1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Here is our toll 3 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: free telephone number. It's eight hundred and ninety four to 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: one Sean if you want to be a part of 5 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: the program. 6 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: A lot a lot of. 7 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: People don't really know what happened in this special election 8 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: for what was George Santos's seat, which happened to be 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: my old congressional district when I lived in New York, 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: which I've not been back in that district since, you know, 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: before before the end of last year, so I've not 12 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: been there in a long time. 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: But I know the district. 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: I know it well, and we had on the program 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: mas Eve pill up. It's interesting because polls showed that, 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: you know, she had been closing, that it was a 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: three or four point race, but that's not what happened yesterday. 18 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: It ended up being pretty much a blowout. And why 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: am I bringing this up? Why am I starting the 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: program with a local New York congressional race to fill 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: a seat of an idiot that you know, shouldn't have 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: been elected in the first place. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: I was not pretty much not vetted. 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: And but with all that said and done, this is 25 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: what we can learn from this one runoff election. Runoff elections, 26 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: it's hard to put a lot of weight behind them 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: because there's so many odd things that can happen. Turnout 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: usually is a lot lower in an off year election, 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: or it's not even an election season, and it's just 30 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: not the time people used to voting. So you can 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: factor all of that in, but that does not negate 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: the following. Now, I will concede up front that it 33 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: is a Democratic plus eight district. It's been redrawn. You know, 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: it's crazy parts of the middle of Long Island, and 35 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: like Massapequa, I was on the north shore of Long 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: Island at the time, and that would be parts of 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: the north shore of Long Island up through Glen Cove 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: into parts of Queens parts of Great Neck, which is 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: still I believe Nassau County anyway, So you can look 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: at this and you can say, okay, what happened here. Now, 41 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: the first thing I would say is the Santos issue 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: probably played a part in some people's minds thinking, Okay, 43 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: we tried a Republican I didn't work out. But here's 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the bigger issue in all of this. And you had 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: an election eve poll of likely voters, some of whom 46 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: already had cast their ballots, showed the race was pretty 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: much a dead heat. It didn't turn out this way. 48 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: There was and this is where Republicans better learn their lesson. 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: There's a lesson to be learned here. Yesterday that a 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: huge snowstorm in Long Island. I wouldn't say huge, I 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: guess most people I spoke to five six inches something 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: in that neighborhood within the district around that much anyway, 53 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: So you have on election day a massive snowstorm that 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: made it difficult for a lot of especially older people 55 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: that tend to vote in special elections, to show up 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: at the polls. That became a heavy for a lot 57 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: of people. Now what made the difference? Why did this 58 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: then become pretty much a blowout? Now, first thing I'll 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: tell you about about Swazi is he is a well 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: known entity. He was the Nassau County Republican head for 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: a long time chairman and that is the head of 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the entire county. But remember Long Island has been trending 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: very red in recent years because of Albany and Joe Biden, etc. 64 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: If it wasn't for if it wasn't for New York 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: congressional seats in California congressional seats, Republicans wouldn't have control 66 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: of the House. That's how important it is. There were 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: a lot of districts that Biden won in twenty twenty 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: that Republicans picked up in twenty twenty two. Anyway, he 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: is a pretty slick politician, well known politician personally. 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: I've met him, know him. 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't know him well, but nice guy if you 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: meet him, I mean, but very well known in the district. 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: He had previously served three terms in Congress in this 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: very district, albeit it's since been redrawn. He left his 75 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: seat to run for governor right previously Nasau County executive. 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: He has name recognition through the roof. There's nobody that 77 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: really doesn't know him. And until this election cycle, I 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: frankly had not heard of Mazzi Pillup. We put her 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: on the show, see we can give her a chance 80 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: to win. A lot of friends of mine cared a 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: lot about the race, and with the small margin of 82 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: majority that the Republicans have on the House, they can 83 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: ill afford to lose that seat. Now, what I had 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: told the New York delegation when I met some of 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: them at the town hall that I did with the 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: new speaker at the time, Speaker Johnson. I brought this 87 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: subject up with them unsolicited, and I said, guys, unless 88 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: somebody's convicted, I don't think you should be in the 89 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: business of rushing to judgment, and especially with the limited 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: margin you have, kicking out a reliable Republican vote that 91 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: would have been Santos. 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. 93 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about Santos, to be honest, but 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: put that aside. Also, so there's a well known guy, 95 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: and Santos had won Nassau County by ten I think 96 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: last time I looked at the numbers before I got 97 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: disgusted and just tuned it out. You know, Mazi Phillips 98 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: I think was down by something like nineteen. I don't 99 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: know what the final numbers are. 100 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: Now. 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: First of all, big mistake. The Democrats outspent Republicans dramatically. 102 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: Now some people are saying two to one. I'm told 103 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: by other people closer to eight to one. They had 104 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: a huge early get out the vote ground game, and 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, it should not have been this big a blowout. However, 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: this is what I keep saying. Now here's the thing, 107 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: So the snowstorm shows up on election day. That impacts 108 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: Republicans that tend to want to vote on election day. 109 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: There's been a reluctance and a resistance, and I've talked 110 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: about it exhaustively on this program for Conservatives and Republicans 111 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: to vote by mail and vote early. In my new 112 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: home state of Florida. They do it. They do it perfectly. 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: I mean, most people vote by mail, most people vote early, 114 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: and they count those votes on before the election and 115 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: they're all tabulated. They are partisan observers watching the vote count, 116 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. All of this has happened and 117 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: they've kind of mastered it. So what is the lesson here? 118 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: What made the difference? Swazi himself attributed his victory to 119 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats early voting push, which already banked thousands of 120 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: his votes. Mazi pill up voters struggled to get to 121 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: the polls on a snowy day, and Swazi said Republicans 122 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: often vote in the morning and Democrats vote in the afternoon. 123 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: He said predicting the storm was a good sign for 124 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: his campaign. The storm depressed early voting today, no doubt 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: about it. And you know, former Republican Senator al Vons 126 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: Tomato said, and NASO accounting nearly seventy thousand people voted 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: during the nine days of early voting or mailed in 128 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: absentee ballots. I'm ineligible to vote in the was ineligible 129 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: because I've I've now registered in Florida and handed a 130 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: letter in saying I'm no longer take me off the 131 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: voter rolls in New York. But anyway, thousands more Democrats 132 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: than Republicans turned out for early voting. 133 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: What have I been saying? 134 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: The Republican Party and Conservatives and Republicans, you need to 135 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: get this through your heads. You better understand. This is 136 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: the system that we have. It's not the system I want. 137 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: It's not the system I like. It's not the system 138 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: that I believe has the most integrity that results in 139 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: confidence and the results. 140 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: But it is the system we have. 141 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: I'd prefer paper ballots, election day and national holiday, same 142 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: day voting for everybody, with the exception exception of the military, 143 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: elderly infirmed, etc. 144 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: That's it. 145 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: But Democrats, they have focused hundreds of millions of dollars 146 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: on early and mail in voting, and they are kicking 147 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Republicans ass left and right. By taking advantage of the 148 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: system they want. Now you would also need measures which 149 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: they don't have in New York, like voter ID and 150 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, and 151 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: partisan observers watching the vote count all day long and 152 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: after the polls close, watch the voting all day, the 153 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: vote counting all night. 154 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: That's what has to happen. 155 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: You know, they need to raise and spend more money 156 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: in every single race, and they need to match the 157 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Democrats dollar for dollar. They've got to match their early 158 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: voting and voting by mail efforts to a te Republican voters, 159 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: conservative voters need to rethink the system. If you've been reluctant, 160 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: if you've been resistant, I kind of share your hesitancy. However, 161 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: it is not smart to wait for election day and 162 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: expect to win, and expect that you're going to make 163 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: up what ultimately is in a case of a congressional race, thousands, 164 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: maybe tens of thousands of votes, depending or in the 165 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: case of a state race or a federal race you're 166 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: talking about. You know, this election cycle, we may have 167 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: a race for president two hundred and sixty four days 168 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: where six states and one hundred thousand or a couple 169 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand votes make up the entire difference. Now here's 170 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: another problem that there's no ballot harvesting efforts. Republicans need 171 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: to match the Democrats' efforts and hopefully surpass their their 172 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting efforts. 173 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: Legal ballot harvesting. 174 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Now, the other thing is is they've got to recruit 175 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: better candidates. I don't know if many of you knew this. 176 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: I knew it, But up until this race, we know 177 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: that Mazi Pillup was a Democrat. 178 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: Linda, did you know that? Most people didn't know that. 179 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: I only know it because I knew the posters. 180 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So Swazi's Republican opponent was until recently a Kennedy. 181 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: She's got a great life story. But I lived in 182 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: the district. 183 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: I never heard of her until this race, and I 184 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: think they were better well known, more well known people 185 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: that could have run that would have been more formidable 186 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: in this particular case. 187 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: There's a lesson to be learned here. 188 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how many more times I have to 189 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: repeat myself, but this is what can happen if you 190 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: don't bank your vote. That's what the RNC has called 191 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: it now, at least the Republicans are attempting and have attempted. 192 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: At least Ronald McDaniel did. And again, I guess she's 193 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: not going to be the chairman anymore. But they better 194 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: double down on these efforts. They better invest the money 195 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: into early voting efforts. They better invest money into partisan 196 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: observers watching the voting all day, the vote counting all night. 197 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: They better match and hopefully surpass this whole ballot harvesting, 198 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: legal ballot harvesting effort that the Democrats are involved in. 199 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: You know, Democrats, you know in this particular case, I'll 200 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: tell you they've learned a lot. These negative abortion ads 201 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: were brutal towards as a pill up. And I'll tell 202 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: you right now, every single Republican what did I say 203 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year January second, coming back 204 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: from my long vacation of the year, I said, let 205 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: me tell you how this year is going to play out. 206 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: They're going to run on Trump. Trump. 207 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Trump is evil, evil, evil. They're going to focus on 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: January sixth, They're going to focus on democracy in peril. Meanwhile, 209 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: they try to kick everybody off the ballot, and they 210 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: are going to focus on on these election items that 211 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm mentioning to you, and that, of course then they'll 212 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: use the old playbook Republicans of racist, sexist, etc. Things 213 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: I've told you over and over again. You know, so 214 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: according and in this case, the number one issue we've 215 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: seen out of New Hampshire and Iowa is the issue 216 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: of immigration. So what was Swazi's position on immigration? A 217 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: guy that said he's one hundred percent with Joe Biden 218 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: on these issues, well, that would have been a big liability. 219 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: But what was his solution to push a false claim 220 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: that it's the Democratic Party that they're the ones that 221 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: actually want to control the border. Meanwhile, they've told us 222 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: for three years that the border is secure and the 223 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: borders closed. Now they're saying it's not our fault. May 224 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: Orcis is saying before he was impeached yesterday, we'll get 225 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: to that. And you know Joe Biden saying there's nothing 226 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: left for me to do, well, actually that's a lie. 227 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: He could just he did rescind all the Trump policies 228 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: that were working, and with the stroke of a penn 229 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: he can implement them once again. Senator Chris Murphy was 230 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: urging Democrats to go on offense on the border and immigration. 231 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: In a memo on Wednesday to party members, citing New 232 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: York Democrat Tom Swazi's victory in this special election, They're 233 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: going to go in hard with everything that I told 234 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: you on January tewond they were going to run on Now. 235 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: I can keep repeating myself and Republicans cannot listen and 236 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: keep losing. But they lose to the detriment of the 237 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: country because Joe Biden and liberal you know, radical democratic 238 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: climate alarmist religious cultists, their policies of wide open borders 239 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: is going to end up being the biggest national security 240 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: debacle in history. 241 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: We see the. 242 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: Damage, the real damage they have caused to our economy. 243 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: We see what they've done to energy in this country. 244 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: We see the billions of dollars being wasted, thrown down 245 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: the tubes by pushing their you know, radical climate agenda 246 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: and electric vehicles that Americans have shown over and over 247 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: again that they don't want. And that's going to be 248 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: the predictable result. Or you can get your apps, you 249 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: can get your ADAM shift together, and you can go 250 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: out there and you can now implement changes. And that 251 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: means that people have to change too, and you've got 252 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: to adapt to the times we're living in now. If 253 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: you elect enough Republicans, I do have some good news, 254 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: and the good news is simply, they can change election laws, 255 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: and they can make paper ballots the law of the land. 256 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: They can insist on voter ID signature verification, the other 257 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: things that I mentioned. They can push early voting, voting 258 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: by mail, and bring integrity to the system. But they 259 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: can you know, we can add we could do all 260 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: of these things, but you got to win the elections first. 261 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: And the system we have is the one we're stuck with. 262 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: It's not the one you wish you had. That's the 263 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: message that I think Republicans need to learn from this. 264 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: Democrats will lie about abortion. They're going to demagogue abortion, 265 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: They're going to demagogue the border. They're actually going to 266 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: make the case it's not Joe Biden's fault, not our 267 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: it's Republican's fault. 268 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: They didn't support the bill. 269 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: No Republicans said they're not going to support a bill 270 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: that gives after we've given seventy five billion dollars to Ukraine, 271 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: that gives them another sixty some odd billion more dollars 272 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: before they secure the border. First they're insisting on it. 273 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: They have the right position, but they got to sell 274 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: and Republicans better get their adam shift together on the 275 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: issue of abortion and have a clear message. And whether 276 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: you're a pro life and believe in the sanctity of 277 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: life or not. I'm telling you that the politically, the 278 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: country is not agreeing with you. We've seen that an 279 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: election after election, the country seems to be around twelve 280 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: first trimester or the Dobbs decision fifteen weeks. That's the reality, 281 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: a truth that maybe some of you don't want to hear, 282 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: but it's the truth, all right. I want to deal 283 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: with something that just I find lying infuriating. You know, 284 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: It's like if your kids get in trouble. We've talked 285 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: about this before. You know, did you have cookies? 286 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 4: No? 287 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have any chocolate chip cookies at all. Meanwhile, 288 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: the chocolate chip cookies all over their face. You're more 289 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: mad that they had the cookie that you told them 290 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: not to have, or you're mad that they lie about it. 291 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure Liam has never done anything like that, right, 292 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: Linda to you? 293 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: Not one time? 294 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: Oh never? 295 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: Oh come on. 296 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, my children are honest. They know, they know 297 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: very clearly that if they lie, it'll be far worse 298 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: than anything else they could do. 299 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: All right, but they had to learn at some point. 300 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: They probably learned the hard way, did they not. 301 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: I mean, we've definitely had conversations from time to time 302 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: where I have said to them, listen, this is a moment, 303 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: this is a choice. Don't do this. 304 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a start a start. 305 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: And so anyway, so we have this big vote in 306 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: the Senate and what was it twenty two Republicans. It 307 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: is about Ukrainian aid and what they didn't include in 308 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: this bill, which originally they were going to include, and 309 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: that was the compromise put together by Senator to Langford, 310 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: and the compromise unfortunately did not meet the goal of 311 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: actually securing our border. Now the Republicans have a bill, 312 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: it's Hr. Two, it's called the Secure Border Act. They've 313 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: already passed it. And all the Senate Republicans needed to 314 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: do was to say, no, we don't need James Langford 315 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: to basically put in provisions that would allow at any 316 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: time Biden and the likes of Majorcus to do whatever 317 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: the hell they want. It's at their quote discretion. Never 318 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: mind the absolute total numbers of people that would be 319 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: allowed in even if they reached the maximum of five 320 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: thousand illegal immigrants in a day, and we're well above 321 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: that now when it continues to be that way, and 322 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: it just infuriates me that now they have demagogue this 323 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: issue into Joe Biden telling Republicans you must reject Trump's dangerous, 324 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: un American pro putent stance on Ukraine. Now, if I 325 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: were to come on this radio program, let's just say, 326 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: I think Joe Biden's border policies are un American, and 327 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: it's pro Putin. It's pro Chi, it's pro the Mullas 328 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: in Iran. It's pro General l CC, not of Mexico 329 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: but of Egypt. It's pro Afghanistan and the Taliban, because 330 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: that's where a lot of these illegal immigrants are coming from. Now, 331 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: if I said that, I bet a lot of people 332 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: in the media would would be saying, oh my gosh, 333 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: Hannity's now accusing Joe Biden of being an American, and 334 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: they'd make a big deal about I don't go around 335 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: calling people an American. 336 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: I just don't have different points of view. You know. 337 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: I think they're nuts, but I'm not impugning their patriotism. 338 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: But that's what Joe Biden does here, and it's predicated 339 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: on a massive lie. And the lie is is that 340 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: Republicans they don't want to help out Ukraine because Republicans 341 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: they were insisting on American first policies. What Joe Biden 342 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: has done at our southern border has become the single 343 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: largest national security threat that we are facing since the 344 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: Cold War. We have nearly ten million illegal Joe Biden 345 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: immigrants that have crossed into this country unvetted. And they're 346 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: coming from the countries that I mentioned. Syria, Iran, you know, 347 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: around the number one state sponsor of terror, Syria, their 348 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: puppet regime. You know, They're coming from Egypt, thousands of them, 349 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, the home of the Muslim Brotherhood. They're coming 350 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, home of al Qaeda. They're coming from our 351 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: number one geopolitical foe, that would be China. You know, 352 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: last count I saw was over thirty seven thousand recently. 353 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, you got to be kidding me. You know, 354 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: tens of thousands from Russia. Why are Russian showing up 355 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: at our southern border? Why are Iranian showing up there? 356 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: Why are the communist Chinese showing up there? Do you 357 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: think they're all coming here because maybe, like people from 358 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: Mexico or Latin America that want a better life for 359 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: themselves and their family, they'd take this perilous, dangerous journey 360 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: dealing with the human traffickers and the cartels. You think 361 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: they're taking all these risks with their life. A lot 362 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: of them, probably the vast overwhelming majority, just want a 363 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: better life opportunity for themselves and their family, opportunities that 364 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: we take for granted that don't exist where they live. Okay, 365 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: I'm not believing that about the people from these other countries, 366 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: and that then becomes where the national security issue kicks in. 367 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: You have the top brass FBI retired. I mean, you're 368 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: talking about the top positions in the FBI calling this 369 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: an invasion of military age men, and I have said, 370 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: and I stand by it, it's not. It's not if 371 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: it's when this country is going to be attacked internally 372 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: by these unvetted illegal immigrants, some from some of our 373 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: top geopolitical foests, that is going to happen. 374 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong. 375 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong, and I think we're going 376 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: to pay a very dear price for this now the 377 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: issue involving the I think Putin is a thug. I 378 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: think he's a dictator. I think he's a murderer, and 379 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: history is that out. I think he has slaughtered innocent men, 380 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: women and children, and he's targeted them. 381 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 2: That's who he is. 382 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: But am I infuriated by the fact that America has 383 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: done the bulk of heavy lifting helping Ukraine that's not 384 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: even a part of NATO, when the continent of Europe, 385 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: that's their continent, and European countries as per usual, have 386 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: not paid their fair share. 387 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that infuriates me too. 388 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: But it infuriates me that Joe Biden is lying and 389 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats are lying. They lie when they say it 390 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: said to us for three years, the border is secure, 391 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: the border is closed. Now they're saying Joe Biden is saying, well, 392 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: I've done everything I can do. You know, I don't 393 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: know why they won't help me. Well, you didn't do 394 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: everything you can do. You undid every policy that was 395 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: working with the stroke of a pen, and you can 396 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: bring back those policies with the stroke of a pet 397 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, or may Orcus now you know he's changing 398 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: his tune all of a sudden, Alejandro Majorcus has found 399 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: religions on the issue of our border, and he's now 400 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: claiming that we don't bear responsibility for the broken system. 401 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: This is the guy that's been telling us the borders closed, 402 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: the border's secure. 403 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: I don't like being lied to. 404 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: I don't like the lie that they're telling the American people, 405 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Republicans they're responsible for the border. 406 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: No, that's a lie. 407 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: And you know I saw that Nicki Haley brought it 408 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: up in an ad as it relates to Trump. I 409 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: was disappointed in her for that because it's just not true. 410 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: And you know, look, she's out there on the campaign 411 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: trail and I don't see a good outcome in South Carolina, 412 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: her home state, and I think it becomes very difficult 413 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: for her. I'm not saying this with any animus. I'm 414 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: just objectively discerning that the polls can't be off by 415 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: that much. There was a poll out yesterday that had 416 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: Trump up in South Carolina by thirty five points. If 417 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: he wins by fifteen, that's a massive win. Or Mitt 418 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: Romney out there suggesting if your position is being cheered 419 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: by Vladimir Putin, it's time to reconsider your position. Senator 420 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: Romney why don't you lead the charge and get your 421 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: ass down to the southern border, And why don't you 422 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: see the danger that is clear and present that we're 423 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: being warned about by top FBI officials and even the 424 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: current FBI director. And that's Christopher Ray. You know, I'm 425 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of but he's right on this issue. 426 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, my understanding is Ray has been making it, 427 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, the rounds across the country, warning local sheriffs 428 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: and law enforcement and municipalities about the dangers of Joe 429 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Biden's open borders. I wish you would have spoken up sooner, 430 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: like over three years ago. I'm not against immigration. I'm 431 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: for legal immigration. All for of my grandparents were immigrants. 432 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: They came here with no money in their pocket, next 433 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: to no money from Ireland, all four of them. They came, 434 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: They went through Lls Island. They came in legally. I 435 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: assumed that there was some type of vetting back in 436 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: the day, certainly not as peril as the time as 437 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: this in a post nine or one even post October 438 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: seventh world that we live in. Romney's argument is, well, 439 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: we can't stand back and let Putin have his way 440 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: with Europe. No the Republicans were saying secure the border first, 441 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: and I would add to that, get your budget in 442 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: balance first. Then we can talk about issues involving how 443 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: much money is left. How much should America's contribution be? 444 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: Uh First, I don't think we've done enough for Israel, 445 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: especially compared to Ukraine and Israel. Frankly, for the most part, 446 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: they just want our weapons. They're were even willing to 447 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: pay for most of them. They're not They're not looking 448 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: for the massive billions of dollars. You know this, This 449 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: whole war now has become an American proxy war against 450 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: against Russian and putin uh and and add to that, 451 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has put handcuffs on the Ukrainians by not 452 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: allowing them to actually fight the war to win the war. 453 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: There's no point ever fighting a war without the intention 454 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: of winning it. And by denying Ukraine the twenty eight 455 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: MiGs at the very beginning of this conflict that were 456 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: offered by Poland, Joe Biden put handcuffs on Zelenski and 457 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: on Ukraine. And then we have quick questions about well, 458 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: what should Europe's contribution be. It should be far greater 459 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: than the United States. The opposite is true, and they're 460 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: not a member of NATO. I am in favor. I 461 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: would like to prevent Putin and any geographical ambitions that 462 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: he might have beyond Ukraine. It's a horrible situation. Unlike 463 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: to see innocent people get killed. Nobody wants to see that. 464 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's a nightmare in our time, but it 465 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: is what it is. But I hate being lied to. 466 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: And they're lying about the border. They've been lying for 467 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: three years about it. They're lying about this Ukrainian bill. 468 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: They know that the Republicans want the border secure first. 469 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: That's called being America first. I make no apols that 470 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: we as a country need to take care of our 471 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: own issues first. 472 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: You know. I'm watch in New York they give in 473 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: three four star hotel rooms to illegal immigrants. That's nice. 474 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember them ever doing that to homeless vets 475 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: that I saw in the streets of New York pretty 476 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: much every day. I don't remember them ever doing that. 477 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: One of the great read things I don't miss about 478 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: New York. As a matter of fact, it's not a 479 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: single thing I miss about in New York, except maybe 480 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: a couple of friends. But it's it's called jet Blue. 481 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's called Spirit Airlines. It's called Delta. 482 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: Try one of the airlines. You can get down to Florida. 483 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: It's probably the easiest travel. You'll have a book in 484 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: your life. On another issue where Joe is lied, that 485 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: is the issue of his involvement in his foreign business sons, 486 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: foreign's business dealings. I never once talked to my son, 487 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: my brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign 488 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: business deals. Well, that's not what Rob Walker testified to 489 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: former business associate of Hun and Biden met with the 490 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: chairman of the Chinese energy firm that Hunter Biden sought 491 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: to create this joint venture with that of Four Seasons 492 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: in Washington in twenty seventeen. According to Rob Walker, and 493 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: during his closed door transcript with the Oversight and Judiciary Committees, 494 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: he told investigators that Joe Biden attended the meeting where 495 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, other business partners, and CEFC chairman were having lunch. 496 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: He's meeting with the head of the Communist Chinese Energy 497 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Conglomerates EEFC. And by the way, he didn't remember the 498 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: exact date.
