[0:00] The media is furious that the president is dropping bombshell intelligence showing that [0:05] China interfered in the 2020 election. Now, even before the president's address tonight, [0:11] which we will unpack, the media was upset that the president was bothering to follow up on [0:16] election security. Just look at this exchange between a reporter and Caroline Leavitt. [0:21] To the degree that this speech tonight is about elections past, not elections upcoming, [0:26] the 2020 election has had dozens of recounts, lawsuits, audits. 2024 election, widely believed [0:33] to be safe and secure. There's not really any question about that. A lot of people- Because it [0:38] was too big to rig. Well, I think a lot of people look at this- There's a massive amount of votes for [0:41] this president. That's why he's in the Oval Office right now. No one disputes that. And there were [0:45] significant amount of votes for Joe Biden, who won in 2020. I mean, I think the question is, [0:49] why is the president unable to let this go? Well, first of all, Garrett, I think part of the [0:55] problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans [1:00] across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections. [1:05] And your premise of your question, you're jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even [1:10] hearing it yourself. And it's not just that exchange. Media outlets were trashing this speech [1:15] well before it started. Check out this headline on MSNOW from earlier today, hours before the address. [1:21] It says, the biggest problems with Trump's primetime address tonight. I mean, they cannot even try to [1:29] hide their TDS. The article says nothing interesting at all. And it goes into, this is all because Trump [1:35] is out of ideas. Other media outlets also clearly have such massive issues with Donald Trump. They refused [1:42] to air his primetime speech tonight. ABC, NBC and CNN all decided not to air his speech on their primary broadcast [1:53] channels. I mean, so this, the media, they're right now facing accusations of censoring again. This is the same [2:00] media that pushed the vaccine in 2020-21, said that Joe Biden was in perfect health, said that Hunter's laptop was [2:08] disinformation. The BLM riots were peaceful. Yet the president makes this significant, rare primetime [2:15] address to speak directly to the American people about this declassified intelligence, about election [2:22] security and voter machine vulnerabilities. And they won't cover it live on their primary channels. [2:29] I mean, these networks, they can air whatever they want, but you'd think something as important [2:33] and as big as this would be worth covering as it's providing information to the public. You just have [2:39] to wonder why these networks are tanking in the ratings. Now let's get into this major address by [2:45] the president. This is how it started. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. America is [2:53] respected like we have never been respected before. We have more money being invested in the United States [3:01] than at any time in the history of our country. More Americans are working today than ever before. [3:08] He's a showman. Now the president announced declassified intelligence, revealing vulnerabilities in America's [3:16] election infrastructure, showing that China compromised election infrastructure in the largest breach of [3:23] American voting data in history. Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of [3:30] critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. [3:37] This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like [3:45] levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference. [3:52] Donald Trump said that China acquired 220 million voter files through nefarious activities and [4:00] he said that voter data from 18 states was stolen or hacked by China. Take a listen. [4:06] Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out [4:13] what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's [4:21] illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. [4:27] Donald Trump said that China wanted Donald Trump to lose in 2020 after his administration imposed [4:34] tariffs on Chinese goods. Now Trump says that the evidence of this has been covered up by the deep state and he [4:41] said that those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden. [4:48] The cover up of this colossal security breach is even more disturbing in light of the additional [4:55] information showing that China engaged in other election related activities to undermine my first [5:02] administration and our 2020 campaign. They did not want and they just didn't want it. They fought like hell not to [5:10] have it. Donald Trump to win and for good reason. The president said that he's asking the director of [5:19] national intelligence, the Department of Justice, the FBI and the CIA to investigate how and why such [5:25] crucial information was hidden and to fire those involved in the cover up. He says that American agencies have [5:33] long known and covered up that American election machines are extremely exposed to attack by foreign actors. He also [5:41] said that there are around 270,000 non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections and [5:48] he of course spoke about the midterms and the Save America Act saying that that must pass. This of course [5:55] requires all voters to show proof of voter ID and that voters must also prove citizenship. [6:02] There will be no corrupt mail-in ballots, which if you watched California and so many other places, [6:09] mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt. So you would have no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, [6:21] military deployment or travel. If you're going away on business or vacation, these reforms are urgently needed to stop the [6:30] vulnerabilities that I've mentioned. To all Americans, I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, [6:36] call your representatives in the House and Senate and demand that they pass the Save America Act without delay. [6:45] Together we will restore faith and confidence in our country and we will be bigger, better and stronger than ever before. [6:55] depending on worn manip validity. [6:56] What happens to you by dwelling? [6:58] What happens to you by 머리? [7:01] As that means header and Shirley's you. [7:07] It's like you trace the Tanzania out. [7:11] It's incredible, but it's important as you like Facebook or Twitter or Twitter as an everybody.
