Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Scott Shannon, Thanks to all of
Speaker 1: you for being with us. Write down our toll free
Speaker 1: telephone number if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program as eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
Speaker 1: if you want to join us. Well, everybody needs to
Speaker 1: know a little bit of context here in the hours
Speaker 1: leading up to the Alaska summit with President Trump and
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin Ukraine, was you know, bombing the night before
Speaker 1: up to you know, like twelve hours before the actual
Speaker 1: summit took place, and Vladimir Putin immediately there thereafter the war,
Speaker 1: they never the ceasefire was never really one of the
Speaker 1: top priorities of the president, and he pointed that out
Speaker 1: and every other agreement he's been involved in from India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Zabaijan, Ethiopia,
Speaker 1: and Egypt, you know, they never had the ceasefire.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 1: He said his goal was going in to have the
Speaker 1: second meeting, and it looks like it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that it's going to happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Donald Trump can only
Speaker 1: do so much. I don't think there's any other world
Speaker 1: leader that had the stature, the strength, the ability to
Speaker 1: pull off what he's pulled off so far. Bringing Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin to the table. I think he did it from
Speaker 1: a position of strength. I think by strengthening NATO. Nations
Speaker 1: commitments to NATO played a big part in it, and
Speaker 1: they more than doubled their percentage of GDP that they
Speaker 1: will contribute to their defense. I think getting the European
Speaker 1: Union to wake the hell up. I went into great
Speaker 1: specificity in detail in this on this last night. It's
Speaker 1: so frustrating on so many levels to watch the Europeans
Speaker 1: be so stupid when it comes to Vladimir Putin. It's
Speaker 1: actually mind I mean, because they're the ones that have
Speaker 1: been funding Putin's war machine the entire time. You know,
Speaker 1: the President is showing by strengthening NATO, by doing a
Speaker 1: trade deal that takes nearly a trillion dollars in energy
Speaker 1: energy purchases out of Putin's pocket, by pressuring India and
Speaker 1: with tariffs and saying you keep buying Russian oil, it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fifty percent tariff on you.
Speaker 1: And he is He's going right to the heart of
Speaker 1: the Russian economy. That's why when the President said the
Speaker 1: consequences will be dire, he's not talking about America going
Speaker 1: to war with with Vladimir Putin. He's talking about America crushing,
Speaker 1: crushing Vladimir Putin's economy. And you know, I think that
Speaker 1: is the only way to get Putin's attention. I think
Speaker 1: those those are the main reasons why that you know,
Speaker 1: you finally got you finally got Putin to the table
Speaker 1: in the first place. Now, as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm furious with Europe because as bad as Obama was,
Speaker 1: you got to take this back to when Bill Clinton
Speaker 1: pressured I just want you guys, you know you don't
Speaker 1: need after the breakup of the Soviet Union, you guys
Speaker 1: don't need these nuclear weapons going to be in the
Speaker 1: best interest, We'll have security guarantees.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: The biggest mistake Ukraine ever made was given up the
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. They never should have listened to Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1: And when Crimea happened and it was annexed in twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen and Obama's president, he didn't lift a finger in
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that the US was a party
Speaker 1: to an agreement that would guarantee security for Ukraine and
Speaker 1: prevent that from happening.
Speaker 2: Nothing. Joe Biden. We know the story about Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: You know Putin's building up troops, military equipment on the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian border.
Speaker 2: He does absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: But the other factor in all of this is the
Speaker 1: rest of Europe and how they have grossly mismanaged this
Speaker 1: regional crisis, and frankly, are are equally as responsible as
Speaker 1: past democratic American presidents in terms of showing weakness and
Speaker 1: stupidity in naivete when it comes to Vladimir Putin, because
Speaker 1: it's them that have been funding his war machines for decades.
Speaker 1: I pointed this out and went into great specificity in
Speaker 1: detail on TV last night. Prior to Putin's invasion to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: A lot of these European countries, they're buying one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of their gas, the natural gas, which is the
Speaker 1: lifeblood of the world's economy, from Russia. This is why
Speaker 1: Trump what he I keep telling you what he what
Speaker 1: he did with Angela Merkel was basically when he handed
Speaker 1: her the white flag of surrender, because that's what Europe
Speaker 1: has been doing. They're surrendering their culture, they're surrendering so
Speaker 1: many different things. It's really spectacular to watch, you know,
Speaker 1: the decline of a continent. But major European powers like
Speaker 1: Germany's sending tens of billions of dollars to Putin. That
Speaker 1: funded his military build up, that's funding his war machine.
Speaker 1: And in Trump's first term, Europe defied his warnings, doubled
Speaker 1: down on dumb and dumber, and they kept building more
Speaker 1: pipelines into Russia. He was shutting down nord Stream too.
Speaker 1: If you recall back in the day, and even several
Speaker 1: years ago, Europe was still sending Putin around twenty you know,
Speaker 1: twenty two billion dollars a year for Russian energy. In
Speaker 1: other words, they're funding Putin's war machine. So I say
Speaker 1: this in light of the news that broke just earlier
Speaker 1: today that NATO had to scramble warplanes because Russia hit
Speaker 1: near the Romanian border in Ukraine, and two German warplanes
Speaker 1: were scrambled overnight from Romania after Russia launched a large
Speaker 1: scale missile and drone attack in Ukraine less than a
Speaker 1: mile from the NATO borderline. Now that's Vladimir Putin's saber rattling,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
Speaker 1: This decision of whether the war is going to stop
Speaker 1: is going to be made by Vladimir Putin and by
Speaker 1: President Zolensky of Ukraine, and if they let this opportunity
Speaker 1: pass well, the results will be devastating. The results for
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin are going to be severe. Economically, the lifeblood
Speaker 1: of Russia's economy is the sale of energy. And right now,
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham in the US Senate, you never get eighty
Speaker 1: five senators to agree on anything, but they're all sitting
Speaker 1: tight on top of a sanctions bill that will go
Speaker 1: after Russia and their energy. And then the President will
Speaker 1: use the power of our economy to prevent other countries
Speaker 1: from buying Russian energy period And I think Plan B
Speaker 1: probably starts right about now for President Trump, and that
Speaker 1: is punishing Moscow, and by doing it, you're doing it economically.
Speaker 1: And then the fact that the President will sell sophisticated
Speaker 1: weaponry to Ukraine is another motivation that it should motivate,
Speaker 1: you know, Putin to want to make a deal here.
Speaker 1: Do I think it's in the best interest of Ukraine
Speaker 1: to stop this. I do because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, the fact that they have fought so valiantly
Speaker 1: and so successfully. I don't think anybody at the start
Speaker 1: of this conflict thought that we'd be three years into
Speaker 1: this and that Russia has not been more successful than
Speaker 1: they have been. I mean, yeah, they've hit a lot
Speaker 1: of areas within Ukraine, but in terms of territory that
Speaker 1: they gained relatively small considering what was supposed to be
Speaker 1: the overwhelming might of the Russian army, which has not
Speaker 1: been particularly impressive, especially in my view. You know, you
Speaker 1: kind of use the plan that I think the president
Speaker 1: used with Iran and with Hamas and funding of terror.
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that the Iranians of the number
Speaker 1: one state sponsor of terror. We know that they helped
Speaker 1: PLoP plan and scheme when happened October seventh, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: We know that revolutionary forces were responsible in part of
Speaker 1: the planning, Kud's forces part of the planning. We know
Speaker 1: that they provided the weaponry for Hamas in the south
Speaker 1: and for Lebanon and the north, and for the Huti
Speaker 1: rebels and other terror groups throughout the region. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting after the fiftieth day that Donald Trump gave
Speaker 1: Iran to go to the table and make a nuclear deal,
Speaker 1: and they basically thumbed their middle finger at the US.
Speaker 1: On the fifty first day, Israel went in there and
Speaker 1: decimated them, absolutely decimated them, taking out their missile battery systems,
Speaker 1: taking out their air defense systems, taken out pretty much everything,
Speaker 1: which paved the way for a very difficult what ended
Speaker 1: up being an extraordinar extraordinarily successful effort, and that was
Speaker 1: to take out their nuclear sites. Now the result is
Speaker 1: they the Iranians were near bankruptcy during Trump's first term
Speaker 1: because of the sanctions that he had put on them.
Speaker 1: They were working and you saw the people in Iran
Speaker 1: beginning to rise up because they were sick and tired
Speaker 1: of living under these you know, rigid mullahs in Iran
Speaker 1: and these rigid rules that were put in place. Anyway
Speaker 1: to fast forward, we have a group of reformers now
Speaker 1: inside of Iran and this was reported on today in
Speaker 1: the New York Post. They're calling for a ran to
Speaker 1: suspend their uranium and Richmond program, in other words, give
Speaker 1: up their nuclear ambition. Why because they want to reach
Speaker 1: a deal with the US to ease sanctions on the
Speaker 1: country as they face widespread power and water shortages, and
Speaker 1: they're struggling financially, and their people are beginning to struggle.
Speaker 1: And if they continue to struggle, you know, usually the
Speaker 1: outcome of such a struggle ends up with some type
Speaker 1: of new government taking over. And that's kind of similar
Speaker 1: to what happened in the Cold War. I mean, Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan showed strength. Ronald Reagan came into office, he had
Speaker 1: militarily what he called a gap of vulnerability. He had
Speaker 1: planes that couldn't fly at ships that couldn't go out
Speaker 1: to sea. We had a depleted military, very similar to
Speaker 1: what President Trump just inherited, and he set about building
Speaker 1: a six hundred ship navy and modernizing all our military equipment,
Speaker 1: replenishing our military equipment, advancing our military technology. The big
Speaker 1: issue as President Reagan went into his summit with Gorbachev
Speaker 1: at Reikievic was the issue of strategic defense. With the
Speaker 1: media in this country mocked as you know, Star Wars, well,
Speaker 1: real life Star Wars has been happening all over the
Speaker 1: Middle East thanks to Ronald Reagan's vision of strategic defense,
Speaker 1: and I argue that might go down in history as
Speaker 1: his greatest legacy. I think if the President's capable of
Speaker 1: building out a golden dome to protect America from you know,
Speaker 1: new modern weaponry that it is being developed on a
Speaker 1: daily basis, including hypersonic technology. You know, we there could
Speaker 1: be down the line in the future at some point,
Speaker 1: at some date, untold millions of lives that can ultimately
Speaker 1: be said because of the technology we're beginning to develop
Speaker 1: even today. And I know people that are working on it,
Speaker 1: and they are going, you know, hardcore, deep in the
Speaker 1: paint to get this done as quickly and as expeditiously
Speaker 1: as humanly possible. You have a viral video of a
Speaker 1: Rhode Island Democrat attorney general threatening police while resisting arrest
Speaker 1: after being told to leave a restaurant. Linda, did you
Speaker 1: see that video? It's unbelievable. See the horrible, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's insane body camera footage showing a Rhode Island prosecutor
Speaker 1: but rating a police officer and attempting to avoid arrest
Speaker 1: after a drunken night out with a friend. The Rhode
Speaker 1: Island Special Assistant Attorney General, Devin Flanagan Hogan, a Democrat,
Speaker 1: arrested Thursday for allegedly trespassing at Clark cook House, a
Speaker 1: swanky waterfront restaurant in Newport. I'm an ag. I'm an ag.
Speaker 1: You know what are your probable cause to detain me? For?
Speaker 1: Hogan complaining as the cops are trying to handcuff her
Speaker 1: and jeezus out there in the slinky little dress trying
Speaker 1: to you know, tell them you better turn off your
Speaker 1: You're going to regret this. You're going to regret this.
Speaker 1: Why do people do? It's sort of like those people,
Speaker 1: famous people that walk into arrested. Do you know who
Speaker 1: I am? You do not know who I am. I
Speaker 1: can't stand these people. Unbelievable. A top Justice Department mortgage
Speaker 1: fraud prosecutor is urging New York Attorney General Leticia James resign.
Speaker 1: The Justice Department Special Attorney for mortgage fraud Ed Martin
Speaker 1: has now urged the New York Attorney General Letitia James
Speaker 1: to resign as his office is investigating her for potential
Speaker 1: mortgage fraud. He sent a letter to James attorney Abby
Speaker 1: Lowell on August the twelfth, in which he said James
Speaker 1: would best served the good of the state and the
Speaker 1: nation by resigning from office. Who addressed the issues in
Speaker 1: the referral. A resignation from office would give the people
Speaker 1: of New York and America more peace than proceedings. It's
Speaker 1: so interesting to watch those people that were most active
Speaker 1: in weaponizing justice and her and Adam Schiff and all
Speaker 1: these other people. Adam shift got the preemptive pardon. It's
Speaker 1: going to be difficult to go after him. I don't
Speaker 1: think Letitia James got one. I didn't see her name
Speaker 1: on the list. I didn't see Alvin Bragg's name on
Speaker 1: the list. But Adam Schiff, you know, man, Democrats, I
Speaker 1: guess they're just so arrogant. They think they can get
Speaker 1: away with everything. I have to hire accountants and attorneys
Speaker 1: for every aspect of my life because I know if
Speaker 1: I don't dot every eye and cross every tee, forget it,
Speaker 1: they'd come after me in a heartbeat. Good news today
Speaker 1: New York Times. Voters are abandoning the Democratic Party in droves.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the death cycle of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, but there seems to be no end to this,
Speaker 1: one voter. One voter registration expert said anyway. According to
Speaker 1: the detailed analysis the Times headline this morning, Democratic Party
Speaker 1: faces a voter registration crisis. The party is bleeding support
Speaker 1: beyond the ballot box. The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters
Speaker 1: long before they even go to the polls of the
Speaker 1: thirty states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats
Speaker 1: lost ground to Republicans in every single one between twenty
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty four, often by a lot. The
Speaker 1: four year swing towards Republicans adds up to four point
Speaker 1: five million voters, a deep political hole. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if this current Democratic Party can pull their way
Speaker 1: out of that. So things are changing. And you saw
Speaker 1: in Matt Towery insider advantage in his poll. You know,
Speaker 1: every demographic is moving towards Donald Trump fifty four percent approval,
Speaker 1: forty four percent disapproval, and every demographic he's on the
Speaker 1: positive side, not on the negative side.
Speaker 2: So there is a movement in this country that is
Speaker 2: very real.
Speaker 1: And as I have pointed out, there are most polling
Speaker 1: outfits oranizations, especially if they're related to the legacy media.
Speaker 1: They have never really polled Donald Trump well in the
Speaker 1: ten years he's been on the political scene. Since twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: they just haven't and they don't understand him they don't
Speaker 1: understand the people that support him. They use methodologies that
Speaker 1: are biased and designed to be biased. They will usually
Speaker 1: overpoll Democrats as a means of creating an impression that
Speaker 1: is false. You know, Like recently, up until this week,
Speaker 1: I've been seeing poll after poll kind of showed that, oh,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, is that a loan? Now it's at thirty
Speaker 1: eight percent, and it shows up on a liberal website somewhere.
Speaker 1: And then when a poll comes out by Matt Towery,
Speaker 1: who has consistently along with Robert Kahley and John McLaughlin
Speaker 1: and Rasmussen and Atlas Polling, who really only shows up
Speaker 1: during election years, and I don't even know who they are,
Speaker 1: but they have been the people that have been consistently
Speaker 1: correct and consistently right. And so when Matt Powery after
Speaker 1: the Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin shows Trump with a
Speaker 1: fifty four percent approval rating forty four percent dis approval rating,
Speaker 1: I believe his numbers because he was right in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: he was right in twenty twenty, he was right in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Anyway, So for the New York Times
Speaker 1: to hit the panic button like they have with the
Speaker 1: headline the Democratic Party faces a voter registration crisis and
Speaker 1: that the party's bleeding support beyond the ballot box. It's
Speaker 1: not hard to figure out why. I mean, it's every
Speaker 1: issue we talk about every day. I mean to see
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party be the party of sanctuary cities and states,
Speaker 1: the party of defund dismantled no bail laws, the party
Speaker 1: of wokeism, Deiism, championing the right of men to play
Speaker 1: women's sports, the party higher energy prices, the party of
Speaker 1: now outright Marxism. Forget about which is the Green New
Speaker 1: Deal is is basically the same thing, just with a
Speaker 1: different name. But that's you know, cradle to grave, womb
Speaker 1: to the tomb. And so this party has been radicalized.
Speaker 1: Any moderate voices that might exist are fearful to take
Speaker 1: on those loud voices that now control the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: And you know the names Pocahontas and Grandpa Bernie. And
Speaker 1: if you look to the younger generation, it's Mom Donnie,
Speaker 1: Marxist Mum Donnie and AOC and squad members and and
Speaker 1: so this is what people hear every day and see
Speaker 1: every day. And Jasmine Crockett, I mean Stephen A. Smith
Speaker 1: gives me a hard time because I know.
Speaker 2: What you're doing.
Speaker 1: Like, what do you mean you know what I'm doing? Yes,
Speaker 1: I see, I see the Democrats that you play on
Speaker 1: you show, you play, you play the crazies in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party said pretty much they're all crazy. And for
Speaker 1: those people that might not be crazy, well, where are
Speaker 1: their voices except for John Fetterman. And John Fetterman is
Speaker 1: excoriated by his own party and is very very telling
Speaker 1: to see Josh Shapiro was what I thought would be
Speaker 1: a more moderate Democrat, definitely dipping his toe in the
Speaker 1: water and to see if there's any appetite for him
Speaker 1: to run in twenty twenty eight, you know, by coming
Speaker 1: out championing the right of men and women's sports and
Speaker 1: him coming out what was the other woke issue that
Speaker 1: he came out with, It was one other one. I mean,
Speaker 1: for him to take on these radical social positions means
Speaker 1: to me that he knows that he if he's thinking
Speaker 1: about running for president, he can't win if he's going
Speaker 1: to be a moderate. Here's their long term problem is
Speaker 1: that on every eighty twenty seventy five, twenty five, ninety ten,
Speaker 1: ninety five to five issued they're on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: They don't want to build a wall. They lie to
Speaker 1: us for four years. They don't even want to ever
Speaker 1: call or acknowledge people that have been victims of the
Speaker 1: twelve to twenty million unvetted Biden Harris, the illegals in
Speaker 1: this country, people that are victims of murder, rape, and
Speaker 1: their families and in the aftermath of this other violent crimes.
Speaker 1: They don't want to deal with it. They'd rather be
Speaker 1: the party that stands up for Brego Garcia. They'd rather
Speaker 1: be the party of sanctuary cities.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Now, California, we find out this truck driver in Florida
Speaker 1: came into the country in twenty eighteen illegally. And this
Speaker 1: guy goes to California gets a commercial driver's license. The
Speaker 1: Trump administration denied him his right to a commercial license.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's administration gave him a commercial license. One report
Speaker 1: today that the guy didn't even know how to read English,
Speaker 1: and he's out there driving a rig and he makes
Speaker 1: a U turned and now we have three dead Americans.
Speaker 1: At what point do we not recognize the democratic policies
Speaker 1: aren't keeping people safe and secure?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: How? How has this defund dismantled no bail law idiocy
Speaker 1: worked out not working out very well. You know, our
Speaker 1: nation's capital, just like New York and California and Illinois.
Speaker 1: Look at look at how many we don't even count
Speaker 1: dead people in Chicago anymore. We don't even doesn't even
Speaker 1: make news anymore. The only reason it makes any news ever,
Speaker 1: it's on shows like this. I mean, we have, we
Speaker 1: have tried to highlight this issue since Barack Obama was president.
Speaker 1: We could only find two, maybe three times in his
Speaker 1: entire presidency that he talked about the murder rate and
Speaker 1: the violence in his hometown of Chicago. You know, if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Giano Calwell, who lost his little brother,
Speaker 1: who was murdered, innocently murdered, lauded on the streets of Chicago,
Speaker 1: just another name, And if he hasn't been out there,
Speaker 1: you know, screaming loudly and championing on on this show
Speaker 1: and on Fox and other places, you know, nobody would
Speaker 1: know anything about Chicago violence. But it's still going on.
Speaker 1: It's still happening in cities like New York. It's still
Speaker 1: you know, all these cities that have adopted all of
Speaker 1: these insane no bail laws and defund and dismantle and
Speaker 1: let's put in social workers' attitude and reimagine the police nonsense.
Speaker 1: That's not working out.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Democrats just voted for the largest tax increase in the
Speaker 1: history of the country instead of the lower the largest
Speaker 1: tax decrease in American history. They claim to care about
Speaker 1: working men and women, they voted to raise their taxes.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Republicans thankfully prevailed. And now we have no
Speaker 1: tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and every American
Speaker 1: that makes money is getting a tax cut everyone, and
Speaker 1: the president's protecting social security. Democrats like Obama told us
Speaker 1: forever that manufacturing was never coming back to America. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, he was getting excoriated by all the quote pundits,
Speaker 1: the punditry class over the issue of tariffs. Well, those
Speaker 1: tariffs resulted in a massive change in behavior. And America
Speaker 1: had been ripped off, taken advantage of for so many years,
Speaker 1: and it just nobody ever dared challenge the status quo.
Speaker 1: He challenges the status quo on everything. He's been able
Speaker 1: to control the borders. He's now deporting illegal immigrant criminals.
Speaker 1: He's opened up drilling and fracking and coal mining. That's
Speaker 1: going to be. We can't even begin to calculate the
Speaker 1: impact that's going to have on the economy. He's gotten
Speaker 1: over fifteen trillion dollars in committed moneys and manufacturing over
Speaker 1: the next four years, high paying career jobs for Americans,
Speaker 1: and that's in auto manufacturing that wasn't going to come
Speaker 1: back to America. We were told, you know, we have
Speaker 1: outsourced pharmaceutical manufacturing, which is dangerous to our supply chain lines.
Speaker 1: You know, We've outsourced semiconductor chips, that's been dangerous. We've
Speaker 1: outsourced rare earth minerals, which are vital and critical to building,
Speaker 1: you know, our defense. It's necessary for our defense Department
Speaker 1: in ways that I can't even begin to describe, but
Speaker 1: I've talked to the experts about it, and that includes magnets.
Speaker 1: You can't build cars without magnets and rarer minerals, you
Speaker 1: just can't. And yet we have outsourced a lot of
Speaker 1: these raw materials to other countries because of these strident
Speaker 1: environmental policies of the Democrats. So when you see this
Speaker 1: attrition among the Democratic Party, it should not be a surprise.
Speaker 1: Of the thirty states that they tracked voter registration by
Speaker 1: political party Democrats of lost ground to Republicans and every
Speaker 1: one of them and in most cases by an awful
Speaker 1: lot a lot to make a difference. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's up to nearly five million voters, and there's a stampede.
Speaker 1: And again this is just post twenty twenty four. If
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is is able to bring the economy back
Speaker 1: to anywhere near the boom that I expect, again putting
Speaker 1: aside unforeseen circumstances, if he's able to bring back the
Speaker 1: economy with manufacturing in fifteen trillion, and also add to
Speaker 1: the coffers, because now we're putting tariffs on countries that
Speaker 1: have abused us and taken advantage of us all these years.
Speaker 1: And if lower taxes stimulate the economy as it always
Speaker 1: has historically, like when Reagan gave us, at the time
Speaker 1: the largest tax cut in history, dropping the top marginal
Speaker 1: rate from seventy to twenty eight percent, revenues doubled. If
Speaker 1: we can get you know, fifteen to twenty million new
Speaker 1: jobs online, if you get Americans off of government assistance
Speaker 1: and back in the workforce, that's going to increase revenues.
Speaker 1: And if you you know, deregulate, if you eliminate regulation.
Speaker 1: How do you fail? And this is what? Now? What
Speaker 1: on what issue is the Democratic Party on the right
Speaker 1: side on? You know, for the first time since twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: more new voters nationwide are choosing to be Republicans than Democrats.
Speaker 1: All told, Democrats lost two point one million registered voters
Speaker 1: between and twenty twenty four in thirty states along with
Speaker 1: Washington d C that allow people to register with a
Speaker 1: political party, and the remaining twenty state voters do not
Speaker 1: register with a political party. Republicans, you know, all told,
Speaker 1: have gained nearly five million people. I mean, what adds
Speaker 1: up to a you know, a a net ad of
Speaker 1: just shy of five million people for the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Democrats went from a nearly eleven point advantage over Republicans
Speaker 1: on election day in twenty twenty in those places with
Speaker 1: partisan registration to just over six percentage points in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. And it's going down precipitously because they have
Speaker 1: not had any introspection any course correction.
Speaker 2: I mean, it really is.
Speaker 1: If you look at Gavin Newsom, I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any doubt about it that Gavin Newsom definitely imagines himself
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Being president. That's my take. I
Speaker 1: don't dislike the guy personally, got along great with him.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like me anymore. I don't know why that's
Speaker 1: up to him. But if you look at him, for example,
Speaker 1: he's tried being a podcaster. He's, you know, first he's
Speaker 1: we're building up a fund to fight Trump, and then
Speaker 1: it becomes well, let me talk to conservatives, let me
Speaker 1: bring on Steve Bannon, let me bring on people like
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, and then he says I've never been for
Speaker 1: men playing women's sports, until the tape comes out and
Speaker 1: contradicts exactly what he's saying. You know, Gavin's of the
Speaker 1: unfortunate situation for Gavin is he can try to evolve
Speaker 1: and create new images. Now he's trying to be you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, like, you know, going after people on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and it's backfiring because it looks silly. Even Morning Joe
Speaker 1: is making fun of it today. If Liberal Joe's making
Speaker 1: fun of you and you're a Democrat, you got a problem.
Speaker 1: You got a big problem. But that's not what's gonna
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter how slicky is, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: that he can talk speak well, None of that matters
Speaker 1: when you have a twenty five thirty year track record
Speaker 1: and every comment you've ever made in every position you've
Speaker 1: ever taken is going to be examined, and you're on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of every issue. And there's a reason
Speaker 1: that people have been leaving California in droves. It's the
Speaker 1: number one tax state in the country, is the worst
Speaker 1: schools in the country. It's a sanctuary state. You have
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities all over the place. The quality of life
Speaker 1: issues are very, very real in California. I mean, stores
Speaker 1: are closing left and right. And I saw today. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard about bed Bath and Beyond,
Speaker 1: but they made an interesting observation. At least I thought
Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting. And I like bed Bath and Beyond,
Speaker 1: not that I ever go shopping, but they've been struggling financially.
Speaker 1: They actually put out a statement from the executive on
Speaker 1: the board of bed Bath and Beyond and they put
Speaker 1: it on Twitter, and he said, you're not going to
Speaker 1: open up any retail stores in California. This isn't about politics,
Speaker 1: It's about the reality. A California system makes it nearly
Speaker 1: impossible for businesses to succeed. And I won't put our company,
Speaker 1: our employees, or our customers in that position.
Speaker 2: It's not about politics.
Speaker 1: Higher taxes, hire fees, hire wages that many businesses simply
Speaker 1: cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth that sums
Speaker 1: up the Democratic Party today. None of this is surprising
Speaker 1: to me. No course correction, no introspection, nothing, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect it either. I don't think all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the Democrats are gonna wake up tomorrow and Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: and how came Jefferies, will will find an ounce of
Speaker 1: courage and stand up to the likes of Jasmine Crockett,
Speaker 1: AOC the Squad, Bernie and Pocahontas that are the dominant
Speaker 1: voices in their party. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna say let's secure the border.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna say let's refund the police.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna say they support tax cuts.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna want to deregulate. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna want energy dominance. They didn't even want
Speaker 1: to take out a RAN's nuclear sites. They can't even
Speaker 1: praise Trump for trying to bring peace in the Middle
Speaker 1: East and Europe. They couldn't stand for the families that
Speaker 1: lost loved ones because of their open borders when they
Speaker 1: lie to US and said the borders were closed.
