1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: News round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's a toll 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: free telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine point one 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Sean if you want to be a part of the program. 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: I have been telling all of you that this is 5 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: the single most important midterm in our lifetime. And I'm 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: only asking one thing of the twenty plus million listeners 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: that we have to this radio program on seven hundred 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 1: and fifty sixty stations whatever the number is, and that 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: is this year. I am asking one thing that in 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: your mind, you make a commitment that you are not 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: going to sit out this midterm election. This is the 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: biggest choice election you'll have in your lifetime. You elect 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: Democrats and the result is going to be predictable, and 14 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: that is that there's going to be endless investigation, rancor, hostility, 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: madness the radicals now run this party, I mean the 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: Mamdani Party. Or you're going to want America to continue 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: to progress economically, to achieve a golden era of prosperity 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: for every American, and you're going to want to progress 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: and create freedom around the world with the Trump doctrine 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: that I think is the perfect doctrine. You know, all 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: of that is on the ballot. Now, I'm not really 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: looking closely at polls. There was a good poll by 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: inside or advantage last week Matt Towry our friend fifty 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: forty six. The approval rating of the president. If you 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: look at the mainstream media and the legacy media mob 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: that that have never pulled Donald Trump right, they would 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: tell you Donald Trump is at historically low levels for 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: any sitting president. I don't believe them. I think they've 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: been wrong again and again. Let's go to fake news CNN. 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: Harry Enton says, no clear Democratic front runner or president. 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: It's a downright clown car. That is what I said. 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: This is just a downright clown car at this point 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: on the Democratic side. I mean, just take a look 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: here top choices for the twenty twenty eight dem pres nominee. 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader. 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: It's within the margin. Mary, I've news him at nineteen percent, 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: and you have former Vice president Kamala Harris at eighteen percent. 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: Quite a weak number for her, given that, of course 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: she was the nominee last time around. Pete pou To Judge, 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: who of course has run before, thirteen percent. Alexandi Arcasio 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: Cortez at twelve percent. This is just a total clown car. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: It is a total mess. There is no clear front 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: runner at this particular point on the Democratic side. Who 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: the heck knows who the nominee is going to be 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 2: in three two years. 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,559 Speaker 3: It's been a long time since we've had a Democratic 47 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: race like this. 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been a long time. This is very 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: unusual for the Democratic side to not have a clear 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: front runner at this point, national early pole leader at 51 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: least twenty five percent. Look at this this year we 52 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: get the giant question mark no. 53 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 4: One, no one, no one, no one. 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, there was no incumbent. 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: It was Joe Biden who. 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: Was there, Hillary Clinton in both eight and sixteen, and 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: Al gormbothousand and two thousand and fourth this point where 58 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: at least at twenty five percent in the early ones, 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: you have to. 60 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 5: Go all the way back, all the way. 61 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: Back from when I wasn't even an elementary school yet, 62 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: not even in pre k yet to nineteen hundred and 63 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: ninety two. That was the last cycle in which there 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: was no clear front runner at this point. 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: Very unusually, and what's interesting, after my big fight with 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, yesterday, Linda, did you notice after I kept 67 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: hitting him and hitting him and hitting him, he was 68 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: he went away all of a sudden, he got very quiet. 69 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he wanted to engage with me anymore. 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: You think that maybe he realizes I am unrelenting when 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: it comes to Twitter fights. I won't stop. And if 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: you don't believe me, look at my history with ALC. 73 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: Baldwin and with Jimmy Kimmel. Is it true if you 74 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: engage in a Twitter war with me, it's over or 75 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: an export to be more? 76 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 6: I mean, I remember the Acosta days. 77 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 4: They were rough. Oh yeah, bake news Acosta. 78 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: But the event about him because they quit, they cry uncle, 79 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: they give up. 80 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 6: Well, I think, if we're being honest, we both know 81 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 6: that de Niro and Newsom went home last night and 82 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 6: gave each other a big hug and cried together. 83 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: They cou'd probably right about that. Interesting. 84 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Mike Lee put up a post what is the best 85 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: thing the GOP could do to boostp voter turnout in 86 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: twenty six And you know, I think these are really 87 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: good questions we need to ask, and I'd rather be 88 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: asking them now than asking them the day after the 89 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: midterms and saying, well, what went wrong? And I think 90 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: to be introspective, self reflective, making course corrections is always 91 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: a smart thing to do. For the first time since 92 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: early voting began, the GOP has outvoted Democrats, you know, 93 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: in this one particular district in the state of Texas, 94 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: and I think that's very very important. Over five hundred 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: and forty two thousand Republican primary ballots in just six days, 96 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: and it's dramatically higher than twenty twenty two. 97 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 4: That's going to be very interesting to watch. 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: And anyway, here's Harry Enton talking about how Gavin Newsom 99 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: is flailing. I don't think his little fight with me 100 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: dropping f bombs on me and me dropping him back 101 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: helped him. 102 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: But here's what he said. 103 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: It seems to me that Gavin Newsom is flailing a 104 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: little bit, at least compared to where he was prior. 105 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: Because just take a look here, okay, chance Newsom is 106 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty eight Democratic nominee three months ago according 107 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: to the cash prediction market. Look at that, it was 108 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: a thirty seven percent chance. Now it's just a twenty 109 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: eight percent down. He goes, he's definitely flailing a little bit. 110 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: And I will note, John, I will know that. It 111 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: also seems to me people are a little less interested 112 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: in Gavin Newsom than they used to be. Look at 113 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: this Google searches for Gavin Newsom down sixty three percent 114 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: from the August peak. You remember back then it was 115 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: when he started that social media right going after President Trump, 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: there was a lot of interest from Democratic voters. But 117 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: maybe that interest is waning off just a little bit. 118 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: And of course you don't necessarily want to wane it off, 119 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: chick Jeff, because I think we still have a lot 120 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: of time. 121 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 7: To the votes. 122 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this. 123 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: And as we head into the State of the Union tonight, 124 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: don't forget our coverage eleven o'clock right after the President 125 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: and Abigail's span Berger. Don't worry, she'll speak for less 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: than ten minutes and be boring as hell. 127 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 4: But VORDA. 128 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Turnout for early voting in both Texas and Georgia are 129 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: incredibly strong right now, in many cases also for Democrats. 130 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: But what does it mean? 131 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Democrats historically vote early vote more than Republicans do, but 132 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: I hope Republicans are turning out in numbers two. John 133 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: McLaughlin's brother, Jim or with us from the McLachlan Associates group. Gentlemen, 134 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: welcome back, Jim. It's nice for you to show up 135 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: on time. I can't believe. 136 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 7: It only for you, Sean, will I show up on time? 137 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: Great to be here, yeah, but because John always shows 138 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: up on time, I'll start with him. What do you 139 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: make of this early voting? And where do we stand? 140 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: You know, now what eight months away from these midterms. 141 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 8: Well but by the way, thanks for the opportunity, and 142 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 8: it's great to be here. But with Linda, this is 143 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 8: really like a three on one McLachlin match with Sean 144 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 8: Hannity's we get ready for Saint Patrick's month. 145 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 4: That's what it takes. Three on one if you're going 146 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: to battle against me, Oh my god. 147 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 7: Oh well we have Linda on our side. That's when 148 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 7: we have a chance. 149 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 9: All right. 150 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: Now, Notice the two McLaughlin brothers hoping that the other 151 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: McLachlin can bail them out, you know, the female McLaughlin. 152 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: See, that's what that speaks. That speaks volumes about toxic masculinity. 153 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 8: Yes, but to your point originally, there's a lot of 154 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 8: fake poles out there right now. I mean when you look, 155 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 8: the economist Yugo put out a poll today of one thousand, 156 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 8: five hundred and fifty one adult citizens that you know, 157 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 8: God knows who these adults are. They have only thirty 158 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 8: five percent Trump voters in their poll. They have actually 159 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 8: thirty nine percent Harris voters. They have They put out 160 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 8: a poll with more Harris voters than Trump voters. And 161 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 8: then we get fifty percent? Did we get fifty percent 162 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 8: in the last election. They are submarining us with these poles, 163 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 8: trying to convince us that Trump has the lowest numbers ever. Now, 164 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 8: Matt Towery offered tracks close with ours, like our January 165 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 8: poll had Trump with fifty percent job approval, forty seven 166 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 8: percent disapprove, and Adams. 167 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: It's almost a direct match of Matt Towery and you. 168 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Matt Towery, Robert Kahelly, the three people for three presidential elections, 169 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: and rask me of some by the way, I got 170 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: to give them a tip of the hat, the four 171 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: people that tend to poll Donald Trump accurately. 172 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, and then thank Heaven for Jim and I because 173 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 8: we got to deliver those poll numbers to him, and 174 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 8: he still tells me those aren't right. I have my 175 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 8: best poll numbers ever, and I'm like, nah, you were 176 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 8: best on election day. But that was the good That 177 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 8: was good timing when he swept all seven battleground states 178 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 8: and we won the popular vote because he made our 179 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 8: polls right and right now, by the way, November, he's 180 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 8: not on the ballot. He's not on the ballot. The 181 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 8: Republicans for Congress are and they think that Donald Trump's 182 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 8: going to lift him to get re elected. No, I mean, 183 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 8: Donald Trump is succeeding as president. But they better draw 184 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 8: a contrast election with the Democrats in November because you've 185 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 8: got I mean, think about Donald Trump went after Joe Biden, 186 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris straight up was the better president. Won on 187 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 8: issues where there was tax cuts, whether it was strengthening defense, 188 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 8: securing the borders. 189 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 7: He did it. 190 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 8: The Republicans in Congress better go after the Democrats because 191 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 8: the Democrats they voted against the Trump tax cuts for 192 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 8: the largest tax cuts in history. They are now they 193 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 8: are now defending illegal immigrants to stay in this country 194 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 8: by going after ration enforcement officers. So that's an issue 195 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 8: that analys Paul eighty seven to ten Americans favored deporting 196 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 8: illegal immigrants, and the Democrats are shutting down the government 197 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 8: precisely to keep criminal legal immigrants in this country. So 198 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 8: the Republicans and the save AC voter id to vote 199 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 8: in the United States, it's an eighty twenty issue and 200 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 8: Republicans need to get that through the Senate. So it 201 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 8: has passed. But the Republicans better have an agenda like 202 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 8: Neuke Gingrich had in ninety four with the Contract for America, 203 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 8: or like Donald Trump had in twenty twenty four versus 204 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris that we were able to win that election. 205 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 8: It's a contrast election, and right now in the polls 206 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 8: I was talking about, the Republicans are losing the generic 207 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 8: ballot for Congress forty four to forty seven. We need 208 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 8: to go. We need to go to Warwick. The Democrats 209 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 8: have a good contrast election and win in November and 210 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 8: bring the Trump owns back out. 211 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: All right, we continue with our posters heading into tonight's 212 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: State of the Union. Remember our coverage right after the 213 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: President speaks at about eleven o'clock Eastern time. Of course 214 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: we have the Democratic response Abigail Spanberger, but that's less. 215 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: Than ten minutes. That'll be boring as well. 216 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: But stay there because we're going to have great coverage 217 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: analysis that you'll never get from anyone else in the 218 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: legacy media mob right after the State of the Union 219 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: around eleven o'clock Eastern time. Look forward to that tonight 220 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: from Washington. I do think that Trump, in one way 221 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: is on the ballot and that it will be a 222 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a referendum. And I think a lot 223 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: of people need to understand that the president's agenda will 224 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: be stopped right and its tracks if in fact Democrats 225 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: got control of Congress, they'll be endless investigation, impeachment, and 226 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: the country's progress will stop and will have nothing but 227 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: endless distractions. And I think that that should be top 228 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: of mind for voters. Also, Jim, what are you think? 229 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 7: Oh, without a doubt. And I think Susie Wiles she 230 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 7: gets it better than anybody because she said, we're putting 231 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 7: President Trump and his common sense, successful agenda, We're putting 232 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 7: that on the ballot in this election. And that's one 233 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 7: of the reasons why the Republicans underperformed back in twenty 234 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 7: eighteen during the midterms, because we literally had millions of 235 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 7: Trump voters that didn't come out for the midterms. We 236 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 7: need to make sure we get these folks out, and 237 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 7: the best way we're going to get them out there 238 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 7: is a contrast with these Democrats on the issues that 239 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 7: people care about most. Just think about this. I mean, 240 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 7: the Democrats are the party they want open borders. That's 241 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 7: what they want. Literally, as John said, the first shutdown, 242 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 7: it was all about giving welfare benefits to illegals. Now 243 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 7: the new one is they want to They literally want 244 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 7: to defund ice. It's just like you know, first they 245 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 7: wanted to defund the police. Now they want to defund ice. 246 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 7: The other thing is this is look, if God forbid 247 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 7: we put the Democrats in power, Look what's going on. 248 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 7: I think the Democrats are making a huge mistake tonight 249 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 7: by having Abigail Spamberger give the response, because look what 250 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 7: she did. She quote unquote ran as a moderate. Now 251 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 7: she's governing as probably the most radical left wing governor 252 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 7: in the history of the state of Virginia. She's come 253 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 7: out supporting over a hundred new tax increases. And that's 254 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 7: the kind of stuff that the Democrats are going to 255 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 7: give us right now. 256 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: And look, the American people are also going to see Democrats, 257 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: many of them don't show up in the room, but 258 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: that's great because he gives room and seats for American 259 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: hockey players, the ones that won goal for the first 260 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: time since nineteen eighty. I'm glad they're going to be 261 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: in the room tonight. They deserve it. They make our 262 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: country proud. And if they're not going to stand at 263 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: all or cloud for the president at all part of 264 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: their strategy, or at least telegraph strategy, what then we 265 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: have another moment where they look like they have no 266 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: conscience or soul because they wouldn't stand for the family 267 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: of Lake and Riley or Joscely and Nungary. 268 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: Good luck with them with that strategy. 269 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 7: It's crazy and it shows the extreamism that we have 270 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 7: right now in the Democratic Party. And you know, one 271 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 7: of the things that's interesting was when we used to 272 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 7: do focus groups during the campaign, we'd ask swing voters. 273 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 7: We'd have swing voters, Okay, what's Joe Biden's greatest accomplishment? 274 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 7: They would laugh at you, They would literally laugh at you, 275 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 7: and they couldn't give you any of his accomplishments. But 276 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 7: with Donald Trump, even some voters that voting Democrat for Congress, 277 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 7: they will give you real accomplishments. When it comes to 278 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 7: Donald Trump, they'll tell you, well, you know, he cut 279 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 7: our taxes, or he secured the border, or he's making 280 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 7: you know, city safer and whatnot. And that's going to 281 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 7: be the contrast tonight. And I think, by the way, 282 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 7: I think the Democrats are making a big mistake by 283 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 7: with their counterprogramming and they're boycotting the State of the Union. 284 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 7: I think it's really bad for the country, and they've 285 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 7: said a horrible precedence. 286 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't really care if they come or not. I mean, 287 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump announced I am here to announce that 288 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: we have come up with a cure for cancer, they 289 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: would sit there. They wouldn't clap, they wouldn't applaud, they 290 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't celebrate a scientific breakthrough that's going to save how 291 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: many millions of lives. 292 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: They wouldn't care. 293 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Anyway, We're going to be watching tonight and we'll see 294 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: what happens. Our coverage begins at eleven o'clock Eastern. But John, 295 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: Jim McLoughlin, we appreciate both of you. 296 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 7: Thank you, Thank you, Suan. 297 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Every time we play that bumper music from John and 298 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: Rassic Superman Hi for fighting. I just love that song. 299 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: And he's a good friend of the program. He apparently 300 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: was in Washington, d C. Didn't tell us why. He 301 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: said he would share it after the fact, but I'm 302 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: going to find out why. Unfortunately, I will miss him 303 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: while I'm in DC tonight for the State of the Union, 304 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: and I wish i'd see him because I think the 305 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: world of him and I love his music. But every 306 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: time we play that bumper music, I want to play 307 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: more of the song because I really like it. Play 308 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of Superman. 309 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 5: I can't stand to fly. I'm not dead nice, I'm 310 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: just now to find the better part of me. I'm 311 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 5: more than a bad a, more than a plane, more 312 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 5: than some prettyfice beside a train. And it's nat. 313 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: Easy to be he me. 314 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 7: Wish the head I could. 315 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 5: Cry fall upon my knees. Final wait life, but a 316 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 5: home I never see. It may sound absurd, but to 317 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: me nive even hears him not to leave. 318 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 4: You don't. 319 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 5: Maybe it's wont you can see even hear us have 320 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 5: the rot to dreams. 321 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 6: It's not easy, super. 322 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: You can BLEEPU. 323 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: Or anything. I can't stand fly. 324 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: By the way, is it you know what's amazing? I mean, 325 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: it's the story of Superman. From Superman's perspective, I mean, 326 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: and he takes it, he turns it into this beautiful song, 327 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: and it's one of those moments. I never really wish 328 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: that I had another life. I love the life that 329 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: God gave me, but every once in a while, I 330 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: wish I could do what he can do and be 331 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: a great musician, songwriter and singer.

So wow, the two Trump cuts 479 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 9: of seventeen and twenty five basically saved me six eight 480 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 9: hundred dollars. 481 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad. Let me tell you something that's real money. Now, 482 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: think of it this way. You know, the average price 483 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: of a gallon of gasoline is down significantly since Donald 484 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: Trump became president. The lowest the last I've read was 485 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: what four years, five years, whatever, whatever period of time 486 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: it is. 487 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 4: And now, do you drive a lot? 488 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 7: Oh? 489 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 9: I chase grandkids? 490 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: Okay, chasing grandkids can be expensive. I don't know what 491 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of car you have. I have a gas powered car, 492 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: and I have my my Tesla. And but all I'm 493 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: saying is when I used to go to the gas 494 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: pump and I can afford it now at this point 495 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: in my life. But when I would fill up my 496 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: car and it was one hundred bucks, it drove me 497 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: up a wall. And I could afford it, it still 498 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: drove me crazy because my mind's in my in my 499 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: mind's eyes still think like I did when I didn't 500 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: have any money.
