- 0:00Speaker 1: 10 weeks out from the midterm elections, the all-important midterm elections.
- 0:15Speaker 1: And while President Trump isn't on the ballot, the Democrats
- 0:19Speaker 1: are certainly working hard to make sure his record is.
- 0:24Speaker 1: And before President Trump even concluded his closing remarks at
- 0:27Speaker 1: the historic midterm RNC, the case against the president and
- 0:32Speaker 1: the Republicans running beside him was being written in real time,
- 0:35Speaker 1: right in front of your eyes. EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW,
- 0:38Speaker 1: IT'S THE SAME PHOTOGRAPH ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR IN THE NEWS.
- 0:43Speaker 1: IT'S A GAS PUMP AND A STORY ABOUT AFFORDABILITY. A
- 0:47Speaker 1: GRAPHIC ABOUT THE PRICE OF BEEF. AND IT'S ALL TIME
- 0:50Speaker 1: TO LAND AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS
- 0:53Speaker 1: GATHERED FOR ITS CONVENTION IN DALLAS. AND NOW EVEN AN
- 0:57Speaker 1: EPSTEIN MEDIA TOUR HAS STARTED. THAT'S RIGHT. The Epstein narrative
- 1:02Speaker 1: is coming back, a group calling themselves survivors in front
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the cameras, and I have no doubt that the
- 1:10Speaker 1: Thomas Massys and Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world will
- 1:12Speaker 1: be right behind them, laying all the blame for Epstein
- 1:16Speaker 1: at Trump's feet. Democrats are betting on it because this
- 1:20Speaker 1: is a coordinated campaign, and it has exactly one goal.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Give the Democrats control of Congress in November so they
- 1:28Speaker 1: can stop Trump. POLITICO EVEN SHOWED THEIR HAND ADMITTING THAT
- 1:33Speaker 1: THE GAS STORY COULD, IN THEIR WORDS, DAMAGE REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS
- 1:38Speaker 1: IN THE MIDTERMS. IT'S A STRATEGY. THE MOST SHAMEFUL PART
- 1:42Speaker 1: OF ALL OF IT, SOME OF THE VERY PEOPLE WHO
- 1:44Speaker 1: USED TO WAVE A TRUMP FLAG ARE NOW LINING UP
- 1:48Speaker 1: TO HELP THEM BUILD IT. Before the chorus becomes the
- 1:52Speaker 1: whole song, let's do the one thing they're betting everything on,
- 1:57Speaker 1: you refusing to do. You know what that is? Remember.
- 2:02Speaker 1: They're hoping you don't remember. They're hoping you don't remember
- 2:06Speaker 1: what it was like when Democrats held power before. I'M
- 2:10Speaker 1: NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. I'M GOING TO TALK
- 2:13Speaker 1: ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THINGS WERE A WHOLE LOT WORSE. LET'S
- 2:16Speaker 1: START WITH THE $ 4 A GALLON GAS PUMP. REMEMBER THAT
- 2:19Speaker 1: UNDER JOE BIDEN GAS CLIMBED HIGHER THAN IT IS TODAY?
- 2:22Speaker 1: PAST $ 5 A GALLON. THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAS IN THE
- 2:25Speaker 1: HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. THAT WAS BEFORE ALL THE INFLATION.
- 2:30Speaker 1: BIDEN'S ANSWER WAS TO JUST BLAME EVERYONE BUT HIMSELF AND
- 2:33Speaker 1: TO The price of the pump today is high because
- 2:41Speaker 1: there's a war in the Middle East. I don't care
- 2:43Speaker 1: if you feel like we should be at war or not.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That's the reason for the high gas prices. And it's
- 2:48Speaker 1: a war this president is working to end while, by
- 2:51Speaker 1: the way, he refills the reserves Biden emptied, unleashes American energy,
- 2:55Speaker 1: and signs historic oil deals with Venezuela. One of these
- 2:59Speaker 1: men made the pain worse and lied to you about it.
- 3:03Speaker 1: The other inherited the mess and is digging us out.
- 3:07Speaker 1: LET'S TALK ABOUT THESE EPSTEIN FILES QUICKLY. AND LOOK, SOMEHOW,
- 3:14Speaker 1: THIS IS TRUMP'S COVER-UP, RIGHT? BUT LET'S REMEMBER JOE BIDEN
- 3:17Speaker 1: HAD THOSE VERY FILES FOR FOUR YEARS. FOUR YEARS. AND
- 3:22Speaker 1: HE GAVE THE SURVIVORS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. AND REMEMBER THAT IT
- 3:28Speaker 1: WAS A LAWYER OUT OF BARACK OBAMA'S OWN WHITE HOUSE
- 3:31Speaker 1: WHO SNEERED IN PUBLIC THAT ONE OF THESE ACCUSERS LACKED CREDIBILITY.
- 3:35Speaker 1: AND THEN REMEMBER WHO ACTUALLY SIGNED THE EPSTEIN FILE TRANSPARENCY
- 3:38Speaker 1: ACT INTO LAW AND WHOSE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS SINCE RELEASED
- 3:42Speaker 1: MILLIONS OF PAGES OF IT. THE CAMERAS WERE OFF. THE
- 3:45Speaker 1: DEMOCRATS PROTECTED THE POWERFUL. DONALD TRUMP RELEASED THE FILES. AND
- 3:50Speaker 1: WHILE YOU ARE REMEMBERING, WHICH ADMINISTRATION TURNED THE FBI LOOSE
- 3:59Speaker 1: ON PARENTS AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS AND ON ITS OWN
- 4:01Speaker 1: POLITICAL OPPONENTS, THE SAME FBI THAT LABELED THIS NETWORK A
- 4:06Speaker 1: CONDUIT OF RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION FOR INVESTIGATING THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP
- 4:11Speaker 1: WHEN THE COVER-UP OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE LAPTOP WAS
- 4:14Speaker 1: THE DISINFORMATION, AMERICAN DISINFORMATION. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU REMEMBER
- 4:19Speaker 1: BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR FRIENDS IN THE FAKE NEWS
- 4:22Speaker 1: AND SUPPOSED FORMER TRUMP SUPPORTERS I'll never tell you the truth.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And what's the truth? REAL WAGES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE
- 4:31Speaker 1: FINALLY RISING FASTER THAN INFLATION. YOU'RE GETTING AHEAD AGAIN. THE
- 4:34Speaker 1: INFLATION BIDEN DROVE TO A 40-YEAR HIGH HAS BEEN BEATEN
- 4:37Speaker 1: BACK DOWN. LAST MONTH'S JOB REPORT TRIPLED THE FORECAST. MORTGAGE
- 4:41Speaker 1: RATES JUST FELL TO A FOUR-YEAR LOW. AND THE DREAM
- 4:43Speaker 1: OF OWNING A HOME IS CREAKING BACK OPEN. THE DEFICIT
- 4:47Speaker 1: WAS CUT BY HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THANKS TO TARIFFS.
- 4:49Speaker 1: THE BORDER IS SECURE. MILLIONS HAVE BEEN DEPORTED. CONSERVATISM IS
- 4:53Speaker 1: SPREADING IN THE HEMISPHERE. AND AMERICA IS RESPECTED IN THE
- 4:56Speaker 1: WORLD AGAIN. That's the record. And it is precisely the
- 5:01Speaker 1: story they are desperate to bury under a mountain of
- 5:05Speaker 1: gas pump photos. So don't fall for it, folks. What's
- 5:09Speaker 1: happening right now is a pure push of left-wing propaganda
- 5:13Speaker 1: disguised as journalism. It's not an honest accounting of the
- 5:16Speaker 1: last four years, not even the last two years. It's
- 5:18Speaker 1: a rewrite, a well-funded, carefully timed rewrite dropped right on
- 5:23Speaker 1: schedule for the midterms. And they're counting on your short memory.
- 5:28Speaker 1: PROVE THEM WRONG. THAT WILL BREAK DOWN HOW THIS NARRATIVE
- 5:33Speaker 1: GETS BUILT AND HOW WE PUNCH BACK. LET'S BRING IN
- 5:36Speaker 1: THE MAN WHO RAN I'M HONORED TO WELCOME TIM MURTHAW.
- 5:43Speaker 1: WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE NARRATIVE TAKE FORM, RIGHT, TIM?
- 5:45Speaker 1: I MEAN, THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING THEIR THING. THEIR FRIENDS
- 5:48Speaker 1: IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA ARE DOING THEIR THING. AND EVEN
- 5:51Speaker 1: ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SOME PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE TRUMP
- 5:53Speaker 1: SUPPORTERS ARE DOING THEIR THING. IT'S A FULL COURT PRESS
- 5:56Speaker 1: TO FIX THE NARRATIVE BEFORE THE MIDTERMS. I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. Yeah,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you're exactly right about this, David.
- 6:03Speaker 2: It is important that voters remember exactly what the records are.
- 6:07Speaker 2: And it's our job here on the right side of
- 6:09Speaker 2: the aisle to make them remember the facts and present
- 6:12Speaker 2: them with the facts. Because the facts are, if you
- 6:15Speaker 2: look back at history, what is the Trump record? What's
- 6:17Speaker 2: the Republican record? And what's the Democrat record? Democrats, you
- 6:20Speaker 2: mentioned a couple of things, a lot of things there
- 6:22Speaker 2: in that opening monologue, excellent monologue you gave there. But
- 6:25Speaker 2: a couple of things stand out to me. The price
- 6:27Speaker 2: of gas. First of all, I would submit that there
- 6:29Speaker 2: is a gigantic difference between Between the cost of gas
- 6:32Speaker 2: temporarily spiking because you're trying to rid the world of
- 6:35Speaker 2: the worst state sponsor of terrorism versus artificially and on
- 6:40Speaker 2: purpose making prices rise because you are against the use
- 6:44Speaker 2: of fossil fuels. That's precisely what Joe Biden and the
- 6:47Speaker 2: Democrats did the last time they had authority. And they
- 6:50Speaker 2: will do it again if given the second chance. They
- 6:54Speaker 2: hate gasoline. They hate your gas-powered car. And they will
- 6:58Speaker 2: try to outlaw them if they get power again. We
- 7:01Speaker 2: know that is true. You also mentioned beef, the price
- 7:04Speaker 2: of beef. It is a joke that the Democrats try
- 7:07Speaker 2: to convince anyone that they care about the cost of beef.
- 7:11Speaker 2: They hate gasoline. They view cows as a threat to
- 7:16Speaker 2: the earth. They think cows contribute to climate change. It
- 7:19Speaker 2: was in the draft. It's in the Green New Deal.
- 7:22Speaker 2: They want farmers to have fewer cows. If they claim
- 7:26Speaker 2: to be looking out for the interests of people who
- 7:28Speaker 2: buy beef and consume beef, they're lying. If they claim
- 7:32Speaker 2: to be looking out for the interests of farmers who
- 7:34Speaker 2: raise cattle and sell cattle, they're lying. They hate cattle.
- 7:39Speaker 2: So it's incumbent upon us, David, to help them remember.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. And, you know, we're not getting any
- 7:44Speaker 1: help from our side either. I spent the weekend arguing
- 7:46Speaker 1: with people on social media when I'm posting pictures of
- 7:48Speaker 1: what the gas signs look like under Biden. They were
- 7:51Speaker 1: much higher than what they are now. And I have
- 7:53Speaker 1: people from our own side who pretend to be from
- 7:55Speaker 1: our own side. I believe that there's a whole movement
- 7:57Speaker 1: of people that really never voted for Republicans. They voted
- 8:00Speaker 1: for Trump maybe in one election or two. Maybe they
- 8:02Speaker 1: were libertarians. Maybe they were Democrats. And because they voted
- 8:05Speaker 1: for Trump, somehow they're entitled to trash Trump on everything
- 8:08Speaker 1: they disagree with about how he's governing. But I'm fighting
- 8:11Speaker 1: back on them, too. There's this whole narrative out there
- 8:13Speaker 1: trying to suggest that affordability is Trump's problem, gas prices
- 8:16Speaker 1: are Trump's problem, they're blaming the war on Iran. There's
- 8:19Speaker 1: all this negative, negative, negative. But in the two years
- 8:21Speaker 1: that President Trump has been in power, look at the
- 8:24Speaker 1: massive reversal off the cliff we were going over thanks
- 8:27Speaker 1: to Joe Biden and Democrat policies. Look, what is it
- 8:30Speaker 1: going to take, besides us telling the truth, what is
- 8:32Speaker 1: it going to take to make sure that the president's
- 8:35Speaker 1: wins are what we're talking about heading towards November, not
- 8:37Speaker 1: this fake narrative about affordability, that the Democrats should own
- 8:41Speaker 1: the detriment of affordability, not a benefit from it, right?
- 8:45Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it really just requires repetition and dedication to
- 8:49Speaker 2: actually listing out the facts and listing them over and
- 8:52Speaker 2: over and over again. On the economy and the question
- 8:55Speaker 2: of affordability, which is a word that Democrats in the
- 8:57Speaker 2: media loves, Republicans have the winning argument. Just look at
- 9:00Speaker 2: the issue of tax cuts. President Trump provided the biggest
- 9:03Speaker 2: tax cut in American history. Democrats would reverse it, and
- 9:07Speaker 2: that affects working people. If you pay taxes, Donald Trump
- 9:10Speaker 2: gave you a tax cut. You are keeping more of
- 9:13Speaker 2: the money that you earned.
- 9:14Speaker 1: There is no.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Tax on overtime, no tax on tips for service workers.
- 9:18Speaker 2: If you collect Social Security benefits, your benefits are now untaxed.
- 9:23Speaker 2: If Democrats get power back, that will go away. You
- 9:26Speaker 2: will begin once again to pay taxes on your Social Security. Another, David,
- 9:30Speaker 2: you and I have talked about this. Another point in
- 9:32Speaker 2: the affordability argument involves health care. Democrats should in no
- 9:38Speaker 2: way have any ownership over the argument of affordability in
- 9:41Speaker 2: health care. They wrote the entirety of the system that
- 9:45Speaker 2: everyone hates. They gave insurance companies everything that they ever wanted,
- 9:49Speaker 2: health insurance companies in Obamacare. in the poorly named Biden
- 9:53Speaker 2: Inflation Reduction Act. They gave insurance companies everything, and what happens?
- 9:57Speaker 2: Insurance gets worse, it gets more expensive, and it covers less.
- 10:01Speaker 2: The 340B federal drug pricing program, savings on drug prices
- 10:05Speaker 2: that the companies are providing are supposed to get passed
- 10:08Speaker 2: along to the patients, but they don't. These entities, these
- 10:11Speaker 2: medical centers, these federally qualified health centers are raking it
- 10:15Speaker 2: in through this program, not passing on the savings. In fact,
- 10:19Speaker 2: hiking the cost of drugs and bilking Medicaid, Medicare and
- 10:23Speaker 2: all the insurance companies as well. Democrats own the problem.
- 10:28Speaker 2: The fact that they are out of power does not
- 10:30Speaker 2: take away from the fact that they created, they wrote
- 10:33Speaker 2: all the laws that everyone is talking about how much
- 10:35Speaker 2: they hate them now. Do not, we cannot give them
- 10:39Speaker 2: the pen again and let them legislate some more because
- 10:42Speaker 2: they created all these problems that we're still trying to solve.
- 10:46Speaker 2: This is the argument, and we cannot let them off
- 10:48Speaker 2: the mat. These are the facts. It just takes common sense,
- 10:51Speaker 2: and it takes repetition, because, as you know, they own
- 10:54Speaker 2: the national media and most of the rest of the
- 10:57Speaker 2: mainstream media as well throughout the states as well. And
- 10:59Speaker 2: so we just have to be louder and more consistent.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Well, you know I'll be, and I know you will be,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and I can't wait to have you back on to
- 11:06Speaker 1: continue to share this message so the audience can share
- 11:08Speaker 1: this message. It's incumbent on all of us to talk
- 11:11Speaker 1: about Trump's wins so we can keep the House, keep
- 11:13Speaker 1: the Senate in this next election. It's probably one of
- 11:16Speaker 1: the most important elections. We do not want this entire
- 11:18Speaker 1: agenda being stalled out, impeachments and indictments and all this
- 11:22Speaker 1: nonsense that they'll blame on President Trump leading up to 2028.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Tim Murtaugh, great takes as always. Thank you so much
- 11:28Speaker 1: for being here. Thank you, David.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Good to see you.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Thank you. Still ahead, the media spent a week trashing
- 11:35Speaker 1: the lone juror who wouldn't let Lindsey Clancy off the hook.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Then they learned one thing about him. And the entire story, well,
- 11:44Speaker 1: it was a rapid reversal. I can't wait to tell
- 11:47Speaker 1: you about this. Shemeika Michelle is coming on to talk
- 11:51Speaker 1: about the revelation that left the left wing speechless. Then
- 11:55Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney, well, she strips down for a single ad
- 11:59Speaker 1: and the whole culture melts down. So why is it
- 12:02Speaker 1: perfectly fine when everyone else does it? We're talking about that.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And the question all of Washington is asking tonight, did
- 12:08Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell show up to vote today? We got the scoop.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Stay with us.

- 12:52Speaker 1: For a whole week, the Lindsay Clancy fan club, I
- 12:57Speaker 1: can't believe there is one, but there is, well, they
- 12:59Speaker 1: had themselves a villain. Remember the story? 11 jurors ready,
- 13:06Speaker 1: allegedly ready, to let Clancy walk free. It's a clear
- 13:12Speaker 1: woman who admits that she strangled her own three children
- 13:17Speaker 1: and one lone holdout, a hero. who refused to go
- 13:24Speaker 1: along with them. One man who would not vote to
- 13:27Speaker 1: set her loose. And they came after him with everything
- 13:31Speaker 1: they had. They called him names, said he went rogue.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Other jurors went on national television and trashed him. The
- 13:39Speaker 1: message was clear from those who hoped Lindsay would walk free.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That man ruined everything. Then on Friday morning on CBS,
- 13:50Speaker 1: one small detail slipped out that brought the whole narrative
- 13:54Speaker 1: crashing down. A fellow juror was describing the makeup of
- 13:59Speaker 1: that jury to Gayle King and revealed that the lone holdout,
- 14:05Speaker 1: the one juror with the backbone to hold the child
- 14:08Speaker 1: killer accountable, ready for it, was the only black man
- 14:14Speaker 1: on that entire panel. and the 11 who spent a
- 14:19Speaker 1: week badgering him in the cave, every single one of
- 14:22Speaker 1: them was white. Watch the exact moment the anchor realized
- 14:28Speaker 1: the hero of this story didn't fit the description.
- 14:32Speaker 3: One person of color was a person of color, a
- 14:34Speaker 3: woman or a man?
- 14:36Speaker 1: A man. A man.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Is a holdout juror a person of, a black man?
- 14:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 14:43Speaker 3: A black man is a holdout juror?
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Well, I have to sit with that for just a second.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I have to sit with that for just a second.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Short circuit. Let that sink in for a moment because
- 14:58Speaker 1: it's kind of perfect, right? Because for years, we've been
- 15:02Speaker 1: lectured endlessly by people about race, especially the left, right?
- 15:07Speaker 1: They're saying, no, where's representation on juries? There's no justice
- 15:12Speaker 1: without the diversity on the jury. But whose voice gets
- 15:16Speaker 1: heard in a courtroom, right? And the second an actual
- 15:20Speaker 1: black man used that voice, his conscience, to stand alone
- 15:26Speaker 1: against 11 white liberals and demand accountability for three murdered babies, well,
- 15:32Speaker 1: they didn't celebrate that diversity anymore. No, they called him
- 15:36Speaker 1: the problem. And now some of them are trying to
- 15:38Speaker 1: hunt him down and expose who he is. This is
- 15:42Speaker 1: what the left's idea of justice actually looks like when
- 15:46Speaker 1: the mask slips. Black man, I guess, is only useful
- 15:49Speaker 1: to them as long as he votes the way they
- 15:51Speaker 1: hope he will. The moment he thinks for himself, well,
- 15:55Speaker 1: he becomes the enemy. My next guest has spent her
- 15:58Speaker 1: career calling out exactly this type of hypocrisy. Shamika Michelle,
- 16:02Speaker 1: welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. I love watching
- 16:07Speaker 1: the left short circuit when their racism is exposed for
- 16:11Speaker 1: the world to see, assuming that the person of color,
- 16:14Speaker 1: the black man on the jury, sure, he's going to
- 16:16Speaker 1: vote to acquit a woman who strangled her kids. What
- 16:20Speaker 1: do you make of this?
- 16:22Speaker 5: You know, What a man, what a man, what a man,
- 16:25Speaker 5: what a mighty good man.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Mighty, mighty good man. How's that? Is that good? I'll
- 16:30Speaker 1: be your backup singer any day.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 16:33Speaker 5: I was actually, I just enjoyed watching Gayle King have
- 16:38Speaker 5: to grab her wig when she found.
- 16:41Speaker 6: Out that the long juror was black.
- 16:43Speaker 5: You would think she would just, you know, kind of
- 16:46Speaker 5: exhale and breathe because that's the way that I felt
- 16:49Speaker 5: when I saw it. We are so used to hearing
- 16:52Speaker 5: terrible things about black men. I don't understand why she
- 16:56Speaker 5: just couldn't for once celebrate that he actually did something moral.
- 17:02Speaker 5: But I guess I get it because the left has
- 17:06Speaker 5: always been the party of the KKK, right? They can't
- 17:09Speaker 5: stand to see a black person go out and have
- 17:12Speaker 5: their own opinion, have their own morals and values. So
- 17:16Speaker 5: what did they do? They started an online lynching for
- 17:21Speaker 5: him because they didn't like that he had his own opinion.
- 17:25Speaker 6: This is their playbook.
- 17:27Speaker 5: It's the same. It's what they've been doing for a
- 17:29Speaker 5: very long time. So I'm not shocked that they're coming
- 17:33Speaker 5: after this man. And I'm not shocked that people like
- 17:36Speaker 5: Gayle King are the slave wranglers trying to reel him
- 17:41Speaker 5: back in.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this, it really exposes, it really exposes
- 17:48Speaker 1: the racism of the left. I don't care if you're black, white, Hispanic, whatever.
- 17:51Speaker 1: If you're a leftist... There is an inherent racism in
- 17:55Speaker 1: the way that side looks at race and makes certain assumptions.
- 17:58Speaker 1: They demand people of color be on a jury because
- 18:01Speaker 1: they assume And this is the racist part. They assume
- 18:04Speaker 1: that just because somebody's black, well, of course they're going
- 18:06Speaker 1: to vote to acquit. This is how little they actually
- 18:10Speaker 1: understand the people that they pretend to represent. And honestly,
- 18:14Speaker 1: I'm not shocked at all that the lone juror was
- 18:16Speaker 1: a black man, because as a conservative and actually knowing
- 18:20Speaker 1: black conservatives and Hispanic conservatives and all conservatives, regardless of
- 18:25Speaker 1: their complexion, I KNOW THAT THE VALUES OF THE BLACK
- 18:28Speaker 1: COMMUNITY ALIGN MORE CLOSELY WITH THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT THAN THE LEFTIST,
- 18:33Speaker 1: WHATEVER YOU CALL THEIR SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, BECAUSE WHAT DO BLACK
- 18:36Speaker 1: PEOPLE LOVE? FAMILY, GOD, GUNS. THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLE.
- 18:41Speaker 1: SAME THING WITH HISPANICS. HISPANICS WANT TO WORK HARD, MAKE MONEY.
- 18:44Speaker 1: THEY LOVE GOD. THEY LOVE GUNS. THE LEFT HATES GOD.
- 18:46Speaker 1: THEY HATE GUNS. THEY'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF THE FAMILY.
- 18:54Speaker 1: protecting these children from a woman who is going to
- 18:57Speaker 1: be set free after murdering them. It doesn't even surprise
- 18:59Speaker 1: me for one bit, right?
- 19:02Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely.
- 19:03Speaker 5: We were raised, or most Black households were raised with
- 19:06Speaker 5: conservative principles. It's just that over the years, we have
- 19:10Speaker 5: been beaten to submission into thinking we have to vote
- 19:15Speaker 5: and fall in line with the Democrat Party, which is
- 19:18Speaker 5: why when somebody decides I'm going to stand against them,
- 19:21Speaker 5: they're always ridiculed and ostracized from their very own community.
- 19:28Speaker 5: We were talking about this earlier today, And someone made
- 19:32Speaker 5: the comparison that this whole thing was kind of like O.J., right?
- 19:37Speaker 5: The O.J.
- 19:38Speaker 6: Case.
- 19:39Speaker 5: A lot of black people felt like maybe O.J. was guilty,
- 19:43Speaker 5: never mind the fact that he had motive, he had
- 19:46Speaker 5: the ability to do it, never mind the fact that
- 19:48Speaker 5: there was blood involved.
- 19:50Speaker 1: The Bronco.
- 19:51Speaker 5: They wanted him to get off simply because he was black.
- 19:54Speaker 5: And this is the same thing when it comes to
- 19:56Speaker 5: this Lindsay Clancy trial. Never mind the fact that she
- 20:00Speaker 5: killed her kids. There are a lot of people who
- 20:03Speaker 5: just lean left. They are feminists. They want women in charge.
- 20:07Speaker 5: They want women to hold no accountability. They wanted her
- 20:11Speaker 5: to get off simply because she was a woman and
- 20:14Speaker 5: they're feminists and they want to watch our country fall
- 20:18Speaker 5: behind the matriarchy. And so this is the same thing.
- 20:21Speaker 5: We have people cheering and just wanting to bring this
- 20:25Speaker 5: man down because how dare him stand against the matriarchy?
- 20:30Speaker 5: How dare him stand against the principles of feminism? How
- 20:34Speaker 5: dare him make a woman have to be accountable for
- 20:38Speaker 5: her actions?
- 20:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. And I think let this be a
- 20:42Speaker 1: message to Republicans as well. I mean, the left, they're hopeless.
- 20:45Speaker 1: And the fact that Gayle King has to sit with this,
- 20:47Speaker 1: it just It really represents it's kind of unfortunate for
- 20:50Speaker 1: her to show really her mind like that. But this
- 20:54Speaker 1: isn't let this be a message to Republicans, too. There
- 20:57Speaker 1: is a strong group of conservatives out there waiting for
- 21:00Speaker 1: the outreach to come back home to the party. They started.
- 21:03Speaker 1: So I think this is the right time for conservatives
- 21:07Speaker 1: to say, hey. We're together on this. Look what they
- 21:10Speaker 1: think and come home. And that's how we win. Shamika,
- 21:14Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here. As always, great
- 21:17Speaker 1: musical prelude to the segment as well. We'll get together
- 21:20Speaker 1: after the show and I'll work on my backup vocals.

- 21:25Speaker 1: Sounds great.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Thank you for having me.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Thank you. Coming up. Sydney Sweeney, you know who she is. Well,
- 21:33Speaker 1: she did one racy ad, and the left, they're losing
- 21:38Speaker 1: their minds again. We're going to talk about a naked
- 21:42Speaker 1: double standard coming up next.

- 22:24Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney, one of America's most recognizable actresses, thanks to her,
- 22:32Speaker 1: let's just call it great genes. Well, she dropped a
- 22:37Speaker 1: new ad last week for a sports app and the
- 22:41Speaker 1: internet sleuths were quick to point out that something was missing. clothes,
- 22:48Speaker 1: and she was using footballs and a tennis racket to
- 22:51Speaker 1: cover what the censors thought needed covering. And of course, unattractive, overweight,
- 22:58Speaker 1: purple-haired non-binaries are once again absolutely losing their mind over it. Now,
- 23:04Speaker 1: the left, they can hand elementary school children books with
- 23:07Speaker 1: Naked men teaching them about homosexuality and produce a drama
- 23:11Speaker 1: called Euphoria with this particular actress, packed with nudity, and
- 23:16Speaker 1: it's fine, this appointment television. And these same people can
- 23:20Speaker 1: put their own naked athletes on magazine covers and have
- 23:23Speaker 1: everyone applaud it as empowering and brave. Well, nobody on
- 23:28Speaker 1: the left who spent the last 20 years cheering all
- 23:31Speaker 1: of that gets to suddenly clutch their pearls. And Sidney
- 23:35Speaker 1: Sweeney wasn't afraid to call it out either. When the
- 23:38Speaker 1: outrage hit, she didn't apologize. She fired back by posting
- 23:42Speaker 1: those exact ESPN covers. Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey, naked athletes.
- 23:48Speaker 1: The culture celebrated as if to say, you loved this
- 23:51Speaker 1: when they did it. So what's actually different now? I'll
- 23:55Speaker 1: tell you what's different. In this ad, the unclothed actress
- 24:01Speaker 1: happened to be a non-liberal, attractive white woman. And remember
- 24:06Speaker 1: what happened last year, this same woman who did an
- 24:09Speaker 1: ad for American Eagle, a blue jeans ad where the
- 24:12Speaker 1: tagline played on the words, great jeans. And for that,
- 24:16Speaker 1: for selling denim, the left lost their minds again and
- 24:19Speaker 1: tried to end her career, accusing her of promoting eugenics
- 24:22Speaker 1: and white supremacy over her jeans. She became an overnight
- 24:26Speaker 1: villain to the online left, where she has pretty much
- 24:29Speaker 1: stayed ever since. So the meltdown was never really about
- 24:34Speaker 1: a body, or an ad, or modesty. These are the
- 24:38Speaker 1: last people on earth standing to lecture anybody about modesty, right?
- 24:44Speaker 1: The outrage is about who she is. She's beautiful. She's unbothered.
- 24:48Speaker 1: She's white. She won't grovel, and she refuses to be
- 24:53Speaker 1: their villain. And that is the one thing they cannot forgive.
- 24:58Speaker 1: My next guest is also an attractive conservative white woman
- 25:02Speaker 1: who spends her days exposing exactly this type of double
- 25:05Speaker 1: standard at the Media Research Center. I'm honored to welcome
- 25:08Speaker 1: Justine Brooke Murray. Welcome back, David Pollak, primetime. This ad
- 25:12Speaker 1: hit my social media feed, and I said, what in
- 25:14Speaker 1: the world is this? And then I saw the response,
- 25:17Speaker 1: and it was just crazy. What do you make of
- 25:20Speaker 1: this latest ad campaign and the outrage over it?
- 25:23Speaker 7: Well, it's always an honor to be on your show,
- 25:25Speaker 7: but my favorite part about this ordeal is that the
- 25:27Speaker 7: bitter pygmies are using this as an excuse to post
- 25:31Speaker 7: pictures and videos of themselves saying, this is what a
- 25:35Speaker 7: real woman in sports looks like, as if they're implying
- 25:38Speaker 7: that in order to be a real woman, you have
- 25:41Speaker 7: to stoop to some level of mediocrity, at least looks-wise,
- 25:46Speaker 7: because if you're too attractive, that takes your womanhood away.
- 25:49Speaker 7: In the same breath, these are the same types who
- 25:51Speaker 7: say that men who still have their thingy on or
- 25:55Speaker 7: whether they chop it off. Well, they're women and they're
- 25:58Speaker 7: allowed to cheat against real women in sports. They're allowed
- 26:03Speaker 7: to whip it out and get naked in the women's
- 26:05Speaker 7: locker room. And that's empowering, but it's discriminatory if a
- 26:09Speaker 7: woman herself who is too attractive chooses to display her
- 26:14Speaker 7: own body because everyone seems to be a girl's girl
- 26:17Speaker 7: unless the girl is too attractive or too successful.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, if it was Dylan Mulvaney or
- 26:25Speaker 1: some other celebrated trans person on the left, they would
- 26:29Speaker 1: be loving. Oh, this is so forward thinking. This is
- 26:32Speaker 1: so progressive. This is exactly what we've been fighting for.
- 26:34Speaker 1: But when a real woman bears all for an ad,
- 26:38Speaker 1: and by the way, it's an ad, a very effective ad,
- 26:39Speaker 1: by the way, look at the success. I mean, you
- 26:41Speaker 1: saw the success of the jeans ad when she talked
- 26:44Speaker 1: about her good jeans. Obviously, she's very valuable to companies
- 26:48Speaker 1: with respect to her marketing ability. That being said- Why
- 26:51Speaker 1: do you think, and you just laid it out, but
- 26:54Speaker 1: if she was an unattractive woman, do you think they
- 26:58Speaker 1: would care this much? Or if she was a leftist,
- 27:00Speaker 1: do you think they would care this much? Is it
- 27:01Speaker 1: just because they perceive her as not being a leftist,
- 27:04Speaker 1: they think she's a Republican, and pretty Republicans are not
- 27:06Speaker 1: protected by feminists, right?
- 27:09Speaker 7: That's exactly what it is. ESPN, they shoved Megan Rapinoe
- 27:14Speaker 7: and her lesbian naked partnership on magazine ads all over
- 27:19Speaker 7: the place. They forced us to throw up at that because,
- 27:22Speaker 7: of course, she's a lesbian and she has droopy boobs.
- 27:25Speaker 7: But if you're too hot, well, that's considered, that's wrong.
- 27:29Speaker 6: That's oppressive.
- 27:30Speaker 7: That's part of the patriarchy because the left hates success.
- 27:35Speaker 7: And being beautiful, having good looks, that's a type of
- 27:38Speaker 7: success that you're really just born with, like certain talents,
- 27:43Speaker 7: or you have a really good plastic surgeon. But not
- 27:46Speaker 7: even the best plastic surgeons in New York can make
- 27:49Speaker 7: someone look as beautiful as Sidney Sweeney. And if they do,
- 27:53Speaker 7: I'll call it my mother because she's looking for the
- 27:55Speaker 7: plastic surgeon who did Rosie O'Donnell's face. But the left hates,
- 28:01Speaker 7: it's an ideology, it's Marxist ideology, based on the idea
- 28:05Speaker 7: that you're not allowed to strive for more or achieve.
- 28:08Speaker 7: And God forbid if you do, well, that's unfair to
- 28:11Speaker 7: those who maybe don't have natural born gifts.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why conservatives don't seize on this
- 28:18Speaker 1: more because the left always has their parades. Because look,
- 28:20Speaker 1: the fight is always over the minds of young people, right?
- 28:23Speaker 1: That seems that's where the left wants to fight. They
- 28:25Speaker 1: want to take into our schools. They want to go
- 28:26Speaker 1: on social media. They want to make it hip and
- 28:28Speaker 1: cool to be represented by a certain party. But the left,
- 28:32Speaker 1: they're always showcasing exactly like how you described it, and
- 28:35Speaker 1: I won't describe it as perfectly as you did. But
- 28:37Speaker 1: they're always, those are the people that are representing the left,
- 28:40Speaker 1: unattractive people. Then the right, we got these attractive people.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I don't think we're capitalizing on this enough. I don't
- 28:46Speaker 1: think we're showing young people how great it could be
- 28:47Speaker 1: to be a conservative, right?
- 28:50Speaker 7: Well, there's a natural movement now to the right, and
- 28:53Speaker 7: I believe it is because you've had the elitist media,
- 28:57Speaker 7: the Hollywood types, Then you had that magazine, Swimsuit, the
- 29:01Speaker 7: famous Swimsuit magazine force feeding us these overweight blimps. And
- 29:08Speaker 7: we were told we must believe that these people are attractive.
- 29:12Speaker 7: They are the pinnacle of beauty. So let's replace all
- 29:15Speaker 7: of our beauty queens with the exact opposite. That was
- 29:19Speaker 7: shoved down young people's throats for so long that young
- 29:22Speaker 7: people got sick of it and they are already sick
- 29:24Speaker 7: of it. And that's the reason why Sidney Sweeney's ads
- 29:28Speaker 7: are doing so well. And to your point, making so
- 29:30Speaker 7: much money because no amount of social engineering by the
- 29:34Speaker 7: left can beat our natural human instincts.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Wow.
- 29:38Speaker 6: Great.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Great. talk. I mean, I can't have imagined a better
- 29:43Speaker 1: person to come on to talk about this. Justine, thank
- 29:44Speaker 1: you so much for bringing your take on this. It's
- 29:47Speaker 1: crazy to me. Another ad and people are losing their mind.
- 29:50Speaker 1: But look, this is where we're at right now in 2026.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here as always. Thank you.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Coming up, a sitting United States senator has been missing
- 30:01Speaker 1: for three months. And the rumors, well, they've gone to
- 30:05Speaker 1: some of the craziest places imaginable. Why? Tonight, we might
- 30:09Speaker 1: finally get a proof of life. We'll see. All I
- 30:12Speaker 1: know is that I have a reporter who's coming on
- 30:14Speaker 1: this show who's right outside of Mitch McConnell's house to
- 30:19Speaker 1: see if he's going to show up to vote today.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Stick around for this.
- 30:27Speaker 4: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
- 30:28Speaker 4: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to
- 30:31Speaker 4: OAN Live. OAN Live is the best way to stay
- 30:34Speaker 4: up to date on the hardest hitting news and our
- 30:36Speaker 4: talk shows. And the best part is, OAN Live is
- 30:39Speaker 4: only $ 4. 99 per month. Credible, honest, and unbiased reporting at

- 30:50Speaker 4: to easily sign up for the news and conservative talk
- 30:53Speaker 4: you can't get anywhere else.
- 31:03Speaker 1: For three months. One of the most powerful men in Washington. Well,
- 31:08Speaker 1: he's basically vanished. Senator Mitch McConnell, 84 years old, the
- 31:14Speaker 1: longest serving party leader in the history of the United
- 31:17Speaker 1: States Senate. Well, he hasn't been seen on the Senate
- 31:21Speaker 1: floor since the middle of June, when a fall put
- 31:26Speaker 1: him in the hospital, followed by pneumonia, apparently, followed by rehab, apparently.
- 31:32Speaker 1: At least that's what the official statement from his office says.
- 31:35Speaker 1: And then the vacuum left by his own office's silence.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Something extraordinary has happened. The rumors have basically gone to
- 31:43Speaker 1: the darkest possible places. For months, people have openly speculated
- 31:48Speaker 1: whether he's incapacitated or worse, is he dead? Is he
- 31:51Speaker 1: already gone? There have been, and I'm not exaggerating, proof
- 31:55Speaker 1: of life questions about a sitting United States senator so
- 31:58Speaker 1: much so that he's had to post pictures in the
- 32:00Speaker 1: hospital with himself holding a newspaper. His fellow Republican leaders
- 32:05Speaker 1: insist they've spoken with him all for the same amount
- 32:07Speaker 1: of time and he's sharp and ready to work. Even
- 32:12Speaker 1: the Democratic governor of his own state has demanded either
- 32:15Speaker 1: show the public he can do the job or step aside. Now, today,
- 32:19Speaker 1: today is a special day. Today was supposed to be
- 32:24Speaker 1: the day that he returned to Washington to show up
- 32:28Speaker 1: in the Senate and make a vote, ending all the
- 32:30Speaker 1: speculation about his health or status on this earth. Now,
- 32:36Speaker 1: as of the time I've sat down to record this segment,
- 32:39Speaker 1: there had been no Mitch McConnell sighting. Nothing. We've had
- 32:45Speaker 1: health care workers go in and out. Police surround his residence.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I think his driver was seen coming and going with flowers. Now,
- 32:53Speaker 1: the Senate gaveled in. No Mitch. He was supposed to
- 32:56Speaker 1: be there. He's not there. And earlier or later, I
- 32:59Speaker 1: guess it was some point today, Politico put out an
- 33:01Speaker 1: article suggesting that he was supposed to be there this week.
- 33:04Speaker 1: His staff is saying he'll be available this week, not today.
- 33:08Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how the story is
- 33:11Speaker 1: going to end. Today just made it even weirder than
- 33:14Speaker 1: it's ever been before. He hasn't shown up. Will he
- 33:18Speaker 1: show up? All I know is that the rumors are
- 33:22Speaker 1: just getting crazier as the day goes on. Is the
- 33:26Speaker 1: senator going to show up to work or not? Just
- 33:29Speaker 1: the fact that we have to ask this story. Just
- 33:31Speaker 1: the fact that this is a conversation that we're having today.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Whether or not a senator is incapacitated, alive, or showing
- 33:38Speaker 1: up to work, that is the problem in it of itself. Now,
- 33:42Speaker 1: my next guest... is an independent reporter who has been
- 33:45Speaker 1: on this story from the very beginning. She kind of
- 33:48Speaker 1: forced it into the light when the national press wouldn't,
- 33:50Speaker 1: because she was sitting out front of his house. She
- 33:52Speaker 1: broke the emergency dispatch audio from that June morning, and
- 33:56Speaker 1: she's been camping there, doing the work of a journalist,
- 33:59Speaker 1: trying to find out if he's okay. Today, she posted this.
- 34:03Speaker 8: Desiree Townsend back at Senator Mitch McConnell's house. So I've
- 34:06Speaker 8: pretty much confirmed, I'm about 80% sure that Mitch McConnell
- 34:10Speaker 8: is not at the office. The reason why I say
- 34:12Speaker 8: that here, let me show you his Capitol Police details
- 34:17Speaker 8: actually here.
- 34:18Speaker 3: So U.S.
- 34:18Speaker 8: Capitol Police. Now, as you remember from the hospital, he
- 34:22Speaker 8: has to have that Capitol Police detail with him. And
- 34:24Speaker 8: when I didn't see them At— in the halls, I should say,
- 34:28Speaker 8: at Capitol Hill, I knew he's still here. Now, here's
- 34:31Speaker 8: the— here' s the dilemma, I think, that Mitch McConnell's staff, handlers
- 34:35Speaker 8: are going to have, is that I don't believe that
- 34:39Speaker 8: Senator McConnell is physically capable of standing. There's a lot
- 34:43Speaker 8: of press out here, everyone, so just wanted to show
- 34:46Speaker 8: you that we've got. Press here, press.
- 34:49Speaker 3: In the back.
- 34:50Speaker 8: So I don't think Senator Mitch McConnell is capable of
- 34:54Speaker 8: walking or standing. So if they do try to transport him,
- 34:59Speaker 8: they likely would have to carry him into the vehicle.
- 35:03Speaker 8: And the issue now for his office is you have
- 35:07Speaker 8: press both in the front here and in the back
- 35:10Speaker 8: of his home. So it'll be very difficult to get
- 35:14Speaker 8: him out of here.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Will he show up or won't he? And does it matter?
- 35:19Speaker 1: Joining me now, live outside of Mitch McConnell's house, independent
- 35:24Speaker 1: journalist Desiree Townsend. Welcome. I'm so excited to talk to you.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Great reporting. I have been watching your account all day.
- 35:31Speaker 1: I think the world has been watching your account. You're
- 35:33Speaker 1: the one honest journalist left, and you're asking the question,
- 35:36Speaker 1: where's Mitch? So as of the time we tape this show,
- 35:40Speaker 1: where's Mitch?
- 35:42Speaker 8: We don't quite know yet. So I am behind Senator
- 35:45Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell's home. So this row home here is actually
- 35:49Speaker 8: owned by Senator Mitch McConnell. And about 30 minutes ago,
- 35:53Speaker 8: Capitol Police came. There's still a vehicle back here. You
- 35:56Speaker 8: can see they came and they sort of set up
- 35:59Speaker 8: a perimeter here. So what appears to have happened back
- 36:03Speaker 8: in August, it looks like Mitch McConnell may have lost
- 36:05Speaker 8: part of his Capitol Police detail. He now has private
- 36:07Speaker 8: security and he also has maybe one Capitol Policed. And
- 36:12Speaker 8: so it looks like, it seems like to me, what
- 36:16Speaker 8: they will potentially do to remove him from the house
- 36:19Speaker 8: is take him out through this garage over here. The
- 36:22Speaker 8: reason why I say that when we saw Capitol Police
- 36:25Speaker 8: and a private security detail addressing each other, they seem
- 36:30Speaker 8: to allude to potentially parallel parking the vehicle in here
- 36:37Speaker 8: to where one of the doors could basically be opened
- 36:43Speaker 8: in such a way to hide him being lifted into
- 36:46Speaker 8: the car from the press's cameras. So there's still press here.
- 36:52Speaker 8: We've got Capitol Police coming in again. But I would
- 36:57Speaker 8: imagine they're going to try to move him within the
- 36:59Speaker 8: next 30 to 45 minutes. The Senate needs to vote,
- 37:03Speaker 8: will be voting at 5.30 p.m.
- 37:04Speaker 1: On Tuesday.
- 37:05Speaker 8: Cloture motion. So we'll see what happens. We're all just
- 37:08Speaker 8: kind of keeping our eyes peeled for a large vehicle.
- 37:13Speaker 8: He's typically transported in one of these black Suburbans. And again,
- 37:17Speaker 8: I think they're going to parallel park it here, have
- 37:21Speaker 8: him be lifted into the vehicle from the garage and
- 37:24Speaker 8: out of the eyes of the paparazzi. The front's going
- 37:27Speaker 8: to be too risky. But we'll see if he shows
- 37:29Speaker 8: up to the Senate floor. And if he does, I'm
- 37:33Speaker 8: going to hopefully try to get him on his way
- 37:34Speaker 8: to or from the vote, if not today, then another
- 37:37Speaker 8: day this week.
- 37:38Speaker 1: I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I THINK IT'S A
- 37:40Speaker 1: GREAT IDEA. THIS STORY, IT'S JUST SO FASCINATING TO ME.
- 37:42Speaker 1: NOT BECAUSE THE SENATOR IS GOING TO SHOW UP TO
- 37:44Speaker 1: WORK OR MAYBE HE DOESN'T. THAT WE HAVE TO WONDER
- 37:46Speaker 1: ABOUT FOR MOST SENATORS, RIGHT? THE FACT IS, BETWEEN HE'S
- 37:51Speaker 1: NOT BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC, RIGHT? ALL THESE PLACES. HE
- 37:54Speaker 1: WAS SUPPOSED TO RETURN TODAY. HE WOULD JUST STEP OUTSIDE
- 38:01Speaker 1: AND DO A LITTLE WAVE AND GET IN HIS CAR
- 38:02Speaker 1: AND GO. THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY BIG DEAL. NOBODY WOULD CARE.
- 38:05Speaker 1: THEY WOULD BE LIKE, OH, THERE'S THE SENATOR. HE'S GOING
- 38:08Speaker 1: TO VOTE. AND THAT WOULD BE FINE. AND MAYBE SOME
- 38:10Speaker 1: PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE, SENATOR, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? HOW
- 38:12Speaker 1: ARE YOU FEELING? AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL. BUT
- 38:13Speaker 1: THE FACT THAT HE HASN'T LEFT, THE FACT THAT WE
- 38:16Speaker 1: KEEP SEEING ALL THESE WEIRD REPORTS, THE FACT THAT ALL
- 38:18Speaker 1: THESE PEOPLE KEEP SNEAKING IN, THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS, THE CAPITOL POLICE,
- 38:21Speaker 1: THE DRIVERS COMING IN, IT JUST MAKES IT WEIRDER AND WEIRDER.
- 38:24Speaker 1: AND IF HE IS, JUST TOTALLY FINE. AND WE HOPE
- 38:26Speaker 1: HE IS We hope he's able to show up and
- 38:30Speaker 1: do his job and represent his constituents. That's what we're
- 38:32Speaker 1: all praying for, right? If that's the case, well, then
- 38:35Speaker 1: this should be so easy. I don't understand why all
- 38:38Speaker 1: the unless they're trying to, like, create hysteria. I don't
- 38:41Speaker 1: know unless this is the most clever Hollywood produced dramatization
- 38:46Speaker 1: of a senator returning to work ever in history. So
- 38:48Speaker 1: what do you think? I mean, the fact that we're
- 38:50Speaker 1: having this discussion is the problem in and of itself, right?
- 38:54Speaker 8: Yeah, so here's a couple issues that I think. If
- 38:58Speaker 8: he were in the capacity to actually return to the Senate,
- 39:01Speaker 8: the way you address this is you have a small
- 39:04Speaker 8: press conference and you just say, look, here's your Senator
- 39:07Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell. He doesn't feel like talking right now. And
- 39:09Speaker 8: you leave it at that. But they didn't even do that.
- 39:12Speaker 8: What I think is happening here, I personally, Personally, do
- 39:14Speaker 8: not believe we're going to see Senator Mitch McConnell back
- 39:17Speaker 8: on the Senate floor. I think this is all sort
- 39:20Speaker 8: of delay tactic. I'll be really surprised if we do
- 39:22Speaker 8: see him. I would be grateful for that. But then
- 39:25Speaker 8: he's going to have to face paparazzi questions, pressing questions
- 39:29Speaker 8: from the news. when he gets to the Senate floor. So,
- 39:33Speaker 8: you know, honestly, my opinion is he's not going to show.
- 39:36Speaker 8: I And basically, if he can get to October 1st
- 39:43Speaker 8: when the Senate hits that month-long October recess, then come November,
- 39:48Speaker 8: it's too late to hold a special election to replace him.
- 39:51Speaker 8: So he'll essentially be able to keep getting paychecks through
- 39:54Speaker 8: the end of the year. I could be all wrong.
- 39:56Speaker 8: He could end up showing up, but we'll see. This
- 39:59Speaker 8: to me all seems like just a delay tactic.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see what happens today. I'm literally
- 40:05Speaker 1: on the edge of my chair. I tried to delay
- 40:06Speaker 1: writing this segment as late as I could. I'm like, well,
- 40:09Speaker 1: I have to see something at this point. Now, as
- 40:11Speaker 1: we are right now, I think it's what? It's 5
- 40:13Speaker 1: o'clock on the East Coast. Still no Mitch McConnell sighting.
- 40:17Speaker 1: So by the time this show airs, maybe we've seen him.
- 40:19Speaker 1: I don't know, but I can tell you this. If
- 40:21Speaker 1: there is no Mitch McConnell sighting today, I look forward
- 40:23Speaker 1: to having you on this week as the days go
- 40:26Speaker 1: on so we can build in our speculation because I
- 40:28Speaker 1: think everybody wants to know. how this story ends, including me.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your incredible journalism. Thank you.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Bringing the scoop from outside the senator's house. They can't
- 40:37Speaker 1: hide because of good journalists like you. And honestly, it's
- 40:40Speaker 1: not because we're nosy. The public deserves to know where
- 40:43Speaker 1: their elected officials are. It's not a seat that they own.
- 40:47Speaker 1: It's not for their staff. It's for the public that
- 40:49Speaker 1: they represent. And they deserve to know whether the representatives
- 40:52Speaker 1: are able to show up to work. And so thank
- 40:54Speaker 1: you for holding our elected officials accountable.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Thank you, David.
- 40:58Speaker 8: I appreciate your time. And hopefully we'll have an update
- 41:01Speaker 8: by 5.30.
- 41:02Speaker 1: I'll be watching. Thank you so much for being here.
- 41:06Speaker 3: Thanks. Have a good evening.
- 41:07Speaker 1: You too. Still ahead, the fast food industry poisoned Americans
- 41:12Speaker 1: for decades. One burger chain said enough. The success, well,
- 41:17Speaker 1: it was overwhelming. We got Maha Monday coming up next.

- 42:04Speaker 1: It's Monday, which means it's time, and it hasn't been
- 42:07Speaker 1: for a few weeks, time for our Maha Monday segment tonight.
- 42:11Speaker 1: The success of the Maha movement, well, it's right there
- 42:15Speaker 1: in the numbers for years. Big food assumed that Americans
- 42:20Speaker 1: really didn't care what was in it. they said, you
- 42:23Speaker 1: want it cheap, you want it fast. And maybe you care,
- 42:26Speaker 1: maybe you don't. It didn't matter. It was processed. Maybe
- 42:29Speaker 1: you didn't know what process was. That's just how it was.
- 42:33Speaker 1: That was the whole model. That was the excuse for
- 42:35Speaker 1: pumping a generation full of industrial seed oils and chemicals
- 42:38Speaker 1: and things you can't pronounce.
- 42:41Speaker 3: Well.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Now when Burger Chain went all in on the Maha movement,
- 42:45Speaker 1: we've been talking about them, and they've been rewarded handsomely.
- 42:48Speaker 1: Steak and shake. They threw out the seed oils entirely,
- 42:52Speaker 1: started cooking with the fries and tots and tallow. They
- 42:56Speaker 1: brought in grass-fed finished beef, whatever that is. Real grade
- 43:00Speaker 1: Wisconsin butter. Whole milk, Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar.
- 43:05Speaker 1: They even ripped the microwaves out of their restaurants because,
- 43:07Speaker 1: and I quote, quality restaurants don't need microwaves. They brought
- 43:11Speaker 1: on a chief Maha officer. And now Steak and Shake
- 43:14Speaker 1: just posted its best sales year since 1992. That's a
- 43:20Speaker 1: long time, right? And it hasn't slowed down. Sales up
- 43:23Speaker 1: around 14% in the first half of this year, and
- 43:26Speaker 1: customer traffic is up nearly 6%. Real people walking through
- 43:30Speaker 1: the door spending their own money while the rest of
- 43:34Speaker 1: the fast food industry is out there wondering why customers
- 43:37Speaker 1: won't come. So let that be the lesson tonight. The
- 43:40Speaker 1: American people have finally been told the truth about what's
- 43:43Speaker 1: in their food. And they told you with their feet
- 43:46Speaker 1: and their wallets, they're telling you what they really want.
- 43:49Speaker 1: They want real food. That's the Maha movement in action.
- 43:54Speaker 1: And nobody knows more about Maha than my next guest,
- 43:58Speaker 1: the passionate mom, Air Force veteran, and my good friend, Heather,
- 44:02Speaker 1: Heather McIsaac. Welcome back to the show. I've missed you
- 44:06Speaker 1: these last few weeks. Look, Steak and Shake is raking
- 44:10Speaker 1: in the profits because they just eliminated the junk from
- 44:14Speaker 1: fast food. This is a sign of things to come, right?
- 44:19Speaker 9: Oh, this makes me ecstatic. And this makes me ecstatic
- 44:21Speaker 9: for a multitude of reasons. One being it shows that
- 44:24Speaker 9: if you just educate people, you don't need regulation to
- 44:28Speaker 9: make the decision for them. And I think that, you know,
- 44:32Speaker 9: anybody in the Trump administration or anywhere can take a
- 44:35Speaker 9: page out of RFK's playbook. And he has been spending
- 44:39Speaker 9: so much time educating consumers and getting the information out there.
- 44:43Speaker 9: He's not saying necessarily in some cases we do need
- 44:47Speaker 9: to eliminate certain ingredients. But all his messaging has been
- 44:50Speaker 9: is educate the consumer. And once a consumer is educated,
- 44:55Speaker 9: if you have a business that is based off of integrity, it's.
- 44:58Speaker 6: Going to flourish.
- 45:00Speaker 9: All of these other fast food chains that are kind
- 45:03Speaker 9: of figuring out what to do and why their sales
- 45:05Speaker 9: are plummeting have been trying to make a quick buck
- 45:09Speaker 9: using the American's health as leverage. And so to see
- 45:13Speaker 9: this company succeed makes me incredibly happy, but it goes
- 45:16Speaker 9: to prove, like I said, a handful of things.
- 45:19Speaker 6: You start educating people and giving them the.
- 45:21Speaker 9: Right information, the accurate information, and they will make the
- 45:25Speaker 9: decisions based, you know, that are best for them. And
- 45:29Speaker 9: that's what we've done. We've made information more readily available.
- 45:33Speaker 9: We've broken things down of why certain things aren't good
- 45:36Speaker 9: and certain things are good.
- 45:38Speaker 6: So the proof is in the pudding. The other thing that.
- 45:40Speaker 9: I like is though I am not a fast food advocate,
- 45:45Speaker 9: I understand that real life hits. And the first demographic
- 45:49Speaker 9: that I thought of was the sporting moms, the moms
- 45:52Speaker 9: that have kids in various sports practices, cheerleading, softball, baseball, football.
- 45:59Speaker 9: They now have an option of where they can go
- 46:02Speaker 9: when schedules get tight and they didn't have time to
- 46:05Speaker 9: prepare something. They now have an option of something that
- 46:08Speaker 9: they can not necessarily be proud of feeding their children,
- 46:12Speaker 9: but it's a much better than what is currently out there.
- 46:15Speaker 9: And I think that the tides are turning, you know,
- 46:18Speaker 9: Gen Z has been growing up in a society.
- 46:23Speaker 6: That is an information superhighway.
- 46:25Speaker 9: And so they've had all of this information at their
- 46:28Speaker 9: fingertips and they're also starting to exercise it. So I
- 46:31Speaker 9: think if any of these fast food chains want to have,
- 46:35Speaker 9: you know, a future, at least in America, they need
- 46:38Speaker 9: to do right by Americans and start changing out some
- 46:42Speaker 9: of their ingredients and offering us good whole foods. And
- 46:46Speaker 9: one other thing I just want to say is it's
- 46:48Speaker 9: not just steak and shake that is making these changes
- 46:52Speaker 9: in and out.
- 46:53Speaker 6: As a West coaster myself, I love it. Help burger.
- 46:57Speaker 9: And they are also stepping up to, they are taking
- 47:00Speaker 9: out certain ingredients within their buns. They're switching out iodized
- 47:04Speaker 9: salt to sea salt, and they're making a couple other
- 47:06Speaker 9: changes that I think, you know, maybe more expensive at
- 47:10Speaker 9: first for the company, but we'll eventually end up paying
- 47:13Speaker 9: in spades because wellness is the number one topic.
- 47:16Speaker 6: It's the number one podcasting topic.
- 47:18Speaker 9: It's one of the biggest hits on Google.
- 47:20Speaker 6: People want to be healthier.
- 47:23Speaker 9: And so by Steak and Shake being the smart ones,
- 47:26Speaker 9: they're going to benefit tremendously from this. Yeah.
- 47:30Speaker 1: And, you know, I think everything has changed. I think
- 47:33Speaker 1: Maha and I think Bobby Jr. will be excited about this.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Maha has changed everything. Like you mentioned, you're right. We
- 47:39Speaker 1: do have information at our fingertips, but I don't think.
- 47:41Speaker 1: I think now that the cat is out of the bag,
- 47:44Speaker 1: I don't think there's really any hiding it anymore like
- 47:47Speaker 1: it was hidden for so many years. Because before RFK Jr.
- 47:51Speaker 1: started giving us all this information, before we started having
- 47:53Speaker 1: these conversations, I never looked at blue Lake 5 or
- 47:58Speaker 1: red 40 or any yellow whatever. But the funny thing is, like, yesterday,
- 48:03Speaker 1: my daughter was running around the house with this. I
- 48:05Speaker 1: forget what she was eating. But someone was just like,
- 48:07Speaker 1: look at all the dyes in this. There's yellow this.
- 48:09Speaker 1: There's red this. Oh, it was a Pedialyte Popsicle. because
- 48:12Speaker 1: she wasn't feeling well. So she was taking these Pedialyte
- 48:14Speaker 1: popsicles to hydrate herself, and she's looking at the ingredients.
- 48:16Speaker 1: She's like, and these are something that is marketed towards health, right?
- 48:19Speaker 1: When you're sick, you take a Pedialyte popsicle, replace your electrolytes,
- 48:22Speaker 1: and it's filled with dyes. And so I'm sitting here
- 48:26Speaker 1: searching on Amazon for things without dyes. This is what
- 48:28Speaker 1: the Maha movement has produced, awareness to the ingredients that
- 48:32Speaker 1: are unharmful, the gums and the... and the different types
- 48:35Speaker 1: of sodiums and the dyes and all these harmful ingredients
- 48:38Speaker 1: that were put in our food for so many years
- 48:40Speaker 1: because we didn't know the difference. But now we know
- 48:42Speaker 1: the difference, and now we're demanding that the people who
- 48:44Speaker 1: feed us stop poisoning us because the cat is out
- 48:47Speaker 1: of the bag. And I don't think this ever changes
- 48:50Speaker 1: from this point forward. I think Americans are now aware
- 48:53Speaker 1: of the ingredients and what health means, and I think
- 48:55Speaker 1: everybody better get on board or suffer the consequences, right?
- 48:59Speaker 6: Oh, I absolutely agree.
- 49:00Speaker 9: And again, I think if you have a business that
- 49:02Speaker 9: is based in integrity and based in producing a quality product,
- 49:07Speaker 9: you will flourish in the upcoming economy and markets. But
- 49:10Speaker 9: if you're a business that has been based in lying
- 49:13Speaker 9: to your consumer base and trying to trick them and
- 49:16Speaker 9: trying to feed them fake this and fake that, you're
- 49:19Speaker 9: going to fall flat on your face. And again, this
- 49:23Speaker 9: is a consumer-driven market, which is really exciting because so
- 49:27Speaker 9: many people thought that we would have to implement regulations
- 49:30Speaker 9: and more government and this and that. However, that has
- 49:34Speaker 9: shown to not be the case. We've mentioned this before
- 49:37Speaker 9: during this segment, Walmart and Target are both big box stores,
- 49:42Speaker 9: billion dollar corporations who to their own, they decided they
- 49:48Speaker 9: weren't regulated to remove various preservatives and dyes from their
- 49:52Speaker 9: company shelves. And their stock is also improving tremendously.
- 49:57Speaker 6: So again, when.
- 49:58Speaker 9: You listen to the consumer, which is now educated, if
- 50:02Speaker 9: you have a business based in integrity, you're gonna do amazing.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what I love about this Maha movement.
- 50:08Speaker 1: We're making America healthy again, and it's not a political thing, Heather.
- 50:11Speaker 1: This is just an American thing. We want to be
- 50:15Speaker 1: able to eat whole food and feel good about it.
- 50:17Speaker 1: You know, people complain about prices, but if you're going
- 50:19Speaker 1: to have to spend your hard-earned money and buy this food, well,
- 50:22Speaker 1: shouldn't you at least get the food that you think
- 50:24Speaker 1: you're buying? I mean, that's what it really boils down
- 50:26Speaker 1: to at the end of the day. Let's stop spending
- 50:29Speaker 1: all of our money on sick care. Let's make Americans healthy,
- 50:32Speaker 1: and let's make sure we're feeding ourselves the right things,
- 50:35Speaker 1: and let's let the food industry do the right thing
- 50:36Speaker 1: and feed us better and stop these marketing gimmicks and
- 50:39Speaker 1: lying to us about what's in our food, pretending things
- 50:41Speaker 1: are healthy. That's why I love these segments, Heather. You
- 50:43Speaker 1: educate me, you educate this audience, and you are making
- 50:46Speaker 1: us all healthy, and thank you for that.
- 50:49Speaker 6: Well, thank you for having me.
- 50:51Speaker 9: And I've always said that the most healthy of a
- 50:54Speaker 9: person is the most patriotic of a person. Because if
- 50:56Speaker 9: you can take care of yourself, then you are not
- 51:00Speaker 9: having to be taken care of by other people and
- 51:03Speaker 9: being a lazy.
- 51:05Speaker 6: Bag of bones on society.
- 51:06Speaker 9: So I think once people start taking their health more seriously,
- 51:09Speaker 9: they become more patriotic.
- 51:11Speaker 6: They become more educated. And to some people, that's a
- 51:14Speaker 6: scary idea.
- 51:15Speaker 1: So that's it. Be patriotic, eat healthy. Thank you, Heather.
- 51:20Speaker 1: Great seeing you as always.
- 51:21Speaker 6: Happy Maha Monday.
