WEBVTT - TV: HUGE Decisions 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.920 Oh boy, we got fed news today. We'll talk about that. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.240 We have Jim Jordan here, he's going to talk about 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.200 this indictment and other things going on in Congress, culture 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.319 war stuff. Kiera Davis is here. Ned Ryan is going 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:16.040 to talk to us about local elections, all that and more. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:27.520 It's coming on and I'm right okay. First, before we 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.280 do anything else, I have some news. I know you 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.960 watch us, maybe you watch us on direct TV. Well 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.440 we're on channel three forty seven now on direct TV. 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.600 So if you go tuning in on your direct TV 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.960 dial and you don't see the first TV, don't worry. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.640 I promise we didn't vanish, We didn't disappear into the 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.639 ethers somewhere. You're just on the wrong channel, Channel three 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.920 forty seven direct TV. That is where you'll find us. Now, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.200 let's get onto all the news of the day, the 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.600 Federal Reserve. This is look with everything else, we're gonna 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.000 go into all of culture war stuff and really important 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.000 things on the show. We got Congressman Jim Jordan coming 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.120 up here in just a second. But this is probably 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.640 the thing that matters the most right now, because if 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.560 a nation goes through some sort of horrible I don't 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.039 want to call it a collapse, but maybe that's appropriate. Recession, depression, 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.080 whatever it is, everything else will flow downhill from there. 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.680 We've spent way too much money. We've printed way too 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.520 much money. That toothpaste doesn't go back in the tube. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.920 The only way to stop that inflation is to raise 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.920 interest rates. Raising interustrates itself, we'll cause a recession. High 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.039 interest rates are horrible. I'm not hoping for that. But 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:46.399 we needed the FED to raise rates, probably significantly. The 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.200 FED was planning on raising rates significantly, according to what 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.200 we know. Then a couple of banks went belly up. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.960 They all locked shields and said, don't raise rates. Were 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.360 in trouble. Today the Fed announced tiny little rate bump, 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.440 smallest bump you can get, point two five. Now, I'm 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.720 not sitting here wanting your interest rates to go up 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.359 or my interest rates to go up. I got a 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:13.160 mortgage too. I don't want rates to go up. But 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.760 I also understand that the value of the dollar free 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:23.119 falling has implications way beyond some interest rate heights. It's 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.960 a really, really, really big deal. And if the banks 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.920 are going to bully the FED into not raising interest 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.600 rates the appropriate amount, we might have some rocky times ahead, 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.200 but anyway, let's focus on what's important. According to MSNBC, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.240 the walls are closing in. And I think it's different 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.760 when you get in there and you're having I could 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.280 be wrong, but you know, I don't know, but having 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:50.880 your fingerprint taken and picture take. That's called whistling pass 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.720 the graveyard. He's not looking forward to any of it. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.720 He's horrified. He's just talking big. The walls are closing in, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:05.520 as as has been set before. Oh gosh, more walls 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.400 are closing in. Crab joining me now, by the grace 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.120 of God, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. We actually 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.320 have a good ran Congressman Jim Jordan of the Great 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.800 State of Ohio. All right, Congressman, I don't know what 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.200 I find to be more laughable the more walls are 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.360 closing in. Talk on what's clearly a bogus charge, or 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.760 the fact that MSNBC apparently has ninety five people on 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.400 panels who can do TV like that. Well, yeah, and 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.120 they've only been saying the quote walls were closing in 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.040 on I don't know how many different issues. You know, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.320 First it was Russia, Russia, Russia. Then it was his 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.160 phone call was a Lensky. Then it was his tax returns, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.400 and it was his business records, and it was his children. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.880 Then it was who knows what else, and now it's 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.200 this crazy issue. So yeah, the left has been saying 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.040 this for or trying this and saying this for seven years. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.400 I guess, but I think you know your viewers and 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.040 the American people, I think they get the facts here 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.360 that first of all, the Justice Department wouldn't bring this case. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.760 The federal district in New York wouldn't bring this case. 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.240 The previous district attorney, mister Vance, wouldn't bring this case, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.680 and the current district attorney wouldn't bring this case a 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.320 year ago. And it wasn't until two of his folks 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.359 left left the DA's office, wrote a book, started getting 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.000 the left off fired up, and maybe most importantly, President 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.359 Trump announced he was running for president that suddenly, oh shazam, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.240 I've reconsidered. I'm going to bring the case. It looks 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.200 like now so and oh, by the way, our star 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.680 witness is going to be the guy who went to 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.760 prison for lying, who came in front of the House 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.919 Oversight Committee four years ago and light six times Michael Cohen, 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.880 you know, such a deal. Yeah, what a great guy. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.920 Michael Cohen is okay, so everyone knows. Look, it's obvious, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.280 everyone knows it's a political prosecution by one of these 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.840 Soros backed nutball prosecutors. The question is, Congressman, how do 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.720 we stop this? Because there are people were mad about 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.640 Alvin Bragg. I've made the point when you look at 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.960 the state of our law schools, there are tons of 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.360 Alvin Bragg's graduating every year now heading into the legal profession, 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.200 and they're gonna care. They don't care about the Constitution 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.120 or the law, or right or wrong. They're going there 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.279 for a purpose, and that's to attack people like you 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.000 and me. Yeah. Yeah, They're going there to attack the 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.080 First Amendment, to attack their political opposition, to advance their 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.359 political agenda. And the only way, in my judgment, the 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.040 only way to really get at this from from Congress 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.360 is to stop the money flowing to these these agencies 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.440 that do this sort of thing. So this is what 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.520 we're trying to do with a number of investigations where 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.160 we're involved in, is get the facts on the table, 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.880 because that's always step one. What all happened, Let's get 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.919 all the facts on the table. Let's propose legislation to 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.440 remedy that situation, and maybe most importantly, let's not fund 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.640 these agencies that are doing these harmful things. Or let's 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.080 limit the money that says you can't use money for X, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:52.279 Y and Z, you can't use money to stop misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.400 all these attacks on the First Amendment. Ultimately you have 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.960 to attack via the appropriations process. You have to use 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.560 the power of the purse. The weaponization of the federal 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.720 government is look, in my mind's priority one. Everyone has 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.880 their own priorities, but we don't have a country if 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.320 this continues this way with American citizens being attacked with. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.200 The most stark example of this was Merrick Garland taking 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.479 a letter from a teachers union and then sicking the 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.960 FBI on parents. Judiciary just put out a little memo 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:26.120 about the basis for that was that legit. No, it 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.960 was all manufactured. You got you got Democrat US attorneys 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.480 saying this looks manufactured. When I talked to local law enforcement, 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.679 they're all scratching their heads, like, why are you guys involved? 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.680 Why is the federal government involved? If there's some kind 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.400 of instant local law enforcement can handle it, so this 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:45.000 was a completely manufactured in The Democrats told us, oh, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.400 this is they're not going to use counter terrorism measures. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.360 Yes they did, they did so in Jordan. The Democrats said, oh, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.760 there was no real coordination between the school boards groups 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.040 and the Biden administration before the initial letter on September 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.200 twenty nine, twenty twenty one. Yes there was. And then 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.680 of course the Democrats said, all these threats are everywhere 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.760 all over the country. Well they weren't. There were twenty 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.520 five parents who ultimately got investigated, only one resulted in 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.280 a full investigation, and no one, No one has been 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.080 charged under this apparatus, this protocol, this procedure that Merritt 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.840 Garland set up, and again they were working the Biden 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.880 administration was working with the school board groups prior to 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.360 the initial They created the predicate all for political reasons. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.480 And that's what our report shows clearly what they were, 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.600 what they were up to. What can we do about that? 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.720 What should we do about that? The AG is the 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.160 top law enforcement officer in the country. That's a fairly 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.400 critical position. If this is a human being who's either 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.640 two weak or biased or just flat out stupid, I 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.320 doubt he's a stupid person. But for whatever reason, if 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.720 he's using that post to attack Republicans, how do we 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.280 stop that. You got to get a new president. I mean, look, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.520 we're gonna we're gonna do what I just described backs 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.960 on the table past legislation and do what we can 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.000 in the appropriations process. But at some point you have 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.640 to have the power of the chief executive of the country, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.920 the presidency, who will name the new attorney general so 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.000 that you can clean up this kind of thing. Because 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.840 remember what we've learned now. They not only targeted parents, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.200 they targeted pro lifers, and they targeted traditional Catholics. We 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.680 have the memorandum issue from the Richmond Field Office where 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.240 it said if you're a traditional Catholic, we're going to 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.160 treat you as a domestic extremist. I mean, this is crazy, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.120 and it goes back to this whole mantra that the 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.040 left has that was I think actually you saw it 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.640 clearly when Joe Biden stood in front of Independence Hall 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:40.000 and called half the country fascist and extremist. It's crazy. 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.520 But the attack on people of a different political persuasion 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.520 and the attack on the First Amendment is as you said, Jesse, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.960 one of the scariest things I've ever seen before. I 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.000 let you go, Okay, FED raised rates today a little, Congressman. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.840 It makes me nervous that it was only a little, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.160 doesn't Doesn't it have to be more? I don't want 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.199 interest rates going up, obviously, but hyperinflation is the kind 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.360 of thing that ends nations. Do the banks really did they? 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.240 Did they intimidate the FED into backing off things they 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.400 should be doing? Well, it kind of appears like that's 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.400 what happened. But I would even say this, the spending 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.480 has got to stop, because I understand what creative the 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.720 inflation which then caused the FED to go with the 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.160 interest rates. Hyke was the ridiculous levels of spending we've 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.720 seen in the last twenty six months months from this administration. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.440 So that, to me is the real real problem. That's 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.760 why this death ceiling debate and the appropriations process coming 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.479 up here the next few months is so darn't important. Congressman. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.360 Appreciate you go get them all right, thanks, Jesse, take 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:47.280 care of all right. Looks like everyd is apparently done 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.959 with the whole acting like he's not running for office thing. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.000 He's out there doing sit down interviews. You play a 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.680 little bit of that. Talk to Ned Ryan about it. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.000 But before we get to that, I want to get 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.839 to this. You know what the bone frog is? Why 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.640 do you you ever seen a Navy seal that had 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.320 one of those tattoos with the bonefrog on it? Ever? 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.959 Wonder what that what is that? It's weird, well for them, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.800 for us as a nation. That's a symbol of the 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:16.560 following the Navy Seals who gave it all. That's why 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.920 Navy Seals started bone Frog Coffee. It's a lot more 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.040 than just good coffee, and it is the best frigging coffee. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.840 It's a way to honor the falling. I like having 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.920 two cups of coffee every single day, and I am 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.720 pretty pleased with the knowledge that my bone Frog Coffee 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:40.160 subscription ten percent go to various Navy Seal foundations. Feels 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.600 good to get up in the morning, have a cup 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.200 of coffee and honor the fallen.

We'll be bad to beat Budden, 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.679 I think so, so you're running them. No, I didn't 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.559 say that. I just said I think I could. I mean, 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.640 I think that that's I mean, if you look at Florida, 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.440 it would be hot as to beat Biden or Donald 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.079 Trump work out. I don't know, those are two different. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.320 Which is your favorite nickname that Trump has given you 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.920 so far as it run round Sanctimonius or meat bull rong? Well, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.679 I can't even he went off meat bull rong. I can't. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.200 I don't know how to spell to sanctimonius. I don't 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.640 really know what it means, but I you know, I 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.800 kind of like it's long, it's got a lot of valve. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.240 I mean, so we go with that. That's fine. You know, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.959 you can call me, you can call me whatever you want. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.120 I mean, just as long as you, you know, also 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.120 call me a winner, because that's what we've been able 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.760 to do in Florida, has put a lot of points 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.960 on the board and really take the state to the 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:55.319 next level. Ron de Sanchez very clearly running for office 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.559 joining me now, Ned Ryan, my buddy CEO of American Majority, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.280 which is outstanding group out there. Ned all right, Well, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.960 it's very obvious at this point in time, Rhda Santis 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.920 is running. Trump wants him to officially announce for obvious reasons. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.880 De Santists doesn't want to officially announce for obvious reasons. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.440 I think they both want the same thing for the 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.840 right reasons. Trump once it means we can smear him. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.560 De Santists doesn't want to get in, so we can 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.600 stay above it all. It's really obvious what's happening right now. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.760 I just don't see that it's that big of a mystery. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.920 It's really not Jesse. At some point both will be 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.760 officially declared candidates for the twenty twenty four nomination for 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.959 the GOP. It will be between Trump and De Santists. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.920 The rest that are that are running are thinking of running, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.240 are essentially political pygmies, and it will be either Trump 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.280 or to Santists that will win the nomination for twenty 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.560 twenty four to be our nominee against whoever Democrats put up. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.240 I don't know if Biden's gonna run or they're gonna 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.560 have Kamala or a little pets. But I have to 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.280 tell you, Jesse, I just don't care who our nominee is. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.800 Quite frankly, I don't even care who the Democrat nominee is, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.040 because if we don't think, you're out how to actually 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.199 do a ballot out balloting machine. All we're doing is 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.439 having great theoretical conversations about who might be a candidate 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.040 and some issues, but we're not talking about really winning politically. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.160 And unless we actually focus on some of these fundamentals 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.040 that we have completely abandoned, it doesn't matter who our 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.079 nominee is in twenty twenty four. I think we'll lose 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.480 the White House if we don't figure out some of 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:25.480 these fundamentals. And it's I'm glad you said it, Ned, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.360 It's disheartening you just said this to me on the 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.800 same day. I just had this conversation with someone else 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.280 an hour ago. We were on the phone and we 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.360 were talking about Trump to santists, who's going to win 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.280 and all these other things, and we said, well, what 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.480 does any of this matter, because how are we going 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.520 to win Pennsylvania. I want someone to explain to me 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.640 how we're going to win Pennsylvania. And if we don't 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.280 win Pennsylvania, I would love someone to point to the 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.760 electoral map and show me how we have a prayer 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.520 on sweeping everything we need to sweep. We talk a 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.520 lot about Trump and heavy Dan, I'm just as guilty 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.800 as anyone else. If Pennsylvania can't be one, we're in deep, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.079 deep trouble. Well, we're in trouble if we don't figure 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:07.240 out how to do robust absentee ballot chase in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.720 North Carolina. It's something that was abysmal in twenty twenty two. Jesse. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.640 We can talk about twenty twenty being rigged, manipulated, all 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.240 that twenty twenty two was a failure of Republicans outside 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.120 of Florida to actually do something that was effective in 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.880 being able to win in Arizona. Just to highlight it, Jesse, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.320 how bad it was. Arizona had over a million Republican 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.920 absentee ballots requested, Only about sixty five percent of those 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.000 were returned. You know, you want to look for at 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.360 least eighty percent. There are one hundred and fifty thousand 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.960 votes that didn't show up, and we ended up losing 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.000 every statewide seat, and some of them very closely. So 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.480 the question becomes, are we actually going to focus on 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.040 putting these machines in place and these key presidential battleground 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.040 states before twenty twenty four, and if we don't, we 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.360 aren't going to win because this is what Democrats are 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.560 doing right now, and they're spending I heard upwards of 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.480 twenty or thirty million was spending Arizona alone on absentee 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:05.200 ballot chase by Democrats. Okay, Ned, I'm gonna ask a question, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.880 and I'm so scared of the answer. Are we doing 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.440 any of this right now? Are we at least beginning? 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:18.040 Is this process underway or not? Let's put it this way, Jesse, 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.360 I am, along with others put in place at putting 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.000 in place plans because I'm assuming that the RNC under 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.480 Ron or Rodney McDaniel will completely fail again. I'm assuming 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.120 most state gops and these presidential battlegrounds will not have 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.280 the funding or the wherewithal to do it. There are 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.400 plans in place where we are going to take a 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:41.000 run at funding probably five to six key states absentee 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.120 ballot chase programs, regardless of what the party does, regardless 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.840 of what the presidentials do. I will say this, Jesse. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.040 If we're speaking about how you put together a great 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.840 absentee ballot chase program, the one that has done it 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.120 and done it very well for our cycle after cycle 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.000 has been Florida. So if you were to say, Coody, 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.240 I think could actually implement a nationwide or battleground absentee 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.680 ballot chase program because he's done it so well in Florida. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:09.800 If he Ron de Santis, Okay, what do we make 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.520 of Ron de Santis's chances in the primary? Now? I 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.920 don't believe anybody's primary poll numbers out there. Everyone puts 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.360 out ones that lie and make them look good. I know, 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.480 I know the game, I get how it works. I'm 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.760 of the opinion though, that if the election was held today, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.480 Trump would win, and if he gets indicted, which I 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.640 know that was delayed, I think those chances only go up, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.320 not down. Can De Santis even take down Trump? I 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.480 think that's a really good question, Jesse. I totally agree 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.480 with you on both points. If today Trump wins, if 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.560 he gets indict or arrested, only adds points to his 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:47.560 lead in the in the primary, I think it's going 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.200 to be a battle Royal. I would not underestimate Ron 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.280 De Santis. At the same time, Trump is a force 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.520 of nature. Trump is beloved by the grassroots. He has 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.720 a massive vociferous following in the in the re publican base. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.600 And Ron De Santis is one of our most popular governors. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.919 I think there's still question marks about some of his 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.080 foreign policy. I was very incouraged to see his statements 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.760 on Ukraine. I'm still concerned about some of his trade 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.400 policy ideas. So a lot of this is still obviously 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.119 theoretical until they both become officially declared candidates. But the 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.520 good news is, and Jesse, this is the part that 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.959 I tell people. The good news is an America first 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.680 candidate will actually be our nominee in twenty twenty four. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.399 So let's check that box. And then we've got to 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.280 figure out the APPS how we actually put in place 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.639 this appsentee ballot chase program. But being courage, we're going 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.200 to have a good nominee, whoever, if it's Trump or 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:39.879 the Santists, And then we've got to figure out the 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.840 functional part of how we actually get to two hundred 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.879 and seventy electoral bosom in the White House. All right, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.920 let's set that aside for a moment. Let's talk about 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:52.720 American majority. I love local politics. Well that's not true. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.919 Everyone loves national politics. I believe local politics or how 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.880 we'll save this nation. Ron de Santis, Donald Trump. Neither 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.480 of them are going to save the country. The country 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.280 will be saved at local level. People like hearing that. 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.280 It gives them hope, but they don't know where to 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.680 go from there. Now. They don't know what to do. Okay, 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.439 I'm all game for local elections. What do I do? 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.640 People don't know what to do? What do they do? Well? 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.040 I go to American Majority dot org for starters. Jesse, 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.800 We've been doing this for fifteen years, really swiping a 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.680 page from the Less playbook, in which fifteen years ago 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.720 we decided we're going to put together at organization that's 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.960 going to identify and train people to run for school 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.640 board all the way up to state Senate. And I'm 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.000 a big believer, Jesse, that politics is policy. It's great 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.520 to have you great policy ideas. I think we've got 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.760 some of the bestest conservatives. But unless you win politically, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.480 all you're doing is having great conversations about great ideas. 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.359 So we teach a lot of nuts and bulls. How 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.000 do you put together campaign plan, how do you fundraise? 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.520 How do you put together get out the vote? How 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.520 do you message for the activists. It's more of how 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.280 do you do get out the vote, social media, all 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.840 these things we're also rolling out just so you know, 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.520 as part of our new curriculum in twenty twenty three, 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.159 how do you put together an absentee ballot chase program, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.679 whether you're candidate or an activist. So a lot of 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.560 what we do, and I've been doing for fifteen years 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.119 is giving people, equipping people with the nuts and bolts 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.200 of here's how you actually go and run for office 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.840 in a metric driven, goal driven a way to give 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.600 yourself the best chance to actually win, whether it's for 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.520 school board or city council or county commissioner, the state legislature. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.919 Ned give someone one piece of advice. I know you 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.440 do this for a living. I know there are many 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.840 pieces of advice you could give. But right now, there's 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.560 some parents who's going to run for school board, they 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.200 want to run for city council, they want to get involved. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.280 They're scared, they don't know what they're doing. Give them 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.359 one piece of advice. Take the time to think through 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.080 and do your research and understand what it actually takes 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.439 to run for office. What does the district look like, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.920 how many votes will it take where he's starting from, 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.080 what's your message? Put all those pieces together and don't 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.159 just jump into it and figure it out. If you 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.240 take a couple of days, maybe a couple of weeks, 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.399 to really think through some of the fundamentals, which of 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.920 course we highlight an American majority, it'll make the approach 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.840 and you're run much better. But I will say this, Jesse, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.639 the thing that I would tell people listening, it's incoming 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.520 upon everybody to actually do something. The republic is at stake, 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.800 and whether it's you helping somebody run for school board 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.760 or running for school board, or running for city council 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.960 or county commission or the state legislature, I think we 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.840 all have to elevate our game and our involvement in 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.240 every sphere of influence that we have in the moment 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.439 because we don't do something and do it quickly. I 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.439 do not like what our future looks like if we 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:32.120 continue to see the Left continue its march and not 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.879 see more losses. We have to actually meet them on 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.000 the political battlefield at all places and beat them. And 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.160 if we don't beat them, we're going to regret it. 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.440 That's a fact. Ned keep doing it, man, I appreciate you. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:50.840 Thanks Jesse. All Right, we have a this weekend vokeism 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.240 next and it's a frigging doozy. You know what else 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:58.359
