1
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Happy Friday. Welcome to the latest edition

2
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: of Justin News. No noise yet we made it to Friday.

3
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: How about that. I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting to

4
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: you as always from the nation's capital, Washington, DC. As

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: I've been reminding all week my amazing coast, Amanda, you

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: can be out of town for a couple of weeks.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Don't worry. We got you covered. Starting with a pretty

8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: busy day for President Trump, he weighed in on two

9
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: very big issues earlier today as he went to go

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: meet the soldiers who carried out that brazen arrest of

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela at Fort Bragg. He got to

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: celebrate with their children and their wives and spouses. It's

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: a remarkable day. But as he spoke, he answered some

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: questions from the press outside of Air Force One, and

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: he was asked about the significant military presence that has

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: been moved toward Iran and what Iran could do to

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: avoid an attack. He wasn't subtle. Here's how the President answered.

18
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: What did n do is to avoid attack?

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: They give us a deal that they should have given

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: us the first time. They give us the right deal.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: We won't do that, but you know, historically they haven't

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: done that. They I will say they wanted to talk,

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: but so far they do a lot of talking and.

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: No action in changeing Iran.

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Well, it seems like that would be the best thing

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 2: that could happen. For forty seven years they've been talking

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: to talking to talk. In the meantime, we've lost a

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: lot of lives while they talk.

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: That would be the best thing that could happen, the

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: regime change. A president pretty clearly telegraphing what he'd like

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: to be an outcome, and if not, he needs to

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: get a real deal. That was pretty important. President also

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: waited on the big debate around voteriety. This is something

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I know personally he's very, very concerned. And as we

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: reported yesterday, the House passed new Save America Act to

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: and moved it over to the Senate, and the President

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: was not shy about the message for Democrats who refused

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: to back any kind of voter id riding on true

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,279
Speaker 1: social the Democrats refused to vote for voter id or citizenship.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: The reason is very simple. They want to continue to

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: cheat in elections. That was not what our founding fathers desired.

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I have searched the depths of legal arguments not yet

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: articulated or vetted on the subject, and will be presenting

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: an irrefutable one in the very near future. He's also

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: pushing hard to get Republicans to join in and get

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: rid of that filibuster, or turn it from a lazy

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: filibuster too having to stand on to your feet to

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: your drop, but filibuster which actually would give Republicans the

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the bill pass sometime this summer. Meanwhile,

50
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: little bit of activity accountability in the Court's former CNN

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: host Don Lemon pleaded not guilty the charges of conspiracy

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshippers earlier today.

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: That those charges, of course, stem from a protest that

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: disrupted a Minnesota church service over the Trump administration's immigration

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: crackdown in that state. The former news anchor has argued

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: that he was covering the protests in Minnesota as an

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: independent journalist. The government not buying that argument, all right.

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: One last thing, the economy. It continues to outperform expectations.

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: Yesterday we told you one hundred and fifty thousand new jobs,

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: way above expectation. Today, inflation came in at a cool

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: two point four percent below what was expected. The Trump

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: economy is reving up and inflation is drawing down, two

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: very important dynamics. We'll talk a little bit about that

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: with Congress Coome and Claudia Tenny in the second block

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: of the show. But first I want to get back

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: to the issue of election integrity. As we reported a

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, the FBI rated the Fulton County

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: warehouse where the twenty twenty election ballots for Georgia were.

69
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: There is a very clear understanding now what the FBI

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: was looking at. Weather state, excuse me, county election officials

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: did not follow the law, did unfollow the rules, and

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: how they counted recounted ballots, the FBI saying they had

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: corroborated ballots were missing, they had corroborated that ballots had

74
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: been double scanned and counted, that they had corroborated other

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: irregularities that log were called conspiracy theories in Georgia. They're

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: no longer conspiracy theories because they've been proven by the FBI.

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: In fact, Fulton County executives acknowledge the FBA those things happen.

78
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Right now, we're going to turn to Georgia State Senator

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: and a Kennedy for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. Greg Dolazog, Senator.

80
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Great to have you on the show today.

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me on. Always good to see

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: all right.

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: I remember back in twenty twenty one when I was

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: using FOYA to get the Carter Jones report and we

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: learned a little bit about the fact that Brad Rafsenberger's

86
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: office knew there were a lot of problems in Fulton County.

87
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I remember when we got the ballots with spoiled ballots

88
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that still got counted and people say, oh, that's all

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory. The FBI in that affidavit they kind

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: of seemed to say, we've corroborated some of those things,

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: and they're not conspiracy theories anymore.

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: They're not piracy theories at all. Maybe my favorite story

93
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: from the twenty twenty election that showed how out of

94
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: control Fulton County was as there is a gentleman, the

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: chief operating officer for the Secretary of State's office, by

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: the name of Gabriel Sterling, and he had bought a

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: new home just a couple of years before twenty twenty,

98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: and a piece of mail came in asking a lady

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: who he had bought his home from a couple of

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: years ago to turn in her absentee ballot. So Sterling

101
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: had an illegal vote from cast from his own home.

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: He went to Fulton County to challenge the eligibility of

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: that voter, and a Democrat nominee of the Fulton County

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: Board of Elections actually voted against his challenge, even though

105
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: he certified the woman had moved out of state years

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: prior to the twenty twenty election. Now, who knows how

107
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: many times that happened in Georgia, but we know that

108
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: the Georgia twenty twenty election, not only in Fulton County

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: but certainly in Fulton County was a mess.

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then by the warning signs about Fulton County

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: have been in place for a decade, the state has

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: never been able to get it corrected. I want to

113
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the Democratic argument. They went

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: from all this all conspiracy theory to who cares that

115
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: all this now gets corroborated because it wouldn't have changed

116
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: the outcome. Now we're never going to know what changes

117
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the outcome, and it doesn't matter because President Trump is

118
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: president again. But It does matter that the people that

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: administer our elections do it in a fair way, do

120
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: it in a way that's compliant with the law, do

121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: it in a competent way. What are the opportunities right now,

122
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: at this moment for the federal government, state government, and

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: voters to press a Culton County to do a better

124
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: job in administering elections.

125
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: John I have called for the state to take over

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 3: the Fulton County elections. We passed the law in twenty

127
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: twenty one that set the triggers in place for the

128
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: state Election Board to take over the elections for a

129
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: temporary period of time if a county proves they're incapable

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: of following Georgia law. And if there's ever a county

131
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: has proven it, it's Fulton County Today. Fulton County has

132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: hundreds of people still under vot rules that were born

133
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: in the year nineteen hundred. They have thousands of people

134
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: registered to vote at illegal voting locations, parking lots, homeless

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 3: shelters that have been closed for a decade, ups stores,

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: storage units. It is time for the state to step

137
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: in before the twenty twenty sixth general election to ensure

138
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: that we can have a free and fair election.

139
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: So important. It's a simple thing, and it'll only take

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years Pobbly to clean things up. Now

141
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: bad Rasenberger for a period of time, the Secretary of

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: State kind of proposed that you seem to drop back

143
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: off of that with the State Election Board at some point.

144
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Is there renewed interest, do you feel some momentum or

145
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: is there still inertia to this idea.

146
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: I hope the State Election Board discusses it when they

147
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: meet next week. I was the first elected official to

148
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: call for that, but I certainly talked to other colleagues

149
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: of mine in the General Assembly, and there is certainly

150
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: on the Republican side. The people that are paying attention

151
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: to this know the Fulton County is a problem, and

152
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: they know that the only remedy that we have is

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: the State Election Board coming in. So we're going to

154
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: have conversations with those State Election Board members and we

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: hope that they act boldly and quickly and begin the

156
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: process of getting these people off of these voting roles.

157
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: If you have dirty voting roles, you're going to have

158
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: dirty elections, especially when you look at mail in balance.

159
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Now, that's an interesting dynamic too, because the Trump administration,

160
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: a Republican administration, has been trying to get a look

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: at a Georgia's voter role so that they could make

162
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: sure that everything's cleaning up. And Secretary of State Brad

163
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Rathsenberger opposing his own Republican administration here in Washington doing that.

164
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: What's behind that? Why wouldn't a Georgia state official who's

165
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: in the same party's President Trump not want the government's

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: federal governments helping cleaning up that voter role.

167
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: It's really clear, and Georgia law this is allowed. There's

168
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: a specific car about to hand this data over to

169
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: the federal government. Raffensberger is lying to Georgians and saying

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: that it's not lawful. It is lawful. And think about

171
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: this for a second. He doesn't want to give social

172
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: security numbers over to the federal government for fear of

173
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: what may happen. Well, who issued the social Security numbers?

174
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: It was the federal government. So this is patently absurd

175
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: on its face. It's another delay tactic from the Everything

176
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: was perfect in Georgia elections industrial complex, and that's exactly

177
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: what we have. It's some of the highest levels of

178
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: Georgia government that we are looking to shine a light

179
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: of truth on that. We passed a resolution out of

180
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: the State Senate calling on Rafinsburger to release those documents.

181
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: He has said that he will not, but we're going

182
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: to keep pushing.

183
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Well, Governor Camp, you think put some pressure himself or

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: does he stay on the sidelines of this.

185
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: Governor Camp is a former secretary, and I think that

186
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: he at the Secretary of State, I should say, and

187
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: so he tends to have deference for the office. I

188
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: have not heard him weigh in on this topic. Certainly,

189
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: we believe in the separation of powers, and so from

190
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: our side and the legislature, while we have respect for

191
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: our governor, we also know that we appropriate funds to

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State, we write the laws, we have

193
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: plenary in writing the laws and how elections will be

194
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: held in the State of Georgia, and so we are

195
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: as a legislature, that's our authority, that's what people elected

196
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: us to do. And so while we respect the governor,

197
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: we're moving forward and pushing for this because this is

198
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: actually our response.

199
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: And of course the legislature in Georgia did so much

200
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty election to create model laws that

201
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: are much better than we're in Georgia, and much better

202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: than many other places in the country. And I want

203
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: to ask a little bit because you've seen the impact

204
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: that the Major League Baseball pull They're All Star game,

205
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: but everything turned out fine. You put voter ID laws

206
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: in and more people voted, not less. When you hear

207
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: a Chuck Schumer or someone in Washington claim this is

208
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: voter ID is Jim Crow two point zero? What do

209
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: you tell them about the Georgia experience and what happened

210
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: when you put voter ID in.

211
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: That's the same thing they said in Georgia when we

212
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: passed our voter ID laws in twenty twenty one. This

213
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: is Jim Crow two point zero. This is racist. You

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: know they say that they don't believe it. Apparently the

215
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: minorities are able or capable of getting an ID. You

216
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: have that conversation with your friends and like, what are

217
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: you talking about? I've got here's my ID. But this

218
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: is just a lie and a scare tactic by Democrats

219
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: who are committed to ensuring that people do not have

220
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: to show an idea to vote. They're not even interested

221
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: in ensuring that someone is a citizen of the United

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: states to vote in American elections, and this is one

223
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: of those eighty twenty issues, John, where eighty percent of

224
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: the country is with us. The Democrats are bowing down

225
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: and cowtowing to the most radical elements of their base.

226
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: And as we saw in Georgia, like you just mentioned

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: year after your record voter turnout, I believe that when

228
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: people think their vote matters, they are more likely to

229
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: come and vote. And when they know an illegal voter

230
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: is not going to dilute their vote, it compels them

231
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: to come vote because they know that their vote will

232
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: be counted. And we believe in one person, one vote.

233
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: The Democrats obviously don't aren't with us on that, but

234
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: the American people are.

235
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the numbers are just off the chart. It's not

236
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: even ambiguous. It's very clear. When I was a young

237
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: political reporter when come down to Georgia to Coverent, a

238
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of times my elder political reporters who were training

239
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: me as a young guy would say, you should always

240
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: be in a Georgia state of mind, meaning as George

241
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: is thinking, you'll understand how the rest of the country

242
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: is thinking. We're headed into midterm elections. Obviously, some big

243
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: prizes in Georgia, you're running for lieutenant governor. The economy

244
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: is really roaring into a really strong position right now,

245
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: job creation up, inflation down, more money going into the

246
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: American taxpayer's pocket because of the new Trump taxaw changes.

247
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: What is the mood of Georgia voters and how will

248
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: that play out as we get closer to the twenty

249
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixth election.

250
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: People are optimistic here in Georgia. I filled my gas

251
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: my car up today with gas at two dollars and

252
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: forty two cents a gallon. Wow, it wasn't that long

253
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: ago that it was close to double that. And so

254
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: the energy prices being lower, the fact that we have

255
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: a pro energy president in the White House, the fact

256
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: that we have, as you mentioned, the inflation numbers coming

257
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: down to really historic norms after having historic hives just

258
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. Georgians are working. Georgia is thriving.

259
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: We have really a resurgence of people being able to

260
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: participate in the American dream here again, which was something

261
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: that got lost during the Biden years. I think we're

262
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: going to have a very very good twenty twenty six

263
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: here in Georgia. And you're exactly right, this is a

264
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: must win state. The state will likely control the United States.

265
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: Senate John Assoff is California's third Senator, and the people

266
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: of Georgia, I believe, are going to send him home

267
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: and send a pro liberty, pro America US senator back

268
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: to DC to represent this great state.

269
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, a Democratic senator who's part of a party that

270
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: says voter ID is racist. But he required a voter

271
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: ID to attend his own political events, right, he did.

272
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: And just remember on the Save America Act, you had

273
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: two hundred and thirteen House Democrats walk into the House

274
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: Chamber put their voting card into their voting machine before

275
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: they could cast their vote. Against requiring voter ID for

276
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: people to vote in American elections.

277
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: It's just absurd.

278
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: So you have this scenario where the left is out

279
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: of touch with the average American and they are voting

280
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 3: against things that people just can't relate to. You know,

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: John Alsoff, you mentioned him, he voted against preventing men

282
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: from participating in women's sports, and that's another eighty twenty

283
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: issue where you know, freedom loving, fair minded Americans cannot

284
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: relate to that way of thinking. It's going to cost

285
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: the Democrats in November.

286
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're You're definitely right. And I will

287
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: say this because I did watch the vote. I didn't

288
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: hear a single Democrat claim they were a victim of

289
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Jim Crow when they put that card into vote a

290
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. So apparently it isn't as big

291
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: an issue as they claim it to be. Senator, before

292
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: we let you go, if people love what they heard saying,

293
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: they want to learn more about what you're doing, how

294
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: they can help you as you're running for lieutenant got

295
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: what's the best way to stay in touch with you

296
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: in your campaign?

297
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, people in Georgia want to send a Georgia first

298
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 3: pro Trump conservative to run the Georgia State Senate. Greg

Speaker 1: the goods to this show brings the receipts. We're going

309
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: to ask her about the economy, about what's going on

310
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: in New York, all of the socialism and failure that

311
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the Big Apple is seeing under a socialist mayor, and

312
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. But first we're going to get

313
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280

Speaker 1: dot com slash just news Welcome back, everybody. As we've

329
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: chronicled on justinnews dot com, the first month of Mayormandami's

330
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: reign in New York City as a socialist governing mayor

331
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: has been a disaster. The snow is not being cleared,

332
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: the garbage piles up as high as eight feet high,

333
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: and the big Apple a lot of people saying it

334
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: looks a lot more like a mediocre apple. And with

335
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: big new taxes coming, it's entirely possible you'll see a

336
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: larger exodus from New York City than we've already seen.

337
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Joining us now to bring us up to speed on

338
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: that and a whole lot more, including the extraordinary success

339
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: of the Trump economy and a big win in Congress.

340
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: She represents the great state of New York. He's Congresswoman,

341
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: Claudy Atenne, Congresswoman. Great to have you on, great to

342
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: be on. All right, I want to get to Mayor

343
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: Mandami before I do. Yesterday the economist said, oh, probably

344
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: going to be a bad jobs in part turned out

345
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty thousand, way above expectation. Rock

346
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: and today said, ah, maybe inflation is taking back up.

347
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: It actually was a very cool two point four percent.

348
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: The Trump economy continues to outperform expectations, and it feels

349
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: like now for the first time, the dinner table, the

350
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: water coolers starting to feel the impacts. What do you

351
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: hear from your constituents.

352
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: You know, I think this is just the beginning because

353
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: as we go into tax season now, you're going to

354
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 5: see the huge returns coming from there. Obviously, the state

355
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: and local tax deduction went up some and so that's

356
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: going to impact more middle class to expairs. You know,

357
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: it went from ten thousand to forty thousand for people

358
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: earned and couples earning less than five hundred thousand dollars

359
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: a year, which sounds like.

360
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: A lot and it is.

361
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: But you know, it depends on if you're in New

362
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: York City or upstate. But this is this is beneficial

363
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 5: to a lot of my constituents. You're going to see

364
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 5: a lot of these permanent, These small business inductions have

365
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: been made permanent. The investments and a lot of the

366
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 5: taxes made permanent, the tax cuts that were from the

367
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen are going to be great and people are

368
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 5: going to start seeing more money literally back in their

369
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 5: pocket that they were losing under Biden. I think what's

370
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: really important. And you just talked about the jobs numbers,

371
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 5: you know, the participation rate. The inflation is down, the

372
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 5: costs of the goss of doing businesses down a little

373
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 5: like energy is down. But the big problem, and I

374
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 5: think think this is what everyone has to talk about.

375
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: If you take New York State, California, Illinois, and the

376
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 5: really blue blue spate states some of the Northeast, their

377
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 5: terrible energy policy continues to keep energy rates high, which

378
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: keeps the cost of goods and services high, which keeps

379
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: the person assistant inflation. Even though it's down, it would

380
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: be down even further if these states would just mirror

381
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 5: some of the more successful states that actually are governed

382
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: by Republicans or common sense Democrats. So this is a

383
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: huge problem. In New York is among the worst, if

384
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: not California. New York highest taxes, highest energy and New

385
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 5: York State right now we're having an energy crisis.

386
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: You're hearing them talking about it all across the state.

387
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: And that's because we have this horrible Green New Deal

388
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: in New York that was passed in twenty nineteen, and

389
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 5: with that is a cap on the amount of fossil

390
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: fuels we can use to fuel our energy grid. That

391
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 5: means that we have an unsustainable, unaffordable energy grid. That

392
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: could be very dangerous and I think catastrophic for the

393
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: future of New York if the Democrats don't change. And

394
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 5: here's another important thing. Upstate New York, what are we doing.

395
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: We have energy coming from Niagara Falls, we have energy

396
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 5: coming from our nuclear power clients, the only operational plants

397
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 5: in the entire state. In my district along Lake Ontario,

398
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 5: we get energy from Quebec Power. We use solar. We

399
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 5: have windmills. They're not really efficient, but they provide some power,

400
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 5: not basal power, not the affordability and the security that

401
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 5: we need. But guess who uses all of our natural

402
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: gas New York City. They're over ninety five percent is

403
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 5: New York City. They are the ones that are telling

404
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 5: us we can't use fossil fuels while they're powering their

405
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 5: energy grid with almost ninety five to ninety eight percent

406
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: fossil fuel usage. They're the ones who shut down in

407
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 5: the nuclear power plant Indian Point by Governor Cuomo.

408
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 4: So these are.

409
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 5: All things that lead to us not being with everybody

410
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 5: else on driving the cost down. Now, new taxes, that's

411
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: going to make affordability even worse. You're going to probably

412
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 5: see more taxes on energy, including gas. You're seeing Niagra, Mohawk,

413
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: and all the other power companies on National Grid con Edison.

414
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: They're not able to do what they need to do

415
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 5: and using all sorts of energy in a smart way

416
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 5: to bring the cost down. They're forced to use a

417
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 5: less efficient, more expensive energy in order to keep the

418
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 5: power goods stable. And that is now good not looking

419
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 5: good for affordability.

420
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: And the hypocrisy line of those limousine liberals who have

421
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: their gas powered limousines look like they're revving them up

422
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: to maybe move out of Watch a New York City

423
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: in New York State with the millionaire's tax and the

424
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: other ideas going on. New York's already suffered a pretty

425
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: significant exodus the last decade. Do you think it speeds

426
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: up in the next year with the Mandami policies and

427
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: the local policies.

428
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 4: Look, I think people want to leave. They don't.

429
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: They're not seeing a future in New York City where

430
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 5: they're going to be rewarded for the work that they

431
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 5: put in, the risk that they take.

432
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: And the more you tax them.

433
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: We've proven that we have the highest out migration in

434
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 5: the entire nation because of our high taxes, the highest

435
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 5: in the country right now.

436
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: We have high costs all across the board.

437
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 5: And people are leaving, and they're leaving because because they

438
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: want to go somewhere where they're more free, where they

439
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: have more opportunity and more prosperity and more security. I mean, remember,

440
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: we have taken it. We have had an open border.

441
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: We've taken in all kinds of illegal immigrants and used

442
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: tax dollars to pay for all their needs, over our veterans,

443
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: over our need citizens. We have the highest Medicaid for

444
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 5: capital rate, and why pay that. You can go to

445
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 5: another state and just drive into Pennsylvania and you immediately

446
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 5: get a tax cut. If you're a business and you

447
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 5: drive into Pennsylvania, you immediately get a tax cut. You

448
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: can reinvest, you can add more jobs, you can be

449
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: competitive with your competitors, which you're not in New York.

450
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the communist mentality, the Marxist mentality

451
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: that's dominating the Democrats. Socialist America, who are the tail

452
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 5: wagging the dog in the state legislature. And they're all

453
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: been emboldened by the election of Mandami, who, by the way,

454
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 5: barely got fifty percent of the vote. So unfortunately there

455
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 5: were too many people in that or the mayoral race

456
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 5: that caused us to end up with this guy. And

457
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 5: he's a disaster. People are dying, people are upset with

458
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: what's happening. You know, the homeless are dying on the streets.

459
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 5: You know, the free grocery store is the cost of living,

460
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: the garbage, you know, everything is. It's just I think,

461
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: I wish, I hope those fifty percent that voted for

462
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 5: them are starting to wake up.

463
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the first month has been a cardiac paddles

464
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: awakening for a lot of people. I think nineteen people

465
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: died in the cold. Some pictures I've seen have the

466
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: garbage in New York City stacked up eight feet. It

467
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: took a week to get even basic clearing of some

468
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: of the snow from sidewalks. And you know, any other

469
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: time in my lifetime, when you get to New York

470
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: City a day after a snowstorm, things get running because

471
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: New York doesn't sleep. But he has really underperformed what

472
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I want to turn quickly to the extraordinary work. As

473
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: you were an important voice on election integrity for a

474
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: long time. You get the Save Act through, then you

475
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: get the Voter ID through. Then you've combined them together,

476
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: and you get the Save America Act through. What do

477
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: we have to do to get a United States Senate

478
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: to get off it's uff and pass that bell.

479
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 5: You know, I just can't understand why anyone would vote

480
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 5: against this. It is so narrowly tailored this bill. First

481
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 5: of all, you know the citizenship is required in federal elections.

482
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: Although again New York State, the Democrats in New York

483
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: City tried to pass a bill that would let non

484
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 5: citizens vote in our elections, the far left Court of Appeals,

485
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: new York's highest court, threw that out and said, no,

486
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 5: you must be a citizen to vote in elections in

487
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 5: New York. So we're good in New York. Our constitution

488
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 5: requires it, Our law requires it, including the New York

489
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: State constitution. So this is an easy yes vote. We

490
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: have the voter ID law, which you know, most Americans,

491
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: regardless of party, regardless of demographic support, you know that

492
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 5: we need to make sure we secure our elections, that

493
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 5: we are who we say we are. I think I've

494
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 5: said this in a few other places, but it's worthy

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 5: of noting. I was one of them Intelligence Committee members

496
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 5: who went to Honduras to witness a Third World election

497
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 5: where their elections were more secure. Not only did they

498
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: require picture ID, they required proof that you reside where

499
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 5: your ide says you reside.

500
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 4: And they took an extra step.

501
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 5: They do biometrics to make sure there's one citizen, one vote.

502
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: You can prove it.

503
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 5: Identity theft is a huge problem in the age of

504
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: information and the Internet right now.

505
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: People want to.

506
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 5: Make sure that their vote is secure or this is

507
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 5: an insult to anyone who you know, when the Democrats,

508
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, just gaslighting that women are disenfranchised and minorities

509
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: are different disenfranchised. Absurd Illegal immigrants who barely speak our

510
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 5: language in many cases come into this country and they

511
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: get a license, which is a valid voter ID in

512
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 5: the state of New York, and they often are allowed

513
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: to vote in our elections because there's no way under

514
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 5: New York law that we can prove that they're not

515
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 5: a citizen. This is absurd, and I think people need

516
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 5: to look at this is a common sense issue. Is

517
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 5: it's being made into a political issue by the Democrats

518
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 5: because what are.

519
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: They trying to do.

520
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: They're trying to cover up everything you and I talked

521
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: about in the beginning of the show, John, The Trump

522
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: economy is on fire. Trump has done amazing things in

523
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 5: the last year to really give us a boost in

524
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: our economy, to give Americans across all demographics, all social

525
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 5: classes a chance to thrive and prosper. And they know

526
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 5: that it's working, and they're trying to do anything they

527
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 5: kind of cover it up and to malign President Trump

528
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 5: and the great.

529
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: Policies he's gotten in place, you know, through.

530
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 5: A very difficult year, you know, very near own majorities

531
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 5: in the House and Senate.

532
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 4: Kudos to Leader Thune.

533
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 5: And Mike Johnson for working with Trump and getting things

534
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 5: done for the American people.

535
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: To go. A couple of years ago, we made everybody

536
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: get the new licenses so that we could be a

537
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: more secure country when it comes to identity. Any reason

538
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: we couldn't add a requirement to all states that their

539
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: citizenship status be listed on the driver's license on that

540
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: damper proof ID seems like it would make this a

541
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: lot easier issue.

542
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

543
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: I think everything we can do to make that ID

544
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: universal and everyone can use it for everything.

545
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 6: I know.

546
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 5: Look that the real idea was kind of a pain.

547
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: You had to go get one or bring your passport us.

548
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 5: You know, if we could just have one, one thing

549
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 5: that we could carry around with us to prove that,

550
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 5: you know, for everything we need because we have to

551
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 5: use our voter registration card for everything. I think it

552
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: was a representative Michael Cloud from Texas who actually showed

553
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 5: that we and the House of Representatives use an ID

554
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: in order to vote on the floor of the House

555
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 5: of Representatives. When we cast a vote on behalf of

556
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 5: our district, we have a voter, we have an ID

557
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 5: that we put into a machine. I mean, even that

558
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: is just basic. It's just the way it with so

559
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: many you know, obstacles or so many opportunities for fraudsters

560
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 5: to come out and take advantage of us, especially vulnerable

561
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: seniors and people you know who can't protect themselves. This

562
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: is just common sense, John, This is nothing to do.

563
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: This shouldn't even be a political issue. This should be

564
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 5: a no brainer. And why the Democrats have chosen this

565
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 5: lane I don't understand, but I think once the economy

566
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 5: really starts going.

567
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: I think this all this this doom.

568
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 5: And gloom discussion about whether we keep the House or not,

569
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 5: will go away. The only thing they can screw this

570
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 5: up is the worst form of electioneering that we have,

571
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 5: and that is called jerry mandering. And if the Democrats

572
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 5: get their way, they're going to do whatever they can

573
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 5: to destroy Virginia, to destroy California, all these other states,

574
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 5: and and try to win at the win that way

575
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 5: as opposed to winning on policy at the ballot box.

576
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: The Louisiana case in the Supreme Court could be the

577
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: most defining case for elections in more than a century.

578
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: We're going to keep it going. It looks like it's

579
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: going to go the right way. Too good to have

580
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: you on the show. We always get a great common

581
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: sense havething deals to common sense. Thanks for joining us.

582
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: Thanks so much. Great to see you.

583
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah you as well. Always enjoy the conversation, All right, folks.

584
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we talked to another congressional hopeful and

585
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: America First candidate for Michigan's eighth House district. Can Republicans

586
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: hold off a blue wave? Come to Mitrums? I think so,

587
00:28:44,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: Welaska Maras on that right, after the he's messages welcome

588
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: back everybody. I love this part of the job, getting

589
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: to meet new candidates, fresh faces on the campaign trail,

590
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: people who are entering into politics to make this country better.

591
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: We got one from the great state of Michigan joining

592
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: us now, congressional candidate from Michigan, A Maria hasigam Mayic.

593
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: Great to have you on the show.

594
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, thank you for having me. I'm blessed to

595
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 7: be here. Thank you.

596
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're blessed to have you. And I loved our

597
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: conversation in the commercial break. Because you're a dad, you're

598
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: running for Congress, You're doing all sorts of extraordinary things,

599
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: even getting sliding in a karate practice for the kids

600
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: in between keming on there. But tell us what tempt

601
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: did you get into the political fray here and make

602
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: a difference in America?

603
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 7: Well, you know, essentially, I'm born and raised in Flint, Michigan,

604
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 7: the birthplace of General Motor is the birthplace of the

605
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 7: middle class, a place that's been represented by Democratic leadership

606
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 7: for the last fifty plus years. And we've seen nothing

607
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 7: but decline in this area. No matter how hard the

608
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 7: people of this district, the blue collar industrial Americans are working.

609
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 7: They just seem to get ahead because we've had lack

610
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 7: of innovation of insight from the Democratic Party. And now

611
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 7: they're taking it a step further. Not only are they

612
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 7: not representing our best interests bringing new industries to the district,

613
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 7: now they're pushing radical ideologies on our children. And then

614
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 7: they're using the people that are responsible for them being

615
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: in office, really the community in which I come from,

616
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 7: the black community, and blaming them for why illegal immigrants

617
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 7: deserve to vote in our process by saying that well,

618
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 7: black people can't get voter IDs, or they can't get passports,

619
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 7: as if we don't travel or we don't have the

620
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 7: same opportunities. And I'm pushing back on the narrative. No

621
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 7: longer are we going to be the scapego for the

622
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 7: Democratic Party bringing this country down and bringing this district down.

623
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 7: We're fighting back and I'm the representation of them in

624
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 7: their mind.

625
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Everybody. The great water crisis that occurred in Flint, which

626
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: was a great example of bad governments and bad oversight.

627
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: You're running again, say Democrat Kristin McDonald, pretty liberal, big

628
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: fan of the Green New Deal, which drove up our

629
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: energy prices and destabilize their grid. How do people connect

630
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: with you as you start to talk about these issues,

631
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: do they realize that those policies are what's hurting them?

632
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: At the dinner table at the gas got.

633
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 7: Pump, absolutely without questioning. When I'm in her hometown of

634
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 7: Bay City, they bring up two things. They bring up

635
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 7: a green New deal and how it's going to raise

636
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 7: the prices of energy, how it's unsustainable for wind and

637
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 7: solar when we know we need to unleash energy in

638
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 7: our district. We are a competitive district when it comes

639
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 7: to all the industrial times. But if she's trying to

640
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 7: limit those opportunities on top of it, I'll tell you

641
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 7: a quick story. In Bay City, their city surrounded by bridges.

642
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 7: She brought a toll bridge to her hometown, to the

643
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 7: point where every time you cross the bridge is five

644
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 7: dollars and fifty cents. So I'm in a place that

645
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 7: people are making money stretch like everyday americans working budgeting,

646
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 7: Imagine that you have to give up whatever luxury have,

647
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 7: whether that's a Starbucks cup of coffee. Every single time

648
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 7: you cross the bridge, you're losing ten dollars round trip

649
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 7: or eleven dollars trip. That's the lack of representation. This

650
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 7: is what we have to fight for here. We have

651
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 7: to bring back common sense legislation that has the everyday

652
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 7: American in mind. That is what we're fighting for. That

653
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 7: is what I'm fighting for. That's what I'm seeing first Aim.

654
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important, and you are giving voice to those folks.

655
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: You have an extraordinary career before you did this. Tell

656
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: us a little bit about yourself, your service, and some

657
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: of the issues that matter most of you. Well.

658
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 7: I always say I was raised to Flint, but I

659
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 7: became a man of the US Navy. I did almost

660
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 7: eight years in the US Navy as a military police

661
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 7: officer and as intelligence analysts. I've served from the Hornet

662
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 7: Africa chasing pirates or fighting pirates to chase the submarines,

663
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 7: and from Japan and Asia to serving in Guatamo Bay

664
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 7: locking up terrorists and detainees. So I have a varied

665
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 7: experience in the military. Also, I'm a federal retired federal

666
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 7: law enforcement officer. And the protests we're seeing, the things

667
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 7: that going on in Minnesota when they're talking about abolishing

668
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: nice making it dangerous for law enforcement officers to keep

669
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 7: our country safe, to get rid of people that have

670
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 7: already broken the law and then using it as a

671
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 7: rallying cry for their party as to why Republicans are

672
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: terrorists and Gestapo even though they're the ones who's actually

673
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 7: getting funded by Nazi sympathizers. They call us j Stoppo,

674
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 7: but my opponent is taking money directly from somebody who

675
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 7: is a proven Nazi sympathized.

676
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: See.

677
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 7: The thing is the Left. They try to attack us

678
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 7: and our message even though we're the ones actually fighting

679
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: for America. As a law enforcement officer from the black

680
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 7: community in which they say they're affected, or the minority community,

681
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 7: I can probably say that we are supporting law enforcement

682
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 7: because they are keeping these streets clean for American citizens,

683
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 7: those who care about America. That is what we are present.

684
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 7: That's what I'm pushing forward. I'll continue to fight for

685
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 7: I've had almost twenty years of law enforcement and military experience,

686
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 7: and this is just another e step to represent our

687
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 7: country as I have for the last two decades.

688
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: So very important and in just one year, crime way

689
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: down in America, inflation way down in America, the economy

690
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: itself and job creation starting to grow very quickly. The

691
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: amount of money going back into people's pockets and not

692
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: into the government till has gone in with the Trump

693
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: tax cuts. How do people view the economy during this

694
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: moment of transition from Biden to the Trump economy optimistic?

695
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 7: We're seeing it. We see it as the gas pumps.

696
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 7: You know, last year all we heard about was the

697
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 7: price of milk, the price of bread, the price of agage.

698
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 7: With those that went down, the gas is in here

699
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 7: in Michigan is two seventy nine to gather. So you're

700
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 7: saving thirty forty dollars a month just off gas. And

701
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 7: they bland President Trump and they said all these negative

702
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 7: things were going to happen, But it's been just the

703
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 7: o we got reaping the rewards of an administration that

704
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 7: actually cares about the average day, the average person, the

705
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 7: average citizen. That's what this president represents. He has real

706
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 7: tangible results that have benefited us all. It's time we

707
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 7: focus on the results and not just hope and promise

708
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 7: left hopes. They give us hope and promise and rah

709
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 7: rah and great rallying cries, and people get behind that,

710
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 7: not knowing they're being bambooze. Look at the real facts,

711
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 7: look at the real spets. Your life has improved under

712
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 7: this administration. Don't fall for the don't fall for the

713
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 7: lives and the.

714
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: Slim as advice and manor for people watching they if

715
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: they want to get involved with your campaign or learn

716
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: more about you, what's the best way to do that.

717
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 7: Please visit me at Flip the eighth. Flip the number

718
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 7: eight th h We're gonna flip the eighth District. Listen,

719
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 7: we have a great chance in the state of Michigan

720
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 7: to have true representation from the governorship, senator, congressional and

721
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 7: even the state level. We have a great chance this

722
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 7: my race. Allow me to say this, please, I have

723
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 7: one of the races that President Trump won during his cycle.

724
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 7: We can win it this cycle. It's the most inexpensive

725
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 7: race in the nation. With support in a unified party,

726
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 7: we will bring representation for the country, the representation for

727
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 7: the district and the state of Michigan. People don't understand

728
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 7: what they're missing out on until it comes back. That's

729
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 7: why we're going to win it. I'm the candidate here

730
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 7: in the eighth and I'm going to fight to the

731
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 7: tooth and nail to the very last day to bring

732
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 7: representation to those who have not received.

733
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty darn important. I love it, flipped Eith, that's

734
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: a pretty easy remember. Good catching yeah one. I've been

735
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: covering politics long term. Never heard that one. Not good, Amazan.

736
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Great to have you on the show. We'll be sure

737
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: to check in with you as a campaign. Where's that?

738
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: But good to have you. Thank you so much, Don,

739
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much.

740
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 7: I'm grateful. I appreciate you talking.

741
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: Thank you for your serviced We love that a lot.

742
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, folks. Coming up next, The York Mayor's are

743
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: one of Mandammie's collective. His policies left a lot of

744
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: people so out in the cold they died in it.

745
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people concerned about his ability to govern

746
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: the big city. We got a great, great guess he's

747
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: been tracking a day in the day af from our

748
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: good friends of the Heritage Foundation. We'll have that next right

749
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: after these messages. Welcome back everybody. A lot more fun

750
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: ahead and joining us now a senior research associate in

751
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundations, Thomaseiro Institute for Economic Policy Studies, and

752
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: our Mandani expert. Yes, the Mayor of New York has

753
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: to have his own expert giving his policies. Nicole Hoyer, Nicole,

754
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: great to have you on the show.

755
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me on.

756
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: All Right, this has been quite a launch for a mayor.

757
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: We have everything from government owned grocery stores on the table,

758
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: to massive tax increases, to begging the State of New

759
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: York for money because they're broke, and oh in the preetime,

760
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: maybe socialized housing on top of it. Were we ready

761
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: for this much chaos in New York City?

762
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 6: I don't think we were ready for absolutely not. And

763
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 6: I mean those are certainly his policies, but we've already

764
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 6: seen tremendous failures so far. Look at his response to

765
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 6: a snowstorm. Something is taken for granted as even that.

766
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 6: We have snow on the roads, still ice on the roads,

767
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 6: garbage piled eight feet high. And that's not even the

768
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 6: worst of it. We have actual human casualties. People froze

769
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 6: to death. I think the number is nineteen now the

770
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 6: body tool. Nineteen people froze to death on New York

771
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 6: City streets because of the mayor's ineptitude. If that's the

772
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 6: warmth of collectivism, I certainly want no part of it,

773
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 6: and neither should New Yorkers.

774
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want collectivism. Let a lot of people out

775
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: in the cold, to die. It's actually really just so remarkable.

776
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: We had a lot. It was one of the most

777
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: popular stories for people just learning how badly Mondominie handled

778
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: a basic snowstorm, which, by the by the way, New

779
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: York you're going to get every year, so a bit

780
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: of a use of all right, so, how is it?

781
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 1: Seems like some dynamics have happened Mondominie's own party seem

782
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: to poke him in the ribs about his snow party

783
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: performance or snow storm performance, and then you've got the

784
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: sort of back and forth because he instantly has a

785
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: financial crisis. He can't pay for what he promised his people.

786
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: How are those two dynamics working out right now?

787
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the most recent news, in terms of the twelve

788
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 6: billion dollar budget deficit that he reported about two weeks ago,

789
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 6: was recently revised down to seven billion as a sort

790
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 6: of attempt to get the state legislature on board with

791
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 6: his plan to raise taxes, which is obviously going to

792
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 6: be detrimental to New York City's economy if he's able

793
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 6: to do that. So both of these things, like we

794
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 6: talked about the snowstorm the budget deficit, are both things

795
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 6: that are causing definitely a little bit of a struggle

796
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 6: within the Democratic Party.

797
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: When you bring a corporate tax site to a city

798
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: life New York, it gets passed down one to the

799
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: consumer if you're in the consumer business, or it's going

800
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: to get down to the workers. Right, The workers are

801
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: going to end up getting less because the company can't

802
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: afford to pay them or their fringes like they do

803
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: when more taxes come in. How does that work into

804
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: the conversation or has that not really hit the workforce yet?

805
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 6: John, That's exactly right. It's important to note too that

806
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 6: New York City already has exorbitantly high corporate tax rates

807
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 6: twenty one percent at the federal level, seven point twenty

808
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 6: five percent at the state level, and eight point seventy

809
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 6: five or eight point eighty five at the local level.

810
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 6: So corporations are already paying a high degree in taxes, certainly,

811
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 6: and if we increase that rate by anymore, that's an

812
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 6: of course added expense for corporations. And like you said,

813
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 6: they passed those oftentimes onto consumers in the form of

814
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 6: higher prices, or they will pass them onto workers in

815
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 6: the form of layoffs or reduced hours or reduced benefits.

816
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 6: So by raising taxes you're not just hurting corporations essentially,

817
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 6: you're hurting the labor force and you're hurting consumers as well.

818
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I first came to town a long time ago

819
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: in Washington, one of my early mentors said, by the

820
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: way taxes always roll downstream meeting everyday, people end up

821
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: inheriting the cost of that tax before we leave New York.

822
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Not only you know the socialist agenda here, isn't their

823
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: socialist agenda isn't just about the economy, though that's the

824
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: most important part. But there is a cultural element to

825
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: New York City, and things like attending the archbishop's installation

826
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: would be something that almost every mayor would have done

827
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: in the last century except for Mondami. He seems to

828
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: also be having a difficult time adapting to some of

829
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: the long term expectations of a New York mayor, such

830
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: as making sure the Catholic Church you attend their installation

831
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: of a new archbishop. Those things don't play well as well, right.

832
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: They end up with a lot of bad ink for him.

833
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Early on in his honeymoon period.

834
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 6: It's upset, a slap in the face that he's not

835
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 6: doing all of these things that a traditional mayor would

836
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 6: like you mentioned with not attending the archbishop and kind

837
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 6: of the slop in the face to the Catholic community. Certainly,

838
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 6: but what could we expect from a mayor that is

839
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 6: essentially trying to turn New York City into not just

840
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 6: I guess a Muslim country, but a socialist one as well.

841
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally remarkable. All right, how long do you think

842
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: it is before we see the people of New York

843
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: start to flee in a number that actually gets the

844
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: attention of the rest of the world.

845
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 6: I would if he was able to pass his tax

846
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 6: proposals that he wants, to the raising of corporate taxes,

847
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 6: the two percent penalty tax, I think it would be

848
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 6: almost immediate that we would begin to see population exodus

849
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 6: right out of the city. I mean, in the last

850
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 6: five years alone, in gross net migration out of the city,

851
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 6: we've seen one point five million people. In the last decade,

852
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 6: about two and a half to three million people have

853
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 6: left the city. So, if you continue down this path

854
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 6: of increasing taxes and implementing all of these socialist policies

855
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 6: ranging from the government grocery stores to the thirty dollars

856
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 6: minimum wage to housing proposals, you're certainly going to see

857
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 6: a lot of people leaving the city.

858
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big apple might be Mandami's medium sized apple.

859
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: Before he's all done, We'll have to wait and see

860
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: what happens. Nicole. Always a great hour to have you.

862
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: people to see this in real time what he's doing

863
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: to one of America's great cities. But thanks for joining

00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, you talked about a warning that federal

888
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: regulators sent Apple News because it does appear from the

889
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: statistics it routinely discriminates against conservative news sites. We know

890
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: that for the great work of the Media Research Center,

891
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: and joining us right now is their vice president or

892
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: Free Speech at the Media Center Research Center, Dan Schneider,

893
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: Our good friend, Dan, Welcome back to the show. Congratulations.

894
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: MRC has been tracking this Apple News phenomenon for a

895
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: long time. Actually not a phenomenon. It's pretty clear what

896
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: they're doing. Tell us what you learned. And shortly after

897
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: the letter from regulators, a little crack in the Apple

898
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: News blockade.

899
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it's Apple, the two worst of these aggregators

900
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 8: in terms of real impact that's clearly measurable, the Apple

901
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 8: phone and then any Samsung or Google power technology, which

902
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 8: is Samsung is the biggest of this. But between Apple

903
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 8: and Google, ninety nine point seven percent of smartphone users

904
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 8: are using one of those two phones, and they're both

905
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 8: pre installed with their news service, Apple News or Google

906
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 8: News and an Apple News. Today's the one hundredth day.

907
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 8: It took one hundred days before Apple News published a

908
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 8: single story from our right leaning outlet. That's in comparison

909
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 8: to one thousand, three hundred and seventy nine stories from

910
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 8: left leaning outlets. It's propaganda, and it's, of course, John,

911
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 8: it's on purpose. It's designed specifically to try to get

912
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 8: people to hate Donald Trump, to hate Republicans, and frankly,

913
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 8: to hate American values.

914
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: It's very very troubling, and your statistics are very very clear.

915
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: I mean, data doesn't lie, and this case is a

916
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: really great example. So what all right, the FDC, I

917
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: think it is. We senza a warning letter. That's a

918
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: good start now, but what can we all do? Well,

919
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: we're all sitting at home we got we got voices,

920
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: we we got choices. How do we get Apple's attention

921
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: and say enough with this silliness?

922
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you that the four big news apps,

923
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 8: so it's Apple News, Google News, Microsoft's MSN News and

924
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 8: then Yahoo. And Yahoo has a massive reach. People don't understand,

925
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 8: but they all took a real beating yesterday because consumers

926
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 8: and voters said no, So what could people do?

927
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 7: They could?

928
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 8: They could go on Twitter or any other social media

929
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 8: platform and tweet straight at Tim Cook or Sun Darpachai

930
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 8: at Apple and Google and say why is this happening.

931
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 8: If these corporations get a sense that consumers are really upset,

932
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 8: they can change. And then, of course the Federal Trade

933
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 8: Commission the FTC. That warning letter is serious because if

934
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 8: Apple and Google have been misrepresenting to their customers what

935
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 8: their news apps are doing, there could be some hefty

936
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 8: penalties coming down the road.

937
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: It seems to me that if we bought an Apple

938
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: device and we subscribed to Apple News and we found

939
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: out that it was intentionally hijacking the news, are we

940
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: victims of fraud in some way?

941
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 8: Well? If look, if you sign up for the Democratic

942
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 8: National Committee email, you're expecting to get DNC talking points.

943
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 8: That's not that's not fraud. That's nothing wrong with that.

944
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 8: But if you're subscribing to Apple and they have represented

945
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 8: or have caused you to believe that what they're going

946
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 8: to send you is balanced information, well you've just been defrauded.

947
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 8: That is a consumer harm that the FTC is very

948
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 8: concerned with, and every single state attorney general in the

949
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 8: country is concerned with. You know that this is not

950
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 8: a free speech question. These company companies have free speech rights,

951
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 8: but committing fraud, you can't HiPE behind the First Amendment

952
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 8: and say, well, I can commit fraud because the free

953
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 8: speech protects my ability to lie to people.

954
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: That's really it. I think you're onto something and this

955
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: is systemic. I mean, I think that's the amazing work

956
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: that you've done at MRC. And by the way, we

957
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: see it on the broadcast networks too, which are by

958
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: over the year public ware waves. You have shown how

959
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: systemic this enforced biases. We wouldn't know half of this

960
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: without the great work you and your team have done

961
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: at Media Research Center. Dan, always an honor to have

962

965
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,560

Speaker 1: I wake up. Such important work. All right, we've got

967
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: a weekend ahead of us, a holiday week in President's

968

Speaker 1: next ten days. We're also waiting to see some action

972
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: in Arizona we saw a little while ago. Christ you know,

973
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the importance to have better election integrity

974
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,239
