<v Speaker 1>and a special welcome to my c Span two audience

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>tuning in this week as we do a one week

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>fill in the middle of summer. This, however, is Break

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the Glass and Pull the Alarm Day. Last night in Florida,

0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a radical Democrat from the Democrats Socialists won the tenant nomination.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Angie Nixon. She raised less than a

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. She won on the strength of the DSAS

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>take over the Democratic Party, and she is a revolutionary one.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Just one small part of her agenda. Cutt number for

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Angie Nixon on Morning Joe with Willie GUIs And what

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>about another national position, which is the free movement of people,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>which the DSA means open borders.

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>They say, that's what that means. Do you support open

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>borders into the United States?

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 3>I support a comprehensive and clear pathway to citizenship for folks.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I believe that border patrol should make sure that they

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 3>are securing the border.

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I believe, though, that there needs to be a.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Clear, comprehensive and compassionate pathway to citizenship, especially for folks

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>like Haitians and Venezuelans and Seerians.

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>That's her most rational statement. The DSA hates the constant

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I played that for you yesterday. Their Central Committee member,

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>playing Robespear, said we hate the Constitution. It is an

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>obstacle in our way to centralize democratic control. Now, I

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>want to run down for you briefly my other life.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>In my other life, I'm a law professor and my

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>first class after taking role in getting to know the

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 1>students is the revolutions they need to know, and we

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>start with revolutions in civil wars. Right, That's what defines

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>big movements. The DSA wants a French Revolution or its derivative,

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the Russian Revolution of nineteen seventeen, of the Chinese Communist

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Revolution of post World War II they went, However, they're

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>truly French revolutionists. That was not the first revolution. The

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>first revolution was the English Civil War that was from

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>sixteen forty two to sixteen forty nine, ended up with

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Charles the First losing his head and a dictator, Oliver Cromwell.

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>The second revolution was the Glorious Revolution of sixteen eighty eight.

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>The king had been restored after the protectorate fell apart

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>because the Englishman did not like having a dictator. James

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Second of England was exiled in the Whig Revolution

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Bloodless Revolution coup run by about ten to fifteen people.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>William of Orange and Queen Mary came over from the

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Lowlands and they became the new monarchy to fight Louis

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the Fourteenth. After the Glorious Revolution came our Revolution, the

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>American Revolution that begins really in seventeen sixty three. And

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>runs all the way to seventeen eighty one. But seventeen

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>seventy six is the declaration of independence. It's the big break.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Chaos followed the end of the war, and we eventually

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>had to restore order via the Constitution Convention in seventeen

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven and its ratification in seventeen eighty nine. It

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>has provided ordered liberty and a pathway forward from that

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>time forward. It had the original sin of slavery in it.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Abraham Lincoln ran for president in eighteen sixty saying, we

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>have to end slavery. We have to do it a

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>constitutional way. We will not take any one rights away

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>from them, but will find a way to end slavery.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The next revolution was the Confederacy's revolution, but I'll come

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to that in a moment. After the American Revolution gathered

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>steam and succeeded in seventeen eighty nine, we have a constitution.

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>The French through a revolution seventeen eighty nine to seventeen

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine. Ten years of hell, ten years of mobocracy,

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>ten years of Robespierre and the guillotine everybody under there. Yeah,

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>they killed Louis the sixteenth Yeah, they killed Marie Antoinette.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>They killed everyone. They killed every aristocrat around. Finally Napoleon

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>rolls in. What happens after you have a French revolution,

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a dictatorship. The next revolution I mentioned is

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the American Confederacy revolts against the United States Constitution. It's

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 1>a long and bloody civil war eighteen sixty one to

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>eighteen sixty five. It is suppressed. The restoration after that

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 1>revolution goes on into nineteen sixty four in the Civil

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Rights Act because of bad decisions by the United States

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court. But we continue to perfect our union. Ours

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is a divided government. Ours is a liberty loving land.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>The DSA hates our constitution because they want a French

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>revolution where they are the power, where they have the

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>central authority, where they get to decide everything. There is

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>no Senate, there is no checks and balances, there is

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>no individual liberty. There is the mass, the community, the dialectic.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>It became from the French Revolution. Lenin picked up Marx

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>translated marks for Russian, imposed it on the poor Russian

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>people in nineteen seventeen, murdered the Czar and his family

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighteen. The Russian Revolution lasted from nineteen seventeen

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>till nineteen ninety one. It was hell on Earth for Russia,

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Soviet Union, for the Soviet Republics, for Eastern Europe,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>ended up in tyranny and despotism. It spread to China.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Mao took it a step further. A lot of the

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>DSA people are Maoists again, one person mau, one person,

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>changing people and exiling them, Struggle sessions everywhere, crazy stuff.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 1>There are a couple other revolutions you gotta know about.

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got a couple in the Islamist world. They've been

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>going on with the Muslim Brotherhood in Sunni Islam and

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 1>with Hominiasm in Shia Islam for the last one hundred years.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>For variety of reasons. They are not what the DSA wants.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>So the DSA makes common cause in the Red Green Revolution.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>But last night, when Angie Nixon won, the Democratic Party

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>reacted two ways, with fear and trembling. Because they do

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>not control their party anymore. They ran Eugene Bidman. He's

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>anti Trump completely. TDS made his bones, betraying Donald Trump,

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>riding him out from the National Security Council, starting impeachment I.

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>He carpetbagged into Florida, raised more than I think fifteen

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>million dollars and expected to walk in over Angie Nixon.

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Angie Nixon beat him like a drum, and she did

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it being a leftist. Let's go back to a couple

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of Angie Nixon and cuts. Here she is on the

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Florida State House. She's a Florida State Rep. She's a

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>lefty crazy dsay or cut number one, screaming with a bullhorn. Yeah,

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that'll work on the that'll work on the United States

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Senate floora Here she is on Rolling Mark and Martin's

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Unfiltered podcast, cut number two.

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>And what that looks like is passing common sense legislation.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Like medicare for all. Healthcare is a right.

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>We should not be allowing people to deny life saving

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>medical procedures or medicine because it's hurting someone's bottom line.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, we need some.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Make that's idiocy, but Medicare for all is a slogan

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>they like. Here she is on with Morning Joe, cut

0:07:58.960 --> 0:07:59.559
<v Speaker 1>number five.

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to ask you where you stand on defunding

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 4>the police, abolishing prisons, and opening up the border again,

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 4>do you support any of those propositions?

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 3>So what I support is making sure that we have

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>law and order in this country, and that starts with

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 3>making sure there's a full release of the Epstein files

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 3>and that we hold people.

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Accountable Epstein files. Got that police law and order means

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Epstein file. Here she is with Jen Saki cut number six.

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 5>Who remember the Democratic Socialists. There are a lot of

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 5>candidates who have won in primaries who are members of

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic Socialists as well.

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 6>You are also running.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 5>Though in a state Florida has as you well know,

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of people are watching though, a large

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 5>population of people who fled countries like Cuba and Venezuela

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 5>who may have a very unfavorable view of the term socialists,

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 5>and they may not know you yet. So how what

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 5>is your message to them? And how are you going

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 5>to appeal to them because you need to win them over.

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 3>To Yeah, so I'm going to continue to work hard

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 3>and go and knock on every door and have conversations

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 3>with people, even if they may not agree with me ideologically.

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I want to be clear, I just recently joined the

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Democratic Socialists of America, but I'm also a union organizer.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm a mother, i am a wife, i am a

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>community organizer, a small business owner, and I'm.

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Going to have actually since she joined the DSA, the

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>DSA hates the American Constitution. She should know that. Last

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>night her victory whoop cut number eight.

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 3>And so I look forward, Ashley Moody, so taking you

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 3>on into whooping you in November, and you will be

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 3>calling me your senator.

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's going to happen, Ashley Moody. Senator.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Ashley Moody was elected twice as Attorney General in Florida.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>She was appointed to fill the ark vacancy created by

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.079
<v Speaker 1>the appointment in Marco Rubio to the United States Secretary

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of State. Ashley Moody, I'll play her clip a little

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>bit later, going right after the fact that this is

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the radicalization of the Democratic Party. You cannot vote for

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 1>one Democrat cycle anywhere up or down the ticket, whether

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it's Angie Nixon in Florida, abdu Elsayed in Michigan, Troy

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Jackson in Maine, James tall Rico in Texas, I'm forgetting

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.479
<v Speaker 1>one of them, Peggy Flannagan in Minnesota. Their Senate candidates

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>have all gone, like their House candidates, to the squad.

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>They are crazy revolutionary, French revolutionary. It is not in

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the American political tradition. We do not believe in violence,

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>We do not believe in destroying the Constitution, at least

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 1>we never have before. And now the Democrats have been

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>taken over by a clique that no longer wants to

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>abide by the Constitution, wants to destroy the Constitution. And

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>they are open and upfront about it. They are candid,

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and I give them credit for that. We'll talk with

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Mike Collins about how John Ossa fits into that in

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Georgia next on The Hugh Hewitt Show. Welcome back to America.

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm Hugh Hewitt, please to welcome Congressman Michael Collins. He

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>is the Republican nominee for Senate in Georgia. And all

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>eyes went to Georgia this week when John Osoff stopped

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>being beige. He's the beige thundator from nowhere who says nothing.

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And this week he took a shot at a friend

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of mine, Natalie Art, and the world came down on

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>his head because it was such a jerk thing to do, mean, spirit, slanderous,

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and he has not yet apologized, he's backed away from it.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Mike Collins, what did you make about that? What

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was he trying to do and do Georgian's cotton to

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, first of all, this I think this is even

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 7>beneath politics, and you know politics has a real low

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 7>bar anyway. But all he's doing is just political theater.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 7>He's just playing to this far left fringe that has

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 7>taken over the Democrat Party and the pattern is very clear.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 7>You can see it out there. This will be the

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.079
<v Speaker 7>DSA candidate for president if they can keep him in

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 7>this uiss And that's why we're out there ringing the

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 7>bell as loud as we can to make sure that

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 7>people across this country see just exactly.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 8>Who this guy is.

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 7>And when you see what he said about Natalie and

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 7>she has nothing to do with this campaign, but yeah,

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 7>it just goes to show how he do moralizes and

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 7>demeans and dehumanizes women.

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Now let's talk a little bit about us off overall,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>he's always had like a lucky life until he came

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>up against you, Mike Collins. He always took on week

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 1>week candidate. You're strong candidate, you got a good war chest.

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>What's your website? By the way, where can people help

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you out? Volunteer in Georgia because we're on all over Georgia.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know who. They could go to, Mike COLLINSGA

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 7>dot com. Look us up, join the convoy. Now, I'm

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 7>in the trucking business, and that's why we call it

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 7>a convoy. Get out there. Help us midterm elections. They

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 7>are all about turnout, and we need help making sure

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 7>that the voters turn out. We do that, we're gonna

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 7>beat this rascal.

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, Mike. Last week yesterday, actually, Patrick Raffini, one of

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the great posters in America, did a thirty year look

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>back at Senate polling and found that in three quarters

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of those polls they are biased towards Democrats, a specially

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in August. So I don't pay any attention to them.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>How does it feel to you? Are the polls capturing

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>your momentum and the closeness of this race? Because John

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>asofs never had a walkover ever.

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know, and he's never had a glove put

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 7>on him. He's never had anybody to go up against him,

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 7>because he didn't have anybody in a primary. We came

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 7>out of a very tough primary, a very tough runoff,

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 7>and then to be down. We were down twelve thirteen

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 7>points during the first poll and now we're only down seven,

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 7>so you know, he's spent ten million dollars on TV

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 7>ads already. And for us to be gaining like we

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 7>are doing, I mean, I think it just shows that

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 7>the people of the state of Georgia are really paying attention.

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 7>Even though it's August. They usually say Septembers when it

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 7>cranks up. But for us to be gaining momentum like

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 7>we are right now, and the national help out there

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 7>is coming in, they're already here, Senate Leadership funds and

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 7>all that they are motivated and ready to get in

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 7>and help us win this thing.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, I think that last night Angie Nixon winning in

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Florida opened a lot of people's eyes to the fact

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat prays, gone nuts. Do you run into Georgia voters,

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>especially in communities of color, that say, this is not

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>what we want a business, we want a chance, we

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>want safe streets, we want a normal America.

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 7>Sure we do. We run into it. It doesn't matter who

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 7>it is. And in our minority coalitions, all of our

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 7>coalitions out there have been going strong, whether it's moms

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 7>from Mike, veterans from Mike, it doesn't matter. Asians, for Mike,

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 7>We just we have a number of coalitions, but everybody,

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 7>you hit the nail on the head, they want the

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 7>same thing. They want. They want a safe environment for

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 7>them and their kids. They want to be able to

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 7>have the opportunities to chase their version of the American dream.

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 7>You know, they want things to be affordable. And when

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 7>you look at the two people that are running in

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 7>this race between me and John Isof, I mean, this

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 7>is probably the most crystal clear race in the country.

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 7>It is the number one race in the country to flip.

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 7>But when you look at us, you don't have to

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 7>take either one of us work for where we stand

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 7>on any issue. Just look at our voting record. You

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 7>can look at our voting record and tell the John

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 7>Osof is responsible for these high prices, for your healthcare

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 7>going sky high, you know, for the borders being wide

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 7>open that allowed these criminals to flood into our country.

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 7>You know, people like Jose Ilbera that murdered Lake and

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 7>Riley right here in my district. He's responsible for that.

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 7>Then when he had the opportunities to change path and

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 7>go with the rest of us to get this taxes

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 7>under control and to put more money back in people's pockets. No,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 7>he was willing to double down and put high taxes

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 7>on top of high prices. And it's because this guy

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 7>is a trust fund kid. He's never had a real job.

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And you just mentioned Lincoln Riley. I got to tell

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the audience at a trail had that I had walked

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>with at Fetching missus Hewett a few times. In McLean, Virginia,

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>near Great Falls, a forty two year old mom was

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>stabbed to death yesterday by the man that's been suspecting

0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the illegal El Salvadorian immigrant who would in custody in

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration at the border and was released into

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the interior of America. Killed a forty two year old

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>mom with a daughter. I don't know anyone trusts a

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Democrat ever again after the collapse at the border for

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the last four years of Joe Biden.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 7>You know you And if you take a look at

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 7>John Ossoff and the and and the way he is

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 7>disparaged women over the course of his career, you can

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 7>go back all the way to lacoln Riley. Now, he

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 7>never helped lift a finger to get that piece of

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 7>legislation moved. Wouldn't wouldn't even say her name. And then

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 7>then when President Trump had Lincoln's mother at the State

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 7>of the Union address and we stood up to give

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 7>her respect, he just sat there. So there is a

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 7>strong pattern of this guy and and just how he

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 7>demoralizes and demeans women in this country. And it's just

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 7>one of a pattern that that that falls in line

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 7>with this DSA movement that is out there. I mean

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 7>not only what he sees, but but how he votes

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 7>is just so in line with this Democrat Socialist of

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 7>American movement. When a guy votes ninety two percent of

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 7>the time with Bernie Sanders, we have a problem here people.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 7>When DSA opens an office in Atlanta, Georgia, and they

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 7>don't have but one candidate down here that they'll push,

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 7>that is John Asoff. When John ASoft goes to Michigan

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:22.200
<v Speaker 7>and puts his support in wait behind this Abdul Lsied,

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 7>the DSA candidate up there, he is not only promoting

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 7>and recruiting those DSA people, He's one of them.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And I believe is what this race is coming down to.

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I think all the Senate races have become one Senate race,

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 1>which is, if you vote for the Democrat, you're voting

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 1>for a radical French revolution kind of burnt all down

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party that I'm seventy years old. I've never seen

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 1>this in my lifetime. Mike Rogers, have.

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 7>You no, you know, you're exactly right, and you take

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 7>you look at there's probably only ten, maybe twelve percent

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 7>of the country that right now that looks at this

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 7>from that standpoint. And that's a huge amount because there

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 7>have been come You can go back and look in

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 7>history at how many countries have been overthrown by less

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 7>than twenty percent of the population.

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.159

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>very good looking man. He's got very good news for

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>us because I have been fretting over the Arizona Best

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Nation's school choice which the teachers unions were

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to kill. Tell us what happened, Jonathan.

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 9>Well, the good guys won one this week, Hugh in

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 9>Arizona where really you and I had talked about this

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 9>a lot. I was out in Arizona this year talking

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 9>with all of our great ALEC members. Arizona's a powerhouse

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 9>ALEC delegation, and the teachers unions have come up short,

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.639
<v Speaker 9>as ruled on by the Arizona Supreme Court confirming that

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 9>the number of signatures did fall short, and significantly so

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 9>of the total needed that they were going to take

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 9>to the fall ballot and make a huge effort to

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.639
<v Speaker 9>try to repeal one of the nation's longest standing and

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 9>most effective education freedom programs, and it would have been

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 9>a travesty to the one hundred thousand plus students that

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 9>have now been able to participate in that program, really

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 9>just being a game changer for so many of those

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 9>students and their families. And so this is something as

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 9>you are very familiar with, ALEC launched and leads the

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 9>Education Freedom Alliance, and back before this was certified for

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 9>the ballot, we released an ad talking about the benefits

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 9>of school choice for Arizona. And I'll tell you what.

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.360
<v Speaker 9>It would have been a massive problem across the country

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 9>if Arizona's program would have gone down this fall. And

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 9>so this is a major victory for Arizona and major

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 9>victory for school choice in our movement across the country.

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, Alex sent me some details that I want to

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>share with the audience, Jonathan. To get an initiative, even

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>a bad initiative, under the ballot, you need two hundred

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and fifty forty nine signatures. The anti school choice gang

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona submitted what they said were four hundred and

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, four hundred fifty four hundred and twenty four

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty one signature. Turns out more than two

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand of those were bad. They were ineligible, they

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>were duplicates, they'd been collected by illegal signature collectors, and

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>they fell at least ten thousand short. And the Arizona

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Supame Court for how can you be that bad at cheating?

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 9>John, Well, that's a great question, and it really does, though,

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 9>make you think that is all the progressive left Hue.

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 9>Their playbook, as you know, is to go across the states,

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 9>try to subvert the democratic process and try to put

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 9>all of these big progressive policies straight on the ballot

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 9>that sound great and yet being horrible policy outcomes. They

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 9>did it through supposed independent, nonpartisan redistricting in Michigan that

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 9>turned out to be one of the most aggressive gerrymanders

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 9>in the country for the progressive left. They do it

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 9>on minimum wage, they do it on Medicaid expansion, and

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 9>so I think this teaches all of us an important

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 9>lesson is conservatives across the country is check those signatures

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.199
<v Speaker 9>and make sure that there's not a whole lot of

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 9>funny business going on, and there clearly was in this

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 9>case in Arizona.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So John then a radical leftist won last night in

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Florida won the Democratic primary. She is a DSA or

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I bring her up because the national debt got the

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 1>forty trillion faster than anyone and all she's talking about

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is Medicare for all. That would be another four to

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 1>five trillion dollars a year and it would ruin healthcare.

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Do they think we're crazy?

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 9>Well, I think they know. Being in Michigan last week,

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 9>I saw the signs for mister Elsaad there, the radical

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 9>leftist that we've talked about on the show before, and

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 9>on his sign was Medicare for all. That was the

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 9>simple message. They think it works politically, They think that

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 9>people don't see through that. I think they're wrong. I

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 9>think Americans are seeing through it. The's so called Affordable

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 9>Care Act under Obama has clearly shown not to be

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 9>the case, and this would take it even to a

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 9>radical new dangerous degree. And to your point view here,

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 9>we are now going to hit forty trillion dollars of

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 9>debt probably this week. This is not something that could

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 9>be sustainable. The problem for Congress, of course, is so

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 9>much of this is done on autopilot, and so the

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 9>efforts from the Trump administration of getting to waste fraud

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 9>abuse through the Task Force on Fraud doctor Oz's efforts.

0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.240
<v Speaker 9>He came to speak, as you know, at the ALEC

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 9>Annual media. The work being done by russ Vote and

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.120
<v Speaker 9>the OMB is all very, very important, but we've got

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 9>to tackle some of these big drivers, and this, of course,

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 9>the Medicare for All proposal would take that in the

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 9>absolute wrong direction in terms of costs.

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>To get there, ALEC is not part of some but

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Republican. To get there, we need sixty two

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 1>sixty three Republican seats. Every Democrat you vote for is

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 1>a DSA or this year, and John knows. In Michigan

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that's a DSA versus a normy Republican race, and in

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Florida it's a radical dsay or versus a Normie. Ashley Moody,

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I think a former ALEC member as well, Jonathan Williams,

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 1>always good to talk. Welcome back to America. I'm Hugh Hewett,

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>joined up by Sarah Bedford of The Washington Examiner. She's

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.880
<v Speaker 1>political investigations that are there, Sarah. I want to run

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>through the midterms with you, but a quick local story

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>for Beltway people like you and me My wife and

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I have hid the Great Falls McLain trail Head a

0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of times. And this morning when I read a

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>forty two year old mother, Carmen potch Puch was murdered

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>by an eighteen year old illegal alien, Alexis Antonios the

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Dios Campos with a blade knot. They worked at the

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 1>same restaurant in cold blood. Doesn't that make your blood

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>run cold?

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.959
<v Speaker 10>It's really terrible. And in this area, I mean, I

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 10>live in Fairfax County, which is Steve Descano's jurisdiction.

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:26.880
<v Speaker 11>He's the Soros backs DA.

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.199
<v Speaker 10>Around here, you just hear story after story of people

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.120
<v Speaker 10>let out of jail who had violent pass who had

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.480
<v Speaker 10>no business being on the streets, and also of illegal

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 10>immigrants who had no business being in the country committing

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 10>crimes around here. I mean, it's really tragic, and the

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 10>most angering part is easily preventable types of crimes.

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I think this may end up being one of the

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>issues that merges into the DSA summer. And now we

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 1>go to the DSA summer. Last night, Angie Nixon defeated

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Eugene Benman despite having raised less than a million dollars.

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Vinman had fifteen million dollar She is a DSA or

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.879
<v Speaker 1>through and through. She's the first statewide DSA. L Saeed

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 1>was Hassan Piker in a different body suit. So DSA

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 1>adjacent the else I had Piker tickets now below forty percent,

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but Peggy Flying and James Tallerrico, Troy Jackson. I'm skipping somebody.

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I suppose it's Chris Pappus in New Hampshire. Democrats have

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>lost control of their party. The DSA is running their party.

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, they have people all over. You had some who

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 10>won in Colorado, some in New York congressional races. And

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 10>the problem for establishment Democrats is that they don't seem

0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 10>to have any answer for what it is that the

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 10>DSA candidates are selling, right, I mean, the DSA candidates

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 10>are catching on because they're focusing primarily on economic issues,

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 10>and even though they do have these crazy leftist social views,

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 10>they're not focused as much on them as as past

0:25:56.720 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 10>progressives have been, like during Peak Woke, and so establishment

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.880
<v Speaker 10>Democrats haven't really come up with a way to talk

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 10>about those same economic issues or offering any kind of

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 10>competing vision. And that's the challenge for Republicans is to

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 10>one expose why those economic proprosals from the DSA candidates

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 10>will never work and have never worked anywhere they've been tried,

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 10>but also have that compelling answer to the economic concerns.

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that they're all got one thing in common?

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 1>They chant Medicare for all. That means single payer, single

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>player is driving one hundred thousand Canadians out of the

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>country on a permanent basis every year. Single payer is

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.919
<v Speaker 1>broken in Great Britain. Obamacare didn't work. It made everything

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>worse twenty years ago. Do you think Medicare for all

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>is a winning pitch to people, especially those who know

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>someone on Medicare and tells them it ain't really great.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.440
<v Speaker 11>Well, the problem is that health care affordability is top

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.080
<v Speaker 11>of mind for a lot of voters.

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 10>I mean DSA candidates who are really harping on Medicare

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 10>for All, which I would argue is probably like one

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 10>of their more sane proposals. They want to dismantle the

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.360
<v Speaker 10>Senate and the Supreme Court in all kinds of other

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 10>US institutions, but health.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:07.959
<v Speaker 11>Care affordability is a really big problem.

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 10>So that goes to the DSA candidates who are able

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 10>to identify what is driving voters and come up with

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 10>these specific answers to the voters. Republicans have to come

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 10>up with something right. And that's the problem with the

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 10>Iran War in the eyes of a lot of Republicans

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 10>is that it kind of distracts them from being able

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 10>to coalesce around some sort of coherent, unifying answer to

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 10>these concerns about healthcare affordability and other issues like that.

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Mike Johnson has made the issue a choice

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 1>election between the Democrats and the Craig left wing Craige

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 1>left wing Democrats and the moderate center right Republicans. That's

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>what he's trying to do. I think the framing is right.

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's leaning into Iran. But I want to go

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>back to the hatred of the United States Constitution. I

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>played a clip a few times this week of the

0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.959
<v Speaker 1>DSA National Committee. I'm not sure if the guy was

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the chair or just one of the five. So we

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.919
<v Speaker 1>hate the Constitution. We got to get rid of the Constitution.

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>That means they're French revolutionary. They believe in centralized national power.

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>That's an anathema to America. Do you think that's changed

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 1>at all.

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 10>I think every time that you see these DSA leaders

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 10>get national exposure on any kind of even friendly podcast.

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 10>It's really embarrassing for them because their ideas are so

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.679
<v Speaker 10>far outside the mainstream and it just sounds like what

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 10>like high college students would be talking about in a

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 10>dormitory late at night. It's just shocking that it's a

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 10>potent political party in today's America. But the more exposure

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 10>their ideas get, I think, the more that normal swing

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 10>voters will reject them. The challenge is not letting the

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 10>DSA members stay focused on the topics that might be

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 10>kind of popular, like Medicare for All that.

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 11>Is obviously catching on.

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 10>It's a reason why these DSA candidates are winning, and

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 10>that mass the far more radical ideology behind it, which

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 10>is dismantling the entire American project.

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 11>And that's what opponents of the DSA, even.

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 10>Other fellow Democrats who are more mainstream, can't lose sight of.

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Will l saeed effect make it radioactive for Flanning in Minnesota,

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Troy Jackson and Maine, John Ossoff in Georgia, Pappas in

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire, because he's below forty percent now in the

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>most recent poll today. That takes some work for a

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Democrat to get below forty percent in Michigan because he's

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>against taxic masculinity in football, he's against the fourth of July.

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It don't the like mackinaw Island and yesterday attracted the

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Woodward Boulevard Dreamer Cruise, dream Cruiser. It's the craziest anti

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Michigan Michigan campaign I've ever seen.

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, Democrats have to be secretly fuming about this guy,

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 10>right because they already had an uphill battle to retake

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 10>the Senate. They needed to hold every seat that they had,

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 10>which includes Michigan, and then they had to pick off

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 10>what four Republicans, and so to be vulnerable in Michigan

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 10>where they.

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 11>Hold the seat right now really complicates the math.

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 10>It might even wipe out their chances of retaking the

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 10>Senate altogether.

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 11>And I mean, for what I'll say, I doesn't really

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 11>seem to.

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 10>Represent any constituency of the Democratic Party that's going to

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 10>help them in twenty twenty eight and beyond to repair

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 10>its brand with normal voters in places like Michigan.

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 11>So it seems like kind of a worst case scenario

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 11>for Democraty.

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 1>It represents Hassan Piker Twitch subscribers, and there aren't enough

0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of them to get to one percent in Michigan. Sarah

<v Speaker 1>Bedford from the Washington Examiner. Follower on Exit, Sarah C. Bedford,

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>reader in the Washington Examiner. Follow me to the next segment,

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and this week we welcome our Sea Span viewers, se

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Span two. I believe I go heavy on candidates. I

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>like to talk to candidates. And the next one is

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 1>a real keeper for this year. Michael Wattley. Michael is

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a Republican nominee in North Carolina. He's on with me

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>monthly because I think he can win. Not a lot

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of Democrats feel worried about this, but they should. Michael,

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 1>You're running against the only quote normal Democrat. Last night,

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Angie Nixon won in Florida and the Democratic Party has

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>fallen to the DSA. What does Roy Cooper say about

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>his party, which had been taken over by French Revolution radicals.

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 12>He's glad to see it. Roy Cooper is a card

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:26.479
<v Speaker 12>carrying member of the radical extreme Democrats. He is going

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 12>to have the exact same voting record if he were

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 12>to get into the Senate as James tall Rico, as

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 12>Abdula l said, and miss Dixon down in Florida. So no,

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 12>this is a guy who has always run on the

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 12>radical side of the Democratic Party, and he's going to

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 12>be very comfortable there if he gets into the Senate. Fortunately,

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 12>North Carolina is not going to vote for the worst

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 12>governor in the history of North Carolina. They're going to

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 12>send a conservative champion up there to Washington, d C.

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 1>So, Michael Whiteley, we've got a new audience. Introduce yourself please,

0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and tell people where they can find out about you.

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 12>Sure so I am. I'm out of North Carolina. Grew

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 12>up in a little tiny town called Blowing Rock, North Carolina,

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:10.520
<v Speaker 12>five hundred and thirty four people, and you know, went

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:13.239
<v Speaker 12>to church, I went to school, and I worked and

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 12>worked all the way through college, worked all the way

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 12>through law school and graduate school. Been married for twenty

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 12>six years, three great kids. Had a chance to work

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 12>for President Bush. Worked as Elizabeth Doles chief of staff.

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 12>And I'm really excited about being a conservative champion for

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 12>North Carolina.

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>You also were the chairman of the Republican National Committee.

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You know that parties have to be big tents. The

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party blew out the flaps, Michael Wattley. They really

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 1>have gone over the left edge. Are voters aware of that?

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>In North Carolina.

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, they're learning it right now. I think you know,

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 12>President Trump carried this state three straight times in twenty sixteen,

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 12>twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four. We've won the Senate

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 12>races here. North Carolina does not want crazy left. They

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 12>don't want crazy extremists like Roy Cooper. You know, this

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.800
<v Speaker 12>is a guy who fought harder for criminals, illegal aliens,

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 12>and men who want to play in girls sports than

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 12>he has the people of North Carolina. He's always wanted

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 12>to raise taxes and send that money to Raleigh. Now

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 12>he wants to spend it, send it up to Washington,

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 12>d C. So you know, we've got a very clear

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:24.960
<v Speaker 12>contrast in this election. I'm going to fight for North Carolina.

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 12>I'm going to fight for common sense values, and Roy

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 12>Cooper is going to fight for radical, extreme liberal ideology.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Roy Cooper and Charlotte have made the news more often

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 1>than any other state for terrible, horrific crimes. But Virginia's

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>catching up this very morning, and a trailhad in McLain

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at the edge of Great Falls, a trail I've walked

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>with my wife forty four years. Many times. An illegal

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>alien murdered a forty two year old mother in cold

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 1>blood in McClain. And you know, Michael Wiley, that's a stunner.

0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 1>It happens on your metro system in Charlotte. Do you

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>think the people have forgotten two years ago or where

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>all these criminals came from? Not at all.

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, the fact is that Roy Cooper had two

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 12>policies that kind of came together horrifically in North Carolina

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 12>exactly one year ago this week. His revolving door that

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.320
<v Speaker 12>he put in place with cashless baled pre try release

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 12>put criminals back on the streets again and again and again.

0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 12>As soon as the paperwork was done, violent criminals were

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 12>put back onto the streets twenty thirty, forty to fifty

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 12>times or more. And then he released over forty two

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:38.280
<v Speaker 12>hundred criminals, hardened criminals out of North Carolina's prisons because

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 12>he didn't want them to get COVID. And among those

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 12>criminals was a guy named de Carlos Brown Junior, who

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 12>was then rearrested and re released thirteen more times before

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 12>he got on a light rail car last year, almost

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 12>one year ago this week, and brutally murdered Arena Zerotska,

0:34:56.800 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 12>a beautiful Ukrainian refugee. It was on cam. It is

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.760
<v Speaker 12>a horrific video, and he murdered her in cold blood,

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 12>and her blood is on Roy Cooper's hands. I wish

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:09.759
<v Speaker 12>that that was the end of the story. But there's

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 12>twenty four other families right now who have empty seats

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 12>at the table every Thanksgiving, every Christmas and every Easter

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 12>going forward because Roy Cooper put those criminals back on

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:22.760
<v Speaker 12>the streets to commit their crimes.

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Now. I don't get to Charlotte often, and I haven't

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>been in a number of years. It used to be

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a fairly relatively safe and sleepy banking center of the South.

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 1>What's happened to it?

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:37.280
<v Speaker 12>Well, Roy Cooper let forty two hundred hardened criminals out.

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 12>Now twenty two hundred of them have since been re arrested.

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:45.280
<v Speaker 12>And fortunately, as soon as Arena was murdered, I called

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 12>on the state legislature to pass legislation to roll back

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 12>Roy Cooper's soft on crime policies.

0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 1>They did.

0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 12>They they voted in Arena's law, and Roy Cooper's protege,

0:35:56.360 --> 0:36:00.400
<v Speaker 12>Governor Josh Stein, who is a Democrat, actually find that

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 12>important legislation to roll back Roy cooper soft on crime policies,

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:08.320
<v Speaker 12>so we're getting it back under control. But Cooper really

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:12.240
<v Speaker 12>did put criminals in charge, whether it's in Charlotte, Raleigh,

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 12>or anywhere else across the state.

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>And I want to remind, especially our national audience or

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I see SPAN audience that don't normally see that. I

0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>want to remind them what happened in western North Carolina

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>with the hurricane, because boy did Roy Cooper drop the

0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:27.120
<v Speaker 1>ball with Joe Biden. Two balls dropped North Carolina still

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 1>paying the price out in the western part of the state.

0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.320
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, you know, Roy Cooper wasn't even in North Carolina

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:36.120
<v Speaker 12>when Hurricane Helene hit us on September twenty seventh of

0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:38.839
<v Speaker 12>twenty twenty four. He was up in New York City

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 12>at a climate change gala ball. He showed up a

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 12>week later, held a press conference, and then completely turned

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 12>his back on the people of North Carolina. He vetoed

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 12>hurricane recovery legislation, and what we saw from Joe Biden

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 12>and FEMA was an absolute disaster. President Trump has asked

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 12>me to help make sure we get federal recovery going

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 12>down here in North caarea. Since he came into office,

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:05.839
<v Speaker 12>ten point seventy five billion dollars in hurricane relief that

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 12>we've brought into western North Carolina. Ninety nine percent of

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 12>the roads, ninety nine percent of the bridges have been rebuilt.

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.920
<v Speaker 12>We've got the water systems. The wastewater drinking systems are

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:17.880
<v Speaker 12>up and running. Towns like Chimney Rock and Lake Lure

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:20.320
<v Speaker 12>are back open for the summer season.

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a miracle.

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 12>Now, we're not ready to declare mission accomplished by any

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:26.919
<v Speaker 12>stretch of the imagination, but there's a lot of work

0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 12>that has gone into this very strong and very resilient

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 12>part of the state since Roy Cooper and Joe Biden

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 12>exited stage left.

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>So last question Michael Watley Yesterday, the very respected pulling

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 1>data gate. Patrick Raffini, he's a PhD, put out a

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>study of thirty years of Senate pulling. It found in

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 1>more than three quarters of the races there are biased

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.760
<v Speaker 1>polls for Democrats, and they are at their most biased

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>in the August of off year election. Meaning whatever poll

0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>is about Roy Cooper and Michael Wattley right now is

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the worst polls that you'll deal with. Do they in

0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>any way cause you to lose hope or energy because

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 1>they're all fake?

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:11.920
<v Speaker 12>No, not at all. I mean we saw in every

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 12>single poll in Tom Tillis's two Senate races, he trailed,

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 12>and yet he won those races. Ted bud Led was

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 12>losing in every single poll and he won his race.

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 12>Richard Burr was losing in every single poll and won

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:26.279
<v Speaker 12>every race. I mean, heck, go all the way back

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.959
<v Speaker 12>to Jesse Helms never let a pole, never lost a race.

0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 12>Right now, the polls show us about four points down.

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 12>Historically you will see about a five to six point

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 12>shift in those poles, as Patrick Graffini talks about. So

0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 12>we feel very good. And I've been to all one

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 12>hundred counties across this state and I have talked to

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 12>people in the mountains, people at the coast, people in

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 12>the cities, people in rural areas, and the one thing

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:51.480
<v Speaker 12>that I consistently hear from everybody, they want a champion.

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:53.839
<v Speaker 12>They want somebody who's going to fight for them. They

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 12>know that Roy Cooper's going to fight for criminals, He's

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 12>going to fight for illegal aliens. He's going to fight

0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 12>for men who want to play in women's sports. I'm

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.320
<v Speaker 12>gonna fight for law enforcement. I'm gonna fight for our families.

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 12>I'm going to fight for our faith. I'm gonna fight

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 12>for every community in North Carolina. That's what the people want,

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 12>That's what they're going to vote for in November.

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And what is the website? Michael Wattley Michael Wadley dot com.

0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Michael, Thank you, I should say, mister chairman,

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>good to see you again. Tach you next month as

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we get a race update every month from Michael Wattley.

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir. Welcome back to America. I'm Hugh Hewett.

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:38.280
<v Speaker 1>United States Senator Jim Tallan, now retired from the Senate,

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Senior Fellow at the Reagan Institute Center for Peace through Strength,

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 1>knows his way around campaigns. He's been listening to the

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric Angie Nixon dsa hardliner Medicare for all. Jim, I'm

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>not sure what they think they're doing, but they're going

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 1>to drive a dagger through the beating heart of the

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>center left Democratic Party by making it the French Revolution Party.

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:05.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I imagine Ashley Moody's pretty happy today. But you know,

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:09.719
<v Speaker 8>you we got to run strong campaigns, and I think

0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 8>it means, among other things, taking on this whole affordability issue.

0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 8>Because you want to talk affordability. You remember what inflation

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 8>was in twenty twenty one, which was Biden's first year.

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 8>You officially it was seven percent. It was actually higher

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 8>than that. They were fudging the numbers. It was six

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.839
<v Speaker 8>and a half percent in twenty twenty three. It never

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.359
<v Speaker 8>got as low in any year under Biden as it

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 8>was in Trump's first year. So if you want to

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:40.359
<v Speaker 8>solve the affordability question, and we got problems with it,

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 8>you don't want to elect the people who made everything

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 8>unaffordable in the first place. And I just you know,

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 8>it's drug.

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Down the campaign GYM. Medicare for All is the only

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>slogan that El said in Michigan, Nixon and Florida, Troy

0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Jackson in Maine, Plan again in Minnesota, tall Ico in Texas,

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Pappas in New Hampshire. That's the only thing they say

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 1>is Medicare for all. It doesn't mean anything other than

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 1>ruining medicare.

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'll tell you why they're saying it. You you

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:19.120
<v Speaker 8>have to understand how politicians think. So they have to

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 8>say something that appeals to this DSA wing now than

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 8>the ones who are dsay, yeah, they want to do that.

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:29.600
<v Speaker 8>The others like pampas. They've got to do that. And

0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 8>this is the only it's only a slogan, This is

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 8>the only one that polls reasonably well well. The reason

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.720
<v Speaker 8>it polls reasonably well is because it hasn't become visible

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:42.080
<v Speaker 8>enough for senior citizens to understand what it means. What

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.400
<v Speaker 8>it means. It's a dagger at the heart of Medicare.

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 8>They're going to defund Medicare, which they've been trying to do.

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 8>Go back and look at Obamacare, how they were going

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:52.000
<v Speaker 8>to pay for the original versions of it. They want

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 8>to defund Medicare and build this new government program they

0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 8>may call it Medicare or not, and dump everybody in it,

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.520
<v Speaker 8>and it'll be a out as affordable. It will be

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 8>less affordable than the Affordable Care Act. So, I mean

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 8>this is I'm on Medicare now you I really don't

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:11.879
<v Speaker 8>want them to destroy Medicare. I mean, you know it's

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.760
<v Speaker 8>Medicare has its problems, but you know it's it's provided

0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 8>pretty good healthcare for tens and tens and tens of

0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 8>millions of people for a long time, and we don't

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 8>want to mess with it. I mean, the basic problem

0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:26.359
<v Speaker 8>they've got you is, if you're going to have a nationalized,

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:30.600
<v Speaker 8>a socialized healthcare system, and even the serious proponents of

0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:33.319
<v Speaker 8>this will admit it, you have to have everybody in

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 8>the system. I mean, it doesn't work otherwise. And that

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 8>means Medicare has got to go. It means private health insurance,

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 8>big company insurance that people like it's got to go.

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:47.400
<v Speaker 8>It means state and federal employee health.

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Care, right care has got to go. Union play you

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.959
<v Speaker 1>have been negotiated around decades have to go. So, Jim,

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you were talking to miss the story on drug prices.

0:42:57.719 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 1>What happened to drug prices?

0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 8>Well, they went down three percent, which is the biggest

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:06.200
<v Speaker 8>drop in drug prices in sixty years. And when I

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 8>saw it, I couldn't believe it. I didn't recall a

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:12.360
<v Speaker 8>single year when I was in office when drug prices

0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 8>went down at all. And this is the result of

0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 8>a very focused effort by the administration. Is a number

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 8>of things they're doing. I'm not an expert on it.

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 8>You can get people on it who are experts, but

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:26.160
<v Speaker 8>part of it is We're no longer going to subsidize

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 8>all the lower drug prices around the country so that

0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 8>our consumers end up paying higher prices pardon me, around

0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 8>the world, so that the Canadians and the others can

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.800
<v Speaker 8>get drugs at lower prices. They're doing a series of things,

0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:44.640
<v Speaker 8>and you this manufacturing boom we've talked about, this is coming.

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:48.840
<v Speaker 8>Productivity is up, investment is up. Real income for families

0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:52.879
<v Speaker 8>is already up by about three thousand dollars. And when

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:54.359
<v Speaker 8>you start what is what?

0:43:55.719 --> 0:44:00.239
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to say, interrupting ran I would

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>run the campaign, and I think Mike Johnson is doing.

0:44:03.239 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a choice between center right Republicans doing free market

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:11.319
<v Speaker 1>solutions and deregulation and left wing radicals who are who

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:15.480
<v Speaker 1>actually have said they hate the Constitution. And you know,

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I think most Americans like the Constitution, Jim Tellan, I

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:20.160
<v Speaker 1>think they like liberty.

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 8>And what do you think A big, a big feature

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 8>of the average Republican stump speech needs to be that,

0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 8>And whether you're running explicitly against one of these people

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:34.359
<v Speaker 8>or not, because as I said before, I mean those

0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:37.120
<v Speaker 8>who are not in the DSA now have to energize

0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 8>that wing in order to win whether they're not going

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 8>to I mean, you're not going to have Papus in

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:45.719
<v Speaker 8>New Hampshire talking explicitly about abolishing all the prisons or

0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:50.200
<v Speaker 8>abolishing the police, or getting rid of the constitution. So

0:44:50.239 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 8>they'll pick and choose among in the DSA platform amongst

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:57.400
<v Speaker 8>try and pull out some things they can sanitize, and

0:44:57.440 --> 0:45:00.120
<v Speaker 8>they'll talk about that. And so this is where the

0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 8>quality of the candidates comes into play. This is where

0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:06.799
<v Speaker 8>you have to have a powerful, credible message that focuses

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:10.960
<v Speaker 8>people on exactly the differences that Mike Johnson was talking about.

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Did you see Patrick Graffini study yesterday one of the

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:19.520
<v Speaker 1>academic posters the average bias in more than three quarters

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of the races in the Senate is five and a

0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>half percent, and it's worse in August than any other time.

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Did you always run into that where your Senate numbers

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 1>always giggly and august and ridiculous.

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 8>Well, you I paid attention generally speaking to my own numbers,

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 8>and other was what we were doing internally. And one

0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:40.960
<v Speaker 8>of the reasons for that is you could see trends

0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 8>over time. And of course I trusted my polster, but

0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:46.719
<v Speaker 8>I mean it was a different time you. I mean,

0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 8>it's been twenty years since I ran, and I think

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:51.560
<v Speaker 8>the polls were better now. Part of this we have

0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:53.840
<v Speaker 8>to be fair. It's just harder to get a hold

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.839
<v Speaker 8>of the kind of samples you need. I think it's

0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:00.279
<v Speaker 8>probably also harder to turn out models. But I'm I'd

0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:02.560
<v Speaker 8>be surprised if there wasn't a lot of bias built

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:04.839
<v Speaker 8>into that as well. So it is a I saw

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 8>your tweet on it. I didn't actually read the story,

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:08.239
<v Speaker 8>but I wasn't surprised by it.

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Now would you penal If you're a university Saint Anselom

0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 1>or Marquette, and you do a poll and it's wrong

0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:18.440
<v Speaker 1>by more than the margin of error? Would you continue polling?

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's bad for your university.

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 8>I think I'd hold my pollsters accountable, and you know,

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 8>i'd make them tell me why what went wrong and

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:34.360
<v Speaker 8>why do they think it won't go wrong again? And

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:37.319
<v Speaker 8>they're good polling, you know, Henry Olsen is good. There's

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:39.279
<v Speaker 8>a lot of good ones out there, but they're and

0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:42.279
<v Speaker 8>of course what you're reading are typically averages, so you're

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 8>getting the good ones, but it's also averaged against the

0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:45.879
<v Speaker 8>ones that aren't so good.

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:49.399

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Some people absolutely have the gift of prophecy. If God exists,

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.080
<v Speaker 2>how would he inject his information into our world? More

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:23.000

<v Speaker 14>seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel SPAN.

0:49:05.880 --> 0:49:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Visitors, we're here for a week. Glad you could join

0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 1>us on c SPAN. And this is special because I

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 1>have a first time guest, Spencer Claven. Now I've known

0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Spencer's father for a long time, but I haven't interviewed

0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Spencer before. Spencer, you're here because last week I had

0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:23.360
<v Speaker 1>been Domina Chan said, Ben, I need young, smart people

0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 1>with sparkle and brains who can talk. He said, you

0:49:26.920 --> 0:49:31.320
<v Speaker 1>want Spencer. Claven said done. But uh, there's a couple

0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of tricks that go along with us. Spencer. First of all,

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you're an associate editor at the Claremont Institute. You're with

0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the Young Heretics podcaster. You got a brand new book

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>out called let Me Get It Right. I want to

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:45.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure you get it exactly what it's called, Away

0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:49.960
<v Speaker 1>with Words, Away with Words? Why language makes humans? They're replaceable?

0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Away with Words? But Spencer, before we go to Away

0:49:52.880 --> 0:49:54.920
<v Speaker 1>with Words, I got to ask you. My two opening

0:49:55.000 --> 0:50:00.400
<v Speaker 1>question was ald your hiss a communist spy. See what

0:50:01.040 --> 0:50:03.839
<v Speaker 1>good good? A lot of people freeze on that number two.

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you read The Looming Easy?

0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:11.120
<v Speaker 15>Oh boy, you know what this is? Embarrassing you. I

0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:13.400
<v Speaker 15>read portions of it about when I was in high school.

0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 15>But it's been a long time, so I got.

0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:18.839
<v Speaker 1>To get on that. It's the keystone tech for our time. Now.

0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about it a way.

0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.600
<v Speaker 15>I'm sorry that misled you in this way.

0:50:23.200 --> 0:50:26.560
<v Speaker 1>You're a serience scholar, You're an Oxford guy. Tell us

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:27.640
<v Speaker 1>about your education.

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 15>Sure well, I am a classicist through and through for

0:50:33.800 --> 0:50:37.160
<v Speaker 15>my sins as penitents. I grew up in a house

0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 15>filled with books.

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:38.239
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:41.680
<v Speaker 15>My dad as a literary man as well, and I

0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:47.279
<v Speaker 15>was very blessed to be surrounded by just a beautiful

0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 15>home library. And we had this rule at home that

0:50:51.160 --> 0:50:53.440
<v Speaker 15>you couldn't organize the books because that way, when you

0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 15>went looking for one book, another one would fall off

0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:59.040
<v Speaker 15>the shelf and you'd get missed, you waylaid, and you'd

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 15>find something else you were excited about. So for me,

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.160
<v Speaker 15>from a very young age, you know, I learned that

0:51:05.200 --> 0:51:08.520
<v Speaker 15>being surrounded by books meant being surrounded by friends, and

0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:12.120
<v Speaker 15>especially the Greek and Latin classics. I was twelve years

0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:16.800
<v Speaker 15>old lying on my grandparents' floor flipping through the Richmond

0:51:16.840 --> 0:51:20.239
<v Speaker 15>Lattimore translation of the Odyssey, and so I never saw

0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:23.960
<v Speaker 15>a chance, really, and you know, it was plus of course,

0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:28.520
<v Speaker 15>it's such a lucrative career to go Greek and Latin,

0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:31.440
<v Speaker 15>so I figured I'd make a pile. And you know,

0:51:31.440 --> 0:51:34.960
<v Speaker 15>I went to Oxford, as you mentioned in my PhD

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:38.000
<v Speaker 15>in classics there, and I think because I had that

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 15>background of it, I just described, you know, I was

0:51:41.480 --> 0:51:44.480
<v Speaker 15>kind of inoculated against the idea that, it turned out

0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 15>was very current and trendy that actually old books are evil,

0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:52.399
<v Speaker 15>They're the kind of oppressive and backward, and there they

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:55.760
<v Speaker 15>come from the time when you know, everybody was racist

0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 15>and sexist, and I just am in it for the

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:00.440
<v Speaker 15>love of the game. So, you know, I am one

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:04.320
<v Speaker 15>of those academics you're always hearing about. But I hope

0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:06.919
<v Speaker 15>that I've kind of retained a sense that really, what

0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 15>this stuff is that I'm interested in is kind of

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:14.040
<v Speaker 15>a secret society across time and space of great minds

0:52:14.320 --> 0:52:15.239
<v Speaker 15>that we get to be a part of.

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:18.680
<v Speaker 1>What is your ambition for a life as a public

0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:20.400
<v Speaker 1>intellectual what do you want to achieve?

0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 15>I hope that if at my time on this earth

0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:35.960
<v Speaker 15>does anything, I hope it will reconnect the average person

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:39.920
<v Speaker 15>with the liberal arts, and that is to say, the

0:52:40.080 --> 0:52:44.440
<v Speaker 15>highest pursuits of the human soul. When you have taken

0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:47.320
<v Speaker 15>care of your material needs, when your family is safe

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:51.359
<v Speaker 15>and comfortable, when your email chain is optimized, when you've

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:54.319
<v Speaker 15>got your supplement stack, or whatever it is that you

0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:56.600
<v Speaker 15>feel like you need to kind of get in line.

0:52:57.120 --> 0:52:58.600
<v Speaker 15>What are you going to do with your free time?

0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:00.359
<v Speaker 15>What are you going to do when you're sitting at

0:53:00.360 --> 0:53:03.719
<v Speaker 15>home alone? You're going to scroll through cat videos? Are

0:53:03.760 --> 0:53:07.840
<v Speaker 15>you going to flip on a gambling website? Or are

0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:11.320
<v Speaker 15>you going to enrich your soul with the best that

0:53:11.360 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 15>has been thought and said? And I think making that

0:53:13.280 --> 0:53:16.160
<v Speaker 15>alive for people again, clearing past a lot of the

0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:20.799
<v Speaker 15>detritus that's kind of accumulated around that and some of

0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:24.360
<v Speaker 15>the misuse. I think that the modern academy has made

0:53:24.760 --> 0:53:27.879
<v Speaker 15>of its position in the world. If I can help

0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:31.680
<v Speaker 15>people to reconnect with their tradition and with their inheritance,

0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 15>are cultural inheritance as citizens not just of America but

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 15>of the West, then I think all have done my job.

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you all have done a great job, and I

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 1>think you're doing it all right. We're going to skim

0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:43.279
<v Speaker 1>along at seventy five miles an hour because I want

0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to cover two more things at least. First, what's in

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the Young Heretics? What will people get if they like

0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 1>and subscribe to the Young Heretics.

0:53:51.840 --> 0:53:55.239
<v Speaker 15>Young Heretics is the classical education. You didn't know you

0:53:55.400 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 15>were missing a lot of us, I think myself, to

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:05.080
<v Speaker 15>some extent included, grew up without fully realizing just what

0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:08.279
<v Speaker 15>riches are available to us in the tradition that we

0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 15>think of as the West. And when I talk about

0:54:09.719 --> 0:54:13.320
<v Speaker 15>the West, I mean Athens, that is to say, the

0:54:13.320 --> 0:54:19.200
<v Speaker 15>philosophy and the drama and literature of the Greco Roman world,

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:22.960
<v Speaker 15>and then Jerusalem, which is shorthand for the wisdom traditions

0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:28.080
<v Speaker 15>of the great monotheistic Jewish and Christian practices. And so

0:54:28.239 --> 0:54:32.200
<v Speaker 15>when you come onto Young Heretics every episode, every week,

0:54:32.719 --> 0:54:35.280
<v Speaker 15>I spend an hour just cracking open one of those books.

0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:38.759
<v Speaker 15>Right now, we're going through Dante's Divine Comedy, reading through

0:54:38.760 --> 0:54:42.680
<v Speaker 15>the Inferno at the moment, and hopefully you know it's

0:54:42.840 --> 0:54:46.080
<v Speaker 15>a high brow without being too stuffy, and we just

0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:49.000
<v Speaker 15>we're called young heretics because we just dispensed with the

0:54:49.040 --> 0:54:52.720
<v Speaker 15>current academic dogma that in order to understand this stuff

0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:55.040
<v Speaker 15>you first have to perform acts of contrition and self

0:54:55.040 --> 0:54:59.520
<v Speaker 15>flagellation for existing in the world American or a person.

0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:02.560
<v Speaker 1>That is very attractive. Now, I want to turn to

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Away with Words, and the Lunch law from Frank Lunch

0:55:05.719 --> 0:55:07.520
<v Speaker 1>is you've got to say the title of a book

0:55:07.600 --> 0:55:11.399
<v Speaker 1>seven times, away with words, Away with words, a way

0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:14.480
<v Speaker 1>with words, or otherwise someone listening is intrigued by the

0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:16.520
<v Speaker 1>premise you're going to put out in three or four

0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:19.680
<v Speaker 1>minutes here about what the books about it intended to do.

0:55:19.880 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 1>They won't remember the title. So I've covered the seven

0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Away with Words by Spencer Claven. What's it about, Spencer?

0:55:28.040 --> 0:55:30.480
<v Speaker 15>The problem with saying this title seven times is it

0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:32.799
<v Speaker 15>sounds like you might be saying away with words in

0:55:32.960 --> 0:55:35.719
<v Speaker 15>spense with language, and that's the opposite of what I

0:55:35.760 --> 0:55:38.239
<v Speaker 15>mean to say. I'm saying here's something that is very

0:55:38.239 --> 0:55:42.400
<v Speaker 15>ancient but very urgent for the modern era with the

0:55:42.520 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 15>advent of day I, and that is mankind is alone

0:55:46.560 --> 0:55:49.919
<v Speaker 15>among the animals in his ability to use language. That's

0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:53.000
<v Speaker 15>something Aristotle said but it's also something you find across

0:55:53.040 --> 0:55:57.759
<v Speaker 15>many different wisdom traditions and civilizations throughout time.

0:55:58.200 --> 0:55:59.440
<v Speaker 2>The idea that.

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:02.680
<v Speaker 15>Our ability not just to speak words, but to understand

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.640
<v Speaker 15>the order of the universe and express it in language

0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:08.719
<v Speaker 15>makes us unique, makes us irreplaceable, As the subtitle of

0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:11.719
<v Speaker 15>the book says, obviously, that's something that people are now

0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 15>calling into the question now that our boss seem to

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:17.439
<v Speaker 15>be able to spit out poetry and sonnets and other

0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:20.080
<v Speaker 15>things that we thought only humans could do. But the

0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 15>book makes an extended argument that that's actually not the

0:56:24.120 --> 0:56:27.120
<v Speaker 15>same thing as what humans are doing when we understand

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:29.920
<v Speaker 15>the word and when we connect with the order of

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:33.000
<v Speaker 15>the universe that we alone are able to discern, understand,

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:34.600
<v Speaker 15>and enrich ourselves with.

0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:35.440
<v Speaker 2>So that's the book.

0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm going to read this and in fact, if

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:40.000
<v Speaker 1>your publisher will send me a copy, we'll talk. We'll

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:42.080
<v Speaker 1>do a book interview on a serious book interview. Brian

0:56:42.200 --> 0:56:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Lamb taught me how to do book interviews and don't

0:56:45.719 --> 0:56:47.840
<v Speaker 1>do a book interview unless you've read the book. And

0:56:47.960 --> 0:56:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I really want to talk to you about that book,

0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 1>but I also want to talk to you about last week.

0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Matt Continetti triggered me. Ask me if i'd read Russell

0:56:56.200 --> 0:57:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Kirks The Roots of American Order. I can't remember. I did,

0:57:00.320 --> 0:57:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember, but I couldn't get it. So I

0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:05.040
<v Speaker 1>got the conservative mind, and I just finished the chapter

0:57:05.120 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>on Adams last night and not I had forgotten all

0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:11.080
<v Speaker 1>this because it's been forty years. Do you have a

0:57:11.200 --> 0:57:14.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite conservative philosopher from modernity?

0:57:16.800 --> 0:57:17.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:20.600
<v Speaker 15>Boy, I'm not sure if C. S. Lewis counts beIN.

0:57:20.760 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 15>Oh yeah, he's British.

0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay. It was one of the most important books

0:57:25.360 --> 0:57:26.120
<v Speaker 1>anyone can read.

0:57:27.640 --> 0:57:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad you said that.

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:31.240
<v Speaker 15>Some people think that's kind of a deep cut out,

0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:33.880
<v Speaker 15>but I completely agree. It's one of the great novels

0:57:33.920 --> 0:57:36.320
<v Speaker 15>of the twentieth century. And I would say that Lewis

0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:39.440
<v Speaker 15>is not just my favorite conservative intellectual. He is, in

0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:44.120
<v Speaker 15>fact the greatest public intellectual of the twentieth century. And

0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:48.520
<v Speaker 15>he sometimes slept on because he's so eloquent and intelligible,

0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:51.600
<v Speaker 15>because normal people can read him with pleasure. But you

0:57:51.640 --> 0:57:53.840
<v Speaker 15>mentioned that hideous strength, which I really think of as

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:56.320
<v Speaker 15>the fictional version of the abolition of man, which is

0:57:56.360 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 15>his lectures he gave on fiction, and the two of

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:03.280
<v Speaker 15>them together could have been written about five minutes ago.

0:58:03.480 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 15>I think the understanding and there what people do, how

0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 15>people destroy themselves when they give their their lives over

0:58:09.760 --> 0:58:13.240
<v Speaker 15>to technology and materialism is just exquisite.

0:58:13.760 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 1>So that would be how on the nose it is.

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It's absolutely creepy. So Spencer, are you a Catholic? Are

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you an Evangelical? What are you?

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:26.120
<v Speaker 15>Well, I'm not a Catholic, No, although I call myself

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.320
<v Speaker 15>kind of we'll work on that. I like to culturally

0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.160
<v Speaker 15>appropriate catholic Yeah, well, I like to culturally appropriate.

0:58:30.720 --> 0:58:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Catholicism a lot.

0:58:31.680 --> 0:58:34.200
<v Speaker 15>You know Perry the Rosary, and I think it's, you know,

0:58:34.200 --> 0:58:37.480
<v Speaker 15>one of the great intellectual tradictions. But no, I'm kind

0:58:37.520 --> 0:58:39.800
<v Speaker 15>of a high Church Anglican. I was baptized when I

0:58:39.800 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 15>was eighteen.

0:58:41.640 --> 0:58:43.960
<v Speaker 1>We got to get you across the Tiber. Yeah, last question?

0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Which college at Oxford?

0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:51.040
<v Speaker 15>I'm modeling for my doctors college impact of course.

0:58:51.280 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And so you've been at Clermont for how long?

0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:53.480
<v Speaker 9>Now?

0:58:55.400 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 15>This would be my seventh year. I think time time fly.

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:02.400
<v Speaker 15>So I'm the associate editor of the CRB and the director.

0:59:03.040 --> 0:59:05.240
<v Speaker 1>You got to get the Hillsdale somehow. We got to talk.

0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:07.040
<v Speaker 1>We got to work on that. Larry arn does what

0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you do, but he's been doing it with me in

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the Hillsdale Dialogue weekly for the last thirteen years. And Spencer,

0:59:14.000 --> 0:59:16.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have you back Away with Words by

0:59:16.520 --> 0:59:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Claven follows Spencer on x at Surprisingly Spencer Claven

0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and go look up the Young Heretics podcast and go

0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:30.360
<v Speaker 1>order Away with Words. Spencer. A joy to meet you,

0:59:30.440 --> 0:59:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Ben was right. I look forward to talking to you

0:59:32.760 --> 0:59:34.080
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of weeks. Got to get you on

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the regular rotation here on the Hugh Hewitt Show. Welcome

0:59:37.960 --> 0:59:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Back in America. I'm Hugh Hewett, please to welcome back.

0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:43.080
<v Speaker 1>A Meet. Segal a Meet is the anchor of the

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Channel twelve Meet Depress in Israel. He's also their chief

0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:50.439
<v Speaker 1>political correspondent, author of a fabulous book, The Call at

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:53.680
<v Speaker 1>four Am, that dives into the Israeli political system, and

0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I hope to talk to him a couple of times

0:59:55.400 --> 0:59:58.479
<v Speaker 1>in the last two months before the Israeli election. A Meet.

0:59:58.560 --> 1:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the Channel twelve Paul last Night, twenty

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>four seats and coude to the Eisencott Party twenty two,

1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>who's like could fifteen two together? And then two headlines,

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Lieberman won't serve with the minority government led by Oisen

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Kott and the joint list at three Era party he

1:00:18.720 --> 1:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>still doesn't have or Ahman at the Islamist Party. Put

1:00:22.440 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>it all together, what's it mean, Who's going to run

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>our most important ally for American.

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

1:00:29.200 --> 1:00:33.640
<v Speaker 6>So it's very very interesting and not as confusing as

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:37.360
<v Speaker 6>it might look in the first look. In order to win,

1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:40.240
<v Speaker 6>one needs sixty one seats at the Connects out of

1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:41.200
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and twenty.

1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>As we speak, no one has this number.

1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 6>NATHANIELO, according to most of the mainstream media polls, is

1:00:48.720 --> 1:00:52.440
<v Speaker 6>legging way behind the Eisenkoten decenter left with something like

1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:56.000
<v Speaker 6>fifty to fifty fifty two seats, which is going to

1:00:56.040 --> 1:01:00.560
<v Speaker 6>be his worst defeat since since two thousand and six. However,

1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:07.040
<v Speaker 6>according to Challenges fourteen polls, Child fourteen is like I

1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:11.880
<v Speaker 6>don't know Foxies or news Max or seven. So NATANIAO

1:01:11.960 --> 1:01:15.120
<v Speaker 6>is going to have his best victory in his entire

1:01:15.200 --> 1:01:18.640
<v Speaker 6>political career. So it's quite confusing and it cannot be

1:01:18.720 --> 1:01:23.800
<v Speaker 6>explained by merely the margins, etc. So I would like

1:01:23.880 --> 1:01:28.760
<v Speaker 6>to stick to my Channel twelve poll which still shows

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 6>that Eisencott will have hard times to form a coalition.

1:01:32.040 --> 1:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Why because in order to be sworrying as.

1:01:35.160 --> 1:01:38.640
<v Speaker 6>Prime minister, it will have to rely heavily on the

1:01:38.720 --> 1:01:42.720
<v Speaker 6>non Zionist and anti Zionist Arab parties in Israel, and

1:01:42.880 --> 1:01:45.439
<v Speaker 6>I don't think it's quite efficient in the long run.

1:01:46.480 --> 1:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>So mister Liberman declared today, at least I saw in

1:01:49.560 --> 1:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the Times the visual he will not serve in a

1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>minority government. Does that mean a government that aigen Kott

1:01:56.240 --> 1:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>would put together with the Arab parties and the anti

1:01:59.080 --> 1:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Zionist parties? He broughing out any coalition with the Arab

1:02:02.160 --> 1:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>parties and the Anti Zionist party.

1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:11.280
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, if we are to take Liberman's election pledges in

1:02:11.400 --> 1:02:17.040
<v Speaker 6>its face value, so it necessarily means that Eisenhott's chances

1:02:17.080 --> 1:02:21.480
<v Speaker 6>to form a coalition are closed to zero. However, Liberan

1:02:21.520 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 6>has a record of breaking his election pledges, including the

1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:27.160
<v Speaker 6>very election pledge to actually not.

1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Sit with the our parties.

1:02:28.960 --> 1:02:32.480
<v Speaker 6>It happened in twenty twenty one, and Liberman became the

1:02:32.520 --> 1:02:36.480
<v Speaker 6>Treasury minister back then. So I would take with a

1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:41.320
<v Speaker 6>grain of salt any election pledge, and especially Liberman's. On

1:02:41.360 --> 1:02:44.600
<v Speaker 6>the other hand, in Israel. One must remember that you

1:02:44.680 --> 1:02:48.360
<v Speaker 6>do not have to be the most popular party in

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:51.440
<v Speaker 6>order to become the next prime minister, because the game

1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:55.120
<v Speaker 6>in Israel is not in the public but in the Knesset.

1:02:55.480 --> 1:02:59.320
<v Speaker 6>As long as you have sixty one votes of Knessal members,

1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:01.880
<v Speaker 6>you become the prime minie. Still, so if Bennett became

1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:04.600
<v Speaker 6>a prime minister with nearly five percent of the popular

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:08.320
<v Speaker 6>vote in twenty twenty one, it necessarily means that Libean

1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:11.240
<v Speaker 6>can become the next prime Ministeal with seven to eight

1:03:11.480 --> 1:03:15.320
<v Speaker 6>percent of the popular vote. So had I bet on

1:03:15.440 --> 1:03:20.400
<v Speaker 6>pony market, I would have invested in Liberman way more

1:03:20.680 --> 1:03:24.560
<v Speaker 6>than the prospects he is currently holding there now.

1:03:24.600 --> 1:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, since I'm not only on Salem Today on

1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the Salem Media Radio Network the Salem News Channel, I'm

1:03:30.600 --> 1:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>also on six SPAN Today a little experiment we're running

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>during the summer for a week of broadcasting.

1:03:35.120 --> 1:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So you're talking to a really so you're going to

1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>be famous few.

1:03:38.640 --> 1:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I'd love you to explain what happens when

1:03:42.320 --> 1:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>no one gets sixty one. Because we were there for

1:03:46.160 --> 1:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>three or four years. It's sort of like musical chairs,

1:03:48.440 --> 1:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>except that, yeah, who doesn't get up? Well, how do

1:03:51.200 --> 1:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you explain it the vision.

1:03:54.000 --> 1:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So here's the thing.

1:03:56.000 --> 1:04:01.840
<v Speaker 6>Israel October seventh was and a tectonic with an earthquake. Now,

1:04:01.920 --> 1:04:06.680
<v Speaker 6>earthquake usually happens when two tectonic plates collide. Now what

1:04:06.840 --> 1:04:09.400
<v Speaker 6>are the tectonic plates colliding in Israel as we speak?

1:04:09.720 --> 1:04:14.400
<v Speaker 6>One tectonic plate is many many Israelis moving rapidly to

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:16.640
<v Speaker 6>the right wing because they cease to believe in two

1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:20.040
<v Speaker 6>state solutions after they saw what the Palestinian state.

1:04:19.840 --> 1:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Of Gaza did to them on October seventh.

1:04:22.240 --> 1:04:25.480
<v Speaker 6>And on the other hand, there is a huge movement

1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:29.640
<v Speaker 6>or a huge shift of voters from the right wings leadership.

1:04:29.360 --> 1:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>That failed on October seventh.

1:04:31.000 --> 1:04:35.200
<v Speaker 6>So while people adopt are adapted more and more the

1:04:35.280 --> 1:04:39.680
<v Speaker 6>right wing opinions, they are disillusioned and disappointed by the

1:04:39.760 --> 1:04:43.760
<v Speaker 6>right wing's leadership, which means that there are many people

1:04:43.840 --> 1:04:47.000
<v Speaker 6>who are up in the air, undecided swing voters who

1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:48.240
<v Speaker 6>haven't made their mind yet.

1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's the outcome.

1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:52.560
<v Speaker 6>The outcome is that you do not have enough votes

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:55.680
<v Speaker 6>for Nathaniao's block because he failed on October seventh. And

1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:58.360
<v Speaker 6>on the other hand, his opponents do not enjoy a

1:04:58.360 --> 1:05:02.520
<v Speaker 6>majority because people do not like their opinions because they

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 6>belong to the center left. So that's the reason why

1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:08.440
<v Speaker 6>no one gets sixty one. As far as I know,

1:05:09.000 --> 1:05:12.480
<v Speaker 6>what happens if they are earning sixty one seats. One

1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:15.800
<v Speaker 6>option is to go to yet another round of election cycle.

1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:18.600
<v Speaker 6>It happened in Israel, as you have just mentioned, five

1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:21.120
<v Speaker 6>times in three and a half years, and it's a

1:05:21.240 --> 1:05:24.560
<v Speaker 6>nightmare for the country and for the electoral system. The

1:05:24.640 --> 1:05:29.120
<v Speaker 6>other option is to have a government a minority, governments

1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:34.400
<v Speaker 6>worn in so the agressive members, for instance, will be abstained,

1:05:35.160 --> 1:05:38.840
<v Speaker 6>thus allowing Eisenkode to become the next prime minister.

1:05:39.160 --> 1:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>But it's way too early to call.

1:05:41.600 --> 1:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, in the next segment, I'm going to

1:05:43.720 --> 1:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>ask you of the Israeli version of the meat the

1:05:47.760 --> 1:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>press host, what you're going to be asking the leading

1:05:50.760 --> 1:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>party candidates in the last few weeks of the election,

1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the pointed questions that they expect from you from that.

1:05:57.040 --> 1:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>But right now, I just want you to opine's decide

1:06:00.680 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the selection and do we even know yet because there

1:06:03.080 --> 1:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>might be another flow up with the Iran war.

1:06:06.680 --> 1:06:10.800
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, so first and foremost this it's you know, to

1:06:10.880 --> 1:06:14.520
<v Speaker 6>quote the ninety ninety two slogan with an Israeli a twist.

1:06:14.880 --> 1:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>It's the security, stupid.

1:06:16.720 --> 1:06:21.919
<v Speaker 6>The main thing for Israelis is the security and their existence.

1:06:22.280 --> 1:06:25.080
<v Speaker 6>So if the Iran war is going to erupt again,

1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:29.200
<v Speaker 6>it's going to dramatically affect the election. The second thing

1:06:29.320 --> 1:06:32.360
<v Speaker 6>is that people do not like Nataniel's alliance was the

1:06:32.440 --> 1:06:35.520
<v Speaker 6>ultra authodox community in Israel that do not serve in

1:06:35.560 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 6>the army and enjoys enjoy heavy subsidies, heavy government subsidies.

1:06:42.840 --> 1:06:45.840
<v Speaker 6>On the other hand, people do not want to base

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:49.640
<v Speaker 6>the coalition on anti Zionist Arab parties. So I would

1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:53.560
<v Speaker 6>say three things, One Iran and the second and third

1:06:53.720 --> 1:06:57.080
<v Speaker 6>is who do you like the list, the Arabs or

1:06:57.120 --> 1:06:59.840
<v Speaker 6>the ultra Orthodox. This is the question which is going

1:06:59.840 --> 1:07:02.320
<v Speaker 6>to actually decide the election.

1:07:03.120 --> 1:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Is ten seven the failure to have a commission a

1:07:06.760 --> 1:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>major issue in your mind, in many voters' minds.

1:07:11.640 --> 1:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure.

1:07:12.400 --> 1:07:16.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean, while it's crucial for Israelis to understand what

1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:19.760
<v Speaker 6>really happened and who is to be blamed for the huge,

1:07:19.920 --> 1:07:23.360
<v Speaker 6>devastating failure, I'm not sure this is going to be

1:07:23.800 --> 1:07:26.360
<v Speaker 6>the question according to which the election to be decided.

1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:31.040
<v Speaker 6>And I'll explain something really crucial about Israel. In the

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:35.200
<v Speaker 6>United States, people vote with you know, they have two ballots,

1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:38.880
<v Speaker 6>maybe even three for president, for Senate, for Congress.

1:07:39.240 --> 1:07:40.280
<v Speaker 2>In Israel you have one.

1:07:40.680 --> 1:07:44.200
<v Speaker 16>And since Israelis have only one ballots to cast, it

1:07:44.320 --> 1:07:48.720
<v Speaker 16>necessarily means that they are going to have only one consideration,

1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:52.280
<v Speaker 16>one issue to actually consider while voting.

1:07:52.640 --> 1:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And this issue is the security any.

1:07:54.880 --> 1:08:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Other consideration topic, et cetera, economy, pollution is going to

1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:02.880
<v Speaker 6>be inferior.

1:08:03.520 --> 1:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm covered right back with a Meet Sagall to ask

1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>him what is Tim Russer at social security? Question is?

1:08:08.640 --> 1:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>For years, when Tim Russert hosted Meet the Press, he

1:08:10.880 --> 1:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>went after every presidential candidate by beginning, what about social Security?

1:08:14.960 --> 1:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>And he would drill down on that. We're going to

1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>find out what a Meet Sagall's got lined up for

1:08:18.840 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the Israeli candidates coming up. Stay tuned, Welcome back to America.

1:08:31.479 --> 1:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm Hugh hewittt a meet Segaal is with me. He's

1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the Channel twelve political correspondent, the host of Israel's Meet

1:08:37.520 --> 1:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the Press. A meet in America. We've grown used to

1:08:41.880 --> 1:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Sunday hosts kind of gigging Republicans and throwing softballs to Democrats.

1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Tim Russer used to throw hard balls at the head

1:08:50.200 --> 1:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of everyone, no matter what their party. What will you

1:08:53.160 --> 1:08:55.920
<v Speaker 1>be asking people who would be prime minister in the

1:08:55.960 --> 1:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>next two months?

1:08:58.760 --> 1:09:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think it's not going to identical question.

1:09:00.760 --> 1:09:04.280
<v Speaker 6>I would have asked the Prime Minister Nathaniel if when

1:09:04.320 --> 1:09:08.720
<v Speaker 6>sleeping at night he dreams about the Medaled babies from

1:09:08.760 --> 1:09:13.439
<v Speaker 6>the Kibutzim near Gaza, because Lieutenant never really answered questions

1:09:13.439 --> 1:09:17.479
<v Speaker 6>about October seventh massacre and his responsibility. And I would

1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:20.679
<v Speaker 6>ask Gardy, Eisenkotte and Liberman and Bennett if they really

1:09:20.720 --> 1:09:25.519
<v Speaker 6>feel that their positions regarding the conflict in the Middle

1:09:25.520 --> 1:09:30.000
<v Speaker 6>East actually fits the situation of Israel, because I'm under

1:09:30.040 --> 1:09:32.160
<v Speaker 6>the impression that some of them do not really have

1:09:33.400 --> 1:09:36.200
<v Speaker 6>do not really reveal what they really think about the

1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:37.679
<v Speaker 6>pernicidian question, for instance.

1:09:37.920 --> 1:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>So I would drill down on this on these questions.

1:09:41.240 --> 1:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Would you be asking them about how long in Lebanon

1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and how long in Gaza?

1:09:48.240 --> 1:09:50.880
<v Speaker 6>No, because to be honest, I don't think. I mean,

1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:55.120
<v Speaker 6>I think history will actually mock us for asking the

1:09:55.720 --> 1:10:00.479
<v Speaker 6>until one question, because wars actually are long and we

1:10:00.560 --> 1:10:02.639
<v Speaker 6>got used to, you know, in Israel the sixth Day.

1:10:02.479 --> 1:10:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Were the young Kipuwo, which lasted eighteen days.

1:10:05.200 --> 1:10:09.040
<v Speaker 6>But wars are basically processes, and I don't want to

1:10:09.080 --> 1:10:11.920
<v Speaker 6>be remembered in history as the you know, as the

1:10:11.960 --> 1:10:15.880
<v Speaker 6>British corresponding asking Churchill after D Day, how long is going?

1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it going to take a guitar is defeated, So.

1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>You're right, okay, Two more questions. One, when you sit

1:10:22.640 --> 1:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>down with the candidate, are you going to ask them

1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>about the reserves? Because I sometimes think the Howard Dean

1:10:28.160 --> 1:10:31.639
<v Speaker 1>question is really the reservests are spent and is there

1:10:31.640 --> 1:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>any other way to do this? Because I spent five hundred,

1:10:34.240 --> 1:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>three hundred, five hundred days on duty? How do you

1:10:37.000 --> 1:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>find that question?

1:10:40.120 --> 1:10:42.639
<v Speaker 6>I think that the question in Israel is not about

1:10:42.760 --> 1:10:46.200
<v Speaker 6>recruiting to the army, because I can talk someone who

1:10:46.240 --> 1:10:48.800
<v Speaker 6>doesn't believe in Zionism and the state of Israel to

1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:52.240
<v Speaker 6>actually serve in the army. It's like trying to recruit

1:10:52.280 --> 1:10:55.360
<v Speaker 6>a you know, Scandinavian to the is Ready army. What

1:10:55.479 --> 1:10:57.439
<v Speaker 6>I would do is to cut the subsidies to the

1:10:57.479 --> 1:11:01.280
<v Speaker 6>autrotodox community, because here's the thing. The Altrododos community as

1:11:01.280 --> 1:11:04.120
<v Speaker 6>a general rule, does not go to the army, therefore

1:11:04.160 --> 1:11:09.519
<v Speaker 6>does not go to the market, to the label market,

1:11:09.760 --> 1:11:13.840
<v Speaker 6>and hence is heavily subsidized by the governments.

1:11:14.000 --> 1:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>So the tax payers actually pay twice.

1:11:16.840 --> 1:11:19.080
<v Speaker 6>They go to the army and they pay taxes, and

1:11:19.160 --> 1:11:21.360
<v Speaker 6>those taxes are funding those who do not go to

1:11:21.400 --> 1:11:21.800
<v Speaker 6>the army.

1:11:21.960 --> 1:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>So all I would do is to cut the subsidies.

1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you an example.

1:11:24.720 --> 1:11:27.120
<v Speaker 6>I live in Jerusalem and I pay I think the

1:11:27.200 --> 1:11:30.240
<v Speaker 6>highest amount of municipal taxes in Israel.

1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Why because we have a very large proportion of an

1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>ultrotrodot community.

1:11:34.840 --> 1:11:38.240
<v Speaker 6>That's why I think that if I want to subsidize someone,

1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:41.320
<v Speaker 6>I prefer to subsidize my cousin who goes to the

1:11:41.439 --> 1:11:43.720
<v Speaker 6>army and who serve who is sell so far four

1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:47.639
<v Speaker 6>hundred days in reserves in levels of Syria and Gaza.

1:11:47.720 --> 1:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I think it's about the money.

1:11:50.160 --> 1:11:54.280
<v Speaker 6>In this in this case, and once you change the incentives,

1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:56.400
<v Speaker 6>you'll see a change in the army too in a

1:11:56.439 --> 1:11:57.200
<v Speaker 6>few years.

1:11:57.400 --> 1:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>A very last question, and maybe we got two minutes

1:12:00.240 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>when Israeli go up and they pull that labor today,

1:12:04.200 --> 1:12:07.439
<v Speaker 1>actually think about the Prime minister communicating with the world. Now,

1:12:07.479 --> 1:12:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, how is a star like half of America

1:12:09.520 --> 1:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>hates him? Half of America loves him. But around the

1:12:11.880 --> 1:12:14.439
<v Speaker 1>world at least you understand him. Do you have to

1:12:14.479 --> 1:12:17.479
<v Speaker 1>be good at that in your view as part of

1:12:17.520 --> 1:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the job.

1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:22.240
<v Speaker 6>I'll give you an example, okay, In Israel, I know

1:12:22.280 --> 1:12:24.479
<v Speaker 6>it sounds ridiculous, the level of.

1:12:24.520 --> 1:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>English, of English speaking is crucial for voters.

1:12:29.000 --> 1:12:32.519
<v Speaker 6>I can tell you about many, many candidates who actually

1:12:32.520 --> 1:12:36.479
<v Speaker 6>collapsed and crushed in the polls after you know, having

1:12:36.600 --> 1:12:43.519
<v Speaker 6>their very lame English public appearances Airdom television. So this

1:12:43.680 --> 1:12:45.920
<v Speaker 6>is very crucial for Israelis. And then always, you know,

1:12:46.080 --> 1:12:49.519
<v Speaker 6>masters English even better than his zerbrow. Second thing is

1:12:49.800 --> 1:12:53.519
<v Speaker 6>he is mister diplomacy. But then again, this is the

1:12:53.560 --> 1:12:58.240
<v Speaker 6>twelfth round of Nathania running for office since ninety ninety six.

1:12:58.880 --> 1:13:02.840
<v Speaker 6>And that's why it's always in Israel referendum about Nathaniel

1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:08.439
<v Speaker 6>he is. You know, the entire question is always supporting

1:13:08.479 --> 1:13:11.320
<v Speaker 6>and I will oppose him. And if you oppose Nathanieo,

1:13:11.880 --> 1:13:15.000
<v Speaker 6>and he's quite a controversial figure, of course, you don't

1:13:15.040 --> 1:13:17.880
<v Speaker 6>really care about who you vote for. I once, five

1:13:17.920 --> 1:13:21.519
<v Speaker 6>years ago I said that even a toaster would run

1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:25.200
<v Speaker 6>for office, it would have gotten something like forty five

1:13:25.280 --> 1:13:28.080
<v Speaker 6>to fifty percent of the Publio vote in Israel because

1:13:28.120 --> 1:13:30.519
<v Speaker 6>it's not about the toaster or about the Eisenholt or

1:13:30.520 --> 1:13:31.200
<v Speaker 6>about Liberman.

1:13:31.439 --> 1:13:32.719
<v Speaker 2>It's always about Bibby.

1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>That's remarkable. I sort of a la Kwan. You accept

1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>much more democratic than Lakwan you for Singapore, A mate Segal.

1:13:40.439 --> 1:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You should get his newsletter it's noon in Israel. I

1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>read it every day. You should read his book if

1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to understand this crazy Israeli system. A call

1:13:48.360 --> 1:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>at four am because a mets hobby is actually an

1:13:51.280 --> 1:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>electoral system. Second, I know, but I got a little

1:13:54.400 --> 1:13:56.519
<v Speaker 1>bit of that too. I make goodness, say you, thank

1:13:56.560 --> 1:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you so much. He's also on Dan Seniors Arc Media

<v Speaker 1>Catherine's here, Mary Katherine, I was just about to bore

1:14:12.040 --> 1:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>my audience with a revolutionary histories lesson on why the

1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>DSA is so scary. Well, the French Revolution is a

1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>scary thing. I don't think a lot of people know

1:14:21.040 --> 1:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>how scary they are, do you?

1:14:24.360 --> 1:14:25.880
<v Speaker 11>Uh, it is very scary.

1:14:25.960 --> 1:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I agree that they don't want the Senate they

1:14:30.200 --> 1:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want the Constitution. Let's go away from scary. Let's

1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>c Span, Mary Katherine, we broke into the you know,

1:14:38.439 --> 1:14:41.719
<v Speaker 1>as James Lilac says, the weather channel for smart people

1:14:41.720 --> 1:14:44.759
<v Speaker 1>a sea span, and we want them to know about

1:14:44.800 --> 1:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Getting Hammered. And I think today's episode is an absolutely

1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>wonderful episode. The drop about dropping your kids off at college,

1:14:53.320 --> 1:14:55.639
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think we got to tell Vic's

1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>wife it's going to be okay. The empty nest is

1:14:58.840 --> 1:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>an illusion, number one. You agree with me on that,

1:15:01.080 --> 1:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the emptiness's illusion.

1:15:03.960 --> 1:15:06.599
<v Speaker 17>Well, I think you can see it in the people's

1:15:06.640 --> 1:15:09.519
<v Speaker 17>lives around me, including Vic, that he still has an

1:15:09.560 --> 1:15:12.440
<v Speaker 17>extremely close relationship with his dad and sees him frequently.

1:15:12.520 --> 1:15:14.920
<v Speaker 17>So yeah, the family unit, although it will not be

1:15:14.960 --> 1:15:18.960
<v Speaker 17>what it was, will continue for sure, and it will expand.

1:15:19.040 --> 1:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I've just got rid. Didn't get rid. We just waved

1:15:21.960 --> 1:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a fond goodbye to the last six grandkids who came

1:15:25.240 --> 1:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>through on this wave of grandkids. I want you know,

1:15:27.880 --> 1:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>by the time you drop your third kid off at college,

1:15:30.080 --> 1:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they look back. I think they just

1:15:32.200 --> 1:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>put my trunk on the sidewalk and wave goodbye and

1:15:34.960 --> 1:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they were gone. I am a little bit different from

1:15:37.800 --> 1:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you on the dressing up of dorm rooms. One of

1:15:43.240 --> 1:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>my buddies from college, my college roommate, Mark Darren, president

1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of Hobart William Smith College. Yeah, dorm rooms are a

1:15:49.320 --> 1:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>big deal. Now, that's how you get kids to come

1:15:51.040 --> 1:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to your college. We got crappy stuff. Did you have

1:15:54.080 --> 1:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>good dorm rooms?

1:15:56.400 --> 1:15:58.200
<v Speaker 11>Oh no, we did not at all.

1:15:58.640 --> 1:16:00.720
<v Speaker 17>I actually went back to my dorm a couple of

1:16:00.760 --> 1:16:03.760
<v Speaker 17>years ago and was dismayed at how nice it had

1:16:03.800 --> 1:16:05.440
<v Speaker 17>become in my absence.

1:16:05.880 --> 1:16:08.080
<v Speaker 11>We were just sender block walls.

1:16:07.720 --> 1:16:13.280
<v Speaker 17>And you know, indif furniture and just you know, hang

1:16:13.320 --> 1:16:15.360
<v Speaker 17>a couple posters and you were done that. That was

1:16:15.360 --> 1:16:17.240
<v Speaker 17>how we did it. I don't know why the super

1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:19.759
<v Speaker 17>fancy dorm rooms make me so cranky? Is it because

1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:20.439
<v Speaker 17>I didn't have that.

1:16:20.479 --> 1:16:23.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm not usually an envious person, but.

1:16:23.000 --> 1:16:24.720
<v Speaker 11>I just feel like kits should slum it for.

1:16:24.720 --> 1:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>A little while. It's just social media. You didn't mention

1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst part about moving, though, which is the refrigerator.

1:16:30.040 --> 1:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Getting a refrigerator from part A of campus de party.

1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to go up steps like you did

1:16:34.360 --> 1:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>at University of Georgia. But did you ever have to

1:16:36.640 --> 1:16:38.679
<v Speaker 1>move a refrigerator with your dad?

1:16:39.800 --> 1:16:42.160
<v Speaker 17>We did have to move refrigerator and it was, like

1:16:42.200 --> 1:16:45.519
<v Speaker 17>I said, it was up steep hills every single time

1:16:46.200 --> 1:16:47.360
<v Speaker 17>because it's Athens, Georgia.

1:16:47.520 --> 1:16:49.519
<v Speaker 1>So good luck. Now I want the audience and c

1:16:49.680 --> 1:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Span and note the only There are only two crossover

1:16:52.200 --> 1:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>podcasts in the Fetching Missus Schutt in my stream. One

1:16:55.400 --> 1:16:57.599
<v Speaker 1>is Getting Hamored with you and co host Mac Madison.

1:16:57.640 --> 1:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>The other is the Acquired Podcast, which, for some reason

1:17:00.840 --> 1:17:04.799
<v Speaker 1>my wonderful wife loves to listen to stories of businesses. You, however,

1:17:04.880 --> 1:17:06.639
<v Speaker 1>hit the sweet spot. You're the morning show for any

1:17:06.640 --> 1:17:08.519
<v Speaker 1>time of the morning. How would you describe it to

1:17:08.520 --> 1:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the c SPAN audience? What is your objective with Getting Hammered?

1:17:12.400 --> 1:17:15.080
<v Speaker 17>Our objective is to be two friends talking about the news.

1:17:15.120 --> 1:17:17.120
<v Speaker 17>It is our job to be buried in it all

1:17:17.160 --> 1:17:17.559
<v Speaker 17>the time.

1:17:17.640 --> 1:17:18.920
<v Speaker 11>We hope it's not yours.

1:17:19.000 --> 1:17:21.000
<v Speaker 17>And in the absence of it not being your job,

1:17:21.040 --> 1:17:23.719
<v Speaker 17>we want to bring you some important news without bumming

1:17:23.760 --> 1:17:26.320
<v Speaker 17>you out and without stressing you out for about an hour.

1:17:26.640 --> 1:17:28.040
<v Speaker 11>That's the idea.

1:17:28.280 --> 1:17:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, you stressed me out big time today. Betsy and

1:17:32.960 --> 1:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I have walked on the McClain trail where the young

1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:39.160
<v Speaker 1>mother was murdered. I don't know a half dozen times.

1:17:39.439 --> 1:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not really a remote. It's kind of crazy what happened.

1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I heard about it on getting hammered. Is Northern Virginia becoming,

1:17:47.680 --> 1:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Chicago.

1:17:50.680 --> 1:17:53.559
<v Speaker 17>It's a problem. Steve Ascano, who is and this is

1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:56.200
<v Speaker 17>not a red meat phrase, it's just real. Is a

1:17:56.720 --> 1:18:00.840
<v Speaker 17>Soros funded prosecutor has these insane idea is about what

1:18:01.000 --> 1:18:05.040
<v Speaker 17>to do with criminals in our area, including letting them

1:18:05.120 --> 1:18:09.080
<v Speaker 17>free frequently. And I braced, as it is Spanburger, our

1:18:09.120 --> 1:18:12.479
<v Speaker 17>governor's policy not to work with ice. I braced for

1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:14.680
<v Speaker 17>the idea that whoever was murdered on this trail in

1:18:14.680 --> 1:18:18.719
<v Speaker 17>this very nice part of town, a very popular area,

1:18:18.760 --> 1:18:21.760
<v Speaker 17>at a trailhead for Great Falls, that it was going

1:18:21.760 --> 1:18:23.320
<v Speaker 17>to be someone who had been let free, who was

1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:25.439
<v Speaker 17>a violent offender in the past, or an illegal immigrant.

1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:27.760
<v Speaker 17>And indeed it was an illegal immigrant at least the

1:18:28.160 --> 1:18:31.760
<v Speaker 17>suspect that they have in custody right now. And it's

1:18:31.800 --> 1:18:35.080
<v Speaker 17>because they are absolutely crazy policies in this area that

1:18:35.200 --> 1:18:38.400
<v Speaker 17>allow people to reoffend and reoffend and reoffend. And now

1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:42.040
<v Speaker 17>it's sort of broken containment from areas that the affluent

1:18:42.080 --> 1:18:46.240
<v Speaker 17>people in the liberals in this area can They can't

1:18:46.280 --> 1:18:48.519
<v Speaker 17>ignore it as much anymore if it's on the Great

1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:51.200
<v Speaker 17>Falls trailhead, which is a big deal.

1:18:52.800 --> 1:18:55.360
<v Speaker 1>He's a DSA adjacent prosecutor, so I want people to

1:18:55.439 --> 1:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>understand that's what the DSA stands for. Last thing, I

1:18:57.760 --> 1:18:59.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that you were not an organized person until

1:18:59.840 --> 1:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I thought you'd have to be organized with

1:19:02.080 --> 1:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>your media schedule. Are you kidding, Hugh?

1:19:05.720 --> 1:19:08.720
<v Speaker 17>That's how I got into this job is because I mean,

1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:11.600
<v Speaker 17>can anyone do it who's not scatterbrained? And like, my

1:19:11.960 --> 1:19:14.000
<v Speaker 17>superpower is that once I'm in front of a camera,

1:19:14.120 --> 1:19:15.240
<v Speaker 17>everything makes sense to me.

1:19:15.640 --> 1:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But before the superpower, the good superpower, the Getting Hammered podcast.

1:19:20.640 --> 1:19:23.320
