This is Outlied with Giano 5 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: called Bloss. Welcome back to Outlined with Giano Caldwell.

Pete, 16 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: We thank you for your service and welcome to the show. 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming on. Of course, thank 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: you so much for having me. It's my pleasure. So 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: naturally I want to start with the election, but first 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: I think this one question. That's paramount. You've been a 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: friend of mine for many years, but we've never had 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: a drink, dinner at lunch together. Are we real friends 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: or TV friends? B What are we? You know? I 24 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: think for real friends. I think. I think if it 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: worked for COVID nineteen, we would have had a couple 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: of drinks by now. Okay, I hope. So we were 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: moving in that direction. You know, Del Frisco's is somewhere 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: I frequent often. We need to go there together and 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: have a cheeseburger, break bread. That'll happen. Let's do it. Yeah, 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. I'm gonna hold that to you 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, America will hold you to that now. 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: So I want to get into the election is on 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: everyone's minds, and of course you're someone that the president 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: likes the shout out and you, from my in my opinion, 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: have a spot on analysis more often than anything else. Um, 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: So I want to get your thoughts on the state 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: of the race, and I want to discuss what's the 38 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: state for our country. It seems like every four years 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: we gear pondits and politicians saying this election is the 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: most important one in decades. But this year, I think 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: there's a sense that that's actually true. New English actually 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: calls it the most important elections since eighteen sixty four, when, 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: of course Abraham Lincoln was re elected. Do you agree 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: with that sentiment. I do agree with that sentiment, And 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: I try to avoid, you know, momentism, this idea that 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: we're dealing something with something so much bigger than previous generations, 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: when you know, we look at the sixties and political assassinations, 48 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: look at the civil I mean, there's our country has 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: been through horrific moments, but even in all of those 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: previous moments, and Newton others describe it in much richer detail, 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: but the basics are, uh, we agreed on the basics. 52 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: We still sort of loved America for what it was 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: and believed it to be a good and great country. 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: And then we would disagree on the margins about what 55 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: that looked like and what that future looked like. That 56 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: just doesn't exist today, And I regret to say that 57 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: I wrote a whole book about it called American Crusade, 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: where you just sort of walked through where the left 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: is today. And I think the the manifestations of things 60 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: like the sixty nineteen project of the Cancel culture, of 61 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: the way we've just decided that American style capitalism, American 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: style freedom, who we are and what we represent. If 63 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: the left believes it to be evil, they want to 64 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: tear it down. And Donald Trump simply stands up and says, 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: I think America is still a pretty good place. Those 66 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: those are really stark terms, and that's why it doesn't 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: mean a Biden administration would immediately begin, you know, tearing 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: down America. But it would open the door for the 69 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: very dangerous forces of the far left who have very 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: radical plans. And if Jill Biden were to win, god forbid, 71 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the House and Senate are likely not far behind, which 72 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: means you've got a very radical moment with some very 73 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: radical people who have a lot of anger about the 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: four Trump years and will be looking for retribution. So 75 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: I think it would be as dangerous of a moment 76 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: as our country is face as far as the election itself. Listen, 77 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I feel very good. Polls 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: don't vote. People vote, you know, and so whether you're 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: willingness to answer a poll and say that you support 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: either candidate isn't always reflective of whether you will actually vote, 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: especially in a moment like this where there's been a 82 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: lot of churn and a lot of chaos and a 83 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: lot of it's just been an act. So and we 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: know that Trump supporters will walk over glass it need 85 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: be into the polls and you see that enthusiasm. So 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: I think the the the elite crowd, the group thinkers 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: are in for another shock like except even worse because 88 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: somehow they've found a way to convince themselves yet again 89 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden has a nine chance of winning the 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: White House, just like they did Hillary Clinton even the 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: day of Election Day. I've mean, this is this is 92 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: not a knock on Fox, but even Fox internally, you know, 93 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: on Election Day at six pm was saying, hey, this 94 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: will probably be an early night for Hillary h And 95 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, and and it's just because everyone had it wrong. 96 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: And I think we're in a similar moment. But listen, 97 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: anybody who thinks they know exactly how this is going 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: to go out is lying to you. I just look 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: at the the the passion and the enthusiasm. Find it 100 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: hard to believe that that Joe Biden is going to 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: have some sort of a runaway victory. Yeah, you know, 102 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: just going back to sen I just remember being on 103 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: the air with our colleague Jamu Green on Sky News 104 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: back when Fox said that the relationship, and we were 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: on from I think nine at two am, and she 106 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: came in from the Hillary Party excited, saying, Hey, I 107 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: can get your tickets to the inauguration for the ball 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: She picked out our grants and she was excited. And 109 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: as the numbers were coming in and we begin to 110 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: see the blue wall break, she literally went on commercial breaks. 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: They switched us out for a segment with Jessica tar 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: Off and then put us back so we can just 113 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: get a break. She was in the in the in 114 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: the back room, in the green room, literally on the 115 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: phone crying. That's how something it was for them who 116 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: believed that Hrrary Clint was just going to run away 117 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: with it. Now, speaking of something you mentioned earlier, you 118 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: mentioned retribution, which we know folks on the left I 119 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: think are already trying to do that. If we look 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: at social media, where we see the Hunter Biden Biden 121 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: story continued to be dismissed by the mainstream media, and 122 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: you see folks in the Twitter sphere, if you post it, 123 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: you can get locked out. And I know you're a 124 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: guy who's experienced Twitter locking you out, and I think 125 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: you were locked out for like a month or something 126 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: like that. It was something crazy for a month for 127 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: for sharing that a domestic Islamic terrorist was motivated by 128 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: support for al Qaida, and I just quoted his words 129 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: to show that it wasn't just sort of a domestic institute. 130 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: This was a instance of radical Islamic terrorism. And for 131 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: for sharing the words of the person himself we had 132 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: shared publicly. I was blocked somehow for um promoting radicalism. 133 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: So as a newsperson sharing what the motivations are of 134 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: a of a killer, I'm somehow promoting that radical radicalism. 135 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: It was incredibly arbitrary, and it feels like small ball 136 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: compared to what they're doing to people now. I mean 137 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: it's a daily occurrence. It was when it happened to you, 138 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: it was kind of like, wow, this is someone who's 139 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: a legitimate newsperson, as as you say, how could you 140 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: lock his account? That that was something we didn't really 141 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: see see before. We just saw folks who might have 142 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: said something on the fringes maybe they would get locked out, 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: But a legitimate Fox News host gets locked out of 144 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: their account for something that wasn't crazy. No, I didn't 145 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: even say it. I was quoting. I know, I know, 146 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: I know it refused your account. I mean it was. 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: It was a whole month at least. Now now they're 148 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: blocking the fourth largest newspaper in America, right news story 149 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: for a legitio the news story that has now proved 150 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: to be validated as people have actually looked into it. 151 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: Yet they still won't unblock them for the original reason 152 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: for blocking, not at all. And you know, the idea 153 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: on the left was this is a Russian disciformation. The 154 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: d N I has disputed that the FBI this story. 155 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: He actually hit the receipt from the FBI. At the 156 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: receipt what Hunter Biden's I guess his signature was on it. 157 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: His name was on it. And you're saying, oh, no, this, 158 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: this can't be true. But the interesting party is, I 159 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: think Americans aren't stupid and they know corruption when they 160 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: see it. So this is gonna be the one that 161 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: I think will have a legitimate impact on this election. 162 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: I think. So. The real dangerous part of it is 163 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats continual insistence to just yell Russia. How dumb 164 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: is that? A It's the boy who cried wolf. You 165 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: can't cry that many times and be wrong. Have anyone 166 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: expect to believe you? So we're actually be Russia. Who's 167 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: going to believe them at this point? And second all, 168 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: how much does it empower Russia like they're jump they're 169 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: and around saying, we really are at the core of 170 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: rattling the most important republic on the planet, and we're 171 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: not doing anything right now on the scale of what 172 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: they're accusing us of doing. I mean, that's like they 173 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: planted Hunter Biden's laptop and the emails and now we're 174 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: all running with it. And it terms out Giuliani is 175 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: a Russian planet, you know what I mean. It's just 176 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: it's it's insanity. So it's actually very dangerous, which is 177 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: why when when some of us have said the biggest 178 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: Russian misinformation operators have been the left who ran with 179 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: the story that they're the booge that Russia's the boogeyman, 180 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: and they've totally discredited legitimate efforts because Russia is not 181 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: a friend, Like they're not good folks. They're still attempting 182 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: to put bounties on the heads of our soldiers, and 183 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, espionage efforts and disrupt our republic. But they're 184 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: not behind every wall, and in this case it's legit. 185 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: And here's what all it is is the left wing media, 186 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: so called mainstream media, running out the clock, refusing to 187 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: report on something that they would be damaging. But I 188 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: think the most stamaging part about it is, you know, 189 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: the most recent stuff about China and the energy company 190 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: there that Joe Biden was willing to take a ten 191 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: percent cut on and supposedly knew about um as He's 192 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: the policies of his administration have been outsourcing jobs to China, 193 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: had been undermining the energy industry, but he's happy to 194 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: take money from a state owned Chinese burn It's it's 195 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, talking about selling out your country. That's I 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: hope The angle that the president will take is he 197 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: never put America first. It was always about enriching himself 198 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: and the deals that he did make, whether it's the 199 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Crime Bill or NaSTA or whatever, ultimately we're bad for 200 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: our country. They were the bad. They were the wrong move. 201 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: He needs a hammer that follow through point to make 202 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: the hunter Biden big sting and agree with you and 203 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: then kind to continue to nail that home as we 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: move forward. To see hopefully Trump victorious. Here you explore 205 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: your recent book American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free, 206 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: which came out in May. Whether the election President Trump 207 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: is a sign of a national rebirth or the final 208 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: act of a country that is surrendered to let this 209 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: in political correctness? Can you elaborate on any idea? And 210 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: do you think that's the choice before us? I do 211 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: you know? When I when I started out to write 212 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: the book, I'm an optimistic person by nature, and you 213 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: want to see you well, I think we all are right. 214 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: We want America to be perpetuated and strong and free 215 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: and better, you know, on the promise that we made 216 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: that has always been there's always been flaws in it 217 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: because we're humans and we're imperfect. And if you want 218 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: a perfect country, then then head up to heaven. Otherwise 219 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: nothing down here is gonna gonna work that way. But 220 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: we've marched in that direction, as you know, too slow 221 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: at times and others, but moved in that direction. And 222 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: but when you look at where we are now and 223 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: we start to dissect, as I do in the book, 224 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: all the quarters in which the left has captured control 225 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: and how they've manipulated that in the culture and in 226 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: education policy because is a lagging indicator. So just because 227 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: we win at the polls on one day every four 228 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: years doesn't mean we actually have the cultural power, or 229 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: the media power, or the educational power which is actually 230 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: crafting the citizens of the future. So if you're not 231 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: crafting patriots, and you're not crafting capitalists, and you're not 232 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: crafting people of faith out and and that understand freedom, 233 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: and then you're setting yourself up for a future electoral crushing. 234 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Abraham Lincoln once said, the philosophy of the 235 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: school room in one generation becomes the philosophy of government 236 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: in the next. And that's exactly where we've fallen behind, 237 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: is in culture and in education and in our churches, 238 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: and politics is just the end of that stream. So 239 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump can win in in spite of everything 240 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: that's been done to him, it shows to me that 241 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: there's a reservoir of truth telling and goodness and and 242 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: and individuality to reject the elites and the group think 243 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: of it. That shows that we can still go back 244 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: into the culture and try to save our country if 245 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: he loses. The left has completely captured the final aspect, 246 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: which is the political sphere. Sure Republicans might win again 247 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: in the future. But what type of Republican? Is it 248 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: a watered down version that's trying to be more like 249 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: Democrats so they can be more electorally feasible. I don't know, 250 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: but it it. The average lifespan of republics is between 251 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: two and two hundred seventy five years. We're almost we're 252 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: approaching to fifty. Most republics die because they lose their 253 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: values and become self serving and apologetic for their own history. 254 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: Certainly we're seeing that right now. And so it's just 255 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: a very dangerous, dangerous moment. And the book is meant 256 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: to say, before you give up, look at what the 257 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: left has done. Fight for Donald Trump, and but that 258 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: is not the end of the fight. And it can't 259 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: just be political. It's got to be cultural and educational, 260 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: because you know, COVID has helped expose what kids are 261 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: learning in school, hopefully telling parents get you know, to 262 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: look for different options. And it's shown what government is 263 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: willing to do in our daily lives to restrict our freedoms, 264 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: to include our first freedoms. I mean, I wrote the 265 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: book before COVID nineteen happened, and it's called Our fight 266 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: to stay free, and we've been in the middle of 267 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: a fight to actually stay free, so it's only amped 268 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: up since then. Now that kind of brings me to 269 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: my next question, because I think you laid out a 270 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: really good foundation, especially talking about your book, which is amazing. 271 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Everybody should go pick up Pete's book, America Crusade, Our 272 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: Fight to Stay Free. This is a really important question 273 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: because I think we have ponds to be on that 274 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: on television all the time talking about the Trump presidency, 275 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: what we've seen, and I often say, especially when it 276 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: comes to African Americans, President Trump has been the most 277 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: impactful president from a policy standpoint, not the rhetoric, but 278 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: from a policy standpoint, he has been the most impactful 279 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: president for that particular community, to black community. How would 280 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: you evaluate is it in Trump's first term that we 281 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: know it wasn't by no magic perfect, so I don't 282 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: think anyone will go in with that idea, But how 283 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: would you evaluate it? People? I think he I would 284 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: evaluate it based on what he said he would do 285 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: versus what he's done, and and compare it to what 286 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: previous presidents have said and willing to promise they're going 287 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: to do, and whether or not they're going to deliver. 288 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: And if you think about it, there were kind of 289 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: three main lanes where he cut against the Republican grain 290 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: that made a lot of US pushed pulled back at 291 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: least initially. And it was on trade, it was on immigration, 292 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: and it was on foreign policy. And here he spent 293 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, a big focus of his time was renegotiating 294 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: trade deals and trying to bring manufacturing back, which he's done. 295 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: A big portion of his time has been I mean, 296 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna have four hundred miles of new or reconstructed 297 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: wall in the southern border. Imma, you can't. No one 298 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: can say he hasn't been focused on trying to build 299 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: a wall and and confront illegal immigration, which he's done. 300 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: And then foreign wars. I mean, here's a guy who 301 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: could have had every opportunity to start a new war 302 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: of expand the war. Instead he's gone strong in the 303 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: places where he needed to alt bag Daddy and Kasam Sulamani, 304 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: killing bad guys and sending clear signals, but will ultimatelyle 305 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: pulling all the troops out and not get pulled into 306 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: another foreign conflict, and instead has strengthened our allegiances with 307 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: people like Israel, so on the core stuff, and then 308 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: I mean, then you can just rattle down the list. 309 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Iran Deal, everything he's done in Israel, embassy, 310 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: all of those things, energy renaissance, unleashing at tax cuts, 311 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: all of it. You know, there's there's the three Supreme 312 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Court justices, which is why a lot of people voted 313 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: for him in the first place. And when you consider 314 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: what he's faced, and I think that's the giant asterix 315 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: on the whole thing is this is a guy who's 316 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: been beinged ill legitimate from the beginning by by the opposition, 317 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: who launched an investigation into him, which turned into a 318 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: mother report which led they didn't have anything, so they 319 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: created a Ukraine phone call and then they went with 320 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: impeachment and then they you know, they've been they've been 321 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: calling them every is um under the book for four 322 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: years and just kind of I mean, think about how 323 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: many people I think it was six year, seventy times 324 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Usman actually boycotted. Is it all youright? So, I mean, 325 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: this is not the other side that has ever embraced 326 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: in any real way the opportunity for him to have 327 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: a legitimate presidency from their view. So when you consider 328 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: what he's gotten done in light of that, it's stunning, really, 329 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: and I think that's why his enthusiasm is stronger today 330 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: amongst his base and others than before. It's because they're 331 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: looking at a politician that that he made, that talks 332 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: like them and disregards these sort of elites and just 333 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: says I'm gonna do what I said I was gonna do. 334 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: And you know, I dare you to tell me the 335 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: world's falling apart because and he doesn't. I think it's 336 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: so interesting. I don't want to ask you more about that. 337 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: But at first he is a word from our sponsor. 338 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he related at what you said. 339 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: It was absolutely correct. But I'm really intrigued by this. 340 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: What do you think President Trump can do better? People 341 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: often talk about is what he says on Twitter, And 342 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: sometimes my view is he'll do something really good. Well, 343 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: we can all cheer and say yeah the President, and 344 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: I say there's X, Y and Z, and then he'll 345 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: say something on Twitter which completely destroys the message. And 346 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: now it's about what he tweeted about X Y Z 347 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: person versus oh, this great legislative accomplishment. President Trump just 348 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: pushed forth yeah, I checked out of the Twitter critique 349 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: game on the president to three years ago. Like you, 350 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you're in order to 351 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: embrace that you love. It's not my job to critique 352 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: the ten or five percent that maybe it's not how 353 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: I would have said it. So I just let you 354 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: know there are entire networks that exist to be rabid 355 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: about this. Really, that's all they do is go nuts 356 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: and out of control on that. So I'd rather focus 357 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: on what he does and what he's what he's made happen. 358 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: I always also love to point you look at all 359 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: the critiques he'll get from people who were previous presidential 360 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: candidates or wanted to be presidential candidates, or and you 361 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: just got to look at him and say, well, the 362 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: guy he's the president, you're not. And he said that before. 363 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: And if you were so good at what you did, 364 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: then maybe you would be president, but you're not. So 365 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: we can always nitpick his approach like hey should be 366 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: should right now that the current moment is he shouldn't 367 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 1: be focusing on the Hunter Biden story because that's not 368 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: the best closing argument. The best closing argument in his 369 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: x y Z well we're about to find out. But 370 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that said he should have 371 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: bowed out of the campaign after the Billy Bush stuff. 372 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: In people that you know what I mean, like there' 373 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: He's always had naysayers who have said you can't do it, 374 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: or you're doing it the wrong way, and he's always 375 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: led with his gut. He said. It's famously he's got 376 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: the greatest brain, which is one of the most ways. Uh, 377 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: he's his own best advisor. And you you I love 378 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: him for the hyperbole, I love him for the everyday 379 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: talk and and you know what he means of what 380 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: he's saying. Haven't spent time with him privately too. He's 381 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: the same guy in public that he is in private, 382 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: with a true love for our country and working class 383 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: people that that that we should have. We should be 384 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: grateful that someone like that has that perspective. But know, 385 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: I just I'm out. I mean, I will be willing 386 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: to provide a critique if I think it's substantive and 387 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: it's something like. The one thing I would say is, 388 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he focused all that much on education 389 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: in his first term. Um, and I think I think 390 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: there's a lot more to be done there especially considering 391 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: how much the left is captured the curriculum and our 392 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: schools and school choice and all the things that that 393 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: could be done to lift future generations of all backgrounds 394 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: into the American dream. And he started to get into 395 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: it with the whole seventeen seventies six Commission, which will 396 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 1: look at promoting patriotism in our curriculum and look at 397 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: what our government schools are doing. So he's moving in 398 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: that direction. But that to me would be a big 399 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: second term effort. But yeah, you know, there's lots of 400 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: haters out there. He doesn't need another one. Let him 401 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: tweet and his ladies and gentlemen. You just saw media guru. 402 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: Now why do you make the big bugs? Yeah? Yeah, 403 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: So I wanna ask you about Joe Biden and Democrats agenda, 404 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: But before I do, ask you about what you think 405 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: about with fifty cents. Recently is said, and I'm gonna 406 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: read this kind of quoted is for folks who don't 407 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: know fifty cent. He's a rapper. He's been around since 408 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: the early two thousand. Pets. I can imagine a very 409 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: big fan of fifty cents. Listen to all this music. 410 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: Music gets in the club in the club. Notice, I said, 411 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: get his tapes? Like, how old am I? But you 412 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: are right, but fifty cents, I think we're about the 413 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: same age. How do you pete? We are? I'm okay, 414 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: thirty three. I consider everyone between thirty and the same age. 415 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, okay, so you're a little older than you. 416 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: So you like my big brother? Okay, got it. So 417 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read what fifty cents said on Instagram, but 418 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna read it word for word. It is 419 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: profanity laced. He said, what the f vote for Trump? 420 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm out f New York. The Knicks never win anyway, 421 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: don't care. Trump doesn't like black people. Six are you 422 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: out of your f in mind? Now? He's, of course 423 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: referring to Joe Biden's tax plan and how it was 424 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: fair in New York, and he says that he will 425 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: not be voting for Joe Biden, essentially vote for Trump 426 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: because he wants to keep his taxes low. Now, thinking 427 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: about that, and it's kind of funny, it's hilarious. But 428 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: he has a major following thing. He has almost thirty 429 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: million followers on Instagram, and if you just look at 430 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the numbers black men in terms of Trump supporters trending up. 431 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: When you look at the numbers, you see that African 432 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: American support has gone up since and when you look 433 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: at people like say a fifty cent ur an ice 434 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: Cube who have these major followings. An ice Cube hasn't 435 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: endorsed the president. He hasn't, but he's worked with him 436 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: and he said, hey, I gave the Democrats an opportunity. 437 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: They say they like it. We'll deal with it out 438 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: the election, which is the Democratic playbook. They have no 439 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: interest in really addressing systemic issues in the black community. 440 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: They say, hey, we're gonna leave it as an issue 441 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: so we can run on it again in four years. 442 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: That's been my experience, how as I have seen it 443 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: been in politics since I was fourteen years old, and 444 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: that's been the consistent thing. So not surprised there. But 445 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: how would you see their agenda because now they want 446 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: to raise Joe Biden is talking about he's gonna raise 447 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: taxes on people making four thousand dollars or more, which 448 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: we know is a complete lot because if you want 449 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: to take away the Trump tax cuts, everyone's impacted, So 450 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: you're raising taxes on everyone. How could you do that 451 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: in the middle of a pandemic. It makes no sense. 452 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: It makes absolutely no sense. I love what said. He's 453 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: right about the Knicks too, by the way, I just 454 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: wanted to win one time. John starts with a man 455 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: and he couldn't do it. But first of all, the 456 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: point you made at the end is precisely correct. The 457 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: whole thing is a shamp. Everyone's taxes are going to 458 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: go up, and to raise taxes on people in the 459 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: middle of this moment, I mean, it's it's it's exact, 460 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite of what needs to be done, 461 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: which is not government. I mean government, stimulus, find whatever 462 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: to bill. There's a debate going on and we're all 463 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: sick of it and they're never going to reach an 464 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: actual consensus. But if you open up, you create the 465 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: opportunity for people to actually make their own rational decisions, 466 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: uh and and about what they want to do with 467 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: their business and make the money that we're making before 468 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: and then the idea of keeping the tax cuts allows 469 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: them to keep more of their money. But if you're 470 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: gonna stay locked down, which Biden would want to do, 471 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: and raise people's taxes and lie to them about it 472 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: that it's only people over four thousand dollars. That is 473 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: political malpractice if I've ever seen it. But that none 474 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: of that matters right now because it's what do voters 475 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: perceive to be true. And when you see someone like 476 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: come out, who no one would describe as a consistent 477 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Republican trupporter, but he's a capitalist exactly, come out and 478 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: say is this a joke? Like I'm going to take 479 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: a thirty eight cents home of every dollar that I 480 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: work hard to make in Joe Biden's America. I think 481 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: that will perk a few more people up. And and 482 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't love the dismissive part 483 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: of what he said about even if Donald Trump doesn't 484 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: like black people and all that. I mean, there's narratives 485 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: out there and that I think it was a throwaway line. Yes, 486 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: I think it was. It was to avoid the the 487 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: avalanche of what comes. It was a throwaway line. I 488 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: think more people than than than Democrats or media types 489 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: would admit, are inclined to take a look at Trump 490 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: because he wants to allow people to succeed, keep their money, 491 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: and he has kept the promises to the black community 492 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: that he said he would in ways that Barack Obama 493 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: hadn't took for granted and I and it's just whether 494 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: or not that information gets to two voters who are 495 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: are are prepared to receive it and and not be 496 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: deceived by the way the left always frames it. As 497 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: you talked about. Yeah, President Trump said in what do 498 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: you have to lose? And I say, what do you 499 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: have to gain? And we can talk about the policies 500 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: as we we often do. Next question for you, and 501 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: you're switching gears a little bit. Joe Biden's allies often 502 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: portray him as a moderate, in many conservatives fear he's 503 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: just a phase being used by the far and left 504 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: to push their agenda. Bernie even said in August that 505 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: Biden will become the most progressive president since Franklin Delanois Roosevelt. 506 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on how moderate radical Biden is? Uh, 507 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: it's almost irrelevant of how moderate or or extreme he 508 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: is because he's surrounded by effectively the ecosystem of Bernie 509 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: Sanders and Comrade Cortez. I mean that that is the 510 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: heart and soul of the modern Democrat Party. Sure, Joe Biden, 511 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: former full moderate but never really was, was always a 512 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: reliable left wing Democrat, but not a socialist crazy type. 513 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: He's ahead a top of the ticket, just like Nancy Pelosi, 514 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: who has always been a leftist but was never sort 515 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: of a socialist. She's got the votes in the House 516 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: of Representatives, but she doesn't have the energy, she doesn't 517 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: have the soul, and she's always catering further and further left. 518 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: And again, when you're saying Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco liberal 519 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: is the old vanguard and the moderate democratic scary place. 520 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: And that's effectively what I'm kind of saying. Uh, the 521 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: whole wave behind these old timers is, you know, at best, 522 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: foes socialism, at worst real full on socialism, and and 523 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: a loathing of the American of American history, of the 524 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: American system, and and the belief that America is a 525 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: good country. It's it is um sort of sixteen nineteen 526 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: Verses seventeen seventy six in that in the framing of 527 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: what America represents and whether we're a good country. And 528 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: so I just Joe, if Joe Biden were to win, 529 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: no one, no one believes that he has the acumen 530 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: to actually be the driver of his agenda. And he's 531 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: going to look to the places where there's energy and activism. 532 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: And I think you would see his cabinet full of 533 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 1: people with radical left wing ideas, and he is just 534 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: being who he needs to be at the moment to 535 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't tick off the Bernie folks enough 536 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: or turn off Pennsylvania voters enough. And that's why he 537 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: won't answer honestly about fracking and why he's been on 538 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: both sides. That's why he won't honest or answer honestly 539 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: unpacking the quarter adding justices because he can't. He's balancing 540 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: between two worlds that no longer exist together anymore. That 541 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: swing voter in Pennsylvania has very little in common with 542 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: the socialists on the far left who are driving the 543 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: national agenda. He knows that so and that's part of 544 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: the reason why he's, you know, used COVID as an 545 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to do even less campaigning than he did before. 546 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: It's because what are you going to say and which 547 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: voters are you speaking to? And they're hoping it's just 548 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: a referendum on Donald Trump. And I think that's that's 549 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: just a dangerous strategy. You know, sports like how early 550 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: do you go into the four corners offense? And and 551 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: just start passing the ball, hoping you can hold onto 552 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: a lead when the other guy's president and presson and 553 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: Presston and there is there's still time on the clock. 554 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's Donald Trump is going swing state 555 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: at your swing state, at your swing state, you know, 556 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: daring voters to vote against him, and with an understanding 557 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: of meaning, this is who the left would be for 558 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: your life. You really want that, even if you don't 559 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: love every aspect about me. I'd rather be in his 560 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: position than sort of pretending to be two different things, 561 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: of which I am neither and really not portraying a 562 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: public image. But the advantage that that Biden has is 563 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: that the media will cover form and I don't I 564 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: don't think you can underestimate except for podcasts like this 565 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: Rush Limball and the Fox News Channel, everybody else is 566 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: in the tank for Joe Biden in in not just 567 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: in a biased way, but in an agenda way, and 568 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: and that that has an impact. But thankfully, because we're 569 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 1: the types of folks that believe in individuals who can 570 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: think for themselves and don't think people in fly over 571 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: America are dumb and and deplorable. I think they. I 572 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: think they see through it, and I think they recognize 573 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 1: that there's only one side of the spectrum that reflects 574 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: their values. Right now, I hope, well, here it out loud, 575 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, called well with the sworn enemy of PC culture. 576 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: So I think for that commercial you just gave us, 577 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: thank you. What'll we be doing that? We need to 578 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: take a break now to pay some bills up Next, 579 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: I want to analyze the current state of the election 580 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: and how mail and voting may throw the process into champions. 581 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: But first here's a word for my sponsor. So let's 582 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: get into the state of the presidential election. Most posts 583 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: have to consistently hit Joe Boden had the President Trump, 584 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: and conventional wisdom says that Biden will win. But you 585 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: recently tweeted the following polls don't vote, which is something 586 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: that I always say, post don't vote, people do. So 587 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: I think you got that. That's okay, we can chat, 588 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: we can share, please do. Posters, pundits and group thinkers 589 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: and GOP frauds are in for an even bigger shock 590 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: than in. President Trump's supporting enthusiasm is stronger than ever 591 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: before and broader. His supporters will walk over glass to 592 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: vote for him. In drows. As you said earlier before, 593 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: do you think President Trump is going to win? Like 594 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: a hundred of said he's going to win, would you 595 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: put it, put your house. I would put my house 596 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, I would, and not in a sort 597 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: of flippantly on the Trump supporter. Therefore, I have to 598 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: predict that he will win, otherwise I'll get backlash in 599 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: a in a very real electoral vote, win that looks 600 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: a lot like the last looks a lot like four 601 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 1: years ago, and a lot of it's because I've had 602 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: a chance to travel the country for Fox and Friends, 603 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: a small towns, big town, suburb cities, farm towns, and 604 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like enthusiasm. I thought I'd never 605 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: seen anything like I saw in until you see now, 606 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: and and and and and. As you alluded to, it's 607 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: not just the traditional folks in outstate areas of the 608 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: country that are read that are very enthusiastic about Trump. 609 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: If you go to a Trump rally, you find the 610 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: people there are are former Democrats or Democrats. It's a 611 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: far more diverse crowd, racially diverse than that a lot 612 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: of people would admit or or anticipate when you go 613 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: to an event like that, so I actually think he 614 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: has stronger support across different constituencies. And it's not going 615 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: to be a majority, but you don't need a majority 616 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: of certain groups in order to put a coalition together 617 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: in order to win. And I just the changes to 618 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: the methodology that would have been needed to find hidden 619 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: Trump supporters. For whatever reason, we're not made and and 620 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: I and are not reflective of where we are today. 621 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: Now I say all that the reason I love Election night, 622 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: this is honest. I love it because it's rarely in 623 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: life do you find moments that are both completely unpredictable 624 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: and consequential. Like you know, sports is unpredictable, right, you 625 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: don't know who he's gonna win on any given Sunday, 626 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: But it's not consequential. Who cares you turn it off? 627 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: Your life doesn't change. But or like being a school teacher, 628 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: that's very consequential but more or less predictable. You know 629 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: what your school day is, who your students are, You're 630 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: doing your thing. How often do we get moments that 631 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: are both completely consequential and completely really unpredictable. And that 632 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: is you know, it's either election night or combat basically, 633 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: and and and having seen a little bit of the ladder. 634 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: You know, I'll pass on that for now. Election night 635 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: is is one of those moments where we're just all 636 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: going to sit back and go, this could go anyway, 637 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: and we we have. I mean, the polls have been 638 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: so off. I mean, I could wake up on November 639 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: four and suddenly Joe Biden won by seven points and 640 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: I didn't see it coming, and I didn't understand the 641 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: electorate and the polls were actually right, and you know, 642 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm on my face, but I don't see that happening. 643 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: I really really don't. But it's gonna be a long 644 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: election night, and it's gonna be a long a few 645 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: days after that with the way the accounting votes. And 646 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: there is a legitimate fear from folks like me that 647 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: um that, you know, localized fraud could be a component. 648 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: We saw it in Minneapolis, where I'm from the home 649 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: state of Minnesota, ballot harvesting and things like that. So 650 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: I think the Trump campaign is prepared to take stuff 651 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: like that on UM. But I'm I'm very, very hopeful, 652 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: And to me that it tells me a lot about 653 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: the American people that can cut through all that the 654 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: media has tried to do to them. And can still 655 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: change to stay true to themselves. We'll see. So, you know, 656 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: the thinking of that hitting Trump voter just in terms 657 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: of the polls. So the polls were wrong for the 658 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: reason that they only polled people who voted in the 659 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: last two elections previously, and Trump clearly brought up people 660 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: who hadn't voted ever or in generation, so they they 661 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't have seen those folks coming. Now those same folks 662 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: have voted. Possibly they've been pulled. Of course, we've seen 663 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: over sampling of Democrats and and a lot of these 664 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: polls and you look for the cross taps and you're like, Okay, 665 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: this doesn't make a lot of sense. Clearly we see that. 666 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: But do you think that there's some other Trump voters 667 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: out there that perhaps said, like, maybe this is a 668 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: gimmick what this guy is talking about. Some people obviously 669 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: believe that. Others were like maybe not, and then they 670 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: saw how he performed as president and they're like, maybe 671 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna go out and vote and I haven't 672 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: voted forever. So there's that hitting Trump vote. Do you 673 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: think that there's a large hidden Trump dancial hidden Trump vote. 674 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: I I think for all the reasons you decided still exists. 675 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: In large part there is an oversampling of Democrats that 676 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: I still can't seem to figure out, especially in light 677 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: of the fact that Republicans have been actively registering Republicans 678 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: in swing states and Democrats have not over the last year. 679 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: I also think there's this new layer of absolute and 680 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: complete life destruction and cancel culture where just any open 681 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: mean the amount of people that come up to me 682 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: and say, I'm I am a a strong Trump supporter, 683 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: but I can't tell anyone at where I work, or 684 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: I run a business and I could never admit that, 685 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: or I run a small prepare shop and I can't 686 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: put it out there because people would come after me. 687 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: And can you imagine them wanting to talk to some 688 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: anonymous person on a phone call and tell them who 689 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: they support. I think, And I've got anecdote after anecdote 690 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: of people telling me, Hey, I get those phone calls 691 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: and I tell them either nothing, or I tell them 692 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: I support Biden, or you know, I mean, you don't 693 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: half answer a polster honestly, if you don't want to 694 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,959 Speaker 1: um what that percentages, what that delta is, I don't, 695 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't know it's I don't want to say, it's 696 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: almost inconsequential. It's interesting. Trends in polls are interesting over time. 697 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: And yes, we've seen the gap wideen we're seeing a 698 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: shrink a little bit more right now. But if you 699 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: look at where the real clear politics average was for 700 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Michigan, UM, 701 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was behind substantially UM. And if he's anywhere 702 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: near that so called um the margin, meaning if he's 703 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: even anywhere near that far behind on election Day, the 704 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: chances of him making that up with hidden Trump voters 705 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: is very, very strong. And enthusiasm matters, to the point 706 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: of that tweet, a hugely huge. I mean, Elizabeth Warren 707 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,959 Speaker 1: had an event in Minnesota a week ago. A friend 708 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: of mine shot me a photo and it's been all 709 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: over social media. She had eight people there, six of 710 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: which you're a voting age, Okay, there were I mean, 711 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: there's absolutely nobody there. And when you go to somewhere 712 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: like Tucson or other places in Arizona that are effectively 713 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: bluish areas, and there are miles and miles of lines 714 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: of thousands and thousands of people just waiting to see 715 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: the president in the motorcade. I don't think we're going 716 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: to have a question as to whether those people vote. 717 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: If you're willing to stand in a line for an 718 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: hour just to see the man, I feel like you'd 719 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: be willing to spend it, stay in the line for 720 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: a few hours to vote for the man. And but 721 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: but what I don't know is how much Democrats are 722 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: will you know, there's a real and there's a lot 723 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: of anti Trump hatreot out there that is not Joe 724 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: Biden enthusiasm, but they see their their Trump hatriot him 725 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 1: as the vessel for that. And how much that enthusiasm 726 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: will translate into votes, we'll see. But I knew if 727 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: I was a Democrat, I'd be less than enthused about 728 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden ticket, unless I believe he'd just be 729 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: a placeholder for Kamala Harris and Answer Pelosi and Comrade Cortez, 730 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: which you know a lot of us feel that he 731 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: would be. You know, I didn't. I wrote this in 732 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: a book Taking for Granted, which you thankfully supported. Taking 733 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: for Granted. How conservativesm can go back to Americans that 734 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: liberalism failed. There's so many people who are afraid to 735 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: speak up about their politics. I was just in l 736 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: A recently and a guy walked up to me on 737 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: the street and he was telling me how much he 738 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: supports President Trump and he doesn't believe that he's a 739 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: racist because he knew him personally way back when. And 740 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: you continue to hear stories like that story after story. 741 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: Herschel Walker, who was our first guest on Outline with Gianno, 742 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: called Wilder encourage people listened to the episode. He talked 743 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: about how the relationship he hit with Donald Trump and 744 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: how he doesn't believe him to be a racist because 745 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: he knows him, and it's kind of hard for those 746 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: who rappers who've hung out with him and entertainers, How 747 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: could you be with a racist for years and years 748 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: and years. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. 749 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: So there is definitely a lot of people who are 750 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: afraid to um speak up, and now here's an opportunity 751 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: for them to do it. A commercial Walker at the 752 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: r n C was one of the more powerful things 753 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I mean and I talking about a 754 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: guy who has not been overtly political his entire life, 755 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: but almost feels obligated to come out and talk about 756 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: a personal friend who he's seen for decades. Uh, and 757 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: just be honest about it. That kind of stuff is powerful. 758 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: I hope person's back on the trail for the last 759 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: couple of weeks share in that same message. I think 760 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: it would it would continue to resonate. I loved it. Yeah, 761 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: I agree with you, And check out the episode on 762 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: Allow with Channel called while He laid some some real gems. 763 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: You have a new book coming out November twenty fourth 764 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: titled Modern Warriors, Real Stories from Real Heroes. In a book, 765 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: you tell inspiring stories of fifteen American heroes from across 766 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: the military, service members who earned some of our militaries 767 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: highest honors. Why did you decide to write this book? Why? Now, 768 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: the guys and gals that we interviewed for this book 769 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: are just absolutely incredible. Not because of you know, Medal 770 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: of Honor recipients, Silver Stars, Bronze Stars with Valor, Navy Seals, 771 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: Army Rangers, Green Berets, fighter pilots, all of which saw 772 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: substantial combat since nine eleven and and we've been doing 773 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: a show on Fox Nation called Modern Warriors, and it's 774 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: a it's a it's a repeating series and it came 775 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: about because, you know, on Fox and Friends, we do 776 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: a segment here, a segment there with a VET, and 777 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: just when you got to the meat of the issue, 778 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: it'd be time to wrap for commercial break. And that 779 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: just the nature of you know, how it goes, nature 780 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: of television. Three and a half minutes, four minutes, and 781 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: I just felt you would always get the responsive I 782 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: want to hear more so, and the most fascinating conversations 783 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: you can ever have with vets is when you're sitting 784 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: at the bar having beers, telling the real deal story 785 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: and they start revealing the details and and what did 786 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: it smell like? And how did I really feel? That's 787 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: what I think folks want to hear more of. So 788 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: we we put together Modern Warriors where we're just sitting 789 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: around a table having drinks talking about you know, I'm 790 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: the moderator, but my job is to kind of fade 791 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: away and let these you know, the guy that chump 792 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: in Loudon and the lone survivor and and this Army 793 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: ranger and Medal of Honor recipient, and then just rank 794 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: and file guys as well, share their experiences and talk 795 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: about you know, and then we get into oftentimes, you know, 796 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,879 Speaker 1: what's happening in politics what's happening in our culture? Should 797 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: we still be in the wars? Were engaged in Rules 798 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: of Age men all stuff like that. I mean, it 799 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: became clear, Hey, this is something we could we could 800 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: do in a more permanent sense with a book. And 801 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: so we reached out to a bunch of the people 802 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: who've been part of the episodes. Um, they were willing 803 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: to sit down for interviews. And what's different about the 804 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: book is it's really in their own words. It's meant 805 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: to be the similar format, Like you're hearing them talk 806 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: about their combat experiences and then transitioning back home. And 807 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: these are the real one percent in America who have 808 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: done so much more than than than any of us have. 809 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: And it's it's a cool compilation stories. And and we 810 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: just filmed actually another episode of Modern Warriors with Air 811 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: on the Channel around Veterans Day, and we went to 812 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: a range down in Texas and just shotguns in competition. 813 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: And I won't I won't spoil it, but you can't. 814 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: I was against two Army Rangers, Navy seal and a 815 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: Marine Corps gun not.
