"Up 60 seats, which was never in the cards, but 30 certainly seemed plausible. And it seems when the year started that Republicans were pretty good to pick up the Senate. Neither of those happened. Why not? Well, it didn't happen for a couple of reasons. One was the abortion ruling that David mentioned. That really energized Democrats independent women, suburban women, women voters who might otherwise have voted Republican, but were upset by the Supreme Court's decision. And the other one was Donald Trump. You know, it brings to mind the old country song. How can I miss you when you don't go away? I mean, Donald Trump has not been your typical former president. What do they usually do? They go overseas and give speeches and make a ton of money. They concentrate on building their presidential library. You know, Donald Trump has been in our faces in our living rooms in our Twitter feeds. Constantly since leaving office and so this was not a referendum, which is what a midterm typically is. Do I like Joe Biden? Do I not like Joe Biden? It became a choice. Do I like Joe Biden more than I like Donald Trump? The election deniers that he was supporting. And when it came down to that decision, interestingly, the exit polls showed a lot of people were not happy with Joe Biden, but they voted for Democrats anyway. That is not quite unprecedented, but a really unusual and remarkable thing. So you're saying this year was yet another electoral defeat for Donald Trump, who's already said he's going to run for president in 2024. Yeah, he's three for three. I mean, let's remember he didn't win the popular vote. He took office because he won the Electoral College. He lost control of the House in the 2018 midterms. He lost the Senate. He has the distinction going back to your good friend, Herbert Hoover, being the first president to lose, control of The White House, the Senate, and the house, and yes, he is running for president again, although it's interesting he gave his speech a week after the midterm and he's kind of gone underground. I mean, relatively speaking for Donald Trump, since hasn't done any rallies, hasn't done a whole lot of campaign events, though, yes, he's running, but not very hard, at least right now. Yeah, for me, the biggest story was it's the same story every two years. Latinos. Har Latinos got to vote. Are Latinos going to go more Republicans? Part of the red wave that you described as a puddle mark was this idea that Latinos were going to reject the Democratic Party, turn Republican and help Republicans win. The same thing happened in Los Angeles, Julia with the mayor's race with Rick Caruso, even though he was running as Democrat poured millions of dollars into this unprecedented campaign to get out the vote for Latinos and David, there's only one Latina the Supreme Court, Sonya Sotomayor, but I've seen her really emerge as this voice of the loyal opposition because she is one of the few liberals left on the Supreme Court. And yet, it seems insomnia's case, she's the only one who is paying up to her into the supposed bargain because Latinos showed up to vote for Caruso, but not enough numbers to get Rick Caruso to be Karen Bass, and we all know what happened with the Republicans, Mark. Latinos, it seems like they are still kind of iffy about the Democratic Party, but they're just still not cool enough with the Republicans to go for them. Well, and they also didn't show up in large numbers. I mean, that's one of the stories of the midterm election. Turn out a black voters was down turnout of Latino voters was down. And I think that explains why Democrats feel that we need at least a couple seats that they had their eye on. There was an open seat up in the northern part of the San Joaquin valley that the Republican ended up picking up that seat. David valadao running in the district that Joe Biden carried overwhelmingly reelected, part of the story is because there was not a significant Latino turnout. And that hurt Democrats. Julia, what do you think? I think that the big bet that Caruso made was very much not just on winning Latino votes, but turning out voters who hadn't probably not previously voted in LA mayoral elections or did not regularly vote. And that by and large did not succeed. There was not much of a turnout bump in LA for Latino voters. David, how are you seeing Sonia Sotomayor grow or even evolve in her role as a justice on the Supreme Court? Well, I agree with what you said Gustavo. She is an outspoken critic of the liberal court and she's not she's not somebody trying to work the middle or to soft coat any differences. She is a strong voice of opposition and she was sort of that for many years and she's become more so all along for a long time the other two liberals Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer were the sort of let's work the middle. You know, maybe we can try to make some of the bad decisions, not quite so bad. Just as some of my art was always the, you know, strong voice on the liberal side and I think feels more unban now because there's very little and a lot of these cases there's no middle ground position. It's left or right. So I think she's really emerged as a strong voice and is a good person. She's going to be have a lot to say and a lot to complain about in the years ahead because, as I say, the court's going to move very far right. And she's going to be very unhappy with him. Coming up after the break, some political stories that our guests think deserved more attention. So we talked about the big stories, but David Mark Julia, there's only so many stories y'all could have gotten to in 2022. And all reporters always have stories either. We couldn't get to or think there just should have been more coverage about. Julia, let's start with you this time. What's your pick for an LA story that didn't get enough attention? There is definitely one area where I feel like with both the leak and the election, we were just running around like chickens with our heads cut off for so long that we did not get to kind of dig into everything we wanted to dig into. And for me, one of the most potent examples of that that I would really like to write about more is these two major reform measures that are kind of on the docket in LA that have really been catalyzed by the Lake, although they had been talked about for a long time before. One is the drive to put an independent redistricting commission in charge of LA redistricting, drawing the city council lines because much of what was captured on the leak was just how much influence city council has over the current redistricting process. And the other is a reform to potentially increase the number of seats on the city council. Right now, LA has 15 city council seats for a population of about 4 million people. That means each council member represents a little more than a quarter million people. It's a huge amount of power. And so a lot of good governance experts have argued that making a bigger council where each council member represents fewer constituents would actually really help with a lot of issues, particularly corruption issues because they would dilute that power a bit and also allow them to pay more attention to the areas they are serving. Both of these things would be very major efforts to undertake because they would require a change to the city charter, which is basically the big governing document that sort of dictates how LA runs and in order to do that you need to pass a charter amendment, which requires a vote of the public. So it would have to go to a ballot measure and be voted on by the people of Los Angeles. Yeah, gerrymandering is a huge issue nationwide, period. Mark, what's your underrated story of the year? Well, the pickup on what Julia was just saying and a venture a bit into David savage land. I think one of the least appreciated things was the role of the judiciary in shaping congressional contests and by that I mean we had several states where maps were drawn were very, very favorable to one part of the other. You know, in Florida, Republicans drew a very, very gerrymandered, very favorable map, and it wasn't favorable enough for Iran desantis, the governor who threw it out and drew an even more gerrymandered map, which helped Republicans pick up a lot of seats there. That was fine with the courts in Florida, and I hope whoever's listening is either sitting down or you don't swerve off the road when you hear this, but judges act in very, very partisan fashion. In New York and Maryland, we had very, very favorable maps for Democrats that were thrown out. More competitive maps were drawn Republicans picked up a lot of seats in New York in Ohio, justices of the Supreme Court threw out a very gerrymandered map. Republicans who control the legislators said, well, forget it. We're going to go with these maps anyway. So huge, huge influence in terms of control of the House and the way these maps are drawn based on the partisan judgment of justices of state supreme courts. David, what's a legal story that you wish you had more time to cover in 2022? Well, I think one of the really big stories coming along now is sort of control of the Internet is up for grabs and nobody knows exactly what's a reasonable right solution. We've had, I don't know, 30 years of the sort of free speech model that anything goes, and what we've got is an Internet with a lot of lies distortions, hate speech, conspiracy theories, and a lot of people left, right, middle say there's something wrong here, but Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott want the state of Texas and Florida to pass laws to say the Internet can't exclude Republicans. They want to have some law that's going to have the state courts and the state legislature tell, you know, you need to put more conservatives and Republicans on the Internet. On the left side, a lot of people want to get rid of the lies and distortions and hate speech on the Internet, but nobody knows exactly what the right model is and the Supreme Court is going to be asked to weigh in on a lot of these. And then in addition to all that, you have the sort of billionaire model. The Elon Musk's people take over and they want to then control the Internet and put on people they like and take off people. They don't like. So I think this is really much up in the air. There's going to be a lot of big court cases coming and the court's going to try to have to decide can the government play any role in moderating or restraining content on the Internet or is it got to be the anything goes model? I'm old enough to remember, you know, you say desantis and Abbott want legislation requiring more Republicans on the Internet. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were the party that was anti quota, right? Yeah, they thought free speech is a good thing. Talk radio should be free and all that. They flipped entirely, and now they want to regulate the Internet, but of course they only want to regulate it in their favorite way. That is, let's protect conservatives and if need be kick off liberals. And that doesn't seem to be a very good formula. More, after the break. Hi, I'm nyla boodoo, host of axios today. It's a daily podcast that gives you the latest scoops and analysis to power your day. But we don't just run through the headlines. We provide the important stories you won't get anywhere else. Everything from politics to space to race injustice. So grab a cup of coffee or a cup of tea for me and join me for ten minutes every morning to get up to speed for the day ahead. You can listen to axios today on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay folks, let's look forward now. We're almost out of time here, but in your respective beats, what do you see happening in 2023? Mark, you start. Well, I have good news for voters. Feel concerned about gas prices or inflation or anything else. You're going to have a new Republican House majority that's going to spend a lot of time informing you about Hunter Biden's laptop. You know, I talked to dozens if not scores of voters last year, and with the exception of very Ardent partisans, I didn't hear a single person bring up Hunter Biden's laptop or a desire to see a Republicans investigating Democrats, but I think you're going to see an awful lot of that in the next Congress on the house side I should say. And I don't think it's going to go well for Republicans. You know, I don't claim to be particularly wise, but I have seen a few things and you know, we saw that same thing in 98 Republicans went after president Bill Clinton, impeached him, and there was a huge backlash. Again, I don't think there's a huge appetite for investigations, but I don't think that's going to stop the new Republican majority in the House. Vernon Jordan, redux. What about you, Julia? I think it'll be really interesting to see how everything plays out with bass as mayor and this new class of council members, and then Kenneth mejia, who also was an insurgent candidate who's pretty young, led a really incredible social media heavy campaign and won the city controller's race. All of these politicians who really have been sort of oppositional to the system, seeing what happens when they all take office. And to be clear, I'm not counting bath in the oppositional to the system category she absolutely is not in that category I meant that new council members in my head. And finally, David, what do you see the Supreme Court doing in 2023? What are the big stories? Well, let me give you two R words. Race and regulation of the Supreme Court's got an affirmative action case among colleges, the conservatives are very strong in their view that the government may not use race as a factor for college admissions or anything. So there's going to be some big decisions that very much rain in the use of race in any sort of affirmative way. They care about that and it's going to be the first of many. And regulation one of the really big things the Supreme Court is doing is basically saying a democratic administration like Joe Biden does not have the authority to make major advances in things like environmental law or COVID vaccines or student loan forgiveness. There very much inclined to say, hey, if you want to make big changes, you got to go to Congress, Congress has been passing any legislation. So they're really clamping down and squeezing the power of the federal government is particularly so and democratic administrations to do regulations on things that Democrats think are good and Congress isn't taking them on the Supreme Court is going to say sorry you can't do that. And as for me, I see 2023 actually I write a whole column every year about my predictions for the following year and I'm right every single year so just go to LA times dot com and you can see all my predictions there and they'll touch on everything that we talked about today. And that's going to be it for this today.

"I don't think Republicans are going to work with us. They have no interest in lowering inflation or anything. This is all they're going to do is investigation. Let's say that. Sorry, go ahead. No, I said, how do we handle that? Democratic mess. Well, so here's what I would say. First of all, paint them into a corner. We don't do that enough. You know they create these demons with people like Nancy Pelosi who aren't even demons. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a demon. Yeah. She should be the face of their party. She's the one pulling on McCarthy strings. And they're not even guaranteed that he has the votes yet. So what I'm hoping is, go ahead. Go ahead, no finish, 'cause yeah, go ahead. I did a little bit of research, and you have to do a lot of research to find normal Republicans. And there are actually like three or four in the house. There's one Latina from the Miami area who voted in favor of background checks, version in favor of the keeping the Affordable Care Act was pro choice and also their stuff. And I thought, why don't Democrats grab the half dozen Republicans who are sane, go and make a power sharing agreement, make this woman speaker and just get her to agree to bring up some decent legislation and just chop Kevin McCarthy because already. He doesn't have the votes. Well, this is the shade that Jeffrey's just through, just real quick. Let's take a listen. Hakeem Jeffries. On what you just said. You expect that Kevin McCarthy is going to be speaker? Well, that's a question at the end of the day that the Republicans are going to have to work out. He seems to be having a difficult time at this moment getting the two 18. But we'll see what happens on January 3rd. Yes. I was going to see the other one that would be a good candidate is David valadao from the Fresno area because his district is actually a Biden controlled district, but he got reelected. But he voted for impeachment. He also voted on the gun safety and he also voted for abortion rights. And another one of those ones I liked. I didn't know if he had held on though, is that been officially his officially held on? It looks like he's going to win. I don't know if it's been a call yet, but if I am happy to be happy like you, I have not given up on the blue tsunami. I think there might be just enough GOP that are either indicted. Or we can bring the others to sanity and we could still control the house.

"Whenever possible to get things done. For the American people to work on issues related to the economy and inflation and lowering costs by the better paying jobs and safer communities. And I hope that Republicans will look for common ground with us, but we will also oppose them when we must, particularly as it relates to any effort to go down this rabbit hole of unnecessary unconscionable, unacceptable investigations of the administration. Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Uh cliff Scheckter is with us. Well, I hope that in my aunt would have a so she could be my uncle, but I don't think Republicans are going to work with us. They have no interest in lowering inflation or anything. This is all they're going to do is an investigation. I mean, sorry, go ahead. No, I said, how do we handle that? Democratic messaging guru. Well, so here's what I would say. First of all, paint them into a corner. We don't do that enough. You know they create these demons with people like Nancy Pelosi who aren't even demons.

There are about that many that are actual moderates, right? And they're the ones you see on every one of those votes, whether it's on marriage equality, birth control, they're always with Democrats. They're not going to have, again, if McCarthy doesn't have these right wingers, grab the others power sharing agreement, get stuff done. In on review, cliff schechter, alpha liberal. I like the shade, the both Jeffreys and representative Aguilar. Oh, this is great. Kevin. Possibly incoming Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy has vowed to hold hearings about why the capitol complex wasn't secure on January 6th. And he has faulted your committee for not focusing enough on this. How do you respond to that question of why there isn't more of a focus on security breakdowns? If and when that individual becomes the possible speaker and can count the votes to get there, I have my doubts. Look, you understand willing for anybody to stand the test of time and to look at the history of the documents of what we've put forward. I just picture him like Tracy flick in election, just watching that on TV. No, you know, somebody should have a now that I know I can say this on here. So we should have a bar chart of his penis shrinking. Yes. Each of these statements are made. Just getting a little bit smaller for cabin. You know? Also, he was on with Maria bartiromo yesterday. Uh oh. And even she was like to his face in studio. Oh, dear. Okay. Well, I'm talking about security. We are talking about what happened that day. I think that what's happening is Kevin McCarthy has to do anything he can to appease the mother extremists within his party. That's it. Yeah. Where is this fight? Where does this spend hours with the freedom caucus? We have a close majority. Exactly what the Democrats had in the last time. And we've laid out to the American public. They chose for us to be in the majority for us to lead. We need to come together as one. Otherwise, we will not be successful. We've had a very successful conference last week. Well, you want 85% of the vote and obviously the majority wants you as speaker. 85% of the majority wants you to speak. But went on to say. But you've got to get the 218 votes. Yeah, the difficulty here is we've already had the primary. We've already made that decision, 85% of the conference. Yeah. If people don't come along, that's going to delay all the ability to secure the border. That's going to delay our ability to become energy independents. That's going to delay our ability to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. That's going to delay our ability to hold government accountable. There's no subpoena that can go out until that gets done. And right now it's actually delaying our ability to govern as we go. So is he turning into that MK guy? Yeah, he is okay. I want you to come in on Saturday. Boring, silly, like, again, he doesn't have the votes. He knows he doesn't have the votes. That's why it's so much fun listening to

"News. What is the latest at Lauren boebert, by the way? They've gone so mysteriously dark on that. So mysteriously dark. Now, for those of you that are watching in Arizona and lamenting and you're saying, man, how did things go so wrong? Well, interestingly enough, Arizona is about to send more Republican congressmen to Congress than Democrat congressman, so despite all of the negative and the frustrating news, Arizona is about to send some pretty rockstar conservatives to to Congress. Lauren boebert is up 1000 votes right now. And has decision day called it for low and boebert. Is that right? They have? So then what is our official number if we've called it for long? Are we at two 19 now? Or two 20? I don't know, I don't know what number we're at now. There's still some other uncalled races, including Scott bos race in Orange County. That one's gonna be tough against Katie Porter. David valadao is looking good in California 22. He's a fighter. I'll tell you what. He really is. In California 13, we still have duarte, so it could end up being around two 21, two 22. Oh, the decision desk, call it for Katie Porter. She's the worst. I'll tell you what. Orange County seat. With all that being said, though, if it was not for Lee zeldin, if it was not for the pastors in California, that ballot harvested and got out in the streets, Democrats would control the United States House of Representatives. If that is, that is the clearest, most convincing argument to not give up. And by the way, Karen Bass, who is a Marxist communist, is going to be the mayor of Los Angeles. And by the way, John duarte, the one race I just mentioned, another congressional pickup possibly is in the lead with 91% and could be a really good surprise. Boy, I'd love to see us get the two 22 or two 23. We are going to control the United States House of Representatives, praise, God, for that. Thanks so much for listening, everybody, email me as always freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Thanks so much for listening. God bless. For more, on many of these stories and news you can trust.

I was finishing undergrad and got credit cards because I couldn't work full time so that started the credit card journey for me. If you're in debt and you need help, call Trinity at one 809 9 O 6 9 7 6. And then when I got married, we combined our credit card debt and it became impossible to pay off on our own. At that point, I was like, I don't know where to turn. And then I found Trinity. Trinity will consolidate your accounts into one easy to manage monthly payment, reduce your interest and possibly improve your credit score. You'll save thousands. I initially was scared to call and immediately I felt relief. I mean, in a matter of three years, we've already paid down $20,000 in credit card debt, which is huge. Call Trinity at one 809 9 O 6 9 7 6. That's one 809 9 O 69 76..
POLITICO Playbook Audio Briefing
"david valadao" Discussed on POLITICO Playbook Audio Briefing
"Presented by meadow. Hey, good morning, playbook. I'm ragu mana ball in its Tuesday. Today's show, big day for Republican leadership. It's our play to go playbook daily briefing. Before we get into it, a quick house update, as politica, Zach montelera, and David Cohen write in today's playbook to Democrat slim hopes to retain the House majority, we're just about extinguished Monday. After three late night AP calls, put Republicans one seat away from securing a House majority. Worth noting, Republican candidates lead in four more races. Kevin kiley and the California third representative David valadao in the California 22nd, represented Mike Garcia in the California 27th and representative Lauren boebert and the Colorado 8th. As the Republican Party wrestles with whether it should stick with its three current leaders, Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and Mitch McConnell, today is crucial, especially for the first two. McCarthy faces a vote of House Republicans on whether he'll be their nominee for speaker in January. He should easily pass that test, but the margin will tell us how much trouble he's in. That gives the California Republican a few short weeks to muster the 218 votes to clinch the gavel. And while the math is tough, he's already seeing a few positive signs. One, the closer candidate formed yesterday didn't have too many fireworks. A surprise given all the tough talk from mccurdy's critics. Two, the house freedom caucus is already fracturing. Yesterday. None other than representative Marjorie Taylor Greene argued on Steve Bannon's podcast that the group's attempt to leverage their votes for rules changes was what she calls a bad strategy that would backfire on the GOP and that they should unite behind McCarthy. Three to her point, modern GOP representative Don bacon told NBC's Scott Wong and Kyle Stewart that if the conference doesn't unite behind a candidate, he'll work with demps to elect a moderate Jupiter lawmaker to lead. They can tell them. I will support Kevin McCarthy, but if we do get to that point, I do want the country to work and we need to govern. We can't sit neutral. We can't have total gridlock for two years. Still, the expected slim GOP margin makes it tough for McCarthy, particularly given that members like representative Matt Gaetz are vowing never to vote for him, no matter what he does. Gates said on the Charlie Kirk show, I'm not voting for him tomorrow. I'm not voting for him on the floor, and I'm certain that there is a critical mass of people who hold my precise view. One thing to watch, The Wall Street Journal scooped yesterday, the McCarthy allies had reached up to representative Henry cuellar. The democratic representative from Texas to see if he might backed the GOP leader for speaker and switch parties to pad his majority. But turning to Democrats for votes would blow back on McCarthy by infuriating the right and the GOP leader committed yesterday that he would not rely on the left to secure his 218 votes. Tonight at 9 p.m., former president Donald Trump is scheduled to announce his third campaign for president. The best way to understand the context of this announcement is to take a spin through the last 24 hours of Trump news. You can catch the full rundown in today's playbook newsletter, but the big takeaway is that the movement on the right to abandon Trump is the strongest it's been since the days after January 6th, but then again, it wasn't very strong back then. Trump news section one, the governing dramas of the last Trump administration were suddenly back in the headlines. Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly told Mike Schmidt from The New York Times that while president Trump wanted a number of his perceived political enemies to be investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, including FBI director James Comey, and deputy Andrew mccabe. House oversight chair Carolyn maloney released new documents showing 6 nations spent $750,000 at the Trump hotel. She states in the report, these documents sharply call into question the extent to which president Trump was guided by his personal financial interest while in office rather than the best interests of the American people. Air clipped and Maggie haberman and Ben protest from The New York Times put Trump's foreign business entanglements front and center once again. The trio right, the Trump family has struck a deal with the Saudi based real estate company to license its name to a housing and golf complex that will be built in Oman, renewing a swirl of questions about Trump's mixing of politics and business just as he appears poised to announce a third presidential candidacy. Trump news section number two, fellow Republicans on and off Capitol Hill reacted to Trump's forthcoming run with the mix of silence, trepidation, and revulsion. As whether she would endorse Trump, senator Cynthia Loomis from Wyoming, told reporters, I don't think that's the right question. I think the question is, who is the current leader of the Republican Party? Her answer? Ron DeSantis. Pillars of the GOP establishment felt newly empowered to air their reservations about another Trump candidacy, with senator Mitt Romney, comparing Trump to a past its prime pitching ace, Romney said, he's been on the mound and lost three straight games.

"So you're basically dealing here with Matt mauer's who I'm going to call push and Caroline leave it who is essentially shove or kind of a harder push and who wins? Leave it wins. So now we have all these kind of maga candidates. And by the way, we're thinking here about Herschel Walker in Georgia, we're thinking of Blake masters in Arizona. Of course, in gubernatorial races, Carrie Lake, and Pennsylvania, Doctor Oz, in Ohio JD Vance. Now, again, the Democrats seem to think, well, these are these are not the strongest candidates. It remains to be seen. Walker, although he was for a while there really trailing Warnock has now gone past him. Blake masters is still a little behind, I believe, but catching up. That's a close race. And I think masters will win it. Doctor Oz, again, I think a little bit of a problematic candidate, but I think he's still going to beat fetterman. We're going to wait and see, this is not, I don't claim any expertise in this. I'm a spectator as like everyone else. And I think JD Vance will win in Ohio. Now interestingly in Ohio, the Democrat is trying to play like he's a moderate. He's actually quite conservative, but no, this is a guy who's voted consistently with Biden, his conservatism is moderation is completely a mirage. Trump does have basically been sweeping the primaries. This is what I mean by the magnification of the GOP. There are only a couple of cases where someone who voted against Trump or voted to impeach Trump has made it. David valadao of California, Dan newhouse of Washington state, Lisa Murkowski hasn't made it to the Senate, but she has made it to the final round and noticed that she did it in a very strange kind of primary in which everybody in the state could vote. There's no, there was no distinction between parties and the top vote getters, basically make it to the final.

"Quickly in an emergency. So that is why I have vara safeties reach two S, the reach twos is different from a regular gun safe because it's actually a hybrid between a safe and a holster so it looks like a holster, it's sleek, it's metal, but it keeps your gun secure and locked, okay? You mount it next to your bed or you could do it in your vehicle, put it on a piece of furniture in your room. I keep mine mounted near my bed, but to use it you guys, you literally just grab your gun from the holster and then your thumb naturally lines up onto a fingerprint sensor on the safe. It's just like drawing from a holster so it's very quick, but only authorized users can unlock it because of the biometric sensor. So that's what really made it a game changer for me as soon as I grabbed my gun, I know it will unlock immediately and I am set up with proper grip. It eliminates all the extra steps with other gun safes, which really takes up valuable time if you're in a pickle. So again, it's super fast. All you have to do to even secure it back in is just re holster it and push on the lock super simple. The reach twos is by far the fastest way to get my gun and it checks all the boxes for security and reliability, okay? What's even better, the company is right by my hometown and Saratoga, New York, and they build their product here in America. Thank goodness, thank God. I am so thankful that we are seeing the rise of American made companies once again. What a great movement, okay? You guys can go check this out and get your own. I think everybody should have one in their home. And their car, you can get it at vara, safety dot com, VA, RA safety dot com. Okay, and to finish up the show you guys, we are going to talk about the actual impact that all of the crazy news headlines are really having. All the accumulation of the mess of the last few years, especially since the 2020 election. All the mess, it's all accumulating to this. The 2022 midterms. So first headline that I want to read for you guys is from breitbart dot com and to the headline is 80% of pro impeachment House Republicans to exit Congress. It says the 2021 House impeachment vote of former president Donald Trump was one of the most career wrecking votes in congressional history, as 80% of the pro impeachment members will exit Congress in 2023. With reb Cheney's massive loss Tuesday evening in Wyoming, a mere two of the ten pro impeachment Republicans remain in the house only two left, guys. That means congressman David valadao, I think, is how you pronounce it and Dan newhouse. So David is from California, Dan newhouse is from Washington, both Republicans, so keep an eye out for them. They voted to impeach president Trump. It says newhouse hails from a safer red district while David from California is running for reelection in a more contested district where Trump did not endorse anyone in the primary. It says four pro impeachment Republicans opted to retire and not compete in a GOP primary, which includes Adam kinzinger from Illinois, Anthony Gonzalez from Ohio, Fred Upton from Michigan and John katko from New York.

"A surprise, but I'm going to say a few words and praise of Adam kinzinger. What Adam kinzinger, the guy who the guy who decided to vote well, he voted for Trump's impeachment. He's been on the January 6th committee with Liz Cheney. But here's a key difference. Adam kinzinger has a little bit of self recognition. Liz Cheney does not have any. I mean, let's start with Liz Cheney. I mean, the idea of getting absolutely routed in your primary. And think of it. You got the Cheney dynasty. You've got all the money you have outspend Harry and hagerman. Harriet hagerman is a kind of a nobody. She comes out of nowhere and no political experience. She's running against you. And you lose by like, what, 35 points, 40 points, according to Trump. I mean, this is humiliating. A normal person would be like, oh my gosh, I don't know if I can show my face in public at the very least, I've got to recognize I did something to offend my own base. I insulted my own voters. I gave them the middle finger. Now they're giving me the middle finger. This is not good. But it would lose Jaime. None of that. You basically, I'm like Abraham Lincoln. I'm like general grant. My loss is really a victory onto the bigger ones now. This is like this shows a level of psychotic delusion that it's hard to even know. I mean, this is somebody with a ridiculous, absurd ego. And I mean, politicians have big egos, but this is the limit. Now, now contrast this with kinzinger, who I think at least recognizes that he got clobbered by Trump. In fact, he was asked, did he does he believe that he quote won in the feud with Trump? And he goes, no, he goes, he goes, Trump won. He was evidently interviewed by WGN, and here are skins that are quote. Yeah, he won in the short term at least. So, you know, he kinzing is trying to minimize it, but nevertheless he admits, and the short term Trump won, quote, there's no use in pretending somehow I scored some major victory and saved the party. So again, you have to respect a certain measure of honest appraisal of the situation. I got into a fight, and here I am lying on the canvas. No, I didn't win the fight. I'm not loose Jamie. He goes on to say they ask him, what about the future? Do you think you can make a comeback? And he goes, quote, if people wake up, there may be an opportunity to come back if they don't. I know I've done what I can do. In other words, what kinzinger is saying is that he is alienated from the current Republican Party that in today's Republican Party, if he were to run against somebody who reflected, let's just say the maga movement. He has kinzinger has absolutely no chance. And Kinsey could also goes on to say they asked him well, don't you think Trump is going to become irrelevant and Kinsey goes well, even after Trump is irrelevant, he goes trumpism won't be. Trump is a morbid. So my concern is that trumpism has been learned. In other words, what he's saying is that, and I think he's right about this. The Trump phenomenon has now been picked up by lots of other people. And yesterday on the podcast, Troy nails. And Debbie's known Troy nails for 20 years, honey. Even longer. And try nailed that actually came out of the moderate wing of the Republican Party in the sense that he was a sheriff. He was a constable. He was a Law & Order guy. He wasn't highly ideological across the board. But here's a guy whose watch Trump got to meet Trump has seen the kind of trumpian spirit recognize the Trump did a lot of good when he was president, and so love Trump. If you heard it yesterday, Troy was very bullish, if you will on Trump and believes that Trump is the leader of the party and that the Trump is also the future that in 2024, he goes, look, you know, there may be room for other people beyond that. But in 2024, it's Trump's GOP was what Troy nails had to say. And the hold of Trump over the GOP, the strength of trumpism, if you will, on the GOP, it's been really clear with this with the primaries that we've just seen. So let's do a quick review. Because Liz Cheney gone. Representative Jaime Herrera, Jamie Herrera, butler and Washington state. She lost to Joe Kent, a trumpster. Peter Mayer and Michigan, he lost. Tom rice and South Carolina, he lost. These are all the people who voted for impeachment. Kinzinger decided not to seek reelection. John katko of New York will not seek reelection, Fred Upton of Michigan announced his retirement. He won't seek reelection Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio will not seek reelection. So really, only two guys who voted for impeachment, one of them was David valadao of California. Now, interestingly, David valadier of California is an army vet. And Trump has not campaigned against him. Trump campaigned against a number of the guys who voted to impeach him, but he sort of left this valido guy alone. And valadier, one is primary. The guy that Trump did denounce, but one is primary nevertheless as Dan newhouse in Washington state. So Trump's record in terms of people who voted for his impeachment is a massive 8 out of ten.

"Of these candidates have done that and some of them have not. And you know, I think Peter Mayer is fascinating because there is an ad out in Michigan where he is saying that with the triple C and pushing Gibbs, he is now pushing that back on Nancy Pelosi. So while she's talking about democracy in Taiwan, he is saying that this is the height of hypocrisy and she's pushing this guy who believes in the big lie, so this has been a continuing sort of controversy as we've talked about on the democratic side. Should they be pushing these big lie candidates? Good thing this isn't confusing for anyone. We've seen a couple of different results here. It dug David valadao in California, kept his job, Tom rice in South Carolina, not so much. How does this cut or are we just back to going district by district, different feelings about Trump and their own incumbent? Yes, I mean, that's exactly where it stands. Now, part of this also is happening in the atmosphere of redistricting, where members are also running in slightly different districts than they used to, which presents its own challenge. We often see member versus member primaries, which has played itself out to where their campaigning to be, who can be the most Trump like. And what we see is that Donald Trump is still the alpha dog of the party. It's a diminished alpha dog that was a smaller alpha dog. His endorsement gets you 30% of the vote for sure. That's not what gets you the other third unless voters feel that basically you're not representing them by opposing not all things Donald Trump, but one big thing Donald Trump. But we'll be talking a lot more about results of course at this time tomorrow the other incumbent on incumbent is a democratic race for watching in Michigan and 11.

TSMC stands to benefit as they open a chip plant and expand potentially those plans into Arizona, of course, voting on this primary day. Jeannie, is this getting to be a little bit too big of a visible trip here? Or is this the type of itinerary you were expecting? She's going to have a joint news conference with the president of Taiwan in the morning. I think it's very much in keeping with Nancy Pelosi, you know, Doug described her as a Street Fighter. She certainly is, she was never going to go do this quietly. And it's going to be a very, very sort of fraught 48 96 hours as China has to respond to this. And we've seen some of that already, but the boulder she gets the more bold potentially their responses, although I don't think they'll go over a line. Doug worried we have less than a minute, but are you worried about her safety in departing? Do we have to worry about Chinese fighter jets fooling around or anything like that? No, I'm not. They know that that would be the ultimate kind of escalation, which China doesn't want to do either. They want to see how much they can get away with, but Jeannie talks about a line.

"Seemed to be enough. It was, and then in California, a Republican congressman David valadao narrowly advanced in his primary out there. Trump didn't really intervene in that race. I think maybe because of Kevin McCarthy, who's a neighbors of district that valadao has may have prevailed upon the former president to stay out of that race. But is probably the only Republican who could win that district in November. Ten of their ten Republicans started to impeach Trump 6 of them were seeking reelection for them decided to retire. So we've had two of them had to go through the have had to go through the crucible of primaries and then you've got four left three as we mentioned on August the second and then the last one is the biggest one probably of them all on August 16th Liz Cheney and Wyoming. Yeah, that one is going to be particularly interesting. Is there any chance at this point that that Liz Cheney actually winds up pulling out a victory here? It's really hard to see just based on the polling. I mean, totally shows are well behind. And it seems like the anti chaining vote has coalesced around one candidate Harriet hagman, who's the choice of former president Trump. If there had been, say, four or 5 serious candidates who could split the anti Cheney vote and allow her to win with a plurality. I mean, that would certainly benefit her, but because most of the anti Cheney vote will be will accrue to Harriet Hagrid. That's not a good sign for Cheney. Yeah, it's going to definitely certainly be a difficult race for her. I know you were tweeting out today. Some of the folks who have donated to her and it's really eye popping to see how many of her colleagues have donated to her opponent.

"After voting to impeach Trump, Tom rice loses House seat to Russell fry in the South Carolina Republican primary. By Meg canard, Associated Press, Charleston, South Carolina. U.S. representative Tom rice of South Carolina has been ousted from Congress and his Republican primary after voting to impeach Donald Trump over the January 6th insurrection. He is the first of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump to lose a reelection bid. Rice, a 5 term congressman, was defeated Tuesday by state representative Russell fry, who was endorsed by Trump. Rice was a strong supporter of Trump's policies in Washington, but said he was left no choice but to impeach Trump over his failure to calm the mob that violently sought to stop the certification of Joe Biden's victory. U.S. representative Nancy mace of South Carolina also angered Trump, but she sought to make amends and won her GOP primary over her own Trump backed challenger. Another race is Tuesday, democratic representative Dina Titus and Nevada handily defeated her progressive challenger, while Republican representative Mark amade, won his primary against the son of one of the state's most famous sports figures. In Maine, a former Republican congressman is hoping to reclaim his seat in November and a rematch with the Democrat who defeated him four years ago. And Texas, Republican Myra Flores, narrowed Nancy Pelosi's democratic majority in the House by winning a special primary election to serve the remaining months of former democratic representative philemon velas term. Key congressional races in Tuesday's primary elections in Maine, Nevada, South Carolina, and Texas. Two South Carolina Republicans who crossed Trump have different fates. Rice, who attracted a half dozen GOP challengers after his vote to impeach Trump, had stood by his decision, acknowledging that it could lead to his ouster, but, saying he followed his conscience. Fry the House majority whip has served in the South Carolina state House since 2015. Trump had campaigned with fry earlier this year in the 7th congressional district, a Republican stronghold that includes the tourist hotspot of Myrtle Beach and a number of inland rural areas. Trump had vowed revenge against the ten House Republicans who crossed party lines to impeach him, for of the ten decided against seeking reelection. A 5th, representative David valadao of California is still waiting to hear the results of his primary election from last week. He is fighting for the second spot in a race where the top two finishers advance to the general election in November. Trump had less luck in his quest to oust mace, who managed to hold off a primary challenge Tuesday from former state representative Katie arrington and South Carolina's first congressional district, which includes Charleston, despite his anger toward mace for criticizing him over his role in the January 6th capitol insurrection, he congratulated her Tuesday and predicted she would win in November. In her victory speech, mace thanked her high profile endorsers, including former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, and former White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney..

For example, Los Angeles had spent a $1 billion in bonds allegedly on taking care of their 70 to 100,000 homeless people and nobody knows where the money is. Then let's get an attorney general in Nathan Hoffman, who will actually prosecute people. And then probably in the most important vote of the day, in San Francisco, vote yes on H, Hugh Hewitt Hugh Hewitt H, vote, yes, on H that will recall chase a boudin who was in prosecuting anyone in San Francisco. And what a surprise, crime has skyrocketed in San Francisco. All the liberals inside the beltway, by the way, are rallying to chase. They think he's just grand because they don't have to live in San Francisco. Now I'm not going back to San Francisco. I've been twice in four years. And the last time I went with the fetch a misses Hewitt, for her birthday, mind you, to see Hamilton when it was up there. And we stayed at the Ritz Carlton, and as we stepped over syringes and human waste and as we, as our practice, pray for every homeless person that you walk by because it's misery, the toll of San Francisco on the census is to overwhelming. We just said, we're not coming back. And I know a lot, and I love San Francisco. I love to go there. I've been there many, many times. I'd love to broadcast there in the old days. I've got the best signal in the world. It's just what chase a boudin and the crazy people running their school board and their city council and their county supervisors have done to San Francisco. Ought to be criminal, but it's not. But start by turning it around. Get yourself a prosecutor. Someone who will actually prosecute lawbreakers and then you will have a beginning. I will have a complete rundown on tomorrow, but I'm going to tell you many times. Juan, he Chen for controller. Nathan hochman for attorney general. Vote for your local Republican young Kim or Michelle steel or Mike Garcia or David valadao, Kevin McCarthy, of course, and vote yes on H in San Francisco. Now, I haven't said much about LA this morning. That's because I don't want to jinx it, but here I go. Rick Caruso might get 50%, which would be great..
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A Voter's Guide for California Republicans
"I would like you to please vote for, first of all, every Republican running for Congress. It's very unlikely we'll pick up any seats, but I sure would like young Kim and Michelle Steele and Mike Garcia and David valadao and of course Kevin McCarthy is going to win. He's got a pretty secure district. But they really took a cleaver, the alleged independent redistricting committee like everything else in California is completely bonkers. And so they're trying to screw an outline the other good ones after the dust settles. There's no tell them what happened in these primaries. But do remember young kin and Michelle steel and Orange County, Mike Garcia, Dave valadao in Ventura and the central valley, Kevin McCarthy, of course. But here's the key deal. You got to vote for lawn heat Chen for controller. You got to vote for Nathan hochman for attorney general. These are two serious people, and those are the two jobs. You're not going to meet Gavin Newsom. There's no one running. I don't know who's going to be the nominee against Gavin Newsom, but you can't beat that much money.

"Update on 93 double d Y A B C the Dow is up 100 Even at the opening bell to 31,059, the NASDAQ is up 9 to 9 12,081 and the S and P 500 is up. 6 to 3008 10. This life market update Brought to you by Anderson University Way Our online MBA will last a lifetime. I'm Kirk darling on the level on the go and don w y b c com 9 33 back to Mark and Rob. You're back with Mark and Rob. Just we'll just quickly list the 10 representatives who voted alongside Democrats to impeach President Trump. They included Liz Cheney. Of course, Jamie Herrera Butler, John Kokko, Adam Kinzinger, Fred Upton, Dan Newhouse, Peter Mayer, Anthony Gonzalez, Tom Rice and David Valadao. I don't know if I'm saying his name right, but that's who voted alongside Democrats. I suspect it's because the since the election just happened, they feel like in two years, people will forget. That they did that. So make sure that if you haven't written that down that you do so, um I wanted to. I forgot that we haven't even mentioned the fact that Trump had a five minute speech last night. Did you watch that? Did you see him? Yes, I did. It was Perfect in every way. And it infuriated me because I was like, Why did you not do this last week? Why This is the speech you needed to give as the violence was happening. As it was happening. This is exactly what you should have said. So it was perfect, but I also think it was just too late. Well, but again, you don't see when he's telling people to go home with people say, Well, Biden was out first. You don't know that Trump's speech was pre recorded was out in front of the White House was biting out first, or did they just not release Trump's speech? They being the media until Trump chose to release that speech on social media. Not he didn't He chose not to go on television, right? But my point is Again. You say this is the speech You wish he had given. He told people go home. Yeah, but he also had to make it about himself first. The entire beginning of that address was Ah, Listen. We lost this election with stolen blob. None of that mattered. In that moment. The only thing that mattered in that moment was him saying this violence is not okay, she said, but he but my point is, he didn't say it first, and he didn't say it also. Now you're so now you're mad that he says things that you you agree with what he said right about the election. Right? Yeah. I mean, I agree with that. But there is a time and a place for that argument. Just like yesterday. The one of the reasons his speech was so perfect because he didn't mention impeachment. He didn't even mention it. And it had just happened and he didn't mention it. And that was the right move. Okay, so so you're not you're not Somewhere. Right now. You're not mad about what he said. He said things that tens of millions of Americans believe happened. He told people to go home. He told people not to go get violent. But you're mad that he mentioned something that you don't like. No, I'm You're totally not getting this. You're not getting that those two speech. You know if you can't see the difference between those two speeches like what? Why? How can you not see the difference? How can you not recognize why so many people thought last week's address was lame and didn't accomplish what it needed to accomplish. And last night's was perfect. It was like exactly what we needed out of him last week. It wasn't about the election. It wasn't about election fraud, or or stolen this or or irregularities that it was totally about what was happening in the moment last week, That's all he needed to address was the violence that was taking place before everyone's eyes. I felt like what I was seeing was the beginning of the Civil War. At that moment, I didn't care about the election anymore. I cared about people not violently storming the Capitol. That's what everybody cared about. And instead of addressing that, and on Lee that like he did last night, he brought the election into again. That was the problem. Okay. I mean, I guess what again we get so hung up on stuff. Stylistic something right? That's Trump's entire problem. No, it's he told people to go home. He told people not to be violent. And when people start condemn this, that's what fuels the other side, right. Anything you're gonna pick apart when you're you who agree with what he said. When you start picking it apart. It gives them fuel. He didn't incite violence. He didn't tell anybody to do anything wrong. He told people to go home and we start picking a purpose and saying he incited anything but Saying, Well, this was so great that you give people feel I just disagree with you on this. I don't I don't think that it was the end of the world that he mentioned the election when he told people to go home if you start picking it apart to that new once again, a Peter told people stay or keep protesting what? That's one thing, but he didn't And when you start thinking about that he mentioned the election. I just think it gives fuel to the other side because he made it about himself. When what was happening at the Capitol was way bigger than Trump. The election wasn't about him. It's about American. See that this is where I think you and I disagree. Trump was not a voice for Trump. Trump was a voice for people. So when he's talking about the anger and hate, the people are feeling he's talking about the anger and hate that the American people who believe this was taken away from them. Their voting irregularities are feeling and as long as he's saying the stuff, which is Because people are listening to it, right. If you're gonna listen to it on one hand, you're gonna listen to it. On the other hand, I'm not as hung up on that, as you are because he told people to do the right thing, which is Don't be violent. Go home, and you know, in a sense, live to fight another day. But the problem is, eh, so I'm not disagreeing with your points. What I'm disagreeing with is that he gave Enough fuel to the people that are angry at him to begin with. He gave them enough fuel to be able to pick apart what he said last night. He didn't do that last night. There's literally not anything that you could take apart because his message was unequivocally clear and focused on the violence and disavowing the violence by boat with that, senior just like the guys in the animal house, where they decide what they're going to do with the end, no matter what they're gonna do. They're gonna throw us out anyway, no matter what he said they were going to find something. The this impeachment is such a joke. Look at how unserious they're taking it no matter what he said. They were going to do it because those people were there for him. And no matter what he said. They did it because of him. It wouldn't have mattered that look. CNN reported. This right. I'm saying I am on his side and it mattered to me. Well, okay, That's the thing. And so if it mattered to me who is on his side, then obviously it did give more fuel to people who are not on his side to say, See everything is about him. Everything is about Oh, he won in a landslide. He's going to use the landslide language right now, when people are literally dying in the capital, and he watched it happen for a while, instead of immediately coming out, like Joe Biden did. Was. I hate saying this stuff because I am a supporter of is, But I am real about when he screws up..
