1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Who do we blame we should blame. Let's talk about 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: that tonight. We'll talk about Joe Biden meeting with Jiji 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: and Ping Kurt Schlichtor, Terry's shieling. Oh that's coming up. 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: And I'm right, all rights deal with the elephant in 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: the room, right. I, as you well know, I am 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: a bad person. But I do two things well. I 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: make the greatest cheeseburgers in the world, and I keep 8 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: my word when I give it. And I told you 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: that I thought this was going to be this groundbreaking 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: red wave, and I even said forty plus seats, and 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: I laid down a marker. I said, if we don't 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: win at least forty seats, that I will shave in 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: a mustache. So why are you looking at this thing 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of beauty you're looking at right now? Because man, and 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: we should have name the show I'm wrong for tonight 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: because I blew that one badly. And so now I 17 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: have a mustache. And it has been funny the reaction 18 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: to shaving in a mustache, even one as fantastic as 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: this one. You see, my very not nice fans. They 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: continue to photoshop my face on various things out there, 21 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: and none of these things are nice, but dudes universally 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: think it's hilarious. They all do. Oh my, buddies, all 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: the dudes think it's hilarious. Women, including the wife, are mortified. 24 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: They're all screaming at me, growing back, shave it off. 25 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: What did you do? I just think the two different 26 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: sides of human nature are funny. I even got a 27 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: fresh trim today just so my mustache would come out. 28 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: Even more so, fellas you got about another week of it, Ladies, 29 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: you only got about another week of it. Eventually, this 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: facial hair is going to come back in and it'll 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: be gone until then. Sit there and enjoy it. Take 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: it in, enjoy every minute of it all. Right, now 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: to the mid terms, Well, this is getting worse. We 34 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: don't have the Senate, are barely gonna have the House 35 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: looks like looks like well slim majority. Why. There are 36 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. We'll talk about a lot of 37 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: those reasons tonight, but I have always believed one of 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: the main reasons is we don't have a pro freedom party. 39 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: I hate communists. I'm an anti communist. I'm not a Republican, 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm an anti communist. I want to vote for other 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: anti communists. I want to vote for people who see 42 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: tyranny and fight against it. And the truth is Republicans 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: do not. Today is a common thing for people on 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: the right. Maybe you do this. Democrats locked us down. 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: These Democrats lockdowns really because Democrats were not in power 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: when COVID hit these shores. Democrats were not in power 47 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: for fifteen days to slow the spread, No, sir, I say, 48 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Republicans there a little mini tyrants and it takes the 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 1: wind out of the sales of people like me. Well, 50 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: that's Michael Sanger about it. Joining me now, someone who's 51 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: been so on point about all this stuff for a 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: long time and obviously still is Mia Michael Sanger. He 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: wrote the book Snake Oil, one you should really read 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: if you want to understand how Ge and China use 55 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: this COVID stuff to wreck the planet. But anyway, Michael, 56 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: your piece says quote Republicans need to get serious about 57 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: the genesis of lockdowns if they want voters. Could not 58 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: possibly agree with you more, but please explain. It's your article. 59 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: Thanks much, Jessie, very glad to be here. Yeah, so 60 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, the mid terms really a bit of a disappointment. 61 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: It for the Republican Party overall across the country that 62 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: have been underperformance there that people didn't see coming and 63 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: part of the prom I think, you know, there's no 64 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: question that when you look back at the response to 65 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: COVID nine in these lockdowns and mandates, which were such 66 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: a disaster, really just you know, a horrible policy catastrophe. 67 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: And there's no question those lockdowns and mandates were mostly 68 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: in democratic states and cities. They there lyne en share 69 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: of the responsibility for that. If you look across you know, 70 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: left wing states and cities across not only the United 71 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: States but the world at large. In it's really left 72 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: wing states and cities where those restrictions were longer and 73 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: stricter and did the most damage but to their own economies, 74 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: their own residents, and their own sort of social fabrics. 75 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: So there's no question that left bears line and share 76 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: of responsibility for that. Not only that, but they have 77 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: not disavowed these policies. You know, they look prone to 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: do them again at some point. So that's awful. So 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: it stands to reason, you know, I think people were 80 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: really expecting that for that reason people would vote for 81 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: Republicans that we see those red way but that didn't 82 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: really happen. I think that didn't happen for a couple 83 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: of reasons. First of all, your Republicans in general did 84 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: not really run on COVID. They didn't really talk about 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: it that much in their campaigning. Part of that is 86 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: because you know, they have really just about it themselves, 87 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: and they sort of have run on this sort of 88 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: lukewarm well, you know, it's all Democrats. All they came 89 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: up with lockdowns, and the problem with that is that's 90 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: not really true. You know, Trump, a Republican president, was 91 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: in office when these lockdowns, worst wouldn't to affight Worth 92 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: throughout their stricts in spring in twenty twenty. It's really 93 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: a very sort of complicated story how this policy catastrophe 94 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: came about. And there are a lot of sort of 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: shady officials involved, you know, relationship with China, as I 96 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: talk about in my book Snake Oil per your introduction. So, 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think if they want voters to take 98 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: this seriously as an issue, Republicans really need to get 99 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: serious about how this policy catastrophe actually came about. And 100 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: that means you know, being forthcoming with the public, being 101 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: honest with them, with the voting public as just how 102 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: bad the damage was. You know, this is an absolutely 103 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: horrible policy catastrophe. We have tons of excess deaths among 104 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: young people which can't be attributed to the virus. Those 105 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: are tributal lockdowns. Quite frankly, just extraordinary economic damage, not 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: only in the United States. Put them on our allied 107 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: nations who are depending on us to get the science right. Um. 108 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: So this is an absolutely horrible publicans catastrophy. And the 109 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: voters see Republicans actually taking that seriously, given that the 110 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: attention it deserves, there's no question they are willing to 111 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: give Republicans their support if they look Republicans look like 112 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: they're taking it serious themselves. That's what we saw in 113 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 1: Florida with Ron de Santis outperforming there. You know, everybody knows, 114 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: you know, De Santis is the guy who is um, 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: you know, part of the anti lockdown moment. He you know, 116 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, goes on his team, goes on 117 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: social media and is um interacts with scientists who are 118 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: very opposed to lockdowns and mandates. And he really took 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: that issue head on and he was rewarded for big time. 120 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Whereas the rest of the country Republicans underperformed De Santis, 121 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, vastly outperformed. A lot of people will consider 122 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: him now the leader of the Republican part for all 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: intents and purposes. So voters know that something really awful 124 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: happened with the response to COVID where they want to 125 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: see Republicans actually teaming it seriously, figure outings, actually who's 126 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: actually responsible and being honest about the devastation or Well, Michael, 127 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: I guess I'm probably asking you a question you can't answer. 128 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: But why don't they? Then? I look, even if you're 129 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: a weenie Republican, and that's most of our elected Republicans, 130 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: you can still look at Ron de Santis and you 131 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: can see his popularity. Right. All these guys love poll numbers. 132 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: You see his popularity. Why wouldn't you try to mimic that? Right? 133 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: The Santist lockdown is state which he should never have done, 134 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: not even for a day. But to his credit, he 135 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: owned it. After about a month they came up and said, 136 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: I'd screwed this up, this was wrong, We're never doing 137 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: this again. He owned it. Why not the others? Yeah? 138 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's where the Santis really stands out, is 139 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: that although he didn't see through this the very beginning. 140 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: You know, some of us did, the Sandison not but 141 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: he quickly turned around and he said, you know, that 142 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: was a horrible mistake, and then he became part of 143 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: the anti lockdown movement and embraced it wholly from that 144 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: point four And yeah, I mean other Republicans really should 145 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: be looking at that and saying, hopefully that's what will happen, 146 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: because now it's just so no words, you know, vastly 147 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: outperformed the republic publicly, the whole across the rest of 148 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: the country underperformed. Hopefully Republicans are going to look at 149 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: that and say, you know, look what it happened here. 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: This is very clear that we need to embrace the 151 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: until lockdown movement, embrace resistance to lockdown's mandates, and gets 152 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: serious about this issue, like Ronda Santistic. So I'm hoping 153 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: they going forward, they're going to notice that why didn't 154 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: they do it going into the mid terms. I mean, 155 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, it became dogma somehow within the Republican Party 156 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: that voters didn't care about this issue. You know, if 157 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: you talk to insiders within the Republican Party, that's the 158 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: response they would usually give is that, Yeah, you know, 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: voters just aren't really into the COVID stuff, so you know, 160 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: we make some overtures to it, but it's not something 161 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: the voters are really focused on somehow, That's why they 162 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: told themselves and I mean looked out that worked out 163 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: for them or worked out horribly. Voters do care about 164 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: the response to COVID. This is an absolutely horrible policy catastrophe, 165 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: and hopefully that's they take with the Republican Party takes 166 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: from this is that voters do care and if they 167 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: see a leader like Ronda Santists taking that seriously, they 168 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: will be rewarded part and frankly, you know, aside from 169 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: just group thing within the Republican Party about that issue, 170 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: there's also if you go back into the story of 171 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: how lockdowns actually came about, public health has a lot 172 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: to answer for. There no question that the left of 173 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: particular Democrats or line share of responsibility for how they 174 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: govern their states and cities and did so much damage. 175 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: But the problem is that the original lockdowns has a 176 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: big national security aspect to it. That a lot of 177 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: right wing national security officials were involved in the genesis 178 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: of lockdowns at the very beginning too so the complicated 179 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: answer is that the Republican Party in some sense is 180 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: protecting some of their own big wigs and their own 181 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: officials by not getting serious about how these lockdowns and 182 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: mandates actually came about in the very beginning, when most 183 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: of the damage was done. So there's a little bit, 184 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, quite frankly, you can almost call it corruption 185 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: there and not being serious about how these policies actually 186 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: come about, which is what you're going to need to 187 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: do if you want to get serious about addressing Speaking 188 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: of not serious, Joe Biden met with jijin Pain today, 189 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: here's a little bit. I absolutely believe there's need not 190 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: be a new Cold War. I've met many times with 191 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Xijing Ping, and we were candid and clear with one 192 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: another across the board, and I do not think there's 193 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan. 194 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: And I made it clear that our policy in Taiwan 195 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: has not changed at all. We agreed that we would 196 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: set up a search set of circumstances. We're on issues 197 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: that were that we had to further resolve details. We 198 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: agreed that we would have our Chief of stat are 199 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: the appropriate cabinet members and others sit and meet with 200 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: one another to discuss the details of any every issue 201 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: that we That was ray and we raised a lot 202 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: of issues. Oh, let's hope he was as clear when 203 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: he was meeting him as he was when he was 204 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: discussing the meeting. You know what they didn't discuss, Michael 205 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: was COVID. Right, No, not serious is right to say 206 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: the absolute least. I mean that is just intellectually insulting 207 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: for Biden and Cheese first meeting, first and only meeting 208 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: so far, for them not to even discuss what happened 209 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: with COVID. Because for the last two plus years, you know, 210 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: Democrats in particular, or really you know, governments across what's 211 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: in the world, have been training this as just as 212 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: pandemic supervirus. They're saying that, you know, millions of lives killed, 213 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: millions was when it killed even more if we didn't 214 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: do all these lockdown That's the narrative they've been feeding us. 215 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: Democrats especially have never just avowed that merit ove and 216 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: in fact, they just extended the state of emergency into 217 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: April twenty twenty three. I mean, this is over three 218 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: years we're talking about, and a state of emergency, a 219 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: legal state of emergency in which the normal you know, 220 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: rule of law and order is suspended. That's how bad 221 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: they're telling us as far as his and we know 222 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: that China covered up this virus and the very beginning 223 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: that is just you know, accepted fact. So if they're 224 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: serious about how dangerous this virus actually was, how deadly 225 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: this virus actually was, how much damage it did, which 226 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: you know is what they've been saying for purposes of 227 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: their own domestic emergency powers and imposing all these restrictions 228 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: on the public, they should be dead serious. They would 229 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: be absolutely outrage which China. I mean, that is unforgivable 230 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: for them to cover up this virus which killed millions 231 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: and millions people around the world. They should want, you know, 232 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: to hold China accountable for that. It should be absolutely 233 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, red in the face outrage. But instead they're 234 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: talking about stabilizing relations with China. I mean, just all 235 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: you have to do is stop and think about how 236 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: intellectually insulting that is for them to be all nice 237 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: and you know, trying to stabilize relations with China at 238 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the same time they're implementing these emergency measures on their 239 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: own people because this virus that China covered up has 240 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: supposedly done all this damage. Now I feel like me 241 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: and others in the end line, you know, you would 242 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: argue that Democrats do not actually believe that the virus is, 243 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, this pandemic supervirus that they're pretending a husband. 244 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: You know, the virus has been vastly overplay in terms 245 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: of how deadly it was, and the real crime there 246 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: was that the entire world Democrats especially adopted China's response 247 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: to the virus, their way of dealing with it's lockdowns 248 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: and other stories as I go into in my book. 249 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: But you know, assuming Democrats actually mean what they say 250 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: about how deadly the virus was, it doesn't add up 251 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: that they are then being so friendly with trying to 252 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: pretending to China did nothing wrong here. It's the only 253 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: explanation for the logical inconsistency is sick see poured China 254 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: and the fact that they're placing those economic relations with 255 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: China above the rights of their own evil Michael, thank 256 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: you so much, man, I appreciate it. Thank you, Jesse, 257 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: thank you for having me. All Right, Congressional leadership, let's 258 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: talk about who knew we blame but we're hurting. If 259 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: we want to blame somebody, right, who should it be? 260 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: We'll have an honest talk about that second. Now, before 261 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: we get to that, let's get to this. Let's get 262 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: to something non political. Let's get to the fact that 263 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: my sons are getting old enough that they smell. Now, 264 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm bearing my soul to you right here. 265 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: They smell. Now it's their feet, man, They shower. We 266 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: have to make them shower every day, but they shower 267 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: every single day. And somehow the shoes. Oh, so I've 268 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: had to move one of my Eden Pure Thunderstorms. We 269 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: usually keep one in my bedroom, one in the boys room, 270 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: and then one in the general living area. One in 271 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: the living room. We've had to move it to the 272 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: mudroom where they keep their shoes. Now, that's the bad 273 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: news is I don't have one of my living room anymore. 274 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: The good news is my mudroom smells great now.

We're big on that, right, That's 292 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: what we're supposed to be on the right accountability, hold 293 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: people accountable, get what you earned, that kind of stuff. Well, 294 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: in the wake of a loss, people are always looking 295 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: to blame someone. It's just it's that old line JFK used, 296 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: and I think he stole it from someone else. Victory 297 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan. No 298 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: one wants to take responsibility for it. But the people 299 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: who are angry you me election didn't go the way 300 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: we wanted. We want someone or someone's to blame. When 301 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: I wake up the morning after the election that I 302 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: thought was going to be a red wave and you 303 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: thought was going to be a red wave and it 304 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: turned out to be a little red drip, I want 305 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: to know who and what is responsible for that. Now 306 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: I need to clarify something. The answer to that question, 307 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to elections, is rarely aim as 308 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: we make it out to be. I know what you 309 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: do after an election. You know how I know because 310 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: it's the same thing I do. I find the person 311 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: I like and I say it's not their fault. I 312 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: find the person I don't like it, I say it 313 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: is their fault. That's what we do, right If you're 314 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: a huge Trump fan, you'll say it wasn't Trump's fault 315 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: at all. As mcconald's fault, he sucks. If you hate Trump, 316 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: McConnell did, Fine, what did Trump? Dude? But let's have 317 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: a talk and honest talk about this. Donald Trump is 318 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: not elected right now. Donald Trump is most definitely not 319 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: elected in the United States Senate right now. He's not 320 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: a senator. He's a former president. Of the United States 321 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: of America. We do not have the Senate. That is 322 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: a huge deal. That means they still control all these 323 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: critical Senate committees like the Judiciary Committee and things like that. 324 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: Us not having the Senate is it's really bad and 325 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: we should have and we could have. So it's time 326 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: to us who is responsible and if we're going to 327 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: do this, we have to go to leadership first. No 328 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: matter what we do, it doesn't matter what you love Trump, 329 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Hey Trump, love McConnell, Hey McConnell, that the established manfa. 330 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you are. You have to go 331 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: to the leadership of the responsible parties. If I take 332 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: over McDonald's and in the first year we do fifty 333 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: billion dollars less than sales than McDonald's did the year before, 334 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: they're not going to come knock on my secretary's door 335 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: and say pack up or stuff. They're coming to me 336 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: because I'm in charge. And it looks like support for 337 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: ousting Mitch McConnell might be building. You know this, because 338 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: it's one thing to criticize somebody. It's another thing entirely 339 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: to criticize somebody publicly. That changes the conversation, That changes everything. 340 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: If I have an argument with my sister privately, that's fine, 341 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: We'll get over it in a day. It would be 342 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: fine if I have an argument with my sister and 343 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: I hop right on Twitter and say my sister is 344 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: such an idiot. I might to ever talk to her again, 345 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: public versus private. Josh Holly going public. It's not a 346 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: small thing. It's a big thing. Quote. The old party 347 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: is dead. Time to bury it and build something new, 348 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: all right, So what do we know? It's easy to 349 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: punch on Mitch McConnell because you didn't have a lot 350 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: of fans, right, I mean, you've seen a thousand trunk fans. 351 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you are a one heavy D fans, maybe you 352 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: are one. I love this guy. I love that guy. 353 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: Have you ever met a Mitch McConnell fan outside of Washington, DC? 354 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I do this for a living, and I haven't. You 355 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: can always find some DC consultant whose bread's been buttered 356 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: by McConnell, but other than that, no one's a fan. 357 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: So he's the one we're all jumping on. Well, is 358 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: that fair? Yeah? It is fair. I'm not going to 359 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: go over what I went over before in a previous show, 360 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: but let's go to Arizona. I mean people were talking 361 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: about Blake Masters. Blake Masters went on TV. Had this 362 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: is set Senate leadership fund Mitch McConnell. McConnell decided to 363 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: spend millions of dollars attacking a fellow Republican in Alaska 364 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: instead of helping me defeat Senator Mark Kelly. Had he 365 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: chosen to spend money in Arizona, this race would be over. 366 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: We'd be celebrating a Senate majority right now. And so 367 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: my message to the people of America, my message to 368 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: actually the Republican senators, let's not vote Mitch McConnell into leadership. 369 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve to be majority leader or minority leader. 370 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: You get a choice. You can stand with your constituents 371 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: and stand with Americans, or you can stand for Mitch McConnell. 372 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: I will leave it to the viewer to decide whether 373 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: it is just malice or whether it's gross incompetence. But 374 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: clearly Mitch McConnell cares about Mitch McConnell and less about 375 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: a Senate majority or the people of America. I think 376 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: we need a change. That's why I ran for office, 377 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: and one way or another, change is coming. Let's talk 378 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: about that. What do you see there? Is that just 379 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: sour grapes. Now, there's a good chance you like Blake 380 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: and don't like Mitch. But let's be let's be honest 381 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: adults here. What's he talking about? Is that legitimate? Well? 382 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: I told you before I ran for office in Arizona. 383 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: Arizona has two things that, when you combine them, makes 384 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: for a big problem if the National Party screws you 385 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: out of critical campaign money. What are those two things? 386 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: One to have a very very late primary. It's in August. 387 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: That sucks, man, that's awfully closed to November. But wait, 388 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: there's more. It's not just that they have a very 389 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: late primary. It's that half of Arizona voters vote early, 390 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: vote early by mail, half of them. What's that mean? 391 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Half the voters are voting a matter of weeks after 392 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: the primary has been decided. Now, what happened during those weeks? 393 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: What happened? Mitch McConnell announced that his big old rich 394 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: pack was yanking millions of dollars out of Arizona, not 395 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: only depriving Blake of those dollars, but announcing to other 396 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: donors around the country that this race isn't winnable. Eventually, 397 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: money did come in post early voting, and Blake did 398 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: come roaring back. I believe he won on election day. 399 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: I think they're still looking at that right now. But 400 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: early voting lost critical Senate seat lost, Mark Kelly seventy 401 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: nine million dollars spent, Blake masters twelve million dollars spent. Now, 402 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: maybe you're sitting there saying to yourself, twelve million dollars 403 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: as a whole lot of money, not compared to seventy 404 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: nine million. And remember, when you start talking about money 405 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: in politics, I know he can kind of feel scummy, right, 406 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: money and there it's a waste. It feels like a waste, 407 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: a wasting money. Why are they wasting money? Understand this? Please? 408 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: You are an informed voter. You're sitting there right now 409 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: on your TV, phone, iPad, however you're watching. You're sitting 410 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: here watching, I'm right right now. Why you have all 411 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: kinds of viewing options. You could be watching anything, but 412 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: you choose to come here. Why because you're a highly 413 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: informed voter who cares about politics. If every voter was 414 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: like you, nobody would need to spend a time on politics. However, 415 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: sadly they're not like you most voters, they don't pay attention, 416 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: the vast majority of them. All those issues you know about, 417 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: did you hear what this guy did? This, this guy's 418 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: scandal here, did you hear about this? You know all 419 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: these things? The average voter knows none of these things, 420 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: most voters. If you don't have the money to reach 421 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: the average voter when he sits down at night and 422 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: turns on a baseball game, then you're going to lose. 423 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: Twelve million dollars versus seventy nine was already over. And 424 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: to his point, Mitch McConnell took those millions of dollars 425 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: and instead spent them against another Republican in the primary 426 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: in Alaska. And I point out the Republican, surprise, surprise 427 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: he spent that money on was one of the ones 428 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: you would like and I would like. And who was 429 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: he spending that money on? Behalf of Lisa Murkowski, who's 430 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: practically a Democrat. There is no way Mitch McConnell should 431 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: be able to survive this kind of Senate loss and 432 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: the choices he made allocating his money. So Tom Cotton, 433 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: as much as I agree with Cotton on the issues, 434 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: as flat out wrong on this and it is unacceptable. Well, 435 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't see why we would delay the election since 436 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: all five or six of our leadership elections are uncontested. 437 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: You know, the great wrestling champion Rick Flair used to say, 438 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: to be the man, you got to beat the man, 439 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: and so far, no one's had the nerve to set 440 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: forward and challenge Center McConnell. So I support Center McConnell. Run. Then, 441 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: when you have an embarrassment on this scale, and then 442 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: you combine that with the choices that were made by 443 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, that is not somebody who can continue to 444 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: lead the Senators. And I'll tell you, I don't know 445 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: whether it's Cotton, Holly, Cruz, Paul Don't, I don't know who, 446 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: but I will be seriously disappointed if not one Republican 447 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: in the United States Senate has the guts to step 448 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: up and challenge Mitch McConnell. Seriously disappointed. If that happens, 449 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: Shame on all of you, even the ones I love, 450 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: even my friends. Shame on all of you if none 451 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: of you have the courage to step up. Christmas is 452 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: coming and it's hard to figure out what to buy 453 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: to people. I've got something for you.

When you squeeze it, 459 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: they all pop out and then they lock right back in. Also, 460 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: you'll find the most comfortable socks you've ever seen in 461 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: your life on grip six dot com, and belts use 462 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: the promo code Jesse for a special discount gripsix dot com. 463 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: The American people rejected soundly rejected the anti democratic, authoritarian, 464 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: nasty and discusive direction. The MAGA Republicans wanted to take 465 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: our country in. Okay. Well that's one theory. Let's find 466 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: out what Curtain and Terry want to say about that. 467 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: Kurt Schlicht, senior Columniststownhall dot com, also author of the 468 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: new book Inferno and my buddy Terry's Shilling, President of 469 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: the American Principles Project. All right, Kurt, everyone has a theory. 470 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: Whenever you lose, everyone has theories as through why you lost. 471 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: It's this guy's followed, it's Trump, it's mcgonald's McCarthy. It's 472 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: the sky, it's the abortionit it's whatever. Kurt Schlicktor, we're 473 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: all a little bit sore. Why do we lose? Look, 474 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: we lawyers have a word for this, or a phrase. 475 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: It's called joint several liability means a bunch of people 476 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: can be equally responsible for the same problem. There are 477 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things that went wrong, and we have 478 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: to have the courage to face them. That includes people 479 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: who like Donald Trump need to face the Donald Trump problems. 480 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: People who don't like Donald Trump need to face their 481 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: own problems. We need to look at the Republican leadership. 482 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: We need to look at the tactics, techniques, and procedures 483 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: we were using. We need to use the issue sets 484 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: we were putting out there. The fact is it did 485 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: not get beyond the margin of fraud. It did not 486 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: get between the margin of the relatively small amount that 487 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: some of the new voting rules allow the other side 488 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: to get, and that maybe we should be exploiting ourselves. 489 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: I don't like the blame thrower at I want to 490 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: find out what the problem is. I want to get done. 491 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: But that means some people need to go away. That's fine. 492 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: We got to win this in twenty twenty four. Okay, Terry, 493 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: who's to blame? I think two people are are two 494 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, groups are to blame. It's those establishment, conventional 495 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: wisdom goopiers who told us that we just seemed to 496 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: make this an election about the economy and about jobs 497 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: at about ten percent inflation. We won those groups of people, 498 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: but where we got killed was abortion and as because 499 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: Democrats campaign like crazy on abortion and how radical Republicans were, 500 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: and Republicans didn't mention the A word. If you really 501 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: wanted to win this cycle, you had to show how 502 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: extreme Democrats were, which, by the way, I still think 503 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: that up boarding a baby in the ninth month that's 504 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: eight pounds is pretty extreme, and I think the vast 505 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: majority of our Americans against that. But how many Republicans 506 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: actually went on offense there? The other thing that I 507 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: think we have to blame is this current election system 508 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: where the Democrats are focused on collecting ballots of their 509 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: party and Republicans are focused on trying to win over voters. 510 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: One is industrialized, it's mechanical, and the other is romantic 511 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and it's it's systemic, and we need to if the 512 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: Republican Party is going to win elections in the future. 513 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: We need to be just as mechanical and just as 514 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: methodical as the Democrats aren't harvesting their ballots. Kurt, you 515 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: referenced the Trump problem. What are you talking about? Well, look, 516 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: you know Trump was partly to blame for this. He's 517 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: the head guy, the commander's responsible for everything the unit 518 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: does or doesn't do. He helped pick some guys who 519 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: didn't make get it done. He didn't spend the money 520 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: he could have. But you know, while I've got criticisms 521 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: of Trump and I write about him in Town Holliday 522 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: at Lane, I think it is very simplistic for people 523 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: to say, well, if we just dump Trump will be fine. Look, 524 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: Trump came along for a reason, and the problems that 525 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: God is Trump have not gone away. We need to 526 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: do a deep dive to get to the point where 527 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: a significant majority of the American people will vote for us. 528 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: The simple fact is a lot of people will not 529 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: vote for us more than the numbers should be. There's 530 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: always gonna be some hardcorees who are unswaverable. But the 531 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: fact is we just didn't get the numbers. And that 532 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: goes whether you have the quote unquote bad candidates like 533 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 1: doctor Oz or the good candidates like Adam Laxalt, who 534 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: on paper is perfect and he's a great guy. But 535 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: they didn't get it done. It didn't happen. So we've 536 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: got to figure out why, and we've got to look 537 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: deep into ourselves. You know. I agree on the mechanics 538 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: of voting. I think that we have a different voting 539 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: system and we need to approach that. That's the battlefield, 540 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: whether we like it or not. I think we need 541 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: to talk and debate about how we handled abortion, and 542 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: maybe we handled it too well, Maybe we were too 543 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: aggressive on maybe we weren't aggressive enough. Maybe it's a 544 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: different issue that's important, but we need to talk about 545 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: it and we need to develop thick skin so when 546 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: we do the after action review of this, uh, you know, cluster, 547 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: we don't make the same mistakes again. Terry Republicans they 548 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: tend to avoid, especially the ones running in Senate races 549 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: most definitely. They tend to avoid not just abortion, they 550 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: tend to avoid all kinds of cultural issues. But did 551 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: we simply lose the culture? And that's why they do 552 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: it now? I call them we needs and I want 553 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: them to campaign on those things. But some mornings I 554 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: wake up Terry after an election like to add or 555 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: the Biden election, and I say to myself, the country's 556 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: simply further left than I want to admit. It is 557 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: no Jesse, listen, I want to assure you that Americans 558 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: do not yet support sex changes for minors, right, and 559 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: that is the bar for the Democratic Party. That's what 560 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: they support. Americans reject the radical cultural agenda that the 561 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: left has for this country in a huge fashion. The 562 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: only problem is is that no one believes that Republicans 563 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: will actually do anything to stop it. Right. The reason 564 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: we have Trump, the reason we have such a pugnacious 565 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: and extravagant and just willing to burn everything down type 566 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: Republican as head of the party right now, is because 567 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: the only people that hate Republicans more than Democrats are 568 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: Republican voters. We are so sick and tired of our 569 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: party leaders never delivering on our promises, Jesse. The last 570 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: month and a half of the campaign, what we're Republican 571 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: and leadership? What were they talking about? Entitlement reform? What 572 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? No one was calling 573 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: for entitlement reform, but that was the best Republicans who 574 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: come up with for addressing inflation. These guys are out 575 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: of control and they need to be checked. And if 576 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: the midterm elections don't serve as a check on their leadership, 577 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what will Kurt. Give me something positive 578 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: from there? It was something positive, Give me something positive. 579 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: We got another shot in two years. Stuff can turn 580 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: around one hundred and eighty degrees in a month. Okay. 581 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: The idea that we are somehow doomed is crazy. On 582 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: the other hand, we saw what happens when you get 583 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: over optimistic, which we did in this election, and I 584 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: was too. I looked at the fundamentals, I looked at 585 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: the issue set, I looked at that dattering old pervert 586 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: in the White House. They said, we can't miss well. 587 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: We didn't get what we needed to get. So the optimism. 588 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: We're not dead yet, We're not in slave yet. We've 589 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: got another election in two years. It's a good map. 590 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: Let's go see what we can do. But the most 591 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: important thing is to ruthlessly and rigorously examine what went wrong, 592 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: and that includes checking our most you know, our most 593 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: closely held beliefs. We've got to challenge ourselves. I know 594 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: what I believe I'd probably believe a lot what Terry believes, 595 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: but maybe that stuff doesn't get it done. I want 596 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: to get it done, and I don't care what we 597 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: have to do to make it happen. Terry, tell me 598 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: something positive, I'll give you everything. Listen, Jesse. These abortion amendments. 599 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: Abortion as an issue, they're going to be everywhere in 600 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and the only way out is through. 601 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: And if Republicans can figure out a reasonable compromise and abortion, 602 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: by the way, it's a fifteen week bill. If they 603 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: can figure that out and have that as an alternative 604 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: and a CounterPunch to Democrats and learn how to go 605 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: on off ends, we can win here every election from 606 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: Peter Kingdom come. The only thing that we have to 607 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: do is to start utilizing the early vote system and 608 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: maximizing our turnout. If Democrats are harvesting ballots, by golly, 609 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: we have to start harvesting ballots. We have to play 610 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: hardball just like they do. Because if it's if it's 611 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: them harvesting ballots and us winning over voters, they're gonna 612 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: it's like bring a knife to a gunfight. They're gonna 613 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 1: win every election from here to Kingdom Come. And we'll 614 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: never have a shot to fight back. Kurt Terry, Thank 615 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: you boys, thank you, thank you. All right, Well, Joe 616 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: Biden met with Jijn Ping today.

My Patriots Supply has partnered with 627 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,439 Speaker 1: the show.

I 629 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: don't know that, and I hope to God I'm wrong, 630 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: but I think there's a chance. Does everyone in your 631 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: family have an emergency three month food kit? Please make 632 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: some preparations.

What 641 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty four? Got elect a president? All right, 642 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: so let's let's do a little early preview of the 643 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: lay of the land. Joe Biden came out and had 644 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: this to say. When I announce, if I know my 645 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: intention is that I run run again, my guess is 646 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: would be earlier next year.

Joe Biden's not running for office again. Joe 649 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: Biden has served his purpose very very well. Democrats, as 650 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: horrible as they are, are smart enough to see the 651 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: the writing on the wall from Grandpa poopy Pants, and 652 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: they're going to move right along no matter what Grandma 653 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: Vodka has to say. Do you think President Biden should 654 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: run again? Oh? Yes I do.

That 658 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: is the sad part That walking cadaver is surrounded by 659 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: all of Obama. Obama's committed America hating communists, and they 660 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: have destroyed a lot. They have.
