at a scale that I would call racketeering and RICO. Let's play the clip, George. Now it can be told.

[00:45:10] How did we win the narrative on affordability? Were they just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to know the Republicans never figured out what we were doing? There's something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online. 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day.

[00:45:38] 88.8 million hit on Twitter every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day. And they never figured it out. The Republicans could not understand. It wasn't bots. It was actual human beings. The most effective online organizing campaign called the American Accountability Network flew under the radar screen. Never been told. And they were talking about the issue of saying you need to elect Democrats to deal with this.

[00:46:06] Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. And what that meant was everywhere you go, people were talking about affordability and they were talking about kitchen table issues. They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that. So it's not just all the door knocking that was done, which is amazing. It's not just our amazing candidate quality.

[00:46:35] We had something called the American Accountability Network. Don't get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this. They never figured it out. And that network is going to continue to push for kitchen table issues and hold our Democratic lawmakers accountable. That's fascinating. Yeah. I mean, what did you say about it? That it's, I mean, they're paying people to post and stuff.

[00:47:03] They're, you know, building a network, trying to, you know, drill a message. You're saying that's illegal? I'm saying that when you manipulate the narrative at that scale, when does it become a racketeering or RICO situation? When you start manipulating the message based on fraudulent posting, these are paid operatives being paid online to post about specific topics that are organized in a plan. Well, the only problem, my point would be.

[00:47:30] The problem is they're not, they're not saying that they're, that this is a paid post. That's, that's where I have. It's a violation of FCC law to not say you're not being paid to post. I mean, we go through this all the time. Why doesn't the, again, my point would be, let's say that they're saying we're not going to go after them. Why didn't the Republicans do it? This show and no other show I know has ever been approached by Republicans to post on their accounts, to run ads or anything else. Now, we would tell you it was a sponsored post.

[00:47:59] We would say it's a paid post because George and I like to follow the law. But why is it that the Democrats aren't held to the same standard? And why is it with all the money that Donald Trump raised and the administration raised and all the money that Susie Wiles said it was so important, she had to go to the biggest, you know, people that were donating the largest amounts and that's where her loyalty stood. Where did that money go? Because I didn't see any of it funneled into social media. I didn't see them contacting us or any other show that I know.

[00:48:28] It doesn't matter the size of the show to run commercials when their voter base is right here. We're all online. How many influencers do we know? None of them were approached by the Republicans. But yet the Democrats had this massive push. Well, hold on. They were paid to post. And that law is very clear. If you get paid to post in any specific manner, the FCC says you have to notify the public that you are a sponsored post or paid post.

[00:48:57] And they didn't do it at all. So is the Department of Justice, is Todd Blanche going to go after these people? I mean, we've seen the turmoil about Laura Loomer being paid to post. Is that going on? It absolutely is. And I know there's other people that have paid for posts. The point of the matter is how come those people aren't following the law and making people aware that they were paid for that specific post, George? There's other. There's GOP influencers being paid to post.

[00:49:27] There's just a certain handful. I didn't say they weren't. I'm saying that we weren't paid to post. The problem with the Republicans is they don't know how to do their social media game, where the Democrats do. I mean. Well, you've got another thing here, right? They could just hold on. But they could easily up their game and get so many millions of impressions if they did it right. They won't. And here's like so-called influencers. This is their talking points now. All the same shit.

[00:49:56] They can go kiss my ass with them talking points. Are these Democrat or Republican influencers, George? There's a Republican, bro. Okay. I'm just asking. I didn't know. But they all come up the same. How convenient is it all coming up the same thing? Ban sanctuary cities. Ban rank choice voting. Ban ballot harvesting. Require citizenship to vote. Require photo ID to vote. Ban the national popular vote interstate compact. Ban foreign entities from buying property. Suspend any gas taxes. Institute school choice.

[00:50:27] Abolish property taxes. Open non-jura records to public inspection. Mandate secretaries of the state to share complete voter registration rolls with DOJ. Mandate voter roll list maintenance. Offer rewards for convictions involving fraudulent use of Medicare. Snap. Yada yada. Here's the problem. We all want that regardless as conservatives. You need to come up with talking points to pull Democrats or liberals over to our side.

[00:50:58] That's the problem. This is where their messaging is wrong. This is all stuff we've been wanting. It's not new. You're going to hammer away at this now? No. You have to figure out how to get the independents and the young kids and Democrats, young Democrats to start voting the switch. That's what they need to work on. This is just a crock of shit. It just irks me, man. Because everybody has these different messaging things they know best.

[00:51:28] You know, it's funny, but a lot of people are starting to hammer at these so-called influencers. As we've seen with Bongino and another gentleman and other people. Mark Levin. Mark Levin's an idiot. I can't even stand listening to him. People are still watching their shows, though. They're still getting views, which I'm shocked. All right. Let's talk about Russell Brand. Look, Russell Brand is famous. He's charming. He's funny.

[00:51:57] There is no doubt he was using a lot of drugs and alcohol. I'm not giving him any excuses, but George made a very valid point. How do you allow people from, you know, this length of time to all of a sudden come up and say, oh, my God, Russell Brand did this and Russell Brand did that. It's exactly what they did to Donald Trump when they changed the statute of limitations on that woman. You know, a crazy woman, in my opinion. I mean, she called her cat vagina. That's the actual name of her cat.

[00:52:25] So Russell Brand just got sentenced to 10 years and six months. We did a little research. It sounds like he's going to have to serve two-thirds of that sentence because it's sexual assault. But it's interesting. They don't go after the rape gangs in the U.K., but they go after Russell Brand. And I'm not saying that Russell Brand isn't guilty. I'm assuming. And I watched him at Mar-a-Lago and I watched the crowds around him. And I have to say the two-thirds of the crowd hanging around Russell Brand that wanted to meet him, wanted to get a picture, were what I would consider very attractive women.

[00:52:54] Does that happen a lot in Hollywood? Of course it does. But the fact that 20 years ago he's being, you know, called out to face consequences with no other witnesses than the victims themselves, I don't know. Was he a sexual predator? Who knows? At the end of the day, I think a lot of attractive women have fallen for celebrities and thrown themselves at celebrities for decades, probably since the very beginning of Hollywood. But here we are. This guy took a nasty sentence.

[00:53:23] And based on the laws, unless he wins on appeal and any kind of a reduction, he's going to do two-thirds of this sentence. So Russell Brand's career for now is over. Let's play the clip, George. Yep. Or Russell Brand. The sentence I pass on count six, rape, is nine years imprisonment. So the total sentence is one of ten years, six months. The few days you have already served will count.

[00:53:50] You will serve two-thirds of that sentence, then be released on licence, and will be liable to be recalled into custody if you breach its terms. On your release, you will also be indefinitely subject to the notification requirements under the Sexual Offenses Act 2003. Would you go with the officers, please? Wow.

[00:54:18] No bad for him, but I guess it is what it is. If he is guilty, you know, he's facing consequences. But I don't know. So many of these stories, George, I just don't know. It's so difficult when you hear somebody coming up that never went to the police, never reported it, and now all of a sudden they're like, oh. No, George assaulted me. You know what, Lance? There's a reason why people didn't go, especially if someone has a lot of influence and power. Yeah. You know, people are embarrassed or ashamed. I mean, I'm a person, I know this because it happened to me in high school.

[00:54:47] I'll say it now because my case is over. I'm not going to talk in detail. I didn't open my mouth until two years ago. Yeah. No, I didn't, George. I understand. You know, I don't like when people fabricate stuff because it makes the people that are going through it look bad and the snaps. I mean, I don't know what evidence or what they have. But, you know, I mean, you have to look. I don't know the whole case. I didn't see all the details. Yeah, either did I. And I'm not defending Russell Brand in any way.

[00:55:17] I mean, it's likely that it happened. But again, you just never know people's real true motivations. I hope that these were real victims and I hope the stories were real. The court says it was. So for right now, we'll just have to go with that. I mean, he did face a court of law. It wasn't like it just came independently. So, you know, whatever. We'll see. I guess we'll see what happens on the appeal because we know he's going to appeal. So. All right. Well, listen, we love you guys. We appreciate you tuning in today.

I'd recommend you take some of those clips and use them yourself and take advantage of that opportunity.

[00:56:13] If you want to grow your accounts on Instagram and Facebook. I know there's a lot of suppression issues on X. Many people complaining about it. But do what you can do. Get over there. Grow yourself. Enjoy yourself. We appreciate you. And we've got some great interviews will be coming up. Go to the Big Me community on X. Join it. I'll be posting up about those later today. So God, Country, Family. What's today? George's last words. Today is Tuesday, George. Oh, yeah. Somebody put a chat. Yeah. Like E. Jean Carroll.

[00:56:41] People like that make the real victims look bad. No doubt. I agree with that. E. Jean Carroll, you see, is just a corrupt digital system that's favored liberals and it's just corrupt in that way. Well, they extended the statute of limitations so that they could actually get access to her. They changed the statute of limitations. They voted that right before the E. Jean Carroll case. Like in the state of New Jersey, they lifted a temporary statute of limitations bans on sexual assaults and stuff, too. So, yeah.

[00:57:11] The problem is with that is none of her evidence coincided with what she said and was rebuked and it was proven. She was also on a... The judge wouldn't allow certain things into the court to be heard. Did you know that she had a talk show? Were you aware of that? Yeah, I know. On her talk show, she said that rape was sexy. I know. She had a lot of soundbites. She's also the same woman that named her cat Vagina. Yeah. Which I think is extremely odd. I think she's insane, but that's my own opinion. All right, y'all.

[00:57:41] We'll see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day. Love you guys. Thanks for supporting us. Peace. Peace.
