Starting point is 00:01:15 BetMGEM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. 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,
Starting point is 00:01:46 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,
Starting point is 00:02:15 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?
Starting point is 00:02:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:04 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.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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
Starting point is 00:04:26 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
Starting point is 00:05:17 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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.
Starting point is 00:06:40 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
Starting point is 00:07:19 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,
Starting point is 00:07:39 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
Starting point is 00:07:55 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
Starting point is 00:08:11 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
Starting point is 00:08:27 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
Starting point is 00:08:43 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?
Starting point is 00:09:08 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
Starting point is 00:09:38 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,
Starting point is 00:09:54 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,
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:11:20 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,
Starting point is 00:11:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:25 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
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:50 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,
Starting point is 00:14:04 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.
Starting point is 00:14:52 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
Starting point is 00:15:36 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
Starting point is 00:16:29 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
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
