1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: information overload. All right, News round Up, Information Overload, our 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one Sean. If you want 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, I know many 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: of you have been anxious, concerned, worried about what's what 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: the ultimate number is going to be in the House. 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: It's something I've been sharing concern with. But I spent 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: a lot of time all weekend going over numbers with 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: more people than I care to even shake a stick at. 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: We do have some new news on this, by the way, 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: in the state of New York, they have been able 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: to project that Mark Molinaro has won his election in 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: the New York House District nineteen. We're looking at a 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: lot of races out in Arizona, for example, we have 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: David Schweikert that was on the hope list, not on 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: the absolutely needed list for the Republicans. Over the weekend 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: he has won re election to the US House Arizona's 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: first congressional district and between Arizona one six in California 19 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 1: forty one Oregon five. Over at the Cook Report, Dave 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: Wasserman has been saying that it looks like there's no 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: way that the Democratic dreams of holding a House majority 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: are probably dead. Anyway, here to go over the races 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: and where we are, where it stands, what numbers we're at, 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: who's likely to win, what number we're going to get to, 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: and it gets it does definitely get complicated. From the 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: nr CC, we have political director Mike Thomas with us. Mike, 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: how are you, sir? I'm doing well. How are you doing, sir? 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm good? What's going on? So Republicans are poised to 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: win the majority. Even Joe Biden, as you probably saw 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: earlier today, admitted that Democrats are going to lose the House. 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: So they're really just delaying the inevitable because I think 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: the mainstream media wants to diminish the fact that we're 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: going to flip the House for the third time since 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four. We're going to pick up seats in 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: back to back cycles, and it looks like now we 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: will be the only check on Joe Biden's reckless policies. 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: So where we stand on the numbers wise, So going 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: just off the Associated Press, we've got two hundred and 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: twelve seats that have been called for Republicans. Right now, 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: we've got another eight seats that we've identified that we 41 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: are going to win. You mentioned many of those. It's 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: just a matter of time before they are called, and 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: you know some of those seats, let's go over the 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: seats that haven't been called by d AP. But you 45 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: see that there's no chance you're gonna lose. Yeah, So 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: starting with Arizona, as you just mentioned, David Schweiker in 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: Arizona one, the decision desk has called that. Every ballot 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: return that we have seen the last few days has 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: only gained his lead. Another seat in Arizona. This is 50 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: southeast Arizona in the Tucson area. We're up twenty one 51 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: hundred votes and we literally just got some more ballots 52 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: that grew his lead even more. Is that the Siskomane 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: rates Which point you're talking about, Yeah, that's Arizona six 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: ye and base there. But the decision desk has called 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: both of those Arizona seats for us. So there's a 56 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: reason why the APE should not be calling those um 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: in our for us. Right. So that's two fourteen. Just 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to keep people that have not been 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: following it like we have all weekend, and I know 60 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: you've been driven crazy by everybody. Uh. Then you've got 61 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: a number of California seats that are leading really heavily 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: towards Republicans that are gonna make a big difference. Let's 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: go to those. Yeah, I think that's all we have 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: in Arizona, right, Arizona one. Is there any chance Arizona 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: one goes Republican or no? Oh that was Schwiker. He 66 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: did win that. Yes, yep, he's going to win. Yeah, 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: David Schwiker, We're gonna We're gonna flip two seats in Arizona. UM. 68 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: And then moving to California. We've got four races in 69 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: California that we feel really confident on that we're going 70 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: to win. It's just a matter of time. UM started 71 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: in California. Third, UM, this is a seat uh basically 72 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: east of Sacramento. It's an open seat. UM, we're up. Yeah, 73 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: this is where the Republican Kevin Kylie is running. We're 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: up six percent right now. This is a good Republican district. 75 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: We have a six percent voter registration advantage, and most 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: of the outstanding ballots to be counted are in good 77 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: Republican territory. So this is a very healthy lead. There Okay, 78 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: so all right, now that brings us to two fifteen, 79 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: and then we got California twenty seven. That's the Garcia race, 80 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: right yep, Mike Garcia in the northern Los Angeles. He's 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: up eleven percent right now, and his opponent UM conceded already, 82 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: UM and basically put out a statement that said the 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: mass is not there for her, so we will win 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: California twenty seven, which is Mike Garcia. Now forty one 85 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: I know is on the Republican list, and I know 86 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: there's a lead by Ken Calvert, although it's a much 87 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: smaller lead. Yeah, so he's up two and a half 88 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: percent right now. But to give you some perspective of 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: where this race has come, so after election night, we 90 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: were down fourteen percent and now we're up two and 91 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: a half percent. So everything that has come in after 92 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: election has been more and more favorable towards Republicans. And 93 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: that's the trend that we're seeing across the board in 94 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: California is the stuff that is coming in later is 95 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: trending our way. Because these are people who'd dropped off 96 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: their ballots in person or at their site or at 97 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: their dropbox, and so these are going to be skewing Republicans. 98 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: So his lead continues to grow. The last four batches 99 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: of votes that we have gotten, he has won every 100 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: single one and he's incrementally getting better, like Ken Calvert's 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: going to win. Let's go to California forty five, and 102 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: that is the Michelle Steel race and she had a 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: very healthy lead. Yeah, so she's up twelve thousand votes. 104 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: There really isn't a path here. So the Democrats would 105 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: have to win sixty one percent of the remaining votes 106 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: left to be counted, and the Democrat has yet with 107 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: all these batches that are reported, Demo has yet to 108 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: break fifty two percent, and so the numbers don't look 109 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: good for the Democrats there. Michelle Steele is going to 110 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: win in californy forty five. Let's go back to California 111 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: in a minute. In the meantime, let's look at New 112 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: York twenty two. Brandon Williams from my understanding, is he's 113 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: winning that race. Yes, he's up. We just got a 114 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: new batch. Well. As a matter of fact, let me 115 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: just point out that Dave Wasserman over at the Cook 116 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: Report said he says, I've seen enough. Brandon Williams has defeated. 117 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: Francis could only in New York's twenty two. So it 118 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: hasn't called by the AP. But Dave Wasserman is a 119 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: pretty smart guy. Yeah, and the decision desk has called 120 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: this race as well. It's just right now. M Francis Knoll, 121 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: the Democrat would have to win probably close to seventy 122 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: five percent of the remaining vote, which is mathematically impossible. 123 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: So if you are so, assuming that's all correct, and 124 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: you include the call for Oregon five which brought you 125 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: to two twelve, my count is we're now a two 126 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: eight team and we still have a lot of races 127 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: to go over, meaning that means Republicans will win control 128 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: of the US House of Representatives. Is that a fair statement? Correct? Yes? 129 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: All right? Now you have Schweigert on top of it. 130 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: Then you have Lauren Bobert. You know, it seemed for 131 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: a while she was in a tight race. She seems 132 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: to be pulled, have pulled away. Last count I saw 133 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: what was she up by eleven twelve hundred votes? Yep, 134 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: about eleven hundred votes right now? Okay, and what's left 135 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: to be counted? There's there's only about thirty eight hundred 136 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: ballots left to be counted right now, and a lot 137 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: of those are election day votes which are gonna skew 138 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: in our favor, and a lot of overseason military ballot 139 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: which we know will be favorable towards us. So the 140 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Democrat would have to get close to seventy percent over 141 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: the remaining ballots to pull out a win here. And 142 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: everything that we've seen post come in post election day, 143 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Lauren has been winning everything that has come in. So 144 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: it's two nineteen with Schweiker two twenty. Now we have 145 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: let's go back to California. There are four toss up 146 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: races out there. If you look at California thirteen, it's 147 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: a very very tight race. That's the John Duarte race 148 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: versus Adam Gray. Where do you see that race falling out? Well, 149 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: we've had a lead so right now, but we were 150 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: down over the last few days. So every every batch 151 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: of returns that has come in has been rival towards US. 152 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: So because it's a dead heat, we're only up sixty 153 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: four votes right now, we just need to get fifty 154 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: one percent of the remaining and the last election up 155 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: to date we got here we got fifty four percent. 156 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: So um as far as I'm concerned. I would rather 157 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: be us than them right now. But this is going 158 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: to be Razors then, and it's going to take a while. 159 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: This is in the Central Valley, which uh, they historically 160 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: are one of the slowest county areas in the country. 161 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: What about California twenty two that's the h I think 162 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: it's Volatio. I'm not sure how to say the namelay properly. 163 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: He was up by five the last time I look, 164 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: but there still was a lot of outstanding votes. Yep, 165 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: he's David Valadeo. He's up five five percent right now. 166 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: There is a lot of good Republican territory that left, 167 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: and there's one dem county that the report so far, 168 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: the Solace who is the Democrat is not pulling the 169 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: margins he needs to to get there. So Solace needsy 170 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: at fifty and he is not. He is not getting 171 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: those margins. So David's David Valadeo is an extremely strong 172 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: position to win reelection.

Well we've got you covered. 205 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: Anny watches here, thats the news you need. John Hannity, right, 206 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: as we examine all these house races that have yet 207 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: to be called, Michael Thomas with US political director of 208 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: the NRCC, we're two twenty two, two twenty three in 209 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: that area. UM, what do you what do you see? 210 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: Do you see any other races where this potential Republican 211 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: pickups that maybe nobody's paying attention to? You know, Oregon 212 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: six has not been UM called yet. This is a 213 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: in is the brand new open seat in the Portland suburbs. Um, 214 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: this is a open seat. UM, Mike Erickson is our 215 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: candidate there that has not been called yet. But UM 216 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: there's still some outstanding vote there that UM, I would 217 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: say you know, it leans them right now, but there's 218 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: still a little bit to be counted, and we're watching that. 219 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: And then there are handful of races across the country 220 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: that um, you know, potentially could be in the recount zone. Um, 221 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: and just were monitoring a lot of stuff right now. 222 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: But I think the long story short is we are 223 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: going to have a House from a House Republican majority. 224 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt about that. Well, I mean, that's 225 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: that that's a big deal just for subpoena, power chairmanships, 226 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: power of the purse. I mean, it makes it just 227 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. Um, all right, So the question is 228 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: why is it taken so long? California has all these 229 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: races out um, and some of these races clearly this 230 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: ground that Democrats can possibly mathematically makeup. Why aren't they 231 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: making these calls? Well, you might be surprised to know 232 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: that the uh, the national media is really hesitant to 233 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: make calls in favor of Republicans. But anytime a Democrat 234 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: opens up to leave, they call it right away. So 235 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: it's it's they just hold us to a different standard. 236 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: And then California has always historically been one of the 237 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: lowest county states in the country, and it's no shocker 238 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: that it's a Democrat run state and they're very inefficient 239 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: with their election process and pretty amazing. Let me ask 240 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: you this last question. How is the Republicans seemed to 241 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: now will win the popular vote, which they never win 242 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: and all of these congressional races, all four thirty five districts. 243 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: How is that possible? And it not? How come we 244 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: didn't see a bigger margin of victory considering they won 245 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: by that much, which doesn't usually happen. Did Republicans get 246 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: defeated and jerrymandering redistricting? Did something happen that we didn't 247 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: pick up. I think it's two things. There's last cycle, 248 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: when everybody was expecting House Republicans to lose fifteen or 249 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: twenty seats, we gained fifteen seats and so we only 250 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: had five seats to go and then throw on top 251 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: of which means we want all the low hanging fruit. 252 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: And then come this cycle, we had rediscertein and one 253 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: of the takeaways from redisserentein is basically all the swing 254 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: seats got wiped out and so it really shrunk the middle. 255 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: So all the territory that we were playing in, we 256 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: were playing in almost twenty some Biden double digit seats, 257 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: and so we always knew that we were going to 258 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: be playing in kind of enemy territory sort of speak, 259 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and all these heavy Dems seats. So I think it's 260 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: a combination of you know, we picked up a lot 261 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: of the seats last cycle, and then Rediscertein is wiped 262 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: out the middle. Last last question, how big do eggs 263 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: of poles? You're reading of the eggs of pole show 264 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: that abortion played in this race and to the extent 265 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: that this megamega Republican You know, our democracy is on 266 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: the ballot it you know, rant and Republicans are going 267 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: to take away Social Security and Medicare? Was that effective? 268 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: I think? I think the abortion issue. The top issue 269 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: for Democrats was abortion. So there's no doubt that that 270 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: was a motivating factor for Democrats, but not so much 271 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: for the middle. With the middle, all that we saw 272 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: is it was still crime and costs of living that 273 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: people in the middle really cared about. But no doubt 274 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: the abortion helped the Democrats get there, get some of 275 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: their people out. Well, we really appreciate you going over 276 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: all of this with us. I hope that puts people's 277 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: minds at ease. Mike tom NRCC political director, Thanks for 278 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: taking the time.

If there's any disappointment of 288 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: any one race, and there were a number of disappointed 289 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: I really wished, hoped. I knew it was a thirty 290 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: percent chance at best that Lee Zeldon would win in 291 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: New York. Okay, he gave it his best shot. Every 292 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: ad that Kathy Holkel ran in New York had to 293 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: do with January sixth and abortion. That's what that was it. 294 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: You know, look at Tutor Dixon, I wish you would 295 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: have done better. I had not known until late, late 296 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: late that she didn't have any exceptions for rape incest 297 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: to the mother's life in an estate as blue as Michigan, 298 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: you can't win with that position. In my view, the 299 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: same thing played out in Pennsylvania. You know, Doug Mostry, 300 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: I don't by what was it fourteen points now fourteen? 301 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: And you know os only lost by two, but he 302 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: got tickets splitting in double digits, meaning people voted for 303 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: the Democrat for governor and switched over to Oz in Pennsylvania. 304 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: But when the top of the ticket is voting without 305 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: any exceptions for abortion in a purple state, if you 306 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: want to call Pennsylvania purple, you can't win that election. 307 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: And you can't overcome or ask people to split their 308 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: ticket in that with that level of percentage, it's Can 309 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: we have a real conversation about this for a minute, 310 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: like a real conversation? No, No, I'll go ahead. I'm real. 311 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is where I'm really at with this. 312 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: And I've been given this a lot of thought because 313 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: I live now in the state of Pennsylvania, which is 314 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: a humongous state. It's a beautiful state. It's got all 315 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: types of people and all ways of life, and it 316 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: really is it is. It's just an amazing place, you know, 317 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: where could be And I really feel strongly that a 318 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: big part of the election problem across the nation is 319 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: twofold one is what you've been talking about at nausea, 320 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: in which there should be one day mail in voting 321 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: only for you know, the military, the infirmed, the disabled, right, 322 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: people who really can't get out there on election days. 323 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: That's an exception. But also we have a huge problem 324 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: with financing. And I just feel like when we look 325 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: at somebody like Shapiro, who is a terrible, terrible human 326 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: being in the words I would attribute to him, I 327 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: can't say on radio, so I'm not going to, but 328 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: just putting that aside for one second. You know, this 329 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: guy is a top cop. This is the guy who's 330 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: supposed to protect our kids, our police, our fireman. He 331 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: does none of that. He's got a terrible track record. 332 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: He's blue, blue, blue, and he's all about Shapiro, you know. 333 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: And so but he had fifty two million dollars sixty 334 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: over sixty percent of what he raised was from out 335 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: of state donors. So for me, it's like, so some 336 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: guy in California is deciding what's going to happen to 337 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: my little guy in school? How is that a fair thing? 338 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: How is that a thing at all, and that's happening 339 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: all over the country. So my opinion, and it is 340 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: just my opinion, I feel that there are two huge 341 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: things that need to happen. Number One, I think we 342 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: should do away with all out of state financing. I 343 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: think you should have to raise money from the commonwealth 344 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: or from your state only. Wherever you live, you're raising 345 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: from your people, and that's it. You're not raising from 346 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: people from New Jersey when you live in Pennsylvania or 347 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: anywhere else, that's it. I also think there needs to 348 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: be one day and one day only, minus the exceptions 349 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: that we've already stated. And to be perfectly frank with you, 350 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: and this is something that you and I have never 351 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: agreed on and we're never going to is. I don't 352 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: even think there should be a two party system because 353 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: there are so many rhinos and so many terrible people 354 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: within the Republican Party that we have our own problems, 355 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: and the biggest issue is our party does not unite. 356 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: We're ready to divide at all times. The Dems will 357 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: stick together, always a circular fire, always, always, always, always. 358 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: They don't disagree. Look, it's I'm just giving an objective analysis. 359 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: There's no doubt that when the top of a ticket 360 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: loses by fourteen and down ballot by two, it was 361 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: able to procure, you know, double digit tickets splitting. I 362 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: mean that that does Listen. People like us. We liked Oz, 363 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, we liked what we liked Oz. We liked 364 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: and I really feel like with Mastriano, you know, for 365 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: me it was like I wasn't anybody but Shapiro. I mean, 366 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: you could have run a dog catcher, you could have 367 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: run the dog itself, and I would have voted for 368 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: the dog over Shapiro. But you just heard earlier in 369 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: the program today the head of the NRCC, and what 370 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: did he say? The number one issue on the ballot 371 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: for Democrats had to do with abortion. OZ does make exceptions. 372 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: That was the difference. I don't just I don't disagree 373 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: with you on that. I think that people are, you know, 374 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, in this nation, we've lost our morality, 375 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: we've lost our soul, We've forgotten. We're not talking about 376 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: the morality or the years. Oh I understand that talking 377 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: about the polity incest and you know, the you know 378 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: the life of the mother versus the life of the child. 379 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: Those are exceptions, and I agree with. It's not tenable. 380 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: It's not a politically tenable position, agreed. And I don't 381 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: think that it's the hill you want to die on 382 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: any given day, you know, And I do believe and 383 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: I set it from the beginning of the year that 384 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: these are bell weather states and this is not a 385 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: slam dunk. And you better understand they're all swing states. 386 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we're looking at all right. Florida is no 387 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: longer a swing state, but Georgia, North Carolina, I think 388 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: is probably because of this accelerated migration, it's going to 389 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: move more solidly red, which is okay, one big pick 390 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: up for us, but all of the people that are moving, 391 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: it's getting harder for Republicans to win states like Wisconsin. 392 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: Look at how hard Ron Johnson had to work. They 393 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: dumped one hundred million dollars on his head, one hundred 394 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: million dollars on Oz's head, one hundred million dollars on 395 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: herschel Walker's head. You know. JD. Vance was the target 396 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: in Ohio, and you know, had he not had such 397 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: a strong gubernatorial candidate and the wine that one by 398 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: twenty five points, you know, he could have maybe been 399 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: in trouble. I don't know. How do we change it? 400 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: How do we, like, that's a serious question, how do 401 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: we get all of these groups to focus on you 402 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: run in one state, you get funding from one state. 403 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: We get rid of the superpack, we get rid of 404 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: all of this, and you can get money from the NRCC. 405 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: You can get money from an answer I used to 406 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: give Neil Boards. Snil Boards wrote a book about the 407 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: consumption tax in America that literally was brilliant, became a 408 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: number one New York Times bestseller. And I used to 409 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: talk to him all the time. I said, it's a 410 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: great idea, the numbers work, It's never gonna happen. And 411 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: he would look at me and he said, we'll make 412 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: it happen. I'm like, if I can make it happen, 413 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: I'd make it happen. Have you noticed people trying to 414 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: say yeah, people like Kennedy and out there telling people 415 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a way of election. I didn't. Let's 416 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: go back to August of this year. I said it. 417 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: In said it in January of this year. Listen, and 418 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: then we have the Senate and play and if you 419 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about bell Weather Senate races, I mean, 420 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: you can't have a bigger Bellweather Senate year than this 421 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: coming year. I think your admonition is point on. I 422 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: don't want anybody getting too cocky. And I've been saying 423 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: that the Senate is going to be particularly hard because 424 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: you have all these bell Weather state I never want 425 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: people being overconfident. I mean, right now, if you would 426 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: ask me if Republicans win the House and Senate, I 427 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: say they probably win the House easily. The Senate is 428 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: harder because of the states that are in play. I mean, 429 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: we're looking at every bell Weather state. You got Florida, 430 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 1: you've got Georgia. You've got North and South Carolina. You've 431 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: got New Hampshire, you've got Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, you've got Ohio, 432 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: you've got Nevada, you've got Arizona. You've got Missouri, you've 433 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: got Colorado, you've got the state of Washington. None of 434 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: these states are easy for Republicans to win, and they 435 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: have to hold in very key states and then they 436 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: have to win another key state, so it's not easy. 437 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: Then I look at the Senate and I get concerned 438 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: because every state that we're looking at is a Bellweather state. 439 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: It's it's all on the line, and I don't. I 440 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: don't like to make predictions on elections. I like to 441 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: give you a realistic snapshot. And right now I cannot 442 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: say with confidence that the Republicans are going to take 443 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: the House and Senate. I think the odds are much 444 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: higher for the House. We've got some tough races in 445 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: the Senate. We've got some tough gubernatorial races around the country. 446 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: There's still battles going on for these Senate races. I mean, 447 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: every state that I'm mentioning is at Bellwether state. Maybe away. 448 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: It can go either way. I think the Republicans are 449 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: very well positioned to take the House. Then you've got 450 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: if you want Belleweather Senate races, this is the year 451 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: to look at Bellwather races. Okay, how many more of 452 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: these idiot liberal calumnists are going to write that I 453 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: was saying it's going to be a way of election. 454 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: I was telling everybody just the opposite. And maybe that's 455 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: why I manage my expectations. I think appropriately. That does 456 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: not mean that we should tolerate as a country what 457 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: has been going on in Arizona, Nevada, California, and Alaska anymore. 458 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: We're better than this, and the system has to be fixed. 459 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: That's all there is. Too At Florida had a mess 460 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand, they fixed it. They had a problem 461 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: in either twenty sixteen, I think it was twenty sixteen 462 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: they had a problem. They fixed that, and now they've 463 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: got a system where they encount seven and a half 464 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: million votes in less than five hours. Nobody questions the integrity. 465 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: Everyone is confident in the results. It's just so unfair anyway, 466 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety four one sewn. If you want to 467 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: be a part of the program, let's say how that 468 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: Jason is in Long Island in New York. Jason, how 469 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: are you glad you called service? Hey, Sean, it's a pleasure. 470 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: I've been a Long Island resident for five years now, 471 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: and NASA on Suffolk have turned read over and I'm 472 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: very proud of that. To the largest I even have 473 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: a Republican congressman, if you can believe it, I haven't 474 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: had one since Peter King. It could turn out that 475 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: lee Zel did actually want us the House those four seats. 476 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: That that's the difference right there. And to a larger point, 477 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is just a less attempt 478 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: to deny Republicans the spotlight. We're seeing this drag out 479 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: and drag on. Okay, I was listening to the Gentleman before. 480 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: There there's no reason why these races should not be called, 481 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: at least by this point. And I want to see 482 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: if you think that this is just another attempt by 483 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: the left to deny Republicans any spotlight whatsoever. I think Republicans, 484 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: every every single Republican needs to breathe the sire relief 485 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: if you know, going over these numbers with the head 486 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: of the NRCC and that that Republicans are getting the House. 487 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Even Joe Biden is claiming it, that we should be 488 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: very relieved that that one victory we should take it. 489 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: We should, we should plan onto it. And then look, 490 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: there's going to be their own autopsy, their own development. 491 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find that what I'm saying as 492 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: it relates to accelerated migration is real. It's going to 493 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: be something that they have to deal with. And look, 494 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: there's a whole variety of other issues over time that 495 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: we're going to have to figure out as conservatives. There's 496 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: some things I can't explain. If we don't fix the 497 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: voting system, why would we explain how do we have 498 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: voting in ninety days out and voting in perpetuity. I 499 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: think we need to get the rules there. I would 500 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: if I had my way, paper ballots, same day voting 501 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: election day on holiday, you have partisans watch the vote counting, 502 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: and you watch the vote votes taken place. It would 503 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: be that simple. And I think also we got to 504 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: be a little smarter. We who we think, you know, 505 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: can win. Sometimes that may not be the person you 506 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: fully agree with. You can stand on principle to a point, 507 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: but it's at some point it's got to be practical. 508 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: Does that makes sense? Absolutely? Do you think we've seen 509 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: the least election that will ever be decided? On Election Day? 510 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen will probably the last election that maybe even 511 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: know who want that night? Maybe? And I'm talking to 512 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: and this is off your elections. I think this is 513 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: the way it's going to be going forward. And that's scary, Sean. 514 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: It's a pleasure. Thank you very much. Good luck to you, sir. 515 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: All right, my friend glad you called. Thank you eight 516 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: nine one Sean. If you want to be a part 517 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: of the program here, let's say hi to Mike in California. Mike, 518 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: how are you what's going on? Oh, great Sean, great Shana. 519 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Just two quick points. One is I agree with you 520 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: that people should calm down and take a deep breath. 521 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: We are going to win the House, and even though 522 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: it's by a small margin. The Democrat the last two 523 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: years only had a small margin and they had tremendous power, 524 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: and we will too. It's a much bigger deal even 525 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: with a small margin. Then the second point is have 526 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: a very easy solution to the energy crisis. The oil 527 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: companies simply need to hire Hunter Biden on their board 528 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: of directors and they'll be able to drill and pump 529 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: as much as they want. Listen, I think if we 530 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: were smart, we'd start becoming energy independent tomorrow. Joe Biden's 531 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: answer last week is what are you going to change? 532 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: Joe Nothing, So they're going to double down on stupid. 533 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Look, he doesn't have the strategic petroleum 534 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: reserves to play with this time. And by the way, 535 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that wasn't a factor. It definitely works 536 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: when you increased the supply of energy on the world 537 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: market to the extent he did by putting our national 538 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: security at risk and raiding the strategic petroleum reserves, lowering 539 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: the cost. You know, because your great emergency is that 540 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to win the election. It paid off 541 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: of them. And you know, going out there MEGAMEGA and 542 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,239 Speaker 1: democracies on the ballad and scaring old people you're not 543 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: gonna lose your Social Security and medicare. You know, there's 544 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: a reason they use these tactics every election because they're effective. Unfortunately, 545 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: even though it's a big lie, very very true, very 546 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: very true, just bought votes. Basically, listen, led Night, you're 547 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: heartbeat trouble. Things are a lot different today than they 548 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: were before this election. And that's great. All right. That's 549 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: gonna wrap things up for tonight nine Eastern Hannity on 550 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel.
