Speaker 1: All right, news round up and information overload. Our Our
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number this Friday is eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine foot one Sean if you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. We had a good discussion with
Speaker 1: Mark Penn about this radicalization of the Democratic Party and
Speaker 1: about the pending upcoming election. I mean, I thought it
Speaker 1: was interesting. Bruce Blakeman Sianna Pole comes out today. He's
Speaker 1: only down by three, Kathy Hochel. When you factor in
Speaker 1: all the mass migration out of New York, it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of a spectacular number. And it really gives me
Speaker 1: hope for my friends that I left behind years ago
Speaker 1: that maybe he I think Bruce Blakeman's your last shot
Speaker 1: to fix New York. Same with Steve Hilton out in California.
Speaker 1: And but you know what impact. We do have one
Speaker 1: poll out today, it's way too early, and it has
Speaker 1: Mike Rodgers up by four in Michigan against Abdullah say Ed,
Speaker 1: and of course he has this sick friendship with Hassan Piker.
Speaker 1: I am. I am contending that at this point, you know,
Speaker 1: eighty what do we eighty one days away till election day?
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you which way this election is going
Speaker 1: to go. However, I am wanting conservatives, I am wanting
Speaker 1: Trump supporters. I am warning Republicans you better take all
Speaker 1: of this seriously because these people, while they may be
Speaker 1: trying to you know, laugh off, Oh that was woke
Speaker 1: one crazy, they believe all this stuff. They stated all
Speaker 1: of it. Their internal polling tells them to shut up
Speaker 1: and stop saying it. So there's a reason they're they're pivoting. Remember,
Speaker 1: almost everything a politician does and says is often poles driven.
Speaker 1: So it's just too early for me. I see warning signs,
Speaker 1: and I see hopeful signs, and but I again, I
Speaker 1: think it's too early. What happens with the ran, what
Speaker 1: happens with the price of oil? Where's the economy?
Speaker 2: Headed?
Speaker 1: Had a long conversation with Scott Bessen. He gave me
Speaker 1: a lot of hope on the economy, But time will tell.
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer. I don't have a crystal ball.
Speaker 1: But you know what impact you know the fact that
Speaker 1: so many people will not like elsaiaed and Michigan will
Speaker 1: not condemn Hassam Piker. Here's you know, let's go through
Speaker 1: some of Hassam Piker and why would any Democrat, you know,
Speaker 1: and there are many of them that have sought his
Speaker 1: support that he has been out campaigning for. Listen, we
Speaker 1: are in the heart of the imperial for this is
Speaker 1: a country that defeated the USSR, unfortunately, and the.
Speaker 3: Reality of the matter is there's a lot of antagonists
Speaker 3: and there's.
Speaker 1: No class consciousness in the United States of Americas.
Speaker 3: Empires never die quietly, and we must end the American
Speaker 3: empire regardless. No more to trump Ism, but no more
Speaker 3: to the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, and who betray us.
Speaker 3: No more to the Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate
Speaker 3: with the fascists, who will fund Dice, who will fund
Speaker 3: Israel being like Abdullah's a ton.
Speaker 1: Of work to do, mending bridges. Here's the take nuke
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 3: Okay, you are all unbelievably Islama for all pieces. Okay,
Speaker 3: they'll say, oh, dsay, your candidate was Oh Francesca Hong
Speaker 3: was bad.
Speaker 1: She was a bad candidate. Oh she didn't like Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and Thanksgiving too. And you know, maybe my favorite is,
Speaker 1: oh the streets will run red with the blood of
Speaker 1: capitalists and landlords. Pretty sick stuff. But he says all
Speaker 1: of it, proudly displays newspaper showing the Twin Towers burning
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven. America deserved nine to eleven. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't stand people like him. I can't
Speaker 1: stand white nationalist extremists. I can't stand anti Semitic people
Speaker 1: and both parties. I don't like any of them, and
Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with any of them. It's
Speaker 1: not who I am. I have a heart, a soul,
Speaker 1: a conscience, and I'm sorry this is crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: all the years I've known Mark Alpert, I don't know
Speaker 1: where he stands politically. I know that he he analyzes
Speaker 1: information in a very smart, effective way. We communicated a
Speaker 1: lot before the twenty twenty four presidential election. He was
Speaker 1: one of the very few people that had the information
Speaker 1: that I had about early voting and a bunch of
Speaker 1: things nobody was factoring in. On election night, everyone's looking
Speaker 1: at the New York Times needle. I'm like, you're wasting
Speaker 1: your time. You know. For Kamala Harris two have won
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, she would have had to have
Speaker 1: a day of voting that never existed before. And I
Speaker 1: was checking in all day in every liberal area in
Speaker 1: all three states, and they were not getting the kind
Speaker 1: of turnout that she would have needed. And Mark was
Speaker 1: right the whole time too. Mark, welcome back. He's the
Speaker 1: editor in chief of Two Way. How are you, sir?
Speaker 4: Very good, Sean, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1: You want to tell me if you're a Republican or
Speaker 1: a Democrat. You're not going to tell me, are you.
Speaker 4: I'm neither. I'm for the American people. I'm an old
Speaker 4: fashioned reporter just for trying to understand the country through
Speaker 4: the prism of our policy. So, you know, I like
Speaker 4: everybody like you. I don't like the mean spirited people.
Speaker 4: I don't like the races, so I don't like the extremists,
Speaker 4: but I like everybody else. And I'm just here to
Speaker 4: try to inform everybody.
Speaker 1: You know, Hassan Piko, you know when my friend Lindsey
Speaker 1: Graham passed away, actually said he was a demonic entity,
Speaker 1: which was, you know, just typical of this guy. What
Speaker 1: impact do you believe this radicalism, this DSA, these stated
Speaker 1: positions are going to have on this pending midterm.
Speaker 4: Well, I think they'll have an effect in the Michigan
Speaker 4: Senate race. I think they'll have an effect on the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Senate race. Otherwise, I think it will be up
Speaker 4: to the ad makers and message meisters of James Blair
Speaker 4: and the other political lieutenants of the President to spend
Speaker 4: what I believe will be potentially at least an unprecedented
Speaker 4: financial edge to try to convince voters that this is
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party. It's not just a few isolated candidates.
Speaker 4: So potentially I think it could be i'd say dispositive
Speaker 4: in terms of make or break the majorities, make or
Speaker 4: break whether Republicans have a good night or not in
Speaker 4: the midterms. And like I said, in those individual races,
Speaker 4: I think it's quite important we see the data from
Speaker 4: that Fox poll, and again that Box poll is not
Speaker 4: an outlier based on what I know about private polling.
Speaker 4: In the race, It's not just the association with Piker.
Speaker 4: It's some of the issue positions that the candidate in
Speaker 4: self doctor, the candidate's South doctor outside has, that Saya
Speaker 4: it has that are that are going to be make
Speaker 4: it difficult from to assemble a winning coalition against Mike Rodgers.
Speaker 1: You know, I know there were polls that showed that
Speaker 1: sixth gender uh tell a Rico god is non binary.
Speaker 1: Championing the rights of women to play in men's sports,
Speaker 1: and you know, even you know, saying that that transgender people,
Speaker 1: even biological men, should have access to abortion. I might
Speaker 1: have to I might have to go back to school
Speaker 1: mark because I don't know what the other four genders are.
Speaker 1: And I have no earthly idea, had no earthly idea
Speaker 1: that any biological man wouldever need access to an abortion clinic.
Speaker 1: Never mind the vegan campaign, you know, in a cattle state,
Speaker 1: and his opposition to oil and gas in an oil state.
Speaker 1: I think what all is said and done, and you're
Speaker 1: right about the money, it's about eight hundred million. Republicans
Speaker 1: never had that kind of money going into a midterm
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think the kind of ads that
Speaker 1: are done are going to have an impact.
Speaker 4: Well, Texas is a special problem because you can't say
Speaker 4: you're going to help Paxton win by putting in five million.
Speaker 4: If you want to help him win, you're going to
Speaker 4: have to put in at least ten times that. And
Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a game of chicken because
Speaker 4: until the candidate proves to folks that he's going to
Speaker 4: do his part to win this, it's going to be
Speaker 4: a challenge for him to get folks to pony up.
Speaker 4: I have been as staunch a skeptic of a Democrat
Speaker 4: winning statewide in Texas for the last three decades as
Speaker 4: anybody I know, truly, I've just laughed at it. It's
Speaker 4: just math, isn't.
Speaker 1: There Even the first Beto Bozo run against Ted Cruz,
Speaker 1: because nobody knew how crazy he was during that race.
Speaker 4: It's just a math does not work for a Democrat
Speaker 4: to win stay wide in Texas. It just doesn't. And
Speaker 4: the notion that the first Democrat to win stay wide
Speaker 4: in Texas would be this guy with seventeen positions we
Speaker 4: currently know about and past statements that would be disqualifying.
Speaker 4: The notion that he'd be the first one I would
Speaker 4: have thought until recently is far fetched. But Paxson is
Speaker 4: doing a horrible job. He's not raising the money, and
Speaker 4: he's not giving anybody a reason to say, yeah, here's
Speaker 4: fifty million of our nine hundred million for just to
Speaker 4: begin twenty media markets super expensive. In the end, history
Speaker 4: and logic suggests that Paxson will win, but I will
Speaker 4: tell you things will have to change dramatically or he
Speaker 4: will lose to Tall Rico.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I think up to now they have
Speaker 1: not taken this seriously. I would, but I do know
Speaker 1: I have a little internal knowledge that of fortune is
Speaker 1: going to be spent and things are going to change.
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty confident in saying that to you. You know,
Speaker 1: you and I have an honest relationship. So now, if
Speaker 1: I would to say what states Republicans, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: Georgia ain't looking good, North Carolina ain't looking good. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what to think about New Hampshire. And if
Speaker 1: you underestimate Susan Collins run again against the platnir wannabe
Speaker 1: in Maine, I think you are foolish to ever underestimate
Speaker 1: Susan Collins. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, if you believe the Fox poll from last night,
Speaker 4: and there's reason to believe it's accurate, Democrats will be
Speaker 4: plus two with Ohio and in North Carolina. Although again
Speaker 4: I don't think you can say Ohio is over because
Speaker 4: it's a red state. So let's say Democrats go plus
Speaker 4: two there, they need to net two more and if
Speaker 4: they don't win Maine, and I don't believe they will
Speaker 4: win Maine as of now, where can they net to more? Well,
Speaker 4: First of all, they got to win Michigan, and I
Speaker 4: don't believe today they will win Michigan. Then they wouldn't
Speaker 4: have to net three. So if it goes like that,
Speaker 4: they take North Carolina, they take Ohio, but they don't
Speaker 4: take they don't take Maine, and they lose Michigan, then
Speaker 4: they have to win all of Texas, Iowa, and Alaska.
Speaker 4: Could happen, but it's unlikely. So I think people are
Speaker 4: currently currently based on the office of the major nine races,
Speaker 4: and I think New Hampshire, I think Samina has got
Speaker 4: a chance, and that would obviously make it even harder
Speaker 4: for Democrats. Currently, I think people are way over at
Speaker 4: stating Democrats' chances of taking the Senate.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the House? One thing that
Speaker 1: gives me a little hope. I mean, it's so razor
Speaker 1: thin the margin, but again, the money advantage is something
Speaker 1: new to Republicans. The one thing that gives me a
Speaker 1: little bit of hope is, you know, Republicans finally have
Speaker 1: caught up to decades of Democratic jerry mandering, and they
Speaker 1: got plus twelve by my math in terms of you know,
Speaker 1: solidly read seats that they would have otherwise, you know,
Speaker 1: been underwater On.
Speaker 4: I think there's there's two variables that if they go
Speaker 4: to the President's away, make it still possible to take
Speaker 4: the House. The baseline variable, which you said, barring a
Speaker 4: huge blue wave, there just aren't that many seats in play,
Speaker 4: So Republicans can take their financial advantage, apply it to
Speaker 4: twenty five districts and try to save enough of them
Speaker 4: to win them to keep the majority. One variable is
Speaker 4: how do people feel about the two parties, not just
Speaker 4: the President's party. Come you know, the post Labor Day period.
Speaker 4: I don't think the Iran conflict is going to end,
Speaker 4: but it could be in a more manageable position. So
Speaker 4: how do people feel about the economy, how to feel
Speaker 4: about the performance of the two parties? And then second
Speaker 4: said before we've never seen this spend. I think the
Speaker 4: AI folks and the other tech folks are going to
Speaker 4: kick in a lot. Elon's going to kick in a
Speaker 4: lot here at the end, because it's going to be
Speaker 4: it's going to be a clear thing. You pay enough,
Speaker 4: you may see Republicans keep the majority. So the financial
Speaker 4: advantage could be a billion and a half spread over
Speaker 4: nine Senate races in twenty five House districts. And then
Speaker 4: the question Ms Ken James Blair and the consultantc he
Speaker 4: works with make ads not just for TV, but TV
Speaker 4: is still important, make ads for radio, make ads for
Speaker 4: the Internet, make ads for social media, pay per organ
Speaker 4: content on social media that drives the message of competent
Speaker 4: and common sense versus crazy and communist. If they do
Speaker 4: that effectively, I still think they can keep the house.
Speaker 4: But they're gonna have to execute on that, and they're
Speaker 4: gonna have to hope for at least some improvement in
Speaker 4: the president's approval ratings.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, right back more with Mark Halpern
Speaker 1: on the other side. Eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: Sean this Friday our number if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program as we continue.
Speaker 2: Are you sick of fake news?
Speaker 1: Well we've got you covered.
Speaker 5: Kennedy watches here and has the news you need.
Speaker 2: Sean Hennedy.
Speaker 1: Final one once with Mark Halprin, who is with us,
Speaker 1: by the way, editor in chief of two Way, talking
Speaker 1: about what's going on. And I'm telling you this so
Speaker 1: much happening. Why is it that very few people like
Speaker 1: I know based on the things you say, who you're
Speaker 1: talking to I know, based on the things you say
Speaker 1: that you look at the same things I look at.
Speaker 1: Why don't more people that are in our business do this?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I'm a loser. You know. All
Speaker 1: I do is three hours of radio, hour TV, two
Speaker 1: podcasts a week. I'm a loser, I admit it, you know.
Speaker 1: But why don't other people work a little bit?
Speaker 4: The great question? I think a lot of particularly the
Speaker 4: younger reporters, are just not trained to actually do reporting.
Speaker 4: They're trained to aggregate on social media and and of course,
Speaker 4: as you know, a lot of people only talk to
Speaker 4: people in one party, which is never going to give
Speaker 4: you a three hundred and sixty degree view of what's
Speaker 4: going on. And it's you know, again, I have such
Speaker 4: an admiration for you, because it's easy. If you have
Speaker 4: to do as much content as you do in your
Speaker 4: tethered to microphone and camera, as much as you are,
Speaker 4: it's easy to just sort of read the wires and
Speaker 4: make it up and repeat other people's stuff. But you
Speaker 4: and I have the same attitude, which is there's stuff
Speaker 4: to know, and you can't do your on camera work,
Speaker 4: and you're on.
Speaker 1: Michael, But you're not as big a loser as I am.
Speaker 1: I'm a total loser.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm currently doing twelve hours a week that I hope.
Speaker 1: I know you are. I know you're doing a lot
Speaker 1: and you do a lot of those shows too, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know what it is. I think
Speaker 1: we both love it. It's a passion. We feel blessed
Speaker 1: to do what we do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we get paid to do something we do for free.
Speaker 1: You know, I've had the I don't never say that
Speaker 1: trump one said that to my bosses. I'm like, will
Speaker 1: you shush up?
Speaker 4: We wouldn't do it for free. You need a lot
Speaker 4: more money. I've traveled. People have paid me to travel
Speaker 4: to forty nine of the fifty states to cover America.
Speaker 4: That's as incredible blessing and honor and privilege and you know,
Speaker 4: and I just I wish I could do more of it.
Speaker 4: I've got a nine year old now, so I don't
Speaker 4: travel quite as much as I used to. But I'm
Speaker 4: first you'd understand the country, and the only way to
Speaker 4: do that is to talk to people. Part of why
Speaker 4: my job's good now is on two way with people
Speaker 4: from all over the country on every every morning and
Speaker 4: every night telling us what they think, so I can
Speaker 4: short circuit the time spent at LaGuardia.
Speaker 1: I love that too. You can find out anything.
Speaker 5: Mark.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you man. We'll check in with you all throughout
Speaker 1: this election season. We really appreciate your time and you're insight.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: shot or number you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program. I know headlines change, and you know people's
Speaker 1: attention spans. You know, the news cycles at the speed
Speaker 1: of light. But you know the world, you know of
Speaker 1: Israel still remains under threat. There are people that want
Speaker 1: to destroy the state of Israel and they have worked
Speaker 1: hard to do so. You know, all those densely populated
Speaker 1: areas targeted by Iran and their proxies. You know, you
Speaker 1: have thousands of people that are without homes, in need
Speaker 1: of basic bear humanitarian assistance, you know, the bare necessities.
Speaker 1: We're talking about life saving aid, food, water, shelter, clothing,
Speaker 1: medications for the elderly that can't get out. You know,
Speaker 1: our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
Speaker 1: they're providing all the humanitarian assistance and for the elderly,
Speaker 1: they're providing you know, these mobile medical clinics so that
Speaker 1: they can be taken care of. But they can't do
Speaker 1: this great work without our help. They are in desperate need.
Speaker 1: There are so many people. I know the head move on,
Speaker 1: but the real need does not. Anyway, please go to
Speaker 1: their website if you can donate generously, if you can
Speaker 1: just pray for them. They're asking for prayers too. It's
Speaker 1: PREYIFCJ dot org. That's PREYIFCJ dot org. Today there's just
Speaker 1: a bill o'reiley brought this up earlier in the week
Speaker 1: and we discussed it with him during the show and Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Now correct me, Linda if I'm wrong. They're allowing abortion
Speaker 1: up to the minute of birth. Now, at that point,
Speaker 1: when you get to month seven, eight and nine, we know,
Speaker 1: with modern technology and modern science that that baby can
Speaker 1: live outside of a mother's womb. This is not an
Speaker 1: issue of you know, somebody saying nope, sorry, you know,
Speaker 1: life begins a conception. That's not what this is saying,
Speaker 1: because at that point the embryo later becoming a fetus
Speaker 1: is not viable on its own. I personally wish people
Speaker 1: would just take individual responsibility and I don't care what
Speaker 1: you do in your private life, that's going to be
Speaker 1: up to you, not up to me, and I wish
Speaker 1: people if you're going to engage in behavior that can
Speaker 1: have consequences like a pregnancy, you know there are precautions
Speaker 1: out there if you want it. Now people might be
Speaker 1: mad that I say that, Well, I'd rather that than
Speaker 1: the choice of an abortion. Now when you get to
Speaker 1: month seven, eight nine, and this was the whole debate
Speaker 1: we used to have, you know, about partial birth abortion,
Speaker 1: because now we're talking about late term abortion and in
Speaker 1: many cases viability is real. In other words, you take
Speaker 1: that baby bo you know, at that stage of what
Speaker 1: it called gestation, and you take that baby and you
Speaker 1: take it to another part of the hospital. They will
Speaker 1: save that baby's life. That baby will grow up, put
Speaker 1: it in what do they call those things, an incubator.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they call them, but they have
Speaker 1: the means of, you know, having premies and saving them
Speaker 1: when they're very, very tiny. It's incredible technology. The idea
Speaker 1: that you're going to allow an abortion up to the
Speaker 1: moment of birth is nothing but infanticide. There's no other
Speaker 1: way to put it. Remember you had that discussion. Who
Speaker 1: was it that said Linda, Well, first the baby will
Speaker 1: be born, and then the mother will have a discussion
Speaker 1: with the doctors and then they'll decide it with somebody
Speaker 1: in Virginia. I forget where it was. It was the
Speaker 1: former governor of Virginia. Yeah, maybe we can pull that
Speaker 1: caught up too, But this is the governor of Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: you know, defending this in this moment.
Speaker 6: It is up to the states to lead, and as governor,
Speaker 6: I promise that no matter what Donald Trump or Republicans
Speaker 6: in Congress or the Secre Court does, We're going to
Speaker 6: continue to make sure that women and families have access
Speaker 6: to the healthcare that they need.
Speaker 7: Right here in Massachusetts. We're going to make.
Speaker 6: Sure that women in particular, are able to make their
Speaker 6: own health care decisions, not the government. It's why I
Speaker 6: took steps to stockpile for PRISTO three years ago when
Speaker 6: it first came under attack. It's why I signed the
Speaker 6: strongest shield blaw in the country to protect patients and
Speaker 6: doctors and nurses who provide that care.
Speaker 7: And it's why I'm signing this bill today.
Speaker 6: We believe that healthcare decisions should be made between women
Speaker 6: and families and their doctors, not politicians. Abortion will remain safe,
Speaker 6: it will remain legal, and it will remain accessible.
Speaker 7: Here in Massachusetts. That's my commitment to you.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, this is where they just
Speaker 1: lose me left, right and sideways. Democrats, they just do
Speaker 1: you know, remember who was it? It was Ralph? Was
Speaker 1: it Ralph Norman? I'm trying to remember then, Virginia, No
Speaker 1: Nor I'm sorry, Ralph Northam. Let's play this cut. First,
Speaker 1: we'll make the baby comfortable. Then the mother will speak
Speaker 1: to the doctor. Remember that this became a huge story.
Speaker 8: Third trimester abortions. These are done with the consent of
Speaker 8: obviously the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more
Speaker 8: than one physician, by the way, and it's done in
Speaker 8: cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be
Speaker 8: a fetus that's non viable. So in this particular example,
Speaker 8: if a mother is in labor, I can tell you
Speaker 8: exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the
Speaker 8: infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated
Speaker 8: if that's what the mother and the family desired, and
Speaker 8: then a discussion would ensue between the physicians.
Speaker 1: And the mother. I don't know, I mean, at what
Speaker 1: point are you losing your soul and your heart and
Speaker 1: your conscience? You know, there are so many people that
Speaker 1: even with you know, IVF treatment, that can't have children,
Speaker 1: they would love to adopt a baby. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know it might be difficult, but in many cases
Speaker 1: you can make a deal. They'll pay for all the
Speaker 1: medical expenses and pay you, you know, for the time
Speaker 1: and effort. You know, maybe maybe they can extract eggs
Speaker 1: from the woman and spur them from the man and
Speaker 1: put it together whatever. I don't know that at some
Speaker 1: point if the baby's viable, at that point it is
Speaker 1: to me a human life. All right, let's see Malia
Speaker 1: my state of Florida. What's up, Malia?
Speaker 9: How are you anticipating being on the air? I just
Speaker 9: called because I wanted to find out, like which candidates
Speaker 9: were the best ones to choose from, because there's so
Speaker 9: many different names, and I don't want to select the
Speaker 9: wrong ones that you know aren't going to do a
Speaker 9: good job for us, because they're going to be in
Speaker 9: for a long period of time. And so I heard
Speaker 9: you're talking this morning about it. But when you work
Speaker 9: a lot, you can't really listen. I do listen to you,
Speaker 9: and I did pick some of the most prestigious ones
Speaker 9: that you had on here that I thought would be
Speaker 9: really good. But there's so many different ones and it's
Speaker 9: hard to know which one we do a good job.
Speaker 9: And that's why I just wanted to make sure that
Speaker 9: I picked the right candidate that would be best.
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me ask you a question. Do
Speaker 1: you consider yourself more of a Republican or a Democrat?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 9: Definitely Republican.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you can really start there, and it's very simple.
Speaker 1: Don't vote for a Democrat. Let's start there. Vote, but
Speaker 1: definitely take voting seriously this election cycle because there is
Speaker 1: a lot at stake. You've heard me list. For example,
Speaker 1: there's two hundred and fifty DSA politicians that have been
Speaker 1: elected since twenty nineteen. There's forty more, forty plus more
Speaker 1: that will be on the ballot in the midterms. Forty more.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of people. Eliminate the Senate, you don't
Speaker 1: get to pick the president anymore. Change the judiciary, amnesty
Speaker 1: for illegals, abolished borders and I and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: end all deportation and defund the Department of War, wealth tax,
Speaker 1: get rid of cash bell, abolished prisons, police, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Right right now, that's a lot of candidates,
Speaker 1: So I'd say just off the top of my head.
Speaker 1: You know, I tried not to get involved in primaries
Speaker 1: because usually I know five people in a primary. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's hard, and Reagan's old rules. He didn't he didn't
Speaker 1: endorse in primaries. I make exceptions, like I really, I
Speaker 1: really wanted Darlene Graham to win number one. I know
Speaker 1: her number two. I think she showed enormous courage and
Speaker 1: she has. She has blown the doors off of how
Speaker 1: she performed in the debate and conducted herself under the
Speaker 1: most difficult circumstances after losing my friend Lindsey Graham. So
Speaker 1: I'm supporting her. Tim Scott is supporting her. She got
Speaker 1: another endorsement earlier today. One of the other candidates in
Speaker 1: the race said, you know what I'm all in for? Okay,
Speaker 1: for who is it? Russell fry said it good for
Speaker 1: Russell Frye. So I'm really pulling for her in this runoff,
Speaker 1: and I think if she wins the runoff, don't take
Speaker 1: it for granted, but I think she'll easily win the
Speaker 1: general election. But you know the answer, I think you
Speaker 1: answered it. You're a Republican vote Republican this year more
Speaker 1: than ever this year. This party's too crazy.
Speaker 9: There's a lottery book for the primaries there, like, you know,
Speaker 9: you just want to put yeah Republican.
Speaker 1: Maybe look at their websites? Do you do diligence? There
Speaker 1: are so many good people running. I feel bad when
Speaker 1: you know, I'm friends with numerous people. But I just
Speaker 1: whoever the you know, have a fair fight. Whoever wins wins,
Speaker 1: and I'll support the winner. Okay.
Speaker 9: It's just there's some of it out there saying that
Speaker 9: they do a good job, and then I hear you like,
Speaker 9: when it comes on that you find out things that
Speaker 9: they did do wrong and they weren't that good of
Speaker 9: a person. So you just don't know who to believe
Speaker 9: or what not.
Speaker 1: Every Republican, I like, I'm going to be very honest, Malia.
Speaker 1: There are some weak Republicans out there pathetically week However,
Speaker 1: compared to the Democrat that they're likely running against, you know,
Speaker 1: in that case there is there is a lesser of
Speaker 1: two evil concept that comes into play. All right, appreciate,
Speaker 1: appreciate the kom Lee. You have a great weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Greg in Kentucky. Have you seen Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 1: I understand he's out of his rehab center.
Speaker 5: I have not nobody's seen him.
Speaker 1: Nobody's seen him. I don't know where he is. Heid like, Joe,
Speaker 1: what's on you? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Well being from Greater Cincinnati? Are your person? Thing I
Speaker 5: just say is, Hannity, you're a great American.
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, Bill Cunningham here, God bless you, God bless America.
Speaker 1: I want a full report. That's not too bad? Is
Speaker 1: it great that because Cunningham will listen to the show
Speaker 1: and he'll call me after the show? Do I really
Speaker 1: sound like that? Is that closer? Though?
Speaker 5: It's pretty close?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's going on? How are you? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Calling after listening to you last week and especially that
Speaker 5: woman calling you yesterday about touching the dead body thing?
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're you're not going back here. You're gonna
Speaker 1: freak me out. That poor woman. I felt terrible because
Speaker 1: she touched the body of her husband of thirty plus years.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I feel like I feel awful. And
Speaker 1: I wasn't talking about her. I was talking about like
Speaker 1: the relatives that you know hang out at the body
Speaker 1: holding the hand kissing the cheek and the forehead and
Speaker 1: the lips. I'm like, oh stop, well, I can't take it.
Speaker 5: When my dad's brother died, my sister's suck him the
Speaker 5: men's warehouse and buy a suit and asked him what
Speaker 5: he wanted to spend. He said, not much. I'm going
Speaker 5: to wear it to my brother's funeral and mine.
Speaker 1: And that's a good answer. Listen, we're all going home.
Speaker 1: One day when Jesus calls.
Speaker 5: Us and his brother's funeral, people kept walking by and
Speaker 5: I was standing next to the dad, and they kept
Speaker 5: looking at my uncle saying how good he looked. And
Speaker 5: Dad turned around and looked at me, and he said,
Speaker 5: if anybody says that at my funeral, I want you
Speaker 5: to turn around. Slapped the hell out of him.
Speaker 1: I know these people make these ridiculous comments. You know
Speaker 1: you're at a week I am never going to have
Speaker 1: an open coffin. I mean they made the oh don't
Speaker 1: they look good? I mean, he's in a coffin, he's dead.
Speaker 1: He got makeup on. Although I probably will look the
Speaker 1: same as I do in life, because they put makeup
Speaker 1: on me for TV every night. I'm like, good grief.
Speaker 5: Well, my dad died. I went to the nursing now'm
Speaker 5: to see and he looked absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that sucks, man, doesn't that suck? It just sucks.
Speaker 5: It does. And at the funeral I put my hand
Speaker 5: on his chest number one because I wanted touching one
Speaker 5: last time. And number two, I didn't want him to
Speaker 5: sit up and slap me when I said, Dad, you
Speaker 5: look at held a lot better than the last time
Speaker 5: I saw you.
Speaker 1: Did he really look better because he looked that bad
Speaker 1: in the nursing home?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he really.
Speaker 1: You know what I believe In Paradise, Jesus on the
Speaker 1: Cross said to the one guy that said I I
Speaker 1: deserve what's happening to me. You don't deserve this, And
Speaker 1: he said, this day you'll be with me in Paradise.
Speaker 1: When I gave Lindsey Graham's eulogy, I quoted scripture, let
Speaker 1: not your heart be troubled. In my father's house are
Speaker 1: many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you,
Speaker 1: and I'll come back for you, so that where I am,
Speaker 1: he shall also be. I just believe in it. And
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care if people don't agree with me.
Speaker 1: You don't have to you're entitled to your own religious beliefs,
Speaker 1: and your dad's in paradise. He's probably laughing that you
Speaker 1: called this radio program on seven hundred and sixty stations
Speaker 1: and all around the country and many around the globe,
Speaker 1: and that you told this story. I bet he's happy.
Speaker 5: He's probably laughing.
Speaker 1: Well, he's probably happier than all of us down here.
Speaker 1: I just interviewed a bunch of people for the pod
Speaker 1: Heaven is Real. Oh my goodness, Linda, you got to
Speaker 1: hear the stories of these people that I interviewed. I mean,
Speaker 1: and their descriptions are almost ident of Jesus, God, the Father,
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Colors that don't exist on earth, Choirs
Speaker 1: of angels. You know, there's a million of them, and
Speaker 1: you can discern each one individually, seeing past relatives, people
Speaker 1: that have passed on. It's it's so fascinating to me.
