You 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.720 can find her on x at Scotty Inn Hughes Scotty 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.400 nol Hughes. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.800 Welcome, Welcome, Johnny, And did anybody ever tell you that 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.239 you have a great face for radio and a great 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.080 voice for TV. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.040 You get to mix it now both together. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.720 Well, we're trying our best. What can I say. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.440 I like it. The more Johnny the better. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:54.120 So the betting markets have you currently is a twenty 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.600 two to one favorite to be the next Press secretary 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.200 for the White House. As it so happens, I'm going 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.760 to the state of Nevada tomorrow. Maybe I'll lay a 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:04.360 bet down. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.120 Well, I mean, the whole title of the show is 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.359 you're pushing Spencer Pratt, So I feel like I'm kind 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.600 of like the underdog coming on the show. I'm like 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.280 the second best. I'm the backup quarterback for this whole event. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.400 So you know, maybe maybe eighty percent Spencer Pratt, twenty 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.359 percent me. And we all know since Donald Trump and 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.160 Johnny you know this that guy do, since he is 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.119 a betting man, I guarantee he's watching to see who 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.280 wins in these markets. 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.200 So I'll take all the help I can get in this. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.480 In this job interview, I'll. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.560 Tell you I think the nature of that job has 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.760 changed over time, because back in the old days, I 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.840 think it was just not necessarily an adversarial job, but 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.960 it's a job where you took information that the government 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.320 was putting out and you were able to answer questions 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.320 that people in the press had about that information. And 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:57.400 it was mostly used for clarification purposes and for I guess, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:03.240 getting the message out and getting whatever information and facts 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.200 that the White House thought would push their narrative. Get 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.080 that to the press so the press could use it 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.680 in their articles, they could use it in their broadcasts. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.400 Now it seems like those events have become television shows 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.279 in and of themselves, where the star from the press 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.479 corps is whoever it is that's the most adversarial to 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.400 the administration, and there's a sparring match that goes on 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:34.240 between that individual or those individuals and the press secretary. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.799 We saw that in Trump one point zero with Jim Acosta, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.480 our former colleague over at CNN, and Kaylee Mcaninny, another 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.080 former colleague of bars over at CNN, when those two 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.719 would go at it and Sean Spice or and others. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.720 And then during the Biden years, it was Jensaki, come 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.080 to think of it, another colleague of ours from CNN 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.159 who would go at it with Peter Deucey from the 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:01.240 Fox News Channel. And now it's like casting call to 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.919 find out, Okay, who's going to be the one to 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.760 go at it with Caitlin Collins, another one of our 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.880 colleagues from CNN this time around. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.680 No, you're correct, and let me point out, as someone 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.520 who majored in journalism growing up, White House press secretary 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.839 was always, you know, one of those dream jobs that 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.880 you usually achieved, like Dana Pirno did in her thirties 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.039 and her forties. It was an informative position. I think 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.080 twenty thirty years ago. It was when the preseecretary stepped up. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.440 She was to deliver information coming. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.520 Out of the Oval Office. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.680 Now, as you said, the position has evolved, especially when 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.479 you have someone like Donald Trump who is constantly putting 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.719 out very much unprecedented material. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.200 You become more like. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.520 I'd say, a defensive linebacker for the president. And that's 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.479 how the press likes it. And in the past the 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.119 press might have been on your same team. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.360 There is nobody in that room. I don't care, even 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.200 if you do put. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.919 People in there from the new media to kind of 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.040 help out. In reality, you are still having to act 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.839 today as someone who is a source, respect it for information, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.000 so you still have to deliver it, but you also 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.080 have to be able to push back on your adversarial 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.240 media that mainly takes up that room. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.680 One of the things that Trump has done, not just 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.000 this time around, but last time around, but more so 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.080 this time around, is he poached a lot of people 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:24.640 from conservative media to fill positions in his administration. And 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.520 if you have a job on Newsmax, or you have 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.920 a job on Fox, or you have a job at 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.840 the Daily Wire or whatever, you're mostly working with like 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:40.400 minded people for an audience of fellow travelers. What you 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.960 did at CNN and what I did at CNN when 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.039 we were both there at the same time, is a 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:51.840 little bit different. Where we were on the firing line 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.720 every time we'd go out there, where those panels were 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.719 all four or five to one, and they would try 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.159 to kill us for eight consecutive minutes, and then they'd 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:03.560 go try to sell some I don't know, a Cadillac. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.839 They tried to sell Cadillacs or pills for a rectile 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.400 dysfunction or whatever, and then they'd come back and then 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.640 they try to kill us again for another eight minutes. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.560 And it's a different skill set that you pick up 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.360 when you go into an environment that's let's just say, 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.160 not a home game as opposed to the home games 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.360 that people in conservative media would get over and over 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:26.160 and over again. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.960 Johnny, Look, you're speaking as if someone who's had a 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.720 first hand point of view first definitely a front row, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.200 if not on the action himself. Unfortunately most Republicans, most 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.080 conservatives don't realize that. Now you have to look at 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.720 this from President Donald Trump's position. As we all know, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.800 he is someone that comes from has a background of 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.560 entertainment of information, but more importantly, he is someone that 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:49.600 likes to attract attention. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:50.560 He is going to look. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.640 For somebody to go into this position that is not 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.080 going to be I think that was part of Sean 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.160 Spicer's problem. Sean had not been used to being in 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.800 combative media. He had been on and what I considered 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.440 to be in his own snow globe or Yeah, it's 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.720 really easy to go on Fox as the conservative. Now, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.120 it wasn't in the beginning to go on there as 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.320 a Trump person. In fact, ninety eight percent of Fox 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.680 was against Trump in the very beginning his first administration. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.160 But now you go on there, man, it is a 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:14.960 cake walk. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.880 What I look for, What are the President's going to need, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.640 especially going into the very adversarial midterms and post is 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.680 He's going to need somebody that has their claws sharpened, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.840 their information and are ready to be confident in their 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.320 material and ready to back him up, a true loyalist, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.560 because trust me, you're going to be hit from every 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.960 single which side. And if you are someone that has 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.720 not had any prep prep for this besides just I 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.120 don't know, maybe getting on Twitter and firing off an 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.079 AI generated response. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.240 You are not going to do well. They can say 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.600 that lawyers would be good in this position. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.520 I don't necessarily agree with that, because you're also going 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.720 to have to know President Trump's agenda, his history, and 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:55.480 what he wants to do. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:56.080 That's set of thing. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.520 A lot of these people in this administration are new 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.520 to President Trump. They're not familiar as much with the 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.600 last term because most of them are probably doing other 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.120 jobs at that point. Let's just be real. So you 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.040 need to have somebody that actually has an in depth 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.960 knowledge of President Trump and understands where they're going to 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:13.360 come at. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:14.760 And here's the other thing. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.840 The Press secretary, especially going into the final two years 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.680 of his administration, is going to have to almost be 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.800 the communication director as well for the next presidential campaign. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.520 They're going to have to set the tone of what 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:27.679 the Republican. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.320 Agenda is going to do, because whomever runs for president 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.640 twenty twenty eight that are by their name is truly 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.920 going to be running on this president's record and what 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.600 it did or did not do for the country. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.480 So you have two jobs right there. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.760 It's not only to defend what's going on in the president, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.920 but more importantly be able to continue to show to 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.560 the country why they need to keep the Trump and 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.319 whoever he picks a his successor in office moving forward. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:56.160 One of the reasons I think Trump was successful in 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.120 the last presidential election was that he was able to 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.200 utilize new media in a way that really worked for him, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.520 specifically the podcast he went on with The Undertaker, he 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.400 went on with Joe Rogan, he went on with Theo 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.800 Vaughn and others, and was able to get these populations 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.440 of people who may not be reliable voters to come 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.559 out and vote for him. And he won all seven 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.640 swing states, so the places that he was really targeting 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.840 it really worked out well for him. You look at 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.120 the Democratic side of the aisle and you see many 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.720 of those same qualities in the DSA candidates, where the 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.880 DSA candidates have been able to use the podcast, They've 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.319 been able to use social media, They've been able to 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.960 use new media to their advantage in so many different 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.720 races where I think, I'm not going to say it 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.320 provided the margin of victory for them, but it certainly 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:57.199 pushed those candidacies forward. The Democratic Party and the traditional 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:02.680 Democratic candidates, people like Chuck Schumer, Hakim Jeffries, and all 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.840 of the people that we would consider to be the 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.360 establishment in that party seem to be the ones who 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.640 have been left out. They seem to be the ones 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:15.000 that are a step or two behind not just President Trump, 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.280 but the DSA, and they've been stung many times, I 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.800 think in these primary elections because of it. Why do 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.920 you think they haven't gotten with the times. For a 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.240 party that considers itself to be cutting edge and youthful 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.920 and with the times, and you know all of that, 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.679 why do you think everyone else is leaving them in 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:34.240 the dust. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.079 Because I think there's a power struggle and a division 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.640 happening within the Democratic Party right now, a little bit 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.360 to what's happening in the Publican Party and the Democrats. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.800 They're not making it more open, they're doing it behind 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.439 the doors. But don't don't mistake the division is happening there. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.800 So you have this old guard that will not relinquish power, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.679 and they won't they won't do anything. They still want 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.679 to stand firm. They're still in such truck derangement syndrome 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.280 that they want to make sure that they're right and 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.960 they want to get there there. I'm sorry from the 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.120 American people, Well, guess what, it's not going to happen. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.439 And not only that, you're. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.520 Going to sacrifice the future of your party where you 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.920 do have the younger generation, and I hate to give 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.280 any of them credit, but I'm going to give it 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.920 somewhat where it's due. Who even though they don't really 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.120 have action behind their words, they know what to say 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.040 to speak to the American people. They know to talk 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.400 about gas prices and grocery prices and college funding and 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.040 taxes going up, and the lack of spinning on domestic 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.200 issues versus the international issues. Same thing's happening within the 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.640 Republican Party. And so you're seeing this younger generation saying, 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.960 you know what, fine, you don't want to include us 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.920 in your party, you don't want to respect us. More importantly, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.760 you don't want to retire and go fishing in your flannel. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.520 We're just going to go out on our own and we're. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.280 Going to form these absolute extreme wein rings that we 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.679 have right now that we're seeing pop up, and this 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.959 should be something that the Republicans should be watching as well. 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.880 We have just a strong of a younger group of 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.080 leadership within the Republican Party that they continue to be 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.319 ignored by the older generation, You're going to see them 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.800 start to separate as well. I think a good advantage. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.600 We still have the advantage more than the Democrats do 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.280 of being able to reach out to what that younger generation. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.640 Of Republican Party is looking for and talk to them. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.880 Really listen to them, and integrate that into our plans 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.280 moving forward. What is affecting our twenty thirty and forty 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.000 and I'm gonna put forty something year olds in there 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:22.439 as well. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.200 What are they having to do with right. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.640 Now that maybe these sixty seventy eight year olds that 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.120 are still in charge continuing to ignore. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.720 Talk to me about the strategy that the Democrats have 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.000 used with dealing with these DSA challenges in the primary. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:40.400 Because the DSA believes in really nutty things, including no borders, 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.720 get rid of the prisons, get rid of the cops, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:47.280 Medicare for all, defund Israel, a bunch of different things 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.080 that are way outside the mainstream and really shouldn't take 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.400 much in terms of an argument that you can use 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.760 to convince voters that they're not good for the country. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.280 But instead of going after these candidates for their nutty 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.280 ideas and saying, you know what, socialism is bad, capitalism 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.040 is better, this is why or this is why we 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.160 need a border, or this is why we need the 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.440 cops and jails. Instead of doing that, these Democrats are going, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.640 you know, with positions like that, you're not really electable, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.760 and god forbid we were to elect a moderate Republican 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.280 or someone with an R next to their name. All 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:31.760 of their attacks against the DSA relate to electability, and 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:36.560 they don't have a debate over the merits of their arguments. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.280 Why do you think they're so hesitant to do that. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.160 Because they don't have any actual credibility to go with it. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.960 I mean, you can only lie so much before your 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.160 nose grows so long you can't fit into a TV 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.920 frame anymore. And Democrats understand that. They know they can 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.160 only say so much in this day and age, especially 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.680 when we do have social media, when we do have 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.480 the ability to just take five seconds, do a quick 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.440 AI search and come up with the clip where they 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.360 said what they were going to do and they're doing 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.320 the exact opposite. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.600 That's why Democrats are very very careful. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.320 Right now to go on the record about how they're 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.520 going to achieve and they're not focusing on these radical ideas. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.680 You're right, that's exactly what they stand for. But what 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.680 they are counting on is low information voters. They are 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.240 counting on people not actually researching what they're standing for. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.960 What they're counting on is as people just watching the 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.920 commercials that says, we don't want to raise your gas tax. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.040 Is your electricity bill too high? 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:26.880 Is it? 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.840 Did you just bust a tire on your way to 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.440 work your third job where you're buying trying to get healthcare? 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.920 And the roads because the pothole in the roads were 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:36.400 so big. 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.960 That's what they're focusing on. Those are issues. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.400 Those are not just Democrat issues or Republican issues. Those 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.240 are people issues. Those are American issues, and yet Democrats 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.760 focus on that Republicans can't get their act together. Sometimes 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.320 to focus on that same issue and how we actually 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:53.760 achieve solutions for it. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.680 You notice they always say what the problem is. The 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:57.840 party that would come out. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.960 And actively say solutions and how they would achieve those 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.960 solutions to where it actually makes sense might have a 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.280 chance of not only getting elected, but more importantly accomplishing that. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.240 But once again, they're counting on people being too busy 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.760 working three or four jobs to afford healthcare and their 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.360 groceries to actually have the time to do the research 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.640 to pay attention to what those words actually mean. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.440 We know that DSA candidates are doing particularly well in 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:28.040 deep blue congressional districts, places where a Republican candidate in 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.120 the general just really doesn't have a chance. What do 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.920 you think is going to happen to these candidates who 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:38.840 are running in purple states, people like Abdul Alsayed in Michigan, 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.640 which is really a seat that the Democrats need to 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.320 win if they're going to win control of the Senate. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.520 I don't really see them winning the Senate without winning 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.560 that seat. Same thing goes for Minnesota, where they nominated 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.680 a very far left candidate for that seat. How do 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.840 you think those candidates will fare in places that vote 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.480 Republican and Democrat. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.160 Well, that's the thing, you know. You look about abdul See. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.480 That was a state that I think Donald Trump won 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:03.800 against Kamala Harris. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:04.160 By nine percent. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.480 At the same time, the reason why Donald Trump won 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.679 was because of the Muslim vote came over crossover and 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.040 voted for Trump that night because he talked to them 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.640 about bringing peace to the Middle East and the. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.000 Conflict going on with Iran. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.640 Well, at this point does look like that conflict resolutions 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.320 happening along Trump's line. So therefore you're seeing them go 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.680 back to the Democratic Party. That doesn't mean that they 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.200 can't come back into the Republican category. They just shift 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.040 based on who the candidate is. I don't know if 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.360 you've seen it, I'll say it. I hate to give 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.520 a Democratic compliment. He did a great commercial involving his 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.280 grandparents talrying about that's where he grew up. That is 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.360 the kind of messaging that people need to see from 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:47.920 the Republicans. A very basic, honest, warmhearted here's where I'm from, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.560 Here's what I want to do. Type of messaging. Republicans 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.560 have to do that in those states. Now, why did 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.840 he keep flipping back and forth? Well, it really just 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.000 has to do about who's more importantly pandering to that 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.879 voter base right now, not solid in Tennessee, we are 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.240 seeing a little bit of a changeover, but it's solidly read. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.800 Oklahoma where I am right now, solidly read. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.720 But you are seeing Democrats infiltrate the Republican Party and 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.680 a rebirth of what I like to call the Romney 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.119 Republicans are starting to come back. And there is a 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.560 fight happening, I think within the Republican Party between those 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.840 what used to be blue dog Democrats slash Romney Republicans 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.600 trying to re emerge and take advantage of any of 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.440 the frustrations that might be happening right now amongst American people. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.199 Have President Trump's actions not coming true, something that is 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.280 truly to be led at the feet of Congress right now, 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.520 that is not passing President Trump's Build America Back. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.200 Act, the America America Save America Now Act. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.399 So anybody, and let's just point out, Johnny, you know 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.080 this as much as I do, there is still a 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.560 very large contingency as much as they like to shake 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.320 hands and go to the White House and smile, that 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.359 do not like President Trump, that want nothing more to 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.040 see President Trump not succeed. And that's not the Democrats, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.920 that's the Republicans because they don't like the wing of 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.600 the party that President Trump represents because they could never 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:05.760 tap into it. 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.480 So they're going to do They might put. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.440 A smell on their face, but they are doing everything 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.880 behind the scenes to sabotage Republicans and that is where 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.320 we've got to step up, and we've got to see 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.280 some leadership within the party right now. And President Trump 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.760 has to know exactly what's going on within his Congress 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:21.840 and deal with it just like a parent would deal 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.639 with a child and ground all of them until they 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.520 got his legislation passed through. 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.360 Scotti Nel Hughes Las Vegas has her at twenty two 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.199 to one to be the next next Press secretary for 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.440 the White House.
