00:00 >> I think there's something deeper going on in the Republican Party here, and I am
00:03 upset about what happened last night.
00:05 We've become a party of losers at the end of the day, we're the cancer of the Republican
00:10 establishment.
00:11 Let's speak the truth, I mean, since Ronald McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC
00:15 in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022, no red wave that never came.
00:21 We got trounced last night in 2023.
00:24 And I think that we have to have accountability in our party.
00:28 Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, got a $5 million bribe from Ukraine.
00:31 That's why we're sending $200 billion back to that same country.
00:34 The fact of the matter is the Republican Party is not that much better.
00:37 You have the likes of Nikki Haley, who stepped down from her time at the UN, bankrupt or
00:42 in debt was her family.
00:43 Then she becomes a military contractor.
00:45 She joins the board of Boeing and otherwise, and is now a multimillionaire.
00:49 So I think that that's wrong when Republicans do it or Democrats do it.
00:52 That's the choice we face.
00:54 Do you want a leader from a different generation is going to put this country first?
00:58 Or do you want Dick Cheney and three inch heels?
01:01 All right, Mr. We've got two of them on stage.
01:04 Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy.
01:07 This is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties.
01:10 It has consolidated all media into one state TV media arm.
01:14 That's not democratic.
01:15 It is threatened not to hold elections this year unless the US forks over more money.
01:19 That is not democratic.
01:20 It has celebrated a Nazi in its ranks.
01:22 The comedian in cargo pants, a man called Zelensky doing it in their own ranks.
01:25 That is not democratic.
01:26 Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question, which is about looking
01:31 at families in the eye.
01:32 In the last debate, she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter
01:36 was actually using the app for a long time.
01:38 So you might want to take care of your family first.
01:40 >> Leave my daughter out of your voice.
01:41 >> The next generation of Americans are using it.
01:42 And that's actually the point.
01:43 You have her supporters, crapping her up.
01:44 That's fine.
01:45 Here's the truth.
01:46 The easy answer is- >> In my first week as president, we would
01:56 ban TikTok.
01:57 They want to go ahead and sell it.
01:59 Let them go ahead and sell it.
02:00 But I'll tell you another reason we would do it.
02:02 Facebook's not in China.
02:05 X is not in China.
02:07 They're not permitting a free flow of information to the Chinese people from our social media
02:13 companies.
02:14 We just open the door and let them do what they're doing.
02:17 TikTok should be banned because they are poisoning American minds, and I would do it week one.
02:22 >> He should explain why he didn't have Mexico pay for the border wall.
02:26 He should explain why he racked up so much debt.
02:29 He should explain why he didn't drain the swamp.
02:31 And he said Republicans were gonna get tired of winning.
02:33 Well, we saw last night, I'm sick of Republicans losing.
02:38 >> Everybody wants to talk about President Trump.
02:39 Well, I can talk about President Trump.
02:41 I can tell you that I think he was the right president at the right time.
02:45 I don't think he's the right president now.
02:47 I think that he put us $8 trillion in debt, and our kids are never gonna forgive us for
02:52 that.
02:53 >> In a safer world, American innovation, American hard work has always been the thing
02:57 that has driven our country to greater things.
03:00 I'm gonna be the president who will do those big things.
03:03 We're not gonna be small, and I'll say this about Donald Trump.
03:07 Anybody who's gonna be spending the next year and a half of their life focusing on keeping
03:10 themselves out of jail and courtrooms cannot leave this party or this country.
03:14 It needs to be said plainly.
