Speaker 1: And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Speaker 1: Right down our toll free telephone number. It is eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one Sean, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Let's imagine in our
Speaker 1: mind's eye for just a moment, it's the morning after
Speaker 1: the midterm election. Let's say Democrats get control of I know,
Speaker 1: I'm giving people heart attacks. They're driving their car right now, Linda,
Speaker 1: and they're about to have a heart attack. They get
Speaker 1: control of the House, they get control of the Senate,
Speaker 1: and the DSA, which controls the Democratic Party, is now
Speaker 1: in charge. On the DSA website, you know, praise Fidel Castro.
Speaker 1: You know, it was this one hundredth birthday. That's why
Speaker 1: they were praising them. A thug, a dictator, a murderer.
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that these people on the left
Speaker 1: is this DSA mindset actually thinks that Ostro was a
Speaker 1: good guy.
Speaker 2: Is like, what is.
Speaker 1: Wrong with your thinking? Have you ever seen images out
Speaker 1: of Cuba? Later in this program today we're going to
Speaker 1: talk to people. One guy that grew up in Venezuela
Speaker 1: and how did that work out for the people there?
Speaker 1: They should be one of the richest countries in the world.
Speaker 1: Venezuela has oil reserve reserves that are like second to none.
Speaker 1: They have more than we do in terms of oil,
Speaker 1: in terms of energy, oil gas, COLT. We are the
Speaker 1: number one producer now in the world by far. It's
Speaker 1: not Saudi Arabia, it's not the Middle East.
Speaker 2: We are.
Speaker 1: And so the people now that are openly that are
Speaker 1: elected members, there are two hundred and fifty of them,
Speaker 1: and you know the one in New York saying that
Speaker 1: it should be okay to steal. I think this is
Speaker 1: worth playing again because this lady's such a lunatic and
Speaker 1: the idea and we did a Man on the Street
Speaker 1: last night with Brianna Lyman. Did you see that last night,
Speaker 1: Linda when we were doing TV and all.
Speaker 3: The people that I give her a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: She's much nicer than I would be.
Speaker 1: How would you be if I maybe maybe one day
Speaker 1: we should let you do it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, The problem is I can't trust you to like
Speaker 1: not drop four hundred that problems.
Speaker 2: You can't even give up, you know the I don't
Speaker 2: need to.
Speaker 4: Drop you dumb't even understand that, forget about it.
Speaker 2: I would just know they'll understand that word.
Speaker 4: They don't know nothing.
Speaker 2: No, they don't know nothing. They know nothing, they don't know,
Speaker 2: they don't know nothing.
Speaker 1: But the point is, if you know, I can hear
Speaker 1: you saying you're you're a blanket moron.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a fight with these people.
Speaker 4: I don't know, karate. If you're going to be fine,
Speaker 4: you don't need to get you.
Speaker 2: Don't know karate. You you know you have a burner.
Speaker 2: That's that's I do have a burner.
Speaker 4: It's my last resort, but I will use.
Speaker 2: It all right.
Speaker 1: But okay, in other words, you're creating a huge headache
Speaker 1: and a problem for me.
Speaker 4: I would never. I would never. I promise you I'm
Speaker 4: a good TV.
Speaker 1: No worries, problem, no worries, no worries at all. Them
Speaker 1: on the street, the shoe on Hannity, for the Hannity s.
Speaker 1: I want to know why you're a communist? You know
Speaker 1: two weeks.
Speaker 3: I want to know why your hair has eight colors
Speaker 3: in it? How long did it take you to do that?
Speaker 3: Do you spend all day doing that?
Speaker 2: You have a mirror?
Speaker 4: Is there a mirror in anywhere in proximity to your home?
Speaker 2: So let's play the lady.
Speaker 1: This is a DSA elected official again, two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty elected since twenty nineteen, forty plus on the ballot
Speaker 1: this year. We're seventy seven days from election day, and
Speaker 1: imagine you wake up and we find out, oh we
Speaker 1: now the House of Representatives has gone back to control
Speaker 1: with the Democrats. The Senate is in control of the Democrats.
Speaker 1: What do you think is going to happen?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: Do you think that they mean what they say what
Speaker 1: they put on their website? Now we know that no
Speaker 1: democrat elected Democrat wants to criticize the DSA, even though
Speaker 1: they're written printed agenda on their website praises Castro.
Speaker 2: But let's play this lady. Now it's okay to see.
Speaker 5: Oh so, while we sell our crimes of poverty, people
Speaker 5: who are stealing things like tooth based people who are
Speaker 5: stealing things like, you know, a soap, and that means
Speaker 5: if you're stealing those things, you need them. And we
Speaker 5: are choosing to protect billion dollar companies like CBS and
Speaker 5: Walgreens over the people who are struggling.
Speaker 4: To get by.
Speaker 6: So I would say that the true crime is that
Speaker 6: there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city that
Speaker 6: there are people who can be thrown in jail simply
Speaker 6: for having a biological need.
Speaker 1: I'm so she's justifying stealing and wants to make stealing legal.
Speaker 1: Add that to eliminate the US Senate. Add that to
Speaker 1: you no longer choose your president. Add that to packing
Speaker 1: the courts. Add that to amnesty for illegals and abolishing
Speaker 1: our borders, abolishing eyes, ending all deportation. Add that to
Speaker 1: defunding a world where China, Russia, North Korea, Iran. We're
Speaker 1: going to defund the Department award that is on their
Speaker 1: written website. Eliminate cash bell it's written down. Abolished prisons,
Speaker 1: abolish police, establish their wealth tax, and pass the Green
Speaker 1: New Deal. Public ownership of most corporations, and now they
Speaker 1: are in charge. What do you think happens to the country.
Speaker 4: So I have a question.
Speaker 2: Just yes, you and the in the bank y and
Speaker 2: the peanutgut, All right, go ahead, cue radio. What do
Speaker 2: I expect?
Speaker 4: What I think you like it? I think you enjoy this.
Speaker 4: You know it's spontaneous. You weren't sure it was going
Speaker 4: to happen here.
Speaker 3: I am so I'm curious when someone like that is speaking,
Speaker 3: all of these people are standing there filming her I
Speaker 3: can't imagine every single person's day ending in there is
Speaker 3: thinking like, yeah, I agree with this. So I would
Speaker 3: like to say, okay, so this person committed this crime
Speaker 3: of necessity. It's a new category of crime. By the way,
Speaker 3: I've never heard of it before. But okay, crime of necessity,
Speaker 3: that's fun. Who determines the necessity? Right, it's all the
Speaker 3: what is is? And so now they're saying, well, it's toothpaste,
Speaker 3: it's soap. Okay, Well where does it end? When is
Speaker 3: the crime of necessity? Who determines what's included in the
Speaker 3: necessity crime box? And then if we go to the
Speaker 3: person's house and we do child, oh, exactly, my child
Speaker 3: needs a call.
Speaker 4: I needed AirPods.
Speaker 2: It's a crime in the same need I need new clothes.
Speaker 3: I don't like one hundred percent. This is why it
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense not to mention the fact. And you
Speaker 3: have said this many times and it remains true to
Speaker 3: this moment. There is nowhere I go anywhere in this
Speaker 3: country where there are not help wanted signs. There's no
Speaker 3: reason why you can't unless you don't want to. Everywhere,
Speaker 3: they're everywhere.
Speaker 1: Well, what was sad? And there's this hatred for big corporations.
Speaker 1: Like one guy said, well, it depends if it's a
Speaker 1: if it's a locally owned store, mom and pop shop,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't want that to happen there.
Speaker 2: But if it's Walmart, no problem.
Speaker 1: Ceev have no problem, you know as if well, first
Speaker 1: of all, what do you think the consequences of this are?
Speaker 1: You know, the first consequence probably is they're going to
Speaker 1: have to lock everything up. We have enough stuff locked up,
Speaker 1: especially in New York. I mean, it was getting bad,
Speaker 1: and I've been told by my friends it has only
Speaker 1: gotten worse since I left years ago, where everything's locked
Speaker 1: up when you go shopping, and that's horrible because that means,
Speaker 1: oh I want to get I want to get a razor.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well it's locked up, and then you got
Speaker 1: to find an employee, which is difficult usually in and
Speaker 1: of itself, and then they have to come over and
Speaker 1: they have to have the key and they have to
Speaker 1: unlock it, you know, just so you can buy something
Speaker 1: to prevent all the people from stealing.
Speaker 2: I've had conversations.
Speaker 1: With the people, like when I go to a store,
Speaker 1: even in Florida, there are some places that if I
Speaker 1: go shopping stuff is locked up, which is a pain
Speaker 1: of my you know what, And I'll say to the person, well,
Speaker 1: why do you lock this up? I said that people
Speaker 1: really just walk out with it all the and they're
Speaker 1: like all the time. One guy said to me, I
Speaker 1: wish I could stop them. They won't let me. They
Speaker 1: won't let me confront them. Then not allowed to say word.
Speaker 1: They don't even have security people there. And what is
Speaker 1: the natural consequence of this. The natural consequence of this
Speaker 1: is either these companies go out of business so you
Speaker 1: don't have the convenience of shopping there anymore, or they
Speaker 1: raise their prices, which means that people that actually believe
Speaker 1: in thou shalt not steal, whether they're poor, middle class,
Speaker 1: or wealthy, would never think of stealing something that's not theirs.
Speaker 1: They're going to end up paying higher prices because the
Speaker 1: cost of theft is going to be passed on to
Speaker 1: the consumer, and that means we're all going to pay
Speaker 1: more for everything. This is how bad this gets, you know.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. So we sent Brianna Lineman
Speaker 1: with the Federalist out on the streets.
Speaker 2: Now, granted this.
Speaker 1: Is New York, but take it for what it's worth
Speaker 1: and I just want you to listen to this man
Speaker 1: on the street that we did.
Speaker 2: We played it last night.
Speaker 7: So State assembly Woman Emily Gallagher seemed to suggest that
Speaker 7: stealing should be legalized, and this is what she said.
Speaker 7: Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty. People
Speaker 7: who are stealing things like toothpaste, stealing things like soap.
Speaker 7: And that means if you're stealing those things, you need them.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with her partly?
Speaker 8: I mean, some of these companies already have billions of
Speaker 8: dollars invested in lost and theft protection and they have
Speaker 8: insurance as well. And yeah, if you are stealing basic necessities,
Speaker 8: you'd hope for the most part you need them. I mean,
Speaker 8: you know, do it slyly, if you're good at it whatever.
Speaker 8: I hate the obnoxious stealing. I hate if you make
Speaker 8: a seem but I got it. If it's a small business,
Speaker 8: don't steal from them. If it's Walmart, yeah, sure, go
Speaker 8: for it.
Speaker 4: I don't think I care.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I don't have a big issue with
Speaker 9: stealing small items like that.
Speaker 2: So generic hygiene, that's to me, that's a human right.
Speaker 1: And so if you do not have access to those items,
Speaker 1: for human rights.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6: The problem isn't the people stealing, it's that the fact
Speaker 6: that they have to steal to get that stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't think crime is ever a choice. I think
Speaker 2: it's a decision. I don't think stealing is actually okay. Ever,
Speaker 2: that's one.
Speaker 5: Of the spiritual commandments that shall not steal.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if.
Speaker 1: If you're hungry and no one's giving you a slice
Speaker 1: of bread and there's one in the store, you're gonna eat.
Speaker 2: You're gonna eat.
Speaker 1: I mean it, Just think of what you just heard there.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a big store, what do you
Speaker 1: think the big stores do. The big stores will go
Speaker 1: out of business. And I don't know why big stores
Speaker 1: are hated so much. Why you think you have the
Speaker 1: right to steal other people's stuff and then rationalize it
Speaker 1: and justify, well, well, how far do we take this?
Speaker 1: I need clothing for my children, I need clothing for myself.
Speaker 1: I keep I only have two dresses I need. I
Speaker 1: need a couple of new ones because I've got to
Speaker 1: I've got a date on Friday night.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you get to steal that too. My kids
Speaker 1: need new toys. I think I should be able to
Speaker 1: steal that. I don't think it's fair that my kids
Speaker 1: don't have sporting goods equipment. What happens those stores either
Speaker 1: go out of business, raise their prices. And this is
Speaker 1: the saddest part about liberalism in general and socialism in general,
Speaker 1: is they they feel entitled. They will rationalize and justify
Speaker 1: taking other people's money. Well, if it's a big corporation,
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Walmart. But if it's mom
Speaker 1: and pop, I don't know. I leave the mom and
Speaker 1: pops alone go to go to Walmart. I happen to
Speaker 1: like Walmart. I like Walmart, I like Target, I like
Speaker 1: all those big stores. I like Costco, Sam's Club. I
Speaker 1: like those places. You know why because you can buy
Speaker 1: in bulk and you can pay less money, and you know,
Speaker 1: they have a variety second to none. They've got everything
Speaker 1: you can ever want. You can even furnish a freaking
Speaker 1: home at a Walmart. I know because I did when
Speaker 1: I lived in Alabama and I was a local radio
Speaker 1: host making nineteen grand a.
Speaker 2: Year, So all of that is doable.
Speaker 1: But this this mindset, they will either go out of business,
Speaker 1: the store will close down, they will raise their prices.
Speaker 1: And good people will have to pay it. Somebody's gonna pay.
Speaker 1: And the worst part of all of this is these
Speaker 1: people are only generous with other people's money if they
Speaker 1: really cared about the people that they care so much
Speaker 1: about that they're encouraging to steal and rationalizing away stealing,
Speaker 1: you know, redistributing or taking the money from the.
Speaker 2: Wealthy and all this. And you know they don't have
Speaker 2: a right to this.
Speaker 1: Okay, why don't they donate their money? They're generous with
Speaker 1: everyone else's money. You know, you talk to people, I'll say, well,
Speaker 1: what if somebody's a millionaire, how much of every dollar
Speaker 1: should they be able to keep? Well, ten cents out
Speaker 1: of every dollar. I've had people give me that answer.
Speaker 1: What about billionaires? How much should they be able to
Speaker 1: keep five cents out of every dollar that they make?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Billionaires and millionaires that got money for free. They did
Speaker 1: it by using their brains and working hard. That's how
Speaker 1: you become successful and wealthy in life. And you use
Speaker 1: something called freedom to use the talent that God gave you,
Speaker 1: and then you take risks and you create goods and
Speaker 1: services by working really hard, and then you can't force
Speaker 1: people to buy your goods or use your services. You
Speaker 1: have to be so good that they can't. They can't.
Speaker 1: People can't not have it. I go back to the
Speaker 1: example Nancy Pelosi gated neighborhood one mile away, big open
Speaker 1: air drug you know what do they call those things?
Speaker 1: One of the drug den that they live in. And
Speaker 1: they're urinating on the streets, they're defecating on the streets,
Speaker 1: they're shooting up on the streets a mile away, and
Speaker 1: the other direction is her office. Why doesn't she go
Speaker 1: to all of her millionaire friends in her gated community
Speaker 1: and build out a nice, big homeless shelter, offer psychiatric
Speaker 1: counseling for people that want and needed addiction counseling for people,
Speaker 1: two meals a day, a place to shower and go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. She could do that, but why would
Speaker 1: she ever use her money. She's just gonna want to
Speaker 1: confiscate her from other people. Let me tell you the
Speaker 1: last thing. Billionaires are not dumb. I met a few
Speaker 1: of them in my life. I've talked to them. Their
Speaker 1: stories are always fascinating to me. And billionaires are gonna leave.
Speaker 1: They've left California, They've left New York, They've left Illinois,
Speaker 1: they left New Jersey.
Speaker 2: They're going to leave the.
Speaker 1: Entire country if you pull this crap off. They're not
Speaker 1: going to stay here and live under those conditions. They're
Speaker 1: going to find a place where they have refuge and
Speaker 1: freedom so they can continue to thrive and grow.
Speaker 2: So stupid and short sighted R twenty.
Speaker 1: Five till the top of the hour, eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine to four one Shawn on number. You want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, you know, for I
Speaker 1: lived paycheck to paycheck for a lot of years in
Speaker 1: my early adult life.
Speaker 2: Not fun.
Speaker 1: I never felt poor though I never did. I mean
Speaker 1: there were things I couldn't buy that I would have
Speaker 1: liked to have bought. I mean, never went out to dinner.
Speaker 1: That was a joke. And you know, I make meat
Speaker 1: low for the week, and you know, a big meat low.
Speaker 2: I love meat loaf, still love it. I can eat it.
Speaker 1: I'll make things now for a week. I haven't really
Speaker 1: changed that much. I like to cook a lot of
Speaker 1: my own food. But when I started to save money,
Speaker 1: somebody got a hold of me and said, you know,
Speaker 1: you want to diversify your portfolio. You know I always
Speaker 1: put and they explained how he put part of his
Speaker 1: savings and gold and.
Speaker 2: I listened to it. I don't even remember who it was.
Speaker 2: I wish I did.
Speaker 1: It was in like my mid late twenties when I
Speaker 1: could start saving some money, and I've never regretted it.
Speaker 1: It was good advice for me. I'm glad I did it.
Speaker 1: I still do it today. The company that I do
Speaker 1: business with is gold Co. I think by farther the best.
Speaker 1: Reagan once said, inflation is as violent as a mugger,
Speaker 1: as frightening as an arm robber, and as deadly as
Speaker 1: a hit man. I think we should all listen to Reagan.
Speaker 1: What does that mean for you and your money? What
Speaker 1: does it mean for retirement savings? What does it mean
Speaker 1: for the quality of your life and retirement. Look, I
Speaker 1: just believe in diversification when it comes to money. And
Speaker 1: you know I don't give out financial advice to people,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you this is one thing I never
Speaker 1: regretted doing. And what I love about gold Co is
Speaker 1: they like people to be informed, and that's why they
Speaker 1: give out to anybody. They're free gold and Silver Guide.
Speaker 1: And this way you do your due diligence and you
Speaker 1: begin the process of due diligence. It's a great kit.
Speaker 1: It's filled with critical information. And then you also will
Speaker 1: see if you qualify for an extra ten percent and
Speaker 1: bonus gold and silver just for getting started.
Speaker 2: It's a great deal.
Speaker 1: I'm a customer to go ahead called gold code now
Speaker 1: eight five five eight one five gold eight five five
Speaker 1: eight one five g O l D eight five five
Speaker 1: eight one five g LD two day. All right, seventy
Speaker 1: seven days till election day. And we have one of
Speaker 1: the DSA leaders, Cliff Connolly. He's a member of the
Speaker 1: DSA's National Political Committee. I'm not sure, Linda, if you
Speaker 1: heard this one, you're gonna love this baby. Grip the Constitution.
Speaker 1: This is in June of twenty twenty five. Who's on
Speaker 1: some podcast? The interview is dug up, reported on Monday
Speaker 1: by Natalie Winters, the co host of I Guess Steve
Speaker 1: Bannon's podcast, and Connony bash the Supreme Court of the Land.
Speaker 1: While talking about the Marxist Unity Group, which dubs itself
Speaker 1: a DSA faction on their website, and the want to
Speaker 1: be Revolutionary you know, said that those two groups view
Speaker 1: the Constitution as a few useless pieces of parchment.
Speaker 2: Let's play it.
Speaker 10: The way I phrase it is of the DSA caucuses
Speaker 10: that believe in democracy as an end goal, mug is
Speaker 10: the only one that sees revolution as a necessity to
Speaker 10: get there. And of the Caucasus and that see the
Speaker 10: necessity of revolution, we're the only ones that see democracy
Speaker 10: as the end goal.
Speaker 9: So the two things that we're famous for is are
Speaker 9: committed to a program and our hatred of the United
Speaker 9: States Constitution. And what the program does is it gives
Speaker 9: us a roadmap to revolution, and it gives us the
Speaker 9: obscle that we finally will have to get over tab revolution,
Speaker 9: which is the United States Constitution basis of the United
Speaker 9: States government.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, when this when people say they want to
Speaker 1: do things and they're now getting making more progress than
Speaker 1: ever before.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And that shoplifting is okay if you're a need, but
Speaker 1: liberals themselves don't want to pay for it. You've got
Speaker 1: to start listening to what they're saying, because they're not
Speaker 1: saying it and not meaning it.
Speaker 2: They're saying it and meaning it.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been talking about six gender tell Rico,
Speaker 1: We've been talking about you know, El sayed, We've been
Speaker 1: talking about this guy and that replaced Graham Platin or
Speaker 1: Grand Platner two point zero in uh in Maine, and
Speaker 1: I just I'm trying to just let you know, be
Speaker 1: informed voters. You know, we find out that uh, the
Speaker 1: Tallafreco sixth gender God is non binary, championing the rights
Speaker 1: of women to play men's sport, of men to play
Speaker 1: women's sports, and the right of men to have access
Speaker 1: biological men or trans people that have access to abortion.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that a transman could ever have a
Speaker 1: baby and would need an abortion. And this is in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, this bill. He voted against a resolution
Speaker 1: banning Chinese nationals from buying Texas farmland. This is the
Speaker 1: most insane level of ignorance out of Tallafrico that I've
Speaker 1: ever heard, you know, on top of he's running a
Speaker 1: vegan campaign and doesn't you know in a cattle state
Speaker 1: and in an oil state, he doesn't want any energy independence.
Speaker 1: And his answer was on this issue at you know,
Speaker 1: this opposing this twenty twenty five bill in the Texas
Speaker 1: House aimed at restricting Chinese nationals from buying Texas farmland.
Speaker 1: You know, after saying earlier in his career that radicalized
Speaker 1: white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in the country. Okay,
Speaker 1: tall Ico did support a resolution condemning anti Asian hate
Speaker 1: speech like kung flu and China virus. Radicalize white men
Speaker 1: the greatest domestic threat in our country. We must confront
Speaker 1: racism and misogyny everywhere from the schoolhouse to the White House.
Speaker 1: And I'm proud to sign Representative Gene Wu's resolution condemning
Speaker 1: anti Asian hate speech like kung flu and China virus. Well,
Speaker 1: the Wuhan virus came from China. I guess is it
Speaker 1: wrong to say German measles now not allowed to say
Speaker 1: that anyway. We have primaries in the Free State of Florida.
Speaker 1: People in Alaska, you better pay very close attention, Democrats.
Speaker 1: We have an elected senator is doing a great job,
Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan in Alaska, and President Trump has done so
Speaker 1: much for the state of Alaska since he's got back
Speaker 1: in office. And so they think they're clever they put
Speaker 1: a d other Dan Sullivan on the ballot. I hope
Speaker 1: if you're listening in Alaska, you don't get sucked in
Speaker 1: by the wrong Dan Sullivan.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Wyoming also having primaries today, so we're watching all of
Speaker 1: that we'll have coverage tonight on what comes out of
Speaker 1: that Democrats in South Carolina presidential primary. It's interesting to
Speaker 1: watch the Democratic National Committee's official storyline that the DNC's
Speaker 1: decision to make South Carolina the first Democratic presidential primary
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight isn't about introducing more racial diversity
Speaker 1: into the early contests. They're bypassing Iowa and New Hampshire
Speaker 1: for a reason. It's about keeping power in the hands
Speaker 1: of the party establishment. So let me tell you DSA people,
Speaker 1: they won't confront you publicly, they won't condemn you publicly,
Speaker 1: they'll let you say every crazy thing you want, but
Speaker 1: they're working behind the scenes to screw you all publicly.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty interesting, you know. But you know, this
Speaker 1: socialist insurgency is very, very real. It's a clear and
Speaker 1: present danger. El Sayed aid likens GOP opponents campaign to
Speaker 1: the KKK crossburning over a video with a Ford pickup. Wow,
Speaker 1: by the way, I wonder if we have a shot
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. I really do. Which is where I
Speaker 1: kind of want to go right now. I want to
Speaker 1: kind of give you a little snapshot. We haven't gone over.
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that I read every day. This
Speaker 1: is the stuff that I pay close attention to. And
Speaker 1: we'll have more with John McLachlan at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour our poster.
Speaker 2: He'll join us. We'll get his take on this.
Speaker 1: Look in a mid term election year, it is historically
Speaker 1: usually there've been a couple of exceptions, not many. The
Speaker 1: party in power, meaning the party that has the White House,
Speaker 1: tends to lose seats. We have very slim majorities both
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate. Uh And so this what
Speaker 1: makes this year unpredictable and why I say these are
Speaker 1: uncharted waters is because we've never had a party become
Speaker 1: this radicalized before. We just haven't had it now. If
Speaker 1: you want, the bottom line is I agree with Mark Alprin.
Speaker 1: Republicans can absolutely hold onto the House and the Senate.
Speaker 1: There are not that many House seats that are toss
Speaker 1: up seats. In other words, the jerrymandering of the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Republicans did a little catching up, you know, in the
Speaker 1: lead up to this election. Basically they've they've allowed Democrats
Speaker 1: to own that that strategy and not challenge them on it.
Speaker 1: So this is the first time they're saying, okay, if
Speaker 1: that's how we're going to play the game. We'll play
Speaker 1: it the same way. This is, in many ways, I think,
Speaker 1: going to be a game of inches. I think it's
Speaker 1: very smart that the Republicans and I will be there,
Speaker 1: are having a midterm year convention that's not been done before.
Speaker 1: I think it's very very smart. They can lay out
Speaker 1: the accomplishments of the Trump administration, and we can compare
Speaker 1: and contrast the two parties. Usually out of presidential you know,
Speaker 1: when you when you have the convention. Presidential conventions usually
Speaker 1: there's a bounce afterwards because people hopefully will watch. But
Speaker 1: if you look at how many seats are really in
Speaker 1: the toss up category, it's anywhere between twenty five and
Speaker 1: if you really want to go to the high side, thirty.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that many that are that are
Speaker 2: toss up.
Speaker 1: Of those let's say we'll call it of those twenty
Speaker 1: five to thirty seats twenty Right now, GOP candidates are
Speaker 1: are up by three points or more. You have, for example,
Speaker 1: you know, you have some Can's pulling between you know,
Speaker 1: seven and ten percent. The rest over ten percent of
Speaker 1: the solidly likely Republicans, which is about one hundred and
Speaker 1: nineties or so seats and then we get to the
Speaker 1: So it is very doable. The messaging has to be
Speaker 1: right and people have to be made aware. One advantage
Speaker 1: Republicans have this year, and it's never their advantage. They
Speaker 1: have more money than they've ever had in any midterm
Speaker 1: election season ever, and it's money that only they can
Speaker 1: spend on the elections.
Speaker 2: They have more money than ever before.
Speaker 1: So if they do the right thing, they should spend
Speaker 1: the money now it would be a pretty amazing I mean,
Speaker 1: so what it means is you have to get to
Speaker 1: too eighteen.
Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. To eighteen is the magic number.
Speaker 1: And if they win these toss up seats, you know,
Speaker 1: you want to get as big a majority as you
Speaker 1: possibly can. Let's say they wont say twenty seven, that
Speaker 1: would bring them to two twenty five. If they won,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty, it would bring them to two twenty eight.
Speaker 1: That that then you have a solid majority. Then it's
Speaker 1: then you can do a lot more. That's why they
Speaker 1: all matter. Now as far as the path to the Senate,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what states I'm watching and watching closely,
Speaker 1: obviously Michigan, Mike Rogers, Iowa. You know, Jony Ernst is retiring,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a little bit more difficult, but
Speaker 1: definitely winnable.
Speaker 2: Iowa should go red.
Speaker 1: Alaska is you know, unfortunately they're playing tricks in Alaska.
Speaker 2: I mentioned about Dan Sullivan.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why they're at least in the polling
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing is not a bigger lead in Ohio.
Speaker 1: That is something to pay attention to, and probably areas
Speaker 1: where the messaging needs to be made right and the
Speaker 1: message needs to get out more. Then you have Texas
Speaker 1: and you know, of course you have Paxton running against Telefreco. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then we've been you know, following Maine and watching
Speaker 1: that race very very closely. Also you have Graham Plattner
Speaker 1: two point zero, you know, in Troy Jackson, and I
Speaker 1: hope Troy Jackson. You know, we keep hearing that he's
Speaker 1: got a vicious temper, allegations that he threw a water
Speaker 1: bottle out a woman. One guy said we played it
Speaker 1: yesterday that he witnessed this guy slap a woman with
Speaker 1: an open hand. I don't know what the hell's going
Speaker 1: on with Democrats in Maine, but it's pretty bad. And
Speaker 1: then on the outside shot, you know, let's see what
Speaker 1: happens in New Hampshire. I think New Hampshire might be
Speaker 1: a little bit more in play than people are given
Speaker 1: a credit for right now. But you know, if you
Speaker 1: now in the next seventy seven days, you know, but understand,
Speaker 1: every one of you listening to my voice, whether you
Speaker 1: live in Michigan, Iowa, Alaska, Ohio, New Hampshire, Texas, and
Speaker 1: Maine is irrelevant. It's relevant if you live there, then
Speaker 1: we definitely need your vote. But for everybody else in
Speaker 1: the country, you have an elected reperive and that elected
Speaker 1: representative will determine whether or not Republicans retain control the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. And that means control and prevention of
Speaker 1: this radicalized agenda of the DSA that now controls the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. So it matters. And then it's a matter
Speaker 1: of how much of a I mean, I'd like to
Speaker 1: see a little margin for once. And I know it's
Speaker 1: hard because you know ninety five percent of incumbents tend
Speaker 1: to get re elected. But you can't set this out
Speaker 1: this election. There's too much on the line this election.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I've made a mistake in my career.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know I've said too many times this is
Speaker 1: the most important mid term in our lifetime. I meant it,
Speaker 1: but nothing like this. Two hundred and fifty elected DSA
Speaker 1: members and since twenty nineteen, forty plus new ones on
Speaker 1: the ballot this year.
Speaker 2: I mean they wanted that.
Speaker 1: They're saying, yeah, we'd like to get rid of the
Speaker 1: Constitution and the presidents in the Senate and packed the courts,
Speaker 1: and no borders and you know, no police, and it
Speaker 1: goes on and on. I give you the list of
Speaker 1: every day. So yeah, especially Michigan, but especially Iowa, Alaska, Ohio,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Texas and main Now usually in presidential election years,
Speaker 1: you're gonna and by the way, Georgia and North Carolina,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see better numbers out of Georgia. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see better numbers out of North Carolina. North
Speaker 1: Carolina would be a lost seat to Tom Tillis is leaving.
Speaker 1: And you know they have a former governor the Democrats
Speaker 1: do running and he's going to be hard to beat.
Speaker 1: He's run statewide a number of times. Name recognition is
Speaker 1: through the roof. You have Mike Watley running for the Republicans,
Speaker 1: you have Roy Cooper running as the Democrat.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: I wish that that Governor kemp Ran in Georgia, he
Speaker 1: would absolutely crush us off and his obvious presidential ambitions
Speaker 1: that he has. So you know, that's where I see
Speaker 1: it right now. This is the stuff that I go
Speaker 1: through every day. But I don't want to bore you
Speaker 1: with but you know, we'll go into a little more detail.
Speaker 1: John McLachlan's going to join us at the top of
Speaker 2: The hour and we'll talk to him more about it.
