- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rogue Recap. Hot takes, cold facts, and
- 0:05Speaker 1: zero respect for the official narrative. Sit back, roll your eyes,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and let's recap Rogue Style.
- 0:16Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, and welcome to Sound Bites. Eric Eggers
- 0:19Speaker 2: and I here, day after the Democrat bloodbath, and we're
- 0:23Speaker 2: still alive. I know, it's shocking. Um, people are crying
- 0:27Speaker 2: like little bitches. They need to sack up, nut up,
- 0:29Speaker 2: move on. It is time to be strong and not
- 0:33Speaker 2: act like any of this was real. We all know
- 0:35Speaker 2: that there was a bunch of BS going on, but
- 0:39Speaker 2: fortunately for us, our side of the aisle sucks so
- 0:43Speaker 2: bad that we have no election integrity measures whatsoever to
- 0:48Speaker 2: counterbalance the bullshit that we were served last night. Did
- 0:52Speaker 2: I miss anything, Mr.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Eggers?
- 0:54Speaker 4: I think you could say that we probably had a
- 0:56Speaker 4: few candidates that, you know, if, like, Donald Trump's used
- 0:59Speaker 4: to starring in, like, The Apprentice on NBC, then these
- 1:02Speaker 4: are people that were from a reality show on, like,
- 1:04Speaker 4: Tubi or something, you know?
- 1:06Speaker 3: And so I think.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I think we probably could have could have done with
- 1:09Speaker 4: some better messaging, some better candidates. But the but the
- 1:13Speaker 4: size and scope of some of the defeats for Republicans
- 1:17Speaker 4: in states like Texas are truly mind boggling. And so
- 1:20Speaker 4: without question. And so, you know, like I live in Florida.
- 1:23Speaker 4: I think, you know, thank God for the free state
- 1:25Speaker 4: of Florida. But the fact that, you know, Georgia is
- 1:28Speaker 4: now totally blue. You got a Democrat governor. You got
- 1:31Speaker 4: two Democrat senators. Texas has got a dang Democrat governor
- 1:34Speaker 4: and Democrat senator. But the good news is that these
- 1:36Speaker 4: things move in cycles. Remember Obama won North Carolina. Everybody's like,
- 1:39Speaker 4: oh my gosh, we're never going to win another election.
- 1:41Speaker 4: So things move back and forth in pendulums. And I
- 1:43Speaker 4: do believe, I agree with you, everything's going to be
- 1:45Speaker 4: okay in the end.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Listen, if I were a Republican right now, Mike Johnson
- 1:50Speaker 2: has already said he is not going for the minority
- 1:52Speaker 2: whip position. Jim Jordan has said he'll step up and
- 1:54Speaker 2: take the shot. Fortunately, Mike Lawler's not in office anymore,
- 1:58Speaker 2: so he can't vote against Jim Jordan. Not kidding, but kidding,
- 2:01Speaker 2: kind of. Um, so, you know, but I think there's
- 2:05Speaker 2: a few things that I want to put out there.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Number one, because, you know, you really can't look backwards.
- 2:10Speaker 2: You have to look forward because if you're looking backwards,
- 2:13Speaker 2: where are you going? You know, it's, there's, there's really
- 2:16Speaker 2: nothing to gain except information, education, and what not to repeat,
- 2:22Speaker 2: which is interesting because, um, the left thinks that Marxism
- 2:25Speaker 2: and socialism and communism is going to work. So clearly
- 2:28Speaker 2: not informed or educated on the history of our nation
- 2:31Speaker 2: or any nation for that matter. But I would love
- 2:35Speaker 2: to see the Republicans with their two months of stronghold
- 2:40Speaker 2: left because they've done basically nothing for two years. Now,
- 2:44Speaker 2: when I say that, I want to be very clear
- 2:46Speaker 2: because there's a lot of haters out there. And while
- 2:47Speaker 2: I am with you most of the time and enjoy
- 2:49Speaker 2: the hate, I just want to be super clear that
- 2:52Speaker 2: that Trump is in a silo, right? He's just all
- 2:55Speaker 2: by himself doing the Trump thing. And then you have
- 2:58Speaker 2: all of these establishment guys, right? Like you got like
- 3:00Speaker 2: these Trumpers and then these non-Trumpers and then the establishment
- 3:04Speaker 2: and the neocons and they all got names and shit.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Fine. Okay.
- 3:07Speaker 2: But they don't have any sort of unity on what
- 3:11Speaker 2: they could do in the next eight weeks, which is
- 3:14Speaker 2: that they could get that integrity, that election integrity and
- 3:18Speaker 2: some of these measures put in place. Like you've got
- 3:22Speaker 2: Couple months here. Why don't you do something? I mean,
- 3:25Speaker 2: you know, just thinking out loud.
- 3:27Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 3:28Speaker 4: If the argument was that, you know, John Cornyn and
- 3:31Speaker 4: some of the more moderate Republicans in the Senate didn't
- 3:33Speaker 4: want to pass like the SAVE Act because he thought
- 3:36Speaker 4: it was.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Actually going to cost them the elections. Well, the election's over.
- 3:39Speaker 3: It's over.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Your excuse is gone. There's no consequences anymore. You might
- 3:42Speaker 4: as well do it. Yeah, this is the time.
- 3:44Speaker 2: This is the time.
- 3:44Speaker 3: You have a lame duck session and literally everybody's on
- 3:46Speaker 3: their way out the door. So I agree. Like if
- 3:48Speaker 3: you were ever going to shoot your shot player, this
- 3:50Speaker 3: is the time to do it. This is it.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:52Speaker 3: And I agree with you.
- 3:53Speaker 4: It's funny, you know, Donald Trump. in a silo. I
- 3:56Speaker 4: think he's actually like excited about this. You know, there's
- 3:58Speaker 4: a lot of different stuff we could say, but I
- 4:00Speaker 4: think he, uh, will be, you know, he will, it's
- 4:03Speaker 4: not going to change the way he does anything. He's
- 4:05Speaker 4: going to still kind of do his thing and he's
- 4:06Speaker 4: going to put on his little veto cap. And, um,
- 4:09Speaker 4: you know, I, I actually happen to believe that the
- 4:11Speaker 4: system works better with checks and balances. And so like
- 4:14Speaker 4: separation of powers is not the worst thing in the world.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Republicans had their opportunity for two years and, you know, they,
- 4:20Speaker 4: What they did is not what I think people thought
- 4:23Speaker 4: they were going to do. And that's why you saw
- 4:24Speaker 4: the elections go the way they did last night.
- 4:26Speaker 2: And I think too, you know, I had a conversation
- 4:28Speaker 2: with a very well-known pollster yesterday, and he's been in
- 4:31Speaker 2: the game a really long time. And I was talking
- 4:34Speaker 2: about candidates like Stacey Garrity in Pennsylvania, who was running
- 4:38Speaker 2: against incumbent Josh Shapiro, who is a Soros-backed, funded Democrat.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Like, it's not for.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You and I to speculate. It is a fact. And
- 4:51Speaker 2: so I, you know, I despise him. And I was
- 4:54Speaker 2: so excited about Stacey Garrity because she's our state treasurer.
- 4:57Speaker 2: She does a beautiful job, keeps the books in check,
- 5:00Speaker 2: which is really hard to do when you got somebody
- 5:02Speaker 2: like Shapiro who's in the kitchen cooking them all day long.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:05Speaker 2: So I'm like, this is fantastic. So I was talking
- 5:07Speaker 2: to him and I said, you know, it's so depressing
- 5:09Speaker 2: because you have these really smart and accredited and people
- 5:15Speaker 2: who actually care about the state that want to do something.
- 5:18Speaker 2: And they can't do it. And he's like, well, you
- 5:20Speaker 2: know that the NRSC and the RNC didn't give her
- 5:23Speaker 2: one penny. And I was like, what? He goes, Linda,
- 5:27Speaker 2: they didn't give her one cent. And I was like, why?
- 5:30Speaker 2: He's like, couldn't tell you. He's like, they have their
- 5:32Speaker 2: favorites and they have what they pick. And what's interesting
- 5:35Speaker 2: about that. is that the NRSC had about a half
- 5:38Speaker 2: a billion dollars in their coffers.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Advantage, like way more money.
- 5:43Speaker 4: And yeah, half a billion dollar advantage and could coordinate
- 5:45Speaker 4: with the campaigns directly. You know, the same thing happened
- 5:47Speaker 4: to a guy, I really like Justin Murphy in New Jersey.
- 5:49Speaker 4: They didn't give him any money either.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I know.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Yes. And we talked to him yesterday and, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 2: this is a veteran, great guy, you know, no bullshit.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And again, he's like, don't underestimate the New Jersey voter.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And I said to him, I'm like, I don't. I
- 6:03Speaker 2: don't underestimate the New Jersey voter. What I underestimate is
- 6:06Speaker 2: is our ability to outplay the players. They are playing
- 6:10Speaker 2: the game. The Democrats, and I have a real pet
- 6:13Speaker 2: peeve with these people that say democratic. It's not democratic.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Democratic is a process. It's a way of doing things.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Democrat is the party. And it's such a stupid semantic nuance,
- 6:24Speaker 2: but I'm like, could you not? Because you're like taking
- 6:26Speaker 2: down democracy, bro. Like they're not democracy. Trust me all day,
- 6:30Speaker 2: every day. They're not. But Justin Murphy was out there
- 6:33Speaker 2: and he was like, I mean, he just let Cory
- 6:35Speaker 2: book her up. You know, it was like Saritha in
- 6:38Speaker 2: New York, you know, like Letitia James, what have you
- 6:40Speaker 2: done for me lately? And she was just like, boom, boom, boom.
- 6:43Speaker 2: And Letitia James is like, I like ice cream. Like
- 6:48Speaker 2: she just like totally put her on like notice and
- 6:51Speaker 2: you just can't, there's no way to win in the
- 6:54Speaker 2: Democrat game for two reasons. Number one, the way that
- 6:59Speaker 2: they have the money that they do have, the way
- 7:02Speaker 2: that they use it, is so much better than us.
- 7:05Speaker 2: We will not ballot harvest. We will not go out.
- 7:09Speaker 2: We will not walk in the cities that need to
- 7:11Speaker 2: be walked. And when we finally walk them, we're two
- 7:14Speaker 2: months into early voting. Why is the NRSC putting $ 200
- 7:19Speaker 2: million in ads in the last four weeks? Is this
- 7:23Speaker 2: your first day here?
- 7:25Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 7:26Speaker 4: What you're speaking to is like the consultant class, right?
- 7:28Speaker 4: Like they do it because that the consultants that they
- 7:29Speaker 4: work with make money off of it.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And no, it's it's the business has changed.
- 7:34Speaker 4: The model has changed and people have to catch up
- 7:36Speaker 4: in the city where I live, Tallahassee. They spent a
- 7:38Speaker 4: lot of money on a get out the vote operation,
- 7:41Speaker 4: which includes like paying people at the college campuses, go
- 7:44Speaker 4: out and collect the ballots, help.
- 7:46Speaker 3: I mean, that stuff's legal now, largely.
- 7:48Speaker 4: And so, you know, and I do think that the
- 7:50Speaker 4: Republicans were still not quite up to speed in terms
- 7:53Speaker 4: of chasing ballots, not voters.
- 7:56Speaker 3: And you see, you know, as a result that.
- 7:57Speaker 4: But I still think that all that to say, the tactics,
- 8:01Speaker 4: the block and the tackling matters. But when unleaded starts
- 8:04Speaker 4: with the Ford diesel starts with the six, and you
- 8:07Speaker 4: campaign on, hey, we're going to help make everything more affordable.
- 8:10Speaker 4: And then I think, you know, and this, not everybody
- 8:13Speaker 4: agrees with this, but I think the Biden administration became
- 8:17Speaker 4: sneering about, and it was like a holdover from Obama.
- 8:20Speaker 3: It was sneering.
- 8:21Speaker 4: Like, if you don't agree with our DEI, green energy,
- 8:25Speaker 4: all the stuff that we're doing, then like, you're the problem.
- 8:27Speaker 4: And I think that there was hints of that in
- 8:30Speaker 4: the lack of empathy from this administration was like, Hey, well, like, yeah,
- 8:34Speaker 4: we're in this war in Iran.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Of course, it's the right thing to do. There wasn't space.
- 8:39Speaker 3: for disagreement.
- 8:40Speaker 4: And I think when there's no space to like hear
- 8:43Speaker 4: a disagreement about a policy, then people just vote and
- 8:45Speaker 4: they disagree at the ballot box.
- 8:46Speaker 3: And that's what happened. It was way too, stuff's too expensive.
- 8:49Speaker 3: You come in.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Yeah, please.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Well, I just say you come in, And you start
- 8:53Speaker 4: with the tariffs and people are like, okay, well, maybe.
- 8:55Speaker 3: And then it becomes, oh, no, because they want to
- 8:57Speaker 3: lower the rate.
- 8:57Speaker 4: On the 10-year treasury yield because that's going to save
- 8:59Speaker 4: us money on the interest.
- 9:01Speaker 3: And, oh, yeah, it's going to do this and do this.
- 9:03Speaker 4: And you kind of talk yourself into these things because
- 9:05Speaker 4: you want to give people the benefit of the doubt.
- 9:07Speaker 4: Then two years later, the 10-year treasury yield is actually
- 9:11Speaker 4: still up higher than it was when it took over.
- 9:13Speaker 4: The revenue from the tariffs don't appear to have appreciably increased.
- 9:16Speaker 4: change anything that impacts you or me. And so what
- 9:20Speaker 4: has happened is the war in Iran has caused the
- 9:22Speaker 4: price of gas and diesel to go up. And that
- 9:24Speaker 4: means the cost of every other good at every other
- 9:25Speaker 4: store is up as well. And so, yeah, people don't
- 9:28Speaker 4: like that. And so you kind of don't blame them. Right.
- 9:30Speaker 2: But I have to, this is a sticking point for me.
- 9:35Speaker 2: And I feel really, I feel so strongly about this.
- 9:38Speaker 2: The average person, in my opinion, has a very low
- 9:43Speaker 2: IQ on the way that Sure.
- 9:46Speaker 6: Sure.
- 9:50Speaker 2: And the reason why we are so negatively impacted by
- 9:55Speaker 2: anything and everything that happens in the Middle East. Whether
- 9:57Speaker 2: they say they're going after Pickaxe Mountain, whether they say
- 10:01Speaker 2: there's an issue with the Iranian leadership, we're having good talks,
- 10:05Speaker 2: we're not having good talks, we're going to have peace
- 10:07Speaker 2: in eight hours, we're going to have peace in eight days.
- 10:09Speaker 2: It's all bullshit, right? You are negotiating with people who
- 10:14Speaker 2: hang the gays, the lesbians, Anybody who does not agree
- 10:19Speaker 2: with Sharia law from cranes in the middle of Tehran Square. Period,
- 10:23Speaker 2: end of sentence. Like there is no pause there. That's
- 10:26Speaker 2: a reality of the people who live under the Shah.
- 10:29Speaker 2: And they don't seem to understand that that reality is
- 10:32Speaker 2: more powerful than ever. Now, when we talk about being
- 10:35Speaker 2: at war with a nation like Iran, I think the Americans,
- 10:40Speaker 2: specifically Trump and his very small inner circle, which needs
- 10:44Speaker 2: a lot of refining, did not understand You're not going
- 10:48Speaker 2: to war with Iran. You are going to war with
- 10:52Speaker 2: Islamic clerics who believe it is their job to die
- 10:55Speaker 2: for Allah. You are not winning this war unless you
- 10:59Speaker 2: do X, Y, Z. They never got to X, Y, Z.
- 11:02Speaker 2: They stayed in ABC and that was it. Now, how
- 11:05Speaker 2: does this negatively impact gas? It does it quite a bit. Yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 2: that's why we're seeing four and six. But the messaging
- 11:12Speaker 2: on that.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Terrible, terrible.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Here's where we lose. You show the body bags. You say,
- 11:17Speaker 2: would you like this to be your children? You say,
- 11:19Speaker 2: what if this was Palestine? You play to the party
- 11:22Speaker 2: that's going to freak because nobody freaked about the body
- 11:25Speaker 2: bags in Iran, which was 10,000 times worse than what
- 11:29Speaker 2: we're seeing in our free Gaza moment, right? Free Palestine,
- 11:33Speaker 2: all those other morons. But putting that to the side,
- 11:36Speaker 2: if we actually talked about the fact that, hey, our refineries,
- 11:39Speaker 2: we don't have enough of them. The ones we have
- 11:41Speaker 2: need a lot of upgrades. the permitting on public properties
- 11:44Speaker 2: and lands. We don't have that either.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Why?
- 11:46Speaker 2: Because it's staled underneath everything that happened with Obama and Biden.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Most of what's happening happens in the private sector. So
- 11:53Speaker 2: if we were able to use our clean energy hydrofracking
- 11:57Speaker 2: capabilities that's already happening in the shale, in the Bakken,
- 12:01Speaker 2: all across various parts of New York, despite the fact
- 12:03Speaker 2: that Cuomo and Hochul shut it down, then we would
- 12:06Speaker 2: be able to redirect that $ 4 and $ 6 anger. But
- 12:10Speaker 2: do we do that?
- 12:11Speaker 5: No.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Are people aware of permitting? Do they know anything about
- 12:14Speaker 2: public and private sector lands?
- 12:16Speaker 5: No.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Do they know that we have the cleanest energy here
- 12:19Speaker 2: and that we would be able to hydrofrack natural gas
- 12:22Speaker 2: and oil?
- 12:23Speaker 3: No, they know nothing.
- 12:25Speaker 2: And why? Because Mike Johnson and John Thune needed to
- 12:29Speaker 2: take a vacation, period, end of sentence. The messaging and
- 12:34Speaker 2: the way that they did it and the fact that
- 12:36Speaker 2: they were like, the economy's booming. If I heard one
- 12:39Speaker 2: more report about the 10-year yield, the five-year yield. We're
- 12:42Speaker 2: going to fix the mortgage rates. Don't worry. Your 401k
- 12:45Speaker 2: is going to come back. We're going to make Medicare
- 12:46Speaker 2: more affordable. I'm like, you guys talk about fraud all
- 12:49Speaker 2: day long.
- 12:50Speaker 3: I love it. Great.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Could you arrest somebody? Could someone please go to jail?
- 12:55Speaker 2: We know that Ilhan Omar married her brother. No one's confused.
- 13:00Speaker 2: It's like, could we? No, they can't. They can't do anything.
- 13:03Speaker 4: And that's not improving the daily life of anybody, right?
- 13:06Speaker 4: I mean, I think I remember when Scott Besant gave
- 13:08Speaker 4: this long interview, I think maybe to Tucker Carlson when
- 13:11Speaker 4: they first took over. And he cited these stats and
- 13:14Speaker 4: he cited how more Americans than ever under the Biden
- 13:17Speaker 4: administration took European vacations, but also more Americans than ever
- 13:21Speaker 4: used food pantries. And he was speaking to this bifurcated existence, right?
- 13:25Speaker 4: So it's really good for the people that invest in
- 13:27Speaker 4: the market, but it's really expensive and really bad for
- 13:29Speaker 4: the people that weren't. And so, you know, they wanted
- 13:32Speaker 4: to do something for the people that weren't. And I
- 13:34Speaker 4: just don't think they did. And I think that, you know,
- 13:36Speaker 4: at the end of the day, those people are going to,
- 13:38Speaker 4: you know, I don't think New Yorkers chose socialism when
- 13:40Speaker 4: they elected Mamdani. I think they just wanted something other
- 13:42Speaker 4: than what they were experiencing.
- 13:43Speaker 2: They were voting against.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 2: They were voting against, not for.
- 13:47Speaker 4: So I don't think, you know, that you mentioned like Marxism, communism.
- 13:50Speaker 4: I don't think people voted for James Tallarico, voted for
- 13:54Speaker 4: Abdul El-Sayed.
- 13:55Speaker 3: I don't think they voted for the Marxism movement.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Or DSA stuff, but they just think they voted against
- 14:00Speaker 4: the fact their life hasn't gotten better under this administration.
- 14:02Speaker 4: And that's what, you know, that's what they chose.
- 14:04Speaker 2: And I think, you know, to that point, I had
- 14:07Speaker 2: talked to you a little earlier. So Victor Davis Hanson,
- 14:09Speaker 2: who's a genius, and he was talking about what the
- 14:12Speaker 2: balance of these two years will be, right? Because the
- 14:15Speaker 2: conversation now is we're going to have Trump with, you know,
- 14:18Speaker 2: Democrats galore. They're already, I mean, Raskin was out this
- 14:22Speaker 2: morning talking about his impeachment list, not about how he
- 14:26Speaker 2: was going to make your life better, not about how
- 14:29Speaker 2: he wanted to work on affordability, housing, food prices, or
- 14:31Speaker 2: gas prices. He's like, this is my list of impeachment.
- 14:36Speaker 2: So it's not even, we haven't even fully woken up yet, right,
- 14:41Speaker 2: from the bloodbath. And he's just like, yep, I'm going
- 14:43Speaker 2: to scrub, scrub, scrub in here, baby. I'm going to
- 14:45Speaker 2: sit here all day long and I'm going to get
- 14:48Speaker 2: all these people out of office because that's what he
- 14:50Speaker 2: cares about. So Victor Davis Hanson wrote this, and I
- 14:52Speaker 2: thought it was very interesting, where he said, Clinton fell
- 14:55Speaker 2: to 37% approval, but when he left office, He was
- 14:58Speaker 2: at 66. In between, he was impeached, not convicted, bombed
- 15:03Speaker 2: Serbia for 78 days without congressional approval. Obama's approval fell
- 15:08Speaker 2: to 38%. He left office at 60. He bombed Libya
- 15:11Speaker 2: in 2011 without Congress, ran hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and Somalia, and started bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria
- 15:19Speaker 2: in 2014 without a new vote. And what did he say?
- 15:22Speaker 2: I have a pen and I have a phone. These
- 15:25Speaker 2: are all things that we could have used when we
- 15:27Speaker 2: were running our Republican candidates. But did we use any
- 15:30Speaker 2: of it? No, because we don't have smart people like
- 15:33Speaker 2: VDH running. We really don't.
- 15:36Speaker 4: No, I think they're going to have to do a
- 15:37Speaker 4: lot of stuff with the administrative state and the executive order.
- 15:40Speaker 3: The good news is I think they've got a head
- 15:41Speaker 3: start on that.
- 15:42Speaker 4: So stuff like the post office and are they going
- 15:44Speaker 4: to have rules about, you.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Know, mail-in ballots for them?
- 15:46Speaker 4: You know, the DHS and DOJ are going to have grants.
- 15:50Speaker 4: They're going to withhold from states unless they enact reform.
- 15:52Speaker 4: So there are still a lot of things they can
- 15:53Speaker 4: do to your point.
- 15:54Speaker 3: And yeah, absolutely. He's still the president.
- 15:56Speaker 4: And I do think, yeah, we talked about Jamie Raskin. And,
- 15:59Speaker 4: you know, his quote is Donald Trump has 50 percent
- 16:02Speaker 4: of the impeachments in American history. And, you know, so
- 16:05Speaker 4: will we impeach him a third time? We're not afraid
- 16:07Speaker 4: to do it. The guy that's going to be in
- 16:08Speaker 4: charge of the Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia from California, he's
- 16:12Speaker 4: only been in the House since 2022. He took his
- 16:15Speaker 4: oath of office, Linda, on a constitution and a comic book. So,
- 16:18Speaker 4: you know, it's an interesting character. So we're about to,
- 16:21Speaker 4: I think when we're about to learn more about who
- 16:22Speaker 4: the Democrats have in charge and Republicans are starting to
- 16:24Speaker 4: look a little bit better, that'll be a thing that
- 16:26Speaker 4: helps them moving forward as well.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yes.
- 16:28Speaker 2: And before we get to some of our cuts today,
- 16:29Speaker 2: you know, I just want to point out One of
- 16:33Speaker 2: the main sticking points, and I know I felt this way, right?
- 16:35Speaker 2: Because I was a disgruntled Republican because I would consider myself,
- 16:40Speaker 2: I'm issue-based, right? I am an issue-based person all day long,
- 16:45Speaker 2: but I'm overly informed. I'm going to read the New
- 16:47Speaker 2: York Times. I'm going to read the Wall Street Journal.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I'm going to read Washington Free Beacon. I'm going to
- 16:51Speaker 2: read the Government Accountability Institute and all of the great
- 16:55Speaker 2: research they do. I am going to read everything. But
- 16:59Speaker 2: when I talk to my hairdresser, my friend who's at
- 17:02Speaker 2: the checkout counter at the grocery store, they're not reading
- 17:05Speaker 2: any of that shit. They're watching their local news. They've
- 17:08Speaker 2: got their local coverage. And that's where they're getting the
- 17:11Speaker 2: little bits of information that they have. So then when
- 17:14Speaker 2: we talk about all of these things, you realize it's
- 17:18Speaker 2: not just messaging. It's reach. How are you reaching people?
- 17:21Speaker 2: How are you talking to people? And it's gotten so divisive.
- 17:24Speaker 2: People aren't talking. Like you're at your kid's games. People
- 17:28Speaker 2: don't want to talk about politics.
- 17:30Speaker 3: It's true.
- 17:30Speaker 2: They get really weird about it. So where you could
- 17:33Speaker 2: share with somebody, hey, Angie Nixon, she's crazy. Do you
- 17:37Speaker 2: want to know why? Let me tell you, you know, like,
- 17:40Speaker 2: and you could play a soundbite or you could tell
- 17:42Speaker 2: them and they're like, I don't want to hear about it.
- 17:43Speaker 2: So that whole like community thing, it's become problematic. And
- 17:48Speaker 2: so when you talk, when you see like Brandon Gilwin, right?
- 17:52Speaker 2: Like it's a great moment, but there is some oddity
- 17:55Speaker 2: to the fact that where he won, then Tallarico wins.
- 17:59Speaker 2: And I'm like, how did you vote for Brandon Gill
- 18:01Speaker 2: and Tallarico?
- 18:03Speaker 4: Well, again, I think, so consider this, you mentioned Angie Nixon,
- 18:06Speaker 4: she's the DSA candidate in Florida. So we also had
- 18:10Speaker 4: in Florida, an amendment, a constitutional amendment that would have
- 18:14Speaker 4: dramatically lowered property taxes on primary homes. And the way
- 18:18Speaker 4: stuff in Florida works is it has to pass by 60%
- 18:20Speaker 4: to become a constitutional amendment.
- 18:22Speaker 3: And it passed.
- 18:23Speaker 4: So, but meanwhile, the, her The Angie Nixon Senate opponent,
- 18:28Speaker 4: Ashley Moody, who's in the Senate now, only got 50%
- 18:30Speaker 4: of the vote, meaning people voted for a DSA candidate
- 18:34Speaker 4: and voted for property tax relief. I just think people
- 18:37Speaker 4: vote in their pocketbook. And so to your point, I
- 18:39Speaker 4: think we got a clip of Brandon Gill. He outperformed Tallarico.
- 18:43Speaker 4: He outperformed Ken Paxton by 30 points because the guy's dynamic.
- 18:47Speaker 4: He's energetic.
- 18:48Speaker 3: He's a good speaker. And no, I think it's good.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Like, yeah, get rid of the chaff, get rid of
- 18:53Speaker 4: the people who are there because they're just like kind
- 18:55Speaker 4: of Trump acolytes or whatever it is. Have people with
- 18:58Speaker 4: actual perspective, actual brains, you know, Abdul-Aziz. For all the
- 19:02Speaker 4: things that are wrong with Abdul-Aziz, he's.
- 19:04Speaker 3: An excellent communicator.
- 19:05Speaker 4: And his perspective is actually on certain issues is in
- 19:08Speaker 4: line with where most Americans are on things.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Yeah, because he lies. He's like, I'm a doctor.
- 19:14Speaker 3: It's like.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I mean, really. He's like, I'm a doctor. I'm like, no,
- 19:18Speaker 2: you're not. He's like, Medicare for all. I'm like, your
- 19:20Speaker 2: wife doesn't accept it at our practice. He's like, I
- 19:23Speaker 2: am not friends with the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm like, your
- 19:25Speaker 2: mom and your sister are. Oh, and by the way,
- 19:27Speaker 2: when you went up to give your speech last night,
- 19:29Speaker 2: you spoke in Arabic for 10 minutes and introduced yourself
- 19:32Speaker 2: by your Islamic name. So.
- 19:36Speaker 3: All right.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Let's play Brandon Gill first because he makes me happy.
- 19:39Speaker 2: And then we'll play Abdul the Dog Killer because I
- 19:41Speaker 2: hate him.
- 19:45Speaker 6: And I don't know about you, but I am so
- 19:49Speaker 6: sick of Democrats trying to sell my country to foreigners.
- 20:21Speaker 3: You know where they didn't chant USA?
- 20:26Speaker 2: Tell me.
- 20:27Speaker 3: At the Abdul Alsaid rally.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Now, this is the polar opposite of USA.
- 20:41Speaker 5: My name is Abdulrahman Muhammad Al Sayed. And I am
- 20:52Speaker 5: so proud and honored to stand here as your senator-elect
- 20:57Speaker 5: from the great state of Michigan. Up until right about now,
- 21:05Speaker 5: you might have noticed I always say, inshallah, or God willing,
- 21:09Speaker 5: whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned. But today, tonight,
- 21:14Speaker 5: we can turn that inshallah into a alhamdulillah.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:27Speaker 2: So real quick, he can now get foreign intelligence information,
- 21:32Speaker 2: pass it on to his mom and sister. They can
- 21:34Speaker 2: give it to the Muslim Brotherhood. Oh, and by the way,
- 21:36Speaker 2: little fun fact, All of the staff that works for
- 21:40Speaker 2: all of our representatives, whether they serve in the House
- 21:42Speaker 2: or the Senate, go through no vetting process. Absolutely none.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Is that right? Yes. Wow. Zero.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Big fat zero. So now any psycho that wants to
- 21:55Speaker 2: come and support, you know, candidate phlegm can come on
- 21:59Speaker 2: in and join. And nobody can do a damn thing
- 22:03Speaker 2: about it. You look at the people that work for
- 22:06Speaker 2: people like Jayapal or Ilhan Omar, or even if you,
- 22:11Speaker 2: even if you look at a Garcia, you know, or
- 22:14Speaker 2: people that worked at HHS under Becerra, these are not
- 22:17Speaker 2: people that went through screening. You know what else I
- 22:19Speaker 2: found out yesterday? A friend of mine was joking around
- 22:22Speaker 2: with me when I was in the office and they
- 22:24Speaker 2: were like, you know what, Linda, I'm going to nominate
- 22:25Speaker 2: you to be a judge in New York. I was like, uh,
- 22:29Speaker 2: I don't see how I could be a judge in
- 22:30Speaker 2: New York.
- 22:32Speaker 4: You do not have to be a lawyer to be
- 22:33Speaker 4: a judge.
- 22:34Speaker 3: I did know that.
- 22:35Speaker 2: You need no experience. Do you want to know what
- 22:37Speaker 2: the requirement is to be a judge in New York?
- 22:41Speaker 2: You go through a training module. Hands of God, true story.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Go through a training module. You get a certificate and
- 22:50Speaker 2: then you're judged. So I could be Judge Linda, right?
- 22:53Speaker 2: And I could sit on a bench and be like,
- 22:54Speaker 2: I don't like you. I don't need to know why.
- 22:57Speaker 2: I don't need to cite USC code, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 23:01Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. And that's a real thing. And I'm like, ah,
- 23:07Speaker 2: I mean, to me, I have to say, like, I
- 23:10Speaker 2: was shocked. And I thought, man, I have really taken
- 23:12Speaker 2: this for granted. I thought you had to have some
- 23:17Speaker 2: kind of background in the law to enforce it, to
- 23:22Speaker 2: understand it. How do you put someone in jail or
- 23:26Speaker 2: keep them out of jail? if you don't know the law?
- 23:31Speaker 3: I mean, these are difficult questions.
- 23:35Speaker 4: The good news, somebody told me, hey, the good news
- 23:37Speaker 4: is if you're having marital problems, you won't have too
- 23:40Speaker 4: many problems with your wife anymore because we're about to
- 23:42Speaker 4: have Sharia law.
- 23:43Speaker 3: So she won't be able to talk, you know? That's right.
- 23:44Speaker 2: We're just going to club her and she's going to
- 23:47Speaker 2: like it. She's going to like it. We're just going
- 23:48Speaker 2: to put her in some really nice high thread count
- 23:51Speaker 2: black sheets, give her a little slit so she doesn't
- 23:53Speaker 2: fall down and we'll keep it moving. That's a real thing.
- 23:56Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. How many people did not
- 23:58Speaker 2: know about Sharia law? Like what is happening? And then
- 24:01Speaker 2: we got this giant, um, statue of a Hindu God
- 24:05Speaker 2: in Texas. I mean, the thing is like a hundred
- 24:08Speaker 2: feet tall or something. I'm like, guys, what, what are you,
- 24:12Speaker 2: if you love it so much, stay there. I don't
- 24:14Speaker 2: get it.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Hey, speaking of that, what the hell's going on in Texas?
- 24:17Speaker 4: How like, cause it's not just the Tallarico one, but
- 24:19Speaker 4: he won by like a lot.
- 24:21Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't close.
- 24:22Speaker 4: It was a significant, like a million more votes. I
- 24:24Speaker 4: want to say maybe like eight to nine points.
- 24:26Speaker 2: And most of them came from Austin.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Is that right?
- 24:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Yes.
- 24:31Speaker 2: So when we look at where the votes come from
- 24:35Speaker 2: and we look at where we see discrepancies in other places,
- 24:39Speaker 2: and then we hear, well, we might not know for
- 24:41Speaker 2: a few days. And I, listen, Paxton is a flawed candidate.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 24:47Speaker 2: This is not up for discussion. It just is. Here's
- 24:51Speaker 2: the thing, though. While he is a terrible candidate, he
- 24:55Speaker 2: was the attorney general. And if you look at his
- 24:58Speaker 2: record as attorney general, it's fantastic.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I mean, it's powerful. And I'm like, why are you
- 25:05Speaker 2: talking about that? And he was not dynamic. And he wasn't.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I mean, these are the things, right? Or even Hinojosa,
- 25:14Speaker 2: who won over Greg Abbott. Now, I have to say,
- 25:16Speaker 2: I was very surprised by that.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
- 25:21Speaker 2: I yesterday we were looking at early exit numbers and,
- 25:25Speaker 2: you know, looking at some of the polling throughout the day.
- 25:28Speaker 2: And I would say the name recognition alone for Hinojosa,
- 25:32Speaker 2: nobody even knew who she was.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Dude, Keisha Lance Bottoms won by like 10 and I mean,
- 25:37Speaker 4: won by a ton in.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Georgia, too. So that's what I mean.
- 25:40Speaker 4: It's really surprising to see these states that I would
- 25:43Speaker 4: say I would consider them to be culturally conservative. But
- 25:46Speaker 4: to see the election results, I mean, it just shows
- 25:48Speaker 4: you how challenging the environment and also, I think, a
- 25:50Speaker 4: combination of the environment and then bad candidates, bad environment,
- 25:54Speaker 4: like major butt whoopings by Democrats.
- 25:57Speaker 2: I would also say, and this is not something that is,
- 26:02Speaker 2: I believe, it has not been remedied since 2020, is
- 26:06Speaker 2: our election system is ridiculous. I'm telling you, the turnout
- 26:12Speaker 2: for this election was insane. Like I went and voted
- 26:15Speaker 2: yesterday morning. I always vote election day. I'm not an
- 26:18Speaker 2: early voter. Never have been, never will be. I'm there
- 26:21Speaker 2: day of. I think it should be a national holiday.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I think everybody should get to go and that should
- 26:25Speaker 2: be that. But I went, I had to wait in
- 26:28Speaker 2: line to park because there was no parking left. I
- 26:31Speaker 2: was like, dang, I was like, okay, these people are
- 26:34Speaker 2: at it. And you know, I was with the working people, right?
- 26:38Speaker 2: And the one thing I noticed when I go in,
- 26:40Speaker 2: because we're all there in the morning, because we still
- 26:41Speaker 2: have to go to work, which is fine. is you
- 26:44Speaker 2: can tell right away who the liberals are and who
- 26:47Speaker 2: the Republicans are, right? Republicans are dressed, their clothes match,
- 26:50Speaker 2: their hair is a normal color, and they've showered that day.
- 26:53Speaker 2: It happened in the morning or the previous night, but
- 26:55Speaker 2: they've showered. And then there is a collection of people
- 26:58Speaker 2: who are like the misfit toys, right? Nothing matches. They're
- 27:01Speaker 2: out of shape. Clothes are not covering where they should.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Hair is like a variety of colors, whatever was in
- 27:06Speaker 2: the rainbow bottle. I don't freaking know. And I'm like,
- 27:10Speaker 2: It's so upsetting because I'm looking at these people. I'm going, God,
- 27:12Speaker 2: whatever they vote for is going to cancel me out.
- 27:15Speaker 2: And it sucks because I'm here voting for somebody like
- 27:18Speaker 2: you're yelling about shit. That's not true. I want my rights.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I want my, I want my abortions and they can't get.
- 27:24Speaker 2: And like, that's all fake news. Like everybody knows it's
- 27:26Speaker 2: not true, but I am care. I care about real stuff.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I don't want you reading drag story hour to my kid.
- 27:33Speaker 2: You know, I don't want you taking away my second amendment. Like,
- 27:36Speaker 2: That's the shit that they're actually working towards. Those are
- 27:40Speaker 2: real fears. And you think it's okay for people to
- 27:43Speaker 2: have mosques in their houses and employ Sharia law or
- 27:48Speaker 2: putting foot baths in public arenas. I'm like, oh, really?
- 27:51Speaker 2: So you think that's okay? So should I bring the
- 27:52Speaker 2: Torah too and the Bible? Like the lack of awareness
- 27:58Speaker 2: to me is the most frustrating part. And I know
- 28:00Speaker 2: I get on my soapbox about this shit. Let's listen
- 28:02Speaker 2: to Ron DeSantis, shall we? The one governor who had
- 28:05Speaker 2: his shit together.
- 28:08Speaker 6: Last night, we witnessed, to call it a wave, I
- 28:12Speaker 6: don't think would be fully accurate. It's the political equivalent
- 28:15Speaker 6: of a meteor strike that went all around the United States,
- 28:19Speaker 6: blue states, red states, everything in between. And the one
- 28:23Speaker 6: state that was able to hold the line and withstand
- 28:26Speaker 6: that is right here in the free state of Florida.
- 28:30Speaker 6: All statewide races, U.S. Senate, governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer,
- 28:37Speaker 6: and Agriculture Commissioner were held and won by our Republican candidates.
- 28:44Speaker 6: And I don't think there's any other state that can
- 28:46Speaker 6: say that, given all the carnage that was inflicted last night.
- 28:50Speaker 6: We also saw the passage of Amendment 3, which is
- 28:53Speaker 6: the beginning of our property tax elimination efforts in the
- 28:56Speaker 6: state of Florida. I got a resounding yes vote, and
- 28:59Speaker 6: I'm very proud of everyone that had been a part
- 29:01Speaker 6: of that. And I know that that's something that's very
- 29:03Speaker 6: meaningful for a lot of Floridians.
- 29:07Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, you know, scoreboard, the problem is,
- 29:12Speaker 4: is he sounds like a dang financial planner talking about
- 29:15Speaker 4: your portfolio after like a down market cycle, instead of
- 29:19Speaker 4: like a politician that's just, you know, who, I mean, that's,
- 29:23Speaker 4: it's true.
- 29:23Speaker 3: His legacy is amazing. He's the big winner.
- 29:25Speaker 4: He got all four cabinet races stayed the same, but,
- 29:29Speaker 4: It was close. And it's almost like, it's like we
- 29:31Speaker 4: are a house as the state of Florida that was
- 29:34Speaker 4: on the coast, but we set back like 50 feet
- 29:36Speaker 4: and the wave came 45 feet in because it was
- 29:40Speaker 4: much closer than it should have been. I have a
- 29:43Speaker 4: good friend who's very influential. She works in politics. And
- 29:47Speaker 4: they were very concerned. Like they said, we need like
- 29:50Speaker 4: 1.2 million Republicans to show up day of and the
- 29:53Speaker 4: most they normally ever get on a day of like 975.
- 29:55Speaker 4: So Republicans showed up. Republicans held on in Florida. But
- 29:59Speaker 4: it was incredibly close. And if it's close in Florida,
- 30:02Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, it's close in Florida. The waves swept
- 30:04Speaker 4: up Georgia, waves swept up Texas. But absolutely, I mean,
- 30:08Speaker 4: that's a compelling argument. I think that's a winning argument.
- 30:10Speaker 4: But my man's going to have to work on the
- 30:13Speaker 4: soft skills a little bit.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I mean, Ron DeSantis is not for the faint of heart.
- 30:19Speaker 2: He does not give one shit about your feelings. He
- 30:22Speaker 2: is here to work and he is here to get
- 30:25Speaker 2: it done. And I do appreciate that every day, all day.
- 30:28Speaker 2: He's a no-nonsense guy. I kind of love that. But
- 30:32Speaker 2: I will say the shenanigans that went on in other states,
- 30:35Speaker 2: he's very good about election integrity in Florida.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Bro, I went to vote yesterday and And I was
- 30:41Speaker 4: on my way to go vote, and I realized I
- 30:43Speaker 4: didn't have my wallet. So I didn't have my ID.
- 30:46Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, I got to go home.
- 30:47Speaker 4: So I went home, grabbed my ID, came back and
- 30:49Speaker 4: they asked me like, do you have an ID?
- 30:50Speaker 3: And I did.
- 30:51Speaker 4: And then here's the craziest part. Three African-American people showed
- 30:54Speaker 4: up like right behind me. And they also, believe it
- 30:58Speaker 4: or not, produced an ID. And they were able to
- 31:00Speaker 4: cast ballots because they and I wanted like, dude, can
- 31:02Speaker 4: I get your picture? Because I'm told that you are
- 31:05Speaker 4: like a civil rights icon. You have you have mustered courage.
- 31:08Speaker 4: You've overcome obstacles. I don't know how you did it.
- 31:11Speaker 4: But I would love to prove to people that it
- 31:14Speaker 4: is possible for minorities to actually have an ID and
- 31:17Speaker 4: then cast ballots. And, you know, because that's always the
- 31:19Speaker 4: argument that you hear.
- 31:20Speaker 2: And the married women that showed up with different last names.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Crushing life.
- 31:25Speaker 4: That's actually, that's the point that we should make. I
- 31:26Speaker 4: guess it wasn't too hard for married women to vote
- 31:28Speaker 4: last night.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Yeah. Because they got in there, man.
- 31:31Speaker 2: They were like, hey. Married and voting, right here.
- 31:33Speaker 4: But it's absolutely true. And, you know, you talk about
- 31:35Speaker 4: Republicans squandering things. I mean, Republicans have been in charge
- 31:39Speaker 4: of both Texas and Georgia.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Yep.
- 31:41Speaker 4: And I know Ken Paxson has prosecuted some cases of
- 31:44Speaker 4: voter fraud.
- 31:44Speaker 2: He has.
- 31:45Speaker 3: But Georgia has been terrible.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Terrible.
- 31:47Speaker 3: About, like, their lax election laws. Raffensperger and Kemp.
- 31:51Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 2: They could care less.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Terrible.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Kemp was a god-awful governor. And Raffensperger as a Secretary
- 31:58Speaker 2: of State, god-awful.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Terrible. I literally.
- 32:01Speaker 4: Listen, I have a friend who works in data science
- 32:04Speaker 4: and they sell data science to states. And he told
- 32:08Speaker 4: me how when Brian Kemp was Secretary of State, he
- 32:10Speaker 4: presented them with lots of data science about Georgia. And
- 32:14Speaker 4: he's like, here's a bunch of different registrations. There are
- 32:16Speaker 4: places that aren't houses. They're all at the same place.
- 32:18Speaker 4: There's lots of problems. And you could do something with it.
- 32:22Speaker 4: And they literally said, please stop giving.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Us this information.
- 32:25Speaker 2: No, thank you. We did the same thing. I mean,
- 32:27Speaker 2: I have friends that also work in data integrity issues
- 32:31Speaker 2: and data recovery. And they also tried to give it
- 32:33Speaker 2: to the state of Georgia and some other states and Arizona, Maricopa.
- 32:39Speaker 2: And they were not interested at all because being interested
- 32:43Speaker 2: in truth means actually admitting that you're lying and who
- 32:46Speaker 2: wants to do that. And I think if we look
- 32:49Speaker 2: at other states outside of Florida and we look at
- 32:53Speaker 2: the amount of fraud that we were seeing, like in California,
- 32:56Speaker 2: we had ballots on the side of the road. We
- 32:58Speaker 2: had ballots being sent that were opened. There were people
- 33:01Speaker 2: reporting yesterday that they showed up to vote and somebody
- 33:03Speaker 2: else already voted in their name.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:05Speaker 2: And I was like, what the hell? They're not matching.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Not only are they not taking IDs, they're not matching signatures.
- 33:11Speaker 2: They're not doing anything.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:13Speaker 2: So you have this massive issue. And I said it
- 33:15Speaker 2: to my husband this morning and he made the perfect analogy.
- 33:18Speaker 2: He said, yeah, he said, it's like they put 15
- 33:19Speaker 2: guys on the field for the play and they said, oh,
- 33:22Speaker 2: you got too many guys on the field, but let's
- 33:23Speaker 2: run the play anyway.
- 33:24Speaker 3: What the hell?
- 33:26Speaker 2: Let's just do it anyway.
- 33:27Speaker 3: What's the worst that could happen?
- 33:28Speaker 2: We knew that we had a Dan Sullivan that wasn't
- 33:30Speaker 2: the Dan Sullivan on Alaska. And to that point, I
- 33:34Speaker 2: have a clip here of this Alaska race. Take a
- 33:35Speaker 2: look at this. This is a very interesting statistic. So
- 33:39Speaker 2: if you look at this, Alaska race separated by 626 votes.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Decoy Dan has 3,500 plus. So you only need 630.
- 33:43Speaker 2: He's got 3,500 that were intended for Dan Sullivan. You
- 33:53Speaker 2: know that that's what happened. And yet they're calling her
- 33:56Speaker 2: the winner.
- 33:58Speaker 3: No, it's insane. How does that work?
- 34:00Speaker 4: My favorite part about that is the lawyer, Mark Elias,
- 34:04Speaker 4: who sues states who are trying to make their elections
- 34:07Speaker 4: more secure, and he sues states to keep them from
- 34:09Speaker 4: enacting common sense election integrity reforms, is working with the
- 34:14Speaker 4: Peltola campaign. and working with the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee.
- 34:18Speaker 4: So someone who claims to try to stop people from
- 34:22Speaker 4: disenfranchising voters and messing with democracy literally participated in, I think,
- 34:26Speaker 4: the defrauding of an election in this state.
- 34:29Speaker 2: And if you look at the people who stayed home,
- 34:32Speaker 2: this is, every red line, the percentage that were down
- 34:35Speaker 2: in all of those states that mattered. And then some.
- 34:38Speaker 2: I mean, this is only a handful of them. But
- 34:40Speaker 2: you look at who showed up, and you look at
- 34:42Speaker 2: who stayed home, and it's not hard. You know, people
- 34:45Speaker 2: were so disenfranchised. They were disillusioned. They were mad.
- 34:49Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. You should put that back up
- 34:51Speaker 3: if you can. Yeah, you got it. Because what it
- 34:53Speaker 3: does is that it flies against, I just read this
- 34:56Speaker 3: mini novel by J.D. Vance.
- 34:59Speaker 4: About like what he thinks happened last night and his
- 35:01Speaker 4: thing was he said that their voters showed up but
- 35:04Speaker 4: they voted for democrats this data suggests that maybe that's
- 35:06Speaker 4: not entirely true he's trying to kind of own uh
- 35:09Speaker 4: and understand the you know the outcome as they listen
- 35:12Speaker 4: we understand he said four things that people were upset
- 35:14Speaker 4: about yeah war our relationship with israel uh the cost
- 35:18Speaker 4: of gas and uh i think overall affordability things and
- 35:23Speaker 4: you know but But if this is true, then I
- 35:25Speaker 4: think people need to understand that this is a different perspective.
- 35:27Speaker 4: That's a different data point than what J.D. Vance's long
- 35:30Speaker 4: mini novel was about.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that J.D. Vance is wrong. And I
- 35:34Speaker 2: think J.D. Vance is wrong about most things, full disclosure.
- 35:37Speaker 2: And I've said that about him since he was a
- 35:39Speaker 2: senator from Ohio and wore wingtips to the East Palestine
- 35:43Speaker 2: train site where it was polluting the water. And he
- 35:46Speaker 2: was like, hey, how's everybody doing? We suck. Thanks for
- 35:49Speaker 2: showing up.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Hey, shout out to you for correctly pronouncing Palestine.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Good job.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Oh, I know.
- 35:53Speaker 2: People get really pissed off about that. But I learned
- 35:57Speaker 2: from the locals there, like, it's not Palestine. I'm like,
- 35:59Speaker 2: don't worry. I have no desire to say Palestine. You're fine.
- 36:01Speaker 2: But I think, you know, those are the situations when
- 36:04Speaker 2: you're talking about what our side of the aisle is doing.
- 36:09Speaker 2: The messaging is all wrong. We didn't have it right
- 36:12Speaker 2: from the beginning. And we didn't talk to them about
- 36:14Speaker 2: the things that mattered. They weren't upset about voting for
- 36:19Speaker 2: the candidate. They were voting against. That's what they needed
- 36:22Speaker 2: to get out. If you don't like your candidate, like
- 36:25Speaker 2: my congressman is Brian Fitzpatrick. He sucks. He is the
- 36:30Speaker 2: absolute worst congressman on the face of the earth. And
- 36:33Speaker 2: he's like, I fought in the Iraq war. I'm like,
- 36:34Speaker 2: you suck. Thank you for your service. You still suck.
- 36:38Speaker 2: You voted for Haiti. You voted for Ukraine. You vote
- 36:40Speaker 2: like a Democrat. Go be a Democrat.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Which is funny because he gets credit for being like
- 36:45Speaker 4: the head of some like common sense caucus or problem
- 36:47Speaker 4: solvers caucus or whatever it is, right?
- 36:49Speaker 3: Like, He's another one.
- 36:51Speaker 2: He's the Mike Lawler of Pennsylvania, right?
- 36:54Speaker 5: Right.
- 36:54Speaker 2: These are the people. They go out and you try
- 36:57Speaker 2: to talk to them and you're like, you're voting against
- 36:59Speaker 2: the party. Could you please stop? It is frustrating. And
- 37:02Speaker 2: I will say, this is my final note of today
- 37:05Speaker 2: for us. This is Buck Sexton, our buddy. He put
- 37:08Speaker 2: this up this morning and I was like, brah. I'm
- 37:11Speaker 2: going to read it for those of you that are listening,
- 37:13Speaker 2: not watching. Buck Sexton writes, Texas just gave a Senate
- 37:16Speaker 2: seat to a sexually ambiguous anti-meat communist who needs 14
- 37:21Speaker 2: days of solitude to recover from a sniffle. Pretty much
- 37:25Speaker 2: sums up the whole night. And I was like, thank you, sir.
- 37:28Speaker 2: That's what happened. These are the people who we used
- 37:31Speaker 2: to make fun of and say they have to go
- 37:32Speaker 2: in a corner and get cocoa and warm blankets because
- 37:36Speaker 2: they need time to reflect on their feelings. And I
- 37:38Speaker 2: was like, you know, when the communists come to your door,
- 37:41Speaker 2: Make sure you got a real man or a tough
- 37:44Speaker 2: broad with their gun ready because you're not ready at all.
- 37:49Speaker 4: So what happened? I mean, so that's a wonderful encapsulation
- 37:52Speaker 4: of it. Here's the other thing just to put a
- 37:54Speaker 4: data point to it. So only five times since 1990
- 37:59Speaker 4: had a Senate seat flipped two years after the opposing
- 38:04Speaker 4: presidential candidate won it, right?
- 38:06Speaker 2: So- Say that again.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 38:08Speaker 4: So if a Republican won the state, Or Denver, either way.
- 38:13Speaker 4: But the example is if a Republican had won the
- 38:15Speaker 4: state only five times since 1990, would a Democrat have
- 38:20Speaker 4: then won that Senate seat two years later? So it's
- 38:23Speaker 4: only flipped five times in the last 36 years.
- 38:26Speaker 3: It happened five times last night.
- 38:28Speaker 2: And I have to say, the candidates that flipped are
- 38:32Speaker 2: the candidates that you and I have been talking about
- 38:35Speaker 2: have been getting the most media time. They are everywhere.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Everybody knew Syed's name. Everybody knew Tallarico's name. Everybody knew
- 38:45Speaker 2: Angie Nixon's name. I was surprised that she didn't beat
- 38:47Speaker 2: Ashley Moody. I got to be honest. I was worried
- 38:49Speaker 2: for Ashley.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 2: I was like, you know, because they had her everywhere
- 38:54Speaker 2: and they were trumping her out. And I'm like, oh,
- 38:55Speaker 2: it's going to be bad. And she was really, I mean,
- 38:58Speaker 2: God forgive me, but she was really dumb. Like it
- 39:00Speaker 2: was painful.
- 39:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:01Speaker 4: Yeah, it would have been shocking when the first, it
- 39:06Speaker 4: was 48% of the vote was in, and I think
- 39:08Speaker 4: she was up by five, and I couldn't believe it.
- 39:09Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, Republican operatives in Florida were really worried.
- 39:12Speaker 3: They were at work.
- 39:13Speaker 4: And it was only because of the game day, the
- 39:16Speaker 4: election day voting that showed up that it swung up.
- 39:18Speaker 4: But Florida could have looked like the rest of the
- 39:20Speaker 4: dang country. So shout out to Ronnie D and the
- 39:25Speaker 4: Republicans of Florida. It's the free state of Florida. I
- 39:27Speaker 4: saw a tweet and said, if you had a house
- 39:29Speaker 4: worth 50 bucks in Florida before, it's now worth a million.
- 39:32Speaker 4: So it's about to get prime real estate.
- 39:35Speaker 2: I'm ready to live in the Frigidaire on the corner
- 39:37Speaker 2: of your block. I'm like, I'm all set. Oh my God. Well,
- 39:40Speaker 2: thank you everybody for joining us today. We hope that
- 39:42Speaker 2: you have enjoyed this post-election episode of Sound Bites. I
- 39:46Speaker 2: am Linda McLaughlin. He is Eric Eggers, at Eric underscore Eggers,
