Although, save your breath right now because you're not going to get in because we've got to deal with all the breaking news. First, I got to note, Charlie Jim and I are working.

Philip is on a boat fishing.

John, who y'all don't know, he's on a golf course taunting me with pictures from

his golf course.

Jim and Charlie and I at least have a work ethic.

All right.

Bob Menendez is indicted by the federal government. My goodness gracious. Of course, the Democrats are saying,

see, we told you there wasn't justice for everybody, although a lot of the progressives,

they hate Bob Menendez. They think he's too pro-Israel. This is actually kind of amazing,

but there's a side to the story that isn't being talked about and needs to.

Before we get to that, however, I want to read you parts of this indictment.

So the United States of America, this indictment is unsealed now.

They are suing Bob Menendez, the senator from New Jersey, and his wife, Nene Menendez, and three others.

From at least 2018 up to and including 2022, Menendez and his wife engaged in a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey associates and businessmen.

Menendez provided sensitive U.S. government information and took other steps that secretly aided the government of Egypt.

Around June of 2022, federal agents executed search warrants on the New Jersey home and safe deposit boxes of the Menendezes.

Get this, get this.
