Speaker 1: All right, News Roundup and information Overload hour.
Speaker 2: Here's our toll free telephone number if you want to
Speaker 2: be a part of the program. It is eight hundred
Speaker 2: ninety four one sean if you want to join us.
Speaker 2: I have been making the case on this program on
Speaker 2: my TV show that these are uncharted waters in terms
Speaker 2: of a midterm election year. Usually, historically, trend show that
Speaker 2: the party in power, in other words, the party that
Speaker 2: has the White House more often than not there have
Speaker 2: been a few exceptions, will lose seats in the House
Speaker 2: and usually the Senate as well, and it usually is
Speaker 2: a better off year election year for the party out
Speaker 2: out of power. I'm arguing that all bets are off
Speaker 2: and these are uncharted waters because the Democratic Party that
Speaker 2: once existed, that we once talked about and spoke about
Speaker 2: for decades, no longer exist as it once was for
Speaker 2: a democratic party to adopt. And we've gone over you
Speaker 2: know Grand Platner's record, you know at nauseum.
Speaker 1: I won't repeat it all here.
Speaker 2: And the more interesting part of it is that so
Speaker 2: called leaders of the Democratic Party will not condemn Grand Platner, if,
Speaker 2: if anything, they have embraced him. You've got a guy
Speaker 2: Elsayed running for the Senate in Michigan. That is out
Speaker 2: there campaigning with a guy by the name of Hassam
Speaker 2: Piker who said that America deserved nine to eleven. Then
Speaker 2: you got six gender tell Rico and God is non
Speaker 2: binary and all these other bizarre comments about putting a
Speaker 2: welcome mat on the border with Texas and having open borders,
Speaker 2: and he doesn't. He wants to run a meatless campaign
Speaker 2: down there, and wants to fight for the rights of
Speaker 2: transgender men to have access to abortion. Other comments about
Speaker 2: Jesus have really raised a lot of people's eyebrows there.
Speaker 2: So if you look at this party, now you add
Speaker 2: to this what happened last last week, and you've got
Speaker 2: all these Mamdani back radicals, democratic socialists, I would argue communists,
Speaker 2: but let's not you know, split hairs here, people that
Speaker 2: don't want police at all, like this woman of Villa
Speaker 2: or supporting you know, the block the Bombs Act to
Speaker 2: halt any US defense of Israel.
Speaker 1: It's become you know, the squad.
Speaker 2: The anti Israel crowd has gotten louder and louder and louder.
Speaker 2: This is a woman that participated in a pro Palestinian
Speaker 2: rally in Times Square in New York on the day
Speaker 2: after October seventh, twenty twenty three. Now you got all
Speaker 2: the other candidates, and their radicalism is just as bad.
Speaker 2: But then you've got like, where where is the rest
Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party that used to be more reasonable,
Speaker 2: more moderate? And but for the exception of John Fetterman,
Speaker 2: I can't think of one Democrat that has the moral
Speaker 2: courage to stand up against what is a full on
Speaker 2: takeover of a party that used to be far more moderate.
Speaker 2: And I thought they were always kind of extreme anyway.
Speaker 2: But there's a political report today that the Democratic Socialists
Speaker 2: are now planning to topple Chuck Schumer. I think that's
Speaker 2: just you know that that's going to be the canary
Speaker 2: and the coal mine for them. But you know, the
Speaker 2: their silence is deafening. Jefferies has a socialism dilemma. New
Speaker 2: York victory is exposed in the Democratic Party. You know,
Speaker 2: Van Jones has just hit the panic button, warning that
Speaker 2: the roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party. He says,
Speaker 2: this is a new era of Democratic Party politics. And
Speaker 2: then you look at, you know, other things like polls
Speaker 2: that have just recently come out America's pride in the
Speaker 2: US and democracy is dropping dramatically, especially among Democrats. It's
Speaker 2: stayed relatively the same among Republicans. Anyway, here to analyze
Speaker 2: or help us analyze all of this, we welcome back
Speaker 2: to the program our friend Mark Halpern. He's the editor
Speaker 2: in chief of Two Way. Do you agree with me
Speaker 2: that these are uncharted waters We've never seen a midterm election,
Speaker 2: you know, unfolding like this before.
Speaker 3: Sean good afterc and good evening, a good day. I
Speaker 3: agree with about ninety eight percent of what you said.
Speaker 3: I'll say we're not waiting for the canary in the
Speaker 3: coal mine. The canary has passed away and has been
Speaker 3: long buried. We've already seen in this New York race
Speaker 3: just a watershed moment, not just for the Democrats but
Speaker 3: for the country. I've been trying to think of what
Speaker 3: would be the equivalent laundry list of right wing positions
Speaker 3: that if a candidate took them, and then they were
Speaker 3: endorsed by Speaker Johnson, how the media would react to that.
Speaker 3: Because on Saturday, after days of equivocating, Hakeem Jeffries tweeted
Speaker 3: at his support for these three radical candidates in New
Speaker 3: York and he doesn't want to engage on their policy
Speaker 3: positions and their past social media posts. But this is
Speaker 3: an extraordinary group of people who have infiltrated the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: They're hostile to the Democratic Party, but because they're outsiders,
Speaker 3: and because they're left wing, and because they oppose the
Speaker 3: status quo, they're winning races, not in every district, but
Speaker 3: in enough places that there has an existential and fundamental
Speaker 3: question for the party. Is this kind of person welcoming
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party or not? The verdict you know, Fetterman's
Speaker 3: not to the only one. Josh Gotttheim, or the congressman
Speaker 3: from New Jersey, There's a few other examples. The rest
Speaker 3: of the party seems to be so afraid of this
Speaker 3: part of the movement that they're welcoming them in.
Speaker 1: So how does this play out? Now?
Speaker 2: You can add to this a couple of other parts
Speaker 2: of this equation heading into this midterm. One, you have
Speaker 2: a Supreme Court decision on racial jerry mandering that did
Speaker 2: not go the Democrats way, Abigail Spamberger's power grab that
Speaker 2: didn't go Democrats way. I think you're looking at a
Speaker 2: net ten to twelve jerry mandered seats that will help Republicans.
Speaker 2: I argue they just basically are catching up to what
Speaker 2: the Democrats have been doing for decades. But so there's
Speaker 2: a lot of factors here, a lot of things, a
Speaker 2: lot of balls in the air that to me make
Speaker 2: this unpredictable.
Speaker 1: Now I'll add this, and then I want your thoughts.
Speaker 2: I don't think the events that will define the outcome
Speaker 2: of this election have even happens.
Speaker 1: Yet. We have to see how a ran plays out.
Speaker 2: We have to see if Scott Besson is right and
Speaker 2: the economy is going to rebound in a massive way.
Speaker 2: Oil prices, by the way, went below price of a
Speaker 2: barrel of oil went below what it was even before
Speaker 2: the Iran conflict started. I think that's going to bring
Speaker 2: needed relief for American taxpayers.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you agree that.
Speaker 2: It's too unpredictable this moment to figure out what's going
Speaker 2: to happen.
Speaker 3: I said the two factors you sided. The third, E'd
Speaker 3: add the end of the war, if it happens, whether
Speaker 3: Scott Bessen's right about the economy, and then how do
Speaker 3: people feel about the president and the job he's doing
Speaker 3: as of today. Despite those those factors you cited, redistricting
Speaker 3: and the Senate battleground map which favors Republicans, despite that,
Speaker 3: as of today, the Republicans would lose both chambers. But
Speaker 3: there's there's time for things to improve for the Republicans,
Speaker 3: and part of that improvement could come with the Democrats
Speaker 3: welcoming Democrats socialists into their tent. I think that's an
Speaker 3: unpredictable variable too. It's as unpredictable as the whether the
Speaker 3: economy gets better, whether the war comes to a good
Speaker 3: conclusion for the United States. Because on paper, this should
Speaker 3: be this should just be a layup, slam dunk, whatever
Speaker 3: you want, whatever metaphor you want to use for the
Speaker 3: President and Republicans. But let's see how it gets executed,
Speaker 3: and let's see how much worse it might get. We've
Speaker 3: seen new tweets from this lady in New York, Chevalier.
Speaker 3: Let's see if there's new videos of her. I bet
Speaker 3: there are, And we're Democrats going to say, well, she's
Speaker 3: just one person. She does represent our party. Well, if
Speaker 3: she didn't represent the party, I think the President's going
Speaker 3: to make them pay a price for not repudiating her
Speaker 3: for being a member of the party. And I think
Speaker 3: that's potentially when you talk about this being an unpredictable year,
Speaker 3: We've never seen a party welcome in people with positions
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: Never and it's leadership not having the moral clarity courage
Speaker 2: to take them on. With the exception of one guy,
Speaker 2: John Fetterman. Let me go to your prediction that you think,
Speaker 2: as if the election were held today, that Democrats would
Speaker 2: take the Senate.
Speaker 1: Are you saying that.
Speaker 2: Graham Platner wins Maine because I don't think so. Are
Speaker 2: you suggesting that they win Iowa? I don't think they
Speaker 2: win Iowa. Do you think el Saied wins Michigan. He's
Speaker 2: got a shot, for sure, but so does Mike Rogers.
Speaker 2: I think Republicans there's no way I see tell A
Speaker 2: Rico winning in Texas, and that leaves Georgia North Carolina
Speaker 2: also advantage him definitely going into you know, this election
Speaker 2: year for Mike Wattley, he's got up his game if
Speaker 2: he wants to win in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you left you left too off Alaska New
Speaker 3: Hampshire and look today.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think Alaska is a problem.
Speaker 3: Okay, today I don't either. That's what it sounded people's
Speaker 3: listening today today, some of those states would go Democrat. However,
Speaker 3: obviously there's time. But if you look at internal Republican
Speaker 3: polling in those states today, Mike Rodgers would lose today,
Speaker 3: today Collins would lose today. But these races are not
Speaker 3: going to are not blowouts. And again this is not
Speaker 3: a partisan position or a media analysis. This is what
Speaker 3: Republicans will tell you. Things have to get better in
Speaker 3: terms of the President's approval rating. Republicans have to do
Speaker 3: a stronger job of defining this as a choice election
Speaker 3: rather than a referendum on the president. I don't believe
Speaker 3: in the end the Republicans will lose Iowa or or
Speaker 3: main I just don't. But today they will.
Speaker 1: And you don't think they'll lose Alaska either.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. I don't think they'll lose Texas either.
Speaker 3: In fact, I still believe that Republicans have a better
Speaker 3: chance of picking up Net one than Democrats have of
Speaker 3: taking the majority. And I i'n't heard many people frame
Speaker 3: it that way, but I really do believe that Democrats
Speaker 3: are in real danger of losing Democratic kelseats in Michigan
Speaker 3: and in New Hampshire and Georgia because of what happened
Speaker 3: in the governor's race and the primaries. I think Georgia
Speaker 3: is going to be more in play than people are
Speaker 3: generally thinking now.
Speaker 2: So I'm telling tell me why you think Georgia Senate
Speaker 2: race will be in play more.
Speaker 3: Because if you look at the two gubernatorial nominees, the
Speaker 3: Republicans nominated a billionaire who already spent tens of millions
Speaker 3: to get the nomination. I don't think he's going to
Speaker 3: close his check book, and he's a pretty good fit
Speaker 3: for the state. Democrats nominated the former very liberal governor,
Speaker 3: a mayor of Atlanta, And while Democrats deride the Republican
Speaker 3: Senate nominee, mister Collins, I think he's done a good
Speaker 3: job so far of defining the terms of the race.
Speaker 3: So it's a red state, it's not a purple state
Speaker 3: or a blue state. I think Governor camp very much
Speaker 3: is determined to play a big role here. I think
Speaker 3: you'll be in the sink for the first time in
Speaker 3: a while with the president. And so if you're looking
Speaker 3: at ass Off, you know, maybe winning by three on
Speaker 3: a great day. And now we look at the governor's race,
Speaker 3: and I suspect a lot of straight ticket voting in Georgia.
Speaker 3: I think I think I'll be curious to see, after
Speaker 3: things settle down and get to the fall, what the
Speaker 3: polling is like in the governor's race. But I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised to see Jackson with a substantial lead if
Speaker 3: the economy looks good, and if Jackson is going to
Speaker 3: win the governor's race by a lot. You know, you
Speaker 3: think about who's a Jackson as off voter. If you
Speaker 3: think there are going to be a lot of those,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think so either. I quick break more with
Speaker 2: Mark Alprin on the other side. We'll also get your
Speaker 2: calls in. All right, we continue with Mark Alprin, editor
Speaker 2: in chief of Two Way, as we break down what
Speaker 2: is really an unprecedented, you know, a midterm election year,
Speaker 2: uncharted waters.
Speaker 1: As I always say, I'm sure you saw.
Speaker 2: Political today and they're pointing out the Democratic Socialist are
Speaker 2: now planning to take down Schumer. Schumer's silence has been deafening.
Speaker 2: It was deafening on Mom, Donnie. It's been deafening on
Speaker 2: these three people that got elected last week. It seems
Speaker 2: to me that the only thing took Schumer and Hakim
Speaker 2: Jefferies really care about at this point in time, is
Speaker 2: hanging on to you know, their quote positions of power,
Speaker 2: and they showed just it's not even a reluctance or resistance,
Speaker 2: it is a complete unwillingness to take on these radical ideas.
Speaker 2: Does that spread across the country? Is there a nationwide
Speaker 2: effect to what they're doing?
Speaker 3: Look, we had in twenty sixteen two people run for
Speaker 3: the major party presidential nominations who weren't members of their
Speaker 3: own party. One became the nominee of his party and
Speaker 3: changed the party fundamentally and it's kept control of it
Speaker 3: for ten years, remade it in his image. The other
Speaker 3: was cheated out of the nomination by the establishment Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 3: Had had they not cheated the Democrats out of the
Speaker 3: established the established and not cheated Bernie Sanders out of
Speaker 3: the nomination, I suspect Sanders would have been in control
Speaker 3: of the Democratic Party and done the mirror image of
Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is. What's more popular within the Democratic
Speaker 3: base right now where all the energy and active activeness
Speaker 3: is socialism or Chuck Schumer. We know the answer to
Speaker 3: that is so they can read polls, they hear from
Speaker 3: their advisors, They read social media. They're they're trying to
Speaker 3: save their lives, and they're thinking very old fashioned terms
Speaker 3: about power and about party and about the country, and
Speaker 3: maybe they can hang on a little bit longer. But
Speaker 3: they're making a deal with the devil here regarding the
Speaker 3: traditional views of the party, and they're really taking a
Speaker 3: risk that what they're going to end up with is nothing.
Speaker 3: They'll lose their jobs, they'll be overthrown by the by
Speaker 3: the by the by the Socialists, and they won't have
Speaker 3: done everything they could to try to keep the party
Speaker 3: moored to something more towards the center.
Speaker 2: I'd say with ninety five percent in agreement at this
Speaker 2: moment in time. I think obviously events will change things.
Speaker 2: I want to see how the economy recovers. I want
Speaker 2: to see how the issue with the RAM plays out.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot that will happen between now and November.
Speaker 1: It's going to be.
Speaker 2: To me, it's the most fascinating midterm I've ever seen
Speaker 2: in my lifetime. But Mark Alpin, appreciate you. Don't forget
Speaker 2: you can find Mark. He's the editor in chief of
Speaker 2: Two Way. Appreciate you being with us as always. Thanks Mark,
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, Linda. Did we get any more calls
Speaker 2: since I took a couple of days off to try
Speaker 2: and heal a little bit about whether I was dying
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 4: I told him you were just playing hooky and to
Speaker 4: stop with all the you know, the fear and wonder.
Speaker 4: I was like, listen, he's tired, he just needs the rest.
Speaker 1: That's actually not what was going on.
Speaker 2: I mean I had so let me give you the
Speaker 2: you want the full version or you want the half version.
Speaker 1: You already know the version I know, so I tell
Speaker 1: the whole version.
Speaker 5: You should tell the version.
Speaker 1: Probably okay.
Speaker 2: So I've had look over the years, I was a
Speaker 2: pretty good athlete, active athlete, and over the years in
Speaker 2: my cervical spine, I've had degeneration and I have bulging
Speaker 2: discs like two, three, four, and five I think is
Speaker 2: the number.
Speaker 1: And one of them got.
Speaker 2: Pinched and it was like the worst pain I ever
Speaker 2: had ever. So go to the doctor like you're supposed to.
Speaker 2: I get an MRI, like you're supposed to. Doctor says
Speaker 2: inflammation has to come down. And the way they take
Speaker 2: down inflammation is a medicine called prednozone, which is the
Speaker 2: worst medicine ever made that actually works, it lowers inflammation.
Speaker 2: I've taken it probably like two hundred times over the
Speaker 2: course of my career. When my vocal cords get inflamed
Speaker 2: and I'm on the road and I don't have the
Speaker 2: luxury of taking off, I would take prednizone and it
Speaker 2: would lower the inflammation of my vocal cords. Linda, you've
Speaker 2: been with me. When I had it, usually get a
Speaker 2: little bit bloated. That's a known side effect of pread
Speaker 2: in the zone. And then I tried to get off
Speaker 2: it a little bit too quickly. My mistake, my bad,
Speaker 2: my dumb, and then it impacted my voice last week,
Speaker 2: and for most of last week my voice was kind
Speaker 2: of struggling a little bit.
Speaker 1: And every day you will give me a grade on
Speaker 1: my voice. How does it sound today?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's the best it sound in a week, for.
Speaker 2: Sure, exactly. So you know with that, I said, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll take off. Because all these articles are being written Hanned.
Speaker 2: He looks like he's dying.
Speaker 1: Hanned. He looks like he's headed for the grave.
Speaker 2: Now, the funny part is when I put up on
Speaker 2: X this post explaining just that this has happened to
Speaker 2: me so many times in my career.
Speaker 1: It is. It is a necessary medicine.
Speaker 2: First of all, you get bloated, you get flush, you
Speaker 2: get ravenous, You're like hungry as can be.
Speaker 1: You can't can't sleep.
Speaker 2: That makes you irritable, and it just but it does
Speaker 2: take down the imflammation. Now, the good news is I
Speaker 2: am completely pain free because the imflammation came down. It's
Speaker 2: settled down. My voice is back. I still have a
Speaker 2: little bit of the bloat still there. People will watch
Speaker 2: TV tonight and say, adn't he's about to die.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
Speaker 2: It's a it is a natural side effect to this medicine.
Speaker 2: You have worked for me for twenty years. How many
Speaker 2: times do you recall I've taken this medicine.
Speaker 5: Oh, many, many times, many.
Speaker 1: Times right because we're on the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's it's always been your kind of
Speaker 4: You hate it, but it's your go to.
Speaker 1: I hate it, it's a go to anyway. The good
Speaker 1: news is I've been off at six days.
Speaker 2: But sometimes it takes about four to five weeks to
Speaker 2: totally get out of your system.
Speaker 1: So you know, I still well.
Speaker 4: I mean, you should probably let people know that's why
Speaker 4: you have what they call moonface because you know you're
Speaker 4: on prendices.
Speaker 1: That's what they call it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know I.
Speaker 1: Think I look better with moonface? Do you think I
Speaker 1: look better with moonface?
Speaker 5: I don't know that. I think that you look better
Speaker 5: at movies.
Speaker 4: I think that might be fake news, but uh, that's
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 2: Were you as surprised as I was that people actually
Speaker 2: were writing these ridiculous comments?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 4: I think everybody's doctor Google. Some of it came out of,
Speaker 4: you know, hope for you to be better. Some of
Speaker 4: them wanted you to be dead. There was a weird
Speaker 4: mix in between, I mean, but it was a lot
Speaker 4: of chatter. I'm glad you took control of the narrative.
Speaker 2: Well, the problem is we took control of the narrative
Speaker 2: on this radio show probably three or four days last week.
Speaker 1: It's not like I didn't talk about it.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: In the post office was helpful. That was helpful too.
Speaker 1: When Blair put it up. I wrote him like an
Speaker 1: hour later, I said, how's the reaction?
Speaker 2: He goes, well, half a wishing you well and praying
Speaker 2: for you, and the other half want you dead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the same thing I saw exactly right.
Speaker 1: Oh is it still up there or is it calmed down?
Speaker 5: It's up there. People are talking.
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's a lot of chatter today because you're
Speaker 4: back in your yapp and and you sound fine. So
Speaker 4: the librizzal said, the Conservatives and the Christians are fine.
Speaker 5: We'll all move along.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you'd think it is the worst thing
Speaker 1: on earth. It actually is not.
Speaker 2: All right, We've got to get We got so much
Speaker 2: to get to Bill Maher I found made the most
Speaker 2: interesting comments over the weekend. He did have JD Vance on.
Speaker 2: I thought it was an interesting exchange, and he told JD.
Speaker 2: If this is where the Democratic Party is heading, meaning
Speaker 2: this hardcore radical, anti Semitic left, he said, his vote
Speaker 2: will be in play.
Speaker 1: Let's play that this is where.
Speaker 7: The Democratic Party is going, where this democratic socialist, this
Speaker 7: obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating with they don't
Speaker 7: believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they're going,
Speaker 7: my vote is in.
Speaker 1: Play, okay. And I like to hear that.
Speaker 7: It actually always has been. I just every year. I
Speaker 7: don't make my decision by who is an R or D.
Speaker 7: Actually came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better, sure,
Speaker 7: and voted for them. And Trump can't run again, and
Speaker 7: he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway, So it's.
Speaker 1: Either going to be you or Rubia. And then mar
Speaker 1: praised Republicans.
Speaker 2: They're the ones that go on a show, and he
Speaker 2: says he can't get Democrats like Mamdani or AOC or
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris to go on a show. And I think
Speaker 2: this is more revealing than anything else that he's saying here.
Speaker 7: I'm just glad you're talking to me, you know, I mean,
Speaker 7: I say it every time. And the Republicans come here,
Speaker 7: they take their beating like a man.
Speaker 1: It's the people I vote for. They're the ones who
Speaker 1: won't talk to me. That's odd, isn't it?
Speaker 7: It is very odd?
Speaker 1: I mean, and i'd probably like this new woman who
Speaker 1: was elected in New York. Do you think she'll come
Speaker 1: on the show. Oh, I know you are.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 7: I can't get AOC, I can't get Mendanni. I can't
Speaker 7: go and get Kamala Harris. You know it took me
Speaker 7: eight years to get Obama. Anyway, let's not talk about
Speaker 7: my problem. And I promise this is going to be
Speaker 7: a lot easier than talking to the Iranian.
Speaker 1: Or or even more the view. The question is whether
Speaker 1: it's harder than the view. That's right.
Speaker 2: Now, here's the interesting part to me, and I want
Speaker 2: to know if it's interesting to you. He was saying
Speaker 2: that this midterm election.
Speaker 1: Is a lock.
Speaker 2: Now we have El Sayed, Now we have Graham Platner,
Speaker 2: Now we have Tela Rico. Now you have Chuck Schumer
Speaker 2: and Hakeem Jefferys afraid to dare ever take on the
Speaker 2: radicals in their party. And so this now is a
Speaker 2: midterm election year that is the most unpredictable we've ever
Speaker 2: seen in our lifetime, because I think as the country
Speaker 2: begins to see that the whole party is radicalized and
Speaker 2: is now the party of Mamdani and AOC and Bernie
Speaker 2: and Pocahontas and El Sayed and tell Rico, how does
Speaker 2: I mean the mainstream Democrats?
Speaker 1: Is there any way they win those votes over?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something right now, the DSA has
Speaker 4: one thing that neither the Republicans or the Democrats have.
Speaker 4: They are unified in their hatred of America. And they've
Speaker 4: got more funding than God. Between Nevill Singham and Soros
Speaker 4: and everybody else that's giving them money. These are a
Speaker 4: bunch of really dumb people who have never had jobs ever,
Speaker 4: literally including Mom Dannie. They have never had a real job,
Speaker 4: and suddenly they're soaring to the top of the polls
Speaker 4: as we try to get the save AC pass because
Speaker 4: there's nobody watching who's doing what it is beyond the pale.
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you right now, if we don't get
Speaker 4: our act together and the Republicans don't start sticking together
Speaker 4: because we don't even need enemies, we have each other,
Speaker 4: we'll just kill each other. And the Democrats, the regular
Speaker 4: Democrats are just trying to figure it out. You know
Speaker 4: which ways up. Schumer doesn't matter, Pelosi doesn't matter, AOC does.
Speaker 1: Schumer's done, So is that Kim Jeffers Their day is
Speaker 1: at numbered.
Speaker 4: I don't know that Hikeem is done, but he basically
Speaker 4: has two options. He either has to get in line
Speaker 4: or he's it's over, like that's what they're telling him.
Speaker 2: Well, he showed every indication this weekend that he's going
Speaker 2: to get behind the radicals that were elected last week.
Speaker 4: And I agree, I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I think he's capitulating because he's trying to save his
Speaker 4: own ss. He doesn't care about the country. They don't
Speaker 4: care about the country. They want the country to fail.
Speaker 4: They have no love of America. The irony of that
Speaker 4: is not lost on any of us that are looking
Speaker 4: at the end of this week in July fourth.
Speaker 2: This is where they want to fundamentally change America.
Speaker 1: This is why all of these polls.
Speaker 2: Keep coming out that show that the Democrats are not
Speaker 2: proud of their country. Will not fly an American flag
Speaker 2: this fourth of July. And there is such a dramatic
Speaker 2: difference between how Republicans Conservatives view the country, are proud
Speaker 2: of the country, are grateful for the country, and Democrats
Speaker 2: are not.
Speaker 1: Scott and Illinois. Scott, you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6: Hi, Hi, Sean. Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, Thank you.
Speaker 6: With the Save America Act really would push us toward
Speaker 6: fraudless or less fraudulent elections. Why are four to five
Speaker 6: of our Senate Republicans against it. I just don't understand it,
Speaker 6: particularly going into the midterms, because we really got to
Speaker 6: get to Save America Act passed to put our odds
Speaker 6: in much better standing for passing the midterms and that
Speaker 6: will give us an ability to carry out the Trump
Speaker 6: agenda for the last two years. What are your thoughts
Speaker 6: on it?
Speaker 1: It's frustrating to me.
Speaker 2: This is an eighty five percent issue, and you would
Speaker 2: think that on an eighty five to fifteen issue, Republicans
Speaker 2: would stay united. They don't want that. They can't get
Speaker 2: the votes. John Thune is not going to push aside
Speaker 2: the filibuster. I don't know how they could possibly put
Speaker 2: it in a reconciliation bill. So you know, we're basically
Speaker 2: held hostage until some Republicans get allowed enough message from
Speaker 2: their constituents that this is what people want. I mean,
Speaker 2: you were talking about the most basic fundamental integrity issues
Speaker 2: involving elections. You're talking about proof of citizenship and voter
Speaker 2: ID Why would anybody not want that?
Speaker 1: How about we ask that question?
Speaker 6: Yes, you know, it's interesting in regard to last week's
Speaker 6: victories by the Socialist you would think they would push
Speaker 6: these four to five Republicans were against it off the
Speaker 6: docket here and get behind the Save America Act. They
Speaker 6: know what's coming down the line, and you know I
Speaker 6: office in Lake Geneva and our great Senator Ron Johnson
Speaker 6: here in Wisconsin. He's gone as far as advocating for
Speaker 6: new King of Film Muster.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of Republicans. Now, I don't think Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is wrong. I think this new radicalized democratic, socialist,
Speaker 2: really communist Party, if they ever get back in power,
Speaker 2: which is what makes this the single most important midterm
Speaker 2: election in you're a lifetime, in our lifetime, I believe
Speaker 2: they'll nuke the filibuster. I believe they'll packed the courts.
Speaker 2: I believe that Puerto Rico DC statehood. That's only the
Speaker 2: tip of the iceberg. I think any election integrity measures
Speaker 2: will be removed, never mind strengthen they're going to be removed.
Speaker 2: And at that point they will push for their you know,
Speaker 2: socialist radical redistribution, you know utopia, new Green Deal utopia
Speaker 2: and God helped the country.
Speaker 1: Now. The worst part is they'll also be you.
Speaker 2: Know, endless investigations into all things Donald Trump, and we'll
Speaker 2: go right back to where we were between twenty twenty
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Not only will the Trump agenda be staff which
Speaker 6: has been probably the most successful agenda covered in such
Speaker 6: a quick time in American history, but just passing to
Speaker 6: save America Act, Sean, we'll protect and save our constitutional and.
Speaker 2: Public Well, I think, I mean the values that made
Speaker 2: this country great, that they remain constant, you know, the
Speaker 2: idea that we you know, Americans don't want to embrace.
Speaker 2: Not every American wants to embrace freedom. You know, there
Speaker 2: is an argument to be made that is appealing too many,
Speaker 2: and that is the false security the government will take
Speaker 2: care of your every need. But I ask you, what
Speaker 2: does government do well? How are government schools doing? How
Speaker 2: is social security and medicare doing? How's Obamacare doing? What
Speaker 2: does government do that great that you would you would
Speaker 2: put in their hands the ability to steal from one
Speaker 2: group of people to give it to you, to empower
Speaker 2: them to take care of your every need. Socialism, Marxism, statism, communism,
Speaker 2: whatever it is, it always ends the same. You have
Speaker 2: broken promises, more poverty than when you started, and then
Speaker 2: you calculate how much freedom you gave up in the
Speaker 2: name of that false security. That's how it ends. And
Speaker 2: nobody can point to a single example where it didn't
Speaker 2: end that way. Anyway, my friend, I appreciate the call
Speaker 2: eight hundred and nine four one Sean. If you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program right that's going
Speaker 2: to wrap me up for today. Hannity Tonight nine Eastern
