That Jay Weber Podcast is a production 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:15.440 of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.880 Good Day, Welcome to the j Weber Podcast. Day. We'll 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.200 talk about President Trump's political enemies with getting a little smaller, 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.639 how today's bullying democrats really are showing the colors of 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.000 socialist dictators just infuriates them that they won't all fall 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.120 behind their nonsense, even this question of who won the 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.720 twenty twenty election. Also some thoughts on Stephen Colbert as 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.239 he's this year's Colin Kaepernick, fired because he sucked and 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.640 now wanting to blame other people. And then the final 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.120 segment of the show today or the podcast today is 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.040 more on how the white liberals and America haters over 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.239 time sanitized the histories of Native and black populations as 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.520 a way to ensure the white European is an evil 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.320 monster in there in their midst. All that more is 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.639 coming up, but Grey Jean producer extraordinary. I just that 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.920 last segment comes out of a Lewis and Clark book 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.440 that I just finished reading, and it's right from their 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.240 journals and their Lewis and Clark experience. Very different than 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.000 what we were taught in schools over the years, and 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.000 certainly very different than what the left says. Now. For example, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.320 did you know Saka Juella was pretty much useless? 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:17.760 No? 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.240 Really, Yeah, it's just a great myth has been built 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.280 around her, and I think it was probably the feminists 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.520 of the seventies and eighties that really wanted to promote 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.160 her as the woman who led the white men west. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.760 He's dumb white men, she led them west. Turns out 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.479 she was actually twelve and pregnant when she joined the expedition, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.399 and only because they really wanted the French trader who 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.080 was her very older, very much older husband, to come 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:42.839 along on the trip. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.880 Oh my gosh, after now the story comes out, I 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:46.360 bet you. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.880 Got much more. Yeah, great tidbit. They took her along 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.800 because she was Shoshone, and they thought, well, at least 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 she'll she can tell us where the Shoshone tribe is. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.680 They got into her her alleged native land. She had 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.520 no idea where she was or where they were. Just wow, 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.800 Saka Juya was completely useless. So that's just a bit 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.760 of a tease on that, But Greg, I want to 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.600 talk about how successful business guy Kevin O'Leary has infuriated 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.560 gen Zers this week. I don't know if you saw this. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.400 For those who missed it, O'Leary is he's one of 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.600 the hosts of Shark Tank, very successful businessman. He's sent 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.760 in a podcast. Most people waste about fifteen thousand dollars 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.519 a year on stupid stuff like five dollars coffees and 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:22.320 door dash. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.600 Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents. Can 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.760 I can walk around with anybody for day and show 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.440 you that they're wasting fifteen percent of their money sometimes 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.160 twenty stupid stuff. You know, you go to work to 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.640 spend fifteen bucks on a sandwich? What are you an idiot? 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.000 It costs you ninety nine cents to make a sandget 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.640 home and bring it with you, So what if you 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.080 bring it with you, bring your own water if you 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.240 have to, or your own drink, or bring your own coffee. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720 Money you start to add that up every day. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.080 It's a ton of money. Most people, particularly working in 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.320 metropolitan cities, that are just starting out on their job, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.799 making their first sixty thousand piss away about fifteen thousand 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.880 a year on stupid stuff, and that's what they should stock. 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.800 Gregory John, where's the controversy there? 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.240 Oh, my gosh, I mean it's only obvious. I mean, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.679 you and I both grew up that way. I mean 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.000 I can remember back when Dorothy and I first started out, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840 we had twenty dollars left over for the weekend, so 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:14.959 we had to stretch it out. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.720 For the next week. It's a lot of nickel taps 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.359 at the bars up there, though. It's the only thing 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.880 I think he gets wrong is the cost of a 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.280 premium coffee right now. It's more like seven or eight 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.240 bucks in the larger cities. But other than that, he 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.000 speaks the truth. And obviously he said younger people first 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.040 starting out, So the average gen zer's reaction to this 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.120 on social media was really interesting to me. They just 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.320 blasted him, of course, including Buck Sexton, which surprised me 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.920 a little bit. They wanted to defend the wasteful spending 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.920 of gen zers by saying, well, college is three times 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.440 more expensive, mortgage rates are huge, everything costs more, as 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.440 if that's an excuse for people to engage in wasteful spending, 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.200 and then cry poor I think. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.200 That's all relative. I mean it was expensive for us 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.600 back then. It costs a cup of coffee back then, 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.960 was what sense. But when you only have twenty dollars 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.640 in your bank account, it's expensive. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.560 Of course, Yes, it's all the rising cost of living. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.120 And today's generation acts they actually are more privileged than 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.040 any in the previously, and they act as if if 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.680 they don't get everything they want, or if they have 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.720 to make a little bit of a sacrifice, it's terrible. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.480 You know, Kevin O'Leary wasn't saying life is perfect or 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.440 that it's easy for young people who are just starting 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.719 out if they just cut out coffee and door dash. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.839 He was actually saying the opposite. The cost of living 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.479 is expensive. It's made worse by bad choices, So make 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.159 good choices here. But what tickled me is here's a 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.480 rich guy telling you how I got rich. Basically, make 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.039 smart spending choices, don't waste money, unnecessarily create a budget. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.560 So you can either take that, whether your gen z 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.719 or whether you're a little bit older, you can either 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.039 take that advice and end up financially comfortable as well. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.600 You can just blast him and spit venom at him 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:51.400 and call him stupid. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.800 Unfortunately, I think more people were just blasting him on that. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.960 Yeah, but you can either get all defensive when someone 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.760 points out the bad choice as you're making, or admit 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.880 it and learn something and be better for it. But 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.919 when it comes today's financial situation, oh learly in the 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.440 gen z ers are actually both right. The cost of 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.040 living is out of whack for a younger generation, I 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.440 think more than for us growing up due to bad policies, 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.279 policy choices over the last forty years, inflation, out of control, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.839 social service programs that only grow and grow and take 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.800 more of our paycheck. That's true, but today's kids are 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.360 also wasting a lot of money in really stupid ways, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.000 with streaming services and door dash and destination weddings and 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.000 seven dollars coffees. So step one of dealing with higher 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.600 prices should be do an honest evaluation of your spending. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.800 Are you being stupid or arrogantly unwilling to sacrifice even 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.840 a little in order to save for the future. If 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.039 you do it right, you'll have the ability to retire early, 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.200 as I did, at least with the help of a 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.279 good investment advisor.

The speakers statements are not an endorsement 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.480 of the firm. I have a longer segment on how 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.320 today's activist left and white historians in general have sanitized 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.600 and mythologized Native Americans, And so I'm hoping to move 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.400 faster through some of the other stuff that I've found 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.039 interesting over the last few days. Let's start with Thomas 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.520 Massey's removal from Congress by his own constituents in Kentucky. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.719 It's more than that, though President Trump displayed his power 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.320 in all sorts of ways in Tuesday's primary. So it 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.279 solidifies my explanation as to why President Trump has a 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.039 stronger grip on the Republican Party in the final years 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.440 of his presidency than he did in the early years 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.599 of his president It's historically rare, if not unique. Trump's 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.480 moving into the period in which he's supposed to be 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.039 a lame duck in Washington, d c. And within his 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.400 own party, and instead his control of the party has 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.640 never been stronger. Thomas Massey was until recently a popular 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.760 multi term incumbent House member out in Kentucky. He called 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.520 himself a libertarian, but really he just spent his time 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.120 in Washington opposing everything. He was a difficult jag in 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.200 just about every way, and whenever the Republican caucus really 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.680 needed him, he disappointed them. Massey perpetually made things more 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.559 difficult for Mike Johnson and Kevin McCarthy and was proud 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.200 to do so. And that's the biggest reason Donald Trump 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.480 and his allies put a target on Massey's back for 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.880 removal on Tuesday. Massey didn't only lose his seat in Congress, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.400 though he lost in a primary and by ten points. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.320 A lot of attention is being given to Massey's loss, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.400 of course, but fewer news outlets and fewer pundits are 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.640 emphasizing this guy lost in a primary by ten points. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.400 He was a sitting house member. He went from popular 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.320 incumbent to turd within his own party and within his 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.480 own constituency rather quickly, and Folks, losing your primary by 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.720 ten points means that it was about more than Trump. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.800 Sean Davis of The Federalist explained why Massey lost on 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.640 X and I think he got it right. He said, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.760 Massey went from principal libertarian to anti Trump Epstein, obsessive 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.240 and voting against Trump and leadership at every turn. Massey 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.520 lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.520 but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.600 said to looking like a clout chasing influencer who cared 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.400 more about getting TV time with Democrats than he did 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.560 about representing his voters. Davis says we'll never know what 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.239 caused the apparent personality change, but the drastic change was undeniable, 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.600 as was the seeming lack of interest in much of 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.000 anything happening in Kentucky. He says, blame Trump, blame Israel, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.720 Blame Epstein, blame the tragic death of a spouse. I 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.400 don't care, but you can't just wave away Massey from 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.080 twenty twenty, going face to face with the Trump machine 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.480 and winning in a route, only to get smoked six 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.480 years later. Massey's voters didn't really change all that much, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.680 but he did, and they noticed. I think that's right. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.280 In the end, Thomas Massey was like so many other 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.120 former Republicans suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. They initially leave 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.280 the party saying they just don't like Trump and won't 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.920 give up their principles, But then months or years later 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.160 they've given up their principles. They're sounding like radicalized Democrats. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.040 Have you checked in on Bill Crystal or Joonah Goldberg lately? 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.520 They sound like liberal Democrats now on everything and at 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:28.520 every turn. Their discipline conservatism evaporated as their Trump hatred grew. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.520 Did oh with Massey? His disciplined libertarianism, if he ever 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.880 had it, evaporated as his Trump hatred grew. That's why 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.760 this term derangement syndrome really is accurate. When it comes 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.920 to Trump haters. They start by insisting that they aren't 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.160 the one who's changing that all the rest of us 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.840 in their party are changing because of Trump, and then 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.680 months years later they're talking like aoc OR chairman MAO 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.600 and refusing to support any Republican in any manner. But 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.280 it's worth pointing out that Trump's victories on Tuesday weren't 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.280 limited to taking Thomas Massey off the board. Also in Kentucky, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.160 his endorsed candidates won their primaries for both the House 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.000 and the Senate. Andy Barr is a congressman who left 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.760 the House to run for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat in fall, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.560 and he won his primary as a strong Trump supporter 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.840 with the Trump endorsement. The guy Trump endorsed to replace 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.880 Barr in the House also won his primary. His name 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.880 is Ralph Alvarado, who was the first Hispanic lawmaker in 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.160 that state. Meanwhile, over in Georgia, Trump's influence was also evident, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.280 as Brad Roethensberger came in third in a primary for 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.240 governor in a race that he was expected to win. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.160 If Roethensberger's name sounds familiar, it's because as Georgia's Secretary 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.040 of State, he defended the twenty twenty election results against 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.480 Trump's accusations of cheating and turned himself into a Trump enemy. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.240 So this guy goes from a top statewide elected official 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.840 in Georgia to unemployed next year because he refused to 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.839 take accusations of election irregularities seriously. And some of those 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.720 election irregularities in Georgia, by the way, have been proven 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.240 to be real since it's taken years, but investigations into 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.160 twenty twenty fraud in states like Joe Georga in California 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.680 had been proven since, not that the Democrats and the 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.959 Trump haters will admit it. They still don't want to 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.240 look at the clear evidence that twenty twenty was a 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.720 sloppy and unfair election. But the evidence does exist, and 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.120 so all these Republicans learned the hard way, don't cross Trump. Now, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.360 let's be clear about how all of these men were 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.040 targeted as part of a personal and political vendetta that 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.520 Donald Trump had against them. They weren't necessarily targeted because 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.560 removing them from their seats would make the Republican Party stronger, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.640 or it was smart in that regard. It's a mixed bag. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.240 I'm seeing and hearing all sorts of Republican insiders insisting 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.040 that Trump's vendettas are making it harder for Republicans to 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.400 keep seats and move their agenda. That's only the case 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.160 in a few instances. The truth is nearly all of 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.680 these men that Trump's influence helped kick out of office 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.640 are in safe red districts that are very likely going 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.520 to be won by their Republican primary replacement. And so 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.120 if like Massy or Bill Cassidy, they were holding seats 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.760 that could have and should have helped Republicans and Trump 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.080 pass legislation in Washington, DC, but they were refusing to 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.800 vote for the party or be helpful to it, any 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.960 replacement is an upgrade. But if they were otherwise solid 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.400 lawmakers who Trump just didn't like personally, then shoving them 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.360 out could harm the party strategically. And out of all 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.920 the recent wrangling and Trump influence, I can only see 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.400 one clear instance in which Trump's meddling might hurt the 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.000 party both numbers wise in DC and with lawmakers who 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.680 are helpful to the party. I think Trump's endorsement of 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.880 Bill Paxton in the Senate primary in Texas against sitting 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.880 Senator John Cornyn is dumb. Cornyan has been a very 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.800 good Conservative senator. He's voted along with the Trump agenda 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.080 basically at every turn. He doesn't have any of the 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:41.120 ethical problems Paxton has with Trump's targeting of John Cornyn. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.520 Who will hold that important Senate seat becomes more of 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.760 a question. And I know it's Texas, but you can't 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.720 automatically assume the Republican, any Republican will win in Texas. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.720 Remember Trump's moved to medal in the Georgia Senate race 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.000 was based on the same thing. This is in twenty 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.680 twenty two. It ended with the GOP picking a crummy 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.920 crackpot in the primary, who then lost to the ridiculous 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.160 Rafael Warnock in the general election. In Georgia. Right now, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.400 there is a Senate seat that should be in Republican hands, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.560 but isn't because Trump and his mega members tampered too much. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.360 Since we're on politics, let's switch to the Democrats. Clear 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.679 need to cheat and rig the game any way they 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.520 can in order to win folks. Gavin Newsom's cryptic comment 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.600 about how he and the California Democrats can ensure that 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.800 two Republicans don't end up winning their jungle primary runoff 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.320 should be alarming and concerning to everyone. If you're listening 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.400 to this podcast, I assume you know what a jungle 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.040 primary is. It's a system in which you don't have 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.360 primary runoffs by party. Everyone who wants the seat just 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:44.080 runs in one large primary. Republicans, Democrats, Green Party candidates, Socialists, independence, whatever, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.720 They're all piled into the same group, and then the 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.480 top two vote getters advanced to the general election. This year, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.760 since Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and lefty lawmakers in 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.280 California have been so genuinely awful at running that state, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.000 refusing to allow people to rebuild their while f or wildfires, etc. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.840 Because Democrat governance has been so dreadful in California that 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.400 it's even angered a big chunk of Democrats there this year, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.959 there's a chance that two Republicans could end up finishing 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.800 in the top two in that primary. So a reporter 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.840 asked Gavin Newsom what his reaction would be to that happening, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.320 and his response was, basically, it won't happen. We, meaning Democrats, 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.320 have a way to rig things, so it doesn't. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.400 We all have agencies we can shape the future. I've 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.880 said this before, Saul repeated, I don't anticipate this need 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.680 to be the case, But there is a blank break 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.120 the glass scenario, and there's many people that have a 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.760 deep understanding what it would look like if Democrats were 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.760 locked out, and we're going to do everything to make 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:42.680 sure that doesn't happen. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.880 Newsom made it clear that quote behind the scenes, efforts 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.520 were being made to ensure two Republicans don't finish on top. Now, 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.160 come on, that's election tampering. As Ted Cruz put it, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.560 He's literally declaring war on the voters. And you might 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.400 think that goes too far. It doesn't not. If Gavin 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.560 Newsom and the leaders who controlled the the state are 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.160 working to ensure that the voter's wishes aren't followed, what 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.720 is that other than election tampering. Even a few other 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.920 leftists out there in California raised an eyebrow and said 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.400 it'd be nice if Newsom would tell us to what 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.800 lengths he's willing to go here to ensure a Democrat wins, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.120 because that sounds illegal. And what's he talking about here, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.480 Ted Cruz said in his podcast, understand what he is 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.680 saying to the voters. If you pesky voters vote Republican, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.000 he will quote break the glass and rig the results. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.000 Newsom said we have the agencies, we have the power. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.640 There are break the glass scenarios if Republicans win. Cruse said, 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.760 he's literally declaring war on the voters. This is Democrats 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.360 gone wild. And Gavin Newsom, Abigail Spanberger, Kamala Harris, they're 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.320 all doing the same thing. They're freaking out, they're panicking, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.560 and they're saying, we got to keep changing the rules 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.640 so that under no circumstances is it possible that we lose. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.360 And Cruse said, those actions are dangerous and cynical and 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.840 assault on the constitution and assault on democracy. And this 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.560 is where today's Democrat are. He's absolutely right, of course, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.600 and the rest of us need to push back on it. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.160 Across the political spectrum. The rest of us need to 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.520 push back on this sort of talk and these sorts 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.480 of actions. It's interesting to hear Ted Cruz also say 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.440 this is today's Democrat party, this is where today's Democrats 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.600 are now, because I've been using that phrase for a 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.120 few years now as we've talked about this socialist anti 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.520 America creep that's been going on in the left. Today's 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.600 Democrat Party is being run by a bunch of people 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.359 who now pretend to be the ones to defend democracy, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.880 and yet they're the ones who are talking constantly about 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:39.240 destroying democracy, ignoring the constitution, ignoring the law, destroying democracy 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.640 so that they can have a sort of dictatorial control 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.640 over this country in which they never lose another election. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.560 It's all so dishonest and there's so much game playing, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.600 and in a way. The next topic on the stack 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.000 is related the ridiculous and idiotic attempt to smear Wisconsin 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.480 GOP candidate Tom Tiffany with the who won the twenty 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.400 twenty question been following this, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel trots 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.600 out this question out of nowhere. Again. It's nothing more 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.880 than a trap question that the Democrats have been using 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.080 since twenty twenty to try to frame any Republican candidate 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:16.240 as extreme and ridiculous in anti democracy, anti and unwilling 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.919 to stand up to Trump. And it doesn't matter what 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.680 the Republican's answer is to the question, because the leftists 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.080 and their media minions have been really good. It's just 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.919 simply spinning it anyway they want to spin it. This 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.040 is exactly what happened here, and that's exactly what happened 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.800 here this week. Tom Tiffany was asked about word of 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.679 the FBI looking into the twenty twenty election in Wisconsin 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.720 and no one knows what they're looking at or how 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.560 it might turn out, and Tom Tiffany gave a perfectly 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.200 reasonable answer. He basically said, I don't know what they're 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.000 looking into, but I'm not against them looking which led 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.720 to the claims of Tom Tiffany won't admit Joe Biden 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.199 won the twenty twenty election, Tom Tiffany won't say if 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.000 the election was fair. Tom Tiffany won't stand up to Trump. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.320 Good grief, it's all the same old gotcha nonsense, and 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.359 it doesn't matter one bit. No, it doesn't even matter 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.480 to voters. Some of the left are really invested in 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.240 this smear though, as a way to trash Republican candidates 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.560 for office. They want to use it as a litmus 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.800 test as to how loyal this person is to Donald 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.119 Trump or how cowardly is he. He won't stand up 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.760 to Trump. It's all bull crap. My advice to Tom 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.199 Tiffany and every other Republican candidate would be come up 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.439 with a response that shuts down the question completely. The 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.600 way questions about twenty twenty should be answered is you're 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.360 just looking to twist any response I give. We can 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.000 all have our own opinions on the results in twenty twenty, 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.399 it's six years in the past. Next question, That's how 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.199 I'd answered it, and any reporter attempted to follow up 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.560 would be next question, That's how I'd answered it. None 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:48.480 of that matters anymore. Next question, and BOYD does that response? 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.280 Are the leftists and the Trump haters? I know because 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.359 that's the response I gave on X this week, and 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.119 whoo it had the leftists wanting to argue with me. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.840 My initial post was this question has become a silly 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.399 misstest for lefty activists and Trump haiters. The truth is 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.080 the Democrats have never ever wanted to look into a 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.040 potential fraud in any of our elections, and they try 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.919 to bully everyone into silence anytime accusations or cheating or 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.920 irregularities are made. They try to bully the masses into 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.919 silence on any claim of election fraud. And this has 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.919 been going on for many decades, so twenty twenty is 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.639 just the most prominent and most recent example of it. Really, 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.080 the entire country knows the twenty twenties election was sloppy 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.879 and not secure. I don't care what you think of 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.000 the result or who won. Everyone in this country knows 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.959 that twenty twenties election was sloppy and not secure. It 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.959 was a last minute mail and disaster. And so it's 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.760 the ultimate test for these Democrats, who by God want 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.119 to bully everyone into saying it was fair. This is 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.240 an even bigger effort than trying to get everyone to say, 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.240 Caitlyn Jenner is a beautiful woman. Remember that fiasco. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:51.840 Say it. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.520 You gotta say it, Caitlyn Jenner is a beautiful woman. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.920
