My call is 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.320 to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.759 important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.479 end up miserable. But if the most important thing is 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:26.000 doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:27.800 You got to stop sending your kids to college. You 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.920 should get married as young as possible and have as 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.559 many kids as possible. Go start attorney point, you would say, 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.360 college chapter. Go start attorny point, you say high school chapter. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.239 Go find out how your church can get involved. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:38.840 Sign up and become an activist. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.800 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.839 most important decision I ever made in my life, and 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.440 I encourage you to do the same. Here I am Lord, 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:58.920 Use me. Buckle up, everybody, here we go.

It's August fifth, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.320 and it would be a Wednesday, which means last night 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.480 we had the Michigan Primary and everybody was watching for 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.280 the hotly contested Democrat side of the Ledger Mike Rodgers 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.959 was uncontested on the Republican side. But it looks like 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.600 it was a lot closer than we anticipated it. But 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:51.200 Abdul Elseiah did, I believe pull it off, barring any surprises. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.000 But that's the race has been called by the New 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.200 York Times and others. He won forty eight point foury 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.040 eight percent to forty seven point five to one percent, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.920 a difference really of about I mean, it's it's razor thin. 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.360 I mean, it's what is that fourteen fifteen thousand votes 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.120 separating them. The polling had this thing at like maybe 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.320 ten right, it was going to be a ten point 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.080 fifteen points, maybe fifteen. And so because there was so 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.480 much irregularities, I wanted to bring on an actual polster 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.360 right at the jump. Here, Mark Mitchell. He's a head 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.480 polster at the honest polling company. Mark, good to have 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.799 you back, my friend. There's so many irregularities here. And 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.120 I want to get into this Trump tweet because he 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.000 and me talked before the show. I think I misinterpreted it, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.720 but directionally we're kind of getting the same thing. But 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.760 maybe it's slightly a different conclusion here. I'm going to 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.600 read it and then you have I'm going to have 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.040 you react to it. So Wayne County Detroit in Michigan 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:51.880 is one of the most corrupt voting areas in the 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.320 United States, if not the world. It is strictly third World. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.959 No arguments yet, right, Mark, we're all in agreement with 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.040 the boss about all that. Yeah, miracles happened in Wayne County, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.639 including more votes being gassed than there are voters by 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.360 a lot. Therefore, the communist who has not liked in 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.040 Detroit is potentially in vote counter trouble. The radical left 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.520 socialist has a real shot, And don't discount all of 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.400 those fake mail in ballots that will surprisingly show up 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.760 at the last moment. Get ready for another rigged election 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.320 in November. We must vote for Mike Rogers and make 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.920 Michigan too big to rig. So I interpreted this as 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:33.480 there was funniness afoot in Michigan. There was the establishment 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.040 Dems came out. They did not want Abdul l Sied 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.160 to win. They wanted Hailey Stevens to win, and they 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.000 tried to rig it, and they tried to rig it 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.880 in some weird ways. Because some of this stuff just 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.120 doesn't make any sense, Mark, And I'm not sure what 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.200 the president means then, but you tell me what you 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.320 think he means and why he's got it a little 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:51.920 bit wrong here. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.920 Well, so we got a break down. We'll go with 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.280 the end. First, he says, vote Mike Rogers, Okay, are 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.160 good there? Vote for the Republican. The Democrats shouldn't win 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.680 in Michigan. But he's tweeting because he's upset with the 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.280 response of what happened last night? Well, what's he upset about? 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.920 Syed won and it seems like he would have preferred 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.120 Stevens to win, which is why he's objecting to what 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:23.120 happens with the electioneering, right, And that's wild and totally 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.119 in congruos because, like what you said, the polling overwhelmingly 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.120 said that Syed was going to win. The prediction markets 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.919 both had him at like ninety nine to one. The 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.360 fact that it was a one point race is actually 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.520 kind of Nutso it would be one of the biggest 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.400 polling like misses of the industry that I can recall 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.840 off the top of my head. And this isn't like 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.120 New Jersey where you know, hey, it's a special election 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.839 and it's just after twenty four and there weren't that 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.000 many people that pulled it, and so of course we 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.359 were surprised. No, this is like a lot of people 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.560 were interested in this race, and good pollsters. You guys 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.039 said fifteen percent. Emerson is a good and you know 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.599 they missed. Sometimes it's hard. It's getting harder and harder 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.400 with all of this money, with all the electioneering, with 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.359 the machine problems that we haven't fixed, with the increase 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.800 in mail in ballots, And so I look at that 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.960 race and I say, well, what do we know so far? 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.920 There was a huge turnout, There was a really big 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:22.719 mail interurnout, and Syed massively underperformed the polling. And so 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.599 what I'm looking at then is why did Syed underperform 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:31.680 the polling? Well, he was out competed. Stevens had a 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.640 ton of money. They were probably doing the things that 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.359 Democrats do and Democrat states to get their establishment candidate 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.480 to win because she is the establishment candidate, which was 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.279 probably handing out packs of cigarettes in the inner city 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.480 and driving mail in ballots around to the like nursing homes, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.960 like all of the things that we know about happen. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.719 I think that's what happened. And so I mean Trump's 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.359 upset that the establishment Democrat won because now you're going 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:03.040 to have a DSA candidate, let's be real, the establishment Republican. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.680 And that will be really the first time we see 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.039 a race like that in a statewide race in a 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.320 purple state. So I think the twenty sixth race for 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.760 Michigan Senate and all of a sudden got really interested. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.800 Yeah, And I mean, this is what's interesting. So you 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.560 talk about electioneering, we know the Democrats do this stuff. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.920 We know they play games, They packed you know, these 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.840 mail ins and these all of this stuff. So he 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:30.359 lost early city vote by fifty points, like that doesn't 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.840 make any sense. Usually the more progressive candidate wins it. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.520 This tells me that establishment Dems, especially in some of 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.800 these black urban cores, they didn't like Elsi ed and 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.400 they were working against him, doing all the Shenanigans that 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.960 we are now so accustomed to. Mark, am I wrong here? 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.400 No, you're one hundred percent right. And again like there's 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.320 an aspect of this that we'll just never know. Looking 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.200 for instance, at the Emerson crossed tabs and polling's not perfect, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.680 and the the sub samples excuse my dog for black 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.200 vote is probably small in his big margins, Bear, but 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.479 their poll had Stevens winning by forty among black voters. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.240 And then you look at inner city, you know, districts 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.560 in Detroit, and it's like, okay, they're coming in fifty, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.120 they're coming in higher than that in some places. Probably 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.920 you have Cliburne that was shilling for the establishment candidate 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.920 probably out there, Like knows how some of these electioneering 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.680 rackets work. I'm not accusing anybody anything. So I think 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.360 it's pretty clear like what probably happened. And we're seeing 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.200 these kinds of things in other races too, where a 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.240 lot of money gets poured in to help shore up 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.960 an establishment candidate or ensure that they win. Yeah, and again, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.360 like you know, Sayad's crazy, Like yes, we should not 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.480 defund the police, right, Like obviously he's crazy. But the 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.360 problem that the Republicans have to wrestle with is that 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.240 he's going to moderate and he's not going to run 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.160 on that stuff, and he's going to run like mom Donnie, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.080 which is just like, hey, let me give you a 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.600 big economic hub. I'm here to help save you and 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.120 fix things. And it's bad for the youth. That's going 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:04.960 to appeal to people. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.600 Well, I want to ask a speculative question mark, which 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.040 is there was also there weren't super competitive Republican races, 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.760 so their turnout was lower. But they had a primary 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.640 for District eight, that's the Flint area, and there was 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.160 a candidate who dropped out, had stopped campaigning, Thomas Smith, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.720 and he actually defeated pretty easily, like seventeen points here 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.720 Amir Hassan, who was the endorsed candidate by President Trump. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.320 And so I guess it's worth asking do you think 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.280 this is some sort of name factor where people are 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.760 getting spooked by these more Islamic sounding names and could 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.640 that end up playing a role in the general election 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.840 where we have Mike Rogers super generic, you know, English 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.600 sounding name versus Abdul Al said, So. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.160 I'm going to try and provide what I think are 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.000 like the core you know, logic that applies to all 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.560 all these races when we look at them is that 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.079 you have your firm, straight ticket Republican base voter and 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.440 you have your firm straight ticket Republican Democrat voter. They're 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.719 kind of two different people. The Democrat just wants to win. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.320 They don't really care so much about the candidate. The 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.160 Republican would like to see the Republican do something. And 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.439 because of that, and because traditionally Republicans don't do as much, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.360 there are less of those people. There are less of 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.920 the core. We know this, like we saw this nationwide electorally. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.120 But what there are is this surge volume of people 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.080 who are a lot more malleable and less ideological, and 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.240 they don't care about things as much like the muslimsky. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.040 It's going to turn them off. So if you're going 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.119 with those people, you have to have a strategy. 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.240 All right, Mark, I want to get into two things now, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.680 and that is the c SPAN caller is this This 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.960 clip is just gold and I have to play it 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.080 because I think there's lessons for the Republican side on 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.120 this as well. And then I want to talk about 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.280 how brutal this primary was. And you already got Hassan 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.640 Piker saying we're not gonna mend fences. These guys were 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.000 calling him a terrorist and all this stuff. So there's 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.120 I think some opportunity to exploit that. Let's go ahead 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.240 and start with this. Sod eleven. This is c SPAN 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.040 College's nineteen years old call her named Brooks. Play eleven Brooks. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.200 Did you vote today? 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:18.680 Yes? 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.440 I voted today. I voted for Abdul Alsai. I like 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.880 a lot of his policies, Medicare for all. But what 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.520 really convinced me is I've seen Hailey Stevens talk far 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.319 more passionately about her support for Israel than anything she 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.960 has for Michigan. So I feel voting for her would 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.800 leave blood on my hands and I can't do that. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.160 And how old are you, Brooks? 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.000 I'm nineteen. It was my first election, very excited to 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:48.760 vote for abdul al said. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.680 So, I guess the question is Mark, and I know 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.000 that you and Rich and some others have basically been saying, hey, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.600 this a pac money has become toxic. Whether it's right 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.400 or wrong, whether it's justified or not. You know a 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.640 lot of people think of it, think of it as lobbying, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.640 for a foreign country. We have to correct the record 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.199 that these are Jewish Americans, right, But they are interested 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.800 in Israel. So it's maybe it's a distinction without a 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.640 difference on some levels. But how prevalent is this when 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.920 you're polling, especially gen Z, anybody under forty or maybe 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.760 even fifty, And how much does this bleed into how 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.920 Mike Rogers should message on this topic. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:32.000 Well, that's a lot to answer. First off, you're not 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.720 going to see people put foreign policy very high on 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.760 their list of interests when they go to vote. It's 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.040 just not It's like six seventh or eighth whenever you 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.240 stack rank these things. But Israel is an issue, and 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.240 I would really bring up two issues. There's capitalism versus 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.120 socialism and Israel. And the reason that these young people 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.400 are going towards you know, candidates like this is because 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.400 they think that older people are too focused on Israel, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.520 and they think that people aren't focused on their economic 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.319 lively and that's the big one. So overwhelmingly, economy's the 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.040 number one issue the young voters. I could just rattle 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.280 off a ton of polling about how they think the 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.360 entire system is cooked against them, and what's really wild 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.800 is that most under forty voters, including Trump voters, people 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.959 that voted for Trump, overwhelmingly support things that sound really socialist, 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.199 like nationalizing industries or confiscating excess wealth. These are people 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.960 who call themselves conservatives. I think it was over fifty 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.920 percent of under forty Trump voters in one of our 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.720 polls said that they would actually vote for a socialist candidate. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.600 So the problem is an optics and messaging problem for 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.559 the right, okay, And things, in my opinion that aren't 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.199 going to work are putting is real first, or accusing 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.960 other people of being a socialist. Young people don't really 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.160 aren't scared by that. And even I don't think the 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.679 xenophobia stuff like we talked about before the break is 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.400 going to be very effective because I think these people 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.080 want to be put first and are expecting authenticity and 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.920 quite frankly, the maturity to get into government and sort 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.480 of like deliver on what you promised and what that 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.520 needs to be if you want to capture the under Really, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.600 it's the under fifty voter now, in my opinion, is 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.560 national economic populism. And I said this message to Trump 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.120 last fall, and I wish there had been more listening 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.360 and maybe now it's too late. I don't know. But 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.120 what you need to give these people is something to 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.520 vote for a reason that Republicans long term will fix 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.720 the problems that are structurally affecting young people in America. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.080 And that means providing some kind of meaningful alternative to socialism. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.880 And it ain't just more of the same, like Granddaddy's 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.520 capitalism is not going to win. It might win for 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.520 a little longer, as long as you keep dumping advertising 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.040 into the boomer linear television slots. But there's going to 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.200 be a tipping point, and the young people aren't going 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.280 to be fighting the same right left battle that the older, 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.000 more ideological generations are. It's going to be over putting 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.360 themselves first and getting what they want. And unfortunately for Israel, 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.200 they made themselves a pretty big whipping boy over this. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.199 And I tried to say this was going to be 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.160 a problem. But and my advice for Trump wasn't like, 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.360 don't do the Iran strike. It's make sure that you 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.240 show people that you're still putting their economic situation first 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.040 despite whatever else you do. And they would let him 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.560 get away with whatever. I mean, nobody really cared about Venezuela. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.080 We were in and out and we were still focused on, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.840 you know, the economy and the domestic policy agenda. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.960 Yeah, and listen, I think this what everything you're saying, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.920 I basically, you know, I think there's really well articulated there, 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.440 and none of this should be interpreted as anti Israel 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.120 or anti Semitic. No, I think we you know it 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.760 bears repeating. We think that stuff is brain rot and 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.200 it's garbage from the pit of hell. But when we're 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.280 talking about pure politics, it's important to understand what young 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.720 people are hearing, how they're interpreting it, and what they're 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:56.120 voting on. And your message here, I totally agree, is economy, economy, economy, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.760 What are my felt realities? And we could tell people 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.440 they have to cook their own burritos and they need 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.280 to cook from home all they want, But at the 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.760 end of the day, things are expensive, and that's not 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.720 necessarily Trump's fault. I think he deserves a lot of 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.160 credit for bringing inflation back down, especially when you're navigating 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.520 the complexities of the Iran war. But the felt, the 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.360 felt situation for many young people especially is that we 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.120 just are not getting what we hoped we would get. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.080 And maybe those expectations were unrealistic, but that is a 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.600 lived experience and that has political ramifications. So we just 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.880 need a message on it. We need we need big 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:36.000 national messaging pr battles on this front about what we're 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.520 doing to address the problems domestically. Okay, I've only got 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.040 I've only got a few seconds here, so I want 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.280 to hit this last point. There is carnage after this 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.080 primary mark on the Democrat side, and I think we 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.960 need to take a note of it. Here's a Hassan 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.440 Piker talking about mending bridges. He doesn't like it. It's 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.720 not six like everyone being like Abdullah's a ton of 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.360 work to do mending bridges. Here's the take nuke for you. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:15:59.840 Okay, you are. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:07.000 All unbelievably islamophobic pieces. Okay, so we're not getting conciliatory 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:12.080 messaging from the chief LSI ED pusher, Hassan Piker. Here, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.680 what can Republicans do to exploit this mark one minute? 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.320 No, I think they can learn from the situation that 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.760 what you're seeing is playing out on both the right 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.840 and the left right now. There are people, intractable people 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.720 in both sides who are fighting over basically Israel and 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.880 the economy. And when I say the economy, it's not 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.280 just prices, it's the idea that the entire economic system 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.640 is cooked against the younger people. This happened before binding inflation. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.080 Remember Bernie Sanders is doing very well with young people 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.520 long before the inflation was a problem. So what we 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.000 have is an issue where the workers aren't being represented. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.080 There's too much globalism, financialization and rent seeking have ruined everything. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.360 And right now again, I think that's the biggest opportunity 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.360 because it was a natural extension of Trump's platform, which 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.080 is to realize we have to change the way the 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.560 economy works for people in this country. You can laugh 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.680 at his ham piker. I don't know how like effective 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.240 it's going to be, but we have the same people 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.359 that are trying to purify through subtraction, which is a 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.159 term me and Rich both came up with. It's not 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.080 an effective strategy to build a coalition. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.159 Mark Mitchell, great stuff, head polster at the Honest Polling Company. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.640 Thank you, my friend.

You are, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.359 mister Sharia, you are fighting it at every turn. We 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.520 now have an Abdul lsa Ed who is the Democrat 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.280 primary winner in Michigan. He's a man of Egyptian descent. 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.000 He spent his summers in Egypt. He talked about that 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.240 last night, and he's a radical communist and he's gonna 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.920 be the Democrat standard bar in that state up against 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:22.560 Mike Rogers. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.840 Your take, sir, The enemy is inside the gate and 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.760 they're coming hard. And unfortunately, our education system has pushed 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.840 a lot of our younger kids. And then of course 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.800 we have Democrats that are actually democrats, but there are followers, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.000 they're not leaders, and they're following this socialist communists agenda 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.720 to a t and we're fighting it every day here, 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.280 but we don't have enough fighters on our side, on 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.520 the Republican side, you know, we we think everything's gonna 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.960 run on autopilot and it's gonna be okay. If we 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.720 don't straighten out this country's voting, if we don't straighten 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.720 out this country's immigration system, we're not gonna make it. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.080 It's gonna be over with. And as you said, I'm 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.520 gonna go back to Alabia. Hey, we might build a 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.800 thirty foot wall around our state because I know what's coming. 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.160 I can see it coming, I can hear it coming. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.040 I can you know, you can just smell it out 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.880 there that they want to take this country over and 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:16.560 they're not. You know, they're a lot more aggressive than 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:17.679 we are as Americans. 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.320 Yeah, I think that's right. So this is this is 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:26.640 Abdul lsa Ed talking about his American experience SOT four. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.639 I know what America gave me. 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.600 I spend summers in Egypt. 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:38.640 I got my medical education paid for by the NIH 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:44.680 and at the same time, growing up just fifteen minutes 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.440 away from me, children whose families had been here far 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.200 longer than mine, who never got those same opportunities. 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.640 So he's talking about economics, he's talking about medicare for all, 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:00.440 he's talking about making things more affordable. This is their messaging, 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:02.600 but it's all going to lead to disaster. It's been 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.880 tried time and time again. But there's a couple issues. Senator. 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.560 We have economic illiteracy with so many young people. It's 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.200 just a fact. I mean, I've talked to them. These 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:14.639 are good kids, they're good patriots, they love their country. 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.719 They just don't they don't understand. I'll never forget. We 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.800 were doing a round table for our chapter leadership summit, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.320 and one of the girls around the table, Senator said 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:28.280 that maybe a solution was increasing the minimum wage, as 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.800 if that would have any practical impact on anything other 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.360 than making things more expensive. But this is a problem 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.359 because this message is rosy, and I'm worried that we 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.840 are not, as Republicans countering it with a positive vision 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.760
