WEBVTT - 1-14-26 Ken Broo in for Willie 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.280 I wonder if I could get it on that thousand dollars. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:12.920 I got some stuff I got to do. Do you 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.200 think I'm eligible for that day? Probably not. Hey, welcome 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.040 on in. It's the average American in for the great 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.040 American on this Wednesday. We are more than thrilled that 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.080 you are with us. I say that and I mean it, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.120 because without you, what would I be? I would be 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.440 one man sitting in a room by myself, babbling, and 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.480 I would not have to leave home to do that. Well, 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.519 the news is all over the place today, isn't it. 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.879 Iran is blowing up. It looks like they're going to 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.239 execute a very high profile individual over there who is 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.040 the leader of their resistance movement. Meanwhile, tens of thousands 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.400 of people on accluding to some reports, have already been 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:53.280 executed in response to the uprisings that we've seen in Iran. Meanwhile, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.800 back close to the home, the Homeland Security Department told 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.960 the website Just the News that millions dollars of cash 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.839 have been leaving not just the Minneapolis Airport, but also 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:11.200 John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November of twenty twenty three. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.720 Millions of dollars in bulk cash and where is it 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.880 headed Well, typically, according to the HSA, typically they go 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.759 to Minneapolis, drop off the cash, and then a subsequent 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:28.760 courier travels aboard from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam. The 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.840 officials say that they have uncovered a massive cash movement 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.280 that gathered money for multiple Somali immigrants in communities in 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.760 the West like Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis, and is being 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.640 sent back to Somalia. Of course, if you're the governor 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.480 of Ohio, as your spokespersonan said last week, it's fraud. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.120 Is just the cost of doing business. And meanwhile, of 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.440 course we're waiting on the Supreme Court to rule on 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.720 Trump's tariffs. Trump is in Michigan or wa was yesterday 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.680 flipping off a worker. The worker apparently has been suspended. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.800 A lot of stuff going on, And when a lot 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.239 of stuff goes on, we turn to someone who has 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.520 one of the finest political minds of our time, someone 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.919 whose mind is so honed in on politics that it's 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.040 impossible sometimes to get him to join us on this 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.680 radio show because he researches, he dives into materials so deeply. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.520 It's very often that he comes up but Anthony Russo 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.400 has come up on this Wednesday and he's joining us 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.760 here now on seven hundred W. Well w and Anthony Russo, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.840 how are you on this glorious Wednesday? 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.520 Gosh, you're really fluffing my muffin before I get on 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:40.280 the air, aren't you. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.800 I don't know what kind of muffins you like, boy, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.240 but I'll get him for you. You just tell me. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.240 How well man? I'm all right, I'm doing pretty good. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:49.760 How you doing? 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.560 Here's what I don't understand. Trump's trying to get stuff done. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.680 And Trump's not a politician. We know Trump doesn't kiss, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.040 but we know that Trump does it his way or 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.400 it's the highway. Of course, it ruffles feathers. But I 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:07.360 can't ever remember the Republican Party in my lifetime being 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.680 as much of an obstructionist party as the Democrat Party 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.840 is now and frankly has been for the last ten 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.320 or twelve years. Can you? 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.080 No? Definitely not. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.040 But again, like you said, he ruffles some feathers, and 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.600 fact is there is the question is is there really 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.440 one party? Is there two parties? Is there three parties? 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.400 Is there this Thomas Matthews of the world? Is he 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:36.120 separate as the America. First, there is a major dissension 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.560 in what is the Conservatives and what is the Rhinos 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.440 at this point, and the Rhinos are just part of 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.920 the Democrat Party, and I think we're exposing that now. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.760 Am I saying that this is the area that I 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.080 like what Trump is doing. I think he's exposing just 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.560 the complete fracture and all political parties. There are some 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.480 things he could be doing better, but in this case 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.240 what we are seeing especially, I think that you're leaning 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.720 towards the direction of the the ACA and the Obamacare 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.040 and how you know, the Conservatives and the Republicans have caved. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.040 But he is somebody that is at least trying to 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.520 push the metal and figure out who is truly America. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.680 Ferson who is not well. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.400 I've often said I might have said it to you 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.400 that in Washington, d c. Every Democrat is a Democrat, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.920 but not every Republican is a Republican. And there are 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.600 some weak need Republicans and we know who they are. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.160 I mean, it's every time a boat comes up and 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.919 they have to attach their name to it, they go 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.240 running for the shadows. But my point in all of 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:35.960 it is is, yeah, I do think that there are 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.400 a number of different factions, and I think Trump's base 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.000 is a strong, solid base, both with the country and 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.400 inside the Beltway in Washington, d C. But it's not 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.440 big enough, and I don't know how you build on that. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.880 I just saw a poll that came out two or 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.000 three days ago, I believe Gallup did it, that there 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.760 are now more declared independents in this country than there 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.480 are members of the rept Publican party. And Trump needs 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.560 independence to get elected. He needed them desperately in twenty 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.800 twenty four, and he got them. We can argue about 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.599 the twenty twenty election all we want. He didn't win. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.280 I mean, in essence, he didn't wind up in the 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.680 White House in twenty twenty. I'm just wondering, is this 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.440 bull in the China closet that he is is that 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:28.760 winning over independence enough to not only keep his agenda alive, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.080 but also to keep his successor alive in twenty twenty eight, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.520 And that would be I would think jd Vance alive 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.760 in the sense that he would be a candidate that 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.680 could get elected. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.200 What do you think I actually think Trump. Trump's hurting 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.400 jd Vance's cause. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.440 The cool part about the fact that we are moving 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.960 to a country full of independence, is the fact that 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.240 we are realizing how broken our political system is. The 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.640 problem is the Democrats and the Republicans still hold so 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.000 much power that they will not be able to rely 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.599 linquish the fact that we, as an American base, probably 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:09.440 fifty percent or more at this point, know that our politicians, 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.880 our political system is broken beyond repair and needs a 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:13.839 complete reformation. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.280 Now. When it comes to Trump and. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.880 The way that he is in the way that he 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.400 is influencing the independence is based on his rhetoric, and 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.120 his rhetoric is still very, very very poor. His explanation 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.000 of some of the actions are very poor, his unwillingness 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.600 to at knit sometimes that things are not perfect under him, 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.599 or that there might be a fault. It hurts the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.400 independence belief system on the current Republican party. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:39.760 So it does hurt Jade Vance. 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.599 I think as a country, it puts us in a 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.719 position that we need to start relooking at the whole system. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.520 Problem is, how do you fix the system where the 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.039 people that need to fix it are the ones that 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.360 are also in charge. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.560 Exactly, and to fold it back to Trump, Trump was 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.080 viewed as a disruptor in twenty sixteen. He's still that. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.800 I mean, if you look at it the way he 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.480 goes about it, you know he's at odds with people 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.880 in his own party that sit in the Senate and whatnot. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.400 But to do what you're talking about, it would take 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.600 a disruptor. Everybody thought Obama was that, and he really wasn't. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.600 He was a divider, certainly, but a disruptor can also 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.240 be a unifier. So I don't know who's out there 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.680 that would be palatable to this country as a unifier 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.400 as well as a disruptor because people buy and large 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.960 and I put myself in that category as well. People 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.320 don't like change. I think they want I don't think 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.480 they want drama from that particular area of government, the Senate, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.280 the House. They don't want drama, but they certainly don't 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.560 want change. So how do you get change if you 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.320 don't have a disruptor that goes in there. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:44.280 No, that's true. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.280 But there's a way to be a disruptor and not 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.000 a divider, and he is being a little bit of both. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.760 I'll be very honest, and I think things are a 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.120 little bit different in the second term than I think 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.440 in the first term. I think people had hope, the 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.000 hope for change. That's why he won this in twenty two, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.960 twenty four. But again the hope would be be the 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.800 disruptor and then leave away the comments on people like 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.240 Rob Reiner because I know it sounds small, and nobody 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.760 cares about Rob Reiner across the board, especially conservatives. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:13.480 He's a piece of crap. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.480 We didn't like him, but there was no need to 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.600 tread on his grave, and those little words affected a 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.600 voting base to say, man, maybe this guy really is 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.120 the jerk that the other side thought he was. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.840 So it's the little things. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.080 And of course when you don't have the media on 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.920 your side, it's going to keep getting blown up and 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.240 blown up and blown up. So he has to be 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.400 delicate on certain areas, be harsh and disruptive on others. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.000 But when it comes to the humanity conversation, he needs 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.000 to be a little bit more tactical, and he has 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.440 lost that tactical ability in this presidency. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.720 So yes, disruptor is good. Jade Vance. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.760 His words are very disruptive when he follows up on 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.400 stuff like the ice shooting. What he is being disruptive 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.440 yet at the same time logical and hard to take 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.960 from a non humane perspective. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.000 He's being exactly what we need. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.360 And the problem is Will Trump's not middle ground rhetoric 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.640 hurt JD and hurt the country in the end, because, 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.880 like I said, we're not going to miraculously be able 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.240 to switch to a third party. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:12.560 We're not going to realize that. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.640 Unfortunately, big money, pharmaceuticals, all these run our government to 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.400 the point where they can't actually make any real change. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.319 We're not going to be able to do that theoretically 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.760 in the next four years, so we're still going to 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.360 need somebody like a Jdvans to hold on. Otherwise, we've 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.559 got Governor Newsom that's going to be the heir apparent 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.560 that completely will flip this country on the one way 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.640 train to democratic socialism. And that is a scary, scary 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.280 Venezuelan type thought. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.280 Yet they're the GOP right now, I think is overpopulated 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.800 with people who believe that Ronald Reagan is coming back 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.440 from the dead and he's going to resurrect the party 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.320 along with him, and it will be Reagan Republicans in 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.360 charge in running this country. And I say to people 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:00.760 that say that that boat sailed, that the person that 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.040 is going to run this country next is going to 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.080 be like Trump in the sense that they're a populist. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.360 People's party identification, I think, and this is particularly I 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.200 think with the under forty crowd, I think their political 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.920 identification identification is not as strong as it is maybe 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.520 for boomers and whatever may be left to the greatest generation. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.600 I think it's going to be a populist. It's going 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.360 to be somebody like Trump that is going to be 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.680 this disruptor that we're talking about. And this is where 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.360 I have trouble with with with Trump. I don't think 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.880 he realizes that his legacy can live on if he 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.040 just play it a little different. I don't know who's 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.440 in his ear telling him to be this way, but 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.800 he could get a lot done. He's certainly never going 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.600 to get it done with the media. The media in 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.760 this country, particularly at that level, is as corrupt as 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.920 I've ever seen it. And I spent forty five years 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.120 in local television. The media is as corrupt as I've 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.040 ever seen it. In Washington, DC. They all want to 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.760 get Trump. It filters down, oftentimes to the local level, 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.640 and then because of that, he can't get his message out. 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.120 First it was Epstein files. Now you know what's coming next. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.640 It's going to be Obamacare subsidies, then it's going to 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.880 be funding for ice, and we're headed right to another 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.480 government shutdown here in a couple of weeks. So why 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.880 doesn't he who's in his ear that's telling him to 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.440 be as belligerent as he is because it's counterproductive in 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:28.160 so many ways? 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.960 Completely agree, And honestly, I don't think he has anybody 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.000 in his ear that says any because I think people 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:36.640 are afraid of him. 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.199 You see what he does. You see how he. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.400 Turns his back on probably one of the best people 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:47.280 in Congress, Thomas Massey, like if you disagree, or even 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.320 Marjorie Taylor Green, not saying she was the best in 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.560 any way, shape or form, but she was somebody that 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.280 actually stood out and was a disruptor. But if you 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.280 go against Trump, he turns it. He doesn't He doesn't 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.760 have that bone in his body and his brain to 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.000 just realize that you can agree to disagree, you can 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.560 fight back and forth. And I'm afraid that's what happened. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.480 What's happening with jd Vance that maybe you know jd 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.640 Vance is brilliant. I would love to know the conversations 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.120 that go on. Is jd Vance suggesting something else and 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.800 Trump isn't listening, or is jd Vance even afraid to 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:20.600 suggest something? 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.200 I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.160 exactly who's in his ear. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.240 But honestly, I think Trump does what Trump wants and 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.600 in some ways it works. Like what's going I'll be 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.240 very brief, but what's going on with Greenland? I think 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.520 that he's pushing this envelope, pushing, pushing, pushing. It looks ridiculous. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.360 I think he is overshooting the runway so that he 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.360 can get a deal made where he still has very 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.600 strategic ties to Greenland. Same thing with the Supreme Court 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.640 ruling that's coming up today on tariffs. He knows that 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.480 he's pushing the envelope, probably too much, but he's trying 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.480 to test the waters to see how much he really 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.040 needs congressional approval. He'll still get the tariffs done. He 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.160 just has to go a different way if this gets 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:57.760 shot down. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:58.559 He's doing. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.440 He's being very intelligent in some ways, but it's the 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:02.360 rhetoric of the speech. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.600 We're chatting with Anthony Russo. He is be the change. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.720 That's where you can find him. Also, the truth will 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.800 set you free. The truth will always set everyone free. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.160 If the Democrats take back the House, are you convinced 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.600 as I am, that their first order of business will 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.480 not be anything to help the country. It will be 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.720 how do we get Trump? Finally get Trump? Get Trump. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.360 I guarantee you the day after the election, if the 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.480 Dems take the House, they'll start impeaching. They'll start an 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.000 impeachment process against Donald Trump. I lay I'll lay any 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.360 amount of money on that. Right now. They don't want 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.600 to improve the country. They just want to finally get 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.960 Trump and they haven't been able to do it. Do 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.760 you have any doubt that the day after this coming election, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.960 if the Democrats take the House, first order of business 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.120 impeach Trump. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.720 I mean, I wouldn't vet my life savings on it, 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.199 but it would be smart for them for the twenty 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.160 twenty eight election, it would be it would be the 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.080 intelligent place. Again, it's all politics. They don't care about 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.520 the country. It's the fact that now they can continue 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.120 to say how broken the Republican Party is, how broken 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.920 the MAGA group is, and how ridiculous the people are 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.280 in this country that voted for him. They can use 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.760 the invasion of Venezuela. They can impeach for a bunch 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.920 of different reasons on very very very very very loose ground, 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.760 which will start the proceedings, and all they will use 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.760 it as is a bargaining chip for the twenty twenty 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.280 eight election. The media will run with it and say again, 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:31.440 impeached again, criminal, terrible, horrible, horrible, So yes, again, what 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.160 I bet my life savings? No, but I do think 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.000 that that would be the smart play for them, because 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:35.800 that's how they play. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.840 And in your opinion, how much on life support is 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.560 the GOP in this upcoming November election, both in the 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.560 House and the Senate. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.960 We'll look at the poly market. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.000 Polymarket's saying it's going to be a full control by 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.480 it with a percentage of eighty three percent right now, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.840 eighty three percent chance it goes full blue. So, just 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.120 based on the fact that the poly market was pretty 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.840 dang accurate and the twenty twenty four election, they're pretty 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.040 good at judging these things. In the status that we 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.720 are at right now, where we are sitting, I would 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.680 say that the chances are that it's going to go 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.000 blue across the board. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.640 So okay, So if you're if you're Johnson in the House, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.800 if you're throwing in the Senate, if you're Trump in 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.720 the White House, who if you are leading the RNC 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.600 right now, I don't even know who it is. But 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.520 if you're leading the RNC right now, you have to 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:25.720 know that too. What are you doing? 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.760 Like we just said before, Somebody's got to get in 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.520 Trump's here and just basically change the rhetoric. And they 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.720 also have to find a way to start coming together more. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.720 I think Johnson Johnson is just getting shot down at 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.360 all levels. And unfortunately, you've got the Lindsay Grahams of 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.880 the world that are actually agreeing with Trump. And I 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.920 know that sounds weird for me to say, like a 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.440 Republican visits, shouldn't it be a good thing. No, You've 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.640 got these old, these old school Republicans that a lot 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.160 of us have disliked for a very long period of 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.960 time that are now siding with the current administration, which 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.200 makes it look even worse, which therefore lose. This is 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.800 the independence that wanted to go against that version but 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.200 still would vote for Trump and still would vote that way. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.440 And we're seeing that the that the current Republican status 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.080 without without proper leadership. And again, I do think Johnson 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.680 has its good points, but he's also weak in a 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:15.280 lot of areas. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.280 He's not the leader that they need. Thune, I think 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.600 is a little stronger. But that's a different conversation for 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.200 a different day. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.560 I think that they need to be discussing a way 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:27.000 to galvanize the base outside of politics and continue to 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.800 step further away from the big federal government stronghold that 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.920 Trump in some ways is still sticking to, and find 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.960 a way to at least advertise that they are trying 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.080 to go back to a small, small style government, right. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.760 Right, and and the and the media will not run 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.800 with that because they will say that it doesn't matter 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.760 what happens with Thune, with Johnson or what they're trying 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:52.000 to do. The overarching influences Donald Trump. And I think 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.080 that's the I think that's probably the vote that that 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.120 party is in right now. Would you agree? 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.280 I would agree, Yeah. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.160 Good, Well, let's go. Well we end on an agreement 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:02.960 for crying out loud, that's a good day for us. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.399 How do people find you, Anthony? There's a lot of 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.320 people that want to find you. I know this. How 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.160 do they find you? Are you are you going back 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.320 undercover again? No? 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.520 No, I mean you can always find me. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.439 I actually even did a little political stuff on my 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.199 personal page, even though I try to avoid it. But 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.920 at Anthony Michael Russo on Instagram and at Truth will 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.160 Set You Free USA on Instagram is the best way 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:22.560 to find me. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.320 Well, Anthony Michael Russo. As always, we thank you for 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.400 your time, stay well. Yours is a voice we need 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:30.920 to hear. Thanks for the insight today. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.040 I appreciate your brother. Take it easy, all right? 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:39.760 There he is. I think he makes great points. Lighting 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.280 up Francis is what I'd be telling Trump right now, 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.840 if indeed he wants to keep this party on track. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.480 And if I'm the Democrats, man, I'm looking my I'm 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.960 looking my chops about November right now. But I guarantee 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.880 you it doesn't It doesn't matter how many they get 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.440 in or what the majority is in in in November, 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.560 their first order business. We know what it is already, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.800 get Trump, Stop Trump, Impeach Trump. That is box number 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.680 one they're going to check in November. Why we've seen 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:14.480 this movie before twelve twenty six on this Wednesday. It's 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.880 the average American in for the great American News Radio 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:22.119 seven hundred WLW. Welcome Back, seven hundred WLW. Is the 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.480 average American in for the great American on this glorious Wednesday. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.719 Wherever you are, however you're listening, whether it's by this 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.480 great medium called terrestrial radio or on the iHeartRadio app, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.320 we welcome you in. Coming up at one oh six. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.600 The Supreme Court was supposed to rule on the Trump 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.000 tariffs today. They did not. They were supposed to rule 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.280 on it last week. They did not. So it makes 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.199 one wonder about whether or not this is going to 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.199 be a clear cut up or down for Trump and 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.879 his tariffs. It sounds like, as a guest said on 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.560 my show over the weekend, they may be trying to 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:03.080 split the baby here. Maybe uh, stop Trump with his tariffs, 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.680 but allow him to keep the money he's already collected. 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.800 Maybe do it on a case by case basis. I 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.719 don't know, but apparently the ruling on this is at 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.840 least one more day away. Anyway, at one oh six, 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.200 we're going to be talking with someone who understands the 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.840 ramifications for you, for me about these tariffs. It's not 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.119 just some big, urinating contest between Trump and all of 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.919 these other countries. They have a direct effect on you 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.359 and me and the amount of money you and I 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.120 can bring in in any given year or two our families. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.880 We'll get into that at one o six two oh six. 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:40.840 Today Iran is blowing up, and they're not only shooting 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.840 protesters over there, they being the government, the people that 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.520 are in charge of that country, the clerics, the quote 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:51.240 unquote holy men over there are not only shooting these protesters. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.840
