Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 MAGA Republicans are in a massive civil war right now. You have some of the top Trump influencers attacking other top Trump influencers. You've got them attacking J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's VP. You've got Laura Loomer, who's Donald Trump's top MAGA influencer who rides around with him wherever he goes. She says that J.D. Vance is trying to allow the Democrats to win the midterms in order for there to be an impeachment of Donald Trump so that J.D. Vance can become the president of the United States. She says that J.D. Vance is involved in a plot, basically a coup against Donald Trump. And you have a whole lot of MAGA right -wing influencers saying that. Then you've got people who are saying, no, that's ridiculous. And you've got Marjorie Taylor Green and J.D. Vance and a group of others going after Laura Loomer. It is an absolute mess right now in this MAGA civil war. Let me just show you

1:02 what's going on. Then let's take a look at what's happening in Florida's 7th Congressional District also, where you have a civil war brewing there between the current Congress member, Corey Mills, MAGA Republican Congress member, and then nearby in South Carolina Nancy Mace is going to the floor of the House. And she keeps on giving these speeches about Corey Mills, where she reads police reports that accuse him of engaging in domestic violence with his girlfriend and other just heinous conduct. It's an absolute mess when it comes to these MAGA Republicans. Let me tell you what they're not doing, governing for the people. Like actually, it's like all this drama and attacking each other. Dude, people just want affordable homes. People want to afford groceries. People want to afford rent.

1:49 And people want to be able to have their health care. What the hell is going on with this mess? You have Laura Loomer saying, you can tell a lot of people in the GOP are deliberately trying to botch the midterms so that Donald Trump is impeached. What happens if Trump gets impeached? We all know. Guess it's all part of their plan. Once you see it, there's no unseeing it. It's evil. And that followed her attacking J.D. Vance for giving a speech at a March for Life event. And Laura Loomer's like, why is the GOP pushing more abortion messaging in a midterm election year? Didn't they learn their lesson from 2018? Trump doesn't like when the GOP focuses on abortion. How many times do we have to say this? Trump gets it. The GOP will blow the midterms. Then J.D. Vance says, but the president literally sent a video to the March of Life event today and encouraged me to accept their invitation, which I was happy to do. It's interesting that some, quote,

2:41 conservative influencers spend all of their time attacking the administration and sowing division. It's disgraceful, actually. And then people who support Laura Loomer like, is J.D. Vance also going to chastise Candace Owens for attacking the administration or Tucker Carlson for sowing division? And Laura Loomer's like, no. He also never condemned his friend Marjorie Taylor Greene for calling Donald Trump a pedophile protector. This is all theatrical. If he doesn't like a division, how come he has never condemned Tucker Carlson for bashing literally every single Trump policy? It's all theatrics, all of it. Then Marjorie Taylor Greene's like, Laura Loomer is viciously attacking J.D. Vance for delivering a message to a pro -life Christian group at a March for Life. Then Laura Loomer goes, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disavowed by Trump for calling him a pedophile enabler. Folks, this is where we are with

3:30 this ridiculous MAGA GOP. Then you've got MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace saying that, reading this on the House floor a month or so back about Corey Mills, the MAGA Republican from Florida's 7th Congressional District. Just listen to what she says. Here, play this clip. Raz, for July 14, 2025, a different former romantic partner of Representative Corey Mills, who was apparently in a relationship with Representative Mills from November 21st to February 2025, reported to authorities in Florida that Representative Mills threatened to release nude images and other intimate videos of her and threatened to harm her future romantic partners in retaliation for her decision to end a relationship with Representative Mills after seeing the public reports described above concerning the alleged February 2025 physical assault.

4:30 And more from Congresswoman Nancy Mace about Mills playing this clip. Whereas on February 19, 2025, Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to resolve a private matter at Representative Corey Mills' residence, where officers were called to the 1300 block of Maryland Avenue Southwest around 1.15 p.m. for the report of an assault. Whereas police reports obtained by NBC4 Washington confirmed that the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department was investigating Representative Corey Mills for an alleged assault of a 27 -year -old woman that took place on February 19, 2025, at the residence of Representative Corey Mills. Whereas the first police report provided to NBC4 Washington by a source and confirmed by a second source familiar with the investigation said that the 27 -year -old woman accused her significant other for over a year of having grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out the door.

5:37 And also said that the woman involved showed the officer bruises on her arm, which appeared fresh. Also, we learned that Corey Mills owed more than $80 ,000 in back rent, was accused of physically assaulting a woman, currently has a restraining order against him from another woman, not even the same woman he was having an affair with. How does he even have all of the time? How do these MAGAs have any time for this? Their job is not to do. What the hell is even happening with these people? Oh, also the same Corey Mills guy that Nancy Mace was talking about. Corey Mills hired sex workers, allegedly, during a 2021 Afghanistan rescue mission that later became his political calling card, disturbing and potentially endangering his teammates, according to Roger Sullenberger. It was every night, according to one source, telling Roger Sullenberger, let me be clear, I'm just reporting what Sullenberger

6:30 is writing. He's known to be a good reporter, Sullenberger. So what the hell is even happening there? Can we get back to normalcy here? I want to bring in Bale Dalton. Bale Dalton is running for the 7th Congressional District in Florida, which is that seat that Corey Mills holds. Bale Dalton, a decorated Navy captain, former chief of staff at NASA. Just give you more of your humble, Bale. So I'll give some of your background right here. You graduated top of your class, attended the U.S. Naval Academy, served in the U.S.

7:02 Navy and Navy Reserve for 23 years, 13 years on active duty with deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa and the Pacific as a Navy helicopter pilot. You flew medical evacuation missions in Kuwait, delivered relief after Hurricane Katrina, supported special operations in Iraq and Africa and directed combat air support in Afghanistan. You're the kind of person we want to see lead in someone who's devoted their life to service. But Bale, you think you can flip this district that lots of people are saying this is a MAGA district. And even with all the stuff that Corey's doing, this is MAGA land. Ben, what do you say to people who say that? Oh, well, I absolutely do. I mean, well, first of all, you know, Ben, it's great to be here.

7:45 Thanks for having me. Appreciate the rundown of my bio. And I would just say at the top, you know, the differences between myself and Congressman Mills could not be more stark. It is black and white here. So I appreciate that intro. But yeah, absolutely. I mean, the people of Central Florida have been able to see what right looks like previously. You know, this particular district has been represented by both Republicans and Democrats. And, you know, when the people are getting what they need, they've also seen what right looks like. And currently, you know, the current offering with Congressman Mills, you know, I think at best, we can say he's at least distracted by all of these different investigations that he's a part of. And you did a pretty good job of the rundown. I don't know how much time we have here. But yeah, I mean, the people are fed up. You know, we've been promised a government that would be more efficient. We've been promised an economy that

8:45 would be headed in the right direction. Neither of those two things are happening. And we have people that are really struggling right now, having to make hard choices about, you know, putting food on the table with rising grocery prices. Here in Florida, we've got insurance prices that are completely out of hand. And our utility prices continue to go up with no increase in service at our homes and no accountability from the leaders of those insurance and utility companies. And, you know, right now, Congressman Mills, you know, he has voted actively to make these things more expensive, especially when we talk about, you know, health care, which is a crisis of Congress's own making. So, yeah, I think people are really fed up and they're looking for somebody who's actually going to, you know, roll up their sleeves and do the work. And that's what they have with me. Yeah, I want to talk about some of the domestic issues that we're confronting that you'll confront as a

9:42 Congress member. Then I want to talk about some of the foreign policy issues, because I think a lot of people, you know, in the district that you want to represent, Seminole County, half of Volusia County, which makes up the seventh, they're also disenchanted that Donald Trump is doing all this foreign stuff and ignoring what's happening in Seminole County and what's happening in Volusia and making things very dangerous for our troops and Americans abroad. So let's just start off with the with the domestic stuff, because the amount of gaslighting taking place. I mean, on Friday, Donald Trump was posting photos of golden arches that he wants to put up in addition to, you know, golden ballrooms.

10:19 And then Trump posts every day that things are great. Inflation is solved. Things are amazing and everybody's thriving and that this is a golden age. He just says it. And then people like Corey Mills repeat it. But people are struggling, you know, you know, unless you're a right wing oligarch billionaire friend of Donald Trump and you're involved in, you know, whatever manipulation of the market they do in any given day, you're struggling right now. And so as you travel across Seminole, across Volusia and you shake hands and you meet with people, what are you hearing from them? And I assume you're hearing a lot of crossover stuff as well. The people who voted for Trump or voted for Mills, especially amongst independent voters who are saying, I'm not going, back.

11:03 I'm not going back. And we've seen this trend in Florida, big swings in Florida and the specials and the mayor's races. So talk to us about that. Yeah, well, we hear it from everybody. You know, these are issues that don't affect just one group of people. I mean, Republicans, Democrats, independents, I mean, Floridians throughout the state and especially in this district, you know, really are struggling. And, you know, they're the ones that are paying the grocery bills when they're checking out of Publix or wherever they happen to shop. I mean, so they're feeling it in their pocketbook.

11:38 And now when they're faced with these incredibly rising healthcare costs, we've got folks that are having to make a decision of, am I able to have the assurance and the security of taking care of my family if I get sick or hurt and have to miss work? I mean, we're seeing data now where folks are having, you know, 400 % increases in what their health insurance costs would be. I was just down in Castleberry talking to a small business owner, and he's not only concerned about himself and his family, but his employees and how they're taking care of themselves and how he's going to be able to run his business if these folks are at home having to make choices about where they're able to, you know, spend their time because they're making these, you know, pocketbook choices because, you know, life in Florida is just too expensive right now. your background, I outlined at the outset, serving our country for all the years you have, you're a veteran,

12:36 you know, when, when Donald Trump is out there though, uh, so cavalierly attacking our allies abroad, people who you served with when, when, when, when you were overseas threatening these wars. There's also, you know, for, for, for Donald Trump doing this, there's a real world impact on our troops here. When you say, oh, I'm going to invade Greenland army. What that means is that you're committing young Americans to go out and die fighting allies who served with us in Afghanistan, in Iraq, you know, in Afghanistan, abroad in general, in various words. Talk to us about that. I just want to get your perspective as someone, you know, who served all these years when, when you just hear him or Corey Mills, just the constant warmongering against our allies. Yeah. Well, I, you know, I have served both in, uh, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the Horn of Africa and throughout the Pacific, you know,

13:38 shoulder to shoulder with, uh, our friends and allies, and especially, uh, you know, our NATO allies and, and Afghanistan. And, uh, you know, these, folks are putting their lives on the line and, you know, their treasure and resources as well. And, uh, you know, we, we don't have the resources as a country, uh, nor should we, uh, be out there, uh, all alone because, you know, we don't have, uh, the ability to do these things, uh, on our own. And frankly, if we're doing them on our own, we, we might not should be doing it. And, uh, I think one of the things that's really concerning to me, you know, I was a commanding officer and had, uh, you know, worked my way up through the ranks in the Navy over 23 years. And as a commanding officer, you know, I have a, a, a special, uh, charge, uh, to be taking care of my troops and making sure that, you know, the right plans are in place and that a long -term vision for

14:33 what our missions and operations, uh, may be able to achieve and their importance in the grand scheme of things. And so, you know, I would like to see, you know, what a long -term plan is or what an actual, uh, strategy would look like, because you're exactly right. We are asking Americans to commit, you know, themselves, their sons and daughters, uh, to be going out to these places on behalf of, of the country. And we also plan to our taxpayers who are going to be, you know, funding these operations and missions. So I would say that, uh, there's a lot of questions that need to be answered, uh, if we are going to prioritize something other than what folks are struggling with, you know, in their homes, trying to take care of their families and run their businesses, uh, because that's, what's affecting people today and right now. And that's what people are fed up with is that Congress seems to not be paying any attention to that. You know, and I, I think

15:27 you hit upon something there too, which is just like, and especially given your leadership roles that you've had, which is what's the plan here? Like we shouldn't look like the high school student who shows up after not doing the homework gets called on in class and then BS is it and makes it up. Maybe you fool the teacher once, or you fool the voters once or twice, but at some point it's like, what are, what are we doing? How is this helpful when we see all these other countries across the world now forming alliances with each other and cutting the United States out? How is this helping us when things are getting more expensive here? I mean, Trump and people like Corey Mills can say all they want that tariffs are paid for by the countries abroad, which is false. And we know that 96 to 90 % of those costs have been passed on to consumers. You know, I went to a store the other day, $6 towels are now $15 towels. You

16:26 know, the energy prices that I have are up significantly. The healthcare prices I have are up significantly. I have a child, childcare prices. You add all this stuff up, you know, and it's like, how does anybody afford any of these things? And what's the game plan? Is the game plan just Corey Mills and Donald Trump show up and say, what, what's happening, isn't happening. Like, and that's what they're going to do for the next three years. That's, that's just crazy stuff. Yeah. I mean, it is, it's a real shame that we haven't been, you know, laser focused as, I am, as I go throughout the district, uh, on these, uh, issues of, of rising prices and how they all add up and to basically an inability to live and certainly an inability to think about the future in any aspirational way. You know, I think the American dream is to come and, you know, experience opportunity and take advantage of opportunities that you have and then pass on, uh, you know, to your kids and

17:21 the folks that follow behind you, uh, a better foundation, a higher foundation to go from. And I, you know, that's just not happening because people are so worried about what is, uh, happening right now. And, and today, uh, as they're trying to balance their checkbook. I mean, yeah, you didn't talk about the grocery store or any one of these other, right. You know, I was in, uh, Home Depot the other day and I'm just like, what, I don't understand, uh, why this is not the top of mind issue and why Congress, uh, you know, seems to be, and, you know, especially folks like Congressman Mills seem to be, uh, you know, again, either they don't care about it or they're just not paying attention to it because they are taking active steps to make life harder and to make life more expensive, uh, for Floridians. And, you know, they, they deserve better. They deserve somebody who is providing faithful

18:15 representation, uh, to the federal government and making sure that we are focused on, you know, continuing to make this, you know, a great place to live. Bale, where can people find out more about your campaign and learn more about you? Sure. Well, our website's pretty easy. It's just my name, bailedalton.com. Uh, you can read more about, uh, you know, my story and, uh, my leadership, uh, uh, experiences throughout the Navy. And of course, uh, at NASA and, um, you know, also had, uh, worked with Senator Nelson when he was representing the state and sort of a bygone era where it seemed like Florida was putting up, you know, folks who were interested in working bipartisanly, uh, to, to have some real effect and make some real actions happen, uh, for Floridians, no matter, you know, what their upbringing and what their, you know, political, uh, views may be. So, you know, I've, I've been able to have the

19:09 experience, uh, that I think, uh, Floridians need. And I think the main thing is that I want to be focused on what they are focused on and, uh, you know, not distracted by, uh, the next adventurism that we seem to want to, to be on, especially having, you know, been a part of some of those, uh, um, missions and operations in the past.
