• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, Rogers and the Michigan racing, the anti Semis
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: have taken over the Democrat Party. Uh And and this
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: is this is a battle for this is a for
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the Jewish people. This is an existential threat that we're
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: facing right now. And so it's rg I don't know
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there was We were made for this moment. The rgency
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was made for this moment to push back against the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: anti Semis, the pro Haamas element that has now dominating
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. We can't make We got to make
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: sure it doesn't take hold of America.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So true, could not have said it better, and nobody
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: knows it better. No disrespect to Mike Rodgers in Michigan
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: or even Wandy Pine dealing with that animal Dan Bazarian
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: don in Florida, because I've got a mayor here, right,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, norm Is there is there anybody
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: worse than Mam Donnie. No.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: No, first of all, because he has the power being
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the mayor of the of the greatest city in the world.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That does for Brooklyn, kid, I can I can still
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: say that a lot of many I was mayor of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Saint Paul fair years. But New York is the city.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Uh and and you've got leadership now that that it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's a shame. It breaks my heart. I have jokingly
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: used the phrase from a kach when he lost some elections,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: saying that people have spoken, they deserve to be punished.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Nobody in New York to sures what they're getting her.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Jews in New York don't deserve what they're getting.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Well, except the ones that voted for him, though, Jews
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that actually voted for insanity. I fight with them on Twitter,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, on basebook, some of them, I'm sure I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: am very close with to one particular norm.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: No, it is, it is. It is heartbreaking though, it's terrible, terrible.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The beast is going to devour you. They're not just
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: going to devour you. And me said, you know, those
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: who you know have support presidents, who support a strong America,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: who support the Israel Jew estate, who understand the existential
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: threat of of of Hamas and and and the PLO
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and all that they're not immune from from. What's what
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: would happen if these guys, if these folks take charge.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, but I think, but I think a lot of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: people on our side are pretty confident. Look, people don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: really follow politics that much, and they go, do you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: leave Chavalier one? Yeah, she won a primary. These people
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: all have races in November, and a lot of these people,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: including al Sayed, are underdogs right now. To win their
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: races in November doesn't mean they can't win, but they
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: are the underdogs. Some of them are are pretty steep underdogs.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So are you confident that they're not gonna win the gees?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, yeah, yeah I am. I am confident. It's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you know, with the ed because people that listen, then
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, they're not voting for for social they're not
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: voting for boys and girls sports. Then if you I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: saw said last night on on on Fox uh and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: uh you know he didn't. He he didn't, he won't.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: He wants to avoid the questions. He said, well, wait,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: we're not possessing moral issues. All people care about the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: bread and butter issues. Yeah, the bread and butter issues
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that under Biden kind of you know, put inflation through
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the roof, the bread and butter issues that that uh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, if they're going to do healthcare quote health
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: care for all, they're going to bankrupt the system. You're
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: going to lose your doctors. I mean, he loses on
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: every count. So I think these folks, I just I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: don't think America, the average Americans said, okay, really still
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: loves this country. They don't love the country, okay, And
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think average America is not going to vote
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: people who don't love the country, who wanted to listen.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: This is not just a different political movement. They want
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to destroy the US as we know it. They want
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the Senate, get rid of the presidency. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it's they're looking at really getting rid of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Western culture. And Americans aren't going to vote for that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So maybe, just maybe, norm this is a gift because
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it's not like the old school Democrats, the Chuck Schumer's,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the Hakim Jeopreese. They do disagree with some of these people,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: but they're not adamant about it. You're not getting this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: collection of Democrats that are yelling and screaming about Chuck
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Schumer actually endorsed Elsa ed in Michigan. Maybe that's exactly
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what Republicans need.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you're going to see it. By the way,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in Florida is Andie Nixon is a gift.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Right, that's a difference.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, she is. She's just out of her you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: she's just out there and against it. It doesn't reflect
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: kind of the heart and soul of America. You can
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: win a primary and unfortunately in places late in my
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: old you know, haunting grounds in Brooklyn and stuff, you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: get the Democrat nomination you're going to have these these
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: these lunatics, these these bad folks in Congress. Their numbers
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: are increasing. But when you get outside of the of
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the deep you know, deep Blue, the Brooklyn, the urban centers,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: when you get to a Michigan, when you get to Florida,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: when you get to some other places around you know
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: where you got to win a statewide I just don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: think it's going to happen. And I would hope, as
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as my blessed mother would say from my lists to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: God daughters.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's not gonna God bless my aunt Beverly. You
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you didn't come out strong. Maybe you did. I didn't
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: see it. Actually, I may have been on the only
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: radio host in America, uh that on primary day in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: your great state of Minnesota. And I say that, of course,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: tongue in cheek. On primary day, I had live at
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the voting booth. Mike Lindell. He didn't win, he game
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in second. But were you endorsing him?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Oh? Goodness, gracious nor permission to speak freely? Permission to me? Yes,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I met Mike Lindell. Uh, and I appreciate
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: he supported president, but he would have been a disaster
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I once sat down with him. My son Jake was
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: there with me. We went in to meet him. I was,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you know, raising money maybe for the r jac I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: said hi, Mike second and he spoke for the next hour.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I never said a word, just sat back and.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Boom boom.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You know I heard about crack cocaine. I had heard
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: about that. I said, no, no, no, no, said you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: we're Minnesota dodged the bullet. I mean, I respect the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: president stands with his friends. Yeah, but but no, we
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: we've got a Lisa the Moons would be the first
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: African American woman elected this governor. I shall give COVID
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: a race. We've got, you know, Senate race from Chelter
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Foy can win that race, or you're running against a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: not an allowed Democrat socialist, but the far far, far left.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: No question to flat again, the Democrat nominees in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: same place as so I edited all these others in
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Minnesota actually has a shot that we would not have
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: had if the head of our ticket it was my pillow.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, and I was with Mike
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in Bedminston, New Jersey.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: By the way, I'm not against his product. I think
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you should be Governor.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: No, I agree. I agree. It was with Mike with
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the President in Bedminston, New Jersey, about a month ago,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: when the President did what he usually does. He saw me.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: They said he's the greatest. He actually told Secret Service
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: get out of the way, let's come up here. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: did the whole thing, you know what he does. It
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: was great, and Mike went on to speak when the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: President left like an hour and a half, and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: swear to God, Danielle and I walked out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: We went in, by the way, who did it without
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: taking a breath? Okay, I'm telling you I've been there
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in an hour and he's going on without taking a breath.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It is unbelievable.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Simen.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So you did mention that this big event that's funny
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in Vegas next week is dedicated to Lindsay Graham, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of course his sister Darlene is a huge one off
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in South Carolina today, I get the feeling that people
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: kind of like Ralph Norman, but we love Lindsay's sister.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: She did have a gaff. I didn't love that answer
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and that debate. But what do you think of chances
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are today? Honestly, but I.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Think, listen, I think they're pretty good because Dald J.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Trump and doust and and and the people still trust
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. She's gotta she doesn't have to prove herself.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: She's gonna have to work hard. But I trust the President,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I really do, and I on
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: this one, this one, I trust his judgment. Uh And
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and so I think with his support he's telling for
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: he's listen, President, we need members of the House and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the Senate who are going to work with the president.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And not everybody does that. I'm sorry. And Massey didn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: do it. Uh And Marjorie Tayler Green did didn't do it,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you know, Nancy Mace didn't do it. And so in
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the end, it's about getting folks who will will work
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: with the president to move the state forward. She will
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: do that. She's picking up her brother's legacy. She's committed
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to carrying it. So I am really hopeful fully supporting
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the RJC, supporting her. But a lot of it goes
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to testing Donald J. Trump on this one. And I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: think the people of South Carolina will trust him. They
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: have in the past, and I think they will continue
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to today on this Tuesday primary day.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I still love him and trust him.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Final sixty seconds, you mentioned MTG what a traiter she
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: turned out to be a Nancy Mace, And you mentioned
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Thomas masseiw who's just a low life, that's all he is.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Tuck across the same Thrills was knocking him out. R
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: JC went all in. I think so the Jew's got
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: he got himself because he's just a bad guy. He's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: not a good guy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He's a bad guy, a terrible guy, absolutely, and talker
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Carson is a terrible guy. So we were starting to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: have Now again, they're not serving right now except Nancy,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: but they're not in politics necess well, Thomas Massey's on
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: his way out. But when you see some of these
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: people pop up on the Republican side of things where
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they're blaming Israel for everything. They blame Israel for pedophilia,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they blame Israel for world wars, they blame their taxes
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: on Israel, everything on Israel. Isn't that a bit disappointing
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: on our side?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's more than disappointing, you should be frightening. And we
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have an obligation to speak out against it. So we
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: have spoken out against Tucker and his insanity. We have
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: spoken out against Canvas Owned and her insanity. We went
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: all in to get rid of Massy, and we'll take
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: on her by the way Democrats and Republicans Schumer. Schumer
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: is siding up to the folks who are going to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: eat him. They eat him, They're going to eat him up. Okay,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Democrats socialists, they're destroying the Democrat Party. And what
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the Democrats do is they kind of side up to
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: them and say, oh, yeah, we're an inclusive party with
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: These are people who want to take a part of
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: America they want to destroy. Are really the things that
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: pull this country together. Faith, family, freedom, and so we're
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: taking these folks on sid So, yeah, it is frightening.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's more than disappointing. We have an obligation to kind
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of push back real hard and make sure they don't
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: take over the Republican Party.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: No, I'm coleman. I love you so much. I'm so
