00:00For four straight years, and I will keep it again by contrast Joe Biden has cut Medicare advantage payments

00:06You don't even know this for two straight years a total betrayal of seniors senior citizens

00:13he's cut your advantage payments for two years and nobody knows it and

00:19The seniors have to get on board because I'll tell you what they're being treated badly

00:25The military is being treated badly our vets are being treated the worst of all how about our vets?

00:31They're laying in streets. You know I had the highest approval rating for president ever with the Veterans Administration

00:38Now it's one of the lowest at what I did was incredible like no long waits

00:44If you have to wait a long time you go get a private doctor

00:46We pay for it people were waiting three four months to get people were becoming terminally ill waiting

00:52Also firing Civil Service and other workers that were sadists and crooks

00:57But they would say this they were beating up our soldiers in their not prime time in prime time

01:03They wouldn't be able to do it. They get their ass handed to them, right?

01:06But they were not doing it in think of it. They were not

01:10They were not treating our soldiers right and I got it

01:13And you couldn't fire them because under civil service was you cannot fire anybody

01:20They had one in Arizona they caught him stealing

01:23$400,000 they caught him cold he admitted everything they couldn't fire him they could do everything

01:27But they couldn't fire him stole

01:29$400,000 but they were beating up or so there were sadists

01:32And I got the right to fire him through Congress that had to go through Congress both of them had to go through Congress

01:38choice

01:40Choice had to go through Congress

01:42So we got him choice all right we and I'll tell you the number of people who were saved

01:47I got the highest rating ever

01:4992% think of this so now it's down to

01:5340% they ended all of this stuff. Why would they end it?

01:57They hate our country and they hate our military. They hate our veterans. They hate our soldiers

02:03Biden and they made up a story about me with suckers and losers

02:08They made up this story about me looking down at graves saying suck it

02:14They make it up suckers and losers who were surrounded by military people

02:19There's nobody that's stupid enough to make that statement think of it, and I was president. I would have said that would have been

02:26Justified for somebody to start taking swings at me as president, but they made it up

02:32It's a phrase that was totally made up by a third-rate magazine. That's going out of business losing a fortune

02:37I think it was the Atlantic a

02:40Magazine that nobody reads they got lucky they got some sucker to fund it for a little while

02:45Some stupid sucker her husband's looking down her former husband is looking down. He's saying you dumb. I should have never

02:55She took his money, and she said the Atlantic magazine

02:58Let's let's waste millions of dollars, but no they made it up

03:01And you know you say it's not true, but just 10% 5% of military people believe it

03:08This is what we have to live with it's horrible

03:10Who would say it just think of it who would say that about even if you hated the military you wouldn't say it

03:16And you wouldn't certainly say it to military people

03:19So just you're just from a common standpoint, but that thing's haunted me for three years for three years

03:26I'll never forget. I walk out of a big rally everything was great

03:30It was an unbelievable and some of the fake news over there one of them

03:34Said sir, did you call the the dead the dead military?

03:38Suckers and losers before I even responded. I said here we go

03:43Because who would do such a thing and I'm the exact I rebuilt our military. I was better than any president ever to our

03:54They'll say anything just like they try and now say

03:58With Biden with the cheap fakes or whatever they call just what they made up a name

04:03They're saying he was perfect all these things when he sat down because of he had obviously a problem

04:09In Normandy do you think do you think that McCrone was impressed McCrone's an elegant guy smart?

04:15He's at the top of his game. I don't think he was too impressed

04:19But just like the other day as I said with Obama or any one of the other times oh

04:25It was fake reporting by the conservative media, it wasn't fake reporting it was it was just there

04:31It was just there, but they made up a suckers and losers statement so terrible in

04:38My stupid people when I wanted to refute it. They said sir

04:43don't dignify it with a

04:46Refutal

04:48Refutable or a refutal

04:50What the hell word would that be refunneled what they'll say he didn't know refunnel or refutal, but they don't know either

04:59Sir it should not be dignified sir I

05:03Said well, I gotta fight that that's a the worst thing you could probably say to me would be that you said sir

05:09It's going nowhere three years later. It's still simmers, and you know what anybody in the middle now

05:14I fight I talk about it all the time because it doesn't make sense nobody could say a thing like you can't

05:19Even if you hated the military you couldn't say that because it would be it would actually be dangerous

05:25It would be it would be so bad. Nobody would say that

05:29and

05:31So now I speak about it all the time because these people are liars they make it up

05:35It's now on top of that you have AI on top of that you now have AI

05:40To go along with that so it's a it's sort of a dangerous world out there on day one

05:44We will throw out by dynamics and replace it with
