Speaker 1 (00:00):
And he represents the twelfth Congressional district here in the
state of Ohio, the one and only Troy Balderson in
studio with us and gosh Man, there's been so much
we haven't been able to really talk about a couple
different things have been happening politically.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I mean, this is like, think back, you're a little
older than.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Me, think back to the just a little though, I mean,
not like a point being. If you think back in
the history of you know, the political landscape, have you
ever seen one that's been more on fire, like fire
after fire after fire these last couple of years, and
then most recently these.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Last few weeks.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You have, of course President Trump, the attempted assassination by
a guy, by the way, this Crooks guy. I'm not
buying it, Josh and I talked about, I'm not buying that.
He's got three offshore accounts, and Iran has somehow maybe
tapped him to come on well and not so hard
to for God's sakes, he couldn't even make it on
(01:02):
his high school shooting team.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Listen, I don't know if you saw the new video
that came.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I did where he's running a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, listen, that video sealed any question for me whether
or not I believe, And Troy, I understand.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You guys are going to do your investigations.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Jim was talking about this earlier in the week on Monday,
And you don't have to agree with anything I'm gonna say,
but I'm just going to tell you I just do
not believe that. There's no way that that wasn't some
kind of inside job. It is the most ridiculous thing
I have ever seen that some nerdy goober can run
(01:39):
across the roof Hi and thirty yards in the state
plain sight.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Trump could have picked up a weapon and defended him.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So have you seen the video where Trumps speaking and
it's it's a camera shot from behind him and you
can see that and they like spotlight his head, they
kind of shade his head and you can see him
running across and you're going when you're.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Telling me, no sniper saw that, No secret service saw that. Dude, No,
I don't buy that for one second.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm telling you, And look, we're not here to go,
Troy stick this, you know, tenfoil hat on with us
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But at the same time, it's just like.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You, this is so to me. This seems so democrat,
this seems so leftist. To go, do not believe what
your eyes are telling you. You know, it's just like
you go, yeah, but they're looking right, they're watching the Yeah,
but that's not real.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What I mean, we're seeing this.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's it's gotta be infuriating for you to see it happen.
And it's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
It's frustrating to think of all the task forces and
study committees and everything we got to do when we
just get to the facts. And I am hoping, I'm hoping.
I'm very close. My closest friend in Congress is Mike Kelly.
Mike is Mike Kelly's hometown, Butler, PA Is where he
was born raised. He's got an automobile dealership there, his
(03:01):
family's been there. He played football for Notre Dame. I mean,
he bleeds Butler, Pa. And for him to see what
happened in that community and the event he was there
with his wife, Vicki and then their grandchildren, and to
hear his side of the story of how that all transpired,
what went down.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
How quick were you able to get in touch with him?
I didn't get in touch with him till the next day.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
He was, Yeah, he was inundated, but they were still
at the rally. He said they were at the rally
almost three hours, two and a half hours after after
Trump was gone, after Trump was gone, and the speaker,
thank goodness, has put Mike in charge of this time.
I mean, and look, this guy is a tiger, and
(03:47):
he put up a lot of bs, and he's going
to get after this thing, and he wants to find
out what happened. And we know a lot of what's happened.
He wants to know what happened on the inside. So
think go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So with Sheetles stepping down, you know, she shouldn't even
come in to testify because she didn't testify.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That she really didn't.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I watched all of that and uh boy, Mace lit her.
That was like, you know, look, people could say they're
over the top, there's all this grand standing. No, I
feel like people need to be firmed up, especially in
that situation when you could tell she is just being
(04:29):
quiet because she was told to be quiet. It's obvious
to me they told her, you know what, And then
I wonder if they go after the fact, they go,
you know, good soldier, you you're gonna step down and
we're gonna, we're gonna give you a chunk of whatever
to do that. I And look, I can't corroborate any
of that, but for her to pull that off and
not divulge anything or give you no answers, I mean.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Nothing, zil because she knew she was resigning the next day.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I had already been determined from nont know.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Why they put her up to even go before that.
I mean, look, here's what you had to fall on
the sword. Yeah, here's the other thing. You got Democrats
that were coming after her in that hearing. I mean
truly hardcore leftist democrats. Rocanna was going after her.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Jamie Raskin of all people, I thought that too.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I was like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
And you're going to see that continue on even with
this new task force that will be headed up by
Mike Kelly Mark Green from whose chairman of the Homeland
Security Uh. We got from the Democrat side, you got
Jason Crowe, who's a pat not a patche piloty, he's
some special Force guy. But you know, we'll see what happens.
(05:39):
But look, and Trump's were watching it. Probably here soon
Trump's interviewing with the FBI. This afternoon, so his own
personal interview. So that would be interesting to see what
the what comes out of that.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, I was just going to say, what where are
they going with that victim interview?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Why? I knew that, but I mean, like, what kinds
of things are they going to get from him that
he's not already divulged to literally the American people.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I mean we saw that on Nightflour. Yeah, Nightflour.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You and I were texting, You're on the floor there
and uh in Milwaukee, and before he's cause you go, oh,
here's a hawk Cogan you know or whatever. You're like,
look at him, and you know, we were going back
and forth. But he comes out and tells the story.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm just like, I guess maybe there might be some
interest or inside baseball or whatever that he's going to
give to them.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'm not even sure. I don't know how much. Mark.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
I think the best thing out of this will be
the present is going to be able to ask them
questions why. I mean, you're interviewing me, but you've got
to answer some questions that I have too.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
If you're snipers, your counter snipers are looking to that direction,
you can't tell me they didn't see this guy going.
It looked like a cartoon like him running across the
top of this building. You can see his head sticking
up and and to your point, Josh, I mean, it's
like there's no way they can say, well, we didn't
see him. Come on, it wasn't just that he picked
(07:00):
his head up and what you know, did a whack
a mole kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Whoop, whoop. I mean, he's like like.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Running across It is by the grace of God that
Trump is still here with us, and there really is.
And then what about everybody making fun of his ear
bandage when he was at the r NC. It's just
like people are so cruel.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Trump had this organized. This was all.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Trump had a guy execut, had a guy's brains blown out,
shot two other people, missed himself by a He did
all that. This was this was Trump was in on it.
He planned this to get sympathy. That's how that's.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
How mentally ill the far left has become.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
That is how trumped arrangement syndrome makes your brain not
think rationally. This was not I mean, I'm just think
about the think about how over.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The top stupid the idea is that Trump's like, yeah,
kill this guy at my rally to make.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
A real So just then then you have detective or
Detective Director Ray who goes, you know he can yeah,
he confirmed that it was a projective.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Shut up. He is a deep state lug.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's like, shut up, man, shut up. You're confirming it.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, thank you, thank you, yeah, thank you, thank you
very much.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Because everybody was you know, I also one of the
things we spotlighted kind of right after all of it
was I think it was it may have been Babylon
B or one of them said, you know this just
in that like Trump's being indicted for his own assassination attempt.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well yeah, and de file projectile avoidance obstruction, yeah, like
some sort of and it's just like that's totally it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They're just it's like, no matter what happens, they're like, oh,
we got some sort of violation that happened. We gotta
get him. But we're gonna get him. We're gonna get them.
So it's so then, so you have all of that,
and that's continuing to play out, no question. Then you
have Biden dropping out and I was saying this and look,
(09:06):
I don't know, I'm doing this because I'm very rarely right,
but with regard to predictions. But with Padu Check on
the air like a million years ago, I was like,
Biden's not going to be the guy, and he's like,
listen to me, they can't do you know. But I
sent him a note and he goes, I am I
am absolutely in shock, you know, like basically, and I'm paraphrazy.
(09:27):
But when that happened, we know, of course, the way
the whole thing went with the I guess they call
it a debate.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
There really wasn't much of a debate.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
But I don't know from the twelve or thirteen mark
in minute in, you start watching this guy and you go,
there is no way they can deny any of this.
You're watching him on TV just you know, like doing
the Grand Medicare right.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He goes, We're.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Finally going to beat He's like, yeah, you beat them, all.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Right, and the best commercial out there.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
When Trum says, I don't understand the word he just said.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And I don't think he did either, oh man.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And it's not an indictment on him, it's sad.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
I've had a couple people come up to me and said,
like the Democrats set this up. This was their way
to get rid of Biden because they wanted the general
public to see how bad he was. That was their
excuse to get rid of him. I mean, why did
they set this debate up this early?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
They knew he was not coming, and that's why they
came up there so that American people could see it.
But here and I said something to Stasha kind of
off there about. I said, like, come on, Stacia, I
know it's not her directly, but the media has got
to hold Kamala account. You said, ask the tough questions,
asked the tough questions.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
How come she'd let it go so long?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Are you going to tell me Kamala wasn't in the
room with him for the past six eight months and
not seeing the condition he was in.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
She's been with him the whole time.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
She knows.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Look, Troy, this is not a secret. And I even
said that the night of the debate. I said, We've
been witnessing this for the better part three and a
half years, and there is no doubt in anybody's mind it.
Some people may have for the first time, go what
happened to him?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But if you now look what we do for a living.
Every day we pay attention. We really have to drill
down on a lot of stuff that said. We watch
him over it and over and over. He needs directions
where he's sitting. He can't walk into you. You come in,
you sit to the right, and you sit down in
that chair, and then you you know, and he's reading
stuff off the teleprompter that is not supposed to be read,
(11:31):
like directions or instructions or something, and he just can't
differentiate that stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And we've watched that.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We've witnessed that for the better part of three and.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
A half years.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We all knew, but there is no way A. This
guy should be running the country. And b there is
no way in hell he's gonna get four more years.
It just can't happen because he's not really doing this anyway.
We know it's somebody else that's got their hand up
his butt doing the Biden puppet thing.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I'll just say it, you know, so.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We know, and all of a sudden, they're the party
of you know, we got to say democracy, and we're
gonna play who the person you're gonna be voting for.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No one's gonna get a vote on.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
The Democratic leadist to Obama, and.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to this BS
nonsense honeymoon, second Coming of Jesus Christ thing the media
is doing with Kamala. Oh, I can't wait for it.
They we the American people need to hear from her.
They need to be reminded of the things she said
about how she doesn't think any human being, she would
(12:36):
not deny healthcare to anybody regardless of their immigration status.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Correct. They can't shelter her. That, they can't shelter her forever.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Absolutely talked about defunding the police after the firing bit
mostly peaceful protest summer in twenty twenty. She's a reficult communist, leftist.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You can you can hide her as long as you
think you get Eventually, you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Just got to step up to them.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Do the basement strategy with Kamala ding dong. No no no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You've got to She's got to go out and talk.
And I'd like to see at least three debates between
her and Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, look, I after the first one, I think she'll
want nothing. She want nothing to do with it. And
you saw you saw Trump last night? Go okay, was
it last night? It may have been the night, I
don't know, one of his most recent rally where he
said last night he said, okay, let's do it in Philadelphia,
you know, he finally and I think he's just going,
I don't care if it's Stephanopolis, I don't care if
(13:27):
it's ABC, I don't care, because he was saying, look,
I wanted to be Fox.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I want to do this on Fox News.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I want the you know, the the people who are
conducting it, I want them to be you know, fine,
because I think Stephanopolis was the.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
One who was going to be doing the next one.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So yeah, I think they do it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Oh yeah, they're doing virtual roll call today?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Was that when today's the virtual roll call? I believe.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, they got to hurry up and get her. They
got to hurry up and get her, you know, across
the line here for this US and then go. But
the Party of Democracy is a joke.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We've got to save democracy by doing everything that's undemocratic.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is just just trust us on this. The ends
justify the means. Absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
The Congressman Troy Balderson in studio with us more with
him and and you
