1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Americans are struggling, people are seeing their wage increases, eating 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: up by inflation, lives or at stake. Are there any 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: limits on abortion you would find appropriate. I don't believe 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: that the border is wide open. It's open in Our 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: streets are unsafe. Every day gets scarier. The governments. He's weaponized, 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: my Republicans, represented, extremism, and so much more. These are 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: the issues we're facing in the twenty twenty two mid 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: term elections. It's me Jesse, let's talk about these mid terms, huh, 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: because there are big world changing things going on right now. 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: And I've told you before and I'm not going to 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: change my tune on this ever. The midterms are critical. 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: They are They are critical that we win as many 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: seats as possible. Even if we do, we have a long, long, 14 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: long road to hoe to unpack a government that is 15 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: so rotted and corrupted it may not be salvageable, but 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: we do. We have a lot to dig into, and 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of things we need the low 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: tgop to dig into. After we give them a victory, 19 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: we have to demand these things. Remember our elected representatives, 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: they are pathetic losers. Most of them are lifetime losers. 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: They were losers. They've been losers their whole lives, so 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: they don't go to Washington and act the way you 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: want them to act. You think we're sending warriors back 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: there to Washington to see or at least that's what 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: you want, that's what I want. Now we send losers 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: and we need's back there. So we have to be 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: their strength, meaning we have to browbeat them into doing 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: things we want done, things like, oh, I don't know, 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: attacking the people who have intentionally opened up our border. 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: This is what's so wild, and it's it's gonna come 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: into play on all five of these issues. We're about 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: to go over five minute term issues, and we have 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: great guests and all that stuff tonight. What's so wild 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: about this is it's not that Democrats are failing at 35 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: these things. It's that they're intentionally destroying these things. You know, 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: do you know that your money you went to work today, 37 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: you earned some money. You know that the money that 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: you're paying the government, it's being used to keep the 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: border wall from being built. This government is intentionally keeping 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: the border open. The DHS secretary, that's the head of 41 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security, I know you already know this, 42 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: but he is a lifelong open borders guy. We took 43 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: a guy who believes borders should be open and we 44 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: put him in charge of securing the borders. And speaking 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: of the border, is the border safe now? I'm watching 46 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: a news channel and they were talking about an invasion 47 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: was happening, and I got a little concerned. Look the border, 48 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the border is secure. The border. We are working to 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge. 50 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: You know what. The most amazing thing about that interview was, Okay, 51 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: so we have that hack communist loser up there conducting 52 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: the interview. That's a friendly interview. He even made some 53 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: funny joke. Ha ha ha I heard it's an evasion, 54 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: ha ha ha. It's really funny to him, and he 55 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: gave Mayorcus this softball and even then Mayorcus, well, I 56 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: don't know. The border. It is secure, but could be 57 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: more secure. Good news is if we get Republicans in 58 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: there with some spine, we can actually impeach the DHS 59 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: secretary who's intentionally keeping the border open. That's issue number one. 60 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: Issue number two, well, that was issue number five. Quite 61 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Issue number four is the military. This is not something 62 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: we think about a lot. And I'll tell you why 63 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: we don't think about it a lot. We're used to winning, 64 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: or at least not losing. It's just we're used to 65 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: having the best military out there. We're used to being 66 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: number one when it comes to military power, and we're 67 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: not used to And you realize it is the norm 68 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: for other nations around the world, the norm, the vast 69 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: of them. You know what, they've known their whole lives. 70 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't think our military can defeat that military. 71 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: Oh I know, we can't defeat that military. They've had 72 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: to know the fear that comes with having a military 73 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that can be beaten. You an American, you've never known that. 74 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't care how old you are, You've never known that. 75 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: I've never known that. I'm forty one years old. We're 76 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: going to know that one day, you know that, Ryan, 77 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: Before the day they bury me, we will know that 78 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: the United States military is not number one anymore. And 79 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: it's being done intentionally. That's what's so crazy about it. 80 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: It's being done on purpose from within the inside. We 81 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: have a military so out of focus on what matters 82 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: and so laser focused on what doesn't matter, that it's 83 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: going to take decades to put this thing back together. 84 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: We talk all the time about the hard purge of 85 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: the military. They still have a vaccine mandate. With everything 86 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: we know now about the effectiveness or lack thereof, of 87 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: the vaccine, when we know everything about the dangers it 88 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: poses to people, they still have a vaccine mandate. Well, okay, 89 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: all the Republicans are getting out, and no new Republicans 90 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: are going to join to be mandated to take that. 91 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: That's the hard purge. The soft purge is we now 92 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: have the LGBTQ white people suck military. And guess what, 93 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: once again, anyone on the rights getting out. Anyone on 94 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: the right who's seventeen, maybe wants to fight for his country, 95 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: he's not going to join. Our military is now so feckless, 96 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: so directionless, so lost. They won't do anything about China 97 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: are number one geopolitical phone in the world. They won't 98 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: do anything about China buying up farmland right by our 99 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: military basis. I've given the fact that known adversary in 100 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: the case of China, foreign buyers are buying up US 101 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: real estate, in some case farms around military installations. Is 102 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: this on the administration's radar? And what is being done, 103 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: perhaps to study this, or to protect Americans from making 104 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: sure that homes remain affordable, and so on. I think 105 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: the question of homeownership is a little bit out of 106 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: my out of my swim lane, but particularly when it 107 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: comes to around military installations, I'm probably not the right 108 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: person to ask about homeownership here in the United stateswnership, 109 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: this is about buying up land around military installations is 110 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: not a concern to this administration. To your office last week, 111 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: if how don't week to look at this, including there, 112 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: you can get back to you afterward of a month. 113 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: He wouldn't answer the question, Well, we'll take a look 114 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: at it. After the dog ate my homework. We'll get 115 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: back to you. Wouldn't even answer the question, which brings 116 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: us to issue number three. I know that you and 117 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: maybe we sit down every day and we talk about 118 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: big issues, border right, military, talk about the FBI, we 119 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: talk about all these things. But here's the truth. The 120 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: truth is people were watching their lives, their standard of 121 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: living go down. And that's something many people have never 122 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: experienced in their lives. Most of us have experienced a 123 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: steady improvement, maybe a little blip here there in our 124 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: standard of living. Get order and make a little more money, 125 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: move on up in the world, you know, like the 126 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: Jefferson's not now. Right now, we're watching the worst inflation 127 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: we've seen in forty years, and every indication is it's 128 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: about to get much, much, much worse. You can tell 129 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: because they're raising interest rates. And not only do we 130 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: have it, the President of the United States doesn't think 131 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: there's really big deal about it. People are shocked by 132 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster? Well, 133 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: first of all, let's put this in perspective. Inflation rate 134 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: month to month was just an inche hardly at all. 135 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: You're not arguing that eight point three is good news. No, 136 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it is good news. But it was 137 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: a point two or eight point two before. I mean, 138 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: it's not. You may I can make it sound like 139 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, my god, it went to eight 140 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: point two percent. It's the highest inflation rate, mister President 141 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: in forty years. I got that. But guess what we are. 142 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: We're in a position where for the last several months 143 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: it hasn't spiked and has just barely it has been 144 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: basically even We're in serious trouble. Now, where did all 145 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: this trouble come from. How did how do we turn 146 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: into a country that's this? What happened to us? What happened? 147 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: What happened to America? If you want to really boil 148 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: it down, I mean, we look at all the insanity 149 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: from government to the administrative state, to entertainment, I mean 150 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: the sports world. But how did any of that happen? 151 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: How did all this happen? The truth is the most 152 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: devastating thing we allowed the communists to take over in 153 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: this country is actually the education system because everything flowed 154 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: from there. Everything. How did the communists take over corporate America? 155 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: Aren't they supposed to all be about money? Well they 156 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: were until we let the communists take over Harvard and Stanford. 157 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: How did everyone in the administrative state turn into such 158 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: a communist activist? Well we let them take over the 159 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: education system. Remember, you filter your children through this system. 160 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: A nation's education system is everything. If children are taught 161 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: from a very young age that America sucks, America's evil, 162 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: America's racist. America deserves to be brought to its knees. 163 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: And they go through sixteen years of that kind of 164 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: an education system, that's going to affect the entire nation 165 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: that's filtering the water of your country through a dirty jockstrap. 166 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: And those were the teachers that have been teaching your kids. 167 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: These are the teachers who are currently teaching your kids. 168 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: So at the start of a semester, I asked my 169 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: students for their pronouns, a reminder that they are not preferred, 170 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: but they are the pronouns that we should be addressing 171 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: them by. And I also ask them to tell me 172 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: if I can use their pronouns in front of the class, 173 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: in front of other teachers and when I go home, 174 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: because everyone is in a different part of their journey 175 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: and we need to read well to respect that. I've 176 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: been doing some reading this summer, and so I thought 177 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: I would share a couple of books because you have 178 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of time left to do some reading. 179 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: I also read Jack Not Jackie by Erica Silverman, phenomenal read. 180 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: So if you're a K one, two, three, even it's 181 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: a really good read called Jack Not Jackie. And I 182 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: really enjoyed that and I'm excited it'll be on our 183 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: shelves in the media center. Those fault do you have 184 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: a mon a key McK cried, And although you can 185 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: try better, men have hit their knees and bigger men. 186 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: What do you think the future of the country looks 187 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: like when those are the people teaching your kids? And 188 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: that actually brings us perfectly to number one. Oh, I'm 189 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: worried about inflation in the border, and the military and 190 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: the teachers, worried about all these things. There is nothing 191 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: more dangerous that's happening in the United States of America 192 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: right now than what is happening in your administrative state. 193 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: You see what you've heard, especially for the last six 194 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,359 Speaker 1: years or so, as a steady drumbeat. The comment, the platform, 195 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: the official platform of the Democrat at a party, is 196 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: that you are an enemy of the state. You're an 197 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: enemy of the state. You're a Nazi, You're a white supremacist, 198 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: You're a threat to democracy. The President of the United 199 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: States called you as much respect to conservatives like Federal 200 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: Circuit Court Judge Michael Legend has called Trump and the 201 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: extreme maggar Republicans quote, a clear and present danger to 202 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: our democracy. While the threat to American democracy is real, 203 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: I want to say as clearly as we can, we 204 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: are not powerless in the face of these threats. We 205 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy. Why 206 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: do they do that? Why do they call you an 207 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: enemy of the state, a clearer and president danger to America? 208 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: Why what's the purpose of all of it? Well, One, 209 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: they want to signal to their street communist base, you know, 210 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: the BLMS, the NTIVA, there's the low life scum of society. 211 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: They want to signal to them that it's open season 212 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: to commit acts the violence on you. And two, more importantly, 213 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: they want to be able to justify taking all those 214 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: guns the federal government has and pointing them at you. 215 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: That's why what you see now is an ongoing, continuous 216 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: effort to make you an enemy of the country so 217 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: they can smash you. All that may have made you uncomfortable, 218 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: but I am right. My friends Ryan Grdusky and Terry 219 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: Shilling are going to join me next. Each morning, the 220 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing 221 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: on the most important issues facing the country. It's called 222 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's 223 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: spies and analysts. Now you can hear your very own 224 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me. 225 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations Officer. Each morning 226 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty 227 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving 228 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start 229 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: your morning. My issues aren't everyone's issues, and I don't 230 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: just mean my personal issues. No, my campaign issues aren't 231 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: everyone's issues. I don't know what wins and what loses. 232 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: I lost two congressional races. Joining me now my friend 233 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: Terry's Shilling, president of the American Principles Project, and Ryan Gurdusky, 234 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: who's doing great things on school board races across the 235 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: country with the seventeen seventy six project. Back all right, Brian, 236 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: start with you. I think the most dangerous issue in 237 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: the country is the administrative state. I understand there are 238 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: huge issues like inflation in the border, and I get that. 239 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: I think if we have an FBI fully weaponized against 240 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: the right, there is no more tree. But maybe that's 241 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: a loser on the campaign trail. Let's say you yeah, 242 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: I think that's something maybe for people who watch this 243 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: program and maybe some other programs, and who are very 244 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: very involved in Republican politics as of mobilizing and galvanizing issue. 245 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: I think though, for the average voter, the John Q 246 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: public who is maybe not as engaged, who are still 247 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: undecided what they're going to vote for. The economy is 248 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: the number one issue. I mean, it is a really, really, 249 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: really important thing. They do feel it constantly, but I 250 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: would stress to Republican candidates and republic votors it's not 251 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: the most mobilizing issue for Republicans. It doesn't get their 252 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: blood boiling as much as other issues. I would focus 253 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: on the other big three in my opinion, which is 254 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be crime, immigration, and education. I think those 255 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: are the things that said they're in excite people. It's 256 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: what led to Glen junk In being elected over in Virginia. 257 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: It came very close to Republicans winning in a number 258 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: of other places, and the issue of crime and listen 259 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: led to Republican mayors being elected in New York City 260 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: and Los Angeles in the nineties. And I think now 261 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: with viral videos, people can see crimes sentence every single 262 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: day constantly, and it's a galvanizing thing where people don't 263 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: feel safe, especially with these bail law reforms. Terry, I 264 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: hate to be mister doom and Gloom, but I'm a 265 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: natural cynic. Ryan's of course, right, the crime led to 266 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: somebody like Rudy Giuliani being elected in New York. I 267 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: do not view us as being in a time of 268 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: pendulum swings. I think the cities are going to descend 269 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: into an endless black hole of violence. But I could 270 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: be wrong. Let's see you. No, I think that that's 271 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: the big danger. Right. A decline doesn't always mean there's 272 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: going to be a rejuvenation, right. The decline usually leads 273 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: to more decline. And what we're seeing in these blue 274 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: cities essentially, like I'm from Illinois, right, so I'm very 275 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: familiar with Chicago machine style politics. I think what's happened 276 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: is all of these blue cities and a lot of 277 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: these blue states have replicated that Chicago machine style election 278 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: system to where the game's rigged. Right, You're never going 279 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: to get a Republican governor elected to California. They fix 280 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: the system, They've they've taken care of that. And what's 281 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: going to happen is the more crime, the more destruction, 282 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the more people are going to be fleeing these cities, 283 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: these states, and the more violence the experience, they're just 284 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: gonna leave and they're gonna go to the other states. 285 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: And keep voting this way. Decline is going to lead 286 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: to more decline, unfortunately, especially with the state of the 287 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: Republican Party. Now there is some rejuvenation, we do have 288 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: the Decanus of the world rising up, but there's still 289 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: a minority, right, There's still a very small minority in 290 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. But I do think there's a huge 291 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: opening for someone like that to take national charge and 292 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: then maybe bring in the National Guards some of these 293 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: cities that are really having serious crimes frees and bring 294 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: in some law and order and show people there's another way. Ryan, 295 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned crime being a big deal, and it obviously 296 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: is a big deal in the election, But why is 297 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: it such a big deal for Republicans Like I don't 298 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: live in one of these big cities. I would never 299 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: live in one of these holes. I can look and 300 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: be horrified, but it's not a huge issue from because 301 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: the crime in my area is fine. I'm not worried 302 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: about that. Nobody's pooping on the sidewalk out in front 303 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: of my house. Why Republicans care so much about this, Well, 304 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: if it was just in these big cities, I would 305 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: agree with you, But crime is a thirty percent in 306 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: rural America. Crime is a forty percent in suburban America. 307 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: And what elected really Trudy Giuliani more than just the 308 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: issue of crime as a whole, was the fact that 309 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: crime was being committed specifically against one very important group 310 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: in the subject of New York City, which is Orthodox 311 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: Jews who voted heavily for Democrats for mayor and then 312 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: flipped a vote heavily Republicans and elected Republicans or twenty 313 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: years in New York City. Well, Orthodox Jews continue aboute Republican, 314 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: especially in national issues. But what other two groups now 315 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: are seeing crime in their areas and huge numbers Hispanics 316 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: and Asian These are the two issues, and they are not, 317 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: unfortunately leaving these cities in droves. They have to live there, 318 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean many of them live working class jobs. They 319 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: don't have the ability to just sit there and have 320 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: telecommunication jobs and suburbs. They have to live in cities. 321 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: This is the issue. You're gonna sit there and bring them. 322 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: And also, by the way, if you're not going to 323 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: compete in these big blue states, good luck winning the 324 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: House back. If unless California delivers a dozen Republican congressmen, 325 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, good luck samely with New York, samely with Illinois, 326 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: same thing with New Jersey, same thing with a lot 327 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: of these other states. If you lose, if you can 328 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: just give up on blue states and you give up 329 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: on these congressional districts in blue states, the ones that 330 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: deliver in Long Island and upstate, in Orange County and 331 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: in the Central Valley of California, with those Hispanic voters, 332 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: you can't win the majority back. They're just I mean, 333 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: you can't fix it because within these these big red 334 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: states you have that Dallas in Texas and the growing 335 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: suburbs of Dallas and Texas, which are all very very blue. 336 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: So I think that crime is a very very important issue. 337 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: And the fact that people see it every single day 338 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: on their cell phone cameras, on the cell phone cameras, 339 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: on their computers, and on their social media accounts, I 340 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: think it can be an incredibly galvanizing issue. And the 341 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: fact that also, by the way, we see who's committing 342 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: the crime every single solitary day in many of these 343 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: major incident and let me tell you, we don't see 344 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: the same demographics at Trump rallies. It's not wrong, Terry, 345 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna win back the midterms, Right, That's 346 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: what this is all about. We're gonna win the midterms. 347 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna win the midterms. But who's going to win 348 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: in the mid terms. I want to win the midterms 349 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: as much as the next man. I want these lunatics 350 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: to stop being in control of Congress. What am I 351 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: going to get strongly worded letters? Am I going to 352 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: get hearings? Am I going to get any kind of action? 353 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Because you're gonna have to forgive me if I don't 354 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: have a ton of faith And the Republican Party, well, 355 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, Jessee, I think this is something that we've 356 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: talked about, and Ryan, I think we've talked about this 357 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: as well. The problem with the Republican Party, the big 358 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: weakness that they have, is that they are not taken 359 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: seriously by voters. Voters don't trust them to be an 360 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: effective alternative or effective opposition to the Democratic Party. We've 361 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: had time and time again Republicans talk a big game, 362 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 1: they make a lot of big promises, and then when 363 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: they get into office, it's nothing right. And you're kind 364 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: of seeing this play out right now with abortion, right, 365 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: and I know that some people don't think abortion should 366 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: be a big issue this election. There's no changing that 367 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to go on offense and accuse you 368 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: of putting women in jail. We can't even get a 369 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: large amount of Republicans in the Senate to embrace a 370 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: fifteen week bill that's halfway through the pregnancy almost that's 371 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: when the baby can feel pain. It's a no brainer. 372 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: It's where sixty percent of the Americans are. Yet all 373 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: these Republican senators are saying silent on it. So look, 374 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you in the pessimism. My hope remains in 375 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: this new crop of Republicans that are coming up. You know, 376 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: the Blake Masters of the World, that Jade Advances, the 377 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Adam Laxalts. These are new guys that are coming up, 378 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: and they're very bold, they're they're serious, and they're tired 379 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: of the way things have been running and they want 380 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: to make a serious change. And so I think we 381 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: get more and those guys running. This is going to 382 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: take a change in leadership. And I wouldn't expect anything 383 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: too huge to come out as next Congress, primarily because 384 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: we will have a Democrat president. But at the same time, 385 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: there is a new generation of Republicans that are taking 386 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: the stage, and I think they're much more serious and 387 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: much more pessimistic like Hugh and I. But they're also 388 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: determined to make a change. Ryan, I know change in 389 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: leadership when it comes to a party, it's always it's 390 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: always lagging behind the base. Right, Yeah, I wanted to 391 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: all these I want all the losers to leave. Well 392 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: that's that's a ten to twenty of your process to 393 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: slowly get all of them out. Is it happening though, 394 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: because it's not all bad news, it's es it. We 395 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: do have a great crop of guys coming up. I'm 396 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: actually excited about. And I know there's still that loser 397 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney and knows like him sitting in there, but 398 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: they are slowly going away, right Well, I mean listen, 399 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean you might not like Mitch McConnell, but he 400 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: will He's a man of a particular age and he 401 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: won't be around forever. And there are the people who 402 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: who are their back ventures, let's say, are not stars 403 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: or not able to wielpower. I think it's esstantial ast him. 404 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: So I think the Republican leadership will definitely have a 405 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: major confrontation with its future in a very near term. 406 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: I think that you're looking for change and some hope, Listen, 407 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has appointed eighty three federal judges in his 408 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: first two years as president, like more than twenty months 409 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: as president, more than even Donald Trump did, more than 410 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: any recent president has done. And they're very, very very 411 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: radical leftists. That slows down substantially if the Republicans take 412 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: the Senate, even if Moderates win the Senate, that slows 413 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: down immensely. But if you're looking for massive change, where 414 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: you're going to see it is in these governorships and 415 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: in these state legislatures. I think Carry Lake gives a 416 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: lot of promise in Arizona. I think there's a number 417 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: of people even you know, even Brian Kempt people don't 418 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: like Brian Kemp has done a lot of good things 419 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: for the state of Georgia. And I think Rona, Santas 420 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: and Larida, any of the state legislatures, you're going to 421 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: see immense changes when it comes to you know, social issues, education, crime, policing, 422 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: the transisues. Tennessee became the first state to ban performing 423 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: a transgender operation on a minor. I think you'll see 424 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: that replicated across the board, and a lot of these 425 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: loser Republicans like the governor of Arkansas who veto those 426 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: bills are being replaced by much stronger Even if they're 427 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: more moderate, they are more right wing of the version 428 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: of the people they were placing. So there's a lot 429 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: of hope you had, especially at the local level, and 430 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: that's where your vote matters the most. Amen, Remember how 431 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: we take back America legal and local, legal and local. 432 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: That's the solution. Ryan Terry, thank you both so much. 433 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thanks. All right, we're not done any 434 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: joining me now my friends. Selena Zito highly recommend you 435 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: go sign up for her newsletter. Author of the book 436 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: The Great Revolt. Selena travels the back roads of this country, 437 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: doesn't fly, doesn't take the highways. She was also the 438 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: only person I know, only major media figure, to tell 439 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: everybody Trump's going to win back in twenty sixteen. Everyone 440 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: told her she would a nutball, and then, because she's 441 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: nicer than me, she refused to spike the football and 442 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: everyone's face like I would have. Selena, all right, you're 443 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: still on the same back roads. What are people out 444 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: there saying they're very unhappy with Washington. I have not 445 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: seen any evidence of this sort of support for Democrats 446 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: that they've been talking about for the past month, I 447 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: have seen it remains steady. They're very unhappy with the 448 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: party in power. It has a lot to do with 449 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: inflation and also out of control crime, but also the 450 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: fetinyl crisis, which is we all know it comes across 451 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: the border. They're very, very out of touch with the 452 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: lives of the people that they serve. Okay, explain that 453 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: to me. Fetnyl crisis. I obviously know about one hundred 454 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: thousand overdoses last year. It's horrific. I know the things 455 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: I hear. Why are people on the back roads and 456 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: swing states upset about fentnel? Well, because it's not just 457 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: in you know, um, you know, it was always sort 458 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: of this White Appalachia problem, right places where manufacturing had 459 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: disappeared and never came back and people were stuck and 460 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: they didn't have anywhere to go. It's now in the suburbs, 461 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: it's also in the big cities. It's everywhere. It's training 462 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: their children's schools, it's impacting their children at at their colleges, 463 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: and it's in their neighborhood. And when it gets that 464 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: personal and that real, you know, people react and they want, 465 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: they want answers, and they're not getting any answers. Selena 466 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: Jensaki echoed basically what you just said on TV and 467 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: talked about how crime is a major problem for Democrats. 468 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: If it is a friend him on the president, they 469 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: will lose and they know that. They also know that 470 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 1: crime is a huge vulnerability for Democrats. I would say 471 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: one of the biggest vulnerabilities. Okay, here's my question, Selena. 472 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: It was obviously all Democrats support groups burning down American 473 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: cities in twenty twenty and people didn't run to the 474 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: pools and vote Republican then. But why the anger at 475 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: Democrats now? Well, actually, in twenty twenty they did. They 476 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: just didn't vote for Donald Trump. So you look down 477 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: ballot and Democrats already solved their problem. They knew what 478 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: their problem was going into this election. They based that 479 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: problem in twenty twenty one as well, but they tried 480 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: to pretend that they could deal with it. They tried 481 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: to pretend that they could go around it. But this 482 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: has been a problem that's been escalating and it has 483 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: been drawing suburban voters back to Republicans because of the 484 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: way that the Democrats have handled crime. Republicans won down 485 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: value in twenty twenty in huge amounts. People just didn't 486 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: pay attention to that because Joe Biden won. So, Lena, 487 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: do you think there's a chance we're going to have 488 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: any kind of a flip in cities in the urban areas. 489 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: And no, I don't think I'm gonna wake up of 490 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: the day after election Day in Philadelphia is going to 491 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: be blood red, but any kind of a shift back 492 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: towards the right, because frankly, they're the ones who are 493 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: really being ravaged by this crime. So for voters that 494 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: have historically voted Democrat, in particular minority voters, this is 495 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: something that takes a generation to change. However, what they 496 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: will do is not show up, and that's just as 497 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: bad for Democrats as if they vote Republican. And I 498 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: think that's what you're going to see. You saw that 499 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen in Philadelphia. They just sat on their 500 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: hands and said, we don't like anybody. Neither of these 501 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: people were as our person. And I definitely think you 502 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: were going to see that in major cities, not just 503 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but across the country. Selena, well, 504 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: here I'll give it to Kamala Harris to explain what 505 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: I think is their strategy for this November. Extremist so 506 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: called leaders across our nation began to pass and enforce 507 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: laws to criminalize doctors, nurses, healthcare providers. And these so 508 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: called extremist leaders are passing laws to criminalize these folks, 509 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: passing laws to punish women. Okay, the extreme thing. This 510 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: is very clearly something that has gone out as the 511 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: talking point in the Democratic Party. Everyone remembers Biden's speech. 512 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: There was Dome talking about it. Every Democrat throughout Congress 513 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: talks about this all the time. I know they're trying 514 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: to motivate their base. Does that message, look, I'm not 515 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: one of these swing voters. I know where I'm voting. 516 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: Does that message resonate with these rust belt swing voters 517 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: at all? No, it doesn't, because they're talking about people 518 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: that are friends of the voters. They're trying to attract 519 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: right and their family members and their neighbors. And they 520 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: look at these at their neighbors and say, well, I 521 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: know they're Republican, but they're not extreme, and so it's 522 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: a non starter to get a swing voter. And I'm 523 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: sorry I lost my voice. It is Okay, Selena Zito 524 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: go to Selena zito dot com sign up to a newsletter. 525 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, ma'am, Thank you so much. All right, I'm 526 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: not we still got a ton to go. Glenn young 527 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: can fascinates me. I'm hearing really good things. Hang on. 528 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: I think this is a moment for the Republican Party 529 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: to recognize exactly what I recognize last year was this 530 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: is not an or moment, but an a moment. I mean, 531 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: we brought together Virginians last year forever Trumpers, never Trumpers, independence, Democrats. 532 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: We won. We won the Latino vote, the Asian vote, 533 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: the largest voter turnout for Black Virginians that anybody can 534 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: remember to vote for Republican. I mean, I think this 535 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: is the future of the Republican Party, which is to 536 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: recognize that we have to come together and these common sense, 537 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: kitchen table issues that are on the forefront of everybody's mind. Inflation, schools, 538 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: safe communities, an economy that isn't stealing everybody's hard working 539 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: money through inflation, because a job. This is where the 540 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: Republicans twenty This is the Republicans who that we can win. 541 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: Had a little birdie tell me recently, somebody who would 542 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: know that Glenn Younkin is a stud that he's viewed nationally. 543 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: Is this kind of maybe a little milktoast guy that 544 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: it is? That is not the case at all, that 545 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: he is a severely impressive human being in somebody we 546 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: should be watching out for as a potential star. Joining 547 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: me now, someone who probably know Matt Walking. He was 548 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: a spokesman for younkins successful twenty twenty twenty one twenty 549 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: twenty one gubernatorial campaign. Matt, I hear good things about 550 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: your boy. He's doing a great job as governor. And 551 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: thank you for having me, Jesse, I appreciate. It's a 552 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: pleasure to be with you. Okay, how did he do it? 553 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: Because I love Virginia. I think it's the most beautiful state, 554 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: best four seasons in the country. By the way, I've 555 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: lived in Virginia before, but there's no ushed and the 556 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: upper part of Virginia that it got that DC commie sprawl, 557 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: and it's been Democrat. It's been pretty consistently Democrat. And 558 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: now along comes Glenn Yunkin. He's not exactly some middle 559 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: of the road Republican yet he's governor. How do you 560 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: do that? Well? He did do two key things in 561 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: December twenty twenty, so almost a year before the election, 562 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: he tested which policy issues were best suited to win 563 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: the primary election and the general election. You know, sometimes 564 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: we see candidates get knocked off message in the primary 565 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: and it really comes back to hinder them in the 566 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: general election. So it's all about message discipline and knowing 567 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: where key boundaries are is very important and Governor Yuncan 568 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: did that very well. Second, Junkin set out to ask 569 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: everyone for their vote. He didn't want to take anything 570 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: for granted or leave anyone out. So you know, from 571 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: counties in southwest Virginia that hadn't seen a Republican candidate 572 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: in a decade or or to Asian Americans and other 573 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: ethnicities and religious groups in northern Virginia that don't typically 574 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: hear from a Republican candidate, he went there and he 575 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: did it early, not just when the general election started. 576 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: And so he had a robust coalition and messaging targeting 577 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: operation to make sure that he was talking to all 578 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: of those key voters and making sure we were winning 579 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: people over. That's what he had to do to win 580 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: in Virginia, and he did it. Every state's different. Every 581 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: state has different values, different things that people can campaign on. 582 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: If your campaigning in Alabama, you can campaign on abortion, 583 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: there's no question about that. That's not the case in 584 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: Washington State. Right, every state tells its own story. What 585 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: about Virginia? Can we translate nationally too? Because that can 586 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: be difficult. People think, well, he won't here, he can 587 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: win everywhere. That's not always the case. What translates nationally? Sure? Well, 588 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: what yuncan? Did? I think Virginia is a little bit 589 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: of a microcosm of the country at large, because you're right, 590 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: you do have more liberal areas near Washington, DC, and 591 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: then you have very conservative areas in other parts of 592 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: the state that more closely resemble Alabama or Georgia. And so. 593 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: But Glenn told his story and defined his own brand 594 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: very early, and so courting independence and Democrats, it started 595 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: with giving them a permission slip to support a Republican 596 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: and so that allowed him later to then take his 597 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: message about economic issues and pocketbook issues, kitchen table issues, 598 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: safety and crime quality and education to all of those people, 599 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: and it allowed them to be receptive to his policy 600 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: messages when they knew that, Okay, this was a guy 601 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: that grew up here in Virginia Beach and worked hard 602 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: and became a successful businessman. And he's just a regular 603 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: dead just like a lot of my neighbors and maybe myself, Matt. 604 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: Virginia itself is the state going read because of the 605 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: radicalism of Democrats. I know, we want to give especially you, 606 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: I mean all of us. We want to give Glenn 607 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: Young and all the credit you can. But Terry mccauliff, 608 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he basically wrapped up a Christmas gift for him. 609 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: But he got stood up on stage and told parents 610 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: to butt out of education. What kind of an idiot 611 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: would say that. Yeah, that's the position of the National 612 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Now are they pushing people into our lap? 613 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 1: I've said, I think older Democrats are a huge portion 614 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: of what the right can be because they look at 615 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: the horror of what the modern party is. They don't 616 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: recognize that. Yeah, absolutely, I would. I mean the short 617 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: answer is yes, they are pushing them more towards Republicans 618 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: for sure. And I and that became extremely evident in 619 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: Virginia last year. But it's going on right now in 620 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: these mentor races all over the country where you see 621 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: people that Democrats running for federal office who are far 622 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: outside the mainstream. You know, you think of John Fetterman 623 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania and as one great example of that. And 624 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: so it's definitely a big factor school boards. That was 625 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: hot when Glenn was running. Every every other day you'd 626 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: turn on the news and you'd see a new parents 627 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: screaming out some school board, chewing out some school board. 628 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: It seems that has faded. Is it really faded as 629 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: an issue or is that still something that's a winner. Well, 630 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: it's something that Governor yncan Is is still working with 631 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: parents in Virginia even today, within the issue of you know, 632 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 1: Democrats pushing radical gender theory into classrooms and so that's 633 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: going on in Virginia today. I would say back in 634 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, there was an added element. It was 635 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: the it was the pandemic closures that had occurred and UM, 636 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: Democrats and teachers unions not being willing to open the schools. 637 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: That was a huge issue that drove parents to school 638 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: board meetings UM and UH. And then we also of 639 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: course had the issue of critical race theory UM and 640 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: Governor Northam's policy the previous governor, Democrat governor of Virginia. 641 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: He had told school boards statewide that they had to 642 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: adopt a transgender policy for schools that allowed kids to 643 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: you know, choose their genders without their parents' knowledge and 644 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: then go into an opposite sex locker room or bathroom 645 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: and without their parents even knowing about. And so Governor 646 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: Yncan recently rolled back that policy. He said, no, we're 647 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna make sure parents are informed. And there's 648 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: currently a backlash from some Democrats in Virginia. The vast 649 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: majority of school districts in Virginia MD appreciate that that 650 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: Democrat policy and so a lot of a lot of 651 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: school board meetings were focused on that as well. And so, um, 652 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: Governor Yncan is currently working on that issue and returning 653 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: sanity to the classroom. Matt, who do you see out there? 654 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: You know, the candidates running for Senate, maybe House, maybe governor. 655 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: Who do you see out there that you think to yourself, Now, 656 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: that's a guy who's on message and nailing it. And 657 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: who do you see that's like that? They're all over 658 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: the place. Well, I think, um, you know, I mentioned 659 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: John Federman earlier. I think the doctor Ross campaign had 660 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: a few stumbles over the summer, but he's recovered very 661 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: well and is uh pressing a pressing head really really 662 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: hard right now. And I think he's doing a much 663 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: better job than than they were. And I think that 664 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: I do think that Federman um uh, you know, with 665 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: his own is having his own struggles, and so I 666 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: think it's looking pretty good for for doctor Os and 667 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: penn Vania, and that's that's encouraging. But in terms of 668 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: other Republicans across the country that are that are doing this, 669 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, Governor Yncan has been able to get on 670 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: the campaign trail a little bit and support other Republican 671 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,959 Speaker 1: governors running for office, supporting Brian Kemp in Georgia and 672 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: Carry Lake in Arizona and all of them. I would say, 673 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: you're kind of seeing a lot of what Junkin talked 674 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: about in his race last year seeping into those races, 675 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: these kitchen table issues, and I think the Party of 676 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: the whole is really shifting that direction, as they should, 677 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: because right now, voters, you know, the top thing on 678 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 1: their mind is inflation and our precarious economy that we're 679 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: in because of Joe Biden's policies, and so I think 680 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,479 Speaker 1: that the more Republicans focus on those issues, the better 681 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: they will turn out in November. Matt, appreciate it. Ben, 682 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: thanks so much for having me. All Right, we've got 683 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: final thoughts.

Are 690 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: we gonna use taking over the House of Representatives as 691 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: some kind of a fundraising effort where you get a 692 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: new email every week.
