Donald Trump is viciously retaliating against Maga Republican Congresswoman Lauren Bober.
You heard that right.
Lauren Bobert, he goes from attacking Marjorie Taylor Green to Lauren Bobert.
What do they have in common?
They both supported the release of the Epstein files.
They both signed the discharge petition.
Now with Lauren Bobert, you'll also recall that before that discharge petition ripened,
what did Donald Trump do?
He summoned Lauren Bobert to the Oval Office, where he surrounded her with Pam Bondi,
Cash Patel, J.D. Vance, and others.
and they started screaming at her.
How dare you sign this?
We're going to screw you over if you dare allow this discharge petition to ripen.
Take your name off, Bobert right now or else.
The same way they were harassing and intimidating the other Republican women who signed on,
like Marjorie Taylor Green and from what we're hearing as well,
Dancy Mace was getting it behind the scenes as well.
And she's put out statements saying that she's thinking about resigning.
Lauren Bobert actually held her ground.
She kept her name on the discharge petition,
which was something that we should all applaud,
not her overall conduct.
So what is Donald Trump doing against her?
Now, Trump's retaliating against her
and also against the governor as well
because the governor refuses to pardon
a January 6th insurrectionist named Tina Peters.
But here's what Donald Trump's doing.
He's saying, I'm going to screw over the people from Colorado
and make them drink a water that is dangerous and toxic and could seriously harm them.
And I'm going to make sure your water bills in Colorado go up.
Screw you, Colorado is what Donald Trump says.
So Trump used his first veto to block a bill that would bring clean drinking water to rural Colorado,
a bill sponsored by Lauren Bobert and passed unanimously by both the House
and the Senate. This is retaliation for Bobert supporting the release of the Epstein files and Colorado
refusing to free a convicted felon currently in state prison for election tampering. Yet again,
Donald Trump is engaged in criminal behavior, impeachable behavior, treasonous behavior. He wants to
kill the people of Colorado. Now, let me tell you about this act that Lauren Bobert introduced and that Donald
Trump just vetoed.
Here's how she described it.
Today I introduced the Finish the AVC Act to complete the Arkansas Valley Conduit project.
Southeast Coloradans have been waiting for decades for the completion of the Arkansas
Valley Conduit.
The Finish the ABC Act will help local governments finally finish this major project.
Rural families and businesses need access to clean, sustainable water.
They can depend on every day.
It's time we get the AVC done for Colorado, and I look forward to working with Senator Bennett
and another senator there to get this bill through both chambers of Congress, and she did
succeed in getting it through, but Donald Trump vetoed it.
Now, here's what Lauren Bobert just put out this message.
So Trump decided to veto a completely non-controversial bipartisan bill that passed both the
House and the Senate unanimously, Bobert writes, why? Because nothing says America first like denying
clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for
him in all three elections. I must have missed the rally where he stood in Colorado and promised to
personally derail critical water infrastructure projects. My bad, I thought the campaign was about lowering
costs and cutting red tape. But hey, if this administration wants to make its legacy blocking
projects that deliver water to rural Americans, that's on them. I'm going to continue fighting
for Colorado and standing up for our rural communities, our farmers and every family that
deserves safe, reliable drinking water without decades more delay. And I sincerely hope this veto
has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling
out corruption and demanding accountability.
Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics.
This is not the last Southeast Colorado will hear from me on this critical infrastructure
project.
Now, Donald Trump and the White House are bragging about screwing over the people of Colorado
and screwing over Lauren Bobert and the governor there.
Here is the official veto proclamation by Donald Trump.
Here's what he writes.
To the House of Representatives, enough is enough.
My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies.
Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the nation.
For these reasons, I cannot support the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act.
Therefore, it is my duty to return H.R. 131 to the House of Representatives without my approval.
So veto. Now, here is Lauren Bobert before she put her name on the discharge petition, where she says, of course, we need these files released.
You replay this clip.
I think anything anybody wants to see is the list. We want to see the list, period.
I don't care what names are on it. I want to see what names are on it.
And a reminder, this is how it was reported
when Donald Trump called in all his top officials
at the DOJ to try to shake down Bobert
in order to tell Bobert that you better remove your name
from the discharge petition or else.
Here's how it was reported on CNN.
Let's play this clip right here.
What one source tells me is that this meeting
was planning to include some key figures
from the Justice Department,
the FBI director Cash Patel,
the attorney general,
Pam Bondi, the Deputy Attorney General
Todd Blanche, and then one of those
Republicans in support of transparency,
Republican Representative
Lauren Bobert of Colorado.
So what might happen at this meeting
if Bobert could be swayed
in a different direction on
wanting transparency here? That is
all something that is going to
be at issue and that the White House
is clearly concerned about having
discussions about it. On top of that,
Dana, another thing to remember here
is that the Justice Department has tried
many different ways to distract
from releasing the full Justice
Department files. They tried to get grand jury
records out there. Blanche talked to
Glane Maxwell, a co-conspirator in Florida.
When Galane spoke to
Todd Blanche, she told him that
Trump himself never acted inappropriately
and she never saw anything untoward
in any way toward underage girls.
Dana? Yeah, but she
also said he was never at the house and in the
email Epstein said he was at the house.
So this is going to be a very interesting
meeting the fact that Lauren Bolbert is
going to be there is especially fascinating.
Now, when Caroline Levitt, the chief propagandist
at the White House, was asked about all of this
and the fact that there was this shakedown taking place
of Bobert, here's what Caroline Levitt said.
She's like, doesn't this show transparency
that we are openly telling you we're doing a shakedown
of Bobert and threatening and harassing her?
Here play this clip.
Reagan.
In transparency, Caroline, why are White House officials
been meeting with Representative Boebert in an effort to try and get her to not sign this petition
calling for the release of the files. Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump
administration are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please? Doesn't that show our
level of transparency? Doesn't that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit
down with members of Congress and address their concerns? That is the, that's a defining factor
of transparency. Having discussions, having discussions with members of Congress,
about various issues.
And I'm not gonna detail conversations
that took place in the situation room,
in the press briefing room.
Hey, everybody, Ben Myceles here
from the Midas Touch Network.
I wanted to let you know about my podcast partner,
Michael Popock's new law firm.
It's called the Popock firm.
Michael Popock's pursuing his dream
of starting his own law firm,
really based on the popular demand
by all the Midas, Mighty, and Legal A-Fers
who were approaching Michael Popak
with their cases,
and saying, can you help us?
And at that time, Popak was not able to.
So he went out on his own.
He started the Popak firm where he is now handling catastrophic injury cases like car accident
cases, trucking cases, malpractice cases, big negligence cases, wrongful death cases.
So if you or someone you know have a case like this, the consultation with Popok's firm is free.
Give him a call.
See if you have a case.
It's the Popok firm.
dot com, the popock firm.com, or you can call 877 Popok A-F, P-O-P-O-K-A-F. So 1-877 P-O-P-O-K-A-F.
Give Michael Popok a call, and I'm really proud of you, Popok. Thanks for all the hard work you're
putting in. Now, here is when you had Democratic Congress member Rokana and Thomas Massey,
who spearheaded the discharge petition. Here they are.
praising Lauren Boebert for not backing down to Trump's intimidation.
Play this clip.
I gotta give credit to Lauren Boebert.
To walk into the White House, the center of power, the free world, really, and to sustain
that and to come back out and to be solid, and also to Nancy Mason, Marjorie Taylor Green.
There was all the speculation that they might take their names off and they never did.
So it's not a hoax, it's not a moot point, it is a very serious thing.
There are a thousand victims and there are survivors who,
have had a press conference with Rokana and I,
and that's what we're fighting for, justice for them.
Now, here is Kyle Clark, who back on November 18th,
2025, when the discharge petition was signed,
when it was voted on in the House and the Senate,
you have Kyle Clark, one of the best reporters in the country,
and he reports on local Colorado news.
He said that Lauren Bobert deserves praise
for going against her party and signing the discharge petition.
here play this clip. It is no exaggeration to say that Congresswoman Lauren Bobert's most impactful
accomplishment in five years in Congress is the forcing of the release of the Epstein files. The House
voted nearly unanimously today to do it with fellow Republicans like Colorado's Gabe Evans taking
credit for the transparency, but it was Bobert, not Evans, who stood nearly alone in her party
in defying Republican leadership and President Trump to force this vote. Now, this was a
big initiative again for Lauren Bobert. Here she was on the House floor talking about how important
this finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act was because she says we'll play this clip first.
She talks about how her bipartisan bill, if it's not passed, will lead to water costs tripling in
Colorado because the water gets so dangerous in rural areas in particular. Here play this clip.
Radium, uranium, and other naturally occurring elements are found in the surface and groundwater
in southeastern Colorado, and the water quality is problematic year-round because of its
salinity, selenium, sulfate, hardness, and magnes levels.
The Bureau of Reclamation has found these contamination levels are so severe that local communities
could see the costs of their drinking water triple.
without this legislation.
The Finnish the ABC Act
will ease the burden of inflation costs
that have caused the original $640 million estimate
of construction in 2019
to rise to more than $1.3 billion.
Here she is talking about it again
on that same House floor speech.
Let's play this clip.
The general news recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
And thank you, Mr. Chairman,
for your support on this bill.
I rise to speak in favor of my bill, H.R. 131, finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act to help complete construction of a critical infrastructure project that will provide tens of thousands of Southeast Colorado residents with access to clean water.
Southeast Colorans have waited decades for the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit.
And while we have made a lot of progress in the recent years and the first two segments of the project,
are under construction, we still have a long way to go.
This bipartisan and bicameral legislation
will help the Bureau of Reclamation and local governments
finally complete this major water project.
Rural communities in southeastern Colorado
need and deserve access to clean, reliable, and affordable water
that they can utilize on a daily basis.
Once completed, the Arkansas Valley Conduit
will provide 7,500 acre feet of water per year to as many as 50,000 Coloradoans across 40 different
communities in Pueblo, Otero, Bent, Kiowa, Prowers, and Baca counties.
Now, here's what Democratic Senator Michael Bennett had to say. Trump just vetoed my Arkansas Valley
Conduit Bill passed unanimously to deliver clean, affordable water to Southeast Colorado. This is a
governing it's a revenge tour it's unacceptable i'll keep fighting to get rural colorado the clean
water they deserve now lots of people are asking can this bill uh somehow get back to life can you put
this funding in an omnibus bill and kyle clark says perhaps you can put it in an omnibus bill
but a lot of the other magas may be thinking oh we can't get Donald trump mad and we don't want to do
that. So just screw over Colorado. Now, it should also be noted that this comes at the same time that
Donald Trump now refers to Marjorie Taylor Green as a traitor and says things that are green
turn brown because they rot. And he describes her as rotten. And you know, she gave that interview
with the New York Times that we reported on where she went scorched earth on Trump for covering up
the Epstein files. And Trump said to her when he was yelling at her and screaming at her for supporting
the release of the Epstein files, Trump said, you're going to hurt my friends if this gets released.
I can't have my friends get hurt, referring to the other predators that Donald Trump wants
to protect as part of this child sex trafficking ring. So folks, in summation, Donald Trump
and the MAGA Republicans are covering up a child sex trafficking ring. Any of the Republicans,
no matter how MAGA they are, who supported the release of files to expose the child sex trafficking,
ring. They're now viewed as subversive persons and they are being exiled from MAGA because
they do the bare minimum in wanting to release the names of people and the files of a child sex
trafficking ring. And now Donald Trump is trying to kill the people of Colorado because he wants
to cover up a child sex trafficking ring. That right here is the corrupt criminal treasonous
traitorous, disgusting, despicable, vile, evil Trump regime.
And I come to that opinion at the end based on the evidence presented here, too.
