WEBVTT - California at a Breaking Point 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.360 All right, news round up and information overload hour. Here's 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:04.840 our toll free telephone number. If you want to be 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:06.560 a part of the program, It's eight hundred and ninety 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.479 four one Sean. If you want to join us, I 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.560 see zoron Marxist Kami Mumdani unveiling his plan to shift 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:20.239 property ownership from landlords to the commit community. Oh redistribution, 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:26.079 OH socialism, oh communism two each comrade according to their need, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.639 from each according to their ability. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.559 Through our new citywide campaign Fix the City, we will 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:39.640 focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.120 we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:50.320 and property managers, and for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, 0:00:50.760 --> 0:01:00.360 we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards that 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:11.160 include community land trusts, nonprofits, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.640 Now, I'm arguing a couple of things. As we are 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.760 now months away from this very important midterm election year. 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.399 Is one the issues that will impact the results of 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.040 this election have not happened yet. 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.000 I e. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.759 What happens with Iran, i e. What happens with the economy, 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.480 the price of gas, whether or not the presidents that 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.199 the foundational economic principles he laid down in the first 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.520 year of his second term actually come to fruition. All 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.400 of that is true. But the Democrats, you know, there's 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.840 all the media wants to focus on our issues involving 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.200 Donald Trump, and he has low approval ratings and so 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.280 on and so forth, and this is a referendum on 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.800 him with the not paying attention to the Democrats have 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.440 never had lower approval ratings ever. Now, I would attribute 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.240 that to the fact that they have been taken over 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:10.440 by radical extremists like Mumdani AOC and the Squad and 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.800 other radicals, Bernie Sanders. You know, look at this guy 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.760 that's running against Susan Collins and Maine, this Graham Platner guy. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.639 I mean, it's pretty spectacular that a lot of Democrats 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.600 don't have the moral courage and fortitude to stand up 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:31.080 against this guy. You know, it's it's pretty remarkable what 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.520 we've learned about this guy. But you know, he has 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.520 posts all over read it in other places, including blaming 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.760 women for sexual assault if they got blackout, drunk, homophobic slurs, 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:47.240 calling himself a communist, all cops are bastards, labeling rural 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:53.680 white people in Maine as racist and stupid. He I 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.560 mean talking about other ridiculous comments as well. You know, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.160 it's it's just bizarre. Then, of course we have the 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.760 Nazi tattoo. I forgot to mention that. How could I 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.800 possibly forget that revelations caused staffers to quit through criticism. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.320 But here's the interesting thing I've not heard from Chuck Schumer, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.760 Hakeem Jeffries. They are scared to death of the radicals 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.079 that are in control of their party. That's why they're 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.760 leaders in name only. Kathy Hochele is scared to death 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.320 of mum Donnie, and without his support, he's probably gonna 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.120 have a tough shot at re election even in the 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.240 deep blue state of New York. You watch what's happening 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.560 in California. The top two contenders in the gubernatorial race 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.600 out there happened to be Republicans, including our friend Steve Hilton. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.720 And now last minute, all of a sudden, they want 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.000 to get rid of their quote jungle primary because it's 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.880 not benefiting them. You know, here's Graham Platner, you know, 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.800 suggesting remember Chris Kyle, American sniper. He is suggesting that 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.120 he inflated his kill numbers targeting innocent civilians and then 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.200 said then refused to apologize for celebrating video of an 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.760 American soldier being shot. This is the latest controversy with him. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.840 I didn't know who these guys were. I left that 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.880 deployment and continued on with my life, did a few 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.680 more deployments, booking the Marine Corps in the Army. It 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.480 wasn't until somebody told me to read Chris Kyle's book. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.279 His story is about how many people he was shooting. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.760 Certainly tracked with the behavior eyewitnessed and people I knew 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.000 witnessed down at the GOV Center, which is it's relatively 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.039 easy to get high numbers like that. If you're a 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.520 little less discriminating your fire than say it more professionally, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.800 and it would be out of the four tours the infantry. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:43.120 Any attempt to say that I disrespect patrooms is slanderous 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:43.680 and offensive. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:44.919 Do you think your omen an apology? 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.400 Do you know how many of my friends at Purple Hearts? 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.000 Do you know how many of my friends got. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.799 Winded joining us? Now, we welcome back to the program 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.560 our friend Mark Alpern. He's the editor in chief of 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.359 Two Way. Mark is one of the few guys that 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.120 will object analyze any race at any time and just 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.600 give you the straight scoop, and he was dead on 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.920 accurate in the last presidential election. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.159 You think I'm. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.480 Wrong in believing that what will define ultimately the outcome 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.200 of the twenty six midterms has really not happened yet. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:15.840 We don't know. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.159 We don't know how radical the left will be, we 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.440 don't know how America will perceive that. We don't know 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.600 what happens with Iran and the economy and gas prices. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.839 I think it's just too early to tell. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.000 It definitely is Sean. Thank you for having me back. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.520 I think the biggest variable that needs to change for 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.080 the Republicans is to change it from a referendum election 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.120 on the president to a choice election between two parties. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.000 And right now the Democrats are giving Republicans plenty to 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.600 work with. It's a challenge to do that in the midterm, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.039 but I think the variables you cited will see if 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.800 they clear away enough that Republicans can pull that off, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.360 particularly because they'll have a lot of resources. They're going 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.039 to have a national convention, and the Democratic brand is 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.200 in shambles, so it's possible for them. But on the 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.360 current victory, the Democrats are going to do quite well. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.640 But as you said, there's a lot of time. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.800 Let me ask you this. The Democratic Party has become 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:12.000 so radicalized. I argue as representative as represented by Mom Donnie, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:19.280 by the squadoc AOC. I contend that Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.119 Kathy Hulkl, and pretty much anybody that has ever given 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.640 any indication they may run for president in twenty twenty eight, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.440 they're all going down the road of hard, hard radical left. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.159 I don't see any moderate voices. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:40.960 Do you, Almost none, except relatively, but on issues like Israel, 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.200 on some social issues, on some economic issues. We've seen 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.640 this in both parties over years. They are captive to 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.159 the far left of the party. And it's going to 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.839 be interesting to see as some of these more modern 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.760 radical nominees win their nominations in the primaries, how the 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.440 leaders who don't want to be defined that way try 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.520 to distance himself as you were called. Jek Shimer didn't 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.600 endorse Mondami. He tried to distance himself. But now he's 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.160 the mayor of New York City, and these people win primaries, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.320 they win general elections. He's very much more difficult to distance. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.080 No, I totally agree, but I've never seen this. I mean, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.200 there's one reasonable Democrat and I'm kind of friendly with him. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.320 I text with him. He's constantly complaining about his own party. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.040 He thinks they've they've lost the plot, and that's John Fetterman. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.720 And now he's hated by his own party. I mean, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.360 how do you what does that indicate to you? 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.760 Well, it is so interesting that he is an absolute admiration. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.120 The rest of the Democrats all stick together, whether it's 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.640 Bernie Sanders in the Senate or the most moderate you know, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.720 historically most moderate, with the exception of Fetterman. He's you know, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.000 he's not of Washington, and as you know, he does 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.280 vote with Democrats almost all the time, but he does 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.360 speak out as well, and they're almost you know, too 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.920 many votes to count where he's the only Democrat who 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.680 votes with the Republicans then speaks out, and again what 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.240 speaks to is how far to the left the party 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.800 has gone since really twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton was able 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.800 to be the Democratic nominee because the party rigged it 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.600 against Bernie Sanders, Otherwise he would have been the nominee. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.760 Same in twenty twenty they rigged it against him. So 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.440 we're looking at a party that for a decade now 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.280 would have preferred to nominate a Democratic Socialists as their 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.600 presidential candidate rather than somebody more moderate. And that speaks 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.880 to a lot of where the party is on a 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.120 lot of issues currently. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.360 Let's assume for a second I'm right, and if you 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.160 think that I'm wrong, I want you to tell me 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.160 you think I'm wrong. Let's assume that somehow, some way, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.600 I'm not sure how, when, or you know it actually happens, 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.760 this conflict with the Ran settles down. Let's say associated 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.559 with that, we will now see gas prices settle down 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.960 as well all of the things that the president, the 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.880 foundation that he laid economically, including the largest tax cut 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:02.240 in history, more energy dominance independence than we've ever had 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:07.320 in history. The president also acquiring and getting commitments for 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:12.520 trillions in manufacturing for pharmaceutical, semiconductor chips, rarer earth metals, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.160 automobile manufacturing is coming back. Those are all coming online. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.520 What does that scenario look like for the Republicans heading 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.720 into the fall in November? 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.439 Before I accept your hypothetical, I'll say I deeply skeptical. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.719 Right now, that the president's going to have a path 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.440 to successfully end the war. But if everything you listed happens, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.359 and it's not impossible by any means, I think Republicans 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.120 would keep the Senate, and I think the House would 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:43.199 be more probably sixty five thirty five likely to go 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.760 Democratic because of the historical realities of being the party 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.959 out of power, but not a sure thing. I really 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.920 want to see how James Blair, the president's top political advisor, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.600 how he shapes the terrain, and how he spends the millions, 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.120 tens of millions, hundreds of millions that they'll have to 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.920 try to take turn this into a reference among the Democrats, 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.679 who we said are unpopular and seen as out of 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:04.400 the mainstream. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.280 Well, first of all, most people don't know who James 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.920 Blair is, and I'm impressed that you do, and that 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.760 would indicate to me that you probably talked to him. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.280 I spent a lot of time on Air Force one 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.480 with him when the President went to China, and I 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.320 was invited to cover the trip with the President on 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.280 that trip, and I went through a lot and I 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.840 watched him study every congressional district across the country. There 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.560 are two other things that have happened as well. Number one, 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.280 the Supreme Court, the racial jerry mandering decision, and the 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.240 Supreme Court of Virginia their decision to take away this 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.880 power grab by Abigail Spanberger that was shot down. So 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.679 I would say, on the jerrymandering redistricting front advantage Republican 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.480 what the total number of seats might be, I don't know, 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760 but you are historically correct. I mean, the party in 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.079 power historically loses seats in a midterm, and it's a 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.440 very tight margin as it is. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.440 Well. First of all, on James Blair, I ask Democrats 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.600 all the time, tell me who your James Blair is? 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.640 And I know who it is. It's James Carvill. I 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.600 love when Carvill speaks. I want Carvill and not stop speaking. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.439 I want him to say all the quiet parts outside 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.839 out loud, that they'll take you know, they pact the 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.320 Supreme Court that Puerto Rico will be a state, DC 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.640 will be a state, and that they will investigate Republicans 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.080 to death, and that I fing hate Donald Trump. I 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.240 want to hear it every day. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.120 I know you paid a hey man out there. Look 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.600 on seventy percent of the time when I ask Democrats 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.920 who there James Blair as they say, who's James Blair? 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.120 And thirty percent of the time they think about it 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.840 and say, we don't really have one. He understands not 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.520 just the individual races in the national train, but he 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.600 understands how the current election laws really allow him to 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.720 coordinate the different pots of money, the different strategic entities, 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.600 to give his party a chance to do something that 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.320 would defy history have rarely has happened to keep control 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.480 of the House, even as they controlled the White House. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.520 I think the key is going to be all the 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.880 things you've listed on the current trajectory. Honestly, it would 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.960 be a wipeout. I'm actually more bullish on democrats chances 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.360 of the current trajectory than a lot of analysts are. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.840 I think they could approach forty seats. And that's not 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.840 based on my guessing or making it up. It's based 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.280 on talking to Republican strategies who say the environment right 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.240 now is poisoned. It's not just that the Republicans controlled 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.079 the White House. The president's unpopular, His economic policies are unpopular. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.840 People don't approve of the job he's doing. But all 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.800 the things you listed, which again are within the realm 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.040 of possibility could flip all that substantially and allow between 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.920 the redistricting, the Supreme Court decision, and the superior tactical 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.959 organization I see on the Republican side, and these Democratic 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.640 nominees in a lot of places who are under unelectable 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.080 under normal circumstances, that could turn things around. And while 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.360 it's more likely than not by a significant margin currently 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.920 the Democrats take the House, it's not impossible that with 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.440 the changes you talked about in execution, Republicans could off 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.160 barely keeping the majority. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.240 All right, quick break more with Mark Halpern, editor in 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.200 chief of Two Way on the other side. Than your 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.240 calls are coming up as well. Eight hundred and nine 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.079 four one, Sean our number if you want to be 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:23.280 a part of the program. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.959 Going way beyond the headlines, on the stories that matter 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:30.880 most to you. Sean Hennity is on right now. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.199 All right, we continue with Mark Halpern, he's the editor 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.480 in chief of two Way as we look forward to 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.800 the midterm and then beyond. You know, it's fascinating you 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.440 did reveal one thing that's kind of a little secret 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.360 that I was not telling many people. The Republicans have 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.360 an awful lot of money to spend this cycle that 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.760 is going to be critical. Money means means something in elections. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.000 Let me ask you this. Every single person that would know, 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.440 every source that I have that would know, all told 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.600 me the same thing, starting with Steve Whitkoff, who said 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.840 it on the show on TV to me publicly, the 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.680 president had no choice on a rent reaction. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.560 I think the president had no choice if he wanted 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:43.040 to fulfill his promise not achieved by his predecessors, to 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.400 remove Roan's potential to be a nuclear power, whether they 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.520 were twelve days away or twelve weeks away or twelve 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.880 months away. I think it was the same decision. You 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.400 can't defer dealing with this forever, and he made the 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.680 decision about the way to deal with it was a strike. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:02.160 So not everyone agrees with Steve would cost estimate, But 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.160 as I said, it really doesn't matter the president is. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:06.800 You know, he's only in office for a limit. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.320 They could not agree with him, but the Iranians confirmed 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:10.560 it to him. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.840 Well, the Iranian. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:17.440 And he did offer them civilian grade uranium in perpetuity 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.960 for free and they didn't want it. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.240 Yeah, well, certainly, here's what I would say about that. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.080 It's the Steve we Coff and the other negotiators determined 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.080 that the negotiations at that point were joke because Iran 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.640 wasn't dealing in good faith. And you know when people 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.440 say trust but verify, you can't trust the Iranians and 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.760 there's no way to verify anything that they do, and 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.400 we've seen that over decades now. So in that sense, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.400 I don't think the President had a choice, given what 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.080 his aim was and given his belief that further negotiations 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.040 weren't going to do it, and that the clock was ticking. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.680 All right, Mark Alprim, We appreciate you being with us. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:16:09.080 Thank you. As always, you. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.360 Won't hear the mainstream press talking about this stuff. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.320 Sean Hannity is on the radio. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:17.320 You know. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.400 I want to remind you we mentioned earlier in the 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.800 program that when we had an Attorney General Ken Paxton 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.760 on the program that it is primary day in the 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.280 Great State of Texas. God Bless Texas. Somebody that I 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.440 have proudly endorsed to be the next Attorney General in 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.920 the Great State of Texas is Congressman Ship Roy of Texas. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.360 He is a fighter, he believes in the rule of law, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.560 I think he'd be a great partner to Governor Abbott. Anyway, 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.880 today is I know it's been a close primary the 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.720 whole way, and you made it to the runoff and 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.880 here you are and it's election day and upon you 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.000 and I just hope everybody listening to my voice in 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.640 Texas right now gets out and vote votes. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.440 What time do you have till? I guess seven, eight 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:00.200 o'clock to night. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.480 Yeah, Sean, great to be on. Yeah, we went out 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.879 and voted this morning, worked the polls. I've been doing 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.879 a little bit of media and then we're just getting 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.679 around and calling people, getting them to turn out and 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.639 texting them. Poles closed at seven pm, Texas time, Central time, 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.320 and look, momentums in our direction. My opponent has a 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.119 whole lot of money and he spent it, and he 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.040 spent it early. But we had a lot of people 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.440 who came in and supported us with the financial resources 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.439 necessary to get our message out. The message is pretty simple. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.959 You need somebody who's been there, who's been a lawyer, 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.159 been a prosecutor, been the FIRS Assistant Attorney General, proven 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.119 conservative track record, and importantly Sean and you know this, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.840 someone who has figured out how to deliver at every turn. 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:39.760 This is something that you and I have built our 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.320 friendship around, which is you fight and you do what 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.360 you can. But you got to figure out how to 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.640 take a win. You got to figure out how to work, 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.040 for example, during the speakers debate, how do we land 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.640 that plane to move forward as a party. You got 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.840 to figure out how to deliver for President Trump and 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.719 our agenda in the Big Beautiful Bill like we did 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.680 a year ago. And that took a lot of work, right, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.080 so much so that I had to stall the Big 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.280 Beautiful Bill for a few days to negotiate getting the 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.840 green News scam subst these repealed. And guess what, a 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.000 California super pac now spend a million dollars actually maybe 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.600 more million and a half against me in this primary 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.520 because I was successful. That's what winning looks like. So 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.960 we're getting that message far and wide, and appreciate you know, 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.440 everybody showing up and getting out vote today. We're moving 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:23.119 in the right direction. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.840 Oh, we have a big audience in Texas. I know 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.119 you would do a good job. I know you'd do 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.600 a great job. I know you'd be a great, great 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:35.560 partner to Governor Abbott, who has shown enormous courage under 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.960 you know, untenable conditions dealing with the Biden administration, especially 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:44.440 on open borders. He was clever beyond measure and helped 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.560 create a safer Texas for people. I know you'll do 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.879 the same again for all the people in Texas. It 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.160 is primary day and our friend, friend of the program, 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.199 longtime friend of the program, great Congressman Chip Roy.

I have three hours a little 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.800 over three hours, well two and a half hours from 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.879 right now to get out and vote. I want people 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.000 to go out and vote as soon as possible, and 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.639 we'll be watching tonight and hopefully reporting on you a 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.399 great win tonight. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.520 Well thanks, Sean, God bless you appreciate what you do 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.119 for the country, and we'll talk to you invest your 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:17.639 great family. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.960 Take care right YouTube Congressman Ship Roy. Important Primary day 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.320 in the great state of Texas today. All right, let's 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.720 get to our busy phones. Let us say hello to 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.840 Rick and Louisiana. Hey, Rick, how are you glad you called? 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:32.080 Sir? 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:34.480 Hey, I'm doing fantastic. 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:35.040 Hey. 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.640 Many years ago, uh I attended a business function where 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:44.920 New Gingrich out lay outline would later become the Contract 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.080 for America. I think we should have the same thing 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.000 as a national uh strategy, and not try to go 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:59.000 after individual congressional seats. But just since it uh, you know, 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:04.480 since the Democrats are like twenty percent approval rating, go 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:09.280 after you have a national advertising campaign, you know, going 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:14.199 after open borders, trans and sports crime, you know, all 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:18.439 the eighty twenty issues, voter ID and of course you 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.320 know they have to because you know the Democrats, whoever 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.000 gets elected the congress people will have to even if 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.840 they're moderates, will still have to vote with the Democratic 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.440 Party or they'll be ostracized. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:32.280 Listen. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.719 I've always loved the idea of a contract with America. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.080 I've always loved the idea of nationalizing elections. I think 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:45.240 most Americans understand there is such a distinct difference between 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.040 this radicalized Democratic Party of today that has no resemblance 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:55.240 to the Democratic Party of old, and what Donald Trump's 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.359 agenda is offering the country. They voted for the largest 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.600 tax increase in history. They want sanctuary cities and states. 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.720 They don't want voter ID, they don't want proof of citizenship. 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.000 They want taxpayer funded healthcare. For illegals in this country. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.399 They want to defund dismantled no bail laws. They believe 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:17.480 in full, complete redistribution of wealth, the greed new scam, 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.320 which is cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, communism, socialism, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:23.880 call it whatever ism you want. It will fail. It's 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.720 always failed. I don't think there's ever been a greater 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:32.280 choice moment election in our lifetime. And I've said this 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.359 many times in the course of my career. This is 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.359 the most important election in your lifetime. And I was 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.320 right in the moment, but this is way more important. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:45.119 If the Democrats get the House, it is going to 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:51.200 be two years of never ending, non stop investigations and 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.840 it's going to look it will eventually backfire on them. However, 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.040 I don't want the country to have to go through it. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.040 It's going to be hearing after hearing after hearing, lies, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:08.400 mere merchment, character assassination, conspiracy theories, all of the things 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.399 we live through with the eleven years of Donald Trump. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.879 You know, I don't want the congressional election. I mean 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.159 I would would hope they don't make them. You know, 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.159 local election, just do as a national you know, with 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.560 all the eighty twenty issues and we even have you know, 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:27.720 they're going to force electric vehicles on us. The crime's 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:29.879 going to be crazy. But you know, you've got the 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.440
