• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Happy Thursday evening, America.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I'm your guest host, Eric Eggers, filling in for Dan
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Ball on Real America. And thank you once again for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: tuning in as you have all this week. We have
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a ton of ground to cover tonight, and it all
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: starts with, in case you can't believe it, fake news.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You've all heard that term before. We've all been fed
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a steady stream of it for really the last decade.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Remember when we were told that Trump fans were Nazis
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: because of what happened in Charlottesville? Only to later be
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: told that it was actually the leftist Southern Poverty Law
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Center that was secretly funding those groups? Then, of course,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it was Hunter Biden's laptop, and it was censored, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we were told that that was Russian disinformation. Then, throughout
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the entire time of Joe Biden's presidency, we were told
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: that he was the fittest, most cognitively able person in
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the history of mankind. He's doing calculus and writing a unicycle,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: all while solving the world's problems. Well, of course, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: all know how that turned out. The point is, fake
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: news happens all the time, and it's often reported by
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: legacy media outlets, which brings us to this week and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Wedgwood polls. You may not have heard of them, but
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: their polls have actually been cited in the New York
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Times and MSNOW. Former Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow actually
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: said she dropped out of her race, partly because of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the polling they showed, releasing, showing her doing so poorly.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Abdul El-Sayed actually won that primary. And by the way,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Mallory McMorrow, not the only candidate to cite those polls
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and the impact it had on that race.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Wedgwood polls is literally the.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Very definition of fake news because this week they actually
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: admitted it. They released a statement saying, uh, Hey, sorry,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we kind of just made it all up.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: No, seriously. That's what it says.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You can't necessarily see that piece of paper, but they
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: said they did it as an intentional effort to expose
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the polling industries.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Low barrier to entry, and need for reform. Now, that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: might be true.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It could also be an excuse for their attempt to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: make money off of a flimsy work product. The point is,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: whatever their reason, the legacy news media bought it hook, line,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and seeker because it fit the narrative. Their polls showed
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Democrat candidates doing well, and they were platformed at literally
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the highest levels. Kind of a contrast to people who
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: told the truth about other stories, like laptops or elections. Although, interestingly,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: some people out there were wise enough to see through
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the fake data, including Haley Stevens. She ran against Abdul-Aziz
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in the primary election for the Michigan Senate race, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: she was actually sounding alarm.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Bells about these fake polls in a debate with him.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And look, yet again, my opponent takes jabs, except for
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he won't denounce the GOP when they are funding his
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: operation and his candidacy and now bragging about the false
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: polls that they're putting out that he's going to be
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the best one to beat Mike Rogers.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That's me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: 30 seconds.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: This is why programs like Real America are so important
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and why it's so.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Important that people like you watch so you actually know
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the truth.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: No matter what else other people say, whatever happens, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: have to tell the truth. And that's why we're so
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: happy to have our next guest. His name is Justin Murphy.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He's running for Senate in New Jersey against Cory Booker.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You may have seen a clip from his debate where
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: he said this about the war in Iran.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: President Trump calls you and says, I'll do whatever you want.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: What do I do in Iran? What's your answer?
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Finish it. Finish that war in a positive manner. We
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: can't wait halfway through and decide we don't want to
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: do this anymore. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: a radical terrorist organization that has deprived the Iranian people
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and the Persian people of their history and of a
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: decent life. They have murdered, raped, tortured, assassinated, promoted and
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: promoted terrorism all throughout the world, especially in the region
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: of the Middle East. They are a cancer on human existence.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I remember as a young boy watching those walls of
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: our November of 1979, watching the radical Islamic terrorists storm
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: over the walls of our embassy, and 52 Americans held
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: for 444 days. And ever since November of 79, the
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: IRGC in Iran has done nothing but export terror, murder, rape, oppression,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: and assassination to the region and to the world. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: it's time it stops. Four decades is enough. The Iranian
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: people have suffered enough.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: And I would say, Mr.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: President, put your cowboy hat on and get out there
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: and kick some ass and get this done and done right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Justin Murphy, you know exactly what it's like to tell
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the truth in an environment when so many other people
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: are saying the opposite.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us tonight.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I guess I want to start with your reaction when
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you found that there was an entire network of polls
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that was literally just made up, and they found their
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: way into New York Times, MSNOW, and other liberal media outlets.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Thank you for having me, Eric.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: It's really good to be here, and our campaign appreciates
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: the time to speak with you and your listeners and viewers. Pauling, look,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I can tell you, you can go back to 2016.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: And really what we've seen are pollsters kind of stuck
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: in this rut where they're using faulty turnout models. When
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: you poll, you have to have a turnout model. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: they're using a faulty turnout model in that they're oversampling
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Democrats in many cases and instances. So this is why
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I don't think we're getting an accurate feed or perspective
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: from the American people. It's the turnout model that pollsters
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: have been using where they're basically oversampling Democrats. Democrat respondents
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: thinking there's going to be certain level turnout, and it
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: just has not been the case.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Look at the polls in 2016.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: The national polls were pretty accurate, but the state-by-state polls
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: were light years off, and that really hasn't seemed to
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: have been corrected.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So one of my favorite phrases is, never mistake incompetence
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: for conspiracy. You're a Republican running for Senate in New
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Jersey in a state that hasn't elected a Republican to Senate,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I believe, since 1972. Do you believe that these fake
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: polls and the polling errors are incompetence, like they're just
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: bad at their job? Or do you think it's a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: way for these polling networks and for other people in
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the hierarchy of the political class, which is obviously dominated
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: by Democrats, to put their thumb on the scale and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: keep people like you from winning?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I think it's calculated to some degree. I mean, there
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: can be a certain measure of incompetence that's true with
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: any profession. But I will tell you, in my opinion,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I believe thoroughly that it's I think there's manipulation.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: That's just my instincts telling me that. We know, for example,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: we do not have clean voter rolls. We're finding out
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: now a lot of illegal aliens are, we just found 20,000
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: in California, 250,000 illegal aliens across four different states, voter rolls.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: I'm in New Jersey. We have issues that we know
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: that have been brought to light. And polling, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: polling can be off and it's been off. And I
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: think it's to some degree you can certainly feel comfortable
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: stating that it is a manipulation with some intent behind it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about incompetence versus conspiracy. I love when New
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Jersey governor had to come out and admit. that at
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: least 6,600 names of illegal or non-citizens were on.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: The voter rolls.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Over 400 of them actually voted. And you talk about
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: taking ownership of the role. Her first line was, before
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I became governor. So I love that she blamed her
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: predecessor in that office. But I will ask you, regardless
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of how many problems exist on the voter rolls in
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, and we know that they are literally in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: at least the four digits. You have laid out a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: case that I believe the American people need to hear tonight,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and it's why Republicans should run for office and go
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: vote for people running for office with courage. You believe
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: we actually have a much better landscape and environment for
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: conservatives and Republicans this year than other people are saying.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Tell us why.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, one of the things I've tried to
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: expound during the campaign, Eric, is that, you know, the
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: vision that the Republican Party is offering is so glaringly
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: different than what the vision we're getting from the left.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, our vision is a vision that our American
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: family can believe in and work together and build together.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: It's one of absolute astounding economic success, despite a pesky
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: three and a half percent inflation rate. I can go
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: down the list here in a minute if you need.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: You know, but the left is offering... Hate for Donald Trump.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: We offer a better, brighter tomorrow with economic freedom, economic security,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: economic opportunity, and they offer hate for Donald Trump. You know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: if you look at what the Republicans have done in
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: two years, we've had a million private sector jobs created.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: They hate Donald Trump.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: We've secured the border. They hate Donald Trump.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Our stock market has hit record highs on 82 separate days,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: which is great for Wall Street. It's even better for
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Main Street because now those middle class 401k holders are
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: now have a more financially secure retirement because 401ks are
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: at their average highest level in our nation's history. We
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: have declining crime rates. We have secure border, rising wages
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: for the middle class. We have the highest median household
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: income in American history right now for the middle class.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: We've got a manufacturing resurgence across the country. We have
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: an investment in productivity boom that's fueling that manufacturing resurgence.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: We've got the lowest murder rate in 125 years.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: D.C.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Is now a safe city. You know, I mean, we've
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: got we were paying five dollar a gallon gas under
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden. Today, it's down to between, you know, low
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: fours and four thirty, four forty. Interest rates were eight
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: percent under Biden. They're down to six to seven. Wages
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: were declining under Biden. Now they're rising for the middle class. And,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: you know, we've done an enormously wonderful thing. A million
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Americans entered the workforce last month alone because they know
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that gainful employment is available. And that's just not a statistic.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: That's someone's piece of the American dream. It's someone's piece
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: of America, its dream, their promise, hard work, rewards.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: It pays off. It's a piece of.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: What they're doing in America, which is building us, making
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: our community stronger, making our family stronger. It's someone's economic opportunity.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: It's someone's opportunity.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Gainful employment.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: These are all real people, real stories that the Republican Party,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: when we talk about that brighter, better vision tomorrow, we're
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: living it today. We've got the lowest poverty rate in
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: our country's history, the lowest childhood poverty rate in our
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: country's history. So many good things are going on. We
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: do have the gasoline and the inflation rate to continue
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: to knock down. Again, it came from 9% with Biden,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: but we've got it down to 3.5%, 3.7%. And we'll
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: continue to drop it. you know, it's unfortunate. But, you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: this is America. We put a man on the moon.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: We defeated communism. We abolished slavery. We can get by
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: a 3.5% inflation rate until we can get something straight
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: in the Middle East and get it back down under
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: three where it belongs.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: We can get by on a 3.5% inflation rate based
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: on all the stats you just laid out as a country.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's a compelling case for Republican candidates. But
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I just want to talk about your race for a second.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: You are on the ground in New Jersey. Again, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: can't think of a more challenging environment. I mean, maybe
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: like in Boston. But, you know, a Republican in New
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Jersey is challenging. What's one thing you've seen that gives
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you hope for 12 days from now?
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Well, a number of things.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Number one, the Republican Party in New Jersey can now
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: boast the most registered Republicans in the history of New Jersey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: in the history of our country. We have almost 1.7
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: million Republicans. And we take them into the voting booth
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: this November 3rd. Donald Trump came here in November of
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: 24 and received the most votes a Republican presidential candidate
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: has ever taken out of New Jersey in the history
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: of our country, almost two million. And I think, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: having not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1972,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: you know, we're looking for that new generation of Americans
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: to serve in Washington, that kind of new day for
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: New Jersey politics, a new voice in for the middle
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: class and working class of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: because I don't think we have that right now. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: there's a number of good things that bode well for Republicans.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: If we can get the turnout, we inspire people to
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: turn out for us. We have got the most registered
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Republicans ever in the history of our state. Something's going
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: well for us.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: What I like about you, Justin Murphy, is you do
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: represent a new generation of political voice, but you've got
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: throwback hair, right? And I had heard a rumor that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you had cut it. I was a little concerned, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I'm very glad to see that that is one political
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: rumor we could put to bed. Justin Murphy is still running,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and he still has world-class hair.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Justin, thank you for your time tonight. We wish you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the best of luck in two weeks.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: No, thank you for having us. It's been fantastic to
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: be here, and hopefully for a good night November 3rd.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Tune in.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: We'll be watching.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Up next, with the midterms, as you just heard, 12
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: days away, New York Times bestselling author Don Yeager is
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: going to join us to analyze the rhetoric coming from
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: not just the Democrats, but Republicans as well, and whether
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: it will be effective or not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Plus... Ilhan Omar.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Has finally spoken out about the raid of her home,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and we're going to break it down with Minnesota Republican
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: candidate for Secretary of State, Tad Jude. Plus, activist school
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: counselors are using a new tool to brainwash kids, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: we have the details.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Stay with us. We'll be right back on Real America.

• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that, America?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: There's a crispness in the air, the leaves are changing color,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and you have political advertisements literally everywhere you look. It
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: is election season, in case you couldn't tell by the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: ads you see on the TV or the text you're.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Getting on your phone.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: We are officially now just 12 days away from the midterms, and.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, I actually love election season.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It happens in the fall, so you have good weather, but, like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: not the pressure to put pumpkin flavor into everything. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: also love, really, that elections are actually just conversations between
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: we the people and the ones who want to represent
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: us about what we're doing well as a country and,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you know, the things we can improve upon. It's actually
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: just the very fabric of what made us the nation
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that we are. When Richard Nixon, for example, talked about
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the forgotten Americans in 1968, he was appealing to the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: parts of the country who weren't protesting in the streets,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: reminding everyone that we're actually a nation of laws.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: It is the voice of the great majority of Americans,
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: the forgotten Americans, the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators. They're not racist
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: or sick. They're not guilty of the crime that plagues
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: the land. They are black and they are white. They're
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: native born and foreign born. They're young and they're old.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: They work in America's factories. They run America's businesses. They
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: serve in government. They provide most of the soldiers who
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: died to keep us free. They give drive to the
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: spirit of America. They give lift to the American dream.
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: They give steel to the backbone of America.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: They're good people. They're decent people.
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: They work and they save.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And they pay their taxes and they care.
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: Like Theodore Roosevelt, they know. that this country will not
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: be a good place for any of us to live
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: in unless it's a good place.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: For all of us to live in.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That was in 1968, which made 2020 look like a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: relative walk in the park. And Richard Nixon is just
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: reminding us as a country that we actually are better
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: than what people saw in the streets and on their televisions.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Nearly two decades later, another thing happened. We had lived
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: through a hostage crisis and gas shortages under Jimmy Carter.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And Ronald Reagan decided, hey, it's a new day. The
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: art of political storytelling is literally how elections and conversations
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in this country are shaped every day.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Join us to talk about the art of storytelling.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Is someone who is a 14 times New York Times
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: bestselling author. He's been called one of the great storytellers
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: of our generation. He's got a new book out now
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: called The Business of Storytelling. Don Yeager is an author. Don,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: thank you for joining us today. I know you pay
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: attention to political conversations and who makes good.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Points and who could do things better.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: What do you make about the conversations we're having as
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a country during this election season?
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: I think right now we're having fewer conversations and more
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: shouting matches. It feels like there isn't stories to be
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: told right now. It's as if everything is about let's argue.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Let's do the best we can to destroy someone else
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: as opposed to express what it is that we really
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: stand for. I think it's been kind of a sad.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Storytelling effort in this last political season. Now, like you,
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: I love politics.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: I love the political season.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: And even though my background is in sports, I equally
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: love what happens in this season and what it means.
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: For all of us.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Your book is titled The Art of Storytelling, but I
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: agree with you. I would say that the level of
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: discourse in campaigns right now tends to be less art
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: and more rock fight. So if you could offer advice
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to people on how to make their storytelling of their
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: campaigns more artful, what's one thing you would advise candidates
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: to do?
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Well, I think one of the things they need to
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: do is tie their stories to humans, right? Unfortunately, Too
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: often we get lost in what a good story is.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: And a good story is human at its core. We
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: have to tell stories about people and about why we're
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: standing for what we're standing for. And the idea that
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: if we do this right, there truly is a brighter future.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: Right now, what we seem to be saying way too often,
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I love the rock fight reference, Eric. But what we're
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: saying right now is it doesn't really matter what I
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: stand for. What he or she stands for, they're horrible.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Let's just, you know, and the no longer is a
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: story about me. It's an effort to try to embarrass or,
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: you know, drill down on our opponents.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: There have been human moments and moments of correction in
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: your book. You talk about the best way for people
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to offer apologies. And I don't know that we've come
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: quite to the apology phase of campaigns, but you've seen
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: whether it was South Carolina Senate candidate Darlene Graham, who
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: had to say that foreign policy wasn't quite her thing,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: or Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who had to backtrack
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: from comments about his reaction to certain attacks that occurred
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: in his state.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: There have been moments of pivots. So what advice do
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you have?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: What is the best way to course correct and to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: maybe not apologize, but at least kind of own up
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that you maybe said something you didn't really mean?
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Well, first off, I mean, you kind of took away
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: the way that I would say they needed to do
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: it first, which is to apologize.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: I think to err is human, right? And we know
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: that none of us are perfect and that all of
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: us have made mistakes. And in the world of politics,
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: many of us have staked out positions that one day
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: we had to walk back. It's true.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: It happens.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: It is not the death sentence that some people might expect.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: So doing it authentically, doing it with candor and a
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: true expression of I've learned something new since I said
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: those words. People respect that. I actually think it works
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: to your advantage as opposed to trying to gloss over
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: the idea that you're flip-flopping, right, which is what they
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: love to do in politics where they, you know, some
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: of those great ads of people kind of jumping backwards and,
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: you know, doing backstands and everything else to make a
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: point that they're in a race against an opponent who
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: keeps flip-flopping.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I know in addition to writing books, you also host
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a podcast, the Corporate Competitor Podcast. And I do think
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: we have competing narratives on each side of the political
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: aisle about where we are as a country. I'll ask
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you to put your political analyst hat on for just
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a moment. I know that you are an author by
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: trade and you deal in facts, but you also deal
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: with storylines. What storyline, what narrative do you think the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Democrats are offering up about the country right now? And
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: what do you think Republicans are countering with?
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: I think that's the challenge, right? The Democrats aren't really
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: offering a narrative that says, this is the way we're
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: going to solve the problem. The narrative of the Democratic
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: Party is, we're not Trump, right? That is their entire message.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: And for a population, a group of that population, that's
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: going to work. But the bottom line is that what
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: people want to know is, what are you going to
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: do what are you going to do differently? And I
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: don't think you're getting that yet from the Democratic Party.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: I think the Democratic Party is even battling within its
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: own self, right? You know, who are we? I'm not
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: sure they know. And then you take the Republican Party,
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: and I think right now they're really lost because Trump's
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: power is waning. His popularity is a drag on a
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: lot of things. But at the same time, You know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: they have the ability, they have power, they have the
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: ability to kind of speak from power. So I think
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: what we have is actually neither party is telling a
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: story of hope, right? I don't think there's a candidate
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: out there that I'm listening to, and I'm listening to
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: a lot of them, who make me feel hopeful about
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: the future with them having an opportunity to press a
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: button saying yes or no, right? That is pretty frightening.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You have a background in sports.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You were a former writer for Sports Illustrated and you've
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: written books with athletes like Walter Payton and Deion Sanders.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Last question, Don, in 10 seconds. If you were going
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to compare the level of where we are at this
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: campaign season right now to a former sporting event, a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: game of some kind, what does it remind you of?
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'd have to say we've got to go Alabama-Auburn football, right,
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: where it's full contact from the moment the whistle is blown.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: At the end of the day, there's a winner and
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: a loser, and hopefully we'll find that, too, to be
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: true on November 4th. But this is going to be
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: a full contact moment, and I think we'll see what
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Americans will stand for.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Well, Alabama-Auburn football, and in the case of Minnesota Congresswoman
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar, potentially even evolving some relationships with relatives.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So that's Don Yeager. It's a great reference.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And he is a wonderful author, 14-time New York Times bestseller. Don,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: thanks for joining us tonight.
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: Huge fan, Eric. I appreciate you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Ilhan Omar, up next, she finally breaks her
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: silence about the investigation into her, and she's making things
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: even more weird. Former representative and candidate Tad Jude joins
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: us to discuss next.
• 22:59

  Speaker 7: You are not related to him at all.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Not that.
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: There's not some weird kernel of truth that's through some
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: game of telephone.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: Not to my knowledge.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Case closed, I guess, right?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Look, even if Ilhan Omar was joking about questions of
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: whether or not she was married to her former husband or,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: excuse me, related to her former husband, there are other
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: follow-up questions that Chris Hayes didn't ask that investigators now are.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: They've appeared to be building a huge case against Ilhan Omar,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: who's faced multiple inquiries in recent years, and now she's
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: playing the victim. That interview was the first time for
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: her speaking out after federal agents actually raided her house
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: in Washington, D.C., and it was telling. Chris Hayes and
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar spoke about the case and the allegation she
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: married her brother and the raid.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Watch this. They went room by room. And they took
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: 17 items.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Those include a number of phones, right? Including your personal phone?
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they took my phone.
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: An old phone, I believe, that was a travel phone
• 24:41
  Speaker 11: of mine.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: So she seems nervous, but obviously not too nervous to
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: ask for money. The sad thing is, is that Ilhan
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Omar has increasingly become the face of Minnesota politics. But
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: other people are reminding Minnesotans that it didn't have to
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: be this way. No matter how Ilhan Omar is taking
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: money from donors and claiming she lives paycheck to paycheck
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: while people are looking at her.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Potential $ 30.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Million financial disclosure, a new candidate for office in Minnesota,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State candidate Tad Jude, has an ad out
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: reminding Minnesotans what the state and its citizens actually stand for.
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: These lakes are still ours. These schools are still ours.
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: These streets, the ones our children walk home on, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: one our parents drove before us, are still ours. But
• 25:31
  Speaker 12: when the people trusted to protect all of this, to
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: keep the records on us, to keep the process clean,
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: to keep the decision in our hands, when they stopped
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: answering to us, you felt it, Minnesota.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Joining us now, Republican candidate for secretary of state in Minnesota,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Tad Jude.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Tad, you literally grew up with this state.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: You were elected, I think you were the youngest ever
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: member of the Minnesota legislature, elected at the age of 20,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and you've had a multi-decade career in the state. What
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: is it like for you to see what Minnesota used
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to be to now, where someone like Ilhan Omar is
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: considered the face of Minnesota politicians?
• 26:12
  Speaker 13: You know, unfortunately, Minnesota has gotten a bad rap in
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: the last couple of years with state government that just
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: isn't working very well. Ilhan Omar is the face of
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: that nationally, and we've got Steve Simon back here in
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: Minnesota as our Secretary of State, and then Governor Walz,
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: of course, and it's just been a government that doesn't work.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, we've had a lot of pride.
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: And Eli Olber may be the face of that on
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: the national level.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: So you've had a lot of fraud in the welfare system,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and obviously that's been headlines all across the country. You're
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: running for Secretary of State in that office. You'd be
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in charge of the elections in that state. What do
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you say to people who say, listen, if Minnesota literally
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: led the country in welfare fraud, isn't it reasonable to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: expect that election fraud could also have been occurring in
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that state? And that's one of the reasons why the
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: current Secretary of State, Steve Simon, refuses to turn over
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: voter roll data to the Department of Justice.
• 27:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you wonder what Secretary Simon is hiding because he
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: doesn't want to work with the cities or the counties
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: or the federal government trying to clean up our voting rolls.
• 27:23
  Speaker 13: And we absolutely need to clean up our voting rolls.
• 27:26
  Speaker 13: The Heritage Foundation did a study. Minnesota comes in 45th
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: of all 50 states in terms of election security. And
• 27:34
  Speaker 13: we need to tighten it up. We used to have
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: an honor system in Minnesota. People would take anybody's word
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: for what they were attesting to.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, with.
• 27:45
  Speaker 13: What we've seen with all the fraud going on in
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: the programs we have in Minnesota, we've been taken advantage of.
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: And needy people, I mean, moms who need help with
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: child care or people who need help with their housing
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: or people, children that need food, aren't getting it because
• 28:02
  Speaker 13: of fraudsters running off. And the first stop of a
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: nonprofit in Minnesota right now is the Secretary of State's office,
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: a nonprofit company. gets a registration at the Secretary of
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: State's office, Secretary.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Simon has been nowhere to be found.
• 28:18
  Speaker 13: You know, it's the first opportunity to stop fraud in Minnesota.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Nowhere to be found.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Well, as you noted, 45th in the country.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't look like there's been a whole lot
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: of stopping of the fraud relative to the rest of
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: the states. I wonder, I shudder to wonder what other
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: states are actually behind Minnesota in terms of fraud. That's,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: you know, that's a different program. Very quickly, because we're
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: all running out of time, but it's so important. You
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: have a radical idea to reform elections in Minnesota. If
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I've got this right, you actually want to require photo
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: ID to vote. How in the world are you going
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: to get that through in Minnesota? You also want to
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: ensure only legal U.S.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Citizens vote. Can you do that, Ted?
• 28:56
  Speaker 13: Well, it's going to be a challenge, but we're going
• 28:59
  Speaker 13: to get photo ID to vote.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: It's part of modern life, and most states have that.
• 29:05
  Speaker 13: We're the only state in the country that allows you
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: to vote, register to vote on election day, and the
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: vote goes in the ballot box before there's a provisional ballot.
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: The provisional ballot would be a safety net. We don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: have that in Minnesota. But we're going to clean it up.
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: I'm going to make it simple to vote, but hard
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: to cheat. And we're going to do that in terms
• 29:25
  Speaker 13: of business filings. We're going to do it in terms
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: of elections. And we're going to have a vote on
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: our state flag. And people want to have a vote
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: on our state flag. And that's something... I'm going to
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: fight for Go to TadJude.com, T-A-D-J-U-D-E.com. You can help us
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: get our message out.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I think just quickly, 10 seconds, what's the feedback you've gotten?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Because people forget that they literally changed the Minnesota state
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: flag to make it look much more like the Somali flag.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: You want to bring it back now.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Is that something that's been met generally with, you know,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: positive reaction? Or are people considering you to be a racist?
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: People want to have a vote.
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: You know, Secretary Simon had this backroom committee that replaced
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: our state flag.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: People would like to have a voice, would like to
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: have a vote.
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: Cities and counties are refusing to fly the Somali-type flag
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: out there, and Secretary Simon is responsible.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: We're going to get a vote.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: So if you're keeping score at home, the current secretary
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: of state of Minnesota, responsible for the Somali flag, responsible
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: for the election fraud that's happened in the state, responsible
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: for the incredibly lax, few requirements. This guy's running to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: change all that. Tad Jude, I wish you the best
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of luck, sir. Thank you for joining us tonight.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Up next, while Democrat politicians are brainwashing adults, Democrat activist
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: teachers are brainwashing your kids.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: We have the lowdown on.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: What's happening in your school, what the latest tactic, which
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: is called neuroaffirming counseling, is all about.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Stay with us.

• 31:21
  Speaker 8: conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: This right here is what the mass indoctrination of our
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: kids look like. On one side, the Democrat-Liberal side, it says, yes,
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: this is good. And then if you go to the
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Republican-Conservative side, it puts all the states and says, no,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: this is bad.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Can you believe that? Good schools are in blue states.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Bad schools are in red states. The worst part, that
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: video is actually not from a blue state. It's from
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: a school in Mississippi, which, interestingly enough, has better reading
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: scores and math scores than most blue states now. But
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: it just shows you what teachers are doing to America's kids.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: The brainwashing never stops. And increasingly, it starts at an
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: incredibly young age.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Look at this. Let's go to Texas. You see that?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Children are being subjected to pamphlets just like this one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: It's about transgenderism. This pamphlet is being mailed to kids
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: and it has them look at resources on how to
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: leave their parents out of conversations, how to travel out
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of state for transgender care. It also tells them about
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: so-called gender-affirming care and hormones.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: What a deal.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: The new problem now is actually not gender-affirming care, although
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: that's still a problem in some of these other states,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: but there's a new threat A new report exposes a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: push from something called the American Counselor Association promoting, get
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: ready for this, neuroaffirming counseling, which is rooted in critical
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: race theory, queer theory, and critical disability theory. Here to
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: discuss this new threat to your child that can actually
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: happen without your knowledge, with the school's permission, without your knowledge,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: is the president of the nonprofit group Courage is a Habit,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Alvin Louie. Alvin, we've heard about gender-affirming care, and on
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: the surface, the.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Word affirming, it seems nice, it seems pleasant.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Like we like to be positive, but why is this
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: new threat, neuro-affirming care, so dangerous?
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: Nice to see you. Always a pleasure to be on. So,
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: Let's set the tone here of what we found here.
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: So we found a framework, a new training manual, essentially,
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: that are being given to school counselors. And it's from
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: the American School Counselor Association, or ASCA, as we call.
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: Them, A-S-C-A.
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: And they drive the mental health programs and initiatives and
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: how the money is used in terms of when they
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: hire school counselors in all 50 states.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: So that's why this is so important.
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: It's not just some third party, you know, some little,
• 33:59
  Speaker 14: little organization that's releasing this. And so what we found
• 34:02
  Speaker 14: is that they're expanding the word neurodivergent, whereas before people
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: just think, oh, it's just about kids who, whose brain
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: works differently. Like if you're, you're autistic and you need
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: some accommodations or you're dyslexic and you need a little.
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: Bit accommodations, everybody's good with that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: But what they're doing is that they're dangling special needs
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: kids in front of a good hearted Americans. and saying,
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: don't you want to help these kids? Don't you want
• 34:26
  Speaker 14: to help neurodivergent kids? But what they're expanding is that
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: they're expanding it to smuggle in more critical race theory,
• 34:32
  Speaker 14: more queer theory. So now they're expanding that umbrella and
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: anyone that they want to bring.
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: In, they'll just say they're neurodivergent.
• 34:40
  Speaker 14: And that's, it's just that, it's just another rebranding. It's
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: just another way for them to continue doing what they've
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: been doing.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: So in my home state of Florida, we had an
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: example of a parent who had a child be transitioned
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: without the parents' consent. And so I think the concern is,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: is that if we are now opening up, but people
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: kind of rightly shut that down, and I think we
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: saw a lot of pushback against that. And obviously there's
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: been a push in conservative states like Florida and other
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: ones to stop the critical race theory. In many ways,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: it's been banned from some of the schools. But what
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I hear you saying is through the School Counselors Association,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: is they're opening up basically a back door to get
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: more critical race theory in on the backs of kids
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: who are neurodivergent. But based on the research that I've
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: read in the report you guys put out, this is
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: not a scientifically rigorous definition.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It's very open-ended. It's very squishy.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: So literally any child that a school counselor designates could
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: fit in. And then how does that enable the school
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: counselors to kind of start to, for lack of a
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: better term, parent that child outside the presence of his
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: actual family.
• 35:48
  Speaker 14: So all these critical race theory ban bills doesn't actually
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: do anything because they go after just a word.
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: They don't go after the root and the root is
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: in the mental health.
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: So things like culturally responsive teaching, all those kinds of
• 36:00
  Speaker 14: things are coming in through the mental health, through social
• 36:02
  Speaker 14: emotional learning.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: And so to answer your.
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: Question, the way this works is that if let's say
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: you're a child, let's say you're a black child, let's
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: say a bunch of black kids, they're not turning in
• 36:11
  Speaker 14: their work, they're misbehaving.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: Well, it's not a discipline problem now.
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: It's not a, well, let's work with the parents so
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: that they're focused more on homework at home.
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: They're neural divergent too.
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: Oh, if you have a child that comes in and
• 36:24
  Speaker 14: every other day they want to be called different pronoun. Oh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 14: it's not because we've introduced, you know, transgender ideology for
• 36:30
  Speaker 14: the last 10 years.
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: And it's, we've brainwashed them. They're neural divergent too.
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: If you have a Muslim families that wants to demand, uh,
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: accommodations for their religion. prayer rooms and different foods and
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: things like that. Well, it's not because they don't want
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: to acclimate their neurodivergent too. Now, what I said here
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: might sound ridiculous if we did not find their training
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: manual that basically expands that. So let me just read
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: a little piece from the manual itself from the author,
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: Emily Goodman Scott. And I quote, neuroaffirming school counseling is
• 37:02
  Speaker 14: grounded in critical theory, mainly critical disability theory, identifying and
• 37:07
  Speaker 14: combating systemic oppression and impacting neurodivergent youth. This builds off
• 37:12
  Speaker 14: the work of other scholars who have described critical theories
• 37:15
  Speaker 14: within school counseling, including critical race theory and anti-racist practices
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: and queer theory.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 37:25
  Speaker 14: Now, if I read that to you or read that
• 37:27
  Speaker 14: to anybody, they'll be like, I have no idea what
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: that means.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: It's just a word salad.
• 37:31
  Speaker 14: And it is to a normal person, but to these
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: trained counselors and these critical race theorists, people who push
• 37:36
  Speaker 14: transgender ideology, keeping secrets from parents, they know exactly what
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: that means. And it's exactly what I had explained for
• 37:43
  Speaker 14: the first few minutes of our conversation.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also critical disability theory. It's like basically critical
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: name and intersectionality kind of vulnerability.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: It's critical vulnerability theory.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: But what I think it does is who it actually
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: makes vulnerable are the parents. And I think that's why people,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: if you're watching this, you should be very concerned. Most
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: people have never even heard of the American School Counselors
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Association before.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Who is this group?
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: And is it very much like a teacher's union, in
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a sense, in terms of do they have a political bent?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Where does their funding come from?
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: And is this the first time you've seen them kind
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: of engage at this level, or is this just the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: latest effort they have to, I think, take steps that
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: I think many families, most parents would disagree with?
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: So the American School Counselor Association has been around for
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: a very, very long time, and they used to be
• 38:32
  Speaker 14: called guidance counselors. So many of your audience members, maybe yourself,
• 38:36
  Speaker 14: remember the guidance counselor that helped you with a college
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: exam and things of that nature?
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: They no longer exist.
• 38:41
  Speaker 14: They are now called school counselors, or using their term,
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: they call themselves social change agents. And so they got
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: turned in about 2014 under Michelle Obama's.
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: Reach Higher initiative. So she changed them into social change agents.
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: So for the last 12 years, right, since 2014, for
• 38:58
  Speaker 14: the last 12 years, they have one bent, and that's
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: nothing but queer theory and critical race theory.
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: That's all they are.
• 39:04
  Speaker 14: There is no positive from the American School Counselor Association.
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: And not only that is they manage and they drive
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: the mental health programs and initiatives in all 50 states.
• 39:16
  Speaker 14: And in fact, this is the first show that I'm
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: doing since we released our newest report. It's on our
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: tool of the week. If you go to courageisahabit.org, we
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: prove that the ASCA national model is being used in
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: all 50 states. We went to literally all 50 states
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: and pulled it and showed it to you. And then
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: we have a massive report, groundbreaking report that we did
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: in 2025 that proved that ASCA is nothing more than
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: what I said. We went to their annual conferences, webinars, seminars.
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: We've got their PowerPoint decks. We've got their videos. We've
• 39:49
  Speaker 14: got their ethics statements. And so we've laid it out
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: all for Americans so that you know what mental health
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: means in K through 12.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Alvin, I think I'm older than you, but when I
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: was in high school, the guidance counselor, which is the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: term that we used to have, you would go to
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: their office and they would hand you pamphlets. And you
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: could like, this is how you learned about schools. This
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: is how you learned about scholarship opportunities. This is how
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: you learned about service. Like that's what the guidance counselor did.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: They offered guidance.
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And I think you couldn't come up with a better
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: example to say we went from guidance counselors that helped
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: you get into college to now social change agents under
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Michelle Obama and the Obama administration. And it is now
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: in every state. I hope you guys are listening at home.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: You heard what Alvin Lewis said. It's in every state,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: no matter if you live in a conservative state where
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: they have banned critical race theory. This is something that's
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: in your child's school today. So please pay attention to
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: find out more. You can go to courageisthehabit.org. Our president,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Alvin Louie, joins us tonight. Alvin, thank you so much.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: It's incredibly important. Thank you for your work, and I
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: hope that the message continues to spread.
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, the midterms are right around
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: the corner, and washed-up celebrities are coming out of the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: woodwork to endorse Democrats.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Surprise, surprise.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: But is anyone actually listening to them? We're going to
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: talk all about it when we come back.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: OAN Live. OAN Live is the best way to stay
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: up to date on the hardest hitting news and our
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: talk shows. And the best part is OAN Live is
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: only $ 4. 99 per month. Credible, honest, and unbiased reporting at.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: A fraction of the cost of cable.

  Speaker 8: So just click on the link at the top of
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: our homepage, OANN.com, to easily sign up for the news
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: So the elections are in 12 days, and my question
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: for you is, do you know who you're voting for? Well,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: how could you if you haven't consulted with your friendly
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: neighborhood celebrity? After all, that's where we get our cues
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: from who we should vote for, right? Increasingly, less so. Now,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: everyone knows expressions have— elections have consequences because they're only 12
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: days away. And this is going to be a defining
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: moment in our nation's history. And, obviously, the Democrats are
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: turning up the pressure. Celebrities are joining Democrats to push
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the propaganda to try to influence who you, or at
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: least the people they think still follow them, vote for.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Just a few weeks ago, Robert De Niro went to
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: a special reception in support of two, if you can
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: believe it, radical Democrats.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no Republicans for Bobby De Niro.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: He's showing up for Sherrod Brown in Ohio and James
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Tallarico in Texas.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: They charged hundreds.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Of dollars, which I think is basically what it costs
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: to go to a movie these days anyway, to go.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And it was held in New York City.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: What an embarrassment.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, Tallarico was the same guy who said
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: his campaign was vegan on to then show around and
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: show up with one of those like tomahawk steak rib
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: type things to tell us how much he loves barbecue. Somehow,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: he fooled, though, plenty of people, including native Texan Willie Nelson,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: who also endorsed him.
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: Look at Willie.
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: Hi, this is Willie Nelson. I've gotten to know James Tallarico.
• 43:08
  Speaker 15: He's a good man who will be a good senator
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for
• 43:13
  Speaker 15: James Tallarico. Click the link in James' bio to join
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: the team.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: That's kind of just sad, right? But here is something interesting.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Not every celebrity is throwing their weight behind socialists like
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: James Tallarico. Matthew McConaughey, for example, suggests that we should
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: take a different look at things.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: He thinks we should talk independence. Take a look.
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: So they've been telling us for years that an independent
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: vote is a wasted vote. Well, a great question for
• 43:41
  Speaker 16: our times is, how's that unwasted vote been working out
• 43:47
  Speaker 16: for you?
• 43:47
  Speaker 17: You do have more than two choices.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm not telling you who to vote for.
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: I'm telling you to look at your ballot, study up,
• 43:56
  Speaker 17: see if they represent you, what you believe in. Check
• 44:00
  Speaker 17: if they can be that voice of reason in the
• 44:02
  Speaker 17: middle for you. And if they can, treat them like
• 44:05
  Speaker 17: a potential winner because.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: They can be.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: As it turns out, the old guard is actually very
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: upset with him for encouraging people to support independent candidates.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Case in point, this young lady here to the left,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: She scolded his video in an interview this week.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: She said it was unfortunate and said that his position
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: will undermine Democrats in the midterms. That's kind of the point, Hillary.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: You know, of course, Democrats are trying to regain control
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: in Washington. So they've been telling us for a long
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: time that they're working for us. But actually, an increasing
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: number of celebrities have zero influence on mainstream Americans. Here
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: to talk about it is our next guest. He's the
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: entertainment editor at Breitbart, Jerome Hudson. Jerome's been chronicling the
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: failed efforts of celebrities for years. Jerome, we see him
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: on TV. We see him on the movie theater screens.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: And increasingly, we're not taking their advice when it comes
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: to who we vote for at the ballot box.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Why do you think that is?
• 45:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: You give her her due.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: No, Eric, you're absolutely right.
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: We've come a very, very long way from October 2018,
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: when the biggest pop star on the planet, Taylor Swift,
• 45:22
  Speaker 11: smeared Marsha Blackburn in that Senate race in Tennessee and
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: backed a backbencher in Congressman Phil.
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: Bredesen, who even knows who where he is right now.
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: The rest is history, right?
• 45:34
  Speaker 11: You fast-forward to six years later, in 2024, that same
• 45:38
  Speaker 11: pop star, who her light was even brighter, right, six
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: years later, basically kind of endorsed Kamala Harris, but essentially
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: told voters to, quote, unquote, do your own research. It's
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: very interesting, because In that 2024 presidential election, Eric, we
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: started to really get some data to suggest, more than suggest, actually,
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: that people are checking out on the candidates that celebrities back.
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: A Harvard study, they basically asked thousands of likely voters,
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: Harvard did, just a couple weeks before the presidential election
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: in 2024, and a whopping 75 percent said, no, celebrity
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: endorsements don't really have an effect.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: On my vote.
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: Two weeks after the presidential election in 2024, Rasmussen basically
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: asked 1,200 likely voters. And Rasmussen broke it down by
• 46:34
  Speaker 11: party affiliation. To really no one's surprise, Republicans couldn't care
• 46:41
  Speaker 11: less about celebrity endorsements. But Democrats had a nice chunk
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: of basically a plurality as well. And so Texas turning
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: blue seems to be where all the energy is. We've
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: seen this for 15 years, since Wendy Davis put on
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: those pink shoes. A few years later, you had Beyonce
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: backing Beto O'Rourke in Texas. And now, as you mentioned,
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: the Raging Bull himself, just one of a few, Barbra
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: Streisand's holding. She's partnered with the DCC, the Democratic Congressional
• 47:14
  Speaker 11: Campaign Committee, sending emails, Eric, Barbra Streisand, e-mails asking for
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: voters to support James Telerico in Texas. There's been a
• 47:24
  Speaker 11: lot of Hollywood fundraisers you have had. You mentioned James
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: Telerico getting the hand up from Robert De Niro. But
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: Telerico and John Ossoff, the senator running for reelection in Georgia,
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: they have been going to Hollywood at least on two
• 47:40
  Speaker 11: occasions to the home of Miramax executives. and the Lost co-creator,
• 47:46
  Speaker 11: Damon Lindelof, raising a bunch of money. Of course, their opponents,
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: Collins and Georgia specifically, just calling out these Democrats, saying
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: that they're beholden to Hollywood.
• 48:01
  Speaker 10: We have the data.
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: We don't really know how the midterm election will go,
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: but I study this stuff morning, noon, and night. And
• 48:08
  Speaker 11: I can tell you without a doubt, the celebrities, they're
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: not taking to their social media platforms. They're not joining
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: these candidates on stage, certainly in the way that we've
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: seen them in the past half to decade.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: It's too bad, too, because my favorite part of election
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: season is seeing these celebrities be so self-deluded that they
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: think that they're actually helping. You said that they're offering
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: James Tallarico a hand up. I think it's actually a
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: handout because they're just getting the money from him. That's
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: what Robert De Niro is doing. If there's anybody less
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: popular in Texas than James Tallarico, I actually think It's
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: probably Barbra Streisand. So I wish that she would have
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: more public appearances. Like I remember Megan Thee Stallion's on
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: stage dancing with her midriff with Kamala Harris and thinking like, yeah,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: that's how to appeal to, you know, red state voters, Kamala.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: It's so insane. But I think to your point, if
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: we're seeing a decline in it, it's like, have they
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: gotten the memo?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: And is it just is it that study you cited?
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Or is it the fact that the box office numbers
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: continue to plummet? We just don't seem to be as
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: engaged or enamored with celebrity.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Culture as we used to be.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: You think that's why they're kind of largely, yeah, they'll
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: go to fundraisers, they'll give these guys some money. But
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: other than that, they're mostly staying home.
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: You're telling me you're missing the Hillary Clinton, Katy Perry
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: mashup fight song this time around?
• 49:34
  Speaker 10: No, there's a lot to it.
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: And basically, it kind of comes down to the Democrat
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: left being splintered, maybe in a way that it hasn't
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: been since the Vietnam era, Eric.
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: I mean, these celebrities.
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: Have bifurcated themselves into a lot of different silos, and
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: they're basically competing political factions. And so you have a
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: celebrity class who they're setting litmus tests for the Democrats
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: that they endorse. A lot of these celebrities hate Israel
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: and are very pro-Hamas and Palestine. And so you've got
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: that siloed contingent. You've got another contingent of celebrities, usually younger,
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: more online, who are very pro-LGBTQ.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Pregnant man emoji, right?
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: And so that is a loser for a lot of
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: these Democrats, especially the ones running in these sort of
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: Trump-1 congressional districts, where the race is tighter and the
• 50:32
  Speaker 11: margins are smaller. I mean, this is the midterms, right?
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: And so it's not as energetic and robust as you
• 50:43
  Speaker 11: would see the celebrity class come out in a presidential election. But, again,
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: the biggest pop star on the planet just in the
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: 2018 election endorsing.
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: In Tennessee.
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: I mean, we usually see bigger stuff than that.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Ironically, LGBTQ pregnant man emoji is the name of Barbra
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Streisand's next film, which is going to be coming out
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: in Miramax later this fall. It's unclear if she'll have
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Senator James Tallarico at the premiere or not. My guess
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: is not. And if we do see a change in
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: political leadership this fall, I do not believe it will
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: be because of Barbra Streisand or Robert De Niro. but
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: other factors, including just like larger political trends. But that
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean the celebrities like Barbra Streisand, like Babs, won't
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: take some credit for it. A man who always takes
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: credit for things he shouldn't, Jerome Hudson with Breitbart.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Jerome, you look great. Thanks for joining us tonight.
• 51:33
