Speaker 1: Ready to break the narrative, get the real story with
Speaker 1: no filters and no apologies, cut through the noise, with
Speaker 1: real conversation, real conviction, and real news. It's time for
Speaker 1: truth without spin. It's the Alex Marlowe Show.
Speaker 2: It is The Alex marlow Show. And I'm live today
Speaker 2: from Washington, DC ahead of my event with Howard Lutnik tomorrow,
Speaker 2: the Commerce Secretary. We'll I'll be sitting down with him
Speaker 2: and I brought John Carney along and I will turn
Speaker 2: that into a podcast for you guys later in the week.
Speaker 2: But it's basically the goal is to get the guy
Speaker 2: who's in charge of Donald Trump's trade agenda to walk
Speaker 2: through the trade agenda, how it's going, any complications, anything
Speaker 2: else that might be of note. But I'll tell you
Speaker 2: he's in the news right now because of all the
Speaker 2: latest Epstein revelations. The Democrats keep insisting is so much
Speaker 2: more important than anything else in this country, and we
Speaker 2: start to understand why Donald Trump wasn't so quick to
Speaker 2: release some of these files, and it is for the
Speaker 2: best of all possible reasons. The big breaking news today
Speaker 2: is that Trump reportedly called the police on disgusting Epstein
Speaker 2: in two thousand and six, and he decried Julayne Maxwell
Speaker 2: as evil. So if you want to know why Donald
Speaker 2: Trump was not eager, not excited to release all the
Speaker 2: Epstein files, well, our answer is that his friend's names
Speaker 2: come up over and over again, and not all of
Speaker 2: them did anything all that bad. So here's where Lutnik
Speaker 2: fits in. And this will no doubt come up in
Speaker 2: our event tomorrow, which is lamentable because he'll just waste
Speaker 2: time they could be spent the more interesting things. But
Speaker 2: he had told a story on podcasts and interviews in
Speaker 2: the past that he was literally next door neighbors to Epstein.
Speaker 2: They actually shared a wall in New York City, and
Speaker 2: Epstein invites him over and says, hey, we should we
Speaker 2: should hang out, and apparently in Epstein's dining room waiting
Speaker 2: for them when he came over, and he was with
Speaker 2: his wife I guess at the time was a massage
Speaker 2: table and candles were lit out and Latnix says, this
Speaker 2: freaked me out. I said, this is gross. I took off.
Speaker 2: I never talked to him again. So, as it turns out,
Speaker 2: from the latest drop of files, there's all these emails
Speaker 2: going back and forth about sort of nonsense about various
Speaker 2: matters from are we going to travel? Where should we
Speaker 2: travel someplace? Is there a business opportunity here and there?
Speaker 2: And all that looks kind of improper when you're dealing
Speaker 2: with a guy like Epstein. But there's no evidence of
Speaker 2: any crimes, there's no evidence of any widespread wrongdoing. But
Speaker 2: that hasn't stopped Democrats for calling for him to resign.
Speaker 2: So this is a guy who had Canter Fitzgerald, which was,
Speaker 2: you know, one of the biggest financial companies in the world.
Speaker 2: They have five floors in the World Trade Center, five
Speaker 2: floors in the World Trade Center. Two thirds of their
Speaker 2: employees incinerated in the nine to eleven terror attacks. And
Speaker 2: what he did is he took money out of the company.
Speaker 2: He took out of other people's payroll, and none of
Speaker 2: the families miss paychecks, all of the widows got paid,
Speaker 2: all of them kept equity, and they all made tons
Speaker 2: and tons of money, include Lutnik, who's got like three
Speaker 2: billions of dollars. I mean, it's truly superhero stuff. So
Speaker 2: he goes on, he leads Trump's transition with Remember Chris
Speaker 2: Christie was in, but Chris Christy was cutting deals with
Speaker 2: everyone in twenty sixteen went terrible. So in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: Trump didn't want need that drama, so he picks Lt.
Speaker 2: Niki those, a former Democrat who was his friend and
Speaker 2: he thought he could trust him, and they put together
Speaker 2: the greatest cabinet of all time. So this is all
Speaker 2: the stuff I want to talk about. And then he
Speaker 2: gets the job as Commerce Secretary. Of how that's going.
Speaker 2: He's a former Democrat. I don't think I agree with
Speaker 2: him on everything politically, which could be interesting, you know,
Speaker 2: but maybe I have some open minded discussion more on
Speaker 2: that later in the show, on how the right is
Speaker 2: the only place for you can have open minded discussion.
Speaker 2: So this objectively interesting person lost both of his parents
Speaker 2: to cancer when they were young, has four children. They
Speaker 2: seem to be impressive children, but he's got He did
Speaker 2: say in the podcast he only interacted with Epstein one time.
Speaker 2: It may have been more than one time, and just
Speaker 2: because of that, boom calls or resign come in. Even
Speaker 2: though everyone is not particularly honest in this town, you
Speaker 2: are Pollyanna if you think everyone is. And so that's
Speaker 2: the nature of this latest Epstein drop. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: I think we learned a lot about Donald Trump, which
Speaker 2: is that what he was doing was he was protecting
Speaker 2: I think people in his life who he knew were
Speaker 2: going to get dragged through mud. They're gonna have their
Speaker 2: names tarnished over what who knows. Elon Musk's name comes up,
Speaker 2: a Musk is denied visiting the island, of course, with
Speaker 2: people like Bill Clinton, Richard Branson, Peter Mandelsson from the UK,
Speaker 2: who is in a world of hurt and he's very
Speaker 2: locked in with the Democrat establishment and not the Democrat
Speaker 2: the liberal establishment there, the left, the censorious class has
Speaker 2: tried to stifle and shut down Bright Part News, so
Speaker 2: all of these international ties. But what I'm seeing here
Speaker 2: in these files is, first of all Epstein's a perv
Speaker 2: disgusting person, but he was probably engaged in that shadow
Speaker 2: diplomacy that we talked about with Mike Ben's on my
Speaker 2: podcast last year, and I will have bet bens on
Speaker 2: so that again, you gotta subscribe to our podcast feeds.
Speaker 2: It's very funks many commercials. It's very nice to have
Speaker 2: that for audio, YouTube, rumble, all that stuff. But we
Speaker 2: were talking about Larry Summers, the Harvard professor who is
Speaker 2: probably engaging in international diplomacy with Epstein, and that explains
Speaker 2: why so many of the national security stuff is redacted.
Speaker 2: And that's really the more interesting thing here. It's not
Speaker 2: that someone try to go have a beach vacation with
Speaker 2: their family and then have them cancel it or have
Speaker 2: it shut it down when they realize Epstein's a greep.
Speaker 2: So we're losing the forest for the trees. But why
Speaker 2: are we doing that? Because this is what people prefer
Speaker 2: to talk about, because Trump's agenda is going pretty strong,
Speaker 2: a lot of good news coming. We'll get a jobs report,
Speaker 2: by the way, tomorrow. I always enjoyed the jobs reports.
Speaker 2: You never have a jobs report Wednesday, but do government shutdowns.
Speaker 2: We're going to get that. In recall that we're going
Speaker 2: up against the lamest crop of losers that you've ever
Speaker 2: heard in your life. Let me give you an example
Speaker 2: of one of them. One of my favorites on the show,
Speaker 2: This is jazz min Crockett Cut four. Please with a
Speaker 2: vox dot Com podcast play this one.
Speaker 3: I've always been someone who has been intellectual. I was
Speaker 3: top ten percent of my class at Texas Southern my
Speaker 3: first year in law school. I was always very much
Speaker 3: kind of digging in and wanted to understand. I was
Speaker 3: always the person that would bring the receipts and wouldn't back.
Speaker 4: Down, so, you know, always clapping back.
Speaker 3: I was I was always I was always Yeah, there
Speaker 3: was always a pushback. If I feel like I am
Speaker 3: right on something, I've always been very clear about that.
Speaker 2: All right, So she's an intellectual, so that's there. Hey, look,
Speaker 2: let's take her at a word, guysman Crocket's intellectual. She
Speaker 2: is the intellectual Democrats sign she is their biggest brain.
Speaker 2: So that's the clip that's getting passed around a lot
Speaker 2: from this interview. But I think there's a better clip.
Speaker 2: I think there's a better clip, and it's related to Epstein.
Speaker 2: Let's play cut three, please.
Speaker 5: But when I see the moment on the house where
Speaker 5: you seem to accuse Republican Lezeld and I'm taking money
Speaker 5: from Jeffrey Epstein, But it seemed like if it was
Speaker 5: not the same person, I wonder like, is there times
Speaker 5: in which the veeteric goes too far? There are times
Speaker 5: in which you should say, you know, maybe I messed.
Speaker 4: That one up. No, not in this environment.
Speaker 3: I don't I think that, you know, we are really
Speaker 3: in uncharted territory.
Speaker 5: So I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency
Speaker 5: necessary and so that's why you won't give an it correct.
Speaker 2: So when people like me and people like my colleague
Speaker 2: Dennis Prager point out that truth is not a left
Speaker 2: wing value, I want you to share this quote. So
Speaker 2: Crockett says she knows she lied, she knows who was
Speaker 2: dishonest when she said about Leez Elden. She said, to
Speaker 2: Leez Elden, are epa administrator, took money from Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: She took money from a Jeffrey Epstein that was a
Speaker 2: doctor or I think it was like a dentist or
Speaker 2: something in Florida. Nothing to do with the Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: She presents this in the Congress, reads it in the
Speaker 2: Congressional record as if this is some sort of an
Speaker 2: accurate thing. It's not. And then when she gets called
Speaker 2: on it, she never fully backs off of it. And
Speaker 2: why was it? Because I gotta play a game. I've
Speaker 2: play one more time. I want to hear the exact
Speaker 2: verbiage from the Vox reporter, play one more time.
Speaker 5: But now when I see the moment on the house
Speaker 5: where you seem to accuse Republican and Leeds Elden. I'm
Speaker 5: taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, but it seemed like if
Speaker 5: it was not the same person. I wonder like, is
Speaker 5: there times in which the veteric goes too far? There
Speaker 5: are times in which you should say, you know, maybe
Speaker 5: I messed that one up.
Speaker 4: No, not in this environment. I don't. I think that
Speaker 4: you know, we are really in uncharted territory.
Speaker 5: So I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency necessary,
Speaker 5: and so that's why you won't give an inch.
Speaker 2: Correct, all right, affecting the urgency necessary. So that's why
Speaker 2: you won't give an inch. Because Lee's Eldon who is
Speaker 2: trying to get all the fat out of the EPA,
Speaker 2: try to make it so that people can actually operate
Speaker 2: businesses in this country without over regulate environmental stuff, trying
Speaker 2: to help the people in Los Angeles in California actually
Speaker 2: rebuild after their fires, which has been a huge curflaw
Speaker 2: for the EPA in particular, all of this stuff that
Speaker 2: he's trying to do, he should get smeared if someone's
Speaker 2: taking money from a convicted sex predator and known international criminal,
Speaker 2: because why the urgency truth is not a left wing value.
Speaker 2: They don't care about truth. Of course, they're not intellectual.
Speaker 2: All they're trying to do is lie in, smear and
Speaker 2: beat us. So we cannot fall for the trap. That's
Speaker 2: where we cannot cave. We cannot give in to their nonsense.
Speaker 2: We ever, we can over the next the rest of
Speaker 2: the year, as we head towards the midterm, doing everything
Speaker 2: we can in our power to be able to put
Speaker 2: forward a offensive narrative where we are talking about the
Speaker 2: things we want to be talking about and not playing
Speaker 2: too much defense. Ironically, start the show semi defensive today,
Speaker 2: but I think the offensive point for the day, the
Speaker 2: offensive point for the opening. Trump reportedly called the police
Speaker 2: on disgusting Epstein in twenty sixteen, called Julai Maxwell evil boom.
Speaker 2: Tell that to all your friends, We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: I have the pleasure of getting a chance of a
Speaker 2: conversation with Tom Kerber, who is the CEO of Sudden
Speaker 2: Power Led and he's been on the front line of
Speaker 2: using red light technology to try to cure people their
Speaker 2: aches and pains for eighteen years. He's been working on
Speaker 2: this stuff. We've all heard red light therapy is in vogue,
Speaker 2: and one of my family members is asking for a
Speaker 2: red light mask for Christmas. He's got the red light
Speaker 2: near infrared light therapy because he's been working on and
Speaker 2: patenting it for a long time, eighteen years in total.
Speaker 2: This is an alternative to big pharma. This is an
Speaker 2: alternative to lots of time at the doctor's office. All
Speaker 2: he's trying to do is pump energy into sales with
Speaker 2: products that are made in America whenever possible, in order
Speaker 2: try to make you feel a little bit better. I've
Speaker 2: been using it on my knee, which has been a
Speaker 2: little bit sore lately. I throw it on my back,
Speaker 2: get the dad backgone leading in the crib, over and
Speaker 2: over again. It's been very helpful. You get relief right away.
Speaker 2: Amazing product. The super Palm ten fifty is the handheld
Speaker 2: device heats up fast. Sessions are very short. That's what
Speaker 2: I've been using the I have a whole family of devices.
Speaker 2: I know one of you in my audience bought one
Speaker 2: of their helmets that they use to reduce inflammation on
Speaker 2: the brain. So by all means, explore the space when
Speaker 2: you go over to some power led dot com. But
Speaker 2: you should go there. Promo code Marlow gets you ten
Speaker 2: percent off, So please type that in save yourself some
Speaker 2: money and then the show gets a little bit of credit.
Speaker 2: But the super Palm ten fifty is a terrific product,
Speaker 2: and I think you all should give it a shot
Speaker 2: to this holiday season. So we had a historic opportunity
Speaker 2: here on the fact that we're coming up on a
Speaker 2: election cycle where the Democrats still are without leaders, and
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any that are going to emerge
Speaker 2: anytime soon unless they think really creatively. One of the
Speaker 2: people that people have an eye on is Kentucky Democrat
Speaker 2: Andy Basheer, who is a blue blue Democrat or who
Speaker 2: is a governor of a red state. But I don't
Speaker 2: think he's quite as impressive as a lot of people
Speaker 2: want him to be. Here he is on the view
Speaker 2: let's get a listen to his take on trans kids
Speaker 2: cut to But.
Speaker 6: We rarely talk about the why. People want to know
Speaker 6: what drives us, especially in a world with social media
Speaker 6: where everyone's looking for the next authentic thing. For me,
Speaker 6: that's my faith. Most of the decisions I make are
Speaker 6: based on that Golden rule that says we love our
Speaker 6: neighbor as ourself, and that parable the good Samaritan that
Speaker 6: says everyone is our neighbor. And so when I've taken
Speaker 6: actions like vetoing the nastiest piece of anti LGBTQ legislation
Speaker 6: that ever came through my state, I described in those terms.
Speaker 6: I said, my faith teaches me that all children are
Speaker 6: children of God, and I didn't want people picking on
Speaker 6: those kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, picking on those kids. Maybe they can't get chemical
Speaker 2: and surgical mutilations, castrations, etc. And he vetoed that. So
Speaker 2: the entire state legislature was for it, or the vast
Speaker 2: majority of it, the super majority of it, and he
Speaker 2: shuts it down. And why is he shut it down?
Speaker 2: Because he knows that in order to become a to
Speaker 2: win a Democrat primary, you have to pander the far left.
Speaker 2: And that's where our opportunity comes in. So a couple
Speaker 2: other things I want to point out. I want to
Speaker 2: share with you a clip of Abby Phillip, who's a
Speaker 2: CNN host. You guys know my friend Scott's on her
Speaker 2: show quite a bit, and she's reacting to some of
Speaker 2: the conservatives that are outraged that all of these left
Speaker 2: wing athletes are trashing America overseas while they're wearing the red, white,
Speaker 2: and blue. Pretty shocking. I covered this on a podcast
Speaker 2: this week, but I haven't gotten to do it on
Speaker 2: the live show. Let's play cut six. Please.
Speaker 7: Even if these athletes, let's say conservative athletes went abroad
Speaker 7: and they had criticisms for the previous administrations, wouldn't that
Speaker 7: be perfectly fine and correct in this democracy for them
Speaker 7: to be able.
Speaker 6: To legally No one's that they don't have a right
Speaker 6: to do that.
Speaker 7: To be clear, I would say, I'm not sure that
Speaker 7: you would see all that. I think it's a it's
Speaker 7: a uniqueness of the American right right now where anything
Speaker 7: that is contra to their view that is being said,
Speaker 7: whether it's from athletes abroad or athletes at home, becomes
Speaker 7: signs that they should just sit down for a music,
Speaker 7: should sit down and shut up. The people have not
Speaker 7: expressed their opinions. Any of the Democratic presidents of say
Speaker 7: the last thirty years, would not have said a word
Speaker 7: about it.
Speaker 2: Just ask for an example. I don't know why I
Speaker 2: know it on the panel aast for example, side an
Speaker 2: example one conservative going overseas and trashing our country while
Speaker 2: we're in the red, white and blue. It's never done.
Speaker 2: In Factricans, the people who go overseas rarely even express
Speaker 2: their gratefulness compared to how much I hate we get
Speaker 2: at least, but judging by the media coverage, so I
Speaker 2: think many of them are grateful. I think they should
Speaker 2: be more vocal, to be honest, be more vocal about
Speaker 2: I saw an ice clip today. If someone I think
Speaker 2: he's on the ice hockey team, say how much he
Speaker 2: loves his country, it's great, it's very uplifting. But of
Speaker 2: course we would never tolerate it. It doesn't matter who's
Speaker 2: the president. We don't do it. We don't gauge in
Speaker 2: that behavior. And they don't see the difference. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. They don't think truth is a left is
Speaker 2: a value. They don't think that you should not smear
Speaker 2: Lee Zelden is taking money from Epstein, even if he hasn't,
Speaker 2: because it's so urgent. So they think it's so urgent
Speaker 2: to hurt this country that what they've done is that
Speaker 2: they've grafted all their worst qualities on us, which we
Speaker 2: don't have. We do go overseas and trash any American president,
Speaker 2: even left wing ones. They're very confused, though they can
Speaker 2: keep up with their own narrative. I really enjoyed watching
Speaker 2: this clip of Jimmy Kimmel talking about the Bad Bunny
Speaker 2: super Bowl halftime show yesterday. I had a big breakdown
Speaker 2: yesterday show. I thought it was pretty funny. I think
Speaker 2: all of you should catch up on the podcast listen
Speaker 2: to that. We played some of my favorite and least
Speaker 2: favorite ads we went through Bad Bunny's show. Check out
Speaker 2: this clip cut one.
Speaker 8: This week, almost every liberal I know suddenly really into
Speaker 8: Bad Bunny. I mean people I've never heard say the
Speaker 8: words bad or Bunny in their lives, like I can't
Speaker 8: wait for Bad Bunny.
Speaker 9: Oh, what's your.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite Bad Bunny songs?
Speaker 8: I don't know, but I love them.
Speaker 2: I love that one. Here's the thing on me. Did
Speaker 2: I know any of the songs Bad Bunny was singing?
Speaker 8: Absolutely not, never heard even one second of one of them.
Speaker 8: Did I understand any of what he was singing? Yes,
Speaker 8: the word nunka, that was it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that word actually, and so so
Speaker 2: it's a He gets the clip on my show because
Speaker 2: he actually surprised people and making fun of some liberals.
Speaker 2: But this was my favorite clip. This was on CBS
Speaker 2: A someone named Lilia Luciano, who is a guess their
Speaker 2: unofficial Bad Bunny correspondent play cut seven plays.
Speaker 4: There was no mention of ice.
Speaker 10: But for an artist who wouldn't bring his tour to
Speaker 10: the continental US out of fear that his fans would
Speaker 10: be targeted by immigration agents, taking the stage at the
Speaker 10: most watched sporting event in the nation allowed him a
Speaker 10: teaching moment that America encompasses more than the United States.
Speaker 2: So I guess the thought was when we say God
Speaker 2: bless America, we're not just saying God bless the United
Speaker 2: States of America. We really mean God bless Pedaguay, Uruguay,
Speaker 2: and Canada. Shout out to you Sean for that Canada.
Speaker 2: So that clip that I love that was playing yesterday,
Speaker 2: I got a kick out of him just saying we're
Speaker 2: God blessing Canada. With the Super Bowl. Well at CBS
Speaker 2: they were celebrating it, and that's the new CBS, New
Speaker 2: CBS era. All right, we got a repo right back.
Speaker 2: If you're like me and are tired of random stuff
Speaker 2: getting thrown into your supplements like artificial colors and sugars,
Speaker 2: you probably would love to know more about phyto nutrition.
Speaker 2: Phyto nutrients are the naturally occurring plant nutrients found in
Speaker 2: whole foods. They give them their color, taste, and smell.
Speaker 2: At the presence of these three things is a surefire
Speaker 2: sign you're getting real phyto nutrients. Balance of Nature's Whole
Speaker 2: Health System Supplements are a value bundle that includes their
Speaker 2: fruits and veggies and fiber and spice supplements, which gives
Speaker 2: you forty seven ingredients of fruits, vegetables, spices and fibers
Speaker 2: and all of the naturally occurring phyto nutrients that come
Speaker 2: with them. Every single day. Balance of Nature takes produce
Speaker 2: through a specialized vacuum cold process that stabilizes the ingredients.
Speaker 2: They're then powdered and packaged with no binders, fillers, or
Speaker 2: flow agents. So whether you've been on the fence for
Speaker 2: a long time or or first time you're hearing about them,
Speaker 2: I recommend them to you. Go to Balance of Nature
Speaker 2: dot com and order the Whole Health System Supplements as
Speaker 2: a preferred customer today, go to Balance of Nature dot com.
Speaker 2: I would make a stronger recommendation than I made earlier
Speaker 2: that you all check out yesterday's show on the podcast
Speaker 2: feeds right I do my Super Bowl breakdown. The one
Speaker 2: thought I had afterwards or I was talking to Sean
Speaker 2: and the guys after the show, was that Super Bowl
Speaker 2: halftime show was not really a concert. And I noticed
Speaker 2: something that's off putting is they're making basically a super
Speaker 2: long music video, and there's something that feels just a
Speaker 2: little more soulless about that, especially in a moment where
Speaker 2: everyone now sort of loves going to live performances. Has
Speaker 2: never been more popular to go to live things, and
Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons why is because of
Speaker 2: post coronavirus. I think after the coronavirus, people love going out,
Speaker 2: they love getting together, they love being with a group
Speaker 2: of people in person, and I just found out to
Speaker 2: be really interesting. Have they just moved away from that?
Speaker 2: How can they make a cool music video? Obviously more
Speaker 2: people gonna watch it at home, But I don't know.
Speaker 2: When I look back on some of those great performances
Speaker 2: of yestery years, you kind of feel like you wish
Speaker 2: you could have been there, even pretty recently. The reason
Speaker 2: is a few years ago they had that aesthetic, but
Speaker 2: no longer that's gone, that's over. We're a very weird
Speaker 2: moment and you get very strange reactions from the media
Speaker 2: where they act like everyone as Kimball said, everyone's a
Speaker 2: bad Bunny fan all of a sudden, All right, Senator
Speaker 2: Dave McCormick is on the line with me on our
Speaker 2: hotline center. Great for great to have you here. I'm
Speaker 2: glad you are back. We're making a hard pivot here.
Speaker 2: I had a vamp for a minute or two where
Speaker 2: were getting set up on the phone here, So ending
Speaker 2: some bad Bunny commentary and going straight to some of
Speaker 2: that actually matters, which is the Save Act. You're a
Speaker 2: co sponsor of the Save Act. Tell us all about
Speaker 2: it and sticking points pain points where we at on
Speaker 2: this thing, because I know we love it over here,
Speaker 2: but I want details from you.
Speaker 9: Well, listen, thanks for having me on the show. This
Speaker 9: is you know, this is so important. I mean I
Speaker 9: speak with a lot of credibility on this because I'm
Speaker 9: from Pennsylvania, which of course has been the place where
Speaker 9: there's been these super tight contested elections. And in my
Speaker 9: own case, I lost an election by nine hundred votes
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty two, and I won one by a
Speaker 9: fifteen thousand out of seven million votes cast in twenty
Speaker 9: twenty four. So we've got to make sure and we've
Speaker 9: got a lot of people in Testivania that don't believe
Speaker 9: in the integrity of our election and with good reason.
Speaker 9: You know, in my case, there was a videotape during
Speaker 9: the recount of Bucks County commissioner saying, Hey, it doesn't
Speaker 9: matter what the law says, We're going to count those votes.
Speaker 9: So this is a big deal to number one, ensure
Speaker 9: the integrity of our elections and in particular that illegal
Speaker 9: immigrants can't vote, and two to bring back and restore
Speaker 9: confidence in our election process. So the legislation, it's introduced
Speaker 9: by Mike Lee, and the essentially requires proof of citizenship
Speaker 9: to register to vote a voter I d to actually vote.
Speaker 9: And this is the crazy thing here, Alex is this
Speaker 9: is a eighty twenty issue for the American people, and
Speaker 9: yet the Democrats are resisting it. Some Republicans too. I'll
Speaker 9: come back to that in a minute. And this is
Speaker 9: the most basic thing we got to do, and I
Speaker 9: think we're going to get growing support. I'm going to
Speaker 9: give a speech on the Senate floor this week urging
Speaker 9: my colleagues on the Republican side and some Democrats to agree.
Speaker 9: I'm not sure what his vote will be, but my
Speaker 9: fellow Pennsylvania Senator in the last air So it came
Speaker 9: out and said, it seems to common sense that you
Speaker 9: need an ID to vote, just like you need an
Speaker 9: ID to get you pick up a turn back of
Speaker 9: beer or to get on an airplane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're talking Veedervan there. Yeah, and of course,
Speaker 2: and all these you need IDs to go to all
Speaker 2: these events that the left loves, like all their galas
Speaker 2: and all of their fuederating events, and they all check
Speaker 2: ideas just like we all are constantly. Of course, this
Speaker 2: should have been over when they made us have the
Speaker 2: vaccine passports. As I famously have said, Senator, I had
Speaker 2: to use a fake vaccine passport to get into the
Speaker 2: Soho House Malibu. So to do that, and of course
Speaker 2: to be able to vote, you should be able to
Speaker 2: show an ID. And everyone knows this, including Democrats. So
Speaker 2: that's my next question. Obvious one is behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: are some of your Democrat colleagues saying, yeah, I know
Speaker 2: you're right, but I just can't vote for this if
Speaker 2: I only get reelected.
Speaker 9: Well they're not saying that to me, but I think
Speaker 9: that's probably the sentiment among some. And you know, again,
Speaker 9: Fetterman is a rare source of common sense in the
Speaker 9: Democratic Party, and he just calls balls and strikes and
Speaker 9: he's like this, this doesn't make sense. And I think
Speaker 9: the radical wing of the Democrat Party knows that not
Speaker 9: having voter ID, not having to say back is an
Speaker 9: enormous political advantage to them because the bulk of the
Speaker 9: people that they're registering and getting to vote illegally are
Speaker 9: voting Democrat. And these are people that they're letting in
Speaker 9: the last administration. Let somewhere between ten and fifteen million
Speaker 9: illegal immigrants into the country. You know, a small percent
Speaker 9: of those ten vote, it's probably more than that. But
Speaker 9: if they do, that can change the course of American history.
Speaker 9: That's how big a deal this is.
Speaker 2: So let me ask what are the stated what's the
Speaker 2: stated opposition. We know the real opposition is it's harder
Speaker 2: to cheat for Democrats if this goes through. But what
Speaker 2: are they telling you why they can't support it.
Speaker 9: There's two major critiques. One critique is that the Democrats
Speaker 9: mostly make is voter suppression, so this will disadvantage certain groups.
Speaker 9: In particular, they point to women who are divorced and
Speaker 9: took their you know, have keep the name of their
Speaker 9: of their their ex husband, or have their initial citizenship
Speaker 9: under their maiden name, and so then they won't be
Speaker 9: able to register, but they won't be of that proof
Speaker 9: of citizenship, and it'll be a big administrative kerfuffle. And
Speaker 9: that's part of the reason there's provisions in the bill
Speaker 9: to avoid that streamline and have alternate and its sources
Speaker 9: of validation for citizenship. So it's it's it's it's not
Speaker 9: a legitimate argument, but that's one argument. The second argument,
Speaker 9: even some Republicans make is constitutionality, that the that the
Speaker 9: conduct of elections is constitutionally the responsibility of the states.
Speaker 9: This legislation isn't taking away that responsibility. It's just requiring
Speaker 9: the most basic constitutional right constitution vision, which is that
Speaker 9: only citizens can vote. So I think that's also a
Speaker 9: specious argument. It's not an argument that actually holds water.
Speaker 9: But those are the two main arguments that people are
Speaker 9: using against this. You're still air.
Speaker 2: And erroneous new button. Rone's button there. The magic of
Speaker 2: live radio, as senator is real style. And now when
Speaker 2: I can't edit out was the bummer I was.
Speaker 9: Just getting I was just getting started. I was just
Speaker 9: throwing my fastball and then you come here.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's good, it's good. Where we're we're we're no, no,
Speaker 2: you were there, you were perfect. I'm the one who
Speaker 2: is arouneously on mute. I'll be I'll be taking the
Speaker 2: chastisement quarters later. That was left over from when Dennis
Speaker 2: Brager hosted the show. It's they will be a whole
Speaker 2: chastisement facility for Oze. Okay, So but let's talk about
Speaker 2: the the the uh, the political future of the bill.
Speaker 2: What can we do, what can the audience do? How
Speaker 2: can we get this thing into law? Because you say,
Speaker 2: this is an eighty twenty issue and it just seems
Speaker 2: so bleak to be able to get it passed.
Speaker 9: Well, I think the starting point is we've got to
Speaker 9: you know, we've got to get our Republicans' colleagues to
Speaker 9: support this. We gotta we got to have our Senate
Speaker 9: Republican caucus support this. That's not going to give us
Speaker 9: sixty votes. But well, there's about thirty some thirty three,
Speaker 9: thirty four people that have co sponsored it. Now, to
Speaker 9: be clear, to my knowledge, very few people have actually
Speaker 9: come out and opposed it. The one exception today was
Speaker 9: Senat Murkowski from Alaska, and she came out opposing it,
Speaker 9: and she made the argument that we just talked about,
Speaker 9: which is the constitutionality. So I think the first thing is, listen,
Speaker 9: we're gonna have a meeting in a few minutes among
Speaker 9: our caucus. The first thing is what do we as Republicans,
Speaker 9: How can we be resisting this and really try to
Speaker 9: get ourselves together on this. Then I think the second
Speaker 9: step is selectively reach out to those Democrats who are
Speaker 9: more open minded about this. Fetterman looks I won't speak
Speaker 9: for him, but pretty encouraging statement yesterday, and see if
Speaker 9: we can get the kind of support we need. And
Speaker 9: we need to force the Democrats to get on the
Speaker 9: floor of the Senate and get on TV and explain
Speaker 9: basic premise why they wouldn't require proof of citizenship and
Speaker 9: voter ID. I mean, I just can't imagine somebody making
Speaker 9: that argument. And this is where I want. By the way,
Speaker 9: there's like half the Democrats in the Senate or running
Speaker 9: for president. I want to see the Democrats in the
Speaker 9: Senate that are running for president get up on that
Speaker 9: eighty twenty issue and say why so that's I think
Speaker 9: we got to get our House and order on the
Speaker 9: Republican side. Then we got to put the pressure on
Speaker 9: the Democrats and see what their argument's going to be.
Speaker 9: That I think gets us in the position to see
Speaker 9: if we can get this done. If we don't get
Speaker 9: our own house in order and get more than the
Speaker 9: majority of Republicans, then I think it's going to be
Speaker 9: hard for us to be credible. I'm putting the pressure
Speaker 9: on the Democrats now.
Speaker 2: I imagine if you're a good friend who always makes
Speaker 2: great content for us, but ends up disappointing us when
Speaker 2: he goes to vote John Fetterman, if he comes out
Speaker 2: and supports it, that would be so wild.
Speaker 9: Some Republicans are to hold up, that's right, that would
Speaker 9: be portant and listen, you know you raise a fair point.
Speaker 9: I mean Fetterman and I disagree on more things that
Speaker 9: we agree on, but he's taking some tough votes. For example,
Speaker 9: he is he voted consistently every time to keep the
Speaker 9: government open. He got hammered by that. He supported me
Speaker 9: on a fentanyl bill. He's been tough on the border.
Speaker 9: So he's not he's not data the vote Republicans. The
Speaker 9: most of the time. He votes not with us, but
Speaker 9: on some key issues he stood up, and I think
Speaker 9: there's a Again, I don't speak for him, but I'm
Speaker 9: I'm optimistic and hopeful that he'll he'll be a strong
Speaker 9: vote on this one.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got a couple of minutes left. I want
Speaker 2: to do a couple others. Rapid Fire. You're heavily involved
Speaker 2: making sure our ships are getting built and are up
Speaker 2: to date. Can you give us some inside into that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean listen that. Let me just let me
Speaker 9: just say what's going great in Pennsylvania. I got the
Speaker 9: five big The five big stories in twenty twenty five
Speaker 9: were the energy innovation is some it. We did ninety
Speaker 9: two billion dollars of investment, the nip On deal with
Speaker 9: usdel that was twelve billion dollars in investment nationally, four
Speaker 9: billion in the Moon Valley. We had aws. Amazon announced
Speaker 9: a twenty billion dollar data centers in Pennsylvania. We had
Speaker 9: Japan announced they're going to buy eighty five billion dollars
Speaker 9: worth of nuclear reactors built in Pennsylvania. And to your question,
Speaker 9: Hanwa bought the Philadelphia Shipyard and they have announced five
Speaker 9: billion dollars of investment five thousand new jobs. The Philadelphia
Speaker 9: Shipyard is one of the few existing shipyards in the country.
Speaker 9: It's going to go from one ship a year to
Speaker 9: twenty and what we did over the last twenty years,
Speaker 9: Republicans and Democrats, was disgraceful. We lost our shipbuilding capacity.
Speaker 9: We have less than one percent of global shipbuilding in America.
Speaker 9: In the world, rather in America's only one percent. And
Speaker 9: President Trump has said We're going to double down and
Speaker 9: get shipbuilding back to the United States. And this is
Speaker 9: a big part of it. We have these big investment
Speaker 9: from the Koreans. They're one of the best shipbuilders in
Speaker 9: the world, and these are going to be commercial ships
Speaker 9: as well as navy ships. And this is part of
Speaker 9: the industrial rent. This is part of bringing advanced manufacturing
Speaker 9: back to America. Back to Pennsylvania. There's a legislation called
Speaker 9: the Ship the Ships Act that will be coming through
Speaker 9: the Hill. We had put a lot of money in
Speaker 9: the defense budget for shipbuilding, So this is a big deal,
Speaker 9: big for Pennsylvania, big for the country.
Speaker 2: As santaor Dave mccorman from Pennsylvania, I got thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: You've been a big advocate for the Trump accounts. We
Speaker 2: love the Trump accounts. Here tell people how to start
Speaker 2: taking advantage of those.
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, states have to opt into these
Speaker 9: and it's a great opportunity for newborns. One thousand dollars
Speaker 9: in the account. This gets a new person started. This
Speaker 9: is the best way to show people the power of
Speaker 9: investing and to give security to every single American. It's
Speaker 9: a great idea. I hope it goes beyond Trump and
Speaker 9: I'll certainly be a big advocate for it when it does.
Speaker 2: Very nice. It's really nice to catch up. But do
Speaker 2: you come back anytime. We'll take a break and we'll
Speaker 2: be ready.
Speaker 9: Sure, have a great day. Thank you. All right.
Speaker 2: We had a terrific team on the show, led by
Speaker 2: Greg Evan, our executive producer, Sean McConnell, Roger Wicker, Junior,
Speaker 2: Rick Lock, Garrett Charlie, Matt Sybil, Brandon Couples, Mister Callahan,
Speaker 2: John Cassio. Greg Evan once again makes the show possible
Speaker 2: for us. We love that and grateful to have all
Speaker 2: of you. Yeah, I mentioned on I keep trying to
Speaker 2: send you guys with my podcast feed. Subscribe over the
Speaker 2: eric good stuff. My next episode is going to have
Speaker 2: Jeff Fan Drew from New Jersey, who is a Democrat
Speaker 2: who converted for Trump like so many people did, because
Speaker 2: he thought like Trump's messages, and his big kick now
Speaker 2: is taking down wind mills. He thinks they're too many
Speaker 2: windmills out in off the Jersey shore. They're not good looking,
Speaker 2: they're devastating the wildlife. And I look down the news
Speaker 2: today and we got a story, a horrible story. I'm
Speaker 2: in California. It wasn't California, maybe not California. But a
Speaker 2: bald eagle, a bald eagle has been killed another one
Speaker 2: by a windmill. So this is the type of stuff
Speaker 2: that just it makes you sick. A green energy wind
Speaker 2: turbine was in Minnesota. Minnesota. Another snakebit place in this
Speaker 2: country right now. So the wind turbine is like, why
Speaker 2: are we killing a single ball eagle. They're not worth it.
Speaker 2: They are not great for the environment. They're extremely inefficient.
Speaker 2: It's a green vanity thing and they need to stop.
Speaker 2: They're very unsightly. You don't know how to dispose of
Speaker 2: them when they run out of juice. I famously go
Speaker 2: to Palm Springs to visit my parents who live out
Speaker 2: there all the time, and you see these acres and
Speaker 2: acres of fields of windmills, wind farms, and just they
Speaker 2: sit there dormant all the time, I'm concerned there is
Speaker 2: some woke coming back California. There's a trans athlete winning
Speaker 2: a girls track and field competition, So that's another man
Speaker 2: beating girls in sports. And we need to hammer this
Speaker 2: stuff because we're called gavenuson to fixed no problems in California.
Speaker 2: He did not build his high speed rail. He did
Speaker 2: not make the state more affordable. He did not solve
Speaker 2: any of the traffic or the homelessness. He did not
Speaker 2: solve any of the bad airports. He did not prevent
Speaker 2: the state from burning down in a fire, and he
Speaker 2: did not help people rebuild. But he did make it
Speaker 2: so that men could be women in prep sports. And
Speaker 2: someone named ab Hernandez, who attends Jurupa Valley High School,
Speaker 2: set a record a jump of thirty nine feet and
Speaker 2: ten inches in a long jump. So men are setting
Speaker 2: records of women's sports still in this country. And then
Speaker 2: you heard the clip I played earlier in the show
Speaker 2: of Andy Basheer of Kentucky saying that it was disgusting.
Speaker 2: It was one of the nastiest piece of legislation ever
Speaker 2: when the state, mostly run by Republicans, wanted to prevent
Speaker 2: children from being chemically mutilated because of all the trans hysteria.
Speaker 2: So we got to pay attention to their messaging. See
Speaker 2: if their messaging improves. But they're out there with Crockett
Speaker 2: calling herself an intellectual emitting she's lying about Ever doesn't
Speaker 2: care because stage with you. I let's chick in on
Speaker 2: John Ossoff of Georgia. He had a very firm message
Speaker 2: about the mid terms, and I think there's actually some
Speaker 2: truth to this. Play cut eight.
Speaker 11: Please, Georgia voters have the weight of the Republic's future
Speaker 11: on our shoulders. We are just that much more determined
Speaker 11: to do our part to write the ship. This election
Speaker 11: is pivotal. If we do not restore checks and balances
Speaker 11: in these midterm elections, we will not recognize our republic
Speaker 11: at the end of this presidential term. We may lose
Speaker 11: our republic.
Speaker 2: He says it in a calm tone of voice, Unlike
Speaker 2: some of the others, we say we will literally lose
Speaker 2: the Republic. They really have this way of raising the
Speaker 2: stakes at a absurd level. It's completely ridiculous. Of course,
Speaker 2: we're not going to lose the Republic if the Republicans
Speaker 2: maintain the Senate in the House, but that's what they
Speaker 2: frame it up to their audience, and he gets them
Speaker 2: very fired up. They try to get fired up by
Speaker 2: any means necessary. I was looking at the polls in Texas.
Speaker 2: I played the clip earlier Viannibasher using his faith to
Speaker 2: justify transing the kids. Well, last week I played a
Speaker 2: clip of Jasmine Crockett's main competition for the Democrat primary,
Speaker 2: James Tallerico, he uses his faith to justify abortions. Well,
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett is winning that primary in Texas. So we're
Speaker 2: in a scenario where you literally could see a Jasmine
Speaker 2: Crockett candiacy at the highest level in Texas getting that microphone,
Speaker 2: even a bigger platform than she's already had. I think
Speaker 2: that's terrific. I think that works out for us in
Speaker 2: the end. I think it works out for us because
Speaker 2: the more we reveal who the Democrats are. As McCormick
Speaker 2: said that interviewed just now, so important if we're able
Speaker 2: to get the Democrats to say, why do you not
Speaker 2: want to have voter IDs to be able to vote?
Speaker 2: Isn't that in congruous with your insistence that we need
Speaker 2: to have vaccine cards to be able to go to
Speaker 2: basic functions in our community, but you can't cast a
Speaker 2: vote without a photo ID. You think that's much to ask.
Speaker 2: Of course, one of the most racist lies in the
Speaker 2: history of the country that people who are minorities have
Speaker 2: a harder time getting voter ideas. Then the question you
Speaker 2: would ask as a follow up is why not Make
Speaker 2: them explain why not? But they'll never explain it. They
Speaker 2: don't have a real explanation of why not other than
Speaker 2: that they're racist and politically motivated. All they're trying to
Speaker 2: do is make it so that it's easier for them
Speaker 2: to cheat. And we're going up against some people who
Speaker 2: are very fierce in their competition. They're not impressive, they
Speaker 2: don't have great ideas, they don't charismatic people. They're easy
Speaker 2: to make fun of. But I will tell you that
Speaker 2: they know how to raise the stakes and they know
Speaker 2: how to cheat, and you be well aware of that
Speaker 2: and be prepared for what comes next. I'm Alex Marlow.
Speaker 2: This is the Alex Marlow Show. Go in peace, to
Speaker 2: love and serve the Lord.
