Transcript

Democrats certainly never called for any release on any of the Epstein files in the past. Republicans have campaigned on that for years now. I certainly have been one of them and so has the president. Last night we saw that they are still for open borders that they are for political violence that uh they cannot even stand uh for the victims of families. It's really gross when you see their hearts and it makes it very difficult to call for true unity because who wants to unify with people who cannot say that they want to put Americans before illegal aliens who won't say that they even love our country.
