WEBVTT - 70 Days to Save the Majority 0:00:00.409 --> 0:00:02.570 A bit of sad news. I mean, she seemed like 0:00:02.630 --> 0:00:04.830 one of the happiest people ever on earth. I didn't 0:00:04.860 --> 0:00:09.459 know her really well. Dolly Parton has passed away at 80. 0:00:09.460 --> 0:00:11.680 She was scheduled, I think it was last weekend, Linda. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.040 You can correct me if I'm wrong, to appear. I 0:00:14.300 --> 0:00:17.690 think it was supposed to be at Dollywood. I have 0:00:17.750 --> 0:00:20.970 been there in my life. Remember, I lived, you know, what, 0:00:21.070 --> 0:00:23.630 about an hour away from Nashville. Hour and a half 0:00:23.670 --> 0:00:26.750 away from Nashville when I was in Huntsville broadcasting locally 0:00:26.770 --> 0:00:30.460 from 90 to 92. And went up there a lot. And, 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.660 you know, Grand Old Opry. One of the great honors 0:00:32.700 --> 0:00:35.479 of my life was actually hosting the Grand Old Opry. 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.180 And I couldn't believe it. Still to this day, they 0:00:39.220 --> 0:00:42.140 gave me a gift that I really cherish. And it 0:00:42.220 --> 0:00:46.900 was WSM, which is the call letters for what was 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:53.750 the country music AM radio station. And just legendary call letters. And, 0:00:54.150 --> 0:00:56.380 and they gave me like these bookends of it. And I, 0:00:56.550 --> 0:00:59.110 to this day, I still have them. And, uh, I'm 0:00:59.150 --> 0:01:00.790 very honored to have them. It was a great honor 0:01:00.810 --> 0:01:02.750 to be there. I couldn't believe that asked me to 0:01:02.870 --> 0:01:05.930 do it. And I was like, you sure me, you 0:01:06.430 --> 0:01:10.090 may have the wrong person. Um, she just was always 0:01:10.150 --> 0:01:13.230 somebody filled with joy and happiness seemed to have a 0:01:13.370 --> 0:01:15.640 great marriage. I mean, I know a little bit about 0:01:15.660 --> 0:01:20.250 her life. Um, enjoy, just seemed happy at all times. And, 0:01:20.780 --> 0:01:23.640 You know, she put out this statement to her fans 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.819 that she wasn't feeling well and went against every bone 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.080 in her body not to be able to attend an event. 0:01:29.180 --> 0:01:30.940 And she said she had hoped to be able to 0:01:30.980 --> 0:01:34.430 see everybody again soon. And maybe one of the funniest 0:01:34.490 --> 0:01:37.670 moments is Dolly partner with John Johnny Carson. Do you 0:01:37.690 --> 0:01:40.270 remember that, Linda? Did you ever see that clip anywhere? 0:01:40.310 --> 0:01:44.290 It's gone. It's still viral for crying out loud. Just 0:01:44.370 --> 0:01:47.260 a different era. Why are you so quiet today? You're 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.380 quiet today. Well, I didn't want to.. 0:01:48.420 --> 0:01:50.780 It seemed like you were having this dream of consciousness 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.060 and remembering Dolly Parton. I thought it was pretty nice. 0:01:53.100 --> 0:01:55.120 I didn't think it was appropriate for me to interrupt. 0:01:55.180 --> 0:01:59.010 But yes, she had just recently canceled an appearance at 0:01:59.050 --> 0:02:02.270 Dollywood about a week ago. And she's been having health 0:02:02.310 --> 0:02:05.010 issues and telling people she's having health issues. God bless her. 0:02:05.070 --> 0:02:08.830 And obviously, her last performance was in June. And I 0:02:08.870 --> 0:02:11.030 had recently seen an interview with her and I just 0:02:11.060 --> 0:02:13.120 thought to myself, I was like, wow, she is at it. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.780 I mean, for 79, 80 years old, she was like 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.140 living life, which I kind of love. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.600 You know, I just, it's just a reality of life. 0:02:22.660 --> 0:02:25.889 I mean, I have two podcasts. We just dropped one today. 0:02:26.090 --> 0:02:28.829 Oh my gosh. It's so funny. I had Clay and 0:02:28.870 --> 0:02:31.030 Buck on from the Clay and Buck show and they're 0:02:31.070 --> 0:02:32.630 both friends of mine, been friends of mine for a 0:02:32.630 --> 0:02:35.970 long time. And we had Buck on about his book. 0:02:36.030 --> 0:02:42.240 I mean, he knows more about indoctrination and psychopolitics, brainwashing 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.680 than any one person I ever met. And it's always 0:02:44.700 --> 0:02:46.980 been a topic in my head that I don't talk 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.120 a lot about that I've always been interested in. So 0:02:49.150 --> 0:02:50.989 we talk about that. We talk about who we think 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:56.210 is going to be the Democratic nominee in 2028. And 0:02:56.350 --> 0:02:58.750 I think me and me and Buck tend to think 0:02:58.889 --> 0:03:01.650 I don't know why Clay thinks it's going to be 0:03:01.690 --> 0:03:04.429 Kamala Harris. I'm like, I'll take that bet. But maybe 0:03:04.450 --> 0:03:06.370 the best part or one of the best parts of 0:03:06.450 --> 0:03:09.500 the podcast is when Clay ups the ante with the 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.419 WNBA in light of all the news that we've had 0:03:13.460 --> 0:03:16.400 this week. And there's been a ton of it. And 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.060 it just never seems to go away is he said, 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.240 I'm going to up the ante and he did it 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:27.169 on the podcast. And now he's willing to allow the 0:03:27.270 --> 0:03:31.250 team of his choice of eighth grade boys that he 0:03:31.290 --> 0:03:35.910 gets to pick to play last year's WNBA championship in 0:03:36.290 --> 0:03:39.340 He's not even betting. He's just saying if your team wins, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.440 if the WNBA wins, he'll give the Vegas team, which 0:03:43.460 --> 0:03:49.520 won last year, $ 10 million. If they win, I'm sorry, 0:03:49.540 --> 0:03:52.780 if his team wins, he's not asking for anything. He's 0:03:52.820 --> 0:03:55.000 just trying to prove a point, which is what Enes 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.970 Kanter Freedom is trying to do. And considering they have 0:03:58.030 --> 0:04:01.790 such a hard time, ESPN reporting that their sources are 0:04:01.830 --> 0:04:04.710 saying they think the WNBA, which can't define what a 0:04:04.750 --> 0:04:09.870 woman is, is not going to let Cantor Freedom be 0:04:10.010 --> 0:04:12.410 in the draft in 2017. He had the incident over 0:04:12.430 --> 0:04:14.450 the weekend where he got thrown out of the stadium, 0:04:15.030 --> 0:04:17.330 and all he was doing was cheering Sophie Cunningham, which 0:04:17.420 --> 0:04:23.020 is insane. Anyway, our prayers to Dolly Parton's family, and honestly, 0:04:23.140 --> 0:04:26.000 she was a legend in so many different ways, and 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.640 I know country music fans around the country are sad today. 0:04:29.890 --> 0:04:33.190 It is runoff day in the state of South Carolina. 0:04:34.010 --> 0:04:36.050 I just can't believe it. Later on at the top 0:04:36.070 --> 0:04:37.880 of the next hour, we'll have my friend Matt Towery, 0:04:37.890 --> 0:04:41.080 insider manager on. I want to get his take on this. 0:04:42.060 --> 0:04:45.760 And our mutual friend, Robert Cahaly with Trafalgar. I don't 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.680 trust many pollsters. This election year, I am saying to everybody, 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.720 don't pay attention to any of these polls. I mean, 0:04:52.820 --> 0:04:56.479 when you have, you know, this race in Wisconsin, with 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.370 Francesca Hong, and wow, people predicting as high as 30% 0:05:01.370 --> 0:05:05.110 victory on her end, and in many polls, multiple polls 0:05:05.150 --> 0:05:09.270 showing 20%, and she loses by 3,000. I am telling 0:05:09.310 --> 0:05:12.070 you that these polls are so bad, you can't pay 0:05:12.110 --> 0:05:14.870 attention to them. There's only certain pollsters I pay attention 0:05:14.910 --> 0:05:16.719 to and trust, and we put them on this program 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.880 and put them on TV. And one of them is 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:24.719 Robert Cahaley Trafalgar, John McLaughlin, McLaughlin & Associates, Matt Towery, 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:31.340 They've all three nailed the 2016 presidential election, 2020 presidential 0:05:31.380 --> 0:05:35.520 election and 2024 presidential election. So get this. Robert Cahaly 0:05:35.550 --> 0:05:40.089 did his final Trafalgar poll for this special election runoff. 0:05:41.050 --> 0:05:45.730 And he has it 47.9 percent for Darlene Graham, who 0:05:45.770 --> 0:05:48.720 I'm supporting. And I'll explain why in a minute. Ralph 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:53.000 Norman at 47.8 percent, a tenth of a point difference. 0:05:53.980 --> 0:05:55.729 I mean, my mind, Linda, I don't know. Do you 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.030 remember a race on election day, a tenth of a 0:05:59.089 --> 0:06:03.450 point or dead even? I just rarely happens. But that's 0:06:03.470 --> 0:06:05.609 how close it is now. It is the middle of August. 0:06:06.450 --> 0:06:08.620 Republicans now, this is like the third or fourth time 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.760 they've been asked in South Carolina to go out and vote. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.280 You know, most people, well, although in places like South Carolina, 0:06:16.300 --> 0:06:18.250 I guess it's back to school time for the kids. 0:06:18.310 --> 0:06:20.540 So maybe people are in their regular routine, but it's not. 0:06:21.170 --> 0:06:23.590 This is not going to be a high turnout election today. 0:06:23.610 --> 0:06:26.320 I can guarantee you that. It's going to be, you know, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.600 a who gets out their base voters, their base supporter election. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.380 And for the record, I have nothing against Ralph Norman, 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.840 but I can tell you why I'm supporting Darlene Graham. 0:06:38.140 --> 0:06:44.130 Darlene Graham, I know, is a staunch, reliable Trump voter. 0:06:45.020 --> 0:06:48.239 Just like a brother. And if anything, I think she's, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.039 you know, I used to argue with Lindsay all the 0:06:50.100 --> 0:06:53.320 time because Lindsay was so obsessed and focused on foreign 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.740 policy issues. I'm like, will you please, if you wonder 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.780 why Tim Scott, who I love, has a 20-point approval 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.230 rating higher than yours, it's because he sticks to issues 0:07:03.250 --> 0:07:06.130 that impact the people of South Carolina. Darlene's run that 0:07:06.170 --> 0:07:09.070 kind of campaign. And she's saying that she's going to 0:07:09.110 --> 0:07:11.890 focus on bread and butter issues and she's not as... 0:07:12.670 --> 0:07:16.320 into and involved in, or frankly, I would say obsessed with, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.600 like her brother was, with foreign policy. Now, I happen 0:07:19.620 --> 0:07:21.800 to share that passion with Lindsay. I don't talk about 0:07:21.820 --> 0:07:23.660 it all the time. And there is great news coming 0:07:23.700 --> 0:07:25.780 out of Iran the last couple of days. I shared 0:07:25.820 --> 0:07:27.730 a lot of it with you yesterday. I don't know 0:07:27.750 --> 0:07:32.850 if we'll get into it today. And so for that reason, 0:07:32.870 --> 0:07:40.530 and the fact that Ralph did not support Donald Trump, 0:07:40.710 --> 0:07:43.190 he chose Nikki Haley. I have nothing against Nikki. I 0:07:43.370 --> 0:07:45.230 actually get along great with Nikki. I saw Nikki at 0:07:45.270 --> 0:07:49.660 the Columbia service for Lindsey Graham. I think I saw 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.700 Ralph there for crying out loud. I saw Mark Sanford there. 0:07:52.740 --> 0:07:55.200 So everybody that was running there for crying out loud. And, 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.260 you know, I have friendly relationships with everybody. It's not personal. But, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.580 you know, for the reason that I think. That gives 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.800 me pause that he won't be a reliable Trump vote. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.200 And we need what Lindsey was, probably the biggest supporter. 0:08:09.220 --> 0:08:11.160 I know he's the best friend that the president had 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.120 in both the House and the Senate. They played golf constantly. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.820 They talked every night. And he was President Trump's biggest champion. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:23.050 And I want that to continue. And, you know, Ralph, 0:08:23.110 --> 0:08:27.990 by supporting Nikki Haley over Donald Trump, I just don't 0:08:28.030 --> 0:08:31.890 have the same degree of confidence in it. And, you know, 0:08:32.010 --> 0:08:33.650 I always tell people how I'm going to vote when 0:08:33.670 --> 0:08:36.750 I get involved in primaries. I know people get alienated. 0:08:36.790 --> 0:08:38.929 I'm not trying to alienate anybody. I'm not saying anything 0:08:38.950 --> 0:08:41.960 bad about anybody. I'm just telling you what I and 0:08:41.980 --> 0:08:43.719 there's one other thing about Darlene that I want to 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.000 point out here is, I mean, she was put in 0:08:47.020 --> 0:08:49.980 an impossible position and the way she has handled it 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:55.630 to me has been so incredibly dignified and. and so 0:08:55.730 --> 0:09:00.130 full of grace and courage and all the adjectives I 0:09:00.690 --> 0:09:04.350 can throw at you. You know, she hears about the 0:09:04.390 --> 0:09:06.429 death of her brother, and the next day the governor 0:09:06.470 --> 0:09:09.990 of her state, Henry McMaster, who's a nice guy, you know, 0:09:10.050 --> 0:09:13.190 calls her and says, would you consider being the person 0:09:13.309 --> 0:09:17.620 to finish the term of your brother? Because Republicans needed 0:09:17.790 --> 0:09:21.940 a vote in the Senate the following Tuesday. Before any memorial, 0:09:22.100 --> 0:09:25.500 any funeral, before she even mourned her brother. And then 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.950 the president got involved, and the president called her. And, 0:09:29.250 --> 0:09:31.950 you know, what is maybe one of the worst times 0:09:32.010 --> 0:09:34.489 in anybody's life when you lose somebody so close to you, 0:09:35.190 --> 0:09:37.530 and you don't have a chance to mourn them, bury them, 0:09:37.790 --> 0:09:39.709 and you're called by your president and called by your 0:09:39.750 --> 0:09:42.790 governor to serve, and then to do it with the 0:09:42.850 --> 0:09:45.240 grace that she has done it with and be thrown 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.520 into this, you know, this horrible world of politics, which is... 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.069 It is... look it's called a blood sport for a 0:09:53.110 --> 0:09:56.540 reason it's just not pleasant a lot of it and 0:09:56.780 --> 0:09:59.530 she stepped up and she's in it to serve she 0:09:59.630 --> 0:10:02.370 described her differences to me. And I think she's more 0:10:02.410 --> 0:10:05.270 in line with Tim Scott in terms of focusing on 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.220 South Carolina issues. However, we'll be a reliable vote for 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.220 the president. I just have a question about Ralph Norman 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.620 and a couple of other issues that I won't get 0:10:13.660 --> 0:10:16.420 into because I just don't want to go down that road. So, 0:10:16.700 --> 0:10:19.670 you know, The fact that she took up that challenge 0:10:20.010 --> 0:10:23.230 and wanted to serve at the request of the president 0:10:23.850 --> 0:10:26.200 and the governor meant a lot to me. Tim Scott, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.380 I know, is supporting her as well and has been 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.480 on the campaign trail. And a lot of other good 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.780 people that were in the primary are supporting her. And 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.329 I just admire the fact that she's done all of this. Now, 0:10:38.429 --> 0:10:40.810 today's election is going to be a low turnout election. 0:10:41.330 --> 0:10:43.429 And that means that every vote is going to matter. 0:10:43.970 --> 0:10:48.209 The polls close at 7 o'clock. That basically, you know, 0:10:48.330 --> 0:10:53.790 at this time, it gives you, what, three hours and 0:10:53.790 --> 0:10:56.770 22 minutes to get out and vote if you're in 0:10:56.820 --> 0:11:00.100 South Carolina. I'm just telling you what I would do 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.300 and why I would do it. And I just, it just, 0:11:04.340 --> 0:11:07.000 I have so much admiration for somebody that under those 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.870 circumstances did it all. You know, obviously, I'm close to 0:11:10.910 --> 0:11:14.390 the family. I spoke at Lindsay's Memorial at the National Cathedral. 0:11:15.090 --> 0:11:17.370 I gave the eulogy there after the president. It was 0:11:17.450 --> 0:11:20.550 really only three people that spoke, one family member, one 0:11:20.570 --> 0:11:23.470 of the nieces of Senator Graham. The president spoke and 0:11:23.530 --> 0:11:26.460 I spoke. And it was an honor. I was just 0:11:26.510 --> 0:11:29.200 close to the family. And Lindsay and I just got 0:11:29.260 --> 0:11:32.300 very close. And one of the things I said is 0:11:32.340 --> 0:11:34.840 we both grew up in a bar. I mean, she 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.300 has had a very hard, difficult life. She's run a 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:42.500 massive organization with $ 125 million budget. and manage many, many people. 0:11:42.540 --> 0:11:45.060 She has a lot of experience, definitely not in the 0:11:45.140 --> 0:11:46.959 political arena, but I kind of see that as a 0:11:47.020 --> 0:11:51.689 plus myself too. And she's not a career politician. And 0:11:52.370 --> 0:11:55.270 she jumped in to serve when she was asked at 0:11:55.290 --> 0:11:58.130 the worst possible, one of the worst possible moments in life. 0:11:58.990 --> 0:12:01.750 You know, and it's the story about how poor they 0:12:01.809 --> 0:12:06.430 grew up is unbelievable to me. You know, I even joke, 0:12:06.470 --> 0:12:08.010 Lindsay and I both grew up in a bar. I 0:12:08.090 --> 0:12:10.370 was 12 years old, washing dishes, sitting at the bar, 0:12:10.410 --> 0:12:12.850 drinking two St. Pauli girls. I was 12 years old. 0:12:13.570 --> 0:12:15.569 I was 13 and I was a cook and I'd 0:12:15.690 --> 0:12:17.990 do the same thing every single night. I'd have two St. 0:12:18.030 --> 0:12:21.970 Pauli girls fly home on my bicycle. And, you know, 0:12:22.110 --> 0:12:23.990 I guess not a normal life, certainly not in this 0:12:24.050 --> 0:12:26.730 day and age. And then I become a helicopter parent. 0:12:26.750 --> 0:12:31.350 Go figure that one out. But Lindsay, they lost their parents. 0:12:31.390 --> 0:12:33.950 She was only 13 years old. Lindsay was the older brother. 0:12:33.970 --> 0:12:36.209 And as she said, Lindsay became not only a brother, 0:12:36.250 --> 0:12:38.929 but a mother and a father. And they grew up 0:12:39.030 --> 0:12:44.640 so poor. And they literally took a bath in like 0:12:45.740 --> 0:12:48.260 in a tub with a bucket for crying out loud. 0:12:48.300 --> 0:12:52.500 Lindsay described all this to me in the bar when 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.420 it was the same like bathroom where the patrons use 0:12:55.460 --> 0:12:58.800 the bathroom and they threw a tub in there. uh 0:12:59.220 --> 0:13:02.730 so but he stopped what he was doing and he 0:13:03.030 --> 0:13:06.530 left school and he went to raise his sister and 0:13:06.570 --> 0:13:10.890 that became his mission in life um so i just 0:13:11.070 --> 0:13:13.329 i love the background i love the story i love 0:13:13.350 --> 0:13:15.650 the family i know some people had issues i had 0:13:15.690 --> 0:13:17.350 issues with lindsey for crying out loud i used to 0:13:17.370 --> 0:13:20.380 yell at him all the time um but you know 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.400 he was a good man who loved his country And 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.960 the president loved them, and they had the best relationship. 0:13:26.100 --> 0:13:28.160 I think there's nobody that was closer, I think, in 0:13:28.179 --> 0:13:33.280 the Senate or House that was an elected official more 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.400 than Lindsey Graham. They were best friends, period, end of sentence, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.900 full stop. And so we'd even have three-way conversations a lot. 0:13:41.590 --> 0:13:44.350 And Lindsey would drag me into these calls all the time. 0:13:44.490 --> 0:13:48.170 He was very interesting. He traveled more to the Middle East. 0:13:48.780 --> 0:13:51.960 And to Ukraine, because that was his passion. He wanted 0:13:52.020 --> 0:13:54.160 peace with Russia and Ukraine. He wanted an end to 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.470 that conflict. You know, his big dream was hopefully before 0:13:57.510 --> 0:14:01.130 this midterm in 70 days, he wanted a lasting peace 0:14:01.190 --> 0:14:03.750 deal in the Middle East. That was his hope. And 0:14:03.790 --> 0:14:06.010 he had the people have the impression that he was 0:14:06.050 --> 0:14:08.200 a big warmonger. No, he wanted a path to peace 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:13.440 that would be lasting for once in the Middle East. Anyway, 800-941-SHAWN. 0:14:13.580 --> 0:14:17.800 If you're in South Carolina, you got, let's see, 39 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.370 minutes and three hours if you want to vote. Polls 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.330 close at 7. We'll probably know by 9 when I 0:14:22.370 --> 0:14:24.690 come on the air what the outcome is. This is 0:14:25.230 --> 0:14:28.130 a tenth of a point difference. Your vote actually really 0:14:28.410 --> 0:14:30.690 matters today. 0:14:42.210 --> 0:14:42.390 All right. 0:14:42.410 --> 0:14:45.650 We have a lot going on. Again, our condolences to 0:14:45.710 --> 0:14:50.270 Dolly Parton's family. Our best. If you're in South Carolina, 0:14:50.310 --> 0:14:52.610 the runoff today, it's going to be a turnout election. Very, 0:14:52.650 --> 0:14:55.460 very close. A tenth of a point, according to Robert 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.820 Gahele Trafalgar. And remember, that also has a margin of 0:14:57.900 --> 0:15:00.660 error of three, four points like every poll. So you 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.020 can't hold anybody to it. You know, I've got an 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.979 unbelievable story I'm going to share with you later in 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.380 the program. And it's when you hear it, you'll be shocked. 0:15:08.700 --> 0:15:09.750 I'll tell you about that coming up. 0:15:30.790 --> 0:15:33.860 Now that we made some money for our sponsors let's 0:15:33.910 --> 0:15:37.780 go back to making the liberals crazy the hand man 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.920 is back on the radio right now um let. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.180 Me just spell out and it's it's not just that 0:15:45.620 --> 0:15:49.040 okay you've got what three hours and 23 minutes now 0:15:49.100 --> 0:15:51.920 if you want to vote in south carolina today I'd 0:15:51.940 --> 0:15:55.720 be voting for Darlene Graham. That's my preferred choice because 0:15:55.740 --> 0:15:58.260 I think she's going to be a guaranteed reliable vote 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.790 with Donald Trump, and we need it. We have too 0:16:00.810 --> 0:16:05.010 many rogue people there that just, it's been so frustrating 0:16:05.250 --> 0:16:07.430 watching them not even getting the SAVE Act passed. She 0:16:07.470 --> 0:16:10.570 supports that, and she's a big supporter of President Trump 0:16:10.610 --> 0:16:14.070 and will be that reliable vote like her brother was. Look, 0:16:14.270 --> 0:16:17.180 you got to understand this environment. We are running against 0:16:17.220 --> 0:16:21.910 the most radical, extreme Democratic Party that I have ever 0:16:21.990 --> 0:16:26.570 seen in my lifetime. I've never seen anything. This is 0:16:26.810 --> 0:16:29.570 a party that voted against no tax on tips, no 0:16:29.610 --> 0:16:33.290 tax on overtime, no tax on social security. They are 0:16:33.570 --> 0:16:37.890 out of touch with your life and they're proud of it. 0:16:38.590 --> 0:16:41.390 They are the ones pushing this Green New Deal. They 0:16:41.430 --> 0:16:44.570 are the ones that have now, since 2019, 250 democratic socialists, 0:16:44.590 --> 0:16:51.890 communists really, that have been elected that are in office today. 0:16:51.910 --> 0:16:55.370 We'll have over 40 more of them on the ballot 0:16:55.410 --> 0:16:57.600 this year. It's not just Al-Sayed. There's a bunch of 0:16:57.620 --> 0:17:00.920 them all over the country. Right now, they have 250 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:05.139 in 40 states. This is not just a Northeast phenomenon 0:17:05.260 --> 0:17:09.409 or a California or New Jersey, Illinois problem. This is 0:17:09.450 --> 0:17:12.949 an America problem. And, you know, again, I'm waiting for 0:17:12.970 --> 0:17:16.690 the day that they eventually follow AOC's lead and they 0:17:16.710 --> 0:17:19.369 just dismiss with what they really believe in, because now 0:17:19.390 --> 0:17:21.330 they're just going to hide what they really believe in. 0:17:21.350 --> 0:17:24.570 That's part of their strategy. That's why James Carville praised 0:17:24.869 --> 0:17:28.050 AOC for saying, oh, no, no, I don't believe in 0:17:28.070 --> 0:17:32.369 defund the police. That was 1.0 woke crazy. No, she 0:17:32.410 --> 0:17:35.330 does believe it. She hasn't changed her heart. Bernie Sanders, 0:17:35.369 --> 0:17:37.570 I don't know anybody who wants to defund the police. Yeah, 0:17:37.590 --> 0:17:41.950 like the entire D.S.A. Because they actually have in writing 0:17:42.530 --> 0:17:45.790 to defund the police and abolish prisons and abolish the police. 0:17:45.810 --> 0:17:49.220 That's in writing. Eliminate the Senate. We no longer choose 0:17:49.260 --> 0:17:52.680 our president. They pack the courts on the borders. They 0:17:52.700 --> 0:17:57.020 want to abolish borders. They want amnesty for illegals. They 0:17:57.060 --> 0:18:00.419 want ICE. You know, get rid of ICE. End all deportation. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:06.190 They want to eliminate cash bail. Again, abolish prisons and police. Then, 0:18:06.210 --> 0:18:08.170 of course, they want to defund the Department of War. 0:18:08.190 --> 0:18:08.630 Really? 0:18:08.670 --> 0:18:13.189 Really? As if, you know, we don't have geopolitical enemies 0:18:13.230 --> 0:18:16.140 like China and Russia and Iran and a whole host 0:18:16.180 --> 0:18:18.840 of other countries. Oh, just defund the Department of War. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.680 Don't even pay for it. Never mind the Green New Deal, 0:18:21.740 --> 0:18:26.270 which is, you know, guaranteed government healthy food. Guaranteed date 0:18:26.330 --> 0:18:29.030 night coverage, according to Mamdani in New York. If you 0:18:29.050 --> 0:18:30.209 want to go on a date night, we'll give you 0:18:30.250 --> 0:18:33.510 free daycare. As if your kids aren't indoctrinated enough in 0:18:33.570 --> 0:18:38.500 government-run schools that have failed spectacularly. It's just it's unbelievable, 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.080 you know, but, you know, guaranteed daycare. So we're going 0:18:42.100 --> 0:18:44.960 to have liberal indoctrination starting at an even younger age 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.930 before they even get to a public school. Then, of course, 0:18:49.109 --> 0:18:51.169 you know, school is going to be free. School is 0:18:51.210 --> 0:18:56.430 a disaster. Government run schools are a disaster. Government health care, Obamacare, 0:18:56.510 --> 0:18:59.810 they promise keep your doctor plan, save money. That's a disaster, 0:19:00.470 --> 0:19:04.740 a failure. Lockbox, Social Security, a failure. But they're going 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.659 to guarantee a government job, government salary, government healthy food, 0:19:09.180 --> 0:19:13.020 government retirement, government health care. Guarantee, guarantee, guarantee, guarantee. And 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:17.180 they have no earthly idea how much this would ever 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.639 cost the American people. All they know is they want 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:24.100 to be empowered. And if they're empowered, then they would 0:19:24.380 --> 0:19:27.699 move forward with this radicalized agenda. Even those that have 0:19:27.770 --> 0:19:30.190 now looked at the polling and see that it's not 0:19:30.270 --> 0:19:35.000 popular with you, the American people. You know, again, that's 0:19:35.020 --> 0:19:37.859 why I want somebody that supports we're running against the 0:19:37.940 --> 0:19:44.550 swamp and we're running against radical, extreme leftist liberals, socialists, 0:19:45.150 --> 0:19:47.369 Marxist communists stated. I don't care what you want to 0:19:47.410 --> 0:19:50.180 call them. They are who they are, you know. and 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:54.359 the president, like, okay, you know, just look at how 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.359 the American people feel. They don't talk about Donald Trump's success. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.680 They don't ever want to. They're never going to point 0:20:02.740 --> 0:20:06.670 out the radicalism of the candidates they are supporting. They 0:20:06.710 --> 0:20:10.090 won't do it. The legacy media mob is corrupted and 0:20:10.150 --> 0:20:14.670 abusively biased. And they want, in 70 days, they want 0:20:14.730 --> 0:20:18.480 these radicals in power. They won't do their job and 0:20:18.540 --> 0:20:21.640 vet these candidates. That's why I think a show like 0:20:21.660 --> 0:20:25.580 this is important. Thank you for your support. Because besides 0:20:25.660 --> 0:20:28.740 me on Fox and here and a few of us 0:20:28.859 --> 0:20:33.140 on radio and a few on podcast land and a few, 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.389 there's not a lot of us. And there is an 0:20:37.510 --> 0:20:41.389 information crisis in the country. You know, not a single 0:20:41.490 --> 0:20:45.470 illegal alien has been released into our country for 15 months. 0:20:46.190 --> 0:20:49.109 We had over 12 million illegals that we know of. 0:20:49.380 --> 0:20:52.260 How many gotaways we don't even know. And then we 0:20:52.300 --> 0:20:54.680 know out of the 12 million that from 200 countries, 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.940 we know known terrorists got into the country, released into 0:20:57.980 --> 0:21:02.550 the country. We know no murderers got in and rapists 0:21:03.150 --> 0:21:06.149 and child molesters and other violent criminals and cartel and 0:21:06.190 --> 0:21:09.879 gang members. We know that all happened. The president stopped it, 0:21:09.930 --> 0:21:12.500 secured the border. Does anyone in the media ever say, hey, 0:21:13.030 --> 0:21:14.790 that was a really good job. The president proved that 0:21:14.810 --> 0:21:18.550 we can control the borders. Actually, when Biden, Harris, Mayorkas 0:21:18.570 --> 0:21:21.230 said they were just flat out lying. But this is 0:21:21.310 --> 0:21:24.370 all in the ballot in 70 days. And I don't 0:21:24.390 --> 0:21:26.070 think I know it's the middle of August. That's why, 0:21:26.090 --> 0:21:27.300 you know, I'm telling you, it's going to be a 0:21:27.300 --> 0:21:30.720 low turnout election. in the runoff in South Carolina today, 0:21:30.740 --> 0:21:34.320 but I'm just telling you, ISIS arrested 10,000 gang members. 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.730 You know, they have literally thousands of children that were 0:21:39.950 --> 0:21:41.929 used to come into our country. They've been able to 0:21:42.070 --> 0:21:45.750 save these kids. Nobody ever talks about that either. Or 0:21:45.770 --> 0:21:50.270 the president taking on the Holt-Fentanyl Act or designating, you know, 0:21:50.310 --> 0:21:54.310 all these cartel and terrorist groups as terrorist groups, you know, 0:21:54.330 --> 0:21:58.570 Trend de Aragua, MS-13 and others. You know, on crime 0:21:58.710 --> 0:22:02.770 in 2025, God bless Kash Patel. Poor guy never gets 0:22:02.830 --> 0:22:06.570 any credit. Everyone attacks him constantly. You know, in 20 0:22:06.570 --> 0:22:10.300 last year, you know, we have the lowest level murder 0:22:10.460 --> 0:22:12.760 rate in 125 years. Anyone in the media ever tell 0:22:12.780 --> 0:22:15.520 you that? No, they won't. You know, where that crime 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.020 is is plummeted now for the first half of 2026 0:22:19.020 --> 0:22:22.430 on top of that record year last year. And, you know, 0:22:22.869 --> 0:22:25.760 in the same period of time, murders are down 23%, 0:22:25.750 --> 0:22:30.669 violent crime down 10.6%, rapes down 18.6%, nine of the 0:22:30.670 --> 0:22:35.570 10 most wanted FBI criminals, fugitives captured. Biden got four 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.500 in four years. This is in 18 months. You know, 0:22:39.580 --> 0:22:45.219 DEI out a record 103% recruitment level in the military. 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:48.760 The highest numbers we've seen in 15 years. I mean, 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.980 it's unbelievable. You know, the president achieved record oil and 0:22:53.030 --> 0:22:57.850
