1 00:00:01,150 --> 00:00:01,370 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:01,410 --> 00:00:03,330 Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back to The Carl Jackson Show. Your 3 00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:05,270 Speaker 2: daily dose of objective truth in a world of confusion. 4 00:00:05,290 --> 00:00:06,670 Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about that. I'm going to 5 00:00:06,690 --> 00:00:11,540 Speaker 2: break it down. Because their policies are very, very important. 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,100 Speaker 2: We've got to bring restore sanity in America. And I 7 00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 2: think it's going to start happening. 8 00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:21,340 Speaker 1: All right. Welcome to the Carl Jackson show. 9 00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:23,980 Speaker 2: This is your daily dose of objective truth and your 10 00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:28,610 Speaker 2: daily dose of freedom. AOC's influence hits a brick wall. 11 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:30,610 Speaker 2: I'm going to be getting into that. But first, before 12 00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:32,070 Speaker 2: I do want to give you some of the news 13 00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:33,949 Speaker 2: and one of the things that we're going to get 14 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,970 Speaker 2: you caught up on or up to speed on tomorrow, 15 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:40,870 Speaker 2: since it's happening live today, Jack Smith is testifying before 16 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:44,670 Speaker 2: the Senate Judiciary Committee. So we will be releasing a 17 00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:48,050 Speaker 2: We will be releasing a show for you tomorrow to 18 00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,970 Speaker 2: make sure you stay tuned for that. So before I 19 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:54,940 Speaker 2: get into how AOC's influence is hitting a brick wall, 20 00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:56,620 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about some of the 21 00:00:56,660 --> 00:01:00,180 Speaker 2: news that's going on that you may not be hearing about. 22 00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: And I think you need to know, essentially, we're bringing 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,590 Speaker 2: the Jackson 5 back or Carl Jackson's 5 back. Freedom 24 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:12,979 Speaker 2: means affordable cars. This is something happening. with the Trump 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: administration that I think you need to know about because 26 00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:19,649 Speaker 2: I don't think Republicans are even good at talking about 27 00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:23,670 Speaker 2: this administration's wins. And certainly the left is going to 28 00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:27,090 Speaker 2: demonize absolutely everything that President Trump is doing. So here's 29 00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: the good news. This, according to USA Today. So the 30 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: Department of Transportation said this week that they released a 31 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,449 Speaker 2: press release that they're moving to lower the required Fleetwood 32 00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:47,390 Speaker 2: average fuel economy for cars that is set by regulators 33 00:01:47,450 --> 00:01:50,510 Speaker 2: from a current requirement of more than 50 miles per 34 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: gallon by 2031 to just under 35 miles per gallon. 35 00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: The fuel economy rollback, which has been dubbed freedom means 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: affordable cars by the Trump administration, comes as the average 37 00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:08,260 Speaker 2: price of gas in the U.S., reached $ 4. 47 this past Monday, 38 00:02:08,540 --> 00:02:12,430 Speaker 2: this according to AAA. That's up from an average of 39 00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:18,270 Speaker 2: $ 4. 08 one month ago as of August 28th and $ 3. 13 40 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:22,609 Speaker 2: one year ago on September 28th of 2025. The Trump 41 00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:26,709 Speaker 2: administration official said lowering the fuel economy requirements for car 42 00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: makers will make cars cheaper in the long run by 43 00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:35,049 Speaker 2: an average of $ 1, 300. Let me tell you why this 44 00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:39,010 Speaker 2: is important. This is all about control. Remember, here's what 45 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:40,810 Speaker 2: the left wanted to do when it came to vehicles. 46 00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: They want to make sure that you get out of 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: ICE vehicles, internal combustion engines, old school type vehicles. They 48 00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you're either in electric cars 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,820 Speaker 2: or taking public transportation. The goal was to make sure 50 00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:59,740 Speaker 2: that people are not attracted to what they would consider 51 00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:03,230 Speaker 2: gas guzzlers because people Apparently, or at least according to them, 52 00:03:03,389 --> 00:03:07,330 Speaker 2: the gas guzzlers were killing the planet. We do know now, obviously, 53 00:03:07,410 --> 00:03:09,790 Speaker 2: with EV cars that they do a lot more damage 54 00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:13,810 Speaker 2: in production than a car with an internal combustion engine 55 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:16,590 Speaker 2: does in like five, six, seven years of life, if 56 00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:19,810 Speaker 2: not more on the road. So this is all a farce. 57 00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: This is all about climate change hysterics. This is what 58 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,940 Speaker 2: the left This is what the left does. It's constant hysterics. 59 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: But the goal was to get you out of your car, 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: get you away from freedom. And then that way they 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: can control you. What the left wants to do, basically, 62 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,470 Speaker 2: Agenda 21. They want everybody to live like you're in 63 00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:40,170 Speaker 2: New York. 64 00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:40,510 Speaker 1: City, right? 65 00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:46,350 Speaker 2: Whether you use mass transportation or. It's easier for government officials, 66 00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:49,590 Speaker 2: whether that's federal, whether that's state, to control you and 67 00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:52,690 Speaker 2: control where you go, know where you're going. And so 68 00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:54,650 Speaker 2: this is a big blow to that. This is also 69 00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: going to help out car makers. that have been forced 70 00:03:57,340 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: to make cars that people absolutely don't do not want. Now, 71 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: if you want an EV, if you want a hybrid, 72 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: I have absolutely no problem with that, especially if you 73 00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:08,650 Speaker 2: have to drive a lot, drive far. 74 00:04:08,930 --> 00:04:10,210 Speaker 1: Hey, I totally get that. 75 00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:14,690 Speaker 2: But Americans deserve choice and more people do not want hybrids. 76 00:04:14,730 --> 00:04:17,669 Speaker 2: More people do not want EVs. And so this is 77 00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:19,490 Speaker 2: going to give car makers choice. This is going to 78 00:04:19,529 --> 00:04:22,409 Speaker 2: give you choice. That's what's called freedom. This is why 79 00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:25,539 Speaker 2: the left hates it. And some more news that DHS 80 00:04:25,779 --> 00:04:29,940 Speaker 2: has announced a surge in sanctuary cities. Obviously, this is 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,260 Speaker 2: a great, great thing. Crime and rent has come down 82 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,660 Speaker 2: in America in many places in America as a result 83 00:04:37,779 --> 00:04:39,940 Speaker 2: of it. So there was some confusion apparently over the 84 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:43,150 Speaker 2: weekend last weekend when somebody put out a guidance that 85 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:47,870 Speaker 2: seemed to put certain illegal immigrants off the table for Well, 86 00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:51,390 Speaker 2: Tom Homan cleared that up, announcing that a new ice 87 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:55,310 Speaker 2: surge into sanctuary cities was going to occur. News Nation 88 00:04:55,370 --> 00:05:00,310 Speaker 2: reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ice is ramping 89 00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:03,830 Speaker 2: up its presence. in sanctuary cities, which are known to 90 00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:08,219 Speaker 2: limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal officers. That's 91 00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,980 Speaker 2: according to the Department of Homeland Security. All right, so 92 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,940 Speaker 2: this is great news. In a statement posted over the weekend, 93 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:21,950 Speaker 2: last weekend on X, DHS said that ICE has initiated a, quote, 94 00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:25,450 Speaker 2: surge in sanctuary cities, close quote, as part of the 95 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:31,010 Speaker 2: Trump administration's continuous crackdown on immigration. The states and jurisdictions 96 00:05:31,170 --> 00:05:39,419 Speaker 2: identified include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Minnesota, 97 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:46,620 Speaker 2: New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. Homan says 98 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,500 Speaker 2: ICE isn't going anywhere amid immigration enforcement scrutiny. 99 00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:51,980 Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing. 100 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: That all of the places where these sanctuary cities are 101 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: happening happen to be in blue states? kind of like 102 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,500 Speaker 2: all of the states that are really in cities that 103 00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:02,780 Speaker 2: are really expensive are all led by Democrats. Isn't it 104 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: amazing how that's happening? It's almost as if these states 105 00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: must believe that if they didn't have the abundance of 106 00:06:10,180 --> 00:06:15,419 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, that either their states would be purple, they 107 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: wouldn't get the votes that they want. It also gives 108 00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: them a cudgel to use against mean, evil Republicans. Oh, 109 00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:25,030 Speaker 2: you guys are against immigration. Immigrants built the country. No, 110 00:06:25,150 --> 00:06:28,570 Speaker 2: American citizens built the country. There were legal immigrants that 111 00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: came into this country. Also, American citizens that were already 112 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,980 Speaker 2: here that contributed to building this country. We can't get 113 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,430 Speaker 2: into this divisive politics like the left wants. 114 00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:41,690 Speaker 1: All right. So this is really good news. 115 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:45,750 Speaker 2: Again, crime rates in areas where illegal immigrants come into 116 00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: the country and don't let the left Don't let the 117 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: left get it twisted for you. They often what they 118 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,630 Speaker 2: try to do, not often, all the time, frankly, is 119 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:58,550 Speaker 2: conflate legal immigration with illegal immigration. You want criminals out. 120 00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:01,770 Speaker 2: But frankly, the people, if you came to this country illegally, 121 00:07:02,210 --> 00:07:04,070 Speaker 2: I don't blame you. This is the greatest country in 122 00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:04,430 Speaker 2: the world. 123 00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:06,830 Speaker 1: I get it. But you have to do it the 124 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:08,870 Speaker 1: right way. You have to do it the legal way. 125 00:07:09,210 --> 00:07:12,740 Speaker 2: No country can take on an invasion. It's going to 126 00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: change the culture. It's going to change. Obviously, it's going 127 00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: to it's going to drain our resources. It just can't happen. 128 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,020 Speaker 2: And some more news. 129 00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:23,500 Speaker 1: A record share of students approve of using violence to 130 00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: silence people. Hmm. Of course they do. 131 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,990 Speaker 2: There's some news I'll have to get into later this 132 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:34,790 Speaker 2: week where the Trump administration is cracking down on federal 133 00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:39,030 Speaker 2: student aid. And this is, in my opinion, it's one 134 00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:41,490 Speaker 2: of the best things the Trump administration is going to 135 00:07:41,530 --> 00:07:41,850 Speaker 2: be able to. 136 00:07:41,870 --> 00:07:42,590 Speaker 1: Do long term. 137 00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: To get rid of the crazies that we see on 138 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,370 Speaker 2: college campuses that graduate and get into the workforce. These 139 00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:51,930 Speaker 2: people that show up at these protests, anti-semi protests or 140 00:07:52,090 --> 00:07:53,810 Speaker 2: just crazy left wing protests. 141 00:07:54,130 --> 00:07:55,250 Speaker 1: You've got to get rid of that. 142 00:07:55,290 --> 00:07:58,830 Speaker 2: But also the violence, honestly, when, you know, as Dennis 143 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,460 Speaker 2: Prager has said before in the past, if you teach 144 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:07,020 Speaker 2: people that Trump is a tyrant, a dictator, conservatives are, 145 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,180 Speaker 2: Christians are, Jews are, whatever it may be, they're going 146 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: to react. They obviously have an obligation, especially if they 147 00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:18,290 Speaker 2: believe Trump is a tyrant or a dictator, because then 148 00:08:18,330 --> 00:08:20,230 Speaker 2: you're saying this is a person that wants to totally 149 00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:22,530 Speaker 2: rule your life. Take over your life where you have 150 00:08:22,630 --> 00:08:25,770 Speaker 2: no freedom. So you're going to expect people to act 151 00:08:26,010 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: in a way that is violent. So this isn't comforting 152 00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:32,220 Speaker 2: to know, to think that students at colleges and universities 153 00:08:32,260 --> 00:08:34,140 Speaker 2: should be exposed to contrasting views. 154 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: That's what college is supposed to be for. Right. 155 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:41,150 Speaker 2: You you have contrasting views. You learn your reading, writing, arithmetic, 156 00:08:41,170 --> 00:08:43,790 Speaker 2: whatever it is, learn how to apply it or actually 157 00:08:43,809 --> 00:08:47,170 Speaker 2: you learn your profession skills. with some basic knowledge of 158 00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:49,650 Speaker 2: the world and you apply it to the workforce. But 159 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:52,820 Speaker 2: that's not happening on college campuses anymore. You got to 160 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,459 Speaker 2: be lefty or you get punished. More than half of U.S. 161 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,819 Speaker 2: college students say controversial speakers should be banned from their 162 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,020 Speaker 2: campuses with a record high number, adding that violence is 163 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,870 Speaker 2: acceptable to stop them. And a disturbing study shows, according 164 00:09:06,890 --> 00:09:07,910 Speaker 2: to a disturbing study. 165 00:09:07,929 --> 00:09:08,190 Speaker 1: All right. 166 00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:12,370 Speaker 2: The results provide a dangerous and sobering picture, quote unquote, 167 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:16,070 Speaker 2: according to The New York Post. of council culture on U.S. campuses, 168 00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:20,630 Speaker 2: this according to the expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 169 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:25,570 Speaker 2: college undergrads nationwide by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. 170 00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: This is crazy. The atmosphere isn't just cautious, it's hostile, quote-unquote. 171 00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:36,300 Speaker 2: The study's authors wrote, quote, students continue to show low 172 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,069 Speaker 2: tolerance for controversial speakers, And troublingly, more believe it's acceptable 173 00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:45,050 Speaker 2: to shout down a speaker, block access to events or 174 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:48,530 Speaker 2: even resort to violence to silence campus speech more than 175 00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:49,590 Speaker 2: ever before. 176 00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:52,290 Speaker 1: Close quote. This according to The New York Times. And again, 177 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:53,310 Speaker 1: this can't stand. 178 00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:56,130 Speaker 2: I mean, we saw, sadly, what happened to Charlie Kirk. 179 00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:58,450 Speaker 2: I've never watched that video. I don't intend to watch 180 00:09:58,470 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 2: that video. But Charlie Kirk. was a good guy, a 181 00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: good Christian conservative going on college campuses, willing to have 182 00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:08,700 Speaker 2: friendly debate and dialogue. 183 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,180 Speaker 1: And he was murdered for it. And so we have 184 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: to slow this down. 185 00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:14,970 Speaker 2: I think one way to slow this down is to 186 00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:18,449 Speaker 2: make sure there's not federal funding for college campuses. A 187 00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:20,589 Speaker 2: couple of more pieces of news that I want to 188 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:23,890 Speaker 2: give you before we get on to the issue, which 189 00:10:23,970 --> 00:10:27,130 Speaker 2: is AOC's influence has hit a brick wall. I'm going 190 00:10:27,150 --> 00:10:30,670 Speaker 2: to explain to you why this is very important for 191 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:34,569 Speaker 2: the national elections coming up in 2028. I believe even 192 00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:36,670 Speaker 2: for the midterms, I'll give you a couple of a 193 00:10:36,730 --> 00:10:41,980 Speaker 2: couple of examples. The the message that is degrading the 194 00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: DSA anytime Republicans go against the DSA. And that's the 195 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 2: way they need to frame it, because that's what these 196 00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:50,620 Speaker 2: elections are about. It's people that love freedom against Democratic 197 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: socialists or Democrat socialists. 198 00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: It's having an impact. And AOC is feeling the pain. 199 00:11:00,059 --> 00:11:02,140 Speaker 2: OK, a couple more things in the news before we 200 00:11:02,179 --> 00:11:03,730 Speaker 2: move on to the nitty gritty, I feel like you 201 00:11:03,770 --> 00:11:07,330 Speaker 2: need to know about. So SCOTUS is approving a citizen checks, 202 00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:13,050 Speaker 2: citizenship checks for voting eligibility. This should be a no 203 00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:16,469 Speaker 2: duh moment, but it isn't for the usual suspects on 204 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:20,500 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. But this, according to Skoda's blog, the 205 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,580 Speaker 2: Supreme Court last week, you guys heard the news, cleared 206 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: the way for the Trump administration to move forward with 207 00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:32,099 Speaker 2: this plan to use a modified centralized database to verify voters' citizenship. 208 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 2: So in a seven-page opinion issued just 39 days before 209 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,810 Speaker 2: the November 3rd, 2026 election, the justices paused the ruling 210 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., surprise, surprise, that 211 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,699 Speaker 2: it blocked the government from doing so on the ground 212 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 2: that it violated, among other things. 213 00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: Federal privacy laws. Really? 214 00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 2: Are illegals entitled to federal privacy? The unsigned opinion for 215 00:11:58,580 --> 00:12:02,340 Speaker 2: the majority indicated that the lower court's order, quote, inhibits 216 00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:05,330 Speaker 2: the federal government's efforts to assist state and local agencies 217 00:12:05,730 --> 00:12:10,370 Speaker 2: in the proper administration of midterm elections. 218 00:12:11,470 --> 00:12:16,210 Speaker 1: That is insane. Close quote. I mean, not the insane part. 219 00:12:16,510 --> 00:12:20,189 Speaker 2: In a dissenting opinion that was joined by Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, 220 00:12:20,309 --> 00:12:25,230 Speaker 2: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, they called last week's decision a, quote, 221 00:12:25,470 --> 00:12:30,850 Speaker 2: questionable interim ruling about two statutory provisions that the Supreme 222 00:12:30,929 --> 00:12:32,910 Speaker 2: Court has never before interpreted. 223 00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:34,469 Speaker 1: Close quote. 224 00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:37,690 Speaker 2: She also contended that the majority, I believe KGB, focuses 225 00:12:37,809 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: only on the harms the government will purportedly suffer. absent 226 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: a stay disregarding the harms that the use of medical 227 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: database has caused and will likely continue to cause to 228 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: lawful voters. 229 00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:57,110 Speaker 1: So lawful voters. All right. This is pretty crazy. 230 00:12:57,150 --> 00:13:01,150 Speaker 2: So basically, the liberal justices dissent and their argument is 231 00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: that allowing only citizens to vote would harm illegal aliens. 232 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,380 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's their argument. That's insane. Oh, here's some good news. 233 00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: And this is, I think this aligns with what we're 234 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:16,580 Speaker 2: going to be talking about momentarily here. Teens suddenly less 235 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: gay for some reason. This, according to the Daily Caller, 236 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,429 Speaker 2: this is very interesting. New data from the CDC show 237 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:31,250 Speaker 2: that fewer high school age Americans are identifying as lesbian, 238 00:13:31,630 --> 00:13:35,449 Speaker 2: gay or bisexual. The decline is largely driven by young women. 239 00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: That's according to the CDC's Youth Risk Survey of U.S. 240 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: 9th and 12th graders in 2025. So there is a 241 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,810 Speaker 2: relative decline in LGB identification across each grade compared to 242 00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:53,950 Speaker 2: two years earlier, according to a breakdown of the findings 243 00:13:54,010 --> 00:13:58,470 Speaker 2: by San Diego State University psychology professor Gene Twenge. 244 00:13:58,570 --> 00:13:59,510 Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. 245 00:13:59,650 --> 00:14:03,290 Speaker 2: I wonder if now that the Trump administration is in, 246 00:14:03,630 --> 00:14:05,849 Speaker 2: now that people are fighting back against some of the 247 00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:09,510 Speaker 2: radical nonsense because I'm sorry, the lesbian and gay community 248 00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:12,530 Speaker 2: have allowed themselves to be co-opted by the trans community. 249 00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:14,530 Speaker 2: I think this has been a turnout for a. 250 00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:15,109 Speaker 1: Lot of people. 251 00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: Also, you had the social contagion that was happening, I think, 252 00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: both in the lesbian, gay, LGBT, let's say, community, if 253 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: you will, during the COVID lockdowns where so many young 254 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,350 Speaker 2: people were online. Seniors ranging in age from 17 to 255 00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:36,489 Speaker 2: 18 had the highest rate of LGB identification among the 256 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:41,220 Speaker 2: four grades measured, 16% identifying as LGB. However, that was 257 00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:45,340 Speaker 2: still two percentage points below the rate among seniors surveyed 258 00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: in 2023. I can go on with the stats, but 259 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: suffice to say the numbers of young people identifying as 260 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,180 Speaker 2: LGB are declining. And frankly, at that age, it's not 261 00:14:58,220 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: something you should be Concerned about it should be you 262 00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,950 Speaker 2: should be shaping your religious views, your worldview. You should 263 00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:09,970 Speaker 2: be shaping your education and not worrying. And I frankly, 264 00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:13,010 Speaker 2: I believe it's a social contagion. I don't believe it's 265 00:15:13,090 --> 00:15:17,380 Speaker 2: just sexual. But sadly, I think it's become political. So 266 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: who you're going to align with. And sadly, that's what 267 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: it's become. Now, let's get on to what I think 268 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,010 Speaker 2: is good news for America. AOC's influence hits a brick wall. 269 00:15:28,390 --> 00:15:28,630 Speaker 1: All right. 270 00:15:28,650 --> 00:15:30,690 Speaker 2: So here's a summary from RedState.com. 271 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:31,690 Speaker 1: Great write up. 272 00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:36,830 Speaker 2: AOC is getting major pushback from swing state Democrats. 273 00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,690 Speaker 1: All right. In the run up to the 2026 midterms. 274 00:15:40,010 --> 00:15:41,030 Speaker 1: All right. 275 00:15:41,130 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: And their message is basically, hey, man, stay away. Axios 276 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,220 Speaker 2: unleashed the nasty news and blasted it into the ether 277 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: on Sunday night, according to Red State. And this was 278 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,830 Speaker 2: last week. So Democrats in some of this year's most 279 00:15:54,890 --> 00:15:58,730 Speaker 2: critical congressional battlegrounds are sending a clear message to AOC. 280 00:15:59,010 --> 00:16:01,370 Speaker 2: We don't want you to campaign for us. So this 281 00:16:01,490 --> 00:16:06,100 Speaker 2: does not bode well for AOC if she's it while 282 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:08,340 Speaker 2: she's because we all know she's doing it while she's 283 00:16:08,410 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: contemplating this this run for for the presidency. This will 284 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,260 Speaker 2: potentially hurt her, hurt her ability to be a contender. 285 00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:21,510 Speaker 2: And I think the message is loud and clear. The 286 00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:25,210 Speaker 2: more people learn about the DSA, the less attracted they 287 00:16:25,650 --> 00:16:30,270 Speaker 2: are to people like AOC. So while the DSA, they 288 00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:36,060 Speaker 2: have a great base in blue cities like New York City, statewide, nationwide, 289 00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:36,940 Speaker 2: not as much. 290 00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: The more people know about them. 291 00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:42,340 Speaker 2: However, Republicans, in my opinion, have been a horrible have 292 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: been doing a horrible job in messaging and making sure 293 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,460 Speaker 2: that people know the differences between AOC. the Trump administration 294 00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:52,900 Speaker 2: and his accomplishments and the DSA since they co-opted the 295 00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:56,930 Speaker 2: Democrat Party. But nonetheless, this doesn't bode well. This tells 296 00:16:56,970 --> 00:17:00,970 Speaker 2: you that internal polling suggests from other Democrats that they 297 00:17:01,050 --> 00:17:02,810 Speaker 2: don't want AOC around. 298 00:17:02,830 --> 00:17:03,330 Speaker 1: All right. 299 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:07,810 Speaker 2: So AOC is currently testing waters for a potential Senate bid. So, again, 300 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 2: this isn't a great sign for the big leagues if 301 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: she wants to go national or even statewide. 302 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: All right. 303 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,260 Speaker 2: So Axios reported the Democrats on some of the most 304 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,459 Speaker 2: important battleground races this fall are shunning AOC with party 305 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:26,230 Speaker 2: officials even saying some candidates have explicitly asked their team 306 00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:30,950 Speaker 2: to stay away. One Democrat strategist working in a key 307 00:17:30,990 --> 00:17:34,810 Speaker 2: swing district was especially blunt. Here's what he had to say. 308 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:39,410 Speaker 2: This polling is atrocious for her. So, again, they have polling. 309 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,900 Speaker 1: All right. She's a lightning rod. 310 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,050 Speaker 2: This Democrat strategist, I guess he reported to Axios on 311 00:17:47,090 --> 00:17:50,790 Speaker 2: the basis of anonymity, says, again, she's a lightning rod. 312 00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:53,810 Speaker 1: The polling is atrocious for her. Please stay away. 313 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:57,990 Speaker 2: That explains why you're seeing more Kamala Harris in the news. 314 00:17:58,730 --> 00:18:01,449 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris would be a complete and utter disaster for 315 00:18:01,470 --> 00:18:04,100 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party if she ran. She's not even clear 316 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: if she's going to run. But the fact that she's 317 00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:09,980 Speaker 2: out more, you're seeing her face more tells you there's 318 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,850 Speaker 2: got to be polling that suggests AOC isn't doing as 319 00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:20,689 Speaker 2: well as Democrats hope. Now, she's a pretty face. 320 00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:21,409 Speaker 1: She's fun. 321 00:18:21,869 --> 00:18:25,010 Speaker 2: She's all of those great things for the Democrat party. 322 00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:28,350 Speaker 2: But once you peel back the onion, once you start 323 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: looking at the policies, I don't think AOC can do 324 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:35,340 Speaker 2: as well in a national race. But I will tell 325 00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:38,870 Speaker 2: you this, there's no doubt she would have The youth support, 326 00:18:38,990 --> 00:18:41,220 Speaker 2: there's no doubt there will be a lot of enthusiasm 327 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: for her. But when it comes to thinking Americans, and 328 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,619 Speaker 2: particularly people in the middle, are the independent voters that 329 00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: you'll have to win, I think AOC would have an 330 00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:57,389 Speaker 2: extremely hard time of doing just that. All right, so again, 331 00:18:57,910 --> 00:19:01,090 Speaker 2: so that is good news. The background Axios gave on 332 00:19:01,109 --> 00:19:04,460 Speaker 2: the recent developments, Ocasio-Cortez and her allies argue that that 333 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:10,230 Speaker 2: her unapologetic advocacy for big progressive policies like Medicare for 334 00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:14,730 Speaker 2: all would make candidates like her more electable than moderate liberals. 335 00:19:14,810 --> 00:19:18,990 Speaker 2: But many Democrats in tight races this fall have disagreed. 336 00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: All right. 337 00:19:19,619 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: So Medicare for all is not going well. That argument 338 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: is swing states because people don't want single payer health 339 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,859 Speaker 2: care system where the government runs everything. She was welcomed 340 00:19:28,900 --> 00:19:32,189 Speaker 2: by many Democrats in competitive primary races. But now that 341 00:19:32,210 --> 00:19:35,910 Speaker 2: they're in the general general election, not so much. 342 00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:38,910 Speaker 1: So, again, the timing couldn't be worse for her. 343 00:19:39,250 --> 00:19:43,270 Speaker 2: But this is great for the Republicans to know. So 344 00:19:43,310 --> 00:19:46,330 Speaker 2: she is barnstorming through upstate New York, meeting local officials 345 00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:49,930 Speaker 2: and building a voter turnout operation as she's weighing whether. 346 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,980 Speaker 2: to run for the Senate or the presidency in 2028. 347 00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:58,570 Speaker 2: Her stops include Buffalo and Ithaca, New York, where they 348 00:19:58,609 --> 00:20:01,850 Speaker 2: have effectively doubled a test of her appeal outside her 349 00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:04,610 Speaker 2: Queens and Bronx political base. I would also say this, 350 00:20:05,090 --> 00:20:09,390 Speaker 2: the race to watch is the gubernatorial race in Washington, D.C., 351 00:20:10,010 --> 00:20:13,379 Speaker 2: If the Republican can do well there against Kathy Hochul, 352 00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:16,420 Speaker 2: I think it's case closed for AOC. I'm not even 353 00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,460 Speaker 2: sure she'd be able to win a Senate race in 354 00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: New York City if if Blakeman does well in in 355 00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:24,740 Speaker 2: in the in New York state, because I think you 356 00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: go back and play that giggle gate video of 9-11 357 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,380 Speaker 2: with her and Mamdani laughing. Here's a quote from AOC. 358 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,870 Speaker 2: She says she wants to basically transform New York. She says, 359 00:20:34,910 --> 00:20:37,700 Speaker 2: I want to be very forthright. about our intentions here, 360 00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:40,150 Speaker 2: which is to transform the state of New York. So 361 00:20:40,170 --> 00:20:43,430 Speaker 2: she wants all facets of New York to be like 362 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:46,270 Speaker 2: New York City. But here's some examples of where Democrats 363 00:20:46,330 --> 00:20:49,450 Speaker 2: are saying stay away or they used her for the primary. 364 00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:53,430 Speaker 2: Now they're saying bye bye. Montana Democrat Sam Forstag provides 365 00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:57,820 Speaker 2: a perfect example. Forstag rallied with AOC in May on 366 00:20:57,940 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: his way to winning the Democratic House primary. Now he's 367 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: running in conservative Montana in November. And Axios asked whether 368 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: he'd like AOC to come campaign for him again. He says, 369 00:21:09,220 --> 00:21:11,310 Speaker 2: I don't, and quote, I don't intend to be having 370 00:21:11,330 --> 00:21:13,270 Speaker 2: a lot of folks from out of state campaigning with 371 00:21:13,290 --> 00:21:18,390 Speaker 2: me over these next 40 days. So stiff arm to AOC. 372 00:21:18,750 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: Another example, obviously, Abdul El-Said in Michigan. He brought AOC 373 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: into his campaign with him during the final weeks of 374 00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:30,820 Speaker 2: his primary. And his allies spent nearly a million bucks 375 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,270 Speaker 2: on television ads. according to Axios. But then El-Said won. 376 00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:38,850 Speaker 2: Since then, what have we seen? He's backing away from 377 00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:43,030 Speaker 2: Piker and AOC. Axios reports that he has spent almost 378 00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:47,580 Speaker 2: nothing on television ads featuring AOC, and she also hasn't 379 00:21:47,619 --> 00:21:51,420 Speaker 2: campaigned with him while Mike Rogers attacks him as too 380 00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:55,459 Speaker 2: far left for Michigan. So I think AOC's influence is 381 00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,540 Speaker 2: hitting a brick wall, and this is great news for 382 00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:00,770 Speaker 2: America and Republicans the same.
