  Speaker 1: One more thing before I get to the great Jim Jordan.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This jerk-off mayor of ours, this Mamdani, who does he
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: think he's kidding? You know, going out of his way
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to make sure that poor people can go watch the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: World Cup. In the meantime, he had no idea whether
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: those people who got those tickets were poor or not.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the U.S.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Open.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Look, the U.S. Open has been here in New York
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time. It's a great event. I believe
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it's right there with the marathon. Maybe the two best
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: events we've got in New York all year long. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know what?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It is pricey.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So are sporting events, for the most part, outside of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the bleacher seats at Yankee Stadium. That's just the way
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it is. You know, you reach a certain level of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: success in America. You get to enjoy things others can't.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: So what?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: What is this nonsense? Everybody gets a trophy. If you're poor, well,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: why are you poor? Are you poor because you had
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a bad situation? Or are you poor because you enjoy
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: watching cartoons and eating cereal at 2 o'clock in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: morning while the government pays you? While people like Sid
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Rosenberg pay you? I don't know what the answer is,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: but how is this idiot going to ensure that these first-come,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: first-served people at the U.S. Open are all so destitute
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they couldn't afford tickets?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: How can he do that, Justin? I don't know.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: How are you going to prove that you're poor? You can't.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: What are you going to give him?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Food stamps.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a payment. You're going to trade food stamps for U.S.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Open tickets. But it's all PR.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He's such a loser.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really... I really couldn't dislike a person
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: any more than I hate all of these people. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I hate them. That's a strong word.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I hate them. I hate Mamdani.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I hate Hassan Piker.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I've already physically threatened him.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I hate these people. And every decent American, Republican or Democrat,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: should hate them. Now, hopefully, this is going to be
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: good for us Republicans, especially Jewish Republicans, as we get
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: set for the big election. RJC conference coming up in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas this weekend. And we have a laundry list
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of amazing speakers, politicians, laundry list. But you guys know this.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm friends with a lot of Congress people, a lot.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: This guy out of Ohio, Jim Jordan, as far as
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned, is as good as it gets.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I love this guy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So here he is. I think he's in Ohio, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he'll be in Vegas with me this weekend. The great
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. Jim, good morning, buddy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I'm doing fine, and good morning to you. Thanks for
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: all the good work you're doing. And yeah, we will
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: be in Vegas with you later this week, so we're
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: looking forward to that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think you disagreed with anything I just said,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: now do you, Jim?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Well, remember, it was eight months, 26 days ago today,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: when Mom Donnie took the oath of office, said he
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: was going to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the warmth of collectivism. Now, think about that statement. In
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: this country, it was built on rugged individuals chasing down
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: their goals and dreams. In Europe, they told us They
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: told him you couldn't– you had to practice your faith
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a certain way, and they said, no, we don't. We
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: will get on the ship. We will risk it all.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: We will come to America. We can practice our faith
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the way we think the good Lord wants us to,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and if we work hard, we can reach our goals
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and our dreams. He wants to fundamentally change what America
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: is about with this– and I've seen the warmth of collectivism.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: My background is in the sport of wrestling. I wrestled
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in the Soviet Union when– this is how old I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: getting– when it was still the Soviet Union like 40
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: years ago. And I tell people, you go to places
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: like that, you thank the good Lord you live here.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was in Moscow in February. It's like
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: 400 below zero with no food in the shelves. It
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: was the worst place. And it's not about the people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: People are people. But it's about a system that doesn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: recognize freedom and liberty, rule of law, private property, free markets, constitution, bill,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: all the great things we have. and he wants to
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: fundamentally change all that, that is how scary this is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And I think it's, I think this is going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: be a key element in this campaign as we, as
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: more and more Americans wake up and see where the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: left wants to take the country.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Well, my cousin Norm Coleman was on the show yesterday.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And of course he and Matt Brooks won the RJC.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I know you're very close with Norm too. And he said, Sid,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what a perfect time for our conference in Las Vegas,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because it's not just Mamdani, it's El Sayed, Michigan. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think Mike Rogers is going to beat him. I hope
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: so at least, but Sid, and so many others, Chevalier
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in New York, Valdez in New York. And then you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: get a guy who's not even running, but he's become
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the face of the party, who actually said just this
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: week that American Jews are literally placing their lives in danger.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He was happy about it because they continue to defend Israel.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: This guy, Hassan Piker, Jim Jordan, you've been around a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: couple of years. Have you seen anybody worse than that guy?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: No, I've not, and the thing speaks. the ugly outrageous
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: ridiculous wrong things he is saying is uh are just
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like they're frightening and again i think this is going
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to be something we have to go make sure that
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the good people of this great country understand when they
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: head to the polls this uh what is it now
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: 70 days 70 some days um this uh this is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: how serious it is um and and this idea that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: you know this that the left has now that Somehow
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: we should now be friends with the state of Israel.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: This makes no sense. That relationship is beneficial for everyone,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: beneficial for the world, beneficial for Israelis. They're a great country,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: beneficial for our country, the ways that they help us.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, there are religious reasons, there are cultural reasons,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: there are strategic reasons why we should never abandon our
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: friend and ally, the state of Israel. But the left
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: obviously just doesn't see that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Not just the left, I got to tell you, not politicians,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: but I watched an interview last week. There was one
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: guy on the left, and that is a disgraced son
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of former President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, sitting there with
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a guy that you and I liked at one point.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we did, Tucker Carlson.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And in 46 seconds, Jim Jordan, 46 seconds, Tucker Carlson
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: blamed Israel for the laptop Hunter Biden scandal. For pedophilia,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, for the Iran war, basically every
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: ill or every issue in this country is all Israel's fault. Now, yes,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority are on the left, and they're politicians.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: That's even scarier. But there is this little cult, Marjorie
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Fuentes, these lowlifes on the right
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that have joined forces. So it just seems like it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: increasing every day, and I don't get it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's why it's so important we keep that
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: element out of our party. I said this a while back,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: but the once great party of FDR and JFK is
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: now anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and socialist. We've got to make sure
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: none of that element gets in our party. It's one
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of the reasons I was so involved in primaries around
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the country this year, making sure that doing everything we
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: could to help make sure that we didn't get people
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: with those kind of views winning seats to Congress and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: making sure we had a conservative who understood the importance
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: of of this relationship between the United States and the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: state of Israel. It's really, really important in my judgment. So, yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: let's make sure that element doesn't get any foothold in
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the GOP.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: One of your colleagues and friends in Congress, he's a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: dear friend of mine, Randy Fine. He ran against another
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: horrible person, Dale Bilzerian, right? You know the story there,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. This guy put out a two-minute video where
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he was extolling the virtues of Hitler. He put horns
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on my friend Randy Bynes' head, and Randy Bynes said
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it best.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I think you'll agree, Jim.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: November, this is not about Republicans versus Democrats. This is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: about— I hate to say this, Chuck Schumer— this is about good
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: versus evil, right versus wrong. Is that an exaggeration or
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is that about right?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's exactly right. Where the left wants
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: this country to go is really, really scary. And, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you can start with Mamdami statements. You can move to others.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: You can look at this Piper guy and the crazy
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: things he's saying. But, yeah, it is frightening. And obviously
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: we've all had to deal with it to some degree.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We just don't talk about it quite as much as
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I think the left does. But this this this physical
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: violence threats, what Randy's had to endure. I know he's
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: had multiple people who threaten him, people who've been arrested and,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you know, prosecuted everything else. This is ridiculous. With a
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: First Amendment like we have in this country, you get
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: your best ideas, you go make your arguments, you have
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the debate, and then you have the election. That's how
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you settle things. And it's not this violence we've been
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: hearing about many times coming from Republicans. from some of
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: these radicals on the left.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've actually threatened his life a couple of times.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: A few more minutes, Jim Jordan. How happy were you
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to see Lindsay's sister, Darlene, win in South Carolina last night?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's just another testament. I mean, she's
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a wonderful lady. I met her when I was in
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: South Carolina helping a college, Sherry Biggs, a little over
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: a week ago. And then I met Darlene there. And I,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: of course, knew Ralph. Ralph's a good man as well.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: But Darlene is, I think, a testament to President Trump's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: endorsement when President Trump came in and said, we want
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Darlene to be the senator of this great state. Of course,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I think that's what put her over the top. She's
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: going to do a fine job. We're all going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: miss Lindsay. Lindsay was an amazing individual. I know we've
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: talked about that here now for a few weeks, of course, but.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: One of the funniest guys, one of the funniest individuals
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I've ever been around. He had a way of just
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: making you laugh. And it could be an intense debate.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And you're talking to most colleagues about what we're going
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: to do, how we're going to proceed. And he would
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: have some joke. And he was just a funny guy
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and a sharp guy. Of course, you got things done.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: He was a pretty incredible guy.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And for people, I discussed this with Brian Kilmeade last hour,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, for the people who have turned their backs
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on Trump, and you can name the same names again, Tucker, MTG,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: but friends I know too, just civilians, and they go, ah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Trump lost it. Really? Well, he endorses Lindsey's sister. About 92%,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's the number, 92% of the candidates Trump
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: endorsed the last couple of months won. And then look
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: at the other side. How did Bill Cassidy do? How
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: did Thomas Massey do? The people that stabbed Trump in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the back. Well, it's the most powerful endorsement in American
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: political history.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty darn amazing, you know, this and
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: what he has done with the Republican Party in focusing
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: it in on, you know, this maybe the greatest slogan
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: in modern politics is make America great again. And it
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: just resonated with Americans because, yeah, we live in the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: greatest country ever. Let's make sure it stays the greatest
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: country ever. I mean, yeah, President Trump's endorsement is, I think,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the most powerful. I've certainly seen in my time in politics, maybe,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: maybe ever. because when he endorses someone, it sure makes
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a difference.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Two policy calls, Save America Act. Is that going to happen?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I sure hope so. You know, again, we're talking about
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the United States Senate and can they do it? And
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of this is intertwined with the whole issue
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: of the filibuster, as you know, Sid. So I'm to
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the point now, because we know what the Democrats are
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: going to do if they ever get back in control.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: They will get rid of the filibuster and then they'll
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: proceed on all their crazy policies. So we should, I'm convinced,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and of course, I'm not in the Senate, but I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: convinced The Senate should get rid of the filibuster and
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: pass the Save America Act, which would put in place
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the kind of protections we need to make sure our
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: elections work the way they should work and that they're fair,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that they're honest, and that we can get in place
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the policies that make sense. Like no foreigners voting in
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: our election. By the way, we've now deposed our committee
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: working alongside the House administration committee. We've now deposed eight people.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: who are part of ActBlue. Every single one, board members,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: people in part of their fraud division, their CEO, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: their top legal counsel at ActBlue, we've deposed eight of them.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Every single one has taken a The fifth.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Because I'm convinced they were they were taking in some
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: foreign money. Foreign money in our elections. Foreigners voting in
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: our elections. This is why the Save America Act makes
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: so much sense.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Act Blue. That's a bad group of people right there.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Bad group.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: So what do you think about the Supreme Court decision?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Mail in ballots, you know, accepting President Trump's executive order.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: You love it, right? Yeah, of course.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Of course. Because, again, it's common sense. Like, you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: people have said this election is about common sense versus crazy.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I said you could summarize this election, this midterm election
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: in two sentences. They're crazy. We're not. And this is
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: like this this this line about this line of just like, yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: let's make sure that these common sense. policies are in
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: place to guarantee just our safe and secure election. That's
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: what Americans want. And look, if you lose, you lose.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Americans are always for a fair game, fair fight. Let's
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: make sure that happens. This idea that in California, where
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: they have ballot harvesting, it takes three and a half weeks,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: four weeks to figure out who won an election is
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: just goofy. Everyone knows it's goofy. Even people in California
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: know it's goofy. So let's get to the basics here.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: which is exactly what President Trump's trying to do with
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the executive order that was upheld in court, and, of course,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the Save America Act.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: See, Canada has effects here on the United States. You
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: know that Michigan, especially with... when it comes to the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: car industry. So we need to figure this out. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: know right now, Mark Carney's being very tough and President
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Trump is being even tougher. We're going to call Lake Ontario,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Lake America. But you know, Jim Jordan, for the betterment
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of our party, for our country, the U.S.-Canada thing needs
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to be figured out.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and President Trump is, you know, he's been doing
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: deals and involved in negotiations his entire career. He will
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: get this figured out. His and his, you know, president
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: and their team there at the White House, good people.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: They'll they'll they'll get this figured out. But you're right.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: The sooner the better. Let's hope they do. And I
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: think that they will.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Are you closer to Cincinnati or Cleveland?
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati. We're just north of Dayton, Ohio, where our home
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: is near the big town of Urbana. We live out
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: in the country. But yeah, we're about an hour and
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: a half north of Cincinnati, about two and a half
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: hours south and west of Cleveland.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: So you're a Joe Boro Bengals fan, yeah?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. But growing up, I hate people in Ohio.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But when you're a kid, you're like me. When you're
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a kid, you like the winter. So I grew up.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I'm old. I grew up in the 70s. I love
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is blasphemous to say that in Ohio.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: But I loved it. I loved Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Lynn Swan, Mike Webster Center. Loved Mean Joe Green. But
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: my favorite guy, of course, was Jack Lambert from Ohio.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: An Ohio guy playing middle linebacker for the Steelers. I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: wanted to be the next Jack Lambert. You know how
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: you are when you're a kid.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I love watching Jack Lambert tackle people.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: That's terrible, though.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, Vinny Testaverde throwing the ball right to Cornell
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Lake or Dion Figures. Or the Cleveland Browns. I mean,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that was terrible. All right, last one. So have you prepared?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Because you're a great speaker. You're one of my best guests.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You really are. You're not much, I think, the world
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of you, Jim Jordan.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Have you prepared a speech yet for Vegas? Or do
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you write it on the plane on the way there?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: No, I've been thinking about what I want to say.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And one of the things I've been talking about as
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I travel around the country, we're actually traveling now helping
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: candidates and colleagues so that hopefully we can keep this majority,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: which I think we can. I mean, I talk about the.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Do you think we can?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Do you think we will?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: No, I think we will. I really do. I think
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: we will. But we have to, I think, make sure
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: we stress and talk about to the voters what you
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and I've been talking about, just how just how ridiculous
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the left has become. But I've been talking about just
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: how great this country is. 250 years. It's an amazing place.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: There's no place like it. And I've been fortunate enough
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to travel around. You see other places. This is the best.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: We saw it during the World Cup. All these Europeans
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: coming here and talking about Buc-ee's and Costco and big
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: steaks and Prime. All the things. It's an amazing, amazing place.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Where if you got, as I said before, you got
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: a dream, you got a goal, and you work hard,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: good things happen. And a lot of places around the world,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: that's not the case. But it is here. No place
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: is great. And 250 years ago, my wife and I,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: we went to the musical, the stage production of 1776.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: And you look at what those guys did when they
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: wrote it down, declared to the world why it was
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: justified to do what they did and start this experiment
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: in liberty we call America. It is a special, special place.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: And they gave it all. We remember Adams and Jefferson.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: But most of them lost their farm, their family. They
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: lost sons in the battle. Some of them gave their
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: own lives so that we could have the greatest place ever.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: And we don't want to screw that up. We want
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to understand just how special it is. And so I'm
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: going to talk about that and, of course, the special bond.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Because Israel is the same kind of country. What they've done,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: what they've accomplished, unbelievable. 48, what they started. So that's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that common thing that I think is so important. I'm
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to say some of that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: You just did it just now. It was perfect. I mean, Justin,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: send Jim.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: The tape of this and just replay it in Vegas.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: It was perfect.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you use that word special a bunch of times,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and Jim Jordan, you know, I really feel this way.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: You are special.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: So have a safe trip. I can't wait to see
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you in Vegas this.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Weekend, buddy. Thank you.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Look forward to it. Take care.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Me too, buddy.
• 17:08

• 17:11
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio.
