Hey everybody, welcome to events on a Thursday. So good to have you with us. We're just under 24 hours now away from launching the 250th year of our great country's history. Isn't that great? Isn't that wonderful? The 250th year is going to begin tomorrow, July 4th, Independence Day. I hope you have great Independence Day plans to celebrate the country. And I'm going to get into how the president might spend it, which is to sign into law a big, beautiful bill. As we speak this morning on the live show, rumble.com slash Vince. Yeah, we are moments away, perhaps, from getting an actual piece of legislation across the finish line and onto the president's desk. We are going to keep an eye on across the finish line and onto the president's desk. We are going to keep an eye on all of this.

Right now, as we are launching the show today, Hakeem Jeffries is still wasting everyone's time. Look at it. Look at this guy. Holy cow. He's still yammering on and on and on, just not shutting up, just going forever. Standing up on behalf of the American people, it should be a hell no vote. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. But Mr. Speaker, these are the words. Of a slow speaking human being. Those are the words of a very slow speaking human being.

He's awful. Anyway, we'll keep an eye on that. Hakeem Jeffries still yammering, and all he's doing is adding votes to the big beautiful bill which is wonderful. We've got a big show ahead for you today. Before we get to all of that, I have to thank ExpressVPN for sponsoring the program. You know what you do online?

That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com slash Vince. He's still going. He's just he's just yammering it away. How did Hakeem Jeffries become a leader? How? How did that happen? This guy is like a make a wish recipient who ended up as leader of the house for the Democrats and they never took it away from him.

They never told him it was only supposed to be for a day. Here he is. He's still going and going. This bill needs more work across chambers. What a goofball. And they replaced him. It's not ready. Sorry, they've been replacing the people behind him

because they keep falling asleep during this stupid thing that they're calling a speech. That's the magic minute. He's been going for hours trying to delay the big, beautiful bill. And the end result to all of this is he's only accruing more support to the big, beautiful bill. That's the actual impact here,

which has been really funny because JD Vance said this morning that he got a text message from a Republican congressman. This was just about an hour ago. And he said, I was undecided. The congressman said, I was undecided on the bill, but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance, and now I'm a firm yes. Isn't that fun? So Hakeem should just keep going, because all he's doing is creating yes votes for the big beautiful bill. Thank you to Hakeem. There he is. Let me tell you what happened overnight last night because obviously as we start this morning the big beautiful bill still

getting debate not yet passed and that's because there was a lot of arm twisting going on all night long with Republicans to get them all fully on board. And here's the good news. There was a test vote on all of this last night to advance the bill. And all of the Republicans, all of them, to include Thomas Massey, voted in the end, yes, on this thing. So that's great news. In Massey's case, there was definitely some arm twisting going on to get him there. He changed his vote a couple of times,

but in the end he was a yes to advance the bill overnight. The only person though, the only person to vote against this thing was a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, Brian Fitzpatrick, voted against it last night. And I don't know, if I'm Brian Fitzpatrick, that is not the place you wanna be. You really wanna be the one Republican

to vote against the big, beautiful bill right now? And what's interesting is Brian Fitzpatrick yesterday was complaining, he was bitching over the fact that the Trump administration's decided to protect US weapons stockpiles instead of emptying them out for Ukraine. That's the big news this week. The media is really bothered by this.

They hate that we're slowing down weapons shipments to Ukraine. But the Trump administration said, guys, our stockpiles are running out. We need these weapons for our own defense. It is insanity to continue to dump out our entire supply into Ukraine. We're not doing that.

We're gonna slow down the distribution of these weapons. And so Brian Fitzpatrick yesterday started freaking out about this. He thinks this is an awful thing. So he sent a letter to the president of the United States. And he said that he called on the president to address his quote, serious concern regarding the US withholding critical defense material pledged to Ukraine. This comes as Russia launches the largest aerial assault since the war began, yada, yada, yada. He's formally requesting an emergency briefing from the White House. So Brian Fitzpatrick, this is the congressman from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is bitching about the fact that we're looking after our own national security here.

He becomes the only no vote among Republicans overnight against the agenda that you definitely voted for. And what does he think is gonna happen next? Well, I've got bad news for him. Consequences seem to already be on the way. This is what I love about conservatives these days. Everybody's just ready to fight right away when necessary. Here you have Scott Pressler saying

in the early hours this morning, yes, I'm aware that the Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick just voted no on the big, beautiful bill. Message received, CC, Bucks County, Scott Pressler, of course, in Pennsylvania. And he did a lot to add, alongside a lot of other great conservatives, a lot of great Republicans,

did a lot to help President Trump win Bucks County, to increase voter registration there. So Brian Fitzpatrick's gonna have a real problem on his hands if he ends up being a no vote on final passage today for the big, beautiful bill. Is Hakeem Jeffries still speaking right now? Is he still going at this? He's not shutting up, he's still going.

He's unreal. By Donald Trump's one big, ugly bill. Oh my gosh, and he speaks slowly because he thinks slowly. That's the issue there with, I call him the dial-up Democrat. His brain operates on a 28K modem. Things move very, very slowly for hockey and Jeffries. Okay, so you get this guy, Fitzpatrick, voting against the bill last night and so now consequences are on the way. But even prior to that big, beautiful vote that

took place last night, the president of the United States was applying all sorts of pressure on these guys to get them across the finish line. Take a look here is the president of the United States was applying all sorts of pressure on these guys to get them across the finish line Take a look here is the president of the United States Last night on truth social saying guys. These are the largest tax cuts in history and a booming economy Versus the biggest tax increase in history. That's what Hakeem Jeffries is standing up for and a failed economy So what are the Republicans waiting for? What are you trying to prove? MAGA is not happy, it's gonna cost you votes.

That's right, Brian Fitzpatrick, pay attention to this. The president pushing really hard here. The president also adding, for Republicans, this should be an easy yes vote, ridiculous. Stephen Miller, who's brilliant, he's at the White House, he posted overnight that here we are 10 years after that trip down the Golden Escalator, we've got members who are actually thinking about voting against this bill.

It's going to build the entire border wall. It's going to fund mass deportations. It's going to triple the size of ICE. Oh, and it includes massive tax cuts and welfare reform. This, this, Stephen Miller says, this is the kind of opportunity once lost where people look back centuries later and ask how the moment to save civilization was allowed to pass by.

Miller right about this. This is such an unusual moment. This is a generational opportunity to get something really good done for the American people without Democrats, like the dial-up Democrat Hakeem Jeffries even being involved, you know, who again, all he's doing is running his suck as we speak. There he is. Yeah. Okay. So that's the pressure that the White House placed on Republicans last night, it paid off. It paid off. These Republicans advancing the big, beautiful bill.

And, you know, these Democrats, what I'm showing you, Hakeem Jeffries, it's just absurd how they're trying to cook up any sort of opposition to this whatsoever. And I think it's time for a fun little game. Are you ready to play this chat? Let's play a game here. It's time for America's Cringiest Democrats. Let's do it. That's right.

And let's meet our contestants. Of course, we do have the slow talking Hakeem Jeffries, who as we speak is doing his ridiculous magic minute. But yesterday he was insisting that everyone is going to die. everyone is going to die. People are going to die. Take a look. Cup one. Here's ridiculous Hakeem Jeffries. And as a result, people are going to die. Connected to this one big ugly bill. Tens of thousands of unnecessary American deaths per year.

Shame on Republicans for even bringing this bill to the House floor. It's ridiculous. The party of death wants you to know that Donald Trump is going to kill everybody. That's Hakeem Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries, whose party kills a million babies every single year and they just do that for sport That's not even there's no real purpose to that That's just sport a million babies every single year the party of never-ending wars The party of complete chaos the party of standing up for murderers the party of standing up for illegal alien gangsters

Who rape and kill American citizens? That's right. Hakeem Jeffries wants you to know he's very serious about all of this, that if this big, beautiful bill gets passed, everyone, and I mean everyone, is going to die. We're all going to die. That's what Hakeem Jeffries wants you to know, because obviously that's serious political debate. That's a legitimate policy dispute. That's a sign of when you're winning.

When you say that the other side is gonna kill everyone. Everyone is going to die, says Hakeem Jeffries. So that's hilarious. Also, there was this moment yesterday on Hakeem Jeffries' social media. They shared an image of him looking like a microwaved Derek Jeter. Have you seen this?

Take a look. Here he is holding a baseball bat. Holding a baseball bat. And the message that he posted to Instagram is House Democrats will keep the pressure on Trump's one big ugly bill. Look at speaking of big and ugly, holy cow, what is this supposed to be? Is that a threat, ladies and gentlemen?

Hey Chad, is that a threat? The guy's holding a baseball bat. Like he's got, what do you got? No other options here? How about just present a better vision for the country? How about tell us how Democrats could actually do something for the rest of us. Instead holding a baseball bat, taking a picture

and posting it to social media. There he is, microwaved Derek Jeter, just covering himself in glory. So Hakeem Jeffries with an early front runner for America's cringiest Democrat. Also, we've got a guy in Congress, a Democrat by the name of Tim McBride. He pretends to be a woman from Delaware. He's the congressman from Delaware. He pretends his name is Sarah. And then he insists that everyone call him Sarah McBride. And he gave a big speech yesterday about the big beautiful bill. And again, just to really reemphasize something here, this is a man pretending to be a woman. And he swears, he swears he's tellingize something here. This is a man pretending to be a woman and he swears,

he swears he's telling you the truth this time. Take a look. Here's Tim McBride, cut to. Do they even care? Every yes vote shows very clearly that they don't. This bill is trickle down cruelty and people will die because of it. Thank you. People will die. Thank you. Thank you.

And I'm definitely telling you the truth this time, says a man whose entire personality is a lie. It's amazing. It's truly amazing. So Tim McBride, that's his contribution. He was hoping to be considered America's cringiest Democrat. And Chad, you know, keep track of this. I want you to tell me who you think the cringiest possible Democrat is here. At the end, I'll crown a victor based on audience response. Let's see, Nancy Pelosi would also like to remind

you that she's still alive. She was spitting over her dentures yesterday that fighting back against the big beautiful bill is equivalent to throwing a punch for the children. In fact, I think she meant to say she was throwing back a punch for the children. Here's Nancy Pelosi, cut three. Dr. King nearly 60 years ago said, of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death. We come to this floor with a moral force of Dr. King's words in our heart. Let us not with this bill turn the American dream he talked about in

a nightmare for America's seniors, the disabled, our children, our children, our children. Let us vote no on the shameful bill and throw a punch for the children. I think she threw back a punch, a spiked punch for the children, you know. And she got up there and she just rambled. Because that's what all the Democrats have been able to do is ramble. They've got nothing. They're totally feckless and limp-wristed in this fight. There's no way to stop it.

So they say things like, everyone's going to die. Let's throw a punch for the children. And the rest of us say, you guys are ridiculous. And thank God you're not in power right now. That's a really good thing. So there's Nancy Pelosi, who was inebriated on the House floor yesterday. Of course, no good cringy Democrat competition would exclude this congressman from Maryland, Jamie Raskin.

Jamie Raskin, chat, you're tracking this, right? The cringiest Democrats, whoever it is that you'd like in your mind right now. Jamie Raskin made up, they don't read the actual constitution, but Jamie Raskin made up a fake corny preamble to the big beautiful bill yesterday. Here he is cut for Jamie Raskin pretending like this is a part of the bill and he wants you to take him super seriously. Gentlemen, Mr. Speaker, I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general

welfare and reserve to ourselves in our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their health care increase co-pays deductibles and premiums for everyone else cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance increase the national debt by four trillion dollars trash renewable energy systems trillion dollars trash renewable energy systems in our electric bills for the carbon king he's going for a chat and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America he's going for it by the way Jamie Raskin there is no way that he'd ever be able to cite the actual preamble to the Constitution not a chance not a chance if I stopped him in the hallway what's the preamble he would have no idea he wouldn't be able to so the actual preamble to the Constitution. Not a chance, not a chance.

If I stopped him in the hallway, what's the preamble? He would have no idea, he wouldn't be able to. So he gives you some chat GPT written cringy chat GPT. Help me attack Republicans by rewriting the preamble to the Constitution as demented preamble to the big beautiful bill. That's what it pops out. And that's what Jamie Raskin is reading.

The only thing I'll say for him is I think that immediately puts him near the front runners for the cringiest possible Democrats here trying to fight back against this bill. Just ridiculous. Jamie Raskin, a clown, always a clown. He should have wore the durag. You ever seen Jamie Raskin in the durag? He should have wore the durag for that presentation. He looks like, you know, prison Mike. Remember prison Mike from The Office? Yeah, that's what Jamie Raskin looks like in a do-rag. Like a silly man. Like a very, very silly man. Speaking of silly men, Eric Swalwell has released a series of social media videos in the last 24 hours where he sounds like he's practicing swearing for the first time in his life. Like he's never said a curse word ever

and he's summoning the courage to do it. Let's go through some of these ridiculous social media videos. Here's Eric Swalwell cut five, again, practicing some cursing. Hey, Congressman. What's going on? What the fuck is up with JD Vance saying

losing healthcare is immaterial? Immaterial to who? You know, the biggest question is who would vote for this bill and why? That's uh, by the way that was take 13. He had to keep walking past that camera. Hey Congressman, why the fuck is blah blah blah? Okay, okay, so they put cursing in the video. And then in some of these other videos, Swalwell himself finally starts cursing. This is big. Here he is, cut six.

Why would anyone vote for this big bullshit bill? I just got back to DC. The Senate passed it. It actually took JD Vance to pass it. Who said, by the way, that the cuts are immaterial? Well, we're going to talk about that in a second. So why the hell did this thing pass? Who wants it? Why in the world did you pass it? Yeah, all right, so Swalwell, there he is. I don't know, crazy idea. Vote, no. Wearing his silly pink and blue hat.

Help. Practicing cursing. That's our job. And I've got one more for you. Vote no. Here's Swalwell, once again, in the last 24 hours, cut seven, attempting to curse on camera. Take a look.

Send your vote right now on big bullshit Bill. Such a tool, this guy. But he's a tool. He's a total tool. All right, so that's Eric Swalwell's contribution. Guys, I'm telling you, do we not have the craziest competition going ever right now?

Let's try this one. Pramila Jayapal, she's a ridiculous human being. She claims that random airport strangers have been walking up to her, just walking up to her in the airport. They just walk right up to her and they embrace her as if she would allow a random person to touch her. There's no way.

And they've been crying on her shoulder. They've been embracing it. They've just been crying over the big, beautiful bill. Here's cut eight per millijayapal. I just can't emphasize how, I mean, I'm getting calls and in the airports people come up to me when they recognize me and they're sobbing on my shoulder because they know that so many people, whether it's people who are delivering babies, 60% of births in Mike Johnson's home state of Louisiana, paid for by Medicaid, or whether it's, you know, seniors in nursing homes, or whether it's folks with disabilities, those are the people that are going to be so incredibly hurt by this cruel betrayal of a bill. Yeah, she's a scumbag like the rest of them. Oh yeah, no, I totally believe you.

Yes, that's happening all the time. People are coming up to you and then asking you to bless them. You know, and it's so patently absurd. Nobody's crying on her shoulder in an airport. Nobody's crying. I think very few people would even recognize her, honestly. I mean, even for those of us who are pretty politically locked in and we see her in all sorts of video clips, I've seen her a million times. If I walked past her in an airport, I wouldn't even realize it. There's no way, unless there

were people all over her hugging and crying. Who's that in the middle? Oh, that's Pramila Jayapal. Oh, she was telling the truth. She wasn't. She wasn't telling the truth. Nobody's crying on her shoulder, nobody. Okay, and then finally, the final contribution here to this big, beautiful contest for the cringiest possible Democrat. There was a group of Democrat doctors yesterday. These are elected officials, these are all congressmen who are allegedly also medical doctors.

Republicans have a bunch of those too in the house. And these Democrats decided to hold a hilariously incomprehensible press conference among throngs of disinterested tourists yesterday. Take a look at their decision to hold an idiotic press conference in the middle of a busy hallway where no one can understand a word that they're saying and no one really gives a shit.

Here they are, yesterday, the Democrat doctors. Cut nine. We are the doctors' comments. Democrat doctors' comments. We have cared for the sickest patients in our studios. As politicians, we shouldn't care if someone was a Democrat or a Republican. In fact, there are several issues that you can address. We just... gaggle of press around them, probably a Republican because they're the only ones who have any influence in this conversation whatsoever. And the Democrats have to stop talking because there's just no way that they can even see the people across from them. What a stupid event. Who was planning this? Is there anybody who even does the planning for these press conferences? Anybody who sits back and is like, hey, that would be a bad idea. Maybe we shouldn't hold a

press conference in a busy hallway with a bunch of tourists where nobody cares whatsoever about what we say. And the cameras aren't even going to be able to see us. So there we go. Those are the the contributions. Of the the idiotic Democrats. How do we feel, guys? Who wins the cringiest Democrat out of all of those chat? As we await the chat here, I just have

to once again thank the Democrats for helping drive more votes for the big, beautiful bill. Because if you're looking to, you know, who's going to stop this thing, you would think it'd be the loyal opposition is going to offer a good argument here. They have no good arguments. Everyone is going to die and we don't know how to plan a press conference. We are learning to curse for the first time. We wield baseball bats and we make up stories about people crying on our shoulder. Jamie Raskin is getting a lot of action in the chat right now for his fake preamble to this thing. Fang Fang's name appeared in the chat, although Fang Fang was not among the cringiest

Democrats. Fang Fang did sleep with Eric Swalwell as a sacrifice on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. I don't know how Fang Fang drew the short straw there. The doctors getting, that's a tie, he's living in America. They're all cringe. No, they are all cringe, but I really wanna pick somebody here. Jamie Raskin, Raskin, Swalwell, lots of nicknames for Swalwell, everyone's got that. Ratskin, where it says Rob McGroin, which I believe is Raskin we're talking about. All right, that's it. I think it's official.

Honestly, based on this, Jamie Raskin is gonna have to be the winner today of the cringiest Possible Democrat to go after the big beautiful bill guys one more time. Just so we get a reminder here Here's cut for Jamie Raskin With his stupid fake preamble to the big beautiful bill as written by Chad speaker I found the preamble to this big ugly bill bill. Here it is. As written by Chad GPK. Mr. Speaker, I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union,

establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general welfare and reserve to ourselves and our posterity, staggering debt servitude for eternity, do hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase cocaine deductibles, and premiums for everyone else. All right, that's enough, I don't need it anymore. Thank you, there's Jamie Raskin, ladies and gentlemen, America's cringiest Democrat.

Wonderful work, Jamie. You did it, sir, you did it. You finally achieved something in your life. So there's Jamie Raskin. Hey, chat, somebody let him know that he's America's cringiest Democrat as popularly elected by the best damn audience in media. Thank you for that.

Congratulations to Jamie Raskin for achieving something at all, literally anything. You did it, buddy. You did it. All right, coming up, we keep our eyes on what the hell's going on. Also, is Hakeem Jeffries still speaking? Is he still going right now?

I think, honestly, I think he is. Here he is. Small business, entrepreneur. He's still running his suck. Here in the United States of America. He's still doing it. Did they replace someone else behind him? Mercedes. He's still doing it. Did they replace someone else behind him? Mercedes lives in a great state of Colorado.

Oh my gosh. He speaks slow because he thinks slow. Say again, Justin. The guy in the black jacket, so right behind Hakeem Jeffries, the guy just behind him was a woman as of recently. In fact, you know, did you see that everyone was falling asleep behind him? It was a great, this is hilarious. There was a, it was Marcy Capter who was caught on camera falling asleep behind Hakeem Jeffries. Let me see if I can show this to you. Here it is.

Yeah, here's Mercy Kaftor. Look at her. She's zonking out. They had to, they practically had to drag her out of there. They had to pick her up, bring her out and replace her because these Democrats keep falling asleep. So that's really funny stuff. So there they are.

Hey, we got to thank the sponsors that keep this program going, including providing all of the prizes for America's cringiest Democrats. If there's something all of us can believe in, it's hard work and self-reliance and showing up for the people who actually count on us. But a while back, I hit a wall. I was like Marcy Capter. I wasn't able to move on. I was falling asleep. I was getting terrible sleep. And then I'd have to drag myself through the next day on fumes. I knew I had to find something to break me out of that cycle. That's when I found Beam's Dream Powder. Beam is proudly founded in America and run by people who share our values, hard work,

integrity, and delivering results. 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. Dream is made up of a powerful blend of all natural ingredients, reishi, magnesium, altheanine, apigenin, and melatonin. And here's the deal. Beam is giving my listeners the ultimate Patriot discount of up to 40% off. You can do it. Try their best selling dream powder and get up to 40% off for a limited time.

Go to shopbeam.com slash Vince show. Use the code Vince show at checkout. That's shopbeam.com slash Vince show. Use that code Vince show and you'll get up to 40% off. Our thanks once again to Beam for being a great sponsor of the program. Yeah, these guys, these guys. Really, really funny. And it is crazy that Hakeem Jeffries is still somehow the leader of the Democrats. For what reason? You know the reason. You know the reason.

Because he's a puppet of Nancy Pelosi. He's an easily controlled puppet of Nancy Pelosi. He's an easily controlled puppet of Nancy Pelosi. And so, so he takes the job and Pelosi keeps, you know, spitting out orders, drenching you with her spit as she tells you what she wants you to do. That's, that's the life that Hakeem Jeffries has to leave now, leave now. Say that Justin. You have a fact check? What does that mean? It was a woman behind him at one point, behind a Hockey Jefferies.

Yeah. Yeah, they're using seat fillers. You know, this is like, you know at the Oscars when the celebrities have to use the bathroom, they have, they bring in seat fillers. They bring randos in because the actual people can't do it. They can't be there. So the Democrats here, they keep

falling out, falling out. Anyway, that's what's happening. Hey, we've got some other good news this morning that I need to get to as well as we keep an eye on the big, beautiful bill and whether or not this thing is going to pass just yet. We got economic data this morning that the economy is gangbusters right now. The June jobs report is absolutely phenomenal. Take a listen to CNN's interpretation of events this morning. Here we go. Watch this. You expected some of this, but this is better than expected. Yeah, Sarah, it is. Look, this jobs market is like the Energizer bunny.

Every single time we expect it to run out of steam, it just keeps going and going. So these new numbers show that the US economy added 147,000 jobs in June. That was well ahead of the expectation of about 118,000. Well ahead of some whispers that we heard on Wall Street of a sub 100,000 number. So this is indeed beating expectations. We were also expecting a slowdown. We did not get that.

This is basically in line with May, which was revised higher. It's also good news. The unemployment rate was expected to go up. It didn't. It went down to 4.1%. That is a very healthy number. This is still relatively historically low. And again, it's below the 4.3% that we had expected.

Yeah. So the number is phenomenal. The United States economy adding 147,000 jobs just in the month of June. And the expectations were that unemployment would go up and once again, actually goes down. So that's phenomenal. We're adding jobs, unemployment is going down at the same time. The Trump economy is humming along, baby. This is great news. Just imagine what it's gonna look like

with the big, beautiful bill finally achieving its big, beautiful passage. That's gonna be a massive, massive thing. Also, here's something really fun. In this jobs report, we actually got some excellent news in that the United States had native born workers gain all of the jobs. 830,000 jobs were gained by native born workers.

Foreign born lost 348,000 jobs. Now, I should remind you, there's a lot of people who are either being deported right now or who are self deporting. Some estimates are in the vicinity of about a million people have already self deported out of the United States while President Trump

has been in office. So this could be, it certainly does play a role in this phenomenon. And then there's this aspect that comes to us from our in-house economist, E.J. Antony, this morning. He says, what a difference a president makes. Last November, the 12 month change in jobs among native born Americans was negative 1.1 million. In other words, as of last November, the prior 12 months, over a million native born Americans had lost their job in the United States of America. That was the Biden economy. But for June, right now, just going back 12 months, we have added over 1.7 million jobs to the American economy

for native born Americans. Economists would do well to be like E.J. Antony, the rest of them, and focus on native born versus foreign born, native born versus foreign born, native born versus foreign born. Native born jobs, dramatically added, dramatically added here. So this is very, very good news this morning that the Trump administration can be very, very proud of.

And I'm super excited to bring that to you. Again, we await the House vote on the big beautiful bill is Hakeem Jeffries still running his suck Yes, he is he's He's still going He's still going you know he speaks so slowly that if you were to take a transcript of his every utterance Which some unfortunate soul does have to do in the house., they have to write down every word he's saying. I think it would probably be maybe five minutes of total text.

That's how slowly this guy speaks. He's very, he's very, very slow. Democratic leader, that house dot gov backslash. Share your story. He's given hyperlinks now. I hear from the American people.

You know, the key is, are we actually getting the big, beautiful bill passed? That's the key. All right, in a moment, I've got a great interview for you that I want to share. We're going to talk to Paula Scanlon, a wonderful person. She was a swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania. And this week, of course, you know the news that the Trump administration is defending women from having their sports destroyed by men and soulless universities who are not looking out

for the interests of women, but instead are advancing causes to hurt them. Big victory this week, big, big victory this week. Paula Scanlon reacts to all of this. She had to swim with that dude, William Thomas, who goes by Leah and dresses up in women's swimsuits. She'll tell us all about her reaction to the big news this week.

All right, joining me right now is an amazing person, a woman who has just been in the fight for so long on behalf of women, Paula Scanlon, who at one time was swimming against on the same team, William Thomas, the guy who called himself Leah Thomas, dressed in a women's swimsuit.

Now she's with the American Principles Project. Paula Scanlon joins us now. Paula, thank you so much for doing this. Yeah, of course. Really appreciate having you here. Okay, so take us back in time just to give people the. Yeah, of course. Really appreciate having you here. Okay, so take us back in time just to give people the Cliff Notes versions of events. This is the 2021-2022 season.

You're on the University of Pennsylvania swim team at the same time as a guy called William Thomas who is posing as Leah Thomas and wearing a women's swimsuit. What happened? What was it even like when you found out that he would be a part of the swim team? Well, actually, we found out back in 2019. So my freshman year of college, I was swimming and there was a member of the men's team by the name of William Thomas that was a man competing on the men's team wearing a men's swimsuit and in the men's locker room. And then

at the beginning of the 2019 season, which was my sophomore year, he announced to the entire team that he now identified as a woman and would be joining our team the following season. He wanted to now be referred to with she, her pronouns. And he told us he was going to announce a new name change very soon. That's how we were told this entire situation. And now flash forward to two years later,

we lost the season because of COVID. It is now the year of 2021. I'm now a senior and he is now competing on the women's team. He had changed his name to Leah and he was undressing in our locker room 18 times per week. And anytime someone would try to raise concerns about the situation, we were told by the administration

that we were bigoted and hateful. We were told that if we did not want to undress in a locker room with a fully grown man, that we were the problem and we should seek psychological services to fix ourselves. And then they gave us the number for an on-campus counselor. It's so crazy. I mean, and you told this story before. I'm so grateful that you're out there doing that. But just on that locker room issue, again, William Thomas had made no changes cosmetically to himself, right?

He was just a dude changing in the women's locker room? Exactly. Okay, crazy. So at the outset of that, when you find out that news, were any of the women on the team outraged about this? Did the word go around quickly? Were people like, this is crazy, this shouldn't happen? Or did people sort of cow to it right away?

So when you first announced, I first honestly thought it was a joke. I sat there and I was, am I supposed to laugh? Am I waiting for the candid cameras to come out and say pranked you? I mean, that's really how I felt. I turned around, I was sitting towards the front of the room. I turn around and I look to my teammates

and they're clapping, they're applauding, they're saying, we're so proud of you for being your authentic self. And I thought to myself, am I crazy? Am I the only one here that doesn't think that this is acceptable? And so after this happened, everyone just tried to pretend like they were so supportive.

And then you started having one-on-one conversations with people. And even the furthest left-leaning people that I knew on my team, they told me privately one-on-one at the time when it was first announced that they even were like this is insane, this is nonsense, like this is not matching biological reality, that was something actually one of my teammates who was very left-leaning had actually said to me

privately one-on-one. So it was really interesting because people would have their private opinions and then their group opinions and those were very different. Okay so all these many years later, the Trump administration has finally scored a victory over the University of Pennsylvania by getting them to agree to a number of really important things here. They're going to restore to all of the female athletes all of the individual titles, records, titles, everything that University of Pennsylvania swimmers have had in the past that were supplanted by a male swimming in the program. They're also supposed to issue a public statement to the university community saying that they will finally comply with Title IX, which is again explicitly designed to protect women.

And they're going to go with the biological definitions of male and female. They're gonna post a statement, basically a statement of shame to their own website declaring what they're doing here. And they're rescinding any guidance that violates Title IX. And then finally, and I know this is one

that you're fascinated by, the University of Pennsylvania is gonna send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer. Have you received your letter yet? I have not received my letter and I'm honestly wondering what it's going to say, what it will be. I mean, I could see them also.

I was just actually thinking about this this morning. I was just wondering if I'm even going to get one. Maybe they're only issuing them to the girls that lost records. Maybe they're only issuing it to a handful of swimmers. I mean, it's really unclear who they actually intend to apologize to here. I have seen this community letter that they sent out. I received an email from the athletic community. I think it was sent to all student athletes at the time. And then also a widespread sort of community note just saying, hey, wanted to update you guys on the situation. And it was, I mean, I've posted it online already at this point, and people did not

seem to be very happy with the way that they've approached it. But again, they just simply say we were following the rules then we're trying to follow the rules now. Don't be mad for us. And that's the message. Okay, is it true? I think I saw you post on social media that there were other female swimmers, actual female swimmers, who were attacking you for speaking the truth and for standing up for women. And I believe that you think you're on that you're the opinion that they too will receive letters of apology now, despite the fact that they were a part of the dogpile to attack you.

Exactly. That's that's what's so funny about it is that they're going to, right? We think they're issuing apologies to the impacted swimmers, right? I don't know how they're even going to gauge that. I hope it's the entire team. It should be the entire team, but that includes people who were very supportive of Thomas competing that cheered him on while they took their rightful spot on relays. Well, they took a while Thomas took away their opportunities to compete. I mean, there were women who actually cheered this on. And that's exactly why we're in this situation, because people that should have been speaking out against it were actually so supportive of it.

So I'm very curious to see their reaction. I mean, I'm sure I won't ever find out, but them receiving a letter of apology over something that they rallied behind and truly believed in, it's a little bit humorous to me How big of a deal do you think it is for the women who are having their records? Officially restored by the University of Pennsylvania now. I Think it's a it's a great thing and I had looked at it You know one of the girls who's gonna have a record is restored was competing at the same season as Thomas in the same events and so I imagine that she probably feels pretty vindicated and some records were

longer standing. So there's some people that I didn't even overlapped with. There's a few girls actually that were currently on the team, I think, that are now going to have a record on the board. So it's very interesting to watch that. But it is interesting to note that there is a relay that is staying on the record board. Thomas was part of the relay. note that there is a relay that is staying on the record board. Thomas was part of the relay. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around how to feel

about that. I mean it's really challenging to, I've swam many realies in my life, to feel like you have this relay record but a man was on it and he's staying there on the record board because they can't take it away from the other girls but also who's to say how fast they would have gone if he wasn't on that relay and it had been replaced with a different female summer. So the whole thing is sticky and challenging and it could have been avoided if he was just told no. And that awful thing, that awful asterisk

that will forever be affixed to that record, that was done because of the University of Pennsylvania's decisions. And so now the Trump administration has successfully intervened here by threatening access to $175 million in federal funding. So the University of Pennsylvania obviously surrendering

because it wants the money, but doesn't it strike you as kind of pathetic that the only way the University of Pennsylvania would come to its senses is because they're desperate for cash? I mean, sure, you can call it pathetic, but they allowed a man on a women's swim team. Are we really holding them to a high standard?

Are we really believing that they're this wonderful institution that's there to better the society and better student lives? I mean, look what they've already done. I mean, of course I share a sentiment there, but this is who they are. And I think if this is the way to get them to come to the negotiation table and say,

please, please, please, we're trying to follow the rules here, I'm grateful for the Trump administration for doing this. I'm grateful for the way that they've handled the situation by putting the pressure on them. So I mean, that's the way you look at it. And I think we're really starting to see the Ivy Leagues realize they're not the masters of the universe, that they do have rules that they need to follow. And this woke ideology that they've been pushing for so long has to go.

It's just a soulless decision-making process though. It's so sad. Do you think other universities are gonna get the message here and quickly start following suit? You know, I really hope so. We're seeing really the tale of two Ivy League schools here, right? We have Harvard that's pushed back against the Trump administration.

We have Penn that's just gone to the negotiation table. I mean, two different issues, but funny enough, Leah Thomas actually has three records at the Harvard pool. I would love to see Thomas taken off the record board there. And I would love to see Harvard come to the negotiation table and also issue an apology. You know, the girls at Harvard were actually sent a letter in writing saying that if they spoke out against Leah Thomas competing against them that they would contribute to someone committing suicide. I mean that is the blackmail that these students were put through

during the season. Harvard should also apologize to their student athletes for their actions in handling the Leah Thomas situation. Even if it wasn't their own teammate, they were still very responsive in supporting a man competing in women's sports. It is amazing. Okay, so, and as I mentioned, and as you know, the reason any of this could get done right now is obviously through the steady work of women like you, but thanks to having President Trump in place

to actually see this through, what do you think of President Trump's involvement in all of this, and how exceptional has that been? I mean, I'm getting exactly what I voted for, truly. I mean, he campaigned on this and it's one thing to campaign on this and get voters over and get people riled up on this issue, which absolutely that alone I'm so grateful for,

but they're delivering on their promises. I mean, I remember when Trump got into office, I said, okay, I imagine he's gonna sign some executive order about men and women's sports. He did in his first couple weeks in office. There's so many issues he had to come in and clean up after a Joe Biden presidency. And he took attention to do this.

I was so grateful to be invited to stand behind the president when he signed his executive order back in February. And now this, immediately starting to pull the federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania. He did that in March, only his second month in office. And again, now getting Penn to come to the negotiation table only six months into his administration. I mean, it just shows they don't just deliver on their promises, but they're also strong leaders and are able to just get things done, which is exactly why people should support

him as a president. He is a doer and he keeps his promises. But the way the media and the left describe him, he's a menace to women. He's a terrible person. He hates women. And in fact, it's the Democrat Party who stands up for women that they've been the ones who are always fighting for the rights of women. How do you square their presentation with reality? I mean, it's so funny how they've tried to perpetuate this lie for so many years. And I dare you guys to go look up, anyone who's objecting to us, dare you to go look up the photo of Trump signing the executive order.

I mean, there were young girls standing behind him and every single one of those girls understood the importance of why it was being signed. They weren't just there because their moms asked them to be there. They were there because they supported Trump being president. They supported his action in protecting women. And they were grateful that he was president and grateful to be there. And that's something I think the leftist media

is trying to ignore and can't really wrap their heads around. And I find it so funny, cause to me, this is the greatest women's rights movement that's happened in the last several decades, to be honest. Once they accomplished Title IX and got all these rights for women, there hasn't been much progress on the women's rights. And this is a huge win. And President Trump was the one to deliver. I would love to see the leftist media continue to try to spin this.

How have you seen the culture change since you've been engaged in this fight? Because it does seem like so many more people are willing to tell the truth. It's kind of an Emperor has no clothes story. People are finally admitting it. And even we see fights like JK Rowling, the Harry Potter lady, who's a lefty on I think everything. And on this issue, she's standing up for women and saying, no, men can't be women. That's insane. And she's taken a lot of arrows for that. You know, definitely. I think the one thing I've. And she's taken a lot of arrows for that. You know, definitely.

I think the one thing I've learned about this issue is actually how unifying it is. I mean, the University of Pennsylvania wanted us to believe that we were isolated and alone, and this issue was controversial. But in reality, all I've seen is how many different people have come together and supported this. I mean, we have people from the left side of the aisle.

We have people from the right side of the aisle. I mean, actually, just this week, I had a friend who is a self-identified Democrat confided in me that she voted for Kamala Harris, but she was an athlete. She texted me and said, hey, I wanted to congratulate you. And I wanted to also say that I 100%

support the Trump administration and their action against the University of Pennsylvania. I think really what that shows us about this issue is it's not left versus right. It's common left versus right. It's common sense versus crazy. And common sense is really one. And that's where we are right now.

And I think if the Democrats want to double down on this, they're going to have a hard time considering even their own voter base, the majority of Democrats at this point in time do not even agree with the Democrat Party stance on this. Yes. Do you think the Democrats abandon this stance or do they they cling to it to their own peril? You know, I never know what they're doing. I wish I could get into their minds because half of things they believe I can't even rationalize.

So I would hope and if I'm a smart strategist that they're just going to pretend it never happened. They're going to ignore it. They're going to say we never said that because that's what they tend to do. But if they do choose to double down on this, I say let them because they're going to say, we never said that because that's what they tend to do. But if they do choose to double down on this, I say let them, because they're going to have a very hard time winning any of other major elections if they continue to cling on to this ideology. I hope you're right. Yeah, Paula Scanlon, thank you very much.

And thank you for standing up for women. And I and I say that personally as a father of a young daughter who swims and loves it. And thank you for protecting her sport by doing that. I'm appreciative of you very much. Attention for your attention and help in just spreading the message on this. So I appreciate you too. Thank you, Paula. Thank you. Yeah, so good. So good. All right. Speaking of that, Paula just mentioned that we've got that image. Remember that image of President Trump standing alongside all of the girls as he signed that executive order?

I just want to remind you what that looked like as the president brought all those girls in. You know, if you'd like to gather around me, I think I'm going to be okay. Come on. Come. Come. Come.

Come. Come. Come. Come. What a great image. Secret services worried about them? We have to worry about them. We have big problems. Okay, do you want to ask him or do you want to do this? Watch what I do, then I'm going to give you some vids, okay? You ready? What a nice picture this is, huh, Governor? You ready? We'll do a good job. Wait, let me press that.

It was so cool to see. I want to make this a really good signature. All these girls. You know, this is a big one, right? Just all there. Supporting the President. The President's supporting them. Oh, I think we have a 10. We have a 10.

God bless you, Mr. President. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. A great scene.

Just a wonderful, wonderful scene as the President of the United States looks out for the women of our country, the girls of our country. And now the fruits of that are obviously found in paying off in what he just accomplished by getting the University of Pennsylvania to be brought to heel. What amazing news this weekend. God bless Paula Scanlon for that. Now, again, as you are watching us live this morning, for those of you on rumble.com, rumble.com slash Vince, thank you as always for being here, Chad. We've got this, the dial-up Democrat is still going. That's the update on this. He's still running his sock, still taking forever to speak.

It's a two-year-old girl, an American citizen. Oh my goodness, he just can't stop. He can't stop. Removed from her homeland. Oh my goodness, so slow. But can't get legal status. All right, anyway, that's Hakeem Jeffries. He's still going at this hour.

So really the only thing slowing down the big, beautiful bill at this moment is a guy who's got a room temperature IQ who they pushed out in front of a microphone. That's really, that's all that's left. So as soon as that guy Peters out, we're on our way. We'll have a big beautiful vote and then the president is set for a bill signing. The report is at 9 a.m. Friday Independence Day at the White House to celebrate the big beautiful bill and make it a big beautiful law. So that'll

be a really nice thing. Also speaking of victories this week for the president of the United States, we do have an update here, comes to us from the New York Times, but illegal border crossings have plunged now to the lowest level in decades. They're very excited about this at the White House.

The number of people crossing the southern border illegally has now dropped to levels that haven't been seen in, they say, decades. I think the president says literally ever, a sign that President Trump's message of deterrence and his hardline immigration policies are definitely working to keep people out. Border Patrol agents made just over 6,000 total arrests in June. 6,000 of them. That brings us down to the numbers of people who are crossing each day during the Biden administration. Now, 6,000 detained in June, and they're not releasing them.

They're deporting them. They're deporting them. So, big, big news. All right, hey, chat, thank you as always. God bless you too. I'm getting nice messages in the chat. Everyone's excited for Independence Day. Yeah, I've got my Independence Day American flag shirt on.

Couple of times a year, I like to take this thing out. You know, Memorial Day, Independence Day. Just seems fitting. Gotta hang the bunting on the house to compliment the American flag. It's a great weekend. It's a great celebration. And here's the thing.

It is, I saw some people disputing over, they're trying, figuring out, okay, what do you mean by the 250th anniversary? When does it start? It does start officially tomorrow. We begin that year, you know, just like when you were born, even though you're not yet one year old, we measure you in months. That's still the first year of your life. So in other words, this is the 250th year of the life of the United States of America beginning tomorrow, Independence Day. I hope you have amazing, amazing celebrations with your loved ones to honor our great country and can look with appreciation on the fact that we have good leadership in charge right now. Thank God it's President Trump.

And he's hoping to sign that big, beautiful law tomorrow, Friday, which would be really, really nice. It is Independence Day. We are going to have content for you on Independence Day. So if you'd like to join us live, you can do that. Rumble.com slash Vince, you can do that, or just listen to the podcast as always. Today, I've also got the big, beautiful radio show coming up.
