And why would you have 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.320 disowned me? He said that to me today. That was 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:20.880 very mean. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.160 Well, if you want to be a trader to God 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.640 and country and go dying with Chucky and Camilla, that's. 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:30.440 What you deserve. I'm not going to be a trader 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.920 to my country if I go to a state dinner. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.159 Although I will tell you this, I don't believe in 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.839 bowing to anybody. You know, the tradition is yeah, that's right, 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.600 And well, I would not have bowed to the king. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.960 I would have shaken his handended. 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.400 I got so many emails yesterday about us playing this 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.360 and people saying I should have played My Country Tis 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.760 of Thee instead of this. I can't. I don't even 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:58.800 know where people get my email. 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.959 There in the fact that this triggers you is more 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.280 entertaining to me than anything else. I had a lot 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.240 of friends, a lot of people from Fox one to it. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.800 I was invited to it, but I you know, I've 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.440 worked to do. I mean I did the radio show, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.080 I did a podcast and then I did TV. I mean, 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.800 I've worked to do and I had covered last night. 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.319 Chuckie hasn't worked in a long time. Boss, he's he 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.760 can't relate, you know, he said around people's. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.520 I mean, look, I mean, can any of us relate 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.520 to a king? No. I did have our friend Piers 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.280 morganon afterwards, and you know, all of my criticisms of 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.720 Europe is a continent and Great Britain in particular, I 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.440 did bring up with him and I you know, we 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.920 have Neville Chamberlain's Starmer now that wouldn't even allow our 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.440 planes to land at bases in the UK, which to 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.920 me is unforgivable. And I think between the UK and 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.400 France and Spain and Italy and other countries, I think 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.480 the NATO alliance is headed for, you know, a lapse. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.120 And I don't think that we're going to pay two 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.120 thirds of the freight moving forward. And then I brought 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.760 up the issue of Sharia courts. He did not really 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.639 dispute anything that I was saying, although he said, well, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.720 they don't really have any lawful recognition in Great Britain. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.280 I would argue in the world, if you're separating yourself 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.320 from a country that you have assimilated, that you refuse 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:27.320 to assimilate into, it's a problem because you are clinging 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.560 to you have no desire to be a part of 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.000 the country that you have now chosen to be in. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.320 And I think that's a massive problem. And I think 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:42.480 unfettered illegal immigration and even legal immigration without assimilation is 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.760 going to end up biting them all the you know what. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.640 And I also think that you know, on top of 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.680 embracing radical socialism and climate alarmism, has hurt these countries. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.359 And I think neglecting national security and national defense issues, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.519 not paying their fair share to NATO, I think there's 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.400 going to be a very dear price to pay. I 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.919 think as a continent, the continent of Europe is in 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.799 a precipitous decline and I'm not sure if they're even 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.320 going to be able to save it. And it's not 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.320 just sharia courts in Great Britain, it's no go zones 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.359 in France and other parts of Great Britain. I think 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.080 it's going to be a big problem. I don't wish 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.320 it for them. We have had a special relationship with 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:30.519 Great Britain for many, many years, and ideally it would continue. However, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.880 it's not ideal when you have a defense alliance. And 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.240 at one point during the conversation, you know, Piers brought 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.440 up well, I think one of the reasons that Neville 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.560 Chamberlain Starmer didn't engage or want any part of the 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.320 conflict with Iran is because of the way the Iraq 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.040 War turned out. And I said, well, number one, it's 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.000 a different president. Number two, he has a different doctrine. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.880 Number three, he's not four or forever wars? And number four, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.800 where is the moral clarity of Great Britain standing up 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.720 against the number one state sponsor of terror? And that 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.280 part really frustrated me, And I said, wouldn't a more 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:15.320 appropriate analogy be negating mitigating the threat of Nazi Germany 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.360 before millions of people died. And it's almost like the 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.440 continent of Europe learned nothing from World War Two. I 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:26.280 think it's more appropriate. We have some news today as 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.359 a direct consequence of this morning Supreme Court decision against 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.240 racial jerry mandering. Republicans now in eight states have a 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.640 chance to redraw more than a dozen congressional districts, all 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.040 of which are held by Democrats, and its effects will 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.919 be felt far beyond Congress and maps for state legislatures, 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:52.359 county boards, city councils, countless other government bodies have since 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.040 the Voting Rights Act passage in nineteen sixty five, they 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.839 have been required to comply with this act, and the 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.440 House of Representative now will experience the most high profile 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.520 impact of today's Supreme Court ruling. This is a big deal. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.520 If you believe in equal justice, equal application of our laws, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:16.320 you don't draw congressional districts based on people's race anyway. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.280 Giving out closely, you know, the divided chamber is in 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.440 the House. Alterations to a handful of seeds could tip 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.720 the balance of power. So we'll see how this ultimately 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.440 plays out. But this is the final say so here. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.960 We'll get to this later with John Solomon and Greg Jarrett. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:40.000 James Comy turned himself in at a Virginia courthouse indicted 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:44.320 presidential you know, eighty six forty seven suspect. James Comy 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.839 decided not to wait until the squad cars showed up 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.200 at his house this morning to haul him off to 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.600 police headquarters. He turned himself in at a Virginia courthouse. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.559 I guess he probably wanted to avoid a purp walk. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.640 But you know, there's no word as to whether he 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.200 was a imediately put in leg irons, which is what 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.159 called me Chris Ray and their FBI did to Trump 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.200 advisor Peter Navarro and anyway, call me turned himself in 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.320 federal authorities Alexandria, Virginia. But you know, I will tell 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.400 you this, and I don't want to. I don't want 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.919 to dismiss the importance of this. And I think it 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.080 was a great lie that called me told isn't this interesting? 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.799 Wasn't that the post that he put up or something 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.240 to that effect? Isn't this interesting? Eighty six forty seven? 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.919 The guy's a former FBI director. He knows exactly what 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.160 he was posting on Instagram when he put that up. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.520 He knows exactly what it means. And you know, oh, 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.560 I have no idea what this means. I've none and whatsoever. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.920 I don't know what it means. Uh, yeah, you can 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.920 put it, put it up if you want to play it. Sure. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.800 I don't know if you did this on purpose just 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.000 to get attention here, but. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.800 You you in this Instagram Instagram you grammed this. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:54.960 You were walking on the beach. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:55.760 What happened? 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.919 You walking on the beach and you saw this on 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.000 the beach. Yeah, my wife and I, Patres, were walking 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.080 on the beach and saw those numbers in shells on 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:03.400 the beach. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.880 And you didn't do this. Somebody else did that. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.640 Yeah, somebody else did it. We were on a walk 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.119 preparing for this week roll out of my book. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.320 Ye. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.280 She looked at it and said, why'd someone put their 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:12.280 address in the sand? 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:12.960 All right? 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.840 And then we stood at it trying to figure looked 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.080 at it trying to figure out what it was. And 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.400 she'd long been a server in restaurants, and she said, 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.120 you know what I think it is. I think it's 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.600 a reference to restaurants when you had eighty six something 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:24.680 in a restaurant that's. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.840 Off the menu. Yeah, I said, no, I remember. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.640 I was a kid. You'd say eighty six to get 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.680 out of a place. This place stinks, it's eighty six. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.920 I was a bartender. You would eighty six a customer 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.640 if they were getting drunk, like that's eighty six on 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.520 this didn't give them a low proof alcohol or something 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:37.840 like that. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.320 Yeah, And so I said, I think it's a clever 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.160 political message, and she said you should take a picture 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.840 of it. I said sure, and then she said you 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:50.080 should instagram that and boom. 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.320 I don't believe that for a second. That's my own 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.240 personal point of view, mister higher honor. I think you 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.640 knew exactly what he was doing. So where to believe 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.640 that the term eighty six somebody eighty six forty seven 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.880 Donald Trump being the president, that he had no earthly 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.400 idea what that meant. I just don't buy it. But 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.880 I just want to remind people this is not, you know, 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.280 that's the low hanging fruit as it relates to Jim Comey, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.200 mister higher honor, It's not the stuff that I think 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.800 that ultimately he's going to have to worry about. Wall 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.040 Street Journal reporting today that the Iranian economy has descended 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.080 into a death spiral. Iran's economy now in a full 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:35.240 blown collapse. They are reporting war has imposed a heavy 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.800 cost on the Iranian economy. Widespread unemployment. We've talked about this, 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120 half the workforce is out of work, two hundred percent 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.360 inflation rate, their currency is worth zero, soaring food prices, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.960 prolonged internet shutdowns. It is slammed online businesses. The war 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.600 now has thrown about a million people out of work, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.200 more than that directly, another million indirectly, according to estimate 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.160 cited by Iran Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, which I 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.199 don't believe. I think it's far worse than that, as 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:10.079 others have estimated the cost of living up nearly double. Now. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.880 The President did make the comment he's instructed AIDS to 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.920 prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, But I am 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.600 told that the President's patience on Iran is running very, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.920 very thin, and I would not at all be surprised 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.600 if he brings back military strikes on top of the blockade, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.640 on top of the anticipated now end of I mean, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.640 they're running out of storage for their oil. What does 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.280 that mean? That means they're oil producing wells will have 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.240 to be shut down. What does that mean? That means 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.240 that whatever level of production they may be at, if 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.360 they reconstitute those wells in the future, at best you 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.959 can hope for maybe fifty to sixty percent production rates 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.240 of what it once was once you shut down a well, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.719 once you cap that well, experts have told me, and 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.680 I've read it, you know, extensively that the production goes 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.079 down significantly, you know, but this is you know, a 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.200 republic that's been at war since its inception. But I 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.080 think the combination of this blockade, you know, what it's 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.960 like for Iran's economy to be shut down, coupled with 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.560 more military strikes strategic ones, I think will be the 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.880 end of it. But we'll see. But there's an interesting 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.920 side note to all of this. OPEK and their stranglehold 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.000 over the global economy is now finally coming apart at 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.520 the seams, which I think is a good thing in 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.000 the end. There was a good New York Post editorial 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.000 about this today and the efforts of the president both 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.000 home and abroad, the result will be freer markets long term, 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:55.120 lower energy prices, less debt for developing nations. And when 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.160 on Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, you know, along with 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.760 frustrated that are frustrated with OPEC's limits on their oil production, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.480 declared their intent to leave the consortium within days to 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.720 be free to meet demand on their own terms. That's 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.480 going to end up being great for consumers because the 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.640 production and price of oil should be set by supply 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.800 and demand, in other words, global demand, not the whims 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.200 of people that are organizing so they can artificially increase 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.320 the price of such now. Opek began flexing their muscles 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.240 after the yan Kapor War that was nineteen seventy three, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.840 when it refused to sell oil to any nation that 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.920 supported Israel, and the ensuing oil shocks saw a price 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.200 as triple. I mean, Linda, you don't remember this when 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.920 I was growing up. I mean during the Carter years 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.200 have we had to wait in line just to be 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.600 able to fill up our car. It was terrible, It 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:51.120 was awful. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.800 It was like what we did with toilet paper during COVID. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:54.360 Same thing. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.080 No, that's what you did with toilet paper. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.200 I didn't do that, No, no, no, I didn't lose 0:11:59.200 --> 0:11:59.440 my mind. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.920 Had I got all the toilet paper I wanted during COVID? 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.760 Everything I needed, everything I wanted. Just so happened. My 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:11.280 father knew a gas station owner, and this guy blockaded 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.240 an area where you could just sneak your car in, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.280 fill up your gas tank, and get out of there. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.960 And he only used it for his regular customers, which 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.040 was a pretty cool thing for us. We didn't have 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.280 to wait on those long lines. People would wait online 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.800 and they'd be you know, at most allowed to you know, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.400 put five dollars worth of gas in their car. I mean, 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.400 oh god, who wouldever want to go back to those days? 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.360 Thank God I have my Tesla just in case I 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.040 got I got a gas car, and I got an 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.000 electric car. An electric car goes much faster than the 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:47.440 gas powered car. So we'll see what happens. Obama's gaff 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.679 about the White House Correspondence dinner shooter Cole Allen is 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.800 the latest in the former president's legacy of lies. And anyway, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.480 his post presidency has kind of been a bit of 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.559 a disaster. Did you read all the stories online about 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.640 him and him and Michelle and him and Michelle and 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.200 the kids. I mean, it doesn't sound like the greatest 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.440 emerging image picture that you would expect. But anyway, we 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.280 haven't got the details of the motives behind the shooter, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:22.040 he said, began Obama's you know, Sunday evening statement about 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.400 the gunman. He said, except by the time Obama got 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.560 around to acknowledging the attack, the entire world knew why 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.360 Cole Thomas Allen had attempted to storm that ballroom where 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.320 President Trump and much of the administration were breaking bread 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.800 with the quote fourth of State, meaning the liberal legacy 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.960 media mob. And anyway, I am no longer willing to permit, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.560 you know. And he goes on and attacking President Trump 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.240 and his manifesto, et cetera. He's getting hammered because of 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.520 what he said. You know, James Carville, he can't be 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.800 the Antichrist. He's too dumb. An Antichrist would be smarter. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.920 I can see that the left has really calm down 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.320 their rhetoric in light of what happened Saturday night. That 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.199 didn't take long at all. Can't make that up either. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.959 The FBI has rated over twenty locations in Minnesota as 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.640 the DOJ's investigation into Somali welfare fraud has now hit 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.400 the ground running. We'll give you details on that coming up. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.800 All right, eight nine to four one, Sean, if you 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.080 want to be a part of the program, All things simple, man, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.920 Bill O'Reilly. We have Greg Jarret John Solomon today much 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.080 more now. I told you about the Supreme Court ruling 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.040 this morning. This is a big deal as the Supreme 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:40.080 Court decision against racial jerry mandering is probably going to 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:45.720 have a huge impact on the twenty twenty six elections, 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:50.280 especially in the state of Florida. Anyway, as a consequence 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.080 of this decision, Republicans in eight states now have a 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.760 chance to redraw more than a dozen congressional districts, all 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.240 of which are held by Democrats. Now, Governor Ron De 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.760 Santis in my free state of Florida has already said 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.880 that he plans to redraw these districts, and he could 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.800 very well result in four or more seats that would 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.840 be safer for Republican candidates. This is going to be 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.640 a big deal, especially in light of the fact, as 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.640 I told you, I didn't think what happened in the 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:25.000 Commonwealth of Virginia would ever hold constitutional or judicial review 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.400 or constitutional muster. But anyway, the impact of this is 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:33.520 far beyond congress maps for state legislatures and county boards 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.320 and city councils and other governmental bodies. You know, since 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.240 the Voting Right Rights Act was passed in nineteen sixty five, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.480 the Civil Rights Act in nineteen sixty four. By the way, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.920 historically it was Lending Me Johnson that relied on Republicans 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.600 to get this over the finish line, because people like 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.360 al Gore's father and people like Robert former Klansman KKK 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.520 Byrd and Joe Biden, who wants partner with the former 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.960 Klansmen to stop the integration of public schools. Just a 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.520 little history. It took Republicans to get the sixty four 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.200 Civil Rights Act passed. The Voting Rights Act passed in 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.600 sixty five. But anyway, the House of Representatives now will 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:17.680 experience the most high profile impact of today's Supreme Court ruling, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.240 and given how closely divided the Chamber is, this could 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.920 have a big impact. What does it mean, especially in 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.000 the state of Florida. Well, it's too early to determine, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.920 but I think in light of what Governor DeSantis has said, 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.720 this is probably going to be a state that is 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.720 highly watched by everybody, and I think probably the most impactful. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.840 Jim Schwartzel is with us. He's in the nineteenth District, 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.360 which you know would comprise Naples and Benita Springs, and 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.800 I get I assume places like Fort Myers as well 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.040 is with us. Sir, welcome back to the program. Glad 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.960 you're with us. How are you hi? 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.760 Thank you? Sean. Yes, District nineteen is all of southwest 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.200 Florida from Cape Cory to Naples, Florida, your former home. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.840 Yeah, I lived there. I had a place in Southwest 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:11.119 Florida for over twenty plus years and love Southwest Florida. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.760 I can tell you the best restaurants in Naples on 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.560 Fifth Avenue Chops, Regina's, and if you want the best 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.119 people watching in the history of mankind, go to the 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:25.800 Blue Martini, which I'm sure you don't frequent. I do not, No, 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.399 most normal people would not. But anyway, so what do 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.359 you think the impact of this is going to be 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.159 and what do you think the Tallahassee impact is going 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.960 to be on this? On top of it, well. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.800 I'm pleased to report that the Florida House and the 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.520 Florida Senate just passed it. So the redistricting bill is 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.680 making its way to Governor DeSantis's desk. And I'm really 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.760 proud of both President Trump and for Governor DeSantis for 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.399 calling the special session and pushing this. I think the 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.840 ruby red state of Florida will be properly reflected once 0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.720 this is done. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.760 Yeah. I mean, we have a big radio presence there, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.600 as you know, on ninety two to five Fox News Radio, 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:10.679 which does extraordinarily well, and people in the area really 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.359 love news, talk, information, et cetera. And I think that 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.040 the people in Southwest Florida are definitely going to pay 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.040 attention to this, and I think it could be more 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.760 impactful than people have any idea about. What do you think. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.359 Well, that's why I started ninety two five Fox News, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.640 and you know, I'm proud to be one of your 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.959 first affiliates in the country. And I remember when you 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.800 even recorded, not recorded, but when you did some of 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.880 your shows live from our studios in Fort Myers. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.760 I do, and I still remember Devote Cadillac. I think 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.960 I had more Cadillac Escalades than anybody in the history 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.200 of buying Cadillacs, because I bought one after another, after another, 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.560 after another after another. And they're great people down at 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.159 the vote, and I know they're a big advertiser of yours. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.639 Let's talk about I mean, the beauty. It's so interesting 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.240 because Florida to me, is kind of bifurcated. You have 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.280 in Southwest Florida, you have more people from the Midwest. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.160 In Southeast Florida, you tend to have more people from 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.400 the Northeast. There's way too many former New Yorkers and 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.640 people from New Jersey in Southeast Florida. There's a big 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.840 difference there is. 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.040 Yeah, we have a lot more of people that are 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:34.360 leaving the sanctuary cities of Chicago and Minneapolis and so 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.600 forth and coming to Southwest Florida. And we're happy to 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:42.080 have those strong Republicans that are distraught with their former 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:43.119 hometowns here. 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.159 You know, the only thing I say to people, and 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.320 I don't care if you come from the Midwest, and 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.119 by the Midwest I mean Ohio and Indiana and even Illinois. 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.840 You have people you know that are moving to Southwest 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.280 Florida or people that are from the Northeast that move 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.159 to southeast Florida. You know, the only thing I have 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.480 to say is there should be one mandatory requirement. Don't 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.879 bring your dumb liberal policies with you and ruin Florida 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.960 the way you ruin the state you left. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.000 We've had since COVID, we've added over a million and 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:19.200 a half Republican registered voters. So it's the states now 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.680 ruby red and getting stronger every single day. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.760 Now, have you gotten the support of the governor or 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.720 where do you stand with that? 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.480 Well, the governor is not weighing in on this race. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.119 What I'm doing is I'm supporting Byron Donald's and his 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.600 race to be our next governor. He will be our 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.480 next governor, and. 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.240 He's he's going to win those race hands down. I 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.360 haven't even paid that much attention to him because it's 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.440 like a no brainer, yep. 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.040 And we have a strong local, rock solid conservative like 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.960 myself to to support President Trump like Byron did. 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:59.720 Yeah, there's no doubt. Do you worry at all about 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.119 where we are at this moment? 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:02.360 Now? 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:07.040 I'm making the argument that the issues that will impact 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.800 us in November have not even happened yet. In other words, 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.439 if the war with the RAN winds down, if we 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.040 have enough runway time for the presidents, He's laid an 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.399 economic foundation for the country. We're talking about trillions of 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.880 dollars in manufacturing investment, the largest tax cuts in history, 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.680 energy dominance, all of these things combined. Once the war 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.560 with the RAN has has had the time to wind 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.000 down a little bit, I expect all of those policies 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:36.960 now we'll begin to kick in, and I think people 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.680 will see a significant increase in economic growth in the country, 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.760 although they're feeling it already. I mean, the average American, 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.119 I think is getting thirty five hundred dollars more in 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.879 their refund check than they were getting prior to the 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.080 one big Beautiful Bill. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:58.760 I agree, and even further so, what this Iran war 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.919 has done is it's a fracture in the Middle East. 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.919 We're seeing the alliance that used to all be together, 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.399 where you had all the Muslim countries from Iran to 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.479
