| 0:02.3 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:04.0 | If you listen to the media, you would think that Donald Trump has lost all support from the Republican Party because of the war in Iran. |
| 0:14.5 | Well, guess what? |
| 0:15.6 | They're lying to you yet again. |

| 1:47.4 | attacks, and then the countless political battles within the party and outside as well. |
| 1:53.0 | And yet, after all of that, Republican voters have not abandoned him, if anything, they become |
