1:21
Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy yourselves. We are five days away
1:25
Speaker 1: at the time of this recording. From the midterm elections.
1:30
Speaker 1: And I'll be the first to admit. It has been.
1:35
Speaker 2: Somewhat.
1:37
Speaker 1: Difficult to understand. All of the pumping circumstance. Around the
1:43
Speaker 1: midterm elections. You have so many people. That are thoroughly convinced.
1:50
Speaker 1: That their lives are just going to get monumentally better.
1:54
Speaker 1: If they go out and vote. And if the party
1:57
Speaker 1: that they back. comes out victorious. Over 30 million people
2:04
Speaker 1: have already early voted. Those are people who've decided, you
2:08
Speaker 1: know what, this election is too important for me to wait.
2:14
Speaker 2: Until November 3rd.
2:16
Speaker 1: It's almost like a child who's expecting a big gift
2:19
Speaker 1: for Christmas who can't wait for December 25th. So what
2:23
Speaker 1: the parents decide to do is allow the child to
2:26
Speaker 1: open up one gift early to give him the extra
2:33
Speaker 1: motivation that's needed to prepare for the gift that he's
2:38
Speaker 1: actually waiting for. That's what this midterm cycle feels like.
2:43
Speaker 1: Those people have gotten out early, they voted, and they
2:47
Speaker 1: have this extra sense of anticipation that because they voted
2:51
Speaker 1: early is going to make the difference. What we're going
2:56
Speaker 1: to uncover in this episode today is that there is
3:00
Speaker 1: a very massive group of people within this country that
3:06
Speaker 1: are going to decide how the midterms play out.
3:11
Speaker 2: We'll get to that momentarily.
3:13
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk about Ilhan Omar and how
3:18
Speaker 1: the Republicans are just salivating over the prospects of her
3:22
Speaker 1: being deported after they initiated a raid on her.
3:26
Speaker 2: Washington, D.C.
3:27
Speaker 1: Home. We're going to talk about the Democrats and why
3:30
Speaker 1: they really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really.
3:34
Speaker 2: Want to win the midterms.
3:36
Speaker 1: They don't want to win the midterms to help bring
3:39
Speaker 1: down costs. They don't want to win the midterms to
3:42
Speaker 1: help bring Trump's, you know, never ending, it seems, war
3:47
Speaker 1: with Iran to an end. They don't want to get
3:51
Speaker 1: back into power to make sure that you have universal
3:54
Speaker 1: health care.
3:54
Speaker 2: At least it's not a priority.
3:56
Speaker 1: I'll explain to you guys in this episode what is
3:58
Speaker 1: their biggest priority. It's something that I touched on in
4:02
Speaker 1: the previous episode, but it's something that I want to
4:04
Speaker 1: go back and cover once again in this episode. And
4:08
Speaker 1: to wrap it all up today, I'm going to talk
4:11
Speaker 1: to you guys about why there is already this feeling
4:15
Speaker 1: of fatigue surrounding the 2028 presidential election. So if all
4:20
Speaker 1: of this sounds like something you love to be a
4:21
Speaker 1: part of, once again, just sit back and enjoy yourself
4:25
Speaker 1: as we prepare to dive in. As I like to
4:28
Speaker 1: mention at the beginning of each and every episode, I'm
4:31
Speaker 1: not a Democrat nor a Republican.
4:33
Speaker 2: I am politically homeless.
4:34
Speaker 1: At this point because I feel that both political parties
4:38
Speaker 1: have done a great deal that's put us in the
4:41
Speaker 1: position where we find ourselves today. Trillions upon trillion dollars
4:45
Speaker 1: in debt, in wars, that we should not be in,
4:51
Speaker 1: that we should have never been in for those that
4:53
Speaker 1: have already ended. Rampant corruption just going around like it's
4:58
Speaker 1: going out of style. I love it how Republicans are
5:02
Speaker 1: the ones that are trying to position themselves as the
5:05
Speaker 1: champions of ending the perpetual fraud that's taking place in
5:09
Speaker 1: this country. Republicans commit fraud. Democrats commit fraud. They both
5:14
Speaker 1: commit fraud. But they try to act like they're the
5:17
Speaker 1: savior that's going to Restore trust in government, in democracy.
5:23
Speaker 1: They're the ones that's going to root out rampant corruption.
5:26
Speaker 1: But as soon as they get power, they're the ones
5:31
Speaker 1: committing the corruption, the fraud. So I'm someone that doesn't
5:37
Speaker 1: identify with either political party.
5:41
Speaker 2: I am someone that has grown so tired.
5:44
Speaker 1: Of this political system in our country that I've decided,
5:48
Speaker 1: you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to
5:50
Speaker 1: sit back and I'm going to watch how these midterms
5:53
Speaker 1: play out. I know what somebody out there may be saying.
5:57
Speaker 1: Did this guy just suggest that he's not going to
6:01
Speaker 1: vote in the midterms? Not only did I just suggest that,
6:05
Speaker 1: but I have every intention of following through on that plan.
6:10
Speaker 1: Because the one thing that I've started to realize as
6:13
Speaker 1: I've gotten older is that it doesn't matter If you vote,
6:18
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, you understand that
6:21
Speaker 1: your life is not getting any better. You can go
6:25
Speaker 1: out there and pin on your shirt as many. I
6:30
Speaker 1: voted stickers as you want. But just ask yourself the question,
6:34
Speaker 1: has your life gotten any better? whether it be with
6:39
Speaker 1: a Democrat president in the White House or a Republican president,
6:42
Speaker 1: whether it be with a Democratic-controlled Congress or a Republican-controlled Congress,
6:47
Speaker 1: whether it be with a Supreme Court that lean more
6:49
Speaker 1: towards the liberal side or with a Supreme Court that
6:52
Speaker 1: leans more towards the conservative side, you have to ask yourself,
6:57
Speaker 1: is what we're doing really making a difference? Or should
7:01
Speaker 1: we just blow this whole thing up and start fresh?
7:05
Speaker 1: It's not voting that we need to do to change
7:08
Speaker 1: the fortunes of our circumstances that we're in. We need
7:11
Speaker 1: a complete revolution to stem the tide of where we've been.
7:18
Speaker 2: Because these politicians understand.
7:21
Speaker 1: That, hey, as long as they keep voting and as
7:23
Speaker 1: long as there keeps being this revolving door in government,
7:26
Speaker 1: we can continue to screw these people over. And the
7:29
Speaker 1: only thing they're going to do is just vote out
7:30
Speaker 1: the quote unquote bad actors and elect more quote unquote
7:35
Speaker 1: bad actors. That's all politics is. All of these people
7:39
Speaker 1: that are running for office trying to convince you that
7:41
Speaker 1: they're on the outside, that they're going to go in
7:44
Speaker 1: there and. and promise that they're not going to be bought,
7:47
Speaker 1: that they're going to stand up to corporations and to
7:49
Speaker 1: these lobbyists and to these PACs, they're lying to you.
7:53
Speaker 1: Because the very minute that they find themselves engulfed in
7:56
Speaker 1: that swamp, they're going to become the very people that
7:59
Speaker 1: they claimed they were going to D.C. to fight against
8:02
Speaker 1: and to root out. I find it funny that you
8:07
Speaker 1: have so many people that get bought into this narrative that, hey,
8:11
Speaker 1: the guy or the woman that I'm electing They're promising
8:14
Speaker 1: to go in there and do a number on corruption.
8:18
Speaker 1: They're promising to go in there and focus on me.
8:20
Speaker 1: But you got to ask yourself when it's all said
8:22
Speaker 1: and done, do they actually focus on you? Or do
8:25
Speaker 1: they just come out and tell you things to make
8:27
Speaker 1: you feel good so that way you can vote for them?
8:29
Speaker 1: And then once you give them their vote, they forget
8:34
Speaker 1: about you. They act as if you never existed. So
8:38
Speaker 1: that's the reason why, or those are some of the
8:41
Speaker 1: reasons I should say, Why I am politically homeless. Because
8:46
Speaker 1: voting has proven. That is never going to change anything.
8:51
Speaker 1: Nothing's ever going to get better. Especially as we as
8:56
Speaker 1: a country continue to drive up our debt, as we
8:59
Speaker 1: continue to alienate more of our allies. And as long
9:03
Speaker 1: as we continue to have this divisiveness politically, that could
9:06
Speaker 1: drive us off the edge of a cliff.
9:09
Speaker 2: There has never been a more.
9:11
Speaker 1: Politically polarizing point than where we find ourselves currently. Because
9:16
Speaker 1: you have so many people that are more bought into
9:20
Speaker 1: their political party than they are with talking to someone
9:23
Speaker 1: across the aisle trying to understand why they.
9:26
Speaker 2: Support the party that they support.
9:29
Speaker 1: And the bigwigs, they sit up there in their gated
9:33
Speaker 1: mansions and they laugh at everyday Americans fighting amongst themselves
9:38
Speaker 1: Because they got a different campaign sign in their yard.
9:43
Speaker 1: You decided to vote for Kamala. I decided to vote
9:45
Speaker 1: for Trump. So I'm going to hate you. I'm going
9:48
Speaker 1: to do everything in my power to make your life
9:51
Speaker 1: as miserable as it can be. Because you feel differently
9:56
Speaker 1: politically than I do. How childish is that? And those people,
10:02
Speaker 1: they sit there and they laugh. They get a good
10:05
Speaker 1: old laugh out of everyday hard working tax paying Americans
10:09
Speaker 1: being suckers. For these parties that don't give a damn
10:13
Speaker 1: about them. You feel good about yourself, you donate $ 5
10:17
Speaker 1: or $ 10 or $ 25 or $ 50 or $ 100 to your
10:20
Speaker 1: favorite political party thinking it is going to make a difference.
10:24
Speaker 1: Those small dollar donations don't make the biggest difference. The
10:28
Speaker 1: biggest difference that's made is with those donations that have
10:33
Speaker 1: a few more zeros behind them than yours. Those donations
10:37
Speaker 1: that have four, five, six zeros behind them. Those are
10:43
Speaker 1: the donations that really count. Because those are the ones
10:46
Speaker 1: that feel that they give to their political party of
10:49
Speaker 1: choice that they can get some things done. That's the
10:52
Speaker 1: reason why you see Donald Trump kowtowing to the tech industry.
10:58
Speaker 1: Because he realizes that it's the tech bros that have
11:02
Speaker 1: put up huge sums of money to get their agenda
11:06
Speaker 1: pushed through the Trump White House. Why do you think
11:10
Speaker 1: Donald Trump continues to speak out in support of these
11:14
Speaker 1: AI data centers. Because he understands that some of them
11:20
Speaker 1: are willing to give him as much money as he
11:22
Speaker 1: possibly needs. Whether it be to help Republicans nationwide during
11:26
Speaker 1: the midterms or whether they decide to donate because they
11:29
Speaker 1: want to see the ballroom get built. These politicians have
11:33
Speaker 1: price tags. It's like when you go into your favorite
11:36
Speaker 1: department store. What's the one thing that you notice that
11:39
Speaker 1: every item has on it?
11:42
Speaker 2: A price tag.
11:44
Speaker 1: And that price tag lists the price of how much
11:47
Speaker 1: that item costs. Every politician has a price tag. They're
11:54
Speaker 1: letting you know how much they can be bought for.
11:57
Speaker 1: And sometimes just like when you're riding through the country
12:00
Speaker 1: and you see someone selling a used car, they'll put
12:02
Speaker 1: a price on the price sticker. Or.
12:09
Speaker 2: They'll put sometimes. What they want.
12:13
Speaker 1: And then at the bottom of it, or best offer.
12:17
Speaker 1: Some politicians are like that. They have a price tag
12:20
Speaker 1: and some of them have the price tag and or
12:23
Speaker 1: best offer. Because if you're willing to give me a
12:26
Speaker 1: check that's big enough to go against the constituents who
12:29
Speaker 1: put me here.
12:30
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
12:33
Speaker 1: So I've just sat back these past couple months leading
12:36
Speaker 1: up to where we're at now, just really confused as
12:40
Speaker 1: to why so many people feel that these midterms are
12:44
Speaker 1: just automatically going to make life better. We were told
12:48
Speaker 1: the same lie two years ago. We were told the
12:52
Speaker 1: same lie six years ago. We were told the same
12:55
Speaker 1: lie 10 years ago, that these elections are the most
12:59
Speaker 1: important elections in our lifetime. We were told that in
13:03
Speaker 1: 16 when Trump ran against Hillary Clinton. We were told
13:05
Speaker 1: that in the 2018 midterms. We were told that in
13:08
Speaker 1: 2020 when Trump ran against Biden. We were told that
13:10
Speaker 1: in 2022. We were told it in 2024 when Trump.
13:13
Speaker 2: Ran against Kamala.
13:14
Speaker 1: And we're now being told that again, that these midterm
13:17
Speaker 1: elections are the most important in the history of our
13:22
Speaker 1: country because it's going to decide whether or not we
13:24
Speaker 1: stay a country that's free or whether we turn to
13:27
Speaker 1: a country that's going to embrace socialism. And notice how
13:30
Speaker 1: both parties are trying to make it seem like the
13:33
Speaker 1: other one is going to drive us off the cliff.
13:36
Speaker 1: So what they're pretty much telling you without telling you
13:39
Speaker 1: is that both of them are somewhat responsible for the
13:43
Speaker 1: inevitable cliff that we're about to fall off of. And
13:47
Speaker 1: yet you still have people out here identifying with one
13:50
Speaker 1: or the other. There are people waking up every day. saying,
13:57
Speaker 1: you know what, I can no longer sit by and
14:02
Speaker 1: subject myself to the foolery that is identifying with either
14:07
Speaker 1: one of these parties. Because if it came down to
14:10
Speaker 1: it at the end of the day, if it came
14:12
Speaker 1: down to them helping and saving us or helping and
14:15
Speaker 1: saving themselves, they'll choose themselves.
14:18
Speaker 2: And they'll leave all of us out to dry.
14:24
Speaker 1: So if you feel the way that I feel, then
14:29
Speaker 1: you're in the right place. If you're someone with all
14:34
Speaker 1: due respect that still believes that these politicians care about you,
14:39
Speaker 1: I'm just going to honestly say that this show may
14:41
Speaker 1: not be for you. Now, you're welcome to stay and
14:46
Speaker 1: listen to the points that I'm going to add to
14:48
Speaker 1: the argument over the course of this episode. But if
14:52
Speaker 1: you're someone who's closed off from the belief that these
14:57
Speaker 1: politicians don't care about us, then I don't think listening
15:01
Speaker 1: to this show would be worth your while. Because there
15:05
Speaker 1: are just too many signs out there in the world
15:10
Speaker 1: that points to why myself and a growing number of
15:16
Speaker 1: others feel the way that we feel. We know that
15:21
Speaker 1: politicians aren't as heroic as they proclaim themselves to be.
15:26
Speaker 1: Because if they were, the situations that we're in would
15:30
Speaker 1: not be existent. So I hope that I've made myself
15:37
Speaker 1: perfectly clear about what this show is, why I'm politically homeless,
15:44
Speaker 1: and hopefully you've made a decision in your mind as
15:48
Speaker 1: to whether or not you're going to stick around or
15:51
Speaker 1: whether you're going to exit. We appreciate you sticking around
15:54
Speaker 1: for as long as you did. If you are choosing
15:56
Speaker 1: to exit, we understand that this conversation is not for everybody,
16:02
Speaker 1: and we wish you all the best. And if you
16:03
Speaker 1: ever decide that this is the place where you need
16:08
Speaker 1: to be, we'll welcome you with open arms. The title
16:13
Speaker 1: of this episode today is The Two-Minute Drill. Why is
16:18
Speaker 1: this episode titled The Two-Minute Drill, someone may be asking?
16:23
Speaker 1: For those of you out there that are sports fans,
16:26
Speaker 1: you can skip ahead because I'm pretty sure you're familiar
16:30
Speaker 1: with what the two-minute drill is. For those of you
16:33
Speaker 1: that are not football fans, not sports fans, let me
16:38
Speaker 1: give you guys the reason as to why this episode
16:41
Speaker 1: is indeed entitled the two-minute drill. So there's this thing
16:47
Speaker 1: in football. in the final two minutes of the second quarter,
16:52
Speaker 1: as well as the fourth quarter called the two-minute drill.
16:55
Speaker 1: And that's usually when a team has this extra sense
17:00
Speaker 1: of urgency to do whatever it is that they need
17:03
Speaker 1: to get done to either score a touchdown or a
17:06
Speaker 1: field goal. Now let's think about it in terms of
17:11
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Let's just say that two teams in
17:14
Speaker 1: a football game are tied 17-17. Or better yet, let's
17:20
Speaker 1: do it this way. Let's say that.
17:23
Speaker 2: I'll use college football for an example.
17:25
Speaker 1: Let's say that Alabama is playing Georgia. Alabama's leading the
17:30
Speaker 1: game 20-17. Georgia has the football and they're driving the field.
17:37
Speaker 1: The clock's ticking down and it gets to the two-minute mark,
17:41
Speaker 1: which in football, as we all know, for those of
17:43
Speaker 1: us that are sports fans, is called.
17:44
Speaker 2: The two-minute warning, which is essentially....
17:50
Speaker 1: An extra timeout. So both teams take the timeout, come
17:53
Speaker 1: out of the timeout. Georgia has two minutes to either
17:57
Speaker 1: kick a field goal to tie the game or to
18:00
Speaker 1: score a touchdown and take the lead and possibly win
18:03
Speaker 1: the game. So they bring out all the stops to
18:07
Speaker 1: do everything in their power to get to that point
18:11
Speaker 1: where they've either tied the game or they've taken the lead.
18:14
Speaker 2: So they bring out their best formations. They run their
18:19
Speaker 2: best plays.
18:21
Speaker 1: And they get into the end zone, and they take
18:23
Speaker 1: a 24-20 lead. They've done that in under two minutes,
18:29
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes of the game. They hold
18:31
Speaker 1: on to win. They get another win under their belt.
18:35
Speaker 1: Alabama takes the loss. How does that relate to where
18:40
Speaker 1: we're at politically? We're in the proverbial two-minute warning part
18:49
Speaker 1: of the midterm elections. Both parties understand that they need
18:54
Speaker 1: to do everything in their power to make sure that
18:57
Speaker 1: their respective bases understand why it is indeed important to
19:04
Speaker 1: get out and either early vote or vote on November 3rd.
19:09
Speaker 1: They're bringing out all the big guns to make sure
19:12
Speaker 1: that that message is getting across. If you're the Democrats,
19:17
Speaker 1: you're trotting out former president's Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
19:22
Speaker 1: You're trotting out Vice President Kamala Harris. You're getting some
19:25
Speaker 1: of your prominent governors that are Democrats out there in
19:28
Speaker 1: the field of campaign. And you're getting anybody who's anybody
19:32
Speaker 1: of any name, notoriety in the Democratic Party out there
19:35
Speaker 1: on the trail to campaign for Democratic candidates throughout the country.
19:40
Speaker 1: And of course, on the Republican side, you're getting Donald
19:44
Speaker 1: Trump out there and you're getting Vice President J.D.
19:47
Speaker 2: Vance out there to stump. For Republicans.
19:51
Speaker 1: So both parties feel that they're doing what needs to
19:55
Speaker 1: be done to make sure that their base is riled
19:59
Speaker 1: up to get out there and cast their votes. The
20:04
Speaker 1: one thing that I don't understand about either party and
20:07
Speaker 1: why they are doing what they're doing.
20:11
Speaker 2: If you're a Democratic voter, why do.
20:15
Speaker 1: You need for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Kamala Harris
20:21
Speaker 1: to come to your town to get you riled up
20:25
Speaker 1: to go vote Democrat? If you're a Republican, why do
20:29
Speaker 1: you need Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, John Thune, Mike Johnson,
20:35
Speaker 1: why do you need any of them to come to
20:38
Speaker 1: your town to get you riled up?
20:40
Speaker 2: About going to go vote.
20:43
Speaker 1: If you are as passionate about seeing your party either
20:48
Speaker 1: retain power if you're a Republican or to get power
20:52
Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat, there should not need to be
20:55
Speaker 1: any other extra incentive to get you off the couch,
21:00
Speaker 1: out of your cubicle, or off your job to either
21:04
Speaker 1: early vote or to go vote in person on November 3rd.
21:10
Speaker 1: Democrats have been beating people over the head for the
21:14
Speaker 1: past couple years about Donald Trump being this existential threat
21:20
Speaker 1: to democracy. Meanwhile, Republicans have been beating people over the
21:26
Speaker 1: head these past couple years talking about how the Democrats
21:29
Speaker 1: are going to do everything in their power to bring
21:31
Speaker 1: this country to its knees. Doesn't it already feel like
21:35
Speaker 1: this country is on its knees begging for one more
21:38
Speaker 1: opportunity to begging to please not be destroyed.
21:44
Speaker 2: By higher power. That's what this feels like.
21:48
Speaker 1: And yet both parties want you to believe that if
21:51
Speaker 1: they got control of the government, that they'd do a
21:55
Speaker 1: better job than the other side. So if you think
22:01
Speaker 1: about it, take Mississippi for an example. I spoke about
22:06
Speaker 1: this in the previous episode. There is a hotly contested
22:10
Speaker 1: Senate race going on in this state between the Democratic candidate,
22:15
Speaker 1: Scott Colon, and the Republican candidate who is the incumbent senator,
22:21
Speaker 1: Cindy Hyde-Smith, and there's also an independent in the race,
22:23
Speaker 1: Ty Pinkins. You got all the big Democrats trying to
22:31
Speaker 1: pile in the Mississippi to make sure that the message
22:34
Speaker 1: about Scott Colon gets across. You got all the big
22:37
Speaker 1: Republicans coming down to Mississippi trying to make sure that
22:40
Speaker 1: the message by Cindy Hyde-Smith gets across. This at one
22:45
Speaker 1: point in time was looked at as a solid Republican race.
22:50
Speaker 1: That Cindy Hyde-Smith, no matter who decided to run against her,
22:54
Speaker 1: could not lose. Now, as we sit five days away
22:59
Speaker 1: from the midterms, Cindy Hyde-Smith being reelected doesn't seem as
23:05
Speaker 1: much of a surety as it did a couple months ago. Now,
23:10
Speaker 1: I still think Cindy Highsmith's going to win that race.
23:12
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. Because Mississippi has shown that, yeah,
23:16
Speaker 1: we may be mad at Cindy, but we're still going
23:19
Speaker 1: to get out and vote for those in the state
23:22
Speaker 1: that are Republicans. But what this race has shown is
23:27
Speaker 1: that over the next six years, if she were to
23:29
Speaker 1: win re-election, that if she doesn't start to pick up
23:33
Speaker 1: the pace, And deliver for Mississippians the way that she
23:38
Speaker 1: needs to. When she runs again in 2032. If she
23:43
Speaker 1: chooses to run again in 2032. That may be a
23:48
Speaker 1: race that she's not going to win. Because if you
23:52
Speaker 1: think about it. In 2032. There will be no Donald Trump.
23:58
Speaker 1: At least as far as being president is concerned. And.
24:04
Speaker 1: how do we know what type of political power Donald
24:09
Speaker 1: Trump is going to yield in his post-presidency years? Because
24:15
Speaker 1: you have people that are already asking the question, if
24:17
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wielded all this political power, then why are
24:22
Speaker 1: the candidates that he's backing finding themselves constantly needing him
24:27
Speaker 1: to come to their state to stump for him?
24:29
Speaker 2: We'll get to that momentarily.
24:33
Speaker 1: But if you're Cindy High Smith, There's going to come
24:35
Speaker 1: a point in time where you're going to have to
24:37
Speaker 1: stand on your own two feet. And you're going to
24:39
Speaker 1: have to go out there and you're going to have
24:42
Speaker 1: to be your own person. And the same could be
24:45
Speaker 1: said for every single Republican that's counting on Donald Trump's support.
24:50
Speaker 1: At some point or another, you're going to have to
24:52
Speaker 1: go out there and be your own person. And some
24:56
Speaker 1: of them, you see, they can't do that. Because it's
25:00
Speaker 1: hard for them to, because some of them, they just lack.
25:04
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has. Love or hate Donald Trump. But
25:07
Speaker 1: the one thing you can't deny is that whenever he's somewhere,
25:12
Speaker 1: it's always this feeling of excitement. Whether you agree with
25:18
Speaker 1: what he says or whether you don't. There's always this
25:22
Speaker 1: sense of, what is he.
25:24
Speaker 2: Going to say?
25:26
Speaker 1: What is he going to say about such and such?
25:28
Speaker 1: What is he going to do to a person in
25:30
Speaker 1: the crowd who's protesting him? So on and so forth.
25:35
Speaker 1: So when you think about where we're at five days out,
25:41
Speaker 1: both parties understand that they need to do everything in
25:45
Speaker 1: their power to shore up their base, to make sure
25:48
Speaker 1: that their base gets out to vote. You can't sit
25:54
Speaker 1: this one out. That's the messaging coming from both sides.
25:58
Speaker 1: You can't sit this out because if you do, you
26:01
Speaker 1: will be electing the other party. If you're a Democrat
26:04
Speaker 1: and you sit out, you'll be electing the Republicans. If
26:07
Speaker 1: you're a Republican and you sit out, you'll be electing
26:09
Speaker 1: the Democrats. But what they're failing to understand is that
26:16
Speaker 1: you have some people who are looking at it saying
26:18
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who we elect because it's going to
26:20
Speaker 1: be the same thing. There is not much that separates
26:27
Speaker 1: these parties. Both of them are willing to do whatever
26:32
Speaker 1: needs to be done to win power. And once they
26:34
Speaker 1: get it, they forget why they got it. If you
26:37
Speaker 1: think about the Republicans right now who currently holds the
26:40
Speaker 1: majorities in both chambers of Congress, they have the majority
26:43
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court and a Republican president sits in
26:46
Speaker 1: the White House.
26:49
Speaker 2: How many of their promises have they kept? Think about
26:53
Speaker 2: Donald Trump campaign on no new wars. We're in wars.
26:58
Speaker 1: Donald Trump campaigned on bringing down costs. They're still high.
27:03
Speaker 1: Donald Trump campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. Have they
27:07
Speaker 1: really been released?
27:10
Speaker 2: Donald Trump campaigned on.
27:13
Speaker 1: Bringing in the largest mass deportation operation in United States history,
27:18
Speaker 1: and that's yet to be a thing. But somehow or another,
27:25
Speaker 1: him And people that defend him will always find ways
27:28
Speaker 1: to justify why Donald Trump hasn't done the things that
27:32
Speaker 1: he said he was going to do.
27:35
Speaker 2: If you listen to J.D.
27:36
Speaker 1: Vance talk, every time a question is brought up about
27:39
Speaker 1: something that Donald Trump promised he would do and hasn't done, J.D.
27:43
Speaker 2: Vance is always quick to blame whom? Joe Biden.
27:49
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's economy was so disastrous that we're still in
27:52
Speaker 1: there trying to get it fixed. This is bad because
27:56
Speaker 1: of the Democrats. That's bad because of the Democrats. This
27:58
Speaker 1: could be better because of the Democrats. It's not. You
28:00
Speaker 1: see the game that they're playing. And the same could
28:03
Speaker 1: be said for the Democrats. The Democrats are always blaming Trump.
28:09
Speaker 1: You don't like costs right now?
28:10
Speaker 2: Blame Trump. You feel like democracy is under siege? Blame Trump.
28:15
Speaker 1: It's harder for you to take care of your families?
28:17
Speaker 2: Blame Trump. You had a bad day at work? Blame Trump.
28:25
Speaker 2: And yet people seem to forget.
28:29
Speaker 1: That since 2020, if you want to go back that far,
28:33
Speaker 1: because it feels like that's when everything was just upended,
28:38
Speaker 1: when COVID made it to our shores. Since that time,
28:43
Speaker 1: there has been a Republican administration as well as a
28:47
Speaker 1: Democratic administration that's occupied the White House. The Democrats have
28:52
Speaker 1: been in control in Congress. The Republicans have been in control.
28:56
Speaker 1: And yet the constant finger pointing would make you believe
29:01
Speaker 1: that there has only been one party rule for the
29:03
Speaker 1: past six years. Which once again reinforces the point. That
29:09
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, it does feel like there
29:11
Speaker 1: is this unit party that's over the government.
29:15
Speaker 2: But they want you to believe that the other side.
29:17
Speaker 1: Is so bad to where you would have no choice
29:20
Speaker 1: in order to save this country, but to vote for
29:22
Speaker 1: the other side. Donald Trump is constantly talking about, you
29:29
Speaker 1: got to vote like.
29:30
Speaker 2: I'm on the ballot. And in a lot of ways,
29:34
Speaker 2: he's not wrong. Because the successes and the failures of.
29:40
Speaker 1: of his first two years of his second term are
29:43
Speaker 1: literally what people are going to go to the polls
29:46
Speaker 1: and weigh as they stand there deciding on whom they're
29:49
Speaker 1: going to vote for. So, yes, he is right that
29:54
Speaker 1: people do need to vote for him like he's on
29:56
Speaker 1: the ballot. Unfortunately for him, however. If you were to
30:01
Speaker 1: follow the polls and the trends, it doesn't look like
30:05
Speaker 1: people are necessarily enthusiastic about what he's done. So as
30:10
Speaker 1: a result, when he says vote for. Vote in the
30:15
Speaker 1: midterms like he's on the ballot, a lot of people
30:17
Speaker 1: listen to that statement. Sure, we'll do that, but we'll
30:20
Speaker 1: make sure that we give you a strong rebuke. So
30:22
Speaker 1: that way, you know that we're not happy with the
30:25
Speaker 1: first two years of your second term. And speaking of polls.
30:31
Speaker 1: I always find it funny when you talk about polling.
30:37
Speaker 1: It feels like it's this constant game of whack-a-mole. You know, Republicans,
30:41
Speaker 1: they love polls as long as their candidates are leading
30:46
Speaker 1: said polls. But the minute that their candidate is not
30:50
Speaker 1: leading in a particular poll or in particular polls, plural,
30:55
Speaker 1: that's when they have the problem with the polling. Democrats
30:58
Speaker 1: are the same way. Let's take two situations and let's
31:05
Speaker 1: split them down. We'll take one from the Republicans. We'll
31:08
Speaker 1: take one from the Democrats. Let's use the Texas Senate
31:13
Speaker 1: race for an example. Whenever there is a poll that
31:17
Speaker 1: has Ken Paxton leading James Tallarico, you hear Republicans saying, see,
31:23
Speaker 1: this is a strong sign that Texas will never go blue.
31:27
Speaker 1: But the minute that a poll comes out that shows
31:29
Speaker 1: Tallarico leading Paxton, who cares about the polling? Polling doesn't matter.
31:34
Speaker 1: What matters is what people decide when they go vote.
31:37
Speaker 1: You see how that works out? Let's take the Republicans
31:40
Speaker 1: for an example. Or let's use the Democrats for an example.
31:45
Speaker 1: Once again, I'll use... No, I won't use the Senate
31:50
Speaker 1: race here. I'll use the Senate race in South Carolina.
31:55
Speaker 1: As long as a poll shows... Annie Andrews leading Darlene Graham? Oh,
32:01
Speaker 1: the Democrats are happy. See, people in South Carolina, they're
32:04
Speaker 1: tired of the Lindsey Graham rule over South Carolina politics.
32:12
Speaker 1: But the minute that a poll shows that Darlene Graham
32:15
Speaker 1: is leading Annie Andrews, it doesn't matter what the polls say.
32:21
Speaker 2: As long as we get out and vote, it won't
32:24
Speaker 2: matter what they say. So you see....
32:28
Speaker 1: The dichotomy that both sides are plagued with. As long
32:33
Speaker 1: as it's good polling, oh, they love the polls. But
32:36
Speaker 1: as long as there is bad polling that exists, they
32:39
Speaker 1: don't care. We don't concern ourselves with polling. But if
32:44
Speaker 1: you notice, every time you turn on Fox News, they
32:49
Speaker 1: got posters on there that are willing to bend to
32:54
Speaker 1: the Republican lean. CNN is the same way. They bring
33:00
Speaker 1: posters on there that are willing to lean the Democratic way.
33:07
Speaker 1: If you watch Fox News, you'll believe that the Republicans
33:10
Speaker 1: are going to win the midterms. If you watch CNN,
33:13
Speaker 1: you'll believe the Democrats are going to win the midterms.
33:17
Speaker 1: These networks claim that they use the same polling. But
33:22
Speaker 1: if that's true, then how do they always find themselves
33:24
Speaker 1: coming to two different conclusions? It's almost like if you
33:30
Speaker 1: and a friend drove down the same street, saw the
33:37
Speaker 1: same cars, but once you guys got to a stop sign,
33:41
Speaker 1: the friend told you that, oh, well, I didn't see
33:44
Speaker 1: the cars you saw.
33:46
Speaker 2: I saw two different cars.
33:48
Speaker 1: How is that true if both cars that both you
33:52
Speaker 1: guys saw were the same colors?
33:56
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
33:59
Speaker 1: They're always looking for the things that make their parties
34:04
Speaker 1: stand out. And I love how Fox News always claims
34:09
Speaker 1: to be fair and balanced.
34:11
Speaker 2: They don't have an agenda.
34:12
Speaker 1: Their agenda is to prop up Republicans, more specifically to
34:17
Speaker 1: prop up President Trump. The Democrats, or CNN rather, always
34:23
Speaker 1: claims that.
34:26
Speaker 2: We're trusted news.
34:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're looking at it from the Democratic perspective.
34:36
Speaker 1: It's sad where we've gotten in this country. Where you
34:41
Speaker 1: can't even trust the news to deliver commentary right down
34:47
Speaker 1: the middle. Even the evening news shows that at one
34:50
Speaker 1: point in time you could watch and depend on. They
34:55
Speaker 1: show leanings. NBC Nightly News with Tom Namas. ABC World
35:03
Speaker 1: News Tonight with David Muir. The CBS Evening News with
35:07
Speaker 1: Tony DiCoppo. Special Report with Bret Baier.
35:14
Speaker 2: All of them have leanings. They try to act like
35:18
Speaker 2: they don't, but they do.
35:25
Speaker 1: So when you think about where we're at five days out,
35:30
Speaker 1: The core question that you have to ask yourself. Are
35:35
Speaker 1: you making the decision to vote based upon the research
35:39
Speaker 1: that you've done independently?
35:43
Speaker 2: Or are you voting the way somebody told you to?
35:48
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people on either side of the
35:50
Speaker 1: political spectrum will tell you that they're only voting a
35:53
Speaker 1: particular way because somebody told them to. Oh, such and
35:59
Speaker 1: such were in my town campaigning for such and such,
36:01
Speaker 1: and they told me to vote that way, so I'm
36:03
Speaker 1: going to do it. You got people in Mississippi who
36:08
Speaker 1: are going to vote for Scott Colon because Obama told
36:11
Speaker 1: them to. Because Kamala Harris told them to. Because Benny
36:15
Speaker 1: Thompson told them to. Not because they've actually sat down
36:20
Speaker 1: and studied what Scott Colon is promising to do if
36:26
Speaker 1: he's elected to the Senate. Oh, I'm voting for Cindy
36:30
Speaker 1: Hyatt Smith because President Trump told me to. Not really
36:35
Speaker 1: studying what she's already done as a United States senator.
36:43
Speaker 1: I've talked to you guys a time or two on
36:46
Speaker 1: this podcast about the ambition I had at an early
36:50
Speaker 1: age of one day wanting to be president and how
36:53
Speaker 1: as I've started to sit back and really peel the
36:57
Speaker 1: onion back of this political system in this country, I decided,
37:00
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe.
37:01
Speaker 2: This isn't for me.
37:04
Speaker 1: Because when you have morals and you don't want to
37:06
Speaker 1: compromise on those morals, you don't really look at the
37:10
Speaker 1: job of being president as something that would really be
37:13
Speaker 1: right there in lockstep with your moral compass. And a
37:18
Speaker 1: lot of people, it seems like, and I don't want
37:23
Speaker 1: to say this, but I feel like I have to.
37:25
Speaker 2: A lot of people, it seems like.
37:26
Speaker 1: Have sold their souls for a political ideology that at
37:30
Speaker 1: the end of the day doesn't really benefit them one
37:31
Speaker 1: way or the other. Oh, I'm a Democrat because everybody
37:36
Speaker 1: in my family is one. I'm a Republican because everybody
37:40
Speaker 1: in my family was one. So are you really making
37:44
Speaker 1: decisions because of the things that you've seen that you
37:48
Speaker 1: independently researched? Or are you doing things and voting a
37:51
Speaker 1: particular way because somebody told you that if you don't,
37:53
Speaker 1: they'll disown you? Imagine growing up in a black family
38:00
Speaker 1: and being told your whole life, you got to vote Democrat.
38:05
Speaker 1: And the first time that you get an opportunity to
38:08
Speaker 1: step away from that and you vote Republican, oh, they'll
38:10
Speaker 1: act like they never knew you.
38:13
Speaker 2: How can I prove that point?
38:18
Speaker 1: Look how many black conservatives get slandered by black people.
38:24
Speaker 2: For not staying in lockstep. with the Democratic message. Look
38:29
Speaker 2: at how people are excoriating Stephen A.
38:33
Speaker 1: Smith for being a dinner guest of Bill Maher at
38:36
Speaker 1: the White House with Donald Trump and Kid Rock.
38:41
Speaker 2: People are quick to point out Stephen A. Smith's a sellout.
38:44
Speaker 1: There's a reason why I never liked him, but I
38:46
Speaker 1: guarantee you that had it been Kamala Harris that had
38:52
Speaker 1: won that election in 2024, if.
38:55
Speaker 2: Stephen A.
38:56
Speaker 1: Smith went to the White House and sat down for
38:58
Speaker 1: dinner with Kamala Harris, you wouldn't have heard a thing.
39:01
Speaker 2: If Stephen A.
39:01
Speaker 1: Smith had sat down for dinner at the White House
39:03
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden was president, you wouldn't have heard a thing.
39:08
Speaker 1: But because it's Donald Trump, all of a sudden Stephen A.
39:10
Speaker 2: Smith is a sellout.
39:13
Speaker 1: All of a sudden now that it's Donald Trump, Stephen A.
39:15
Speaker 1: Smith got to be a closeted Republican. Maybe Stephen A.
39:20
Speaker 1: Smith is somebody, and listen, I'm not a Stephen A.
39:22
Speaker 2: Smith fan.
39:25
Speaker 1: Not by any stretch of the imagination. I think Stephen A.
39:28
Speaker 1: Smith is one of the problems. But if you think
39:31
Speaker 1: about it, the minute that someone like Stephen A. Smith
39:38
Speaker 1: decides that they want to march to the beat of
39:40
Speaker 1: their own drum, they get lampooned for it. And you
39:46
Speaker 1: still have people who've not let up. on Stephen A.
39:49
Speaker 1: Smith going to the White House with Bill Maher and
39:52
Speaker 1: Kid Rock to eat dinner with Trump.
39:55
Speaker 2: Take D.L. Hughley for an example. D.L.
39:58
Speaker 1: Hughley is one of those people that arrive with the
40:00
Speaker 1: Democratic Party until the wheels fall off the car. But
40:04
Speaker 1: at the same time, the Democratic Party, knowing that they
40:10
Speaker 1: have the black vote essentially on lock, doesn't really have
40:15
Speaker 1: to go and do anything with any sense of urgency
40:18
Speaker 1: when it comes to the black community because they know
40:20
Speaker 1: the black community is going to be there to support
40:22
Speaker 1: them regardless.
40:26
Speaker 2: And people like D.L.
40:27
Speaker 1: Hughley are willing to toe that Democratic line as far
40:31
Speaker 1: and as wide as they have to. Let's think about
40:36
Speaker 1: it like this from another perspective. Nicki Minaj, she has
40:42
Speaker 1: been one of President Trump's favorite people here lately. Nicki
40:49
Speaker 1: Minaj has been in the Oval Office. She's flown on
40:51
Speaker 1: Air Force One. And recently, she appeared at a rally
40:56
Speaker 1: where to anyone who was watching it, saw how Donald
41:00
Speaker 1: Trump called her up on stage. And while she was
41:03
Speaker 1: up there talking, we all saw Donald Trump looking at
41:06
Speaker 1: her ass.
41:07
Speaker 2: Now, let's be honest.
41:10
Speaker 1: If Donald Trump, as a man, as a heterosexual male
41:14
Speaker 1: as he claims to be. Now we know it's not
41:19
Speaker 1: morally right because what you're doing if you got on
41:23
Speaker 1: stage at a rally and talked about Nicki Minaj's ass,
41:26
Speaker 1: what you'd be doing is you'd be committing lust.
41:31
Speaker 2: You're a married man and you're talking about somebody else.
41:33
Speaker 1: But if he got up there and talked about her
41:36
Speaker 1: ass instead of John Hustad's ass, people would be more
41:41
Speaker 1: willing to accept it. It would be more palatable. Then
41:44
Speaker 1: when he gets up there talking about Houston, his ass, right?
41:49
Speaker 1: So Nicki Minaj has unapologetically become one of Donald Trump's
41:56
Speaker 1: biggest supporters. She even got up there at that rally
41:58
Speaker 1: the other day and insinuated that if he got the
42:01
Speaker 1: opportunity to run for a third term, she.
42:03
Speaker 2: Would vote for him.
42:06
Speaker 1: And the reaction from the black community has not been
42:09
Speaker 1: one that's been great. And you got people who think
42:13
Speaker 1: that Nicki Minaj is crazy, that she's only doing it
42:17
Speaker 1: because of something that she could get out of it politically.
42:21
Speaker 1: That she does not understand what she's doing, that she
42:25
Speaker 1: has to be the dumbest black person on the face
42:28
Speaker 1: of the earth to be kissing the ass of Donald Trump. Now,
42:34
Speaker 1: Republicans also have a role to play in this as well.
42:38
Speaker 1: When Nicki Minaj was still on the other side, Or
42:41
Speaker 1: let's put it this way. Before Nicki Minaj ever really
42:44
Speaker 1: started openly talking about her political stances, when she was
42:50
Speaker 1: still celebrated in black culture, you have people on the
42:57
Speaker 1: right who talk about the debauchery and the degeneracy.
43:03
Speaker 2: Of her music.
43:05
Speaker 1: About how people like her were not good role models
43:09
Speaker 1: to look up to. Didn't Charlie Kirk say something about
43:11
Speaker 1: her and Cardi B one time not being good role
43:13
Speaker 1: models that young girls should look up to? And all
43:16
Speaker 1: of a sudden, what happened? When Nicki Minaj came out
43:21
Speaker 1: and basically solidified her support for Donald Trump, she was
43:27
Speaker 1: on stage at a turning point event with Erica Kirk.
43:31
Speaker 1: She's been in the White House. She's been on the
43:34
Speaker 1: playing with Trump she's been at a rally she's been
43:36
Speaker 1: embraced by the same people who at one point in
43:39
Speaker 1: time claimed that her music was leading to the degeneracy
43:43
Speaker 1: that they saw taking place every day in the black
43:47
Speaker 1: community now she's on their side and now they love
43:56
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj she's one of us Nicki Minaj is a
43:59
Speaker 1: true patriot she understands what's at stake We love you, Nikki.
44:07
Speaker 2: But when she was on the other side, she was
44:11
Speaker 2: a slut. She was a whore.
44:16
Speaker 1: She was someone that young girls should not look up to.
44:21
Speaker 1: You see how things change? How she's become celebrated by
44:27
Speaker 1: the same people that was so vitriolic towards her. when
44:33
Speaker 1: she wasn't aligning with their.
44:37
Speaker 2: Beliefs. The same could be said for celebrities and athletes.
44:46
Speaker 1: You know, as long as someone's politics lines up with yours,
44:50
Speaker 1: you don't mind hearing them talk about it openly at
44:52
Speaker 1: a concert. You don't mind hearing them openly talk about
44:55
Speaker 1: it at a press conference if they're an athlete. But
44:58
Speaker 1: the minute that the person views doesn't align with yours.
45:01
Speaker 2: Oh, shut up.
45:02
Speaker 1: We didn't come here to hear you talk politics. Shut
45:04
Speaker 1: up and dribble. Isn't that what Laura Ingraham told LeBron?
45:09
Speaker 1: Nearly 10 years ago to shut up and dribble. Now,
45:13
Speaker 1: if LeBron came out as a conservative. Do you think
45:17
Speaker 1: Laura Ingraham would have told him to shut up and dribble?
45:21
Speaker 1: She would have told him to dribble and talk some more.
45:24
Speaker 1: If he showed any inkling. Of being conservative. You know,
45:32
Speaker 1: conservatives are big on that. We don't want to get
45:36
Speaker 1: lectured by artists and athletes about politics, but lo and behold,
45:43
Speaker 1: the minute that someone like a Kid Rock or a
45:45
Speaker 1: Jason Aldean or a Mike Tyson or an Evander Holyfield
45:50
Speaker 1: or a Floyd Mayweather or a Nicki Minaj or Lee
45:56
Speaker 1: Greenwood or anybody of that ilk, as long as they
45:59
Speaker 1: come out, And talk politics as long as you guys
46:02
Speaker 1: like it.
46:03
Speaker 2: Oh, you love it. Talk to me all day, Mike.
46:06
Speaker 2: Don't knock me out. Talk to me about politics. We
46:08
Speaker 2: love you.
46:13
Speaker 1: And it's Democrats that call those people sellouts and sambos
46:19
Speaker 1: for joining forces with Trump. I don't understand what they see.
46:25
Speaker 1: What's so appealing about Trump? And what's appealing about the
46:31
Speaker 1: Democratic Party right now? I mean, this is a party
46:35
Speaker 1: that believes in open borders, sex change operations for minors,
46:42
Speaker 1: prisoners in jail being allowed to transition, men playing in
46:48
Speaker 1: women's sports, all the things that they believe in, and
46:52
Speaker 1: yet they wonder why people don't support them wholeheartedly. Look
46:58
Speaker 1: at El-Sayed right now in Michigan. 77% of black voters
47:04
Speaker 1: in Michigan are supporting Abdul El-Sayed. Why is that number
47:09
Speaker 1: so interesting? Because Abdul El-Sayed, as a Democrat, should be
47:14
Speaker 1: doing pretty well with black Democratic voters. Gretchen Whitmer, constantly
47:20
Speaker 1: around the 80% mark with black voters.
47:24
Speaker 2: But yet, he's in the 70s.
47:27
Speaker 1: And yet you got Haley Stevens, who hasn't even really
47:29
Speaker 1: been out there campaigning for, and she did a better
47:32
Speaker 1: job of getting black voters coming her way in Michigan than.
47:35
Speaker 2: Abdul Syed has done as the nominee.
47:41
Speaker 1: You know things are bad in Michigan when Haley Stevens'
47:44
Speaker 1: fiance has basically said, look, I can't support that guy.
47:49
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't prioritize the concerns of Jewish citizens that
47:54
Speaker 1: live in the state.
47:56
Speaker 2: So her fiance is like, I'm out.
47:59
Speaker 1: So we know that if Abdul Al-Sayed loses in Michigan,
48:02
Speaker 1: Haley Stevens is going to be one of the reasons
48:04
Speaker 1: why that they're going to use to blame for why
48:09
Speaker 1: Al-Sayed couldn't pull it off.
48:12
Speaker 2: The same thing in Texas.
48:14
Speaker 1: Just flipped. If Ken Paxton. Loses to James Tallarico. You
48:24
Speaker 1: best believe that the Republicans are going to point to
48:28
Speaker 1: John Cornyn not supporting him enough as the reason why
48:31
Speaker 1: he lost. Now, this is the same John Cornyn that
48:37
Speaker 1: you guys wanted no parts of. The same John Cornyn
48:40
Speaker 1: that you guys had no problem calling a rhino. But
48:43
Speaker 1: the very minute that your candidate, your preferred candidate of choice,
48:47
Speaker 1: is in trouble, now you need that rhino to basically
48:50
Speaker 1: come out and support the very guy who you said
48:53
Speaker 1: would be a better senator than him. I guarantee you,
48:58
Speaker 1: if it was John Cornyn going up against James Tallarico,
49:03
Speaker 1: we wouldn't even be talking about this race.
49:07
Speaker 2: But what I don't understand about Republicans.
49:12
Speaker 1: Is why they're so flabbergasted about what's going on in Texas.
49:18
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, the past few times that Ted
49:23
Speaker 1: Cruz has ran for re-election, haven't those races been closer
49:27
Speaker 1: than people anticipated? When he ran against Colin Allred, that
49:31
Speaker 1: race was particularly close. When he ran against Beto O'Rourke,
49:35
Speaker 1: that race was particularly close.
49:38
Speaker 2: When is the last.
49:39
Speaker 1: Time you've looked at a Ted Cruz race in Texas
49:42
Speaker 1: and you said, man, he really coasted the victory that time?
49:45
Speaker 2: It's been a while.
49:49
Speaker 1: John Cornyn has been in that seat since the early 2000s.
49:53
Speaker 1: And there's a strong chance that a Democrat is going
49:57
Speaker 1: to claim that seat for the first time since Lyndon
50:01
Speaker 1: Johnson vacated that seat.
50:04
Speaker 2: To become vice president under John F. Kennedy.
50:10
Speaker 1: John Tower took that seat. And it's been in Republican
50:16
Speaker 1: hands ever since. And now, because of the unlikability of
50:20
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, coupled with James Tallarico being a candidate that
50:25
Speaker 1: a lot of Texans feel comfortable getting behind, there's a
50:31
Speaker 1: strong chance that that seat is going to go to
50:33
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Which brings me to what I want to
50:37
Speaker 1: talk about next. There is something happening in the Republican
50:44
Speaker 1: Party that people just don't want to talk about. We
50:48
Speaker 1: see Donald Trump crisscrossing the country, going from state to state,
50:52
Speaker 1: doing his best to make sure that people are energized
50:57
Speaker 1: about voting Republican on November 3rd or even before.
51:03
Speaker 2: What people aren't understanding is.
51:06
Speaker 1: That there are two core reasons why behind why donald
51:11
Speaker 1: trump is doing what he's doing number one donald trump
51:16
Speaker 1: understands that people are indeed in fact frustrated with the
51:20
Speaker 1: direction that he's taking the country in number two and
51:25
Speaker 1: this is the reason that a lot of people don't
51:27
Speaker 1: talk about in my opinion the biggest reason why donald
51:31
Speaker 1: trump is crisscrossing the country.
51:33
Speaker 2: Like he is is because donald trump understands.
51:38
Speaker 1: That a lot of these candidates that are running for
51:40
Speaker 1: office just don't have individual appeal. And so it makes
51:44
Speaker 1: them hard for them to go out and actually be
51:47
Speaker 1: able to connect with voters the same way that Donald
51:51
Speaker 1: Trump has been able to connect to voters.
51:53
Speaker 2: Can I prove my point? Absolutely, I can.
51:56
Speaker 1: Think about the counties in Texas that Donald Trump won
51:59
Speaker 1: in 2024. Donald Trump essentially ran away with Texas in 2024.
52:07
Speaker 1: And think about the dogfight that Ken Paxton is in currently.
52:11
Speaker 1: Donald Trump won Michigan in 2024. And think about the
52:15
Speaker 1: dogfight that Mike Rogers is in against Abdul Al-Sayed.
52:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump won Ohio in 2024.
52:23
Speaker 1: And think about the dogfight that John Husted is in
52:26
Speaker 1: against Sharon Brown. Donald Trump also won South Carolina in 2024.
52:31
Speaker 1: And Darlene Graham is in a dogfight against Amy Andrews.
52:39
Speaker 1: See the correlation there? These people just don't have that it,
52:46
Speaker 1: that moxie about.
52:49
Speaker 2: Have you heard Ken Paxton speak?
52:53
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton doesn't get you motivated to want to go
52:57
Speaker 1: to the refrigerator and get a drink, let alone go
53:00
Speaker 1: vote for him. Mike Rogers just doesn't seem interested in campaigning.
53:06
Speaker 1: The only time you really hear about Mike Rogers campaigning
53:09
Speaker 1: is if Trump or Vance are in town.
53:11
Speaker 2: Right now, I know he does campaign. I'm just saying
53:14
Speaker 2: that's how it feels.
53:17
Speaker 1: Darlene Graham, when she's not being force fed a script
53:21
Speaker 1: that's been written for her by Lindsey Graham's staffers.
53:26
Speaker 2: You don't really get a lot of off the cuff
53:28
Speaker 2: moments with her.
53:30
Speaker 1: And the same could be said in Tennessee about Marsha Blackburn,
53:33
Speaker 1: who's running for governor. The same can be said here
53:35
Speaker 1: in my state about Cindy High Smith. And the same
53:38
Speaker 1: thing can be said about a lot of Republican candidates.
53:40
Speaker 1: Once you get them away from where they feel comfortable,
53:44
Speaker 1: you see them clam up. The same way you see Democrats.
53:50
Speaker 1: But more specifically, Republicans. Because they understand that the best
53:56
Speaker 1: thing for them to do is shut the hell up
53:58
Speaker 1: and let Donald Trump take the lead. Because they realize
54:04
Speaker 1: that nobody really is voting for them because they like them.
54:08
Speaker 2: They're voting for them because Donald Trump told them to.
54:13
Speaker 1: Which is why earlier today, speaking of South Carolina, which
54:16
Speaker 1: I just previously mentioned, Donald Trump was there holding a
54:20
Speaker 1: rally for Darlene Graham, and Fox News interviewed a guy,
54:25
Speaker 1: and he pretty much said, hey, I was young in
54:27
Speaker 1: the 70s, so I didn't get a chance to go
54:30
Speaker 1: to South America to witness Jonestown.
54:32
Speaker 2: But this is as close as I think I'll ever get.
54:35
Speaker 1: What he basically said in the moment was that the
54:37
Speaker 1: Trump movement feels like the movement that Jim Jones started,
54:42
Speaker 1: which ultimately ended in hundreds of people drinking flavor aid
54:49
Speaker 1: that was laced.
54:52
Speaker 2: Jim Jones directed those people to drink that stuff.
54:56
Speaker 1: And you have a lot of people, not just that
54:58
Speaker 1: guy that Fox News interviewed, but you had a lot
55:00
Speaker 1: of people who feel like that the Trump movement is
55:03
Speaker 1: like a cult.
55:05
Speaker 2: Now, what I would advise people to think.
55:07
Speaker 1: About is that if you're going to call the Trump
55:10
Speaker 1: movement a cult, think of all the people who willfully
55:16
Speaker 1: walk in lockstep with everything the Democrats do. Both of
55:19
Speaker 1: these political parties feel like cults. It's just that currently
55:24
Speaker 1: the Democrats don't have a cult leader like the Republicans do.
55:28
Speaker 1: The Republicans have their cult leader. And it's Donald Trump.
55:31
Speaker 1: The Democrats are still looking for theirs. And I think
55:34
Speaker 1: after the midterms, we're finally going to see the Democrats
55:37
Speaker 1: potentially settle on who their next cult leader is going
55:40
Speaker 1: to be. It's been Obama for a long time. But
55:44
Speaker 1: it's been hard to find another cult leader because it's
55:46
Speaker 1: been hard to find somebody in the Democratic Party that's
55:49
Speaker 1: been able to match the charisma and has the oratorial
55:52
Speaker 1: skills like a Barack Obama. So they've been struggling. to
55:59
Speaker 1: find their next Jim Jones, so to speak. Their next
56:03
Speaker 1: David Koresh, so to speak. So when you think about
56:10
Speaker 1: these Republican candidates throughout the country, the individual appeal that
56:17
Speaker 1: they lack is what has kept so many people on
56:22
Speaker 1: the fence and basically saying, look, so-and-so just doesn't excite me.
56:30
Speaker 1: Think of Michelle Tafoya in Minnesota. When have you heard
56:34
Speaker 1: about Michelle Tafoya getting out and campaigning? Every time she's
56:39
Speaker 1: interviewed on Fox News, she's in the same room in
56:42
Speaker 1: her house. And she wonders why Peggy Flanagan still has
56:47
Speaker 1: the upper hand on her in the state. Not because
56:50
Speaker 1: she did a good job as Tim Walz's lieutenant governor.
56:54
Speaker 2: But because people just.
56:55
Speaker 1: Don't really find Michelle Tafoya to be relatable because you
56:59
Speaker 1: don't really see her out that much. And it looks
57:04
Speaker 1: like Minnesota is going to be a democratic state because
57:07
Speaker 1: it seems like Amy Klobuchar is going to coast her
57:09
Speaker 1: way to victory in the governor's race. So take that
57:13
Speaker 1: for what you take it as. And you know things
57:19
Speaker 1: have gotten bad. If Republicans have to constantly beat Republicans
57:25
Speaker 1: over the head about what's going on out in Alaska,
57:29
Speaker 1: don't vote for.
57:30
Speaker 2: The other Dan Sullivan. Vote for the Dan Sullivan, the incumbent.
57:35
Speaker 1: The New York Times broke a story the other day
57:38
Speaker 1: that the Democratic Party out there in Alaska tried everything
57:42
Speaker 1: in their power to make sure that somebody in Alaska
57:48
Speaker 1: named Dan Sullivan was got on the ballot so that
57:51
Speaker 1: way it could trick Republican voters into believing that they're
57:54
Speaker 1: voting for the Dan Sullivan while they're voting for pretty
57:58
Speaker 1: much the stunt double Dan Sullivan.
58:01
Speaker 2: It's a petty political game.
58:04
Speaker 1: But we know that political games have existed since political
58:07
Speaker 1: parties have existed.
58:10
Speaker 2: If you want to take it back that far.
58:15
Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why I believe that
58:18
Speaker 1: in this post-Trump era That we're getting close to. You're
58:23
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of people try to come
58:25
Speaker 1: in and fill his shoes.
58:27
Speaker 2: But they won't be able to.
58:30
Speaker 1: Because once again, love or hate Donald Trump is going
58:32
Speaker 1: to be hard to replicate.
58:36
Speaker 2: The sort of energy.
58:39
Speaker 1: Good energy, bad energy, depends on how you look at it.
58:42
Speaker 1: The energy that he bought to the Republican Party. I mean,
58:47
Speaker 1: you've had some people that have come along that have
58:49
Speaker 1: tried to be mini-me's of Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis comes
58:53
Speaker 1: to mind, Vivek Ramaswamy, and J.D. Vance is trying his
58:57
Speaker 1: best to be a mini-me Donald Trump. The same guy
59:01
Speaker 1: whom at one point in time he called America's Hitler.
59:06
Speaker 1: And now he wants to be the heir apparent of
59:09
Speaker 1: the MAGA movement. You're going to see the MAGA wing
59:14
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party splinter.
59:17
Speaker 2: When Donald Trump steps aside. I believe you are.
59:21
Speaker 1: Because you're going to have some people in MAGA who
59:23
Speaker 1: believes that J.D.
59:24
Speaker 2: Vance is the future.
59:26
Speaker 1: You're going to have others that believe that it's Vivek Ramaswamy,
59:29
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis.
59:31
Speaker 2: I mean, the list is going to go on and
59:33
Speaker 2: on and on.
59:34
Speaker 1: It is kind of ironic that MAGA claims to be
59:38
Speaker 1: against the neocons and Marco Rubio is a neocon.
59:44
Speaker 2: Take that however you want.
59:47
Speaker 1: But they have to get to a point where they
59:50
Speaker 1: find candidates that will be able to appeal.
59:55
Speaker 2: To their base.
59:57
Speaker 1: Because if Donald Trump hasn't, if he had not done
1:00:00
Speaker 1: such a poor job with the country, and if these
1:00:03
Speaker 1: candidates were more likable, you wouldn't need him crisscrossing the country.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Every day, one rally, two rallies. Sometimes he does three
1:00:13
Speaker 1: rallies in a day. He wouldn't have to do all
1:00:16
Speaker 1: that if things had been different. If they'd been able
1:00:21
Speaker 1: to find candidates that could stand on their own two feet.
1:00:26
Speaker 1: And you have some people saying, Trump doesn't get enough
1:00:30
Speaker 1: credit for these rallies. He wouldn't have to be doing
1:00:33
Speaker 1: them if his results in office would speak for themselves.
1:00:39
Speaker 2: There's a reason.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: I just gave them to you. There's two reasons why
1:00:44
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has to crisscross the country. Because of the
1:00:48
Speaker 1: job he's done as president and because of the people
1:00:51
Speaker 1: that he's propping.
1:00:52
Speaker 2: Up, they're just not that likable.
1:00:57
Speaker 1: He always brags about Ken Paxton being the best attorney
1:01:00
Speaker 1: general in the country and the best one in Texas' history.
1:01:04
Speaker 1: And you have a large group of Texans that don't
1:01:07
Speaker 1: share that sentiment.
1:01:09
Speaker 2: They believe that.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton has done a horrific job as attorney general.
1:01:16
Speaker 1: So that's something that he needs to really think about
1:01:20
Speaker 1: as we enter the final stretch.
1:01:24
Speaker 2: Of the midterm.
1:01:28
Speaker 1: So I talked about earlier in the show when I
1:01:31
Speaker 1: was doing the preview, why the Democrats truly want power.
1:01:38
Speaker 1: This is going to tie in perfectly with our conversation
1:01:41
Speaker 1: about Ilhan Omar. So for those of you who are unfamiliar,
1:01:47
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman from the state of Minnesota.
1:01:50
Speaker 1: And earlier this month, There was a raid done by
1:01:55
Speaker 1: the Trump Justice Department on the Washington, D.C. home that
1:02:00
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar shares with her husband. Basically, the reason why
1:02:05
Speaker 1: the raid was done. It's because Donald Trump and people
1:02:11
Speaker 1: within the Todd Blanch ran Justice Department.
1:02:15
Speaker 2: Feel that Ilhan Omar for years has lied about. Her status.
1:02:23
Speaker 1: Of being a legal immigrant from Somalia. They think she
1:02:28
Speaker 1: falsified documents. They think that, you know, she married her
1:02:33
Speaker 1: own brother so that way he could get citizenship the
1:02:35
Speaker 1: whole night. I've never been a fan of Ilhan Omar
1:02:42
Speaker 1: because Ilhan Omar is just like any other politician. Won't
1:02:46
Speaker 1: you to believe that she's fighting for you while the
1:02:48
Speaker 1: whole time she's doing nothing but building her own cell phone?
1:02:52
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar, like any other politician, has used her office
1:02:55
Speaker 1: to gain massive amounts of wealth, but will come home
1:02:58
Speaker 1: to her constituents and lie and say that she hasn't
1:03:01
Speaker 1: built up any type of tangible wealth. It's almost like
1:03:04
Speaker 1: the people who constantly defend Donald Trump in saying, oh,
1:03:07
Speaker 1: he hasn't used the White House to enrich himself and
1:03:09
Speaker 1: his family.
1:03:10
Speaker 2: Yes, he has. He'd be a damn fool to believe
1:03:12
Speaker 2: that he has.
1:03:16
Speaker 1: All these politicians use their office to enrich themselves. So
1:03:23
Speaker 1: getting back to Ilhan Omar, the Republicans feel that they
1:03:33
Speaker 1: have a strong chance of doing what needs to be
1:03:37
Speaker 1: done so that way she's deported.
1:03:40
Speaker 2: So much for them caring about affordability.
1:03:42
Speaker 1: So much for them care about bringing the war with
1:03:45
Speaker 1: Iran to an end. So much for them caring about
1:03:48
Speaker 1: making sure that people could afford to go to college.
1:03:49
Speaker 1: The only thing they care about It's stuff like Ilhan Omar.
1:03:56
Speaker 1: So I say all that to say this. Democrats are
1:04:02
Speaker 1: crying foul about Donald Trump using the Justice Department to
1:04:05
Speaker 1: go after Ilhan Omar.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: Let's be honest with ourselves.
1:04:13
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the Democrats are crying foul because
1:04:17
Speaker 1: the Trump Justice.
1:04:18
Speaker 2: Department is going after Ilhan Omar.
1:04:20
Speaker 1: If there is something there, do it this brings me
1:04:25
Speaker 1: to this conversation that i've been wanting to have that
1:04:28
Speaker 1: we started in episode 17 that i want to finish
1:04:31
Speaker 1: now or that we started episode.
1:04:33
Speaker 2: 19 or 18 and then we're going to finish now
1:04:36
Speaker 2: my apologies.
1:04:39
Speaker 1: The democrats true reason for wanting power has nothing to
1:04:43
Speaker 1: do at the outset with lowering costs It has nothing
1:04:48
Speaker 1: to do with them wanting to rein in Trump's power
1:04:51
Speaker 1: when it comes to his war with Iran. The sole
1:04:54
Speaker 1: reason why Democrats want power is to do what they
1:04:57
Speaker 1: did when they got power in his first term, to
1:05:01
Speaker 1: go after him, investigate him, impeach him, and hopefully, if
1:05:05
Speaker 1: they get some Republicans to grow a set of balls,
1:05:09
Speaker 1: to convict him and remove him from office. That's their plan.
1:05:12
Speaker 1: All that other stuff that y'all want done, that's secondary
1:05:15
Speaker 1: to them. What's primary for them is making sure that
1:05:19
Speaker 1: in their minds they hold Donald Trump responsible for the
1:05:24
Speaker 1: things that they feel that he's done to this country
1:05:28
Speaker 1: that set it back as opposed to moved it forward.
1:05:33
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar is going to be a martyr for them.
1:05:39
Speaker 1: If it's proven that her immigration stuff was falsified, she's
1:05:44
Speaker 1: going to be a martyr for them. And they're going
1:05:47
Speaker 1: to promise that if they don't get power in 2026,
1:05:50
Speaker 1: if they get it in 2028, they're going to do
1:05:52
Speaker 1: everything to make sure that they go after the people
1:05:56
Speaker 1: in Trump's orbit. Now, you got to ask yourself if
1:05:58
Speaker 1: you're a Democratic voter. If you're a voter who feels
1:06:03
Speaker 1: that he's done some nefarious things, that people around him
1:06:06
Speaker 1: have done some nefarious things, you got to ask yourself,
1:06:09
Speaker 1: is it important to go after them? Or is it
1:06:13
Speaker 1: important to make sure that the needs and the concerns
1:06:15
Speaker 1: of everyday Americans are addressed first? Because they're the ones
1:06:21
Speaker 1: that's around here doing all the screaming about, I'm.
1:06:23
Speaker 2: Going to help bring down your cost.
1:06:25
Speaker 1: I'm going to help do all these different things to
1:06:27
Speaker 1: make your life better. But deep down inside, they know
1:06:31
Speaker 1: that their sole objective.
1:06:35
Speaker 2: Is to go after Trump.
1:06:39
Speaker 1: Now, as I've mentioned in the previous episode, if they
1:06:41
Speaker 1: go after Pete Hexself, I'd have no problem with that.
1:06:45
Speaker 1: But as Pete Hexself has done some things at the
1:06:47
Speaker 1: Pentagon that I am not a fan of, I think
1:06:52
Speaker 1: he likes the idea.
1:06:54
Speaker 2: Of just being there.
1:06:57
Speaker 1: Because it gives him that rush of adrenaline that potentially
1:07:01
Speaker 1: Fox News never gave him. Being the head of the
1:07:05
Speaker 1: very thing that he served in It gives them that
1:07:09
Speaker 1: extra rush that hosting Fox and Friends weekends probably just
1:07:15
Speaker 1: never gave them. So while the Democrats continue to scream about, hey,
1:07:21
Speaker 1: we want to help bring down your costs, we're going
1:07:24
Speaker 1: to do this, we're going to do that for you,
1:07:25
Speaker 1: their sole objective is to go after him.
1:07:29
Speaker 2: The Republicans' sole objective is to keep towing the line.
1:07:35
Speaker 1: To keep making sure that Donald Trump is lifted up
1:07:38
Speaker 1: as this great president that's doing everything he can to
1:07:42
Speaker 1: make this country great again.
1:07:44
Speaker 2: Because we know what's going to happen.
1:07:47
Speaker 1: If the Republicans lose the midterms, Donald Trump is going
1:07:52
Speaker 1: to use that as fuel to go around and tell people, see,
1:07:54
Speaker 1: we're just about to get this country turned around until
1:07:58
Speaker 1: those pesky Democrats want control of the Congress.
1:08:03
Speaker 2: It's almost like when you watch Scooby-Doo, And they catch
1:08:06
Speaker 2: the bad guys. We would have gotten.
1:08:08
Speaker 1: Away with it if it wasn't for those so-and-sos. That's
1:08:14
Speaker 1: how Trump and the Republicans are going to look at
1:08:16
Speaker 1: the Democrats if the Democrats indeed, in fact, get power.
1:08:23
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to talk about, and then we're
1:08:25
Speaker 1: going to wrap this thing up.
1:08:26
Speaker 2: 2028 election fatigue.
1:08:32
Speaker 1: Why will there be fatigue in 2028 when it comes
1:08:35
Speaker 1: to the election? The same reason why there was fatigue
1:08:41
Speaker 1: in 24, why there was fatigue in 20. As more
1:08:50
Speaker 1: and more people become disillusioned with politics, and as both
1:08:54
Speaker 1: parties struggle to bring someone appetizing to the forefront, you're
1:09:01
Speaker 1: going to see people continue to ask a question that
1:09:04
Speaker 1: I've seen asked time and time and time again. Can
1:09:08
Speaker 1: either party do better than the candidate that they've selected?
1:09:13
Speaker 1: A lot of people are going to be asking that question.
1:09:15
Speaker 1: Why does it seem like we can't get any fresh blood?
1:09:18
Speaker 1: Why does it always seem like the candidate has to
1:09:21
Speaker 1: be old and out of touch and not understanding of
1:09:24
Speaker 1: where the country's going because they're so stuck in where
1:09:26
Speaker 1: the country used to be? I've already told you guys
1:09:32
Speaker 1: why many Republicans are going to have a problem with J.D.
1:09:35
Speaker 2: Vance. Not with him.
1:09:38
Speaker 1: But with the fact that his wife is Indian, their
1:09:41
Speaker 1: children is half Indians, And because he's a Catholic.
1:09:49
Speaker 2: J.D.
1:09:49
Speaker 1: Vance isn't what you would call a true red-blooded American
1:09:53
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's eyes. And they're going to
1:09:57
Speaker 1: make sure that they hold his feet to the fire
1:09:58
Speaker 1: for that. Democrats, if they were to gain the majority
1:10:03
Speaker 1: in Congress in these midterms, people are going to look
1:10:06
Speaker 1: at that and they're going to say, hmm, if they
1:10:09
Speaker 1: do a good job with that, then maybe we should
1:10:12
Speaker 1: give them the White House too. I believe after the midterms,
1:10:18
Speaker 1: the person that we're going to see come to the forefront,
1:10:22
Speaker 1: at least for the Democrats, is going to be none
1:10:23
Speaker 1: other than AOC. With Bernie's blessing. A lot of people
1:10:34
Speaker 1: can gravitate towards AOC. Because in their minds, She's speaking
1:10:43
Speaker 1: all the right messages that need to be spoken. But
1:10:48
Speaker 1: where AOC would have a hard time with people is
1:10:51
Speaker 1: the fact that she doesn't have a family of her own.
1:10:55
Speaker 1: She always is constantly talking about how wealthy among us
1:11:00
Speaker 1: are profiting while everybody else is struggling, while meanwhile she's
1:11:04
Speaker 1: enriched herself with her office as well. I wish people
1:11:07
Speaker 1: would start to understand that more and really understand get
1:11:11
Speaker 1: to the crux of why that's so important to people
1:11:14
Speaker 1: like myself that's on the outside looking in when it
1:11:16
Speaker 1: comes to this political system.
1:11:18
Speaker 2: I say all that to say this.
1:11:22
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who either party chooses to put up
1:11:26
Speaker 1: in 2028 because if you're like myself and you've already
1:11:31
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where you have no intentions of
1:11:33
Speaker 1: re-entering the arena that happens to be politics or voting
1:11:39
Speaker 1: in these elections It doesn't matter who they put forward.
1:11:44
Speaker 1: Because you've already made a commitment to yourself that it
1:11:46
Speaker 1: won't matter. Because the same stuff is going to continue
1:11:50
Speaker 1: to happen over and over and over again. It's just
1:11:52
Speaker 1: going to be a new horse leading the pack. And
1:12:00
Speaker 1: when people really understand that, the fatigue around 2028 is going.
1:12:04
Speaker 2: To grow bigger and bigger and bigger.
1:12:09
Speaker 1: As I stated to start the show, Voting is not
1:12:13
Speaker 1: going to save us. A revolution, people waking up saying
1:12:18
Speaker 1: that they're no longer going to take this crap is
1:12:20
Speaker 1: what's really going to save this country. And if we
1:12:23
Speaker 1: ever get to that point, then and only then will
1:12:28
Speaker 1: we finally start to see the change that will bring
1:12:33
Speaker 1: about more prosperity to each and every one of us.
1:12:37
Speaker 1: And with that being said, ladies and gentlemen, that'll wrap
1:12:40
Speaker 1: up today's edition of the Agarius Williams Show. I want
1:12:43
Speaker 1: to thank you guys once again, as always, for listening,
1:12:45
Speaker 1: however and wherever you may be listening. Until next time,
1:12:48
Speaker 1: you guys continue to enjoy your day.
1:12:50
Speaker 2: Stay safe. Take care. God bless. We're out. Peace.
