- 0:01Speaker 1: A M eight sixty. The answer Tampa, Florida and some Zeppelin,
- 0:06Speaker 1: just like Mike.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Likes it Zeppelin motion.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Sure, yes, yes, yes, this should be the soundtrack that
- 0:13Speaker 1: you're like, you're just a little younger than me.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Should be your soundtrack too. To a degree, I was
- 0:17Speaker 2: hoping for Twister's sister.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Yes, we're not gonna take it. Well, listen, maybe maybe
- 0:25Speaker 1: I can give you a barometer on what awaits you
- 0:28Speaker 1: on your show.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Nobody.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that expected Virginia to go any differently,
- 0:33Speaker 1: but it's like, really again, we got rolled again. There
- 0:38Speaker 1: is so much disaffected, angst ridden pessimism about the midterms,
- 0:46Speaker 1: and maybe that's just a function of the moment, but
- 0:49Speaker 1: you had, you had a great thing on your x
- 0:50Speaker 1: account Gallagher show which everybody should look look at, and
- 0:54Speaker 1: and you said, maybe the rallying cry for for Hakeem
- 0:57Speaker 1: Jefferys talking about maximum warfare all time is for Republicans
- 1:01Speaker 1: to excuse me, sack up and say challenge accepted, and
- 1:06Speaker 1: meet him on the battlefield and stop whining and wringing
- 1:08Speaker 1: our hands.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Well that's where we're headed, whether anyone likes it or not.
- 1:12Speaker 2: This is I mean, if Hakeem Jeffries wants to lay
- 1:14Speaker 2: down and say maximum warfare everywhere, all the time. That's
- 1:18Speaker 2: what he said last night in his Spiking the Football
- 1:21Speaker 2: post Desa. He wrote, and I think every Republican in Congress,
- 1:26Speaker 2: every Republican in America, every talk show host, every writer,
- 1:30Speaker 2: everyone should frame Hakem Jeffries post. Last night. Hakim Jeffries wrote,
- 1:35Speaker 2: Democrats defeated Donald Trump's Jerry Mandarin scheme in Virginia tonight.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Now that of course, that in alone, and that in
- 1:44Speaker 2: and of itself is fascinating. How did Democrats defeat Trump's
- 1:48Speaker 2: scheme in Virginia? But then he said, we will crush
- 1:53Speaker 2: the DeSantis dummy mander in Florida next Maximum war fair
- 2:00Speaker 2: everywhere all the time. Look as the kids say, don't
- 2:04Speaker 2: hate the don't hate the player, hate the game. And
- 2:08Speaker 2: now the game is war. Now the game is to
- 2:11Speaker 2: see what the Florida special Session of the Legislature next
- 2:15Speaker 2: week will unveil. Uh, there's a very interesting connection here,
- 2:20Speaker 2: Mark that I don't know that people are connecting here,
- 2:22Speaker 2: making the connection and connecting the dots. Axios is reporting
- 2:27Speaker 2: that Florida Governor rond De Santis, whose term will soon
- 2:29Speaker 2: be up is quote begging the Trump administration for a job.
- 2:34Speaker 2: He wants to be attorney general, he wants to be
- 2:37Speaker 2: somewhere in the Trump administration. Well, DeSantis has a chance
- 2:41Speaker 2: to do something pretty pretty intense here. If he does
- 2:47Speaker 2: lead Florida into a massive redistricting so that we can
- 2:53Speaker 2: basically do to the Democrats what they did us in Florida,
- 2:57Speaker 2: then guess what Ron de Santis favor in a big
- 3:01Speaker 2: way with President Trump, who is undoubtedly, you know, smarting
- 3:04Speaker 2: from from one what what happened in Virginia. I don't
- 3:08Speaker 2: think you ought to get mad if the Democrats this
- 3:10Speaker 2: is who they are. They when they tell you who
- 3:12Speaker 2: they are, believe them. They're out of ideas, they're out
- 3:15Speaker 2: of any policies that will win. So what they got
- 3:18Speaker 2: to do is they got to go to war, and
- 3:21Speaker 2: they got a riga district, they got a rig a
- 3:23Speaker 2: state like Virginia. So guess what two can play that game?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Shame on the twenty one spineless Indiana Republicans who had
- 3:31Speaker 2: a chance in December to do the very same thing,
- 3:34Speaker 2: and they said, no, let's play nice with the Democrats.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Let's let's let's let's be let's be above board. Let's
- 3:42Speaker 2: take the high road. I don't know how any of
- 3:44Speaker 2: those Democrats in Indiana can get a good night's sleep
- 3:47Speaker 2: after what happened last night. Because look, if if the
- 3:50Speaker 2: Republicans don't, as you put it so tactfully and technically
- 3:53Speaker 2: sack up, we are done. We're we're we're gonna lose
- 3:57Speaker 2: the country. We're gonna lose in November. We're gonna we're
- 4:01Speaker 2: gonna be in really bad shape. So now it just
- 4:03Speaker 2: comes down to the Republicans. We know who the Democrats are. Mark,
- 4:07Speaker 2: we get it. We hakeem Jeffreys. You want to go
- 4:10Speaker 2: to war? Okay, okay, speaker want to be what do
- 4:13Speaker 2: they call him? The dollar store Obama? Uh, you know,
- 4:16Speaker 2: the kind of the low class version of Barack Obama, who,
- 4:20Speaker 2: by the way, also spiked the football. Oh we stopped
- 4:25Speaker 2: Trump's sh Why are they trying to blame Trump for
- 4:29Speaker 2: what Illinois or Maryland or New York? Did? Are you
- 4:32Speaker 2: kidding me?
- 4:33Speaker 1: Orange man bad, Orange ban bad? If you invoking Trump
- 4:37Speaker 1: and making him the evil enemy is the only motivator they.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Have, and it's working.
- 4:42Speaker 1: It is because the Trump presidency has been so effective
- 4:46Speaker 1: that it energizes two kinds of voters, conservatives and liberals.
- 4:51Speaker 1: The liberals know that there's environmental sanity, there's gender sanity,
- 4:54Speaker 1: that taxes are lower, that crime is going down, that
- 4:57Speaker 1: the border is fixed, and they hate all all of
- 5:00Speaker 1: those things. So he must be stopped, he must be derailed,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and they will do anything to do it.
- 5:07Speaker 2: So guess what. Republicans have to finally grow a spine.
- 5:11Speaker 2: The Save Act has to be passed, The Save America
- 5:13Speaker 2: Act has to get done. And if this doesn't get Republicans' attention,
- 5:18Speaker 2: nothing will. If they don't understand what the stakes are.
- 5:21Speaker 2: By now, they're a lost cause. Dennis Prager always uses
- 5:25Speaker 2: an expression that I love there are two parties, two
- 5:28Speaker 2: political parties. There's the dangerous Party and the stupid Party.
- 5:33Speaker 2: He said, I belong to the stupid Party because it's true.
- 5:37Speaker 2: I mean, how dumb are these Indiana Republicans. How dumb
- 5:40Speaker 2: is John Thune? Oh, how dumb is Mitch McConnell, all
- 5:43Speaker 2: these establishment guys who think that it's going to be
- 5:47Speaker 2: back to the days of Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan
- 5:50Speaker 2: having a beer. Those days are gone, Mark, And guess what,
- 5:54Speaker 2: And thanks to the Virginia Democrats thanks to Soro's money,
- 5:58Speaker 2: thanks to what the eighty million dollars bought in Virginia yesterday,
- 6:01Speaker 2: while incidentally, Republicans barely even paid a dime. The RNC
- 6:07Speaker 2: was worried about John Cornyn. They're spending money on your
- 6:10Speaker 2: state and John Cornyn in Texas and ignoring, you know, Virginia.
- 6:15Speaker 2: So Republicans are largely responsible for all of this. There's
- 6:20Speaker 2: no way around that. So look, if they don't, if
- 6:23Speaker 2: they don't man up, you know, and that's what's left. Mark.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Let's not though, Let's not bury the lead. An extraordinary,
- 6:32Speaker 2: extraordinary announcement from the Justice Department indicting the Southern Poverty
- 6:38Speaker 2: Law Center. This store is a huge story.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Because you give everybody thirty seconds a backup. The Southern
- 6:46Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center bills itself and advertises itself as going
- 6:51Speaker 1: after dangerous extremism, going after racism, finding underground bigotry and prejudice,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and fighting it. What they are, however, themselves a hate group,
- 7:02Speaker 1: identifying Conservatives as biggots, identifying Republicans as a hate group,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and horribly smearing good hearted people. Now what you're about
- 7:11Speaker 1: to go to And I'm so glad to have you
- 7:12Speaker 1: do it is. What they also are is apparently fraudsters
- 7:16Speaker 1: of the highest order, funneling money to the actual clan,
- 7:21Speaker 1: ostensibly to have informants within the klan. But really, I
- 7:25Speaker 1: don't know what your take is. Let me offer you
- 7:26Speaker 1: the talking stake back. I think they were in cahoots
- 7:29Speaker 1: with these people so that they could justify their existence
- 7:34Speaker 1: by lifting up an arm of extremism, so they could say, look,
- 7:37Speaker 1: how great we are, We're fighting extremism.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Do you remember Joe Biden's entire reason for running for
- 7:43Speaker 2: president in the first place.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Well, Charlottesville hoaks the both side talks in Charlottesville now
- 7:48Speaker 1: now Unite the Right was the group that organized the
- 7:52Speaker 1: Charlottesville rally in twenty seventeen, and that rally, incidentally, not only.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Was it the premise for by this whole whole candidacy,
- 8:02Speaker 2: it was falsely used against Trump for years in the
- 8:06Speaker 2: media to smear him. They they look see Trump's a Nazi.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Unite the turns out that the according to the Justice Department,
- 8:13Speaker 2: the Southern Poverty Law Center was funneling millions of dollars
- 8:17Speaker 2: Unite the group. Unite the Right was funded by the
- 8:20Speaker 2: by the s p LC, so This is an organization that,
- 8:25Speaker 2: as you said, millions of dollars being funneled into these
- 8:28Speaker 2: hate groups in order to gin up hatred against conservatives.
- 8:33Speaker 2: And it's a huge and it's just the beginning. It's
- 8:35Speaker 2: a big, big story. Uh. And I think there's a
- 8:38Speaker 2: whole lot of people that are that are sweating bullets
- 8:41Speaker 2: over the Southern Poverty Law Center and for all of
- 8:43Speaker 2: us here at Salem Media, it's very personal because they
- 8:47Speaker 2: put a target on Charlie Kirk's back, the Southern Poverty
- 8:50Speaker 2: Law Center, trying to claim that Charlie Kirk was was
- 8:53Speaker 2: was on their their their hit list, you know, their
- 8:55Speaker 2: list of of hateful whatever conservatives or whatever crap they spew.
- 9:00Speaker 2: And look what happened to Charlie Kirk.
- 9:02Speaker 1: So at that event, at that at that Prescott again,
- 9:05Speaker 1: thank you Southern Property Law leadership. I got the l
- 9:07Speaker 1: rung So Southern Property lost because there was there was
- 9:11Speaker 1: there was Cash Pattel, and there was acting ag Todd Blanche,
- 9:15Speaker 1: which means at one point, of course you've got reporters going, hey, Cash,
- 9:18Speaker 1: are you drunk at work all the time? So give
- 9:21Speaker 1: me sixty seconds of Mike Gallagher on on Cash. The
- 9:24Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollar defamation lawsuit against The
- 9:29Speaker 1: Atlantic that that printed this hit piece. He says, Listen,
- 9:33Speaker 1: I'm coming after you and I'm not having it.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Well we'll see. I mean, it's it's tough to take
- 9:38Speaker 2: on a media organization, and it's a it's a very
- 9:40Speaker 2: high bar. And certainly he's a public figure and they're
- 9:43Speaker 2: going to give him all kinds of uh, they're going
- 9:45Speaker 2: to get all kinds of protections. Look, they're gonna do
- 9:48Speaker 2: what they do. You know, you got the Daily Beat.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It's it's a joy. It actually cracks me up to
- 9:53Speaker 2: look at the Daily Beast every morning online. I get
- 9:56Speaker 2: an email, every headline, every single headline of the stories,
- 10:01Speaker 2: and the Daily Beast are funnier than the other one unintentionally.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I mean, you got let's look today. Let's just look today. Sure,
- 10:07Speaker 2: Maga erupts after disgusting blow to Trump headline. Trump completely
- 10:12Speaker 2: loses it after being branded a sucker headline. Obama takes
- 10:16Speaker 2: a victory lap after humiliating defeat for Trump headline Sleepless
- 10:20Speaker 2: Trump seventy nine melts down in barrage of unhinged posts.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I mean it's like after one after the oh here's
- 10:28Speaker 2: one another headline in Today's Daily Beast. Trump makes Netflix's
- 10:32Speaker 2: Hulk Hogan docu series all about himself. Oh okay, well whatever,
- 10:38Speaker 2: that's a shocker. Yo. Wait what? Oh babe, Yeah, that's
- 10:41Speaker 2: a real news flash. But look, there's all kinds of
- 10:44Speaker 2: media outlets like this that are gonna just hammer us
- 10:47Speaker 2: and hammer us and hammer us. It's baked into the cake.
- 10:49Speaker 2: And sometimes people like Cash Mattel say enough is enough.
- 10:53Speaker 2: But look, I just think it's important not to wallow
- 10:56Speaker 2: in this, not to whine about it. We got to
- 10:59Speaker 2: roll up our and we got to go to work,
- 11:01Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm going to spend a lot of
- 11:03Speaker 2: time on my show today talking about what Florida might
- 11:06Speaker 2: be able to do, and every single Republican state needs
- 11:09Speaker 2: to do this. And the tragedy about this is I
- 11:12Speaker 2: don't like this any more than you do. We're not
- 11:14Speaker 2: going to have any purple states anymore. We're just not.
- 11:16Speaker 2: We're gonna have red states and blue states. We're gonna
- 11:19Speaker 2: have New England doesn't have a single Republican representative in Congress.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Now what, that's where it started, and that is where
- 11:26Speaker 1: to let the record show that that is where it started.
- 11:29Speaker 1: My state of Texas didn't start it. We answered that
- 11:32Speaker 1: that you just identified in New England. Then California answered Texas.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Virginia answered Texas. Florida may answer Virginia that this is
- 11:40Speaker 1: where we are. And against this entire backdrop, we must
- 11:43Speaker 1: be no ways tired. We must be ready to take
- 11:45Speaker 1: to the field of battle against Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer,
- 11:48Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, a party that remains crazy and dog on it.
- 11:52Speaker 1: We got a few months to get our act together,
- 11:53Speaker 1: and we're gonna team up and we're gonna make sure
- 11:56Speaker 1: that happens.
- 11:56Speaker 2: We've got a country we got to save. There's just
- 11:58Speaker 2: no question about it. And we got to roll up
- 12:00Speaker 2: our sleeves and go to work and not wallow in
- 12:03Speaker 2: in a in a setback. And look, hey, give credit
- 12:05Speaker 2: where credit is due. They pulled it off in Virginia. Yes,
- 12:08Speaker 2: they did it, yep, you know, and and it was
- 12:10Speaker 2: a perfect storm. RNC didn't spend any money there. They
- 12:13Speaker 2: ignored it, they avoided it. They went to work. Sorows
- 12:17Speaker 2: poured in some money into Virginia. So hey, don't hate,
- 12:20Speaker 2: don't hate the don't hate the player, hate the game. Game,
- 12:24Speaker 2: all right, here he is, He's ready for you.
