1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Warning you're about to enter the arena and join the

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: battle to save America with your host, Sean Parnell.

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: He he news right now.

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy was just ousted as the Speaker of the

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: House in this crazy knockdown, drag out fight on the

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: House floor to an emotion to vacate the Speaker of

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the House.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: It's it's it's an historic vote.

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Really, I'm frustrated for a lot of reasons, but we'll

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: get into that in a second. Today, I'm super psyched.

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: I've got Rich Barris, the Great and Savage Rich Barris

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: coming on the show very very shortly to break down

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: all the insider baseball. And of course you love Rich Barris.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: If you're if you if you're in the trenches in

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the platoon as part of this show, then you know

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Rich Bear as well. And I know he's a favorite

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: of all of yours. So we're really psyched to have him.

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're if you're a follower

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: of Rich Bear, just make sure to subscribe to my channel,

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Battleground Live. And if you're here as part of Parnell's platoon,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: make sure that you subscribe to Rich Barris's channel.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: The people's pundit on Rumble. We're both on Rumble.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: We both like each other, we're both army guys, so

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: we both believe sort of the same things. And I

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: think Rich agreed to come on the show like maybe

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: once a week, once every two weeks, so again we're

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: building something special. Rich Barris will be here to react

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: to all this crazy, crazy how speaker stuff here in

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I want to just jump right

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: into it. I told you at the top of the

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: hour that I am a little bit frustrated with all this.

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: And I am.

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, if you followed me from in either of

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: my political campaigns, you know that one of my greatest

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: frustrations is that when Republicans are in power, they oftentimes

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: screw it up and they fail to wield that power effectively.

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: Now I understand that the Republican Party by and large

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: doesn't represent the base well and it it frustrates the

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: hell out of me. I know it frustrates the hell

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: out of a lot of you as well. And by

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: the way, I agree. I know Matt Gates, I know him.

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. I know Kevin McCarthy, he's a

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: good guy as well. I know both sides of their argument.

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: For Kevin McCarthy, he's just I'll tell you, he's just

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: really really frustrated for what Matt Gates did to him

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: very early on last year when he was running for speaker,

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the fifteen votes and everything else, which ultimately, I think

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: debates like that on the House floor are actually good

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: for our country, good for the American people to see

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: that process. I think it's good that things are earned

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and not giving for the most given for the most part.

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: So I like to see that debate over who should

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: be speaker. Do I think it should have gone on

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: for fifteen sixteen votes?

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I thought that was a little bit tedious.

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, McCarthy clearly has personal animus against Gates because

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: of that, and Gates clearly has personal animis against McCarthy

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: for rekindling. Now again, the Speaker of the House is

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: not responsible for ethics investigations, right, but they can wink wink, nod,

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: nod and and steer things in the right direction from

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, of course, because of course that's just

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: how the political system works in Washington. So the Biden

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: DOJ kill doesn't prosecute Matt Gates on anything, And by

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: the way, that should tell you something. The Biden DOJ

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: prosecutes any Republican for anything, even if there's the slightest

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: bit of evidence, So that tells you everything you need

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: to know about the evidence against Matt Gates.

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: There's clearly nothing.

69
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: But strangely, as that investigation stops, there's a House ethics

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: investigation into Matt Gates that was rekindled shortly after that.

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: That clearly clearly, if you've got kids around, go with

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: go ear mouse Rea real quick. But that clearly pissed

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: off Matt Gates. And frankly, that to me is the

74
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: core of why this all is happening. I mean, at

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I think this is these

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: two people, Kevin McCarthy Matt Gates. I think they don't

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: like each other. Now I understand policy discussions on either

78
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: side of this. Wow, I understand where Kevin McCarthy's coming from.

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I understand where Matt Gates is coming is coming from

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: as well. In fact, it's hard to disagree with any

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: of Matt Gates's policy standpoints on this issue. However, Okay,

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: and I talk to you all about this yesterday, and

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: even some of you called me a rhino, which like,

84
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: if you think that I'm a rhino, I got nothing

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: for you because I am the total opposite of that.

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: But but as far as as far as Matt Gates

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: is concerned, I like him. I agree with all his

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: policy positions on this. What I disagree with is the mess,

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: the tactical, the tactics of all of it, the method

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: by which he's doing this. You know, it's not like

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: we have a twenty seat majority in the House of Representatives.

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: It's not like we have a veto proof majority in

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives.

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: We don't.

95
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: And what bothers me is that we have a razor

96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: thin margin. Republicans are fighting out there in the open

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: while Democrats who who like have like what like, are

98
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: five seats down, like all it takes is five Republican

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: votes to flip or there about, and then Democrats win

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: on certain issues. So again, razor thin margin in the

101
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. But you've got Democrats taking potshots, talking

102
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: smack the entire time, and I can't wrap my mind around.

103
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: And this is something that that I really struggle with.

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Where you have I think I think there are eight

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Republicans now who voted to oust Speaker McCarthy, but only

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: eight Republicans did that. Every single Democrat again, they didn't

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: break ranks. They voted also to oust Speaker McCarthy. So

108
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: it's at the end of the day, you have a

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: very very very very very very small minority of Republicans

110
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: voting to out Speaker McCarthy and the vast majority of

111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Democrats who did it as well. And that just can't

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: I can't wrap my mind around that. I don't like that.

113
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: Something about that really bothers me. On almost any other issue,

114
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: those Republicans would be branded as outsiders of the party.

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the Obamacare vote and John McCain,

116
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: just to see left the Senate voted for Obamacare, thereby

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: betraying his constituency, betraying his state, and really spitting in

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the face of Donald Trump, who's a newly minted president

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: at that time. I mean, people loathe John McCain for

120
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: that vote. I mean, this is to me, I kind

121
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: of it's a similar thing if you're gonna go toe

122
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: to toe with the Speaker of the House and disagree

123
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: with him on many procedural issues. Okay, again, I agree

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: with Matt Gates in principle and on all of these

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: policy things. I would just advocate for Matt Gates and

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: others who were in his position to have what I

127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: like to call tactical patients. You know, the whole idea

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: that you don't rush into a kill zone. You might

129
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: come out alive, you might come out victorious, but you're

130
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna come out battered, bruised, and wounded in the process.

131
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: There's a better way to do what Matt Gates is doing.

132
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: And but in fairness to both sides, I want you

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: to hear what both of these people have to say.

134
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: And I think I've got a solution as how to

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: move forward. But I guess that ship has sailed at

136
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: this point because McCarthy's already ousted as Speaker for now.

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: But I want to play you this video of Paul

138
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Ryan because I want you to because I'm hoping that

139
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: this will remind you of the time when Paul Ryan

140
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: was actually Speaker of the House and Republicans controlled the

141
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and the Executive

142
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: the Executive Office, the executive branch of our country. As

143
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump as president, we squandered, we squandered everything.

144
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: We squandered those majorities and Paul Ryan, as a week

145
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: speaker who didn't even want to be speaker, was responsible

146
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: for that clearly.

147
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: And he's by the way.

148
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: It's just as as this motion to vacate has sort

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: of has sort of been on the forefront of everybody's

150
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: mind now for the for the vast majority of yesterday

151
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: and today, Paul Ryan is back in the news cycle talking.

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: So let's gohead and roll this tape of Paul Ryan

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: and see what this idiot has to say.

154
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: Now, I'm hoping we get past Johnald Trump by say,

155
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: g anywhere you know after ilaw in New Hampshire, maybe

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: South Carolina, if you're a betting person, if you go

157
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: to the Vegas side, I'm sure they're saying he's probably

158
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: gets the nomination. I still think there's a reasonable chance

159
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't get the nomination. If not Trump, who on

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: the Republican side of theil And frankly, I don't know

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: who it's gonna be. But but I think you say Haley, Scott,

162
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: Pence or DeSantis right now, But I don't that's his odds.

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: If any one of them gets the nomination, I think

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: they win the presidency. Uh.

165
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Talk about a man out of his time there's oh god,

166
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. And so this is I completely understand

167
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,119
Speaker 1: where Matt Gates is coming from because the establishment Republican

168
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Party does not represent its base. Well okay, people like

169
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan have completely alienated the party from the base,

170
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: and with comments like that, it's it's fairly easy to

171
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: see why where he's talking about any one of these

172
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: people can beat Joe Biden. I frankly, I don't agree

173
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: with that, and I think I think the polling bears

174
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: that out as well. In fact, I think the person

175
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: who's best positioned to win and is no surprise to

176
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: anybody listening to this, but it's Donald Trump. I mean,

177
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: he's the guys by far, the most electrifying political figure

178
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. He's polling better than he was in

179
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, and even better than he

180
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: was in twenty twenty two. So I think Trump is

181
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: stronger than ever. But I want you to also watch

182
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: this video because I want to get the rich bears

183
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: and get his reaction to all of this. I want

184
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: you to hear what Matt Gates said on the steps

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: of the Capitol last night. And again, folks, I'm going

186
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: to reiterate, I don't agree. I don't disagree with a

187
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: single damn thing he says here. Okay, I just disagree

188
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: with the tactics. I don't think that there's any championship

189
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: football team, or any championship sports team that survives with

190
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: such public fighting, especially while your political enemy or your

191
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: rivals are sitting there on the sidelines, laughing and prodding

192
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: you all the while. That's not a recipe for success.

193
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: There's a better way to do this. But go ahead

194
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: and play this. Frankly, I think it's a it's a

195
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: it's it got me fired up listening to Matt Gates

196
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff because, as I mentioned you before,

197
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: I agree with him. But let's go ahead and listen

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to what Matt Gates had to say last night.

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: If you were to move forward, if there were to

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: be any kind of agreement, what would that look like

201
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: and what would you need to see from the speaker?

202
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 5: At his point, I think the die's cast based on

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: the motion I just filed. I think the time for

204
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 5: that discussion would have been over the last several weeks,

205
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 5: but instead we saw the speaker continuing. I mean, the

206
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: speaker did not just fail to remediate the breach of

207
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: the agreement with it you made with us in January.

208
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: He accelerated the instances of breach, Like after I laid

209
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: out the breach, he went.

210
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: And violated the seventy two hour rule. After I laid

211
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: out the breach, he violated.

212
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 5: The one hundred million No Amendment suspension rule. So he

213
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: seems to be reverting to the very unfortunate muscle memory

214
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 5: of Washington, DC that has put our nation atop a

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: thirty three trillion dollar debt that has led to you know,

216
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 5: two trillion dollar annual deficits in our near future and

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 5: the rapid.

218
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Global dedollarization of the economy.

219
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 5: When you look at the bricks system, you know, Brazil, Russia, India, China,

220
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: South Africa, they're moving away from the dollar. And just

221
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: in August they added six new countries, including g twenty

222
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: country economies in the Western Hemisphere and golf monarchies. Moreover,

223
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: you've seen you saw US News say that the number

224
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: one economic trends of twenty twenty three is d dollarization globally.

225
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: This worries me. You all get all.

226
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: Worked up that there's going to be some uncomfortable chaotic

227
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: moment and I'll feel pressure from conservatives or Democrats or whomever.

228
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: I feel the judgment of history. I feel the weight

229
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: of that.

230
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: I worry that when the history books are written about

231
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 5: this country going down, that my name is going to

232
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 5: be on the board of directors here. And if this

233
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: country's going down, and if we're losing the dollar, I

234
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: am going down fighting And I don't care if that

235
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: means fighting Republicans, Democrats, the uniparty, the leadership, the packs,

236
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: the lobbyists.

237
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: I've had it.

238
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: I've been here seven years. We don't have a budget.

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 5: I haven't had one since the mid nineties. I am

240
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: through with it. I apologize for using that word, but

241
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: the only path forward here is to have single subject

242
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: spending bills that can be reviewed, amended, considered. And I

243
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: think that is the responsible way that our legislatures all

244
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 5: over this country operate for good reasons.

245
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: For responsigation.

246
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 5: I am the most investigated man in the United States Congress.

247
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: I have been cleared by the FBI, the DOJ, the

248
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 5: Federal Elections Commission by a five oz vote. It seems

249
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: that the Ethics Committee's interest in me waxes and wanes

250
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: based on my relationship with the Speaker I believe that

251
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: Speaker McCarthy is trying to signal to the Ethics Committee

252
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: to pursue me. When I gave my Sunday interviews yesterday

253
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 5: indicating that I intended to file.

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: This motion to vacate Speaker McCarthy.

255
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: Hours did not pass before Republicans and members of the

256
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: Ethics Committee or background and reporters that they wanted to

257
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: expel me from the United States Congress for bringing a

258
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 5: motion to vacate under the rules that we negotiated in

259
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: January after Kevin McCarthy broke his word. They want to

260
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: expel me for Congress from that. So you know what,

261
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 5: I'm built for the battle. I face down tougher than

262
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 5: these folks, and I'll do it again.

263
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

264
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: So clearly you can tell that Gates is fired up.

265
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: If this is personal, he does not like those ethics

266
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: investigations into him, by the way, and I completely agree.

267
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: I'll say this.

268
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, Gates is upset and ultimately why they killed

269
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: Scott Perry's bill, which was the initial budget bill for

270
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: this year, the initial omnibus bill, which again I'm no

271
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: fan of omnibus bills.

272
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I get.

273
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: It, but Scott Perry is one of the most conservative

274
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: members of the how he's the chair of the House

275
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus. That bill was by and large written and

276
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: negotiated and pushed by him. It was a conservative bill.

277
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Gates killed that bill. I don't like that he killed

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: that bill because now where left with some garbage forty

279
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: five day continuing cr that's with all the radical left

280
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: spending still crammed in it. And ultimately it was what

281
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: some are calling a backroom deal between Kevin McCarthy and

282
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Democrats to pass that bill for forty five days to

283
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: give the more time to negotiate. But I again, when

284
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: you look at okay, so Matt Gates and company are

285
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: mad at Kevin McCarthy for doing that having one hundred

286
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: plus Democrats vote for a bill, But then how do

287
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: you square that with ousting Kevin McCarthy by having eight

288
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Republicans vote to oust him in every single Democrat. It

289
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: seems to me that it takes some logical gymnastics. You

290
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: can't live in both worlds, is my point. And moreover,

291
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: there's a Sacro Saint House Republican Conference role that states

292
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: that the motion to vacate should only be available with

293
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: the agreement of the Republican conference so as not to

294
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: allow Democrats to choose the speaker. That role is meant

295
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: to ensure that when Republicans are in the majority, Democrats

296
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: cannot choose a speaker. Enough, Matt Gates like, I love

297
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: the guy, but he violated that role he just did.

298
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: I don't like doing that kind of stuff.

299
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't like airing of dirty laundry out there while

300
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: our enemies, our political enemies, can see it all Again,

301
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I agree with him and principle, disagree with him on tactics.

302
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's a better time. There's a

303
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: better time to go at Speaker McCarthy. If you want

304
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: to have these conversations. Let's get full swing into the

305
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: impeachment inquiry. Let's get full swing into funding border security

306
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: or building the wall. Let's get full swing into stopping

307
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: fentanyl from pouring into this country. Let's subpoena Hunter Biden.

308
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Let's do all of that stuff first.

309
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: We have the House.

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Republicans, I have the momentum right now, And to me

311
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: this it frustrates the hell out of me because here again,

312
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: we don't control the executive branch. We don't have a

313
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: majority in the Senate. We have a majority in the House,

314
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: and I just feel like we're squandering it all over again.

315
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: We could be using this time to take the fight

316
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: to the Democrats. Instead of that, we're empowering the Democrat

317
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: majority in the House. And if you don't believe me,

318
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: take Matt Gates and take Kevin McCarthy out of your mind.

319
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Just put them on the sidelines. I don't care where

320
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: you stand on the issue. And I also realize the

321
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: vast majority of you are probably with Matt Gates. I

322
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: sure as he'll know that Brock is Brock is really

323
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: frustrated with the process, and rightfully so, the vast majority

324
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: of Republican voters are frustrated with the process.

325
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: I get it, one hundred percent.

326
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. But the Democrats are celebrating. What does

327
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: that tell you? They like when we're weak, They like

328
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: when we're fighting each other, because when we are in

329
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: disarray here, they can get away with damn near everything

330
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: that they want. And that's exactly what's happening, and so

331
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: so on the flip side of that, as I already

332
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: told you, the Speaker of the House doesn't technically he's

333
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: not technically in charge or in control of who kentuckts

334
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: and ethics investigations. But he can certainly send signals of

335
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: who is in charge. And McCarthy should send a signal

336
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: right now to and this BS investigation into Matt Gates,

337
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: or at least publish the results to get this cloud

338
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: out from over this guy's head.

339
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: It's completely unfair.

340
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: Republicans shouldn't be conducting lawfare against other Republicans. And ultimately

341
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: it's this personal fight between the two. It's the reason

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: for all this drama and distraction that we're facing that

343
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: we have now on the House floor. If the Biden

344
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: DOJ declined to prosecute, that should tell you something. So

345
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: it's frustrating to me that Republicans are stabbing each other

346
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: in the back, left and right. And when we do that,

347
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: not just our party and our movement, not only does

348
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: it hurt our party in our movement, it hurts our

349
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: country because these Democrats are crazy. If you don't believe

350
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: that we are in the midst, because we are in

351
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: the midst of a great cultural revolution being led by

352
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: these communist mouth breathing Dems in the House and in

353
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: the Senate and then the White House, then you are wrong.

354
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: In every single second that we are distracted from that

355
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: mission of stopping them is a second, that they are

356
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: closer to the wholesale destruction of this country in everything

357
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: that we hold dear, because believe me when I tell

358
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: you that that's exactly what they're focused on. And so look,

359
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I got Rich Barriss here. I don't want to wait

360
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: even another second to bring him on. Let's bring on

361
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Savage Rich. Barris is here with me. I hope, I

362
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: hope Savage Rich comes out tonight. As Brock said, and

363
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: I want to read something to you. You tweeted something out.

364
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to read that back to you, and I

365
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: want you to react to it. And I thought, as usual,

366
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: it was super interesting, you said on Twitter moments after

367
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy was ousted as speaker. You said, the motion to

368
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: vacate path sixty to two hundred and ten. Kevin McCarthy

369
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: has been ousted as speaker.

370
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: One.

371
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: If McCarthy acted on political weaponization, perhaps Trump would have

372
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: been too Trump's would not. Trump would not have been

373
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: too busy and unwilling to save two. McCarthy and McConnell's

374
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: sabotaged MAGA in twenty twenty two to avoid this very

375
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: outcome this fascinating stuff.

376
00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: Man.

377
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 4: Well, thanks for having me on as always, Sean. You know,

378
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: I just don't and I get this is you know,

379
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: personally my own feelings. This is a tough spot for

380
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: me because I I'm like you and I think like

381
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 4: a strategist. House divided cannot stand you know. Yeah. But

382
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: at the same time, I'm a polster now and I

383
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: listen to voters all the time, so I can't help

384
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: but to I can't help it to at least point

385
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: out that they're in this position because of their own fault,

386
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 4: you know. They they are here because they're not serious people. Folks.

387
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: During the vote, somebody jumped up and said, pull the

388
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: fire alarm. This is why we're in the position we're in.

389
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 4: I mean, the circus is in the Congress, it has

390
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: been for a long time. You have Fox News correspondence

391
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: idiot tools who eat two hundred dollars lunches in DC

392
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: every day, pretending to represent the Republican voter saying, you know,

393
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: this is because the rank and file has been at

394
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: war with leadership. It's the e opposite tool. The leadership

395
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 4: has been at war with the rank and file forever, Sean, Forever,

396
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 4: for as long as I've been in this business, they

397
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: lie to their voters to get elected. You brought up

398
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: John McCain before, What a great example. Paul Ryan squandered

399
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: Republican full control of government in twenty sixteen, which, by

400
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: the way, in twenty seventeen, which, by the way, they

401
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: never would have won without the guy he hates so much. Right,

402
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: And he goes up to the microphone and he says,

403
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 4: I heard he heard a voice that none of us heard,

404
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: and now I hear that voice too, and we're going

405
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: to respond to It was the biggest crock of you

406
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 4: know what, I think I've ever seen a politician spew.

407
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 4: And then he went right back to stabbing Donald Trump

408
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 4: and the voters in the back. John McCain spent the

409
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: last couple of days of his life putting his disgusting,

410
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: crusty old man finger down to break a seven year

411
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: campaign promise that we're Republicans. Gave voters winning majorities in

412
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: Congress with that promise, just despite Donald Trump, because he's

413
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: a tiny little man. This is what we're dealing with.

414
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 4: And I understand Gates's point of view, and I understand

415
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: the voter's point of view, and I also understand. Frankly,

416
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 4: even McCarthy's point of view, the guy has a few

417
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: vote majority. He's trying to give everybody you know enough

418
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: to hold the glue together. But this last one, I mean,

419
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: you got to get out of that town once in

420
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: a while, Kevin, you all do if you didn't realize

421
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: that with the border. I mean even Elon Musk is

422
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 4: there last weekend talking to border pature. This is an invasion,

423
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: and he forsakes them and make sure he what rubs

424
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: elbows with Biden quietly to make sure that Ukraine is funded.

425
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: I mean, Sean, I mean, there's only so many times

426
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: you can drive toward the wall before the car doesn't

427
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: stop in time.

428
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so I.

429
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: So, so before we move on, I got a quite

430
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: So if you're with us right now, folks, if you're

431
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: watching my show and this is the first time you've

432
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: seen Rich Barris, I didn't get him on the thumbnail

433
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: because Rich confirmed before we had already posted the episode.

434
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: But make sure you go and like and subscribe to

435
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: People's Pundit page. He's an amazing guy. If you're watching

436
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: this show now and you're new, obviously subscribe to my page.

437
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: But like this, like this video because Rumble notices that stuff.

438
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: And if Frumble notice is it helps us get advertisers,

439
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: both of us, and the more advertisers that we get,

440
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: the more content that we can give.

441
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: You, and especially for Rich, the more polling he can do.

442
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: And that's good for not just the people who are

443
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: watching and listening to this, but also for the country

444
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: because they'll be better informed about what's going on. Okay, Savage, Rich,

445
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: give us a sense of give us. So it was

446
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: initially projected that only six Republicans would vote to Alison Speaker,

447
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: but it looks like eight. Did do you have Do

448
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: you have those names?

449
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: Handy? I know it was obviously Matt Gaets.

450
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Eli Crane was one of them,

451
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: but Good was one of them.

452
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 4: Mace was a bit a bit of a surprise for people.

453
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: So let me make sure I get them all. It

454
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: was Mace, Birchett Crane, Bob Good, Eli Crane, Matt Gates,

455
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 4: and I mean probably the audience will even help us

456
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: out a little bit. I did have them all. I

457
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 4: was gonna have the right in front of me, but

458
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: Mace was on the line. I mean it was like

459
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: two o'clock and it was clear that she was, you know,

460
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: leaning towards vacating the chair, and it was like forty

461
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 4: five minutes before three finally get I don't know, I'm

462
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: kind of wish she was. She's still, but just something

463
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: about it Sean led me to believe she was going

464
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 4: to be yes. So I wasn't surprised, but she was

465
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: a Sparks was in no. Stephanic was in no. Although

466
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 4: Stephanic really wasn't in doubt, Sparks was. You know, eight

467
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: is a bigger number than I think a lot of

468
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 4: people thought. I thought, you know, it was, we were

469
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: really looking at six solid ones. And again, I really,

470
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 4: I know it's a tough question for people to ask

471
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: but or answer, but I really just got to point

472
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 4: out that eight is more than we thought. This is

473
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 4: a historic day. This hasn't happened in more than one

474
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 4: hundred years. When what's his name, Joseph Gunny Cannon, he

475
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: was a Republican from Illinois, was a speaker. He basically

476
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: dared the Congress. They were like, you know, he was like,

477
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 4: you don't like me, vote vote to vacate the chair.

478
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 4: I don't care. And he was like one of those

479
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: old hearts, hardcore old school Republicans from the twentieth century

480
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 4: in nineteenth century and he won that vote. So this

481
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: is the first time in history. McCarthy's also the shortest

482
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: serving one so or no shortest, second shortest serving, so.

483
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: He might be the stal I think he might be

484
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: the shortest sort of serving a second.

485
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: I'll make sure I get I'll make sure I get

486
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: that for people on Twitter later, because there is one

487
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 4: more than I'm I'm thinking it's on the line, but

488
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong, And I think it's like enough history

489
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 4: that we pause and asked ourselves, well, why how did

490
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: we get here? And of all the time I've ever

491
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 4: been upholster, well, something always jumped immediately out at me. Democrats,

492
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, always when we do congressional leaders, their favorability ratings.

493
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: Democrats may be unpopular. Take somebody like Nancy Pelosi when

494
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 4: she was the speaker, she had one of the worst

495
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: combined unfavorable ratings. Mitch McConnell always had the highest very unfavorable,

496
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: but she had the worst combined and it was solely

497
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 4: due to like universal hatred among Republicans and a solid

498
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 4: majority of independents. But Democrats circle the wagon.

499
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: They like their always right right, So Rich, where do

500
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: where do we go from here? This is what the

501
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: rest with Republicans. Republicans put their foot in their mouth

502
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: and then they shoot themselves in the foot.

503
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: That yeah, yeah, So it looks like it could be.

504
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: Obviously, the Dems are going to nominate Hakeem Jefferies and

505
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: then there's going to be another fifteen to sixteen votes.

506
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think McCarthy is going to step down.

507
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys got well over the sport the

508
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: vast majority, over two hundred Publicans support this guy. Where

509
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: do we go and does does this does do these

510
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: many up and coming votes, does it lead to McCarthy

511
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: going to Gates and say, Okay, I'm going to give

512
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: you more concessions on say border security and or hey,

513
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: how about this. I'm not going to give the Democrats

514
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: a House vote on a do Ukraine? I mean, does

515
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: he make concessions to to Gates because McCarthy is already

516
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: uh said very publicly that I don't care if he

517
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: gets I don't care if I get out to the speaker.

518
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm not making any concessions to the left.

519
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 4: This is where this, this is where I had a

520
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: break with this you know, personally with this plan, it's like, well,

521
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: what's the end game? And I went to some of

522
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: my you know, my MAGA friends, you know.

523
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: Mega Brother.

524
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 4: Yeah it Mega Brother, and they're like, look, you know,

525
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 4: we can bully Jim Jordan a lot easier.

526
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan doesn't Jim Jordan, I can tell you he

527
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: does not want the job. He's Republicans. He's one of

528
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the few Republicans that can ask clear, direct questions and

529
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: not grand stand at some of these oversight committee meetings

530
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: in our judiciary. He's extremely effective, he's better used there.

531
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't want the job.

532
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: He does not want it. It seems like the speakership

533
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 4: when you're a Republican is basically the kiss of death

534
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 4: the end of your career. There are people calling I

535
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: kid you not, and I don't know if I should. Yeah,

536
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say it. If he yells at me,

537
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: he yells at me. There are people calling David Gillio

538
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: and asking him to run against Kevin McCarthy right now. So, like,

539
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 4: you know, this is unbelievable because it's like, you become

540
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: the speaker, it's an aspiration of yours, and then it

541
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: winds up destroying you. And so if you're Jim Jordan,

542
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: you're anybody you don't want it. So I just didn't

543
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: see the endgame here, although again I understand from the

544
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: voter and the basis point of view, this is an

545
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 4: unsustainable situation. It doesn't matter if it's Jim Jordan. I

546
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: heard somebody float Chip Roy. I mean, that's how laughable

547
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 4: this is. Chip Roy is currently in the eight to

548
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: ten percent majority right now if you're looking at the

549
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: wings of the party being in a proxy fight with

550
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 4: the Republican nomination. He is with Team DeSantis and has

551
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: made some of the dumbest statements on the planet, including

552
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: crazy Liz Cheney. You know, for I mean the guy.

553
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 4: The guy is a total fraud. Come on, including speaking.

554
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Of speaking of Liz Cheney, did you hear that Liz

555
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: Cheney had called Hakeem Jefferies after a media appearance last

556
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: night and told a Keem Jeffries to oust speaker McCarthy.

557
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: I mean this, Okay, So this, folks, this is the

558
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: insider baseball that goes on that I discussed. I'm not

559
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here telling you like, oh McCarthy's wrong

560
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: or Gates is wrong. No, I'm telling you that I

561
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: understand both sides of this issue. I understand prim and

562
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: agree with Gates on this stuff. But this the Democrats

563
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: are always, always, always scheming, and they will find cracks

564
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: in the Republican conservative movement and find ways to get

565
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: us to turn our guns on each other, I mean

566
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: metaphorical guns, you know. And it just frustrates the hell

567
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: out of me that it seems like we just always

568
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: take the bait rich.

569
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: It's It's also true that it's not this is not

570
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: solely McCarthy's fault, right, because he was trying to hold

571
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: it together in the beginning of his speakership. Even people

572
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 4: who have always been critical of him came out and said,

573
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: you know what, you gotta give it to him. Got

574
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 4: to give him credit where credit's due with this. With that,

575
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 4: what Republicans should be doing is going behind closed doors,

576
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: not in front of reporters, not in front of the

577
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: you know, the you know people you know are going

578
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: to leak to the other conference and hatch these problems out.

579
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: Don't air your dirty laundry in public. The problem again, though,

580
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 4: is that, you know, because I don't like the people

581
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: who are saying, man, you know, Gates his grand standing.

582
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: No he's not. He got to a point where he

583
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: ran out of procedural ways to affect change. So he

584
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: popped the He popped the pin John in the middle

585
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: of the room. That's what he did.

586
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: He eventually said.

587
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 4: That's it. We're all going together, you know, you know.

588
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: So that's good, that's a good and that's a good comparison.

589
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: Actually, that's I think that if leadership and people will

590
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: say rich, what else could leadership bend on? Well, how

591
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 4: about be what you say you are when you run

592
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 4: for office. It is not or shouldn't be lost on

593
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: anybody right now. That Donald Trump's lead over Joe Biden

594
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four is about twice as big as

595
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: the Republican lead over Democrats on the generic ballot in

596
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. So there are voters who trust Trump

597
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: don't trust the party. And every time, and it's so

598
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: easy to identify what it is. There are two things

599
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: going on. You have Republican stalwarts that are that when

600
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 4: I was talking about favorability before, they don't like their

601
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: own leader, Sean. That's why Republican leaders are always so negative.

602
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: And you know their ratings are typically more negative. They

603
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 4: won't circle the wagons around their leader for the sake

604
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: of that, you know, because simply they are the leader

605
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: of their party. They won't do that. Republicans don't feel

606
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 4: represented Democrats do so. For Democrats, well, the rest of

607
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 4: the country hates the leader's guts, they still stay behind

608
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 4: them because they feel like they're representing them. I elected

609
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 4: you to do that. Take the heat, do whatever you

610
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: got to do. You know, you got my support. It's

611
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 4: the opposite with Republicans. They feel like every time it's

612
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: election year, they tell them whatever they would think they

613
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: want to hear. Then they go to Congress stab them

614
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: in the back, and it's just it was bound to

615
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: reach a boiling point, is I guess my my larger

616
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: argument here, this is not a sustainable situation. No party

617
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 4: can survive not representing their voters. You know, you will

618
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: become the Whigs. You will become, you know, the series

619
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 4: of parties that have faded to the pages of history

620
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: because you didn't do what your voters expected you to do.

621
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: So you've flatly lost your constituency. You you were a

622
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: party without a constituency. And Republicans have got to realize

623
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: the voter doesn't give a damn about Ukraine. Okay, they

624
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 4: don't care about that is an invasion at the southern border.

625
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: The Democrats are using the weapons of the police state

626
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: power to imprison old people to attack the front runner.

627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, rise to the occasion, already, rise

628
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: to the occasion, be the man, be the leader. You

629
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: you ran and said you would be, and they're not.

630
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: So it was only for me. It's only a matter

631
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 4: of time. And that's magic because you cannot beat Democrats.

632
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: It's hard to beat something like that with a tiny

633
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: majority show which you're certainly not going to beat them.

634
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 1: Divide it, especially when the Democrats are always united one

635
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time. I mean they they could have.

636
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at just look at Joe Biden. Look

637
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: at all of the clear and just evidence of outright

638
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: corruption and hunter Biden doesn't interview with Good Morning America

639
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: and says like, wow, now I didn't do anything wrong

640
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: about being on that board of AISMA. No, it's just

641
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: totally fine and totally appropriated. It's just like my mind

642
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: was like like the balls on these people, man, like

643
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: this is and you know why they can get away

644
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: with it. One because even if the media pushes back

645
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: against them.

646
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: Rich even if and kudos to that.

647
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: The Good Morning America reporters like, isn't this kind of

648
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: like what America hates about politicians?

649
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: And Hunter Biden was like, well, well what Americans saying that?

650
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, basically, everybody do you have, like

651
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: does everybody in Washington have Beltway Brain? When was the

652
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: last time they've left Washington d C. But it's just

653
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: it's just so frustrating to me that the Democrats doesn't

654
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: matter how bad things get, there are just united. And

655
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: and you can't beat a movement that's united with with

656
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: half assed stock platitudes and not being wholly dedicated to

657
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: your base. It's just frustrating. And Brock just texted me

658
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: and so we have over a over a thousand people watching.

659
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so, by the way, Rich like, it's pretty amazing.

666
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: Rich is just I think the best poster in the business.

667
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I could not speak more highly of him. And by

668
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: the way, generally speaking, you know, if you watch me

669
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: or paid attention to me for a while, I don't

670
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: have a high opinion of most polsters. Rich is one

671
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: that I hold very high regard. So make sure you

672
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: go subscribe to his stuff.

673
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 4: Can imagine why?

674
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, well let me ask you another question

675
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 1: about Gates. There's all of these rumors swirling about Gates

676
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: about running for Florida governor, and he is just I

677
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: agree that it's it's not just as simple as he's

678
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: out there grand standing, but he's clearly trying to fundraise

679
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: off of this. Now there's some there's some there's some

680
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: FBC regular regulatory stuff that prohibits him from using funds

681
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: raised in a federal run or run raised while he's

682
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: a House member, can't be used for state. All that

683
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: stuff differs state by state. But people are saying he's

684
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: running for governor of Florida. He's out of the House

685
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: of Representative Representatives anyway. So to use your analogy of yeah,

686
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 1: he pulled the pain and through it and he didn't

687
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: really care was going down with him.

688
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, could it? Could that be because he's.

689
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Throwing the pin and running away, I mean just leaving

690
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: the I mean, is there any merit to that argument?

691
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: Uh, this is going to draw some Desanthus fire, but

692
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 4: it's true. So I'm gonna say it anyway. There is

693
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 4: very clearly an expectation that Ron DeSantis obviously is going

694
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: to lose this nomination and then basically waddle back to

695
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: Florida with his tail between his legs and there's going

696
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: to be a new speaker and they they don't want him.

697
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 4: You know, he's not going to get this non adversarial

698
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 4: relationship that he had with the legislature, like he That's

699
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 4: what happens, folks. I mean, you bet your political clout

700
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: and you lose, then you you know, there's blood in

701
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 4: the water and a gates and he's not alone. Others

702
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 4: have definitely smelled the blood in the water, and it's

703
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 4: he's been an avid supporter of President Trump, so you know,

704
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 4: he's thinking, I can maneuver as the MAGA candidate and

705
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna sweep in because Florida's magas can be. So

706
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 4: it's I mean, conn it's smart move, but still I

707
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 4: do think that he's being earnest when he says, you

708
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: know that there's nothing. I've been here seven years, and

709
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 4: this is part that he of his argument that does

710
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: resonate personally with me, because I'm going to be forty two.

711
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 4: I remember how the budget process worked. I remember when

712
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 4: we were a functioning democracy, or not even I hate

713
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 4: that way. We were a functioning, self governing society, you know,

714
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: and we passed appropriation bills, and we had debates over

715
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: the budget, and we had hearings and we did not

716
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 4: have these ridiculous omnibus. And I think he's being honest

717
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 4: when he goes to the microphone and sounds frustrated, you know,

718
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: like I don't want my name to be attached to

719
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 4: this disaster. And if you are, like, I think I

720
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 4: agree with Gates on this, that this debt bomb is

721
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 4: going to go off, especially with the weakening of the

722
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: petro dollar and the pushing of Russia into China's arms, creating,

723
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: you know, what is essentially a balancing coalition that we

724
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: have no hope to balance against, so eventually that will come.

725
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: Back to bite us.

726
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: We're only able to sustain this level of debt because

727
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: of those things. When the international system changes, the balance

728
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 4: of power change is shown, we're gonna have to atone

729
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: for that debt. And I guarantee all of these people

730
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 4: who are talking trash about Gates right now, we're going

731
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: to be attending that they were shoulder to shoulder with

732
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 4: him trying to stop the debt bomb. I guarantee you

733
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: chip Roy will make it sound like his amendment that

734
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: got defeated would have provided fifty percent worth the cuts

735
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 4: and we would all be safe from the from the

736
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 4: debt crisis, just had they passed chip Roy's amendment. It's

737
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 4: in reality, it's a joke, all right. I mean his

738
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 4: his amendment was a joke. I'm picking on chip Roy.

739
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 4: It's just it is more of the same. So I

740
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: think Matt's frustration is real.

741
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: I do.

742
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 4: And by the way, I've pulled the first district in Florida.

743
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 4: They want him to do this, man, I'll tell you,

744
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 4: I know it. Voters love him. He wins two thirds

745
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: of the vote for a reason. They want him to

746
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 4: do this, Sean, and he's he's got veterans in his

747
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 4: district and they're behind him. So you know, I just again,

748
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 4: I do see both sides of this. I just feel

749
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: like that both sides could have given and taken a

750
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: little bit more, and that just like you know, don't

751
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: take your eye off the ball, and the president would

752
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: have come out and saved McCarthy. I think I don't

753
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: know this, and I'm just saying, I know he's been

754
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 4: busy today and for those who don't know, he has been.

755
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 4: But gee Shawan, he posts that thing on true Social

756
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: and that was those were words of wisdom right there.

757
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: Why are you always fighting with each other instead of

758
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: dealing with the real enemy. But notice he didn't add

759
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 4: to that save McCarthy, you know, so I feel like

760
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 4: he feels himself that McCarthy didn't do enough to stop

761
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: this weaponization against him. And by the way, the one

762
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 4: I was think of was left out was Biggs. I

763
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 4: don't think I said Biggs.

764
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: And he had big yeah. Well and Buck right again,

765
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: that's that which.

766
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 4: Was that's that's it, you're right, and that one that's

767
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: the last one. And that was stunning to me because

768
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 4: Buck has like lost his mind.

769
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: Certainly seems like that.

770
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean every time he's he's out there doing interviews

771
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: on like MSNBC and CNN and talking about there's no

772
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: evidence to impeach Biden.

773
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, what world are you living in?

774
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: Bro?

775
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: What do they have on you that you have to

776
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: say that kind of stuff. It's just crazy to me.

777
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 4: I mean Biden's interview before I thought about do you

778
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: remember when uh what's her name hit her bodyguard hit

779
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 4: Nancy or hired meant to break Nancy Carrig's I think

780
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 4: it was like insider edition or somebody viewed him and

781
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: there and he was like, well, I'm a you know,

782
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: a worldwide terrorism expert. I've been hired. But and the

783
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: reporters like, no, you're not, you know, but I am,

784
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 4: But I am. So when you were talking about Democrats,

785
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: is refusing to admit there's evidence, you know, it reminds

786
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 4: me of that guy. It's just totally disregarding reality.

787
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: No, but I or remember the guy when we invaded

788
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: a RAQ there Rocky propaganda ministry is.

789
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: Like, there's nothing to see here. We are going to

790
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,959
Speaker 2: win this, Yeah, bagdad, Bob. Yeah, it's almost like that.

791
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: That's how bad propaganda's gotten in this country.

792
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: You know.

793
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: It's like crazy. It's like you see some of this

794
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: stuff and you're just like seriously.

795
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: But honestly, yes, seriously, because that that that partly the

796
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: reason why we are where we are today, where we

797
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: have these people on the bench like in this Trump

798
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: trial up in New York City, in the latest breaking

799
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: news before we before he jumped into the show today

800
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: and went live, was that this or this judge up

801
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: in New York this and we played a video of him,

802
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: I think yesterday, laughing and jumping in the camera just

803
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: moments before he was about to like ruin somebody's entire

804
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: life and legacy and basically make a unilateral decision to

805
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: close his business, like conduct that would make the Pullet

806
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 1: Bureau in Soviet era Russia.

807
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: Russia jealous. I mean, like the idea that.

808
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: A single Democrat judge could unilaterally close someone's business that

809
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: they work their entire life for is just beyond me.

810
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: But it's crazy to me that that we are where

811
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: we are, So give me okay. So we talked a

812
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: little bit about where did Republicans go from here, and

813
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: it's it's very clear Rich that there's not it doesn't

814
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: look like there's going to be a clear end state

815
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: in the House. To me, if it's if I'm a

816
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: better I'll.

817
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: Tell you how I think this is going to go.

818
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: It's going to go like it did a year ago,

819
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: when about a year ago when Speaker McCarthy won the

820
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: speakership or was nominated as speaker, it'd be fifteen different votes.

821
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: At some point, McCarthy's going to offer something to someone

822
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: that's going to get him across the goal line, and

823
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: he's going to end up speaker again. I mean, I

824
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: don't think it's a foregone conclusion. Just because he's ousted now,

825
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he's going to be ousted in perpetuity.

826
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Right there's nobody else merge here.

827
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 4: They're in recess, and what they're all doing right now

828
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: is exactly that, sending out feelers. Of course, there was

829
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 4: no doubt going to be a cool down period because

830
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 4: he's going. I mean, allies of Kevin McCarthy wouldn't even

831
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 4: let Matt Gates speak on the Republican side of the

832
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: House today. He had to sit on the Democratic side

833
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: to speak in the microphone. There's something though, that is concerning.

834
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 4: And if you look at Nancy Mace, not a bomb

835
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: thrower by any stretch of the imagination, not you know,

836
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 4: she was on the line with Trump played it very

837
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 4: politically savvy. Survived the primary challenge, albeit pretty close, but

838
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 4: she survived it, and she.

839
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: McCarthy save her though Rich McCarthy saved her in her

840
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: race and a real tight race. This is this is like,

841
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: this is what my mentor and friend of mine. Yeah,

842
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: like Mike Kelly, who's a congressman here in western Pennsylvania.

843
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: I love this guy. I've known him for a year.

844
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 4: Mike Kelly.

845
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: He used to say to me all the time.

846
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: He's say, yees Sean, you're going to get into politics,

847
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: and politicians will always tell you, yeah, I got your back,

848
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: I got your back, You got your back, and he's liked,

849
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: you'll know when you feel then this is this kind

850
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: of reminds me of that, Like exactly, Nancy Mace, like,

851
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, you raised decent amounts of money, but not

852
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: record breaking sums right, And so McCarthy in the Congressional

853
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: Leadership Fund, she was happy to spend his money.

854
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean.

855
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff bothers me.

856
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 4: You know, I would I would like details, but from

857
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 4: what I understand and gathering what i've what I've heard,

858
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 4: there were a couple of things that McCarthy told her. Listen,

859
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: let me get your help on these things, help me

860
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 4: out here, and then when this vote comes up, I'll deliver.

861
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 4: And there were a couple of things that he promised

862
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 4: her and it was like three times Sean where he

863
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 4: just gave her the shaft, no pun intended. Oh my god.

864
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 4: When well after her comment at the breakfast club, which

865
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 4: I defended by the.

866
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: Way, right, yeah, what did she say? She said something about.

867
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 4: Like her husband, yeah in the morning, or not even husband,

868
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 4: her fiance.

869
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: Had a prayer breakfast and a prayer breakfast.

870
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: Republicans, why are you gonna why, why are you gonna

871
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: be so cringe?

872
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: Please? I couldn't believe she said that when she did,

873
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 4: But she was always I thought she would end up

874
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 4: more like a Slotkin kind of figure. I don't know,

875
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't compare with the you know, democrat like that,

876
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 4: but I did not think that she would end up

877
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 4: here this quickly. But I mean, I'm telling you she's

878
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 4: not alone. I've been told that McCarthy. There's an issue

879
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: of trust. Okay, I guess let me just put it,

880
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: you know, without being specific, there's a trust issue. He

881
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: lies Sean a lot. And this is something that I

882
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 4: have heard from a lot of members. He lies and

883
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 4: they just got tired of it, you know. So it's

884
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 4: like hard to blame. You can't blame one person here

885
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 4: with everything that's going on, you can't. But if that's

886
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 4: the case, the legislation really does rely on a certain

887
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 4: amount of trust. Todd's a WICKI did great search on

888
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 4: this and George Mason University. You know, if you're going

889
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: to get legislation effectively passed or an agenda effectively passed,

890
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 4: members of your conference have got to be able to

891
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 4: trust you that you will respect the status quo. When

892
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 4: I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean, hey, Sean, listen,

893
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm going to help you with legislation that you have.

894
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 4: You want to bring back the bacon or something for

895
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 4: voters out in West Virginia, or you want to do something.

896
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 4: I'll support your bill on that. If you help me

897
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 4: with my economic development program in eastern North Carolina, can

898
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: I get your vote on that? I got your back

899
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 4: with my vote when they start screwing each other over

900
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: for lack of a better word, or if you're the

901
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 4: speaker and you say give me your support on this

902
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 4: and I'm going to bring something up that I promised you,

903
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 4: for instance, border control, and then not do it in

904
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 4: the manner or at all, or in the manner I

905
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 4: told you when we agreed to support this. For that,

906
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 4: that's a problem. The whole thing breaks down, and that

907
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 4: from what I understand, McCarthy has done this over and

908
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 4: over more than just him being out of a breach,

909
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: you know, being in breach of their agreement to make

910
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 4: that made him speaker. This was about individual stuff and

911
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 4: every so you know, when if that's true, then that's

912
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 4: his widespread. It's apparently more widespread than I even realized

913
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 4: because I did not count eight votes. Brother, I counted

914
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 4: seven tops so and some voted no, so you know,

915
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 4: it was a little bit surprising. So apparently it was

916
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 4: more than I thought. If that's the case, he's going

917
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 4: to have to give away a lot to be able

918
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: to come become speaker again. They're going to need some

919
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 4: kind of reassurances that he's, you know, willing to respect

920
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 4: the status quo.

921
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah basically, well, okay, so let's shift gears a second,

922
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: and I want to get to the RFK factor. I've

923
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: been telling people for weeks on this show and trying

924
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: to read the tea leaves saying that at the d

925
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: n C screws over RFK, which of course they will.

926
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: This is the Democrat Party is a party, and Joe Biden,

927
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even give, even with all the history of

928
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: the Kennedy family, even secret service for textion while he's campaigning.

929
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: So the Democrat Party when they when they play, they

930
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: play for keeps, they play hardball. So it's no surprise.

931
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: It's no surprise to me that they're going to screw

932
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: him over. And there's no surprise that they're going to

933
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: bring their own primary in favor of Joe Biden. That's

934
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: what they've always done. They screwed over Bernie Sanders and

935
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: two cycles because they thought that he was going to

936
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: have a he was going to ride a wave of

937
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: left wing populism to the nomination, and they were afraid

938
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: of how we performing a general.

939
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: But RFK, what I've been.

940
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: Telling people that he's going to likely run as an independent,

941
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: and my thought on this rich and you and you

942
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: and I have exchanged text messages just for the viewers

943
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: and listeners on this topic because when he ran as

944
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: an independent, I immediately texted you and our perspectives differed a

945
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: little bit and you said you were going to pull

946
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: the issue and stuff like that because you're a data guy.

947
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: But my sense is is that if you look at

948
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: the polling with Robert Kennedy Junior, and he's getting you know,

949
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: in a primary against Joe Biden, you know, somewhere between

950
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty percent of Democrats, how does that not

951
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: Democrats or take more from Biden in a general election

952
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: between Trump Biden RFK and you know, give give us

953
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: your sense of the RFK factor.

954
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that's and and then I mean honestly, that

955
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 4: on the surface is you know, the obvious uh, you know,

956
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 4: or assessment. Of course, if he's pulling away some of

957
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 4: these Democrats that want another choice, then that's gonna hurt

958
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 4: you know, that's gonna hurt Biden disproportionately in the general.

959
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: But there are a couple other things to consider. And

960
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 4: by the way, we're gonna we're gonna pull this really soon.

961
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get the questionnaire done so we can

962
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 4: get this out starting tomorrow and wrap it by Friday

963
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 4: and have some results by Friday. I'm really hoping that's

964
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 4: the case. Uh, There's a few things. One is this

965
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 4: we've been asking people about if your guy is not

966
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 4: the nominee, who are you gonna vote for? Or what

967
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 4: would you do? And the choices are, I'd vote for

968
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 4: the inevitable party nominee right, whoever wins the nomination, and

969
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 4: we did this with Republicans and Democrats. The other choices were,

970
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 4: I could consider voting for the third party. I would

971
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 4: vote for the Republican nominee or the Democratic nominee if

972
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 4: it's so and so right, because you got to offer

973
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 4: different choices, I wouldn't vote at all. I'd write their

974
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 4: name on the ballot right. And we've talked about this

975
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 4: before with the Trump or Bus vote with RFK thirty

976
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 4: percent at least in every single poll we've conducted, so

977
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 4: that if RFK is not the nominee, I'll vote for

978
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee. You want

979
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: that because of whereas support is coming from. If you're Trump,

980
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 4: you want that. So you basically want RFK to get

981
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 4: screwed and then not run. That's what you want because

982
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 4: those people are going to come to you like Bernie's

983
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 4: people did in sixteen. You're acording soon to be disaffected

984
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 4: voters that are populous like you. And that's ultimately another

985
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 4: problem for Trump. He's a populist and he's an outsider

986
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 4: supposedly right, so it could take some of that there.

987
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 4: He's not getting support from the Northeast. He's getting it

988
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 4: from the Midwest and the south. That's problem. So I

989
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: don't know, it could be that I totally this is

990
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 4: totally wrong, and it does hurt Biden. But in the

991
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: where he was getting thirteen to fifteen percent of the

992
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 4: Democratic nomination vote wasn't from the Democratic stalwarts, the party stalwarts.

993
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 4: It was from independence disaffected moderates who lean to the

994
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 4: Democratic Party, but they're not really basy, They're not you know,

995
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 4: solid Democrats. He was having a difficult time breaking in

996
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 4: to traditional Democratic constituencies, non whites, young people, self identified liberals.

997
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 4: So that's part. That's something we got to remember. And

998
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: then also there's this the hive mind and viewers of

999
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 4: Inside the Number know this term. We've been using it,

1000
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 4: and I notice others use it too, great because more

1001
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 4: the merrier Democrats are a hive and I don't mean

1002
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 4: this Democrats. If you're watching, you get insulted tough beings.

1003
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 4: If you don't like it, you should look in the

1004
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 4: mirror and reconsider what you are because you all are

1005
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 4: a hive mind. You don't have independent thought. Right. You

1006
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 4: follow the leader, you follow the movements, you circle the wagons.

1007
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 4: And when he starts attacking the DNC, which is the

1008
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 4: game plan, he will become a pariah and Democrats will

1009
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 4: say this guy is trying to help Trump, and then

1010
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 4: Democrats are going to close ranks. And so there's all

1011
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 4: of that going on. So again I'll try. I always

1012
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 4: trust the data and we'll see, we'll see what happens.

1013
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 4: But there is thing, by the way, there are things

1014
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 4: Trump can do to counter this.

1015
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was my next question.

1016
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look like, yeah, well RFK is not like

1017
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: I like that he is a Democrat that I feel

1018
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: like if I were in an elected official capacity in

1019
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, on certain issues, he would

1020
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: seem like he's pragmatic. But when you go do deep

1021
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: dives into some of his positions, like his position and

1022
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: stance on I would ban fracking. That is a killer

1023
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. It's a total, complete deal breaker for me,

1024
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: but it's also a deal breaker for a lot of

1025
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: real moderate Democrats who are Union Democrats that have been

1026
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: working in and around oil and gas jobs for the

1027
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: past twenty years. I mean, there's no way they're gonna

1028
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: be voting for somebody that would ban fracking.

1029
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: He's also horrible on guns. He's also said some.

1030
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: Terrible things about Trump, I mean and right, and so

1031
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: what can what can Trump do?

1032
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 4: What?

1033
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 1: So what can he do to because if we're going

1034
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: to say, okay, I'm wrong, he RFK. And by the way,

1035
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: my wife Melanie agrees that she thinks this hurts Trump.

1036
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: I would say more than it hurts Biden. But and

1037
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: she's got real good political instincts on stuff like this.

1038
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: But I just don't know. Because he is so extreme

1039
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: on a lot of things, Republicans haven't really attacked him

1040
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: at all. But if you if the position is that

1041
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: RFK hurts Trump more than Biden, and Trump has to

1042
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: do something because his margin is already going to be

1043
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: razor thin, and RFK in the race could be the

1044
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: nail in the coffin before the race even starts.

1045
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 4: He won Michigan in sixteen because of those disaffected Bernie voters.

1046
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 4: They were left wing populists. Michelle and Lansing Hills, Michigan.

1047
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 4: I'll never forget her. She was lifelong Democrat, totally a lib.

1048
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 4: But her husband lost her job, lost his job because

1049
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 4: of trade, which he blamed trade for Back then, Bernie

1050
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 4: was like Trump on trade, right, and then of course

1051
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 4: on immigration. So she said, I'm voting for Donald Trump

1052
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 4: because he's not really a Republican anyway. And you know

1053
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 4: that's I'm not voting for this Corporatis woman. I'm not

1054
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 4: doing it. This is the exact kind of Democrat who

1055
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 4: cost my husband his job. I'm not doing it. So

1056
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 4: people like that, I think RFK can appeal to because

1057
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 4: on some of those other issues she wouldn't mind, right,

1058
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 4: So what does Trump have to do move to influence

1059
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 4: the hive mind immediately? And you wouldn't even be lying

1060
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 4: by doing it. I know someone who's a friend of

1061
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 4: the family. He is pissed because he's a Trump supporter actually,

1062
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 4: and he think he feels like our K lie to

1063
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 4: him and he thinks that he either is a plant

1064
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 4: and he's been duping everyone from the beginning, or he's

1065
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 4: trying to bully Trump into giving him the VP slot.

1066
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 4: That's what really is happening, That's what this it believed

1067
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 4: me inside.

1068
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh, interesting, that's very interesting because there have been that

1069
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: rumors about Will Trump.

1070
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 4: Publicly, I'm sure. Actually, I think he's going to come

1071
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 4: out soon himself because Sean, he right off the bat

1072
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 4: he said, look me in the eye and tell me

1073
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 4: this isn't bull, you know, and he didn't like the answer.

1074
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, he thinks that it's either some kind of

1075
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 4: trick to get Trump to give him the VP nod

1076
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 4: or this has been a grift all along. So what

1077
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 4: could Trump do? Paint him as that? And you're you're

1078
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 4: not even lying. I mean, you he whether he is

1079
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 4: acting like it or not, is could you know? It

1080
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 4: is that spoiler guy. He's trying to be the reverse

1081
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 4: of Ross Burot. And if Trump does that, then republic

1082
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 4: you know, he'll have the opposite effect of the hive Democrats.

1083
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 4: They'll start sympathizing that Trump is hitting RFK because some

1084
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 4: I'm talking about not Democrats like you know, you're ancestral

1085
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 4: Democrats in western Virginia or parts of North Carolina that

1086
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 4: have been voting you know, for Trump. I'm talking about

1087
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 4: the southeastern Pennsylvania Democrat. I'm talking about Oakland County, Michigan Democrat,

1088
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 4: parts of McComb County. Those Democrats you have to get

1089
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 4: to sympathize with RFK. So they so if Trump is

1090
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 4: hitting him, then they're they're they'll close ranks around him,

1091
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 4: and Republicans will close ranks around Trump. Also, you named

1092
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 4: it with some of the positions. This is a guy

1093
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 4: who said the Parkland families are right, the NRA is

1094
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 4: a terrorist organization. This is you know, there's a lot

1095
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 4: shown that uh, that he could do. And frankly, I'd

1096
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 4: have been I'd have been firing away already if it

1097
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 4: was made, I would okay.

1098
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: So so, how so circling back to using Jen Saki's

1099
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: term and serling back to the I think the chaos

1100
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: that's playing out in the House right now, which again.

1101
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't really have a problem with it.

1102
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 1: I think by and large, it's good for the American

1103
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: people to get a sense of have a sense of transparency,

1104
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: get a sense of, you know, how certain people vote.

1105
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to any of this, but how do

1106
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: you think that this plays with the American people. I've

1107
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: seen polls that have chastised Gates by saying that, you know,

1108
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy buying large is not wholly unpopular with conservatives. In fact,

1109
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of Poles saying that, well, he's

1110
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: not like pulling off the charts is popular.

1111
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 2: People are maybe they disbelieve that he would do a

1112
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: good job.

1113
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: At first, but maybe he's earned some respect after having

1114
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: served in the role of speaker for some time now.

1115
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: So how do the people if you're reading the tea

1116
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: leaves on this now? I mean, I'll tell you how

1117
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: you know how this makes me feel as a both

1118
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: a voter and somebody who's run for office a couple

1119
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: of times. It just pisses me off. It's like, look,

1120
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: I just think, like, well, damn, the Republicans just can't

1121
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: get it together. Even with everything that's on the line,

1122
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: Republicans just can't get it together. And it frustrates me.

1123
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: But how do you think, how do you think the

1124
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: American people see all of this.

1125
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 4: With when you're thinking about the Republicans in general, that's

1126
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 4: probably gonna give them a little bit of a renewed faith.

1127
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 4: There'll be some that are pissed Sean, you know, they'll

1128
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 4: be the Mark Levins and others. You can see them,

1129
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, wildly swing, but there is They're never really

1130
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 4: the problem. They're going to vote Republican anyway. The problem

1131
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 4: are those voters who feel like Republicans just repeatedly lie

1132
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 4: to them and betray them. This may actually help with them,

1133
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 4: but I'll tell you in the short term, it's probably

1134
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 4: gonna hurt overall with the American people. It's they just

1135
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,959
Speaker 4: don't especially independents, they don't like disorder. I called them

1136
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 4: I wish Trump would have listened in twenty twenty. I

1137
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 4: called them the seasick voter. It's not that they disliked

1138
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 4: how Trump was handling the presidency. They didn't like the

1139
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 4: state of the nation. Constantly, you know, one crisis to

1140
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 4: an other, one hoax to another one. And it wasn't

1141
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 4: even his fault. I'm not saying it was, but he

1142
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 4: isn't the kind of guy to coddle you and say

1143
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 4: rut was a hoax, Get over it. The economy's roaring,

1144
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 4: that's him, you know, when in fact, though, there are

1145
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 4: some Independents who really needed somebody more of a consoler

1146
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 4: in chief. You know, we called him the see sick

1147
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 4: voters because it was simple. The boat was just constantly

1148
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 4: rocking and they were getting nauseous. They were getting sick,

1149
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 4: and instead of I mean, if you're seasick, hanging your

1150
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 4: head off the end of the boat rolling up into

1151
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 4: the ocean. Do you want someone saying, knock it off, weenie,

1152
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 4: you know the economy's ripping. Or do you want someone

1153
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 4: to hold the back of your head and tell you

1154
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,479
Speaker 4: don't worry. The storm is gonna calm and it's gonna

1155
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 4: be okay. So we're going to get through this together.

1156
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 4: Trump should have did that in twenty twenty, and he

1157
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 4: would not have lost some of the people that he

1158
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 4: did lose because he did. It's not the baby with

1159
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 4: the bathwater.

1160
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: That's such a great point. That's such a great point.

1161
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: And I'll just tell you this. You know, having run

1162
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: for Congress in that cycle we did. We were pulling

1163
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: all throughout the race and one of the very steep

1164
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: drop off and this is significant I think in Pennsylvania,

1165
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: but especially in western Pennsylvania, but with seniors. Trump was

1166
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: cruising to re election and I mean cruising to re

1167
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: election prior to COVID. But when COVID happened that it

1168
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: was the tumultuous nature of the actual pandemic and the

1169
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: lockdowns and the nursing homes and the death tickers on

1170
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: CNN every day, which by the way, disappeared at the

1171
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: moment Biden walked into the White House. But like, but

1172
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: his support with with seniors, just because of like the

1173
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: up and down seasick type, the vote was making him sick,

1174
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,959
Speaker 1: so to speak. Just his support fell off a cliff.

1175
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, we saw that. We saw that reflected

1176
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: in the polls as well.

1177
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 4: There were some people who said, look and again, I know,

1178
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 4: we got more votes. I know he's definitely I don't

1179
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: care what even some of the polls suggests. He's obviously

1180
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 4: the most popular of the life to Republican president ever,

1181
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 4: probably in our lifetime. Look, because you just don't get

1182
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 4: that many votes. If you're not popular, doesn't happen votes.

1183
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. So he we're talking about a small group though,

1184
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 4: that he needed, especially considering what Democrats threw with him.

1185
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 4: And he did slip, even from Pennsylvania to Florida to Michigan.

1186
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 4: He slipped with an older demographic that really is just

1187
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 4: not used to the country being like that. You know, again,

1188
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 4: the boat constantly rocking, and especially if they're independent, not

1189
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 4: so much if they're you know, self identified Republicans, but

1190
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 4: older independents they didn't like the boat rocking. Constantly. It

1191
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 4: didn't matter. It was the media's fault. Everyone even kind

1192
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 4: of knew it was. But that wasn't the point. It

1193
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 4: was how Trump reacted to it. Sometimes that bothered them.

1194
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 4: And when COVID came, you know, it gave them the

1195
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 4: perfect storyline to tell those voters like, you're at risk.

1196
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 4: Look at how many of you actually died already. And

1197
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,959
Speaker 4: by the way, Trump did a lot of votes sean

1198
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 4: by them dying from COVID. That happened, you know, without

1199
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 4: a doubt, that targeted groups that were more Trump voters.

1200
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 4: It's just almost like and you know, now I'm not

1201
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 4: going down that rabbit pole, but I'm just saying the

1202
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 4: Chinese just so happened to unleash you virus on the

1203
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 4: world that you know, didn't target younger liberals. It targeted

1204
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 4: older people and they were afraid, you know, for a

1205
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 4: while there, they were afraid and they needed more reassurance.

1206
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 4: And not all of them, but a lot of them.

1207
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 4: And elections are one of the margins. So you slip

1208
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania fifty eight, you know, forty with seniors, if

1209
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 4: you slipped to fifty four forty six, you're gonna lose

1210
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 4: and that's what happened.

1211
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Well, so look at six o'clock.

Speaker 1: the cat litterbox, which is kind of a running joke

1227
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: on the show.

1228
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 2: But again, it can get pretty chaotic around here.

1229
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: So you've got five kids and her cats and so

1230
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: so thank you, Pops.

1231
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.

1232
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 4: Rich.

1233
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: Where can people find you and how can people support you?

1234
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Because we have a very very active audience, and just

1235
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: tell them, tell them what they can do.

1236
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 4: Central hub is Locals People's Pundit dot locals dot com.

1237
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 4: And like I was talking about the polling, that's all

1238
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 4: through the Public Polling Project, which we crowdfund, So if

1239
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 4: you can contribute, that would be great, and we you know,

1240
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 4: if it doesn't make the target, then we just fill that,

1241
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 4: you know the rest of that. So we're obviously trying

1242
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 4: to build that contributor base up as much, but if

1243
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 4: you go to locals you'll see it right there anyway,

1244
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 4: So the best place to just go is locals People's

1245
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 4: Pundit dot locals dot com. And Sean, let me just say,

1246
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 4: we're also re adding the social bias indicators because they

1247
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 4: talked about the shy Trump vote in sixteen and twenty.

1248
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 4: That was when the media ridiculed you.

1249
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 2: You know, that's it.

1250
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 4: Right now we have law enforcement persecuting you. So I

1251
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 4: can't help but to wonder whether or not, even though

1252
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 4: Trump is doing so much better than he always did

1253
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 4: in the polling, is it possible he's actually doing even better?

1254
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: And people, okay, before you go, tell us, tell us

1255
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: about this. This is a great point. The shy Trump voter,

1256
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: the idea that it was very hard to capture back

1257
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two before I let

1258
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: you go, just to give people a sense of what

1259
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: you mean, people were just first of all, they didn't

1260
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: trust polsters. They didn't conservatives especially didn't want people calling

1261
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: him asking them probing political questions about who they believed in,

1262
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: because they were afraid of just being ridiculed socially. Now,

1263
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: you're right, that's a great point. Then you have actual

1264
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: institutions of our government going after these people. And so yeah,

1265
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: if you thought that they didn't talk back in twenty twenty,

1266
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: you could.

1267
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: They're definitely not talking now. So how are you measuring that?

1268
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 4: So we we had what we called the social Bias Indicators,

1269
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 4: and we asked a series of questions that basically were

1270
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 4: designed to measure someone's comfort level during the interview, giving

1271
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 4: certain responses such as your political beliefs, how you you know,

1272
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 4: such as how you intend to vote, you know, And

1273
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 4: we asked series you know, how about when you're talking

1274
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 4: to your neighbors, coworkers, your friends, your families, strangers and

1275
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 4: pollsters of course, and we would measure whether they were,

1276
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 4: you know, between this very much like a favorability scale,

1277
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 4: but between being very uncomfortable with a particular question to

1278
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 4: being you know, somewhat uncomfortable or somewhat comfortable, very comfortable.

1279
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 4: And what we could see these groups routinely, you know,

1280
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 4: presenting during these indicators. We called them throwing signals. You know,

1281
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 4: just like a adverse effect is measured when you're testing, uh,

1282
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 4: you know, vaccines or something. And they would throw these

1283
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 4: signals into their system. That's what they call them, throwing signals.

1284
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 4: That's how we kind of modeled it. And we would

1285
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 4: see these same groups Sean over and over again throw

1286
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 4: these signals, one of them white suburban women, and he

1287
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 4: always maybe he would lose them, but he never did

1288
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 4: as bad as the poles always suggested. And that's because

1289
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 4: they don't want to go to the top away party

1290
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 4: and have their friends find out that they voted for

1291
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, right. And another one young black men. They

1292
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 4: were constantly throwing these signals. Well what about Now, that's

1293
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 4: when you could just be made fun of or your

1294
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 4: aunt would yell at you. Now you could get fifteen years,

1295
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 4: you know. So I can't help but to say to myself,

1296
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 4: now it's time to put them back and see because

1297
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 4: I think we're you know, we're in a wholly different period. Now,

1298
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 4: I bet you it's there. We're gonna find out what

1299
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 4: it's a.

1300
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,880
