Tim Scott Lays Out the Path to a GOP Senate; Can Steve Hilton Save California · The Alex Marlow Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's the Alex Marlow Show.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is the Alex Marlow Show, and I'm glad you're here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's going to be really action-packed here because we're expecting
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to hear from Steve Hilton any minute now. He's going
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: to be calling in. We also have Senator Tim Scott
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: joining us in the second half of the show. What's
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: known as the bottom of the hour in the radio business,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and Sean himself explained this to me, it's because the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: minute hand on the clock points down towards the bottom
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of the clock. That's why we call 30 minutes after
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the hour the bottom of the hour. This is a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: running bit on the show now because I can't believe
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I was on the radio for about Seven, eight, nine
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: years before anyone pointed that out to me. But now
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I know. That's what it is. And then the big
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: question we've got to start the show today is, have
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you passed the bar exam? Because if you've not passed
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the bar exam, you have no right to be here.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You should not be employable. At least that's what we're
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: hearing about the new White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: who got a degree in law from Pepperdine University, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: may or may not have suggested she was a practicing attorney.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. But apparently she did not necessarily
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: pass the bar exam. It seems like we're getting the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: bottom of that. And people are saying she actually never
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: passed it. And so apparently she took it and did
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: not pass it. And it was at a point of
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: her life where she was moving to China to do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: some work. Her husband was doing work there. They're going
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to live in Beijing for a while. They're going to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: do stuff. And she's going to provide legal advice to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a firm there. But it didn't necessarily necessitate passing the bar.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And then she took it. I guess she didn't pass it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: She was planning a wedding there. And then she didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: end up going back and actually passing it. And so
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the question is, does this disqualify you for being the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: press flack for President Trump? And the answer, of course,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is no. And this is just the latest hysteria. It
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: is the latest thing that we'll all talk about for
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a day and a half, and then it will go away. Now,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, if she was dishonest on her resume,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: which I don't know if that's true or not. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: don't know what the conversations were like with Suzy Wilde,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: with President Trump. If she gave them the impression that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: she was some sort of a top flight attorney, then
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that could be a problem. But that's something that only
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a few people will know the truth on that one.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But overall, the thought that failing the bar disqualifies you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: from holding a public office. Well, I got news for you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I got someone coming from California. This is going to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: disqualify Kamala Harris, who failed the bar her first time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And in particular, my favorite example with is Antonio Villaraigosa,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: who is the mayor of LA and could one day
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: be the governor of California. Who knows? One day a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: guy ran the DNC. This is a guy who was
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: known as Villaraigosa possibly because He failed the bar four
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: times and never passed. So it's a, you could, I'm sorry,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: he ran the DNC convention. I want to be clear
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: on that. Jerry Brown failed the bar at some point. Oh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and of course my favorite, Kim Kardashian. She did not pass.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: So she famously went to law school. Like what is the, the,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: isn't the whole point of being rich and famous? So
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you don't have to do stuff like go to law school.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So she gets rich and famous. She gets, I guess,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: some insecurity about her herself ends up getting a law
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: degree and then doesn't pass the bar. Um, all right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: So there you go. So that's what is the latest discussion.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: We're 19 days out from results day, not even election day.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: People are voting and is the new press secretary who
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Trump obviously chose for media acumen. Hopefully she displays that
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: wasn't the greatest press conference of all time or first one,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: but she's going to get another couple of tries. I'm sure. Uh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: but overall that she, I guess it may be, maybe
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: exaggerated a touch about her ability to practice law. Um,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: She lives in California also, or she'll be moving, allegedly,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: according to reports. But she lives in California. The California
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: bar is supposed to be hard. It's got a pretty
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: high fail rate. And if you have distractions in your life,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: then I don't know what to tell you. This is
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: just not a disqualifying thing. However, dishonesty could be. So
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if she was dishonest or not. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that'll be the real thing to watch, not whether or
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: not she took the bar. All right. Keeping up with
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a two-day streak that we've got going, I'm now going
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to get into some horrific economic numbers that came out.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: PPI over 6%. So 6.3% is the producer price index,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: which tracks all sorts of different gauges in our economy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And prices are just skyrocketing. They're skyrocketing. Goods are up 2.6%
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: for the month. So that's a pretty high number for
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a year. And it's not all gas. It's services too.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And this has got the markets in a very bad
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: spot to start the day. And it could mean, I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: said yesterday, I don't think the Fed is necessarily going
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to raise. They've got a meeting coming up here very shortly.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: My prediction was they're not going to raise rates, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they'll raise in December. Now, all of a sudden, it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on the table whether or not they're going to have
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to raise rates. So food is up, energy is up,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and all of this is up more than it was
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: up last month and worse than any of the prognostications,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: which were already not good. The predicted PPI number was
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: going to be 5.4% for the year, and then it
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: came in at 6.3%, which is way higher than already
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a bad number. And one thing that is noteworthy is
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the oil prices. Oil is going to be high for
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a while. It's going to be high for a while.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The markets are now operating as if we are in
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a forever war. And I don't know if we're in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a forever war. Hopefully, Operation Economic Fury is as effective
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: as what I'm being told, both from reading available reports
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and what people tell me behind the scenes. It does
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: feel like that they're very confident this is a great strategy.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But overall, we are now eight, 10 months into elevated
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: gas prices. and the expectations are it's going to continue
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: for a long time. And I am trying to get
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of exactly what the level of oil
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: flows through the Strait of Hormuz is right now, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: it's too high. It's just way, I'm sorry, it's too low.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: It's too low, which is making the gas prices high.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And another factor, which came up again on the show yesterday,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the Houthis pummeling Saudi Arabia and no one helping them out,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and Saudi Arabia not having a not being able to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: sufficiently defend themselves in this regard is a major factor
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: because it's the second biggest oil producing country in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: world is Saudi Arabia. And so if they are getting
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: attacked by Iran backed Houthi militias, then this is going
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to be another thing that's going to jack up those prices.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And so the question is, are we in a forever war?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And will that be a narrative that it continues well
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: into maybe the 2028 election cycle? Well, I don't know.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you, if the Democrats are able to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: pull it off, despite their slate of absolutely horrific candidates
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in November and are able to take both houses of Congress—
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We'll run up the score pretty big in the House
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of Representatives so they can do all the sorts of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: crazy investigations. All of that is going to be because
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. It's just a reality. I'm giving you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the truth on the show. And again, could it be
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: worth it legacy-wise if it turns out that everyone who
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: has knowledge of such things really does agree that it
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: was worth it to take out the Iranian nuclear plant?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: The capabilities at this time, maybe, but people are really
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: feeling it, and there's not a lot of happy talk
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I can give them. I really can't give them a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: lot of good news aside from the drug prices, prescription
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: drug prices coming down 5% since Trump was inaugurated. That's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the best thing. That's what– if you are someone who's
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: trying to lobby people to vote for Republicans– That's a
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: good data point. And the zero border crossings is another
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: good data point. There are positive things. The job market,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: incredibly stable, the most stable of the century. That is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a good thing. Their wages are going up. That is
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a good thing. But overall, we are not in a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: good spot. We are not in a good spot when
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: it comes to these economic numbers. So I hate to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: give you the bad news, but that is a fact.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And how we're going to deal with that, I'll probably
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: ask Tim Scott that when he comes on the show
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: later on. All right. All right. Which one is, guys,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: can you figure out which one is my CNN clip
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of Talarico? I'm trying to figure out this one. But
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the media is actually trying to ask some pretty tough
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: questions of some of these Democrats, and they keep stepping
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in it. And again, if Republicans win, look at things
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: like this. Can we play cut six, please, guys, of
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Angie Nixon, who's running in Florida?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I want her locked up and punished in jail for
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: what she has done. And so, you know, we are
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: going to continue to stump on this campaign trail all
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: across the state from the panhandle to the keys. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: we're looking forward to them calling me senator on November 3rd.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: You want your Republican opponent locked up?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: You know, she, yeah, basically.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're locked up. This is so crazy. This is
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: so crazy. This is a person who's getting nominated by
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Party for Senate in a state that was
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a purple state. And she's saying, I just flat out
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: want to jail my opponent. I say, where are all
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the people who call all of us fascists? Where are
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: all of you? Where are all of you? Is there
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: one person who's out there who's saying this is literal fascism?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: We're going to jail our political opponents for what? The
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: crime of not being a Democrat? So this is the thing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Here's Zohra Mamdani. There's a really interesting racist guy. Bruce
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Blakeman is very close to Kathy Hochul for governor in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: New York. And I'll hopefully come back to this in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the next couple weeks, maybe even on today's show. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: this is how Mamdani talks about him. Cut 11, please.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: So I think it is hard for anyone to keep
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: up with all of the bigotry and racism that Bruce
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Blakeman exhibits on a regular basis. So I think that
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: the governor did a good job. And I'll never fault
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: someone for not being able to catch all of it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Because that is a fool's errand when it comes to
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Bruce Blakeman.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: He's responding to a debate between Blakeman and Hochul where
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Blakeman wiped the floor with Hochul. And he did great stuff.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I've got cuts. Hopefully I'll get to them. If not,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'll play them down the road. Of him talking about
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: how sanctuary policies and illegal immigration and pandering to illegals
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: has hurt the state. And Mamdani admits he did not
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: watch the debate. I'm not seeing it on the screen, guys.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I've got to see it on the screen. The– It's the,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: we did not have a, there was a debate where
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Mamdani was asked to weigh in. He weighed in saying
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the Republican was racist, even though he did not watch
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the debate. That's how insane we've gotten. All right, guys,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: this is huge. We, I need your help on this.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I need your help on this because I want to
• 9:42

  Speaker 2: TikTok of a woman claiming that she is aborting her
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: baby because it is a boy. The abortion industry, the

  Speaker 2: I can't even believe this is happening, but NBC News
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: from the famed NBC Comcast Universal, one of the most
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: evil conglomerates in the world, Tom Yamas, who does not
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: strike me as the world's brightest news anchor, who I
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: got to see him in person. I see why he's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on TV. I met him at the White House State
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of the Union event this year. but is not, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: don't think, for his mental acuity. Actually taking the wood
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: to Abdul El-Sayed. Can we play cut 15, please, guys?
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Rogers now accusing Al-Sayed of lying in this interview when
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: NBC's Kristen Welker asked about ties to the Islamist movement,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: You don't have any ties.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And your family doesn't. No.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: But newly revealed past tweets from Al-Sayed's half-sister, appearing to
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: call his answer into question.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: These tweets have emerged now. Had an amazing talk with
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the early 70s while she was in college.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Hashtag respect.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: My family has long been an MB.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: Let me finish.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Praying for all my family that supports the MB in Egypt.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Can you just explain it?
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Tom.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's funny to me.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I was born in 1984 down the street in Rochester Hills.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I was raised here in Michigan, went to the University
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of Michigan, rebuilt the health department in this city, led
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the health department.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: In this county.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: And you want to ask me about what was happening
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: in Egypt in 1970?
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Are you serious?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I get it, but you were asked a question and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you gave an answer.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: This is kind of like the same.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm telling you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I have no ties. We have no ties.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: So your mother had no ties?
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: I have never had these conversations with my mother.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I wasn't raised by my mother.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So you were unaware?
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: But I'm just telling you that you're using hearsay evidence
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: from a tweet.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: This is not serious. It's just a very smug answer,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and I can't believe this got asked. And you know
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the memo is going to come down from all the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: people who are on the NBC board who are all
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: mega donors to the Democrats. It's a huge subject. It
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: was one of my big investigations in Breaking the News,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: my first book, was looking at the people who run
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: NBC and NBC Comcast Universal. And these are the most
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: left-wing people imaginable. These are Democrat donors. These are people
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: whose whole business model is heavily invested in the success
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. And you've got all of a sudden–
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: They're pointing out that he's got ties to the Muslim Brotherhood,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: which is terrorism adjacent. That's what it is. And so
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: he needs to do a better job distancing themselves from
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: it to, I think, win over a lot of Michiganders.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And there are a lot of Michigan Jews as well.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's an important voter block there. And so
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: very interesting to point that out. And also, I do
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: think the smugness and the sanctimony. in El-Sayed's response, he
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't really take it seriously. He doesn't distance himself from it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He doesn't say, I disavow that group. I don't want
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: anything to do with that group. He just says, hey,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you're asking me. I was born in 1984 and I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: grew up here and my mom, I never talked to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: her about that sort of thing. Is that effective? I
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't think it is. So that's why we need to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: continue with these economic headwinds. We need to continue to
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: point out all the weaknesses in the Democrat campaign's One
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of them is James Tallarico, who is a radical. He's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: a complete radical and a mental case, as I pointed
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: out earlier in the week. Check out this cut of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: him on CNN 14, please, guys.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: I think we have to build a pathway to citizenship
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: for our neighbors who have been here for years and decades.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: They should pay a fine. They should pay back taxes.
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: They should learn English. And if they can do all
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: those things, I think they deserve a shot at joining
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: our communities as full citizens.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: So he wants a mass amnesty. That's what he wants.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: He wants a mass amnesty for illegal aliens. And this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: is a calling card of his campaign at this point.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: He wants even criminal illegal aliens. He wants them. These
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: people are criminals by nature, and he wants a mass
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: amnesty for them. How do people in Texas like that?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: You think that's going to go? Can I give you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: some advice from the state of California? It ruined the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: whole state. It ruined the whole state. That was the
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: original sin of this state. You want to know why
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: California is in trouble? It is the fact that we
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: became a sanctuary. It is the fact that we are lawless.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Because the sanctuary, not only did we flood the country
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: with people who don't assimilate, who are drains on the system,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: on the healthcare system, they drive up prices of rent.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Not only that stuff, not only are they expensive to educate,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and we do want to educate them because we don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: want people wandering the streets all day just because they
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: just got here and they're going to put down roots.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It sent a signal to the whole public that we
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: are a lawless society, that we really, really don't care.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Also on CNN in this Tallarico cut, a Christian, this
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is on CNN, called him out for his biblical inaccuracy
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: on abortion. Cut seven, please.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Just wanted to add that the Bible is not silent
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: on abortion.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: There is the Ten Commandments that shall not kill. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: as Catholics, we take great.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Insult, I guess, sometimes was spotted that way.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: It's just amazing. I can't believe that happened on CNN.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: There's something happening here. I don't know why. Maybe I
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on, but you get CNN back
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to back. CNN back to back is going with a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: CNN and NBC back to back calling out Democrat candidates.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I find that to be pretty remarkable that that's happening.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Tallarico is all of a sudden doing press and he
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: seems like he's fine now. Did we ever really get
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of what happened to him for 12 days,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: 13 days, 15 days, whatever it was, he was gone.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: We never got an answer. I don't know if we
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: even fully got a debunked that he wasn't in the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: insane asylum. I don't think he was there to be honest,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: but I will tell you flat out. that we did
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: not get an accurate representation of what he was doing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: It is completely bizarre. Drop off the campaign trail with
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: no explanation. He's a dishonest, slimy guy. He's a type
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of guy who says God is non-binary, even though God
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the Father referred to Deuteronomy. God referred to him in
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the book of Genesis. He's nuts, and he should not
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: be in the Senate. Be right back. Who answers America's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: call for more energy? People do. Chevron is helping fuel
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: national energy security. Their U.S. production has increased by nearly 60%
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: in the past three years. And with plans to invest
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: over $ 10 billion in U.S. energy projects in 2026, they're

• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Me Now? featuring Charlie Kirk. Stream it now exclusively on salemnow.com.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: All right. It is a pleasure to have Steve Hilton
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: on with me, candidate for governor in California. And he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: become a friend over the campaign, I would say, one
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of the bright lights in a state that doesn't have many.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Let's start with that premise, Steve. Is California salvageable?
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: It is because the things that we need to do
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: to change California compared to what you might need to
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: do in some other places are pretty straightforward and it's
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: pretty basic. We've got to stop the government doing so
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: much and doing so many stupid things. The truth is
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: we got every advantage in this state. We got the
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: best weather. We got amazing natural beauty. We got incredible talent, energy, entrepreneurs,
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: a kind of tradition of disruptive business building, whether that
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: goes back over a century to Hollywood or the tech
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: industry now. We got the finest agricultural land anywhere in
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: the world. We can grow anything, do anything, make anything,
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: produce anything, except we've ended up with this bloated nanny
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: state bureaucratic government bossing us around from morning till night,
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: charging us a fortune, the highest taxes in the country
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: to pay for it, telling you how to run your business,
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: how to raise your kids, what kind of car to drive,
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: what kind of tires to use on the car, you
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: go on and on. In other words, the answer is
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: stop doing it, leave us alone, and then the rest
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: will be taken care of by the innate strengths of California.
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: But it all starts with changing the political dynamic. So
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: that's the real question. Can we elect someone who's going
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: to push back on the cost and craziness coming out
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: of Sacramento. The only hope, the only choice is this
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: governor's race. That's the only achievable change right now. There's
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: a two-thirds majority that Democrats have in both chambers of
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: the state legislature. I'm working very hard with my friends
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: and colleagues there to try and break that supermajority. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: that's not going to happen this year, most likely. That'll
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: take two, three, maybe even four cycles to make that progress.
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: But we can win this governor's race. That's a massive
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: blow against this disastrous one-party rule. And as governor... I
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: would be able to make some big changes quickly.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So you've got a shirt on that says Just Try It.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: There's a logo behind you that says Just Try It.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's a great slogan, but I want you
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to explain it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: So look, it's very simple. We can't win this election
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: with Republican votes alone. We're doing well there. We've got
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: a very strong... an energized Republican supporter base now, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: partly because of the energetic and very visible campaign I've
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: been running. I've been to every one of our 58
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: counties nonstop, getting people fired up. But we know that
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: we've got to get Democrats and independents also to vote
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: for us.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And there's a simple message to that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: I mean, look, the practical things I'm offering, everyone supports
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: in California, pretty much. Your first 150 grand tax-free, $ 3 gas,
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: capping vehicle registration at $ 73. Simple, practical things that would
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: make everyone's lives better. And there's many more like that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: But there's a barrier for people, which is, oh, I
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: don't know. Yes, we need a change. Yes, I like
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: what Steve Hilton is talking about. But I don't know
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: if I can vote Republican. I don't know if I
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: can vote for someone endorsed by President Trump. And so
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: we're very directly saying to people, look, we get it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I understand.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: But We've had 16 years of doing it one way,
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: 16 years of total one party rule. Isn't it time
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: to try something different? Just try it. Just try it
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: for four years and see what the outcome would be.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: We can't keep doing the same thing and expect a
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: different result. So just try it gets to the kind
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: of emotional component of voting, which is also very important.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It so fits with something I say in the show
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: all the time, which is how are we doing? Like
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: we have to check in on some of our experiments
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and if they're not going well, we are allowed to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: reverse score as part of the human experience. We get
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to do this and what separates us from the animals,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: like we are able to stop doing the bad behavior
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and to change our behavior. You guys put out a poll,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: an internal poll showing you within 5%, which is a
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: amazing thing if it's even remotely close to that. Tell
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: us what you are hearing from the voters. Tell us
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: about where you think the race is at at this time.
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: Well, I want to be really transparent with people because there's–
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: people see all sorts of polls going on and there's
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: a real divergence honestly between what you might call the
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: establishment polls that have been doing polling in California for many,
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: many years now, Public Policy Institute of California, Berkeley Institute
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: of Government. and they come out regularly with these polls,
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: they have the same model of who shows.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Up, the electorate.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: The model of the electorate that you assume for your
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: poll determines your answer. And so they assume the same
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: kind of Republican turnout we've had for the last 20 years.
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: And that's why the gap in those polls is still,
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: you know, the same we've had for the last 20 years,
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: about 20 points. But the polls that have been done
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: more in the moment, as it were, not just ours,
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: but for campaigns for some of the ballot initiatives, like
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: the billionaire's tax anti-billionaires tax campaign and so on, all
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: of those show a race that's much closer to 10
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: points in that range of six point lead for the Democrat,
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: eight point lead, 10 point lead.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: In other words, around 10 points or under.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: That is a very bridgeable gap, particularly in a state where,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: and what I'm hearing in answer to your question is
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: literally every day, people come up to me and say
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: many times a day, I'm a lifelong Democrat. but this
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: year I'm voting for you because we got to have
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: a change. We need some balance. Many of them say,
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: I'm not telling anyone because it's California. And so I
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: honestly don't know. I feel very confident that what I
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: said right at the beginning of this race is still true,
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: that it's going to be very difficult to win, but
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: not impossible. And because there is a chance, we got
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: to fight with everything we've got so that we can
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: actually turn this state around, which will benefit not just
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: everyone in California, But the whole country, if we try
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: and get California back in the land of common sense
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: and sanity.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: So Steve Hilton, I know you've got about a minute
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: left before you got to run. And I know you're
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: on the trail. You're going to all sorts of different
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: places today. But give me your agenda if you get
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: to Sacramento. You're working with– there's going to be a
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: lot of Democrats there. What are things that you would
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: take on right away in contrast to what you think
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: we might see from Javier Becerra if he gets in?
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: Look, I've talked about some of the specific policy pledges
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: and we'll work hard to deliver them, particularly the tax cut,
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: because the quickest way of getting more money in people's
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: pockets to deal with the cost of living crisis and
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: so on is for the government to take less money out.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: But the real mission, honestly, that I will have is
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: turning around our business climate because it's a catastrophe. Businesses
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: are leaving every single day, week, you hear these announcements.
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: We've got the highest unemployment rate in the country, the
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: highest poverty rate. We are so uncompetitive. We've got to
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: stop driving business out of California and get to a
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: point where we've got.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Lower taxes, less regulation, less litigation.
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: Just make it, right now we're considered to be the
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: most hostile business climate in the country. If we don't
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: turn that around, we're going to have real economic problems
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: of a very serious nature in California.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be the central mission.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: It tells me one more question because I brought this
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: up earlier in the show that we are a test
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: case for how overwrought illegal immigration, making it so that
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the border was flooded. I'm not saying they're all bad
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: people that got here, Steve, but we couldn't sustain it
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: as a state. It didn't work.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Talk to us where that fits into your platform.
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: Well, for example, one of the ways that we're going
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: to reduce the budget, which has bloated totally out of control,
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: it's now doubled what it was 10 years ago, is
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: to stop the totally unfair policy that Newsom introduced of
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: taxing hardworking Californians who can barely afford their health care
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: in order to give free health care to illegal immigrants.
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: That's going to end. And that is within the discretion
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: of the governor. And there's so many other areas like that,
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: where you've got vast amounts of money going into things
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: that benefit people who shouldn't even hear in the first place.
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: And right across the welfare state that's got so bloated
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: in California. So it's a really big part of the
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: fundamental mission, which is to reduce taxes and government bloat.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, tell us where we can go to keep
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: up with your campaign and to find you on the trail.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Alex.
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: It's stevehiltonforgovernor.com, F-O-R, stevehiltonforgovernor.com. And follow us on social media
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: and share what we put out. Right now, we've got
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: to get the word out. If everybody who wants change
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: in California actually comes and votes for it, we can
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: win this election.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So, at stevehiltonexpert. Everything we're putting out.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: The ads have been fantastic. I'll be enthusiastically voting for you.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I can vote at any point because they already send
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you the ballot, which is a whole other conversation, which
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I could talk to you about. But I'll let you run, Steve.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Come back before the election, please, one more time.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Thanks to your team as well.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Great to see you. Thanks, man.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I want to play this cut. This is L.A.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: City Councilwoman Imelda Padilla. This is what she says to
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: LAPD to warn illegals before ICE raids. Cut eight, please.
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: What can your department do to do more to warn us,
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: to warn the business community that outside of our L.A. borders,
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: coming in from Inglewood, coming in from, I don't know, Valley,
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: I don't know, you can warn us so that we
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: can warn our folks in the spirit of your loyalty
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: to the city of Los Angeles.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So you're asking me to warn you about an enforcement
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: action being taken by another agency before it happens?
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't do that.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: Why not?
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: That would be obstruction of justice. You may want to
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: talk to the city attorney about that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. She just flat out asked the LAPD to
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: warn illegals before ICE rates. That's what they think are
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: the problems in this state. That is a massive deficit,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: has massive crime wave, massive homelessness. I asked Hilton what
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: he's doing today off air, and he said he's going
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: around and he's got a garbage truck out, and he's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: talking about the garbage issues. And we're not good about
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the garbage. I'm working on a big investigation about how
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: a local– A garbage dump relative to where I live
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: has been shut down due to overregulation because there's like
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: 17 regulatory bodies in California. I'll do a big podcast
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: on this when the piece comes out, but it's an
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: amazing thing that I've been working on. And so my gas,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: which used to, I'm sorry, my trash, which used to
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: go 10 minutes from my house to get dropped off
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: at this dump. now has to get trucked three hours
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: away because of over-regulation. The state is run by completely
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: insane people, and we do need to try something different.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: It is just a fact. We need to try something different.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: And what's noteworthy is what does our governor do? He
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: goes around the world podcasting, Talking trash about President Trump,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: using a bunch of foul language. Doesn't solve a single problem.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Doesn't care. He's just using the office of the governor
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: to campaign for the next office. And that's what's going on.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: This crop of Democrats, you've never seen someone worse. Daria
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Leza Avila Chevalier, who is going to be a congresswoman,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: it appears. Let's play cut one of her, please, guys.
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: What is the rap sheet for this person that Jessica
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: Tish is alleging is this criminal and that the ICE
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: apprehension was valid for that perspective?
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: I was just so angry as I was listening to it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: I've gone back to her remarks to make sure that
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: I was correct in.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Our statement about it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: But to me, it doesn't even matter.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Police Commissioner Tish.
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: came out like, I understand that it is her role
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: to provide more information, and that is why she comes
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: to these press conferences. But rather than condemn ICE, rather
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: than condemn the shooting or the events that had just
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: taken place, she started to villainize Oscar.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's likely going to be the congresswoman for
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: New York, representing New York. and doesn't think that felons'
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: criminal history matters. I got a chance now because we
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: have a second here. I want to play this cut
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman, who's running for governor in New York
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: against Kathy Hochul, just completely torching her for her sanctuary policies.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Cut 12, please.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Kathy, it never would have happened but for your sanctuary policy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: You have invited criminals to come into our state and
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: prey on our communities. And now you won't let local
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: law enforcement cooperate with ICE in an orderly way like
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: we did in my county. We didn't have any incidents
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: in my county because we were allowed to cooperate with
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: local law enforcement. But you took that tool away. The
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: reason why that happened is because.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Of you, Kathy Hochul.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: That's good. Look, the contrast is so clear between which
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: sides are offering what. Democrats have gotten so radical. Republicans
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: just try and do common sense stuff. All right. One
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: thing that I do, part of my routine, part of
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: how I unwind, part of how I treat my family
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: is I cook. I'm the dinner cook in the house,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: and I've got a new device that I'm using called
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the MyGrilly. Invented by Matt, the MyGrilly guy. It's an
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: amazing way to grill food. almost anything you can think of.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I use it for peppers and onions, for jalapenos. People
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: are using it for fries, for spinach and garlic, sauces
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and peppers. You can even cook meat in there. But
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: what's amazing is that you don't have to worry about
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: food falling through the grill grates, which as I got
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: to admit, that happens a lot, especially my jalapenos. They're
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: always going through the grates. That's over with. This is
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: a contraption and it's in a four pack, comes in
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a four pack and it makes it super easy and
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: clean to grill. I end up using less oil too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: So I think it's maha in that regard. But this
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: makes reeling fun, and you guys should check it out. Guys,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: give me the call to action, please. Thank you. 40%
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: off right now. MyGrilly.com slash Alex. MyGrilly.com slash Alex. All right.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the team. Thanks for all your help today. Guys,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bring in Senator Tim Scott right now
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: from South Carolina. Senator, it's great to have you on,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and time is always short. Uh, when we have someone
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of your stature on with me and I want to
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: go through as many races as we can in the
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: brief time, we got the road to the majority for
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. I'm feeling pretty good about the Senate, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: let's talk about some of the key States. I'll throw
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a couple out at you and I would love to
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: get your thoughts on it. Let's start with Iowa. This
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: is an odd one for me. This should be a
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: red state, but I'm not feeling too sure about this one.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: What's going on there?
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's a competitive race without any question. Ashley
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Henson's doing a really good job. She's running against a
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: guy named Turek who has never seen a tax increase.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: He doesn't like he's out of step with Iowan. So
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: good news in that race. The closer we get to
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: the finish line, the better we look. I think that's
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: fantastic news. Ashley Henson is doing a really good job.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: She will finish well. Iowa will remain red to its core.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, Alaska, the Democrats are literally cheating in this race.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: And I feel like this is the most underrated story
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in politics this year. The Democrats are trying to rig
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: an election by putting up a fake Deanne Sullivan. What's
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the status of this race?
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, going really well right now. Mary Patola is just
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: a terrible candidate and seems like not a good human being. Frankly,
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: when the New York Times comes out against a liberal,
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: that's just a lot. It doesn't happen almost ever. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: the story after story running against Mary, about Mary Patola
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: because of the way she treats her staff, the way
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: She talks about kids with special needs, the way that
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: she talks about women and abortions. I mean, she's just
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: so over everything that it's helping Dan Sullivan. Dan Sullivan,
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: a former Marine, serving well, doing well, and will remain
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: the senator for the great state of Alaska.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I think you're right, but it shouldn't be as close
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: as it is.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: It should not.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Ohio's a really tough one where the incumbent, Hugh Stead,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: is actually is less name recognition than the challenger, Sherrod Brown,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: who does this fake populist routine. Give me the state
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of that race.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: When you've been in office for 50 years, thank God
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: Bernie Marino kicked him out of office. The good news
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: for us is that the more you hear about Sherrod Brown,
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: the less you like him. Yes. Because they have a
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: personal experience. John Hustead is doing a very good job.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: We'll close well. The biggest issue there seems to be affordability.
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: No doubt that Ohioans, like most Americans, are suffering under
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: the bad decisions of the Joe Biden era. 9% inflation.
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: Trump has brought it down. We just need to tell
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: the story and create the contrast. Chair Brown, not coming
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: back to the Senate.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And he's also not the moderate that he says he is.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: He was just saying he's going to block it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So liberal.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Every Trump judicial appointment, he says he's going to
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: block it, which is just, that would have been unthinkable
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: for a far left Democrat just a decade ago. And
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: then now we're here.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: He makes the Democrat Socialists of America look conservative.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Okay. Tell me about Maine.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: That's how bad off he is.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Maine.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Troy Jackson, you know, Alex, Troy Jackson has a cousin
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: problem that we should talk about.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: We should talk about it. Talk about it, please, sir.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Listen, the guy has had to father some kids with
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: his cousin. That's the problem, number one. Number two, he
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: says he would have run as a communist. He has
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: anger issues that spills out toxically towards women. This guy's
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: economic policy is to the left of Abdul El-Sayed, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: Abdul El-Sayed wants Medicare for all in Michigan. So when
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: you think about Maine and Troy Jackson, he is out
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: of favor with Mainers because he's outside of his own mind.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, tell me about Michigan.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed might be the most dangerous, radical, weird
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: guy running for the Senate ever. Here's a person who
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: wants to abolish ICE, defund the police, open prisons. He
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: says that football is racist. and doesn't like the Detroit
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: Lions or the University of Michigan football team. I mean,
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: come on, man. Then he gets into a fight with
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: one of the most important figures in all of football
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: in the state of Michigan. We need to make sure
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: he stays in Michigan and never comes to the United
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: States Senate floor.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: He is dangerous.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: Michael Rogers will win.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: And I know he hates Bacchanal Island also, which hits
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: close to home for some people on the staff here.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: All right, New Hampshire is an interesting one with Sununu,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: a moderate guy, got a great game recognition. What's happening there?
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, John has done a fantastic job. He's running against
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: a guy named Chris Pappas. Chris Pappas has never seen
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: a tax increase he doesn't like. He's complicit with the
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: Democrat Socialist of America's agenda and someone who's so far
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: out of step with New Hampshire that in the place
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: where you say you either live free or you die,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: John Sununu is going to live free and win. So
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: that's great news from my perspective.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: My old colleague Michelle Tafoya is running in Minnesota.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Because of how crazy things have gotten with the Somalis there.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I think she's got a shot, does she?
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: She does. The number one issue in Minnesota is corruption
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: and fraud, and a growing issue of concern is gang violence,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: all led by the Somalis. The good news for us
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: is we have the right person in Michelle Tafoya running
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: against the wrong person in Peggy Flanagan, who is absolutely
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: responsible for the disaster we see in the administration in
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Minnesota around the Somali fraud and no accountability whatsoever. Let's
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: elect Michelle Tafoya and bring Minnesota... to the red column.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: They really have such terrible candidates. Senator, I got 15 seconds.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Your final pitch to the audience.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: Listen, if you want to save the America that we
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: all love, you got to vote for Republicans and maintain
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: the firewall. My story is not possible, Alex, outside of America.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: Our people are good. The people who want to change us,
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: they want to change the very DNA of what it
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: means to be American. They're called Democrat Socialists of America.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Brilliant, Tim Scott. Go in peace, to love, and serve
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Thanks, everyone.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: God bless.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
