A highlight from Introducing: History Daily
"Hello, my friends. This is Professor Greg Jackson, and today I am most pleased to bring you a little off -week treat. The tale of the Zimmerman Telegram, as told by the prolific history podcaster, the not one and only, and definitely not a U .S. Senator, Lindsey Graham. As many of you know, Lindsey is a dear friend of mine. He is the host of several podcasts, such as American History Tellers, American Scandal, American Elections Wicked Game, and the particularly brilliant historical audio drama, 1865. His company, Airship, does HTDS's sound design, and we have had many a long conversation about history, podcasting, presentation, you name it. All of which I credit to my growth as a podcaster. Well, all that to say, Lindsey also hosts History Daily, a podcast that delivers a relatively short episode every weekday, whose topic is always a meaningful historical event that happened on that precise date, be it a few years or a century ago. It's a wonderful way to make what might feel like just another ordinary day come to life as you learn about significant events on their anniversaries. For today's taste of History Daily, though, I'm letting the actual date slide to bring you a World War I related topic, the Zimmerman Telegram. I hardly have to tell you about its significance since we learned about it here on HTDS, but I hope you enjoyed Lindsey's telling in an episode dedicated solely to that event. And if you do enjoy it, be sure to check out History Daily wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. It's a foggy early morning on August 26, 1914, just one month into World War I. A German cruiser cuts through the Baltic Sea, laying mines near the entry to the Gulf of Finland. The SMS Magdeburg works under the cover of darkness, steaming along until it comes to a shuddering halt. On deck, the captain curses as the ship runs aground in the shallow waters off a nearby island. The captain directs his crew to start throwing any unnecessary equipment overboard. He's confident that if they can lighten the cruiser's load, it'll pull off the shoals. But despite their best efforts, the ship doesn't come free. So left with no choice, the captain orders his crew to start lowering the ship's dinghings. As the men prepare for evacuation, the captain's mind goes immediately to the most precious cargo on board, a set of three code books used to write and decipher German communications. Quickly, the captain orders a signalman to fetch the books. But as he awaits the crew members' return, he gazes out at the horizon. A break develops in the fog, and the captain sees two unfamiliar vessels bearing down on his boat. As they draw closer, he recognizes them as Russian ships. As the enemy ships open fire on the Magdeburg, the captain rushes to locate the signalman he sent to retrieve the code books. When he finds them, the captain orders the signalman to take the books, row out to deep water, and throw them overboard. The captain looks on as the signalman boards a dinghy with code books in hand and is slowly lowered down. But before the boat can reach the water below, incoming Russian shells explode all around it. The captain looks on in horror as the signalman is struck and tumbles into the sea, the code books still clutched to his chest. After the brief encounter in the Baltic Sea, the Russians rescue drowning German sailors and the bodies of those that cannot be saved. And when they drag aboard one body, still clasped within the dead man's arms, will be the invaluable keys to Germany's communications system. The Russians keep two of the three German code books they recovered from the SMS Magdeburg, but they pass the other onto the British government. They use it to establish a top -secret code -breaking operation. And armed with the code book, and others like it they will later seize, British intelligence is able to decipher most German messages. But no intercepted note will be as consequential as the Zimmerman Telegram, an inflammatory document that will persuade the United States to declare war on Germany after its contents are revealed to the U .S. government on February 24, 1917.

"Governor Ron DeSantis, keep coming back. Good to talk to you. I look forward to the next debate in November in Miami on your home turf. Thank you, Governor. Thank you. Take care. Bye bye. Jim Garrity is my colleague as a contributed editor of The Washington Post. He is a contributing columnist at The Washington Post and at The National Review online where the morning jolt comes out. Jim, you've been doing this a long time, not as long as me, but a long time. I think yesterday was the dumbest day to be a Republican ever. What do you think? The theme of today's morning jolt is what is the point of the Republican Party? What what is it supposed to do? What what does it exist to do? Because I feel like it's really not clear anymore. I went back and I looked at the the National Democracy Institute. That's a small D democracy. It's not capital D Democratic Party. It's a nonprofit. And they have this definition of what Democratic parties are, of what a political party's role in democratic system is. And I don't think Republicans do that anymore. I think that, you know, the whole it certainly doesn't have any clear ideology. It certainly doesn't have any clear sense of what its agenda is. It doesn't have everybody in the party pulling their like there's always been ideological diversity. There's always been this different ways of thinking. But, you know, once your party has a slim majority, well, we all got to hang together. Otherwise, you know, we're not going to have a speaker. And I'll admit, I was surprised. I had my entire and I my entire attitude towards McCarthy was, well, you know, yeah, you got a bunch of people who are complaining about him, but you can't beat something with nothing. So who do you replace him with? And the attitude of these eight Republicans was, well, we'll figure that out later. It's ten, Jim. I insist on including Dan Bishop and Ralph Norman, because while they did not vote to oust the speaker, they were part of the knucklehead five who started the ball down the hill two weeks ago on the defense appropriations rule. So Bishop and Norman are part of the ten Wile E. Coyote Republicans. And as you noted, many of these guys are either definitely running for statewide office and other offices next cycle. A lot of them are thinking about it. Rosendale is thinking of running for Senate. Norman was apparently thinking about running against Lindsey Graham in the primary. Gates says he's he says he I'm not thinking about running for governor of Florida, but everybody in Florida tells me I should. OK, yeah, sure. Right. You know, and so forth, like here's the thing, like it's tough to build consensus, but when some of these guys in your caucus don't plan on hanging around, this place is just a stepping stone. I'm not interested in actually it's much easier to burn your bridges. It's much easier to alienate your colleagues if you're going to if you got one foot out the door. So, you know. Jim, if you were Patrick McHenry and you are the speaker pro tem, you're running everything until you're replaced. Would you try and put into place a 15 month budget deal with the not insane Democrats and the not insane Republican wreckers and send it over to the Senate so that we can at least get back to focusing on binomics and China? Because this is truly a destructive, self-destructive act by these 10. That's an intriguing thought, I had not really put much thought into that scenario, Hugh, but I will point out that, like, so you got two vacancies, you need 217 votes to have a speaker. There are two hundred and was it 10, two hundred twelve Democrats right now. Right. Two hundred and twenty one Republicans, two hundred twelve Democrats. That's right. So you need five. So conceivably, if there are five House Republicans who get fed up with this. Who are worried about their own reelection in swing districts, suburbs, something like that, and they say, you know, I could live with a Henry Cuellar. I could live with a Jared Golden. I could I could live with one of the more conservative Democrats being speaker. Then conceivably, you could have a Democrat as speaker. They could get that 217 votes. I'm not saying it's definitely going to happen. I'm just going to say that is now within the range of possibilities. It's an interesting way to say to the, you know, the knucklehead caucus, oh, you guys think you're uninfluential now? Let's have a Democratic speaker of the House. Let's see how influential you feel then. Right. You know, the trouble with that, though, is you lose the gavels on oversight and we need oversight on justice. I mean, the place is a madhouse. The executive branch cannot be free of subpoenas for another 18 months. Well, Matt Bates has gone out there and saying the entire impeachment effort is failure theater and it's not doing it doing a darn bit of good. Yeah, I like my favorite Matt Gaetz quote yesterday. On everything, how every other House Republican has been doing the entire year. Yeah, my favorite Gaetz quote yesterday is not that one. It's I am not going to run for speaker. That's like he is also not going to compete in the giant slalom in the next Winter Olympics. That's like I'm not going to run a 230 marathon. That was great. Matt Gaetz, I think he should. Someone should nominate him. You know, yeah. Yeah. So big concession for him to, you know. What do you want McCarthy to do? You want him to stay? I do, because I know I've glimpsed the McCarthy machine. It is a giant machine, but it is usually put together by people who actually want to accomplish things. I don't know that we have a party apparatus anymore after this. And the damage is pretty deep. I agree the entire because I was skeptical anyway, and it wasn't skeptical that there wasn't criticisms of McCarthy. He's just, you know, he's a human being. He's he's going to make mistakes. You know, again, he's in a situation where he's got very little leverage. And I think he's getting like you could argue on the margins. Maybe you could like, you know, he's got he's got a small House majority. He doesn't have the Senate. He doesn't have he's got a Democrat in the White House. He's you know, there's only so much you can do. I thought that, you know, yeah, maybe you get rid of them, but you just realize you have no consensus on who the replacement is. So you end up going back to McCarthy. Now, McCarthy says he's not running for the position again. He says he's you know, he's done his time. I wouldn't be shocked if there is no consensus candidate to replace them. Like, I mean, you know, maybe. But if the whole point of this is like, well, we're not we're going to get rid of McCarthy and we're going to finally fix this with Steve Scalise. But Steve Scalise is fighting blood cancer. So he's looking OK, but he's going to be going through chemotherapy. God bless him. I'm so glad he's, you know, got through the shooting. OK, but like, is this a guy who's going to be in a condition to be running the House for the next couple of who wants a job? Who in the world wants to deal with Matt Gaetz and Nancy Mace, the two ends of the knucklehead caucus on the right and the left with whom you cannot reason? Because they're like the weather vane. And if it blows, they blow. So I don't know who wants to. I'm kind of in favor of McHenry remaining speaker pro tem for the rest of the session, passing a budget with with, you know, 90 percent of the Republicans and five percent of the Democrats and go on home and let the committees work because we're not going to get anything passed. Right. Well, I just meant to say, you know, how how great will Gates's move be if he I got rid of McCarthy and put a McCarthy lieutenant in the job for the rest of the what was the point of all this? Well, you know, you know, you turn the place upside down. Let me show you the point of all this, Jim. I thought I'd hit rock bottom until I went to my email last night and I got a Matt Gates email to me saying I'm under attack, fellow conservative. I need your immediate attention. I was attacked in capitals and booed in capitals by rhinos and capitals for underlining, asking you to weigh in and contribute to this fight. So I've hit bottom. I'm getting Matt Gates email. I got on his list somehow. I've done everything I could to stay away from his list. OK, first of all, can I point out, I know everybody I know is on it gets on every political email list, even though they've never signed up for anything. So that's that's problem number one. Problem number two is I get the tax and I get a lot of Democratic fundraising tax. No, I don't respond. I put this out. I put this out to your listeners and viewers. When you get a political text that really bugs you respond. You have angered me so much. I am donating the legal maximum to your opponent. And I want to see I will do whatever it takes to see your guy go down in flames. And they stop they stop texting. They they do. Oh, that works. Yeah, that gets their attention. You know, that won't work with Matt Gates, because that assumes that there's someone with a brain on the other end of the line. I want to conclude percent of House Republicans voted to keep McCarthy in place. And his attitude is ninety five percent of the House Republican caucus is rhinos. They just the whole. Well, OK. All right. Guess what? That means you're on the extreme. That means you're like that you what your definition of squish, your definition of rhino now encompasses more than nine out of 10 Republicans. That's the situation. Now, I just had on Governor DeSantis and I'll play the rest of his interview that I played aired. I talked to him and I'll hear it in the next segment. He's very serious and on message, Jim. He's running the anti happy campaign. He's running. This is hard. It's going to take two terms. We got to start at the top. We got to get rid of the people at Justice. And then we got to push down things of the state. And I mean, he's running a hard edge campaign. Will it work? I think if it doesn't work, all everything we're lamenting about the lawmakers on Capitol Hill is actually a reflection of the problems within the Republican primary voters in the electorate, in that we say, oh, these guys aren't these guys on Capitol Hill aren't serious. They're only interested in camera attention. They're only interested in fundraising and stuff like that. Well, if DeSantis goes out there and flops and let's face it, he's not he's over 15 percent in a whole bunch of polls. It's not looking great for him when he's saying all the right things, when he's got the most, you know, arguably the best record of any governor, Republican governor in the country, serious, knows the policy, knows the details, is the guy who can get it done. If you ditch all that for a guy who's ranting on truth social all the time, then it says the Republican Party isn't a governing party and doesn't want to be a governing party. And wants to be, you know, Matt Gaetz is the Congressman from Newsmax, and that's all the whole public republicans really want. You know, I'm not going to agree with that because I am Switzerland. But I will tell you that the DeSantis Trump debate is an important one and we ought to be having it. But the Democrats have got one in court and the other one blocked from serious media. It's truly a difficult situation. Jim Garrity over at National Review. I'll look for the morning joke this morning. Thank you for joining me. Welcome back America, I'm Hugh Hewitt. Chairman Mike Turner helms the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives. He hails from Dayton. He's a Buckeye. Congressman, good morning. Welcome back. Great to have you. Good morning Hugh, thanks for having me. Now, no one from Ohio joined the Knucklehead caucus yesterday. Crane, Buck, Biggs, Rosendale, Gaetz, Good, Mace, Burchette. And then Norman and Bishop are honoring members because they got the ball rolling. What happens in the House caucus? Now, I want to talk to you about Intel and we'll get to that. But what happens next? Sure. Well, there certainly is chaos on Capitol Hill, Hugh. And as you know, Kevin McCarthy was basically removed because he refused to shut down the government. And those who wanted the government shut down, which would have accomplished nothing, have now instead shut down the House of Representatives. So we're on pause now as the House looks to the successor for Kevin. And we certainly have some great talent. Hugh Scalise, obviously, is number two, is the natural successor. Jim Jordan has shown tremendous amount of leadership. Both of them would do an excellent job. But I tell you, if we're going to be able to move forward and get past this disruption, we're going to have to change the rules of the House so that no one can do this again. The rules previously, when Nancy Pelosi was speaker, would not have permitted this. We had started to change the rules to make certain that that we could function. If we're going to pick a leader for our team, we need to act like a team. And one person should and a group of 10 joining together should not be able to take them down. Now, Mr. Chairman, I am curious if you think it is possible for Speaker Pro Tem McHenry to put together an 18 month spending plan, bring it up with the 90 percent of the caucus that are normal conservative Republicans, get a few Democrats to sign on because they get a couple of things that they want and then send it over to the Senate, because this is a dysfunctional House with these 10 people and it's not going to get better. Do you think that's possible to do it that way? Well, my understanding and I certainly have talked to Patrick McHenry and he is certainly great to have him in this position at this point, because he'll be stable and he's also a great leader, highly substantive. But according to the rules, he only has the authority to be able to convene the House for the purposes of electing a speaker and a few other administrative items. So those types of big policy issues, I think, would evade him. But, you know, you're right that we've got to govern and people can't just sit on the sidelines and expect that we're going to get anything done. Will any of the 10 be in any way punished? Newt Gingrich wants them all exiled and primaried. I have no idea what the authority of the caucus is other than to change their office. I'd put Matt Gaetz in the basement if you have a basement. But what is that? What can the caucus do? Well, there's no question that these individuals have changed their relationship with the rest of the caucus, and I think our first number one job is to get a speaker elected. And then, you know, after that, we need to have a discussion as to what our rules should be so that this doesn't happen again. And then I think obviously an analysis of, you know, how was it that this was allowed to happen and make certain that as a team, we stay together and corporately, this isn't allowed to happen again. All right. Well, let me go over to the the writ that you have, which is House Intel. I just talked with Governor DeSantis about his campaign and I asked him the grand strategy if he's the president. And of course, it begins with China. Do you think that the Russia-China alliance is breakable easily in the way that some members of the other Republican would-be presidential campaigns are saying? Well, I don't know that it's that breakable needs to be totally broken, but it certainly needs to be diminished. And then the process for that starts with Ukraine and making certain that Russia is not successful as as Russia undertakes its aggression and its ruthless murdering of Ukrainians. China needs to see Russia not be successful there, one, that the world's democracies will stand against authoritarianism, but also, two, that Russia as a potential ally is weak and it doesn't have a great ability to execute as a partner to China. Now, Chairman, someone who's very wired told me yesterday that support for Ukraine is now a minority position in polling of Republicans, I'm kind of stunned by that because I've been around since a kid in the Reagan White House and we always kind of supported anyone who was against Russia, even when it was the Soviet Union. Is that your sense that half the party is against funding Ukraine? No, what I think it is, and we have to be cognizant of this, the Ukraine defense has been funded through a Democrat administration and through Nancy Pelosi's prior funding bills. And those are Democrat bills, which means they're loaded up. They have more money in them than they need and they don't they don't focus on the core function of defense. I think, you know, when you talk about a 40 billion dollar bill passed by the House and signed by Biden that said 12 billion to Ukraine, you know, there's a lot in it that doesn't need to be in a package like that. I think if the American people had confidence that what was happening was actually funding of Ukraine, just of military operations to be able to keep them, to be able to hold back Russian aggression, I think the American people understand that that's in our national security interests. It's certainly when you listen to Vladimir Putin, he says, I'm not stopping at Ukraine. We have to stop him then in Ukraine. And I think the American public understand that he also would control 30 percent of the world's wheat if he actually wins that war. And that might be good for a few farmers in America, but I don't think they want that kind of a win because it will drive up the cost of of of bread for everybody in America. And it's already six bucks a loaf.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Rep. French Hill and Sen. Tom Cotton on opposing the shutdown
"Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, another gold bump in honor of Senator Goldbars Menendez. I'm joined by Representative French Hill from Arkansas. Representative Hill is one of the smart guys because he's on the Intel Committee. That's handpicked and the Republicans are always serious about that. He's also on foreign affairs and financial services. Our old friend John Campbell used to serve on financial services. That's one of the smart committees. So Representative Hill, welcome back. Good to have you. But you are a Vanderbilt grad, so we're not going to talk about football. Seriously, you lost to Wake Forest and the University of Las Vegas. Does that, how does that go down with the Commodore Nation? Well, it's we're always waiting for golf season. Congressman, the House is going to come up with a solution or the government's going to shut down. What's it going to be? Look, Hugh, if we want to be strong, if we want to lock in the wins that we got in the debt ceiling negotiation, when we put forward a plan that actually cut spending year over year, change the regulatory focus, encourage more people back into the workforce, we need to pass these 11 remaining appropriations bills. And that was not gotten to over the summer, even though now think about this, Hugh, even though each of those bills is written at a spending level below the debt ceiling deal and each one locks in conservative policies. It's really so frustrating to me that those have been delayed from coming to the House floor, including twice over the last week by a handful of members when they're missing this big picture. Lock in the wins, cut spending, reduce regulations, get more people back in the workforce, get the spotlight back on Joe Biden's failures and off of the House. Congressman Hill, I don't expect you to speak ill of a colleague, but I can. Congressman Gates wants to be governor of Florida. Congressman Maryland native Matt Rosendale wants to be senator from Montana. Ralph Norman, Congressman Ralph Norman wants to be senator from South Carolina. Going to run against Lindsey Graham. And Congressman Dan Bishop wants to be the attorney general of North Carolina. So I understand self -interest. Those guys have no interest in governing. But do they really want to bring down the Republican majority? Because they're going to get crushed if they do this. Right. But by this kind of of tactic, you're going to end up with a Biden Schumer clean debt ceiling deal and with spending levels, certainly at the Biden McCarthy level, but weaker policy, weaker policies. Because in order to be the strongest negotiator, get the most conservative win, we need to pass the appropriations bills. That's why McCarthy's plan this week of trying to get the rest of the bills across the floor, at least 70 percent of discretionary spending, plus plus a four week short term stopgap spending measure measure that cut spending, repeat cut spending for that one month and put border in the spotlight by putting H .R. two on. There is no conservative that should vote no on that. And this is just arguing against ourselves. It's a huge mistake. Now, Congressman Hill, I call him now St. Kevin. I've known the speaker for a long time, and now I'm going to have him nominated to be considered for sainthood because that is a difficult caucus to deal with. When you've got four members who are leading the Nuckelhead caucus and my buddy Ken Buck wants a CNN contract, there really isn't any appeal to their self -interest. How do you move them? I mean, are you going to have to use Democrat votes? And can and can Speaker McCarthy remain speaker if he uses Democrat votes? Well, I think that's what we have to try every single day to put a bill on the floor and find out that, as you say, this small group is the tyranny of the tiny, as I describe it, is violating the majority of the majority because they're going to hurt the conservative cause. They'll cause us to lose the House. And that's certainly not in the interest of the conservative cause when we're on the cusp, potentially of beating Biden in the presidential election and winning the Senate back. It's ridiculous. You know, if former President Trump gets reelected and the House switches to Democrats, they will impeach him in the first week. Do these allegedly Trump supporting congressmen. And it's Norman. It's Maryland native Matt Rosendale is running for Senate in Montana. It's Ralph Norman and it's Matt. Have they heard from the former president that he wants to be impeached again because they sure are acting like they want him impeached again? Well, look, they don't even they spend what he says now. President Trump last week said use the power of the purse to get control of Joe Biden's two trillion dollars of extra spending. I agree. That's what the debt ceiling does. And that's what these spending bills do. And that's why we have to get them across the House floor. He did not say he Trump did not say shut the government down and act like knuckleheads. He said, use the power of the purse to get the most conservative deal. Get this country back on track. I agree. That's what we could do if we had those four people assist us get these bills across the floor this week. Well, I just their their incentives are to get ink. And I mean, their incentives are not the incentives to govern. And I don't know how hot it gets in the caucus. Can you tell us that our members of the caucus about had it with these guys? There's nothing you can do because they're running for statewide office. But if they had it and expressed it. Well, I think they have had it and expressed it in blunt terms, including calling them out that if you vote against the rule on the House floor, you're working with the minority party. You're working with Democrats when you do that. That is not acting as a member of the majority. And I think you're seeing the country respond to look at Moody's comments yesterday, look at the VIX up to day three percent. Look at the 10 year Treasury rate up over four point five percent. This is going in the wrong direction when we should be taking a win right now of cutting spending 24 over 23, getting better rules and regulations in place, countering Joe Biden's bad policies. And as I say, encouraging more people back to work through our welfare reforms. These are classic conservative Republican wins. And we're squandering the opportunity. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is kind of a Republican specialty in the House. So let's let's focus on that for a moment. When do you get a test vote today or tomorrow on whether or not the four will move or they will stay for? They've got more than four right now, but you've got serious people like Chip Roy are not playing these games. Will the Freedom Caucus bring whatever persuasive influence they have to bear on them? Well, we're going to bring a rule. The rules committee met Friday and all day Saturday, so we'll be bringing a rule up either tonight or early in the morning. That will be the first test case to see if we can move these spending bills, which includes state and foreign operations spending, which is at one point seven billion below twenty nineteen levels.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Fresh update on "lindsey graham" discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"Voters understand where Ron DeSantis came from, and many say if he had just waited his turn, at least on paper, he would have been the natural candidate for 2028. I think that the flaws in his candidacy would have shown then anyway, just as a shrewd observer of political horse flesh, but perhaps not. But let me put it another way. If you have a chance to see the Beatles or a Beatles tribute band, which one are you going to see? We're going to go for the original article. Donald Trump is the leader. In fact, he's the founder of the America First movement in American politics. Ron DeSantis is essentially establishment Republican who knows the words to the music, but I'm not sure he really believes them. Well, before we go, a couple of people sometimes have said nice things about Nikki Haley. I think they're deeply mistaken. I don't trust Nikki Haley. I have to say, I want to ask, what do you know? Because I know that you know about these things. What do you know about Nikki Haley? I agree with your assessment. She's George W. Bush in a skirt. She seems to be interested in endless foreign war. I mean, she's almost like Lindsey Graham in drag. This entire Ukraine first position that she exhibited in the debate is one that I don't think Republicans have much of an appetite for, or at least they have a receding appetite for. She is your unreconstructed neocon. She will never be president. She'll also never be vice president. And if Donald Trump has anything to say about it, she'll never be in another cabinet position. That is the exact brand of Republicanism that Trump's nomination in 2016 is a rejection of. Ukraine first, America second. The entire history of the conflict in Ukraine was never properly aired in the debate. Vivek Ramaswamy takes what I think is closest to the correct position, but sadly, he doesn't explain it nearly as well as, say, Robert F. Kennedy does, who understands historically this is not about Russia seeking to dominate Ukraine. It's about Russia objecting to NATO missiles pointed at Russia being based in Ukraine in violation of an agreement that this country signed with Russia. Unbelievable. Before we go, RFK Jr. has announced he's running as an independent. The question is whether that will take more votes away from Trump or from Biden or from whomever is put forward to replace Biden when he is eaten by worms. It's a two-part question, really. First, while the notion of running as independent sounds great, you can't just wave a wand and become an independent. You have to get on the ballot in 50 individual states where the process to get on the ballot is very expensive, very arcane, very manpower intense, and very truncated. In other words, you have to qualify in most cases with a certain number of pristine, certified signatures of voters, a very high number, within a very short period of time. Whether Robert Kennedy's current campaign has the structure, the organization, the planning, the money, the know-how to do that really remains to be seen. So we should not just assume that because it is his intention to run as an independent that he will succeed in getting on the ballot in enough states to theoretically garner 270 electoral votes. Based on what little polling I have seen so far, it appears to me that he polls disproportionately from Trump rather than from Biden or whoever the Democrat may be. But let's be very clear. Half of his votes come from people who would go to neither the Democrat nor Trump, but who otherwise would not vote. So we're talking about a relatively small number of votes. The chances of him carrying a state in a three-way race and thus throwing the election into the House of Representatives because no candidate gets a majority within the Electoral College, I think are remote. I think he's been a positive force. I like a lot of the things he says. I don't like him on the question of abortion. I certainly don't like him on the question of climate change, which I believe is a hoax. But now I think he's becoming a destructive force in terms of wrenching this country out of the hands of the globalists. And I think his candidacy in the end now is doomed. Watch the process of getting on the ballot very carefully. It is not a piece of cake. Wow. Well, just so good to have you, Roger. Thank you so much. We need to have you back more often because there's only one Roger Stone, folks. I want to remind you folks, people say, what can I do? What can I do? You heard Roger say it.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/11/23
"There stars are in the southern sky and if ever you decide... If my research is correct, this was what the Madison Square Garden crowd heard to begin the show that Mike was in attendance for when he was in New York. I'm just watching guys play tennis, but this is what Mike did. I bet it was awesome. Mike and I were in New York City at the same time doing very different things. Wait a minute. Don't say Mike and I were in New York City. You created quite the drama by your refusal to spend even a second of time with me when you and your beautiful bride were celebrating your anniversary. Well, excuse me for not peeling away for schmooze time on an anniversary event. It took Peg Hudson to set Joe and me straight. Let me give you the backstory. Yes, there's always backstory. Your research is spot on. That was what they opened with. They all lined up across the front of the stage, including the great Vince Gill. Oh my God. That show was unbelievable. I mean, when's the last time you've gone to a concert and for two hours you hear the band just do hit after hit after hit after hit? Who can do that? It's not a long list. The Eagles can do it. And they did it. Opened up by Steely Dan. And in fairness, there's an example, three quarters of the songs, I don't remember it. I never heard of, but there's a couple of hits there for some of the great Steely Dan. And then of course, the Eagles with what was an incredible night at Madison Square Garden. But anyway, you're here, you're in town. I'm in town with Joey and Peg. We're seeing the Eagles and we saw a couple Broadway shows and I figured when Mark and Lisa go do stuff, it's Mark and Lisa time. And I should have known that. So I delicately said, hey, you want to get together for lunch or dinner while you're here? I mean, we don't see each other in person very much. And of course, as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, oh, we're slammed. Thank you. We're very busy. We're very busy. We're slammed. We're a little maxed out here. We're maxed out. And so Joey and I got all up in arms about it Saturday night. My man, my man, buddy card is being revoked. We went to dinner at a place called Centurion, New York, and I had a table set for you and Lisa. I mean, we were in a private room on the 55th floor of one Wondervelt. I'm not kidding you. It was unbelievable. It's this brand new dining experience. And we had a room with a table of six with three of us. And I kept saying, gosh, what, how perfect that would have been for Mark and Lisa to have joined us. And Joey and I started bellyaching about your rudeness. And then Peg says, it took a woman to point out, are you guys high? Right. Well, she says, do you think they want to spend their anniversary weekend with you talking shop? And I said, well, first of all, we're more than just shop. It's not just work. We're friends. Exactly. There's all kinds of commonalities and tastes and the culture in our lives. And we're intertwined, of course, it would have been lovely. But it wasn't because you didn't give us the time of day. I know my priorities. Well, you're right. Okay. I mean, good for you. And I hope you had a lovely weekend. So what exactly should I have given up? Should I have, well, here's a weird story because we thought that one night was going to be at the Arthur Ashe Stadium for tennis purposes. And the other one was going to be at Elio's in the Upper East Side, the restaurant where I proposed to her in March of 2002. So which of those should I have cashed in, you know, go hang out with y 'all as much as wonderful as that would have been. I mean, is the proposal restaurant all that significant? Come on. Yes, it is. But here's what's weird. Here's the weird thing that happened on tennis day. Do you know how weird tennis is trying to attend it? If you want to go to the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th, you can get a ticket right now for the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th. But if you want to go see Novak Djokovic, which is what my bride wanted to do, because from 10, 15 years ago, we're watching Nadal and Federer, and she just loves these guys. And we have loved watching tennis together on the TV box. And I said, for this anniversary, I'm taking you to the U .S. Open. It's like, great, we'll go see Djokovic or other great players, Daniel Medvedev, the young Carlos Alcaraz, who may be the next Nadal. But if you want to see Djokovic, you can't. He's not guaranteed to play on a particular day at a particular time. You can nail down the day. We did not know until hours ahead of time that Djokovic and Ben Shelton, the American, would be the early match. And silly me, I thought, there's no way. He's got to be the late match. So I bought tickets to the late match at no small expense. But then all of a sudden it's like, ding, ding, ding. Nope. That is Medvedev. He'll be playing Alcaraz at night and beat him, of course, because it was Djokovic and Medvedev. And Djokovic won in the final that we watched last night. It was great. So here's what I had to do. I've never done this before. I'm a big fan of the secondary market. So I had these tickets on Ticketmaster. In the old days. You tell me you sold tickets because I was desperately trying to get tickets to go. I'm going to kill you. What? No. I wanted to go so bad. To the open? I wanted to go to the open so badly I could taste it. And I went on the secondary market. You know, God's been good to me and I have a pretty good living. I ain't spending $14 ,000 a ticket. Okay. You want to talk real dollars? I'm going to do this. I am going to do this for my bride. She doesn't do mink coats or huge jewelry. You know, she's just one of the million reasons I love her. We were in unbelievable seats for the night, for the night one in the hundred level, the loge level. And they were $1 apiece. ,700 $1 ,700 apiece. So $3 ,400 to put my wife and me in these magnificent seats. Then we learned, guess what? Djokovic ain't playing at night. He's playing in the daytime. So now I got to go get seats to that. But here's the thing, since the world expected Djokovic to be at night, that's why those seats were $1 ,700. The moment it was announced, I flip immediately to the day session, got the exact same seats on the other side of Arthur Ashe Stadium for $600 apiece. Boom. Then I sold, with my phone still in my hand, sold the ones that I had bought. Obviously, their price went down a little bit. So I didn't make it all back. But I essentially paid for the other ones with the sale of the first ones. It is a crazy modern world, man. It is a crazy modern world. And heaven forbid you would have said to your talk show buddy, you want a couple tickets to the open because I would have bought them from you direct. I wouldn't even know. Funny, I don't know how to transfer them to another actual human being. Well, there's a way. There's got to be a way. All right. I think there's enough about that. Here's my proclamation. If I come to Dallas for a weekend, I'll make time to see you and Lisa, okay? And I will find a restaurant with a private room and a seat for anybody you want to bring. All right. We'll replicate it, Texas. Let me share with you the sights and sounds of what I experienced this morning walking into work here at 111 Broadway in lower Manhattan. All the police activity as the commemoration, the bell is ringing, observing the moment the flight hit the North Tower. Twenty -two years, Mark. The moment you know well. Boy. You were in the Empire State. Sure was. And we're going to relive that today on the show as we always do. We're also going to play that beautiful faith -filled tribute called Silent Night that our friends at KRLA in Los Angeles made many years ago where God, you just don't believe it, but he has a plan and he is always, always with us, even in our darkest hours. So, you know, Axios had an interesting piece this morning about how young men and women enlisting today and joining the military. They don't have that sense of understanding or recognition of 9 -11. So many people became members of the military because of 9 -11. It was such a movement in this country and it was beautiful and it continues to be. And they're in their mid -forties now. Correct. You know, ish. And you think about, I mean, there are people of legal adulthood, 21 years old now, who were not alive for 9 -11. Absolutely. For them, it's not like it's Pearl Harbor or anything, but it's just something that happened before I was born. I got to wrap my head around that. It's interesting that I heard, that's a second time today, though, I've heard somebody say, well, it's not like Pearl Harbor. I really feel it is. Just to me, it's, maybe it's because of our age and, you know, we run around. Here's the crazy thing. You and I were both born less than 20 years afterward. Correct. After Pearl Harbor. So it was just something that had recently happened. That's right. Had a certain stigma and, you know. So I think about the people who joined the military on behalf of those who died on 9 -11 and fighting for our freedoms, fighting against tyranny. And Mark, I am stunned at the rapid way tyranny has come to our own governance. I read an article the other day in the New York Times. It's an opinion piece, to be fair. Trump indict Trump's indictments, the key players in the 2020 election effort. And Mark, they did one of these and I read it online, one of these comprehensive articles about how everybody who questioned in any way, shape or form the outcome of the 2020 election is a co -conspirator in the election denialism that is traitorous, that is traitorous, that's treason. Now, attack on democracy. Right now, never mind all the Democrats, including Hillary on down, who lined up in question the outcome of 2016. I guess that doesn't count. I'm sure the New York Times didn't do, you know, an extensive piece on this, but they've got everybody ensnared in this, Mark. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley. We saw Lindsey Graham almost got indicted in Fulton County. And all they were doing was saying, what happened here? And exactly daring to inquire. And that has become a tactic of the left. And I think COVID, tell me if you agree with me, COVID broke the door open on this. If you dared question the vaccine or if you dared question the lockdowns, you were shut down. You lost your social media status. Some people lost their jobs. Look at the, look at all the airline pilots we lost because they wouldn't get vaccinated. And that kind of opened the door. And now it comes to the, to election integrity and the New York Times and people who think like them want to weaponize our free speech right to question anything. And criminalize it. And so your metaphor is apt. It absolutely is. And I hope it goes a similar way that the COVID extremism did. And that is that the pendulum swings. And now we have relative rationality, even though I did see in New York City, people walking around by themselves in Washington Square Park, wearing a mask outside. But not many, right? Not very many at all. Listen, I almost wanted a mask to keep away from the weed smell. I asked a New York City cop, what's with the weed? And he told me, he said, look, it's legal. You can't have enough where you're trying to sell it. You can't give it to kids, blah, blah, blah. But it's pretty, and I said, has it been a problem? He said, not really. He said, I don't like it either, but it's people doing, so, but not to divert. So your metaphor is apt. I hope that the pendulum swings, as it did with COVID, and I hope it does it maybe even quicker because the, because the Fauci's and the various other people who hit us with this have been proven so terribly, terribly wrong and corrupt so relatively quickly. I hope that can happen on weaponization of election. Well, Mark, there's reason to be optimistic. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling, huge win for free speech where this appeals court upheld the prohibiting government officials from communicating with social media companies. There was a preliminary junction. The defendants include Joe Biden, the U .S. Surgeon General, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and the courts are agreeing that it is absolutely unlawful for government officials to try to censor speech on social media. Of course it is. Well, it took a long time. Sure. Well, listen, justice delayed is justice denied. But that's the pendulum swinging. And I hope you, speaking of New York, I hope you saw the New York -based shrews over on The View Friday, Anna Navarro and the rest of them now complaining about the illegals in New York City saying they need to be resettled elsewhere. Anna Navarro and the rest of them on The View want to kick illegals out of New York. How unwelcoming. Oh, how well, how unchristian -like of them. But listen, I heard somebody say this somewhere else and it's true. People like Greg Abbott and others have called Eric Adams bluff. Yep. We've called their bluff. We've said, all right, you want to be a sanctuary city? Here's what it looks like. This is it. Welcome to Texas. Every day, the amount. Welcome to El Paso. And, you know, so golly, I hope the pendulum is swing. Great to have you back. It is wonderful to be back. Great to kick off a big, big week. I'll be in Philly tonight for a big event with Dennis Prager and Pastor Robert Jeffers. Faith and Freedom Coalition event. And then back here on in New York Tuesday and then back to Florida. So, OK, this is crazy. Mr. Acela corridor. You're in Philadelphia for an event tonight. I'm on the 115 Acela. I love that train. In the morning? 115 this afternoon. To get there. But where are you doing the show tomorrow morning? From Philly, from AM 990. And then taking the Acela back. And I have to admit, I'm not a big train travel fan. Yep. I like that Acela. Yep. Pretty cool. And, you know, I think I've got to be in first class just so I can, as an observer, experience what that first class experience must be like. If you're going to do it, do it. You might as well go up front, you know, and or actually in the back. Sometimes the first class on the Acela is on the way in the back. But I still like walking over to the cafe car and getting a hot dog. Kicking it old school. Absolutely. Yeah. Love it. Love it. Big week. All right. Happy Monday, my friend. Happy Monday. Mike Gallagher there for you on this very. I'm just. Think identity theft won't happen to you? Think again. There's a new victim every three seconds in the U .S., over 15 million this year alone.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Fresh update on "lindsey graham" discussed on The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
"Right. But it's also where some of the presidential candidates are. It's where former President Donald Trump is and it's where the Republican base is. And I will say this about you're right about the majority of the majority. But they have gone along with this sort of behavior from the right flank for more than a decade and they've done nothing about it. At this point, what they should do to exact punishment is they should work with Democrats on legislation, on leadership, just to say, if you're not going to allow us to work as a team to get the most we can get as a party, then this is what happens. But the right flank never pays a price either politically or substantively for this kind of behavior. Well, I think that may in fact change because you've got 40 new Republicans. I went out and reported on the McCarthy gathering last summer and the summer before that. The thing collapses. He's built this amazing machine, this fundraising volunteer donor based machine, the support for new candidates machine, this teaching machine. You know, Juan Siscamani and Jen Kiggins and all these different new Republicans who are in there with the majority. They're all going to get wiped out, David. And they know Derek Van Orton is the toughest guy on a freshman from Wisconsin who McCarthy recruited and helped. He is the toughest guy on Gates. Everybody knows Matt Gates is a moron. How does that help him? Well, how does it help Matt Gates? Yeah, it helps Matt Gates because the Republican base believes that McCarthy is a sellout who should who should be getting more out of divided government than you and I know is actually possible. I don't think the Republican base believes that. Fighting wins. I don't believe the Republican base believes that. I think enough $5 and $10 donors do. I mean, we're talking about different Republican base to me means 51 percent of the Republican Party. I think no, I'm looking at listen, I'm looking at the 25 to 35 percent that you can guarantee to show up at any primary, anywhere. If you're looking at the broader Republican electorate, sure, as a whole, they're not going to go for this. But when you're looking at a House district that has been drawn to elect Republicans, Democrats do the same thing. Like my complaint here isn't gerrymandering, but you've got a a very overwhelmingly red district. Republicans who play this game, who position themselves like this, are not going to pay a price. They're not going to say you disrupted some very productive conservative policy and gave the Democrats a lifeline. We're going to elect a new Republican. They're going to thank you for fighting the fight and they're going to blame Republicans and rhinos. Well, we'll see about that, David, because we're going to reelect you when Dan Bishop runs for attorney general in North Carolina and loses. We'll see about that when Marilyn Matt Rosendale tries to pretend he's from Montana and get elected and his hat doesn't fit. We'll find out about that. When Ralph Norman goes down, fight Lindsey Graham. We'll see about that. And if Matt Gaetz, please, Matt Gaetz, run for governor, because you will get blown out, blown out. David Drucker, good to talk to you. Byron Donaldson, Michael Walter, a bunch of people want to be governor. That will be governor ahead of Matt Gaetz because Matt Gaetz is a morons moron. Stay tuned, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt. America, Bonjour, Canada, I'm Hugh Hewitt, live inside the Beltway where it is raining stupid. But Byron York has brought an umbrella. I hope Byron York with the Washington Examiner, you see him on Fox News as a contributor. Byron, do you have access to the secret plans of Matt Gaetz? Do you know what the plan is? Yes, I know what it's all about. And it's really, really smart. You won't believe it, but I'm sorry. I just can't tell you. I'm sure you know, it's like no one will tell me this thing you ever saw. It's really something else. No one will tell me what the plan is. I know that they're the part one is blow up McCarthy. But what's step two? Can you tell me at least what step two is? No, I have no idea what step two is. I mean, we have seen plenty of reporting that step one is just dominates is just a fix, a personal fixation with Gaetz. And now there is something it's kind of interesting. There is something about McCarthy that does seem to make a certain type of person really mad. Let me tell you who it triggers. I've never been able to figure it out. He triggers entitled people, Byron. Mack Gaetz is a legacy admittee to Florida politics. And he triggers you. Yeah, I saw you mention that last night on Special Report. But, you know, remember when when Boehner was run off by the purists and McCarthy would have been or could have been speaker then, but then he was rejected. And then Paul Ryan came out and reluctantly sort of took the job. I don't I don't know. I've never, never understood the antipathy to McCarthy. You know, McCarthy has always struck me as incredibly well-prepared, extremely hard worker, you know, like knowing everything about every one of his members, thinking through each race and each fundraising issue and all of that. He's not a visionary, but, you know, is really, really quite excellent at what he does and why he makes people so mad, especially when you've only got is the majority for now? It's for now. Yeah, Chris Stewart had to had to leave and has not been replaced. And so you're talking about a four seat majority, which is essentially tied in a 435 seat house, and being able to navigate through anything is really amazing. And, you know, last summer I flew out to Wyoming to the McCarthy meet the candidates thing so I could interview people like Jen Kiggins and Derek Van Orden and a bunch of people were running. They got together and Elon Musk, Kevin called him up and the speaker got the not then speaker, the majority leader, then got him to come and talk to the entire people. Then I went to the McCarthy event this summer in D.C., just showed up over at the hotel where they were holding it and talked to people who had won. Once again, you've got incredible organization, very dedicated staff, a plan and a methodology. This blows up the bridge. And I just think of all they are giving the House back to the Democrats in 2025, just in time, if Donald Trump wins, just in time to impeach Donald Trump. I said that last night as well. Do they not get this? Does the former president not call up Matt Gaetz and say, listen, numskull, you're endangering my defense? They're also seems to me, I mean, they're giving Democrats power right now to I mean, isn't if Gaetz goes ahead with this and he did actually last night file the motion to vacate, they're giving Democrats right now the power to vote of whether this Republican speaker stays in office or whether another speaker or nobody becomes speaker. That's now really in the hands of Democrats. And so he's he's empowered Democrats right now. And you're you're absolutely right about the 2024 race.

"Our original music was composed by Leo Sidrin. We'll be back tomorrow with another big take. I'm Wes Kosova. Stay with us. Today's top stories and global business headlines are coming up right now. Broadcasting 24 hours a day at Bloomberg .com and the Bloomberg Business Act. This is Bloomberg Radio. President Biden is wrapping up meetings at the G20 Summit in India. In a closing statement issued Saturday, world leaders called for a just and durable peace in Ukraine. However, they stopped short of condemning Russia for its invasion and urged nations to respect each other's borders. President Biden says the U .S. will provide assistance to Morocco following a deadly earthquake if requested. At least 1 ,000 people are confirmed dead and hundreds more injured by Friday's magnitude 6 .8 earthquake. Biden said he is deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation in a statement this morning. The full final report from the special grand jury in Georgia that investigated former President Trump has been released. Jim Forbes has details. It reveals that the grand jury recommended charges against South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, former Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue, former Georgia Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler and many others who were not charged. The special Fulton County grand jury's decisions did ultimately result in the indictment of Trump and 18 others on felony racketeering and conspiracy counts. I'm Jim Forbes. The manhunt continues for a convicted killer in Pennsylvania.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is endorsing former President Trump during a rally in Rapid City on Friday. Noem said she would do anything she could to help him win the 2024 presidential election. Trump thanked her for the endorsement and complimented her on her policies in the state. He also called Noem a warrior for American values. The move is fueling speculation that Noem could become Trump's vice president pick. The death toll stands at at least 632 after a magnitude 6 .8 earthquake struck Morocco. Friday's quake hit about 44 miles southwest to the city of Marrakesh, a major tourist destination. The United States Geological Survey says this was the strongest earthquake to hit the country in more than a century. The Department of Justice is filing an appeal to the Supreme Court seeking to end the legal battle over Miffipa Stone. The commonly used abortion pill has been the subject of a nationwide legal fight since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. The Justice Department filed the appeal on Friday, urging the Supreme Court to maintain broad access to the abortion medication. The move came just hours after the manufacturers of Miffipa Stone filed a similar appeal. Full final report from the special grand jury in Georgia that investigated former President Trump has been released. Jim Forbes has more. It reveals that the grand jury recommended charges against South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

Dennis Has No Hope for the Trump-Haters
"Now there's a new indictment of President Trump From one County in Georgia Lindsey Graham said since when two counties not states if he if he if he is done something against the people of Georgia then The state of Georgia should should bring the indictment. Does that not make sense? Of course I I have no hope for people who hate Donald Trump to realize the damage being done to the United States of America with all of these indictments and The arresting of a former president than the head of the opposition I I'll tell you why I have no hope I was reading a piece in the New York Times written by a professor of law Saying how much damage is being done to the country because of these indictments of President Trump. I Don't know if he's a Trump supporter or not. It doesn't matter. I I I have great reservations about his ability to win if he's nominated Supported him while he was president because he was in fact, generally speaking a terrific president But that doesn't matter you can hate the man all you need to do is love the country and I'll tell you why I hold little hope For the left for the Democrats to understand with the damage done That article in the New York Times, did you happen to see it he was he was in the George W Bush administration the professor Who wrote that? So, of course as I always do I went to the comments. There were literally thousands of comments

I was watching the other day I'm actually not a huge Martin Luther King fan or whatever super flawed guy But I was watching the last the audio was listening the audio of the last speech that he gave the night before he was killed April 3rd, 1968. He was killed the next afternoon And he gave this speech and he had just been like cheating with a bunch of different women. Okay. Yeah He had a tendency. Oh my gosh. No, he was like a ridiculous out of control But he gave this speech in which he clearly predicted his own death Like there's no doubt if you listen to this that God is speaking through Martin Luther King and I and I get I don't like Martin Luther King's program. I don't like his behaviors a lot of You know worshipping Martin Luther King is absurd to me, but I gotta say if you listen to that speech God is speaking through Martin Luther King. There's no other explanation for that and you're like, well, that's kind of consistent with what we know We're all flawed the people in charge tend to be more flawed But it doesn't mean that they're not capable of greatness So let's just be honest about it The second you have to feel the need to pretend that you're perfect you become a liar and you become paradoxically even less perfect Become a member members dot Charlie Kirk calm buckle up everybody here we go Charlie what you've done is incredible here Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

I trust Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrew and Todd come One of the things I don't like is how these this primary is Ruining some people's friendships. I'm not gonna let that happen people know where my loyalties personally lie and I Got to tell you there's there's some really great people that are advocating in different camps We need to keep those bonds strong for those buying strong for just no other reasons and it's the right thing to do Great American and one of the sharpest minds in the movement Dave Rubin joins us Dave. Welcome to the program Dave How's this primary treating you? I'm sure that it's it's been uplifting fun You know, and I'm sure you just want it to go on for another two years Well first off early I want to say that no matter what happens in this crazy circus that we are all endlessly sucked into and cannot get out of the orbit of You and I were friends before all of this and I will be friends after this even if temporarily We're on I don't even want to say opposite side It seems that we're both I would say in different camps or but we're on Team America Dave We're just wearing different jerseys in the primary Is that fair to say that is fair to say and that's also why and I think you were kind of getting to this in That intro there. That's why it's been so disappointing to see the level of Craziness, I would say coming far more out of one side than another which is defending itself for the most part Because I've really really been trying it and for the people for your listeners and viewers that watch my show I have really been trying to stay above the fray to the best of my ability I am not perfect at it. Just like you are not perfect at it and and often politics brings out the worst in all of us But I think the best we can do right now is fight for the things we believe in and the people that you think And accomplish those things at a political and cultural level. That's what I'm doing that's what you're doing and and that's what many other people are doing and and hopefully if you do it with a Degree of honesty and integrity. I think you'll survive either way and I think a lot of people are kind of putting that aside And Dave we've done a lot of fun stuff together and we're gonna keep on doing it I mean we went to UC Berkeley together and you had your briefcase robbed from you in the early days of San Francisco Well, you didn't tell me I couldn't leave a bag in a car outside of Morton's That's right. It was in it was in a security car outside Morton's near the Transamerica building and Dave lost everything So Dave, I want to actually give our audience a fair opportunity here and this is not a gotcha in any way Just make the case for Governor DeSantis is policy agenda how you think the campaign is going Obviously, we've been you know voicing my personal opinions on President Trump's agenda what he's doing I want our audience to be able to hear all sides of it. You know, you're a very articulate I could say spokesperson for I don't not officially but obviously advocate Kind of make the case especially to our conservative audience. And then secondly, how do you think his campaign is currently going? Well, first off just to be clear I'm not a spokesperson I am not paid for you know By the campaign or anything like that. I would not even if they offered me money. I wouldn't I'm doing what I think is Right. I tell people what I think for a living and my life Literally my life and the life of my family and my employees who are in this room and them who work remotely But many of them who live in Florida and the two companies that I moved to Florida is all enriched by the things that Ron DeSantis has done here in the great state of Florida. I left I don't know that anyone in the entire country left California fled California more publicly than I did about a year and a half ago to move to the free state of Florida I would say and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this if you are a I would say right leaning person meaning you are Let's say a disaffected liberal or you're a traditional You know religious conservative or you're a libertarian something in that or you're just I said disaffected liberal But you're just sort of an old -school liberal who's a little confused about what time it is say like an RFK type You in essence should be loving every single thing that Ron DeSantis has done. I don't know one thing that Ron DeSantis Has not done that we would have wanted him to do Florida is safe. Its economy is absolutely booming We fund the police here. We're getting ESG out of our institutions We've done that which that's actually perhaps the biggest issue that people don't talk about that often because it's kind of in the weeds on How corporations are putting wokeness on all of us? I know you talk about it, but the average person doesn't and they certainly don't in corporate America. He has fought Disney He has fought the endless racialization of our children by getting rid of this AP African American Studies course That was in essence going to teach gender theory. We've gotten some of these books that are sexualizing our children out of schools He has done Literally everything that anyone right -leaning could believe in or could possibly want to happen I would say he's done one or two things that are a little bit more like right -leaning then then I will they're perfect for me Dave I got to say I love that stuff No, absolutely. So for example, Charlie, I'll give you one that you agree with DeSantis more than I do Which is the abortion one for me, Florida had Florida had 15 week Abortion ban and I've been to every Republican event in the year and a half since I've been here and I never heard anyone complaining About it DeSantis often said that he personally was pro -life And by the way, it's it's completely within his jurisdiction as the chief executive of the state especially when you win by a freaking crazy 1 .6 million vote landslide 20 % to do what you think is right and he has the Supermajority in the state Senate to make that happen. So he switched it six now I think it's possible that will hurt him in the in the general election I think at the primary it probably a little bit works to his favor But but I know he did what he thought was right and that's what he believes At he should use his power to do as the governor So I have a disagree with disagreement with him on that, but I think that's fine But I would ask you what is there anything that Ron DeSantis you're you're at least apart Oh, he's America's greatest governor. I've said that and I and by the way, I just I've said that repeatedly and some people say oh You're anti -de Santis. I said I'm not anti -de Santis. I've said he's America's greatest governor, but let me ask you Dave Is there anything can you what would what would you say would be your biggest my biggest complaint is the last six months? He's allowing consultants and Chamber of Commerce folks to run his campaign. He doesn't sound like the Ron DeSantis of last year I'll just be very honest. So so give so we can talk about the Ukraine give me like a specific example The Ukraine language, right? So the Ukraine language he was kind of dilly -dallying and flip -flopping on that at first. He was great His instinct was territorial dispute. Then he's talking about, you know more weapons for Zelensky and all that But honestly, it's also just kind of a vibe and a tone Dave where you know, the base for example I'll give you another example his miss handling of the Trump indictment I said that Ron DeSantis should have went down to Miami done a press conference showed that hey, this is my state Hey Vivek Ramaswami did it he ascended in the polls and now Vivek and DeSantis Vivek is working with Trump and everyone knows hold on a second But you're not gonna win the primary unless you understand Trump has a bait, you know has a built -in 50 to 60 percent But but hold on but if you listen to what DeSantis his words were related to the indictment He said he would not on the first indictment He said he would not extradite him and he's gone out of his way saying he's gonna destroy the very agencies I think has been more that's fair. No his policy fine But let me tell you how the base heard it Dave the base heard this and it might not even be fair I'm just telling you how the base heard it right because remember the base is like a lover scorned They hear one thing from a politician like Paul Ryan or Boehner and Lindsey Graham So they have a heightened sense of distrust and they love Trump and that's not going to change They heard Ron DeSantis go out of his way the first time to say well I don't know really what goes into payoffs to You know play boy. I'm not even saying that's fair That was just a joke and Trump makes silly jokes and sex jokes about everything like that The laws of Trump don't apply to everyone else Dave, you know that we're in this it's a different primary, right? The laws the guy is levitates. He's a once in a 200 -year, you know He says I'm gonna shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and he goes up in the polls. He attacks He's not a politician at this point. He's something beyond a politician, which I also think there's a certain demagoguery That's somewhat dangerous related to that. But oh, by the way, again, you know, I you know, I voted for Trump I like no, I know No, and I just so that was another thing and then finally I know that I'm a little biased when very biased when Ron DeSantis Didn't show up at our event that bothered me, right? It wasn't some sort of gotcha or trap I think he would have done very well I don't think he would have gotten booed or anything But here's what I would like to see out of DeSantis, you know When we go to a college campus you say hey if you disagree go to the front of the line I want to say I want to see somebody get in the arena and say hey I'm willing to throw out the script. I'm willing to just take any question. I'm willing to kind of just fight It's more kind of total and attitudinal Dave your reaction sure So look if in essence and we'll pick it up after the break if in essence your your point is oh I agree with Virtually all of the policies and nobody has accomplished more than this guy and done everything I want to do But but there's a little bit of a marketing issue here All right, I'll go with you on that and I think that can be dealt with but we'll pick it up on the other side Well, look, I will say this the base the base is very smart and they're constantly Looking in a way of who's gonna betray me next This is the advice I'd get I gave the DeSantis privately and publicly and right now the Rubicon has been crossed where they think DeSantis is gonna betray. I'm not even saying that's fair, but but I'm not saying it's fair. It's honest I mean Trump Trump has done far more to betray the truth and and in a certain way the Respect of the base every time he lies about dissent, right? So when he lies about kovat in Florida who was the best governor for kovat in Florida kovat in the country DeSantis 100 % But who has more who has more in who has done more work and more praise for Paul Ryan Is it Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump for Paul Ryan? I can't I can't either way but at the same time we could talk about getting after the break I can't speak either way. I mean I could show you plenty of videos of I'm gonna tell you this this line of what you're getting at is not persuasive to the base and I'll explain why after the break Because I'm telling you the truth. I'm not trying to persuade anybody Okay, but no lecturing the base is not how you win a primary That's that what you're doing is why he's losing because they want to hear well Not necessarily the little things Trump got wrong. They want to hear a vibe of a fighter that's gonna go crush the unit party in DC Hey everybody Charlie Kirk here every day we heard about another familiar brand selling out their companies and going woke Americans are sick and tired of having left -wing propaganda jammed into every product they consume woke mobile companies are no different for years They've been dumping millions in the left -wing causes and we had to take it because you need a cell phone and probably thought there was No alternative.

That's patriot mobile comm slash Charlie Continue with us is a good friend of mine Dave Rubin We've done a lot of stuff together about the years the Rubin report David. I didn't Dave I did not mean to cut you off. Please finish the argument. Yeah No, it's all good at Charlie really like this is we would do this over drinks I want people to understand that like there is something that transcends politics here Well, let me ask you something because one thing that I've been confused sort of going off what you said right before the break Was that he's sort of that DeSantis has like handed this off to that glass of people or something Do you is it your position that that Ron DeSantis has anything to do with Karl Rove or Paul Ryan? Oh, no I because Donald Trump does that I don't think he does does that repeatedly and that's what all the people but Dave I'll be honest He's acting like he does He's acting like he might as well because he's acting and talking like Karl Rove is running his campaign. No, no, no No, hold on Hold on you do you have any evidence or any reason to believe that Karl Rove or Paul Ryan have anything? No, except for the fact that Fox has been very favorable to DeSantis and Paul Ryan sits on the board But that seems like a reach and and so what I'm not gonna do Dave is I'm not gonna go through every Truth social and go through all that with you know Trump saying But sure we don't have to go through all of that except but it is important I think to some degree because I agree with what you're saying about The base in that in their passion for Donald Trump and why it's important and shouldn't be ignored and by the way When I'm frustrated with some of the the surrogates let's say or some of Trump's behavior lying about Florida and kovat that sort of thing That's that's a direct frustration. It's not a frustration with the people that support him But for example, I mean I have the exact quote right here from DeSantis about a month ago I actually did a little research before I joined you today. This is a direct quote from DeSantis I have not spoken to Paul Ryan since I was elected governor and I've met Karl Rove won I really think it's important that your viewers who are the base understand that because if you listen to any of the surrogates and Donald Trump himself They're implying that he's somehow working with these people and that they are in charge of his campaign and everything else and it's simply not Okay, and I think that that's important. That's important to know but know that that's that's fair. I'm glad I'm glad we cleared that up DeSantis has gotten favorable treatment on Fox and Paul Ryan as a board member there, but let me let me put that aside Let me just say though the type of campaign Trump was on with Brett Baer what two weeks ago? Fair enough. I would say though That was a that was a mostly peaceful interview as we would say But let me let me just put it with the type of campaign I want DeSantis to run is like the vague which is there needs to be a sign of respect towards Trump But I don't feel with this from DeSantis. I'll be very honest DeSantis is a governor Thanks to Donald Trump that primary was not going well for him, right? So he's challenging the alpha beast, right? He's challenging the guy that did kind of Anoint him to win the primary and eventually the general the vague is smart The vague is reading the room that these indictments the amount of criminalization of Trump really Increases people's fervor of the injustice towards him. So DeSantis has a choice Do you run kind of a policy technocratic campaign? which is what he's running and I don't think it's going very well or do you read the room and you realize the base has an attachment to Trump and I'm going to respect that it seems as if it's in some kind of murky middle. I guess my question is Dave How do you think the campaign is going? Right. Well, I would say that first off just quickly on the Vivek things I don't want to spend too much time on that I mean It's fairly obvious to anyone paying attention that that Trump and Vivek are coordinating right Vivek is doing all Endless attacks on DeSantis no attacks on Trump and all of the Trump surrogates online, you know who they are They're always pumping up Vivek because Vivek is going after DeSantis Also, if I was to believe any of the polls and national polls, by the way mean absolutely nothing We're also seven months away from the first primary I mean really think about that like the first primary isn't until January of next year and Everyone's going crazy as if oh my god on any given day. Like the whole world is gonna spin out of control The you would never you would never if you were so confident of your lead you would never spend all day Attacking the number two guys. So that's just a little insider political jockeying However, I will agree with you that in terms of some of the strategy of the rollout They probably should have been more aggressive. I do see that changing. Look DeSantis just went on Russell Brand last week He just went on CNN for the first time last week I think he's doing Megyn Kelly this week if I'm not mistaken and she's been very very critical of him Russell's a lefty. I mean he certainly isn't you know, no one that you would call a traditional conservative by any stretch I would love to see him go on the view sit directly with those women and call out their endless lies about Florida, you know Anna Navarro who lives in Miami who rails against Florida every day He should sit right next to her and call her out so if you want if your question is really do you want to take some of the Anger that the base has because of the way Trump being treated and he's being treated horribly And I completely agree with righteous. I agree. I agree There's probably some way to do that But I would also say to some extent if you just want to view this if you just want to view this in the political lens Maybe this is why Trump should stop lying about DeSantis every which way and you know, he is Everything he says about DeSantis is a lie. Everything he says Dave. I'll be honest It's also a lie when DeSantis goes after Trump and says he was pro Fauci and all that. That's just not true But but and it is what it gave Fauci an award on the way out. We're out of time Dave Rubin.

My PhD weight loss calm Okay, really important discussion we're gonna have here It's a sensitive topic and there's some pending legal challenges around it So we sent out this tweet and it's gone totally viral. So joining us now is Preisha Mosley Who is a D transitioner and attorney Josh Payne who is the attorney for Preisha? And I sent out this tweet both of you by the way, by the way, welcome to the program I said this tweet up Preisha Mosley is a 25 year old North Carolina woman who is suing the doctors who aided her sex change According to Preisha these doctors approved cross -sex hormones and a double mastectomy after consultation as brief as two minutes They also told her taking testosterone shots would allow her to quote grow a penis in Reality Preisha was just a 15 year old batter battling depression anxiety anorexia Her parents fought against her transition, but were steamrolled by enablers posing as medical professionals Preisha and Josh. Welcome to the program I understand there's some legal sensitivities around all this and so Preisha tell us in your own words your story and Why you're pursuing a lawsuit? Um, so my story is that I was a very troubled teenage girl I had a very sudden hard and strong puberty and Basically, my body grew faster than my brain. I Started receiving attention from boys and men who just wanted to touch me And Then at 14, I actually experienced a sexual assault which led to a miscarriage and totally divorced me from womanhood and then at 15, I was online in the pro Anna community and that's a self -harm community where people have anorexia and enable each other and Transgender adults came into the community and started telling us that we couldn't eat because we were born in the wrong body and we were boys and Eventually, you know after hearing an onslaught of this for so long and proof, you know I I ended up believing it and I was desperate for a cure. I was suicidal and had attempted And I just wanted to feel better. So I Was met by medical professionals who said the same exact thing You know you you have a disease you were born in the wrong body, you know you and so on and so forth Um, and I'm bringing a legal case because I've come to realize that I am not a boy I wasn't born in the wrong body. I I was mentally ill I needed therapy I I needed someone to care for me. Um But that's what happened it's a very powerful and by the way courageous testimony that you have Josh You're the attorney for Preisha Josh. Can you fill us in on who Preisha is suing and what is the complaint? basically detailed That's right, Charlie as we allege in the complaint Preisha is seeking justice because she feels that she was deceived and misled into a Medicalized gender transition being placed on what they call cross -sex hormone therapy which in actuality is injecting large amounts of testosterone the male hormone into her female body and also having her healthy breasts removed by a plastic surgeon at age 18 after she was put on the testosterone at age 17 and Doctors and the counselors who were involved in leading her down this path and the the tragedy of it is that It happened and Preisha was left with her mental health issues unresolved Contrary to the promises that were made that these medical interventions would in fact cure her mental health Problems and issues and that they were a treatment for those mental health Issues but as alleged in the complaint that did not happen Preisha was left with her mental health still untreated and unresolved and with additional significant mental and emotional injuries and of course the physical injuries That were brought about by her being on testosterone for years and without her body parts So I just need to editorialize for a second There are thousands if not tens of thousands of other young people that are now walking into the same circumstances that Preisha Was nine years ago.

Mike Reviews the News of the Day
"Does Chris Christie have a path to the White House or even getting the nomination? Most people in New Jersey would not probably answer that in the affirmative. Speaking in New Jersey, the current governor got booed off the stage at some event over the weekend. Phil Murphy was at some festival somewhere and they booed the dickens out of him, it was pretty rough. There's a lot of booing going on right now. There's a lot of pushback. Bud Light is no longer ranked among the top ten in the United States after their marketing disaster. New YouGov poll, the public approval of the beer slumped so much, it fell out of the top ten. Also, there's a report in the Wall Street Journal, Disney World has hit a ten -year low in terms of park attendance over the Fourth of July. The company is now giving discounts for hotel rooms at Christmas time, which is normally a peak time for the parks. The movies are losing money like crazy. It looks like Disney is paying a very heavy price.

"Mike Gallagher. Hello, Mr. Gallagher. This is Eric from Central Florida. I don't feel bad about some satisfaction about this fellow getting stabbed in prison. I think the Bible says an eye for an eye. And it's also said that what goes around comes around. He deserved it. Don't feel guilty, sir. Take care. Bye bye. Hey, Mike, don't feel bad about yourself. It says that vengeance is mine, says the Lord. So whatever happened to that man happened to him. OK, bye. Well, I guess time will tell hard for me to believe that he's going to be on the ticket. Incidentally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been tweeting out about Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham, who was just soundly booed at President Trump's rally last week in South Carolina, largely, I guess, because of Lindsey's position, Senator Graham's position on Ukraine. That's what a lot of people told me was the reason they look at him as a warmonger. Here's RFK Jr. tweeting Lindsey Graham is basically calling for World War III. RFK says, do you understand what he is actually proposing here? NATO is a mutual defense treaty. An attack on any member is an attack on all. Lindsey Graham wants to work with Republicans and Democrats to go to war with Russia. And I keep asking this question over and over again. How absurd it is that the Lindsey Grahams of the world seem to be all on board with, I guess, potentially a nuclear war with Russia. RFK Jr. asks on Twitter, hey, America, is this what you really want? War with Russia? Seriously? A lot of people say it has to do with the Uniparty. It's all about the Uniparty. And they love stoking the war machine. Somebody like Tucker Carlson stood up to it, and look what happened to Tucker. Portions of our show brought to you by MyPillow.

And yet smart people like Mark Davis say, well, how could he drop out? How can that possibly be? There's no way that could happen. It would not be enough time. You know, I love that Mark. Mark uses the argument when when people are suggesting that Gavin Newsom can't catch up to Joe Biden. I mean, to Donald Trump. Mark uses the argument that, well, it's still a long way away. There's still a long time before that's going to happen. Well, if there's a long time, then there's plenty of time for Joe Biden to drop out and for Gavin Newsom to come along and be the 2024 nominee. What's so hard about that? What 800-655, Mike? Tell me why you think that's inconceivable or whether you think Mark is right. 800-655-6453. To me, it's perfectly plausible. It's impossible to believe that Joe Biden is going to be the nominee. It's got to have to be Gavin Newsom or Pete Buttigieg or somebody else, Michelle Obama. I don't know. It ain't going to be Joe Biden. Axios reports on the New York magazine piece that was supposed to be a puff piece on Joe Biden, and the article really confirms that he's a world class jerk at the office. He curses people out. He tells people to get the F out of his office. He hangs up on people. He yells at people. He brow beats his underlings. He's horrific in the way he treats people. That's according to New York magazine. You understand these aren't conservative publications turning on him. The liberal media is turning on Biden. He ain't going to be the nominee. 1-800-655-MIKE.

But first, I want to spend some time talking to you about my belief, my insistence that Joe Biden won't be on the ticket in 2024. Am I crazy?

It's SEVEN Grandchildren, Mr. President
"An opinion piece over the weekend headline. It's seven grandkids, Mr. President. And it's an article that takes Joe Biden to task for the callous, cruel way he is ignoring the existence of his seventh grandchild. And this, of course, has to do with, I guess, a child that was born out of wedlock to, I guess, it's Hunter, right? Isn't it Hunter's daughter, supposedly? And the family doesn't like to acknowledge her. I think she lives in Arkansas. I don't particularly care. It's family and family is messy and it's very personal. But here's the fascinating part of this op -ed. It's Maureen Dowd in the New York Times. Do you recognize the significance of Maureen Dowd from the New York Times turning against Joe Biden? Wow, he's done. He's not going to be running. There is no way he's on the ballot. And I just got into an argument with my pal Mark Davis. Mark was feeling feisty. He's been on vacation. He and I, you know, haven't been together for about a week and a half. I was gone for a while over the Fourth of July. He was gone. Now we're both back. Mark is completely mystified. He's baffled. He's confused and does not understand why Joe Biden, how he could possibly not run in 2024. It's so simple. All he's going to have to do is say, I'm not going to run in 2024. Why is that so hard for people to recognize?

Sen. Lindsey Graham: Hillary Clinton Did Much Worse Than Donald Trump
"Of state who's a Democratic candidate for president has people take a hammer to social media devices and break them apart. Apply a bleach bit to a hard drive to erase emails. Allow classified information to get on felon's computer. Anthony Weiner, you haven't even mentioned that. Most Republicans believe we live in a country where Hillary Clinton did very similar things and nothing happened to her. President Trump will have his day in court, but espionage charges are absolutely ridiculous. Whether like you Trump or not, he did not commit espionage. He did not disseminate, leak, or provide information to a foreign power or to a news organization to damage this country. He is a not spy. He's overcharged. Did he do things wrong? Yes, he may have. He will be tried about that, but Hillary Clinton wasn't. Your old boss committed perjury in a civil lawsuit, lost his law license, obstructed justice in a dozen ways, and he didn't prosecute it. There you go. That's it, Lindsey. Next up, Alina Abba with Shannon Bream on Fox, cut seven, go. Any chance that he would take a plea deal, especially there if is, you know, he's, he's got the state indictment in New York. Um, he is facing another potential federal indictment six on charges.

We live in an America where if you're the Democratic candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, you can set up a private server in your basement to conduct government business.

That may not be acceptable on this show. Yes, I don't like what president Trump did in certain aspects. I don't like that Joe Biden had classified information on the garage. I don't like that Mike Pence carelessly took classified information. I don't like any of that. But what I don't like is a system in America where the secretary of state, who's a democratic candidate for president, has people take a hammer to social media devices and break them apart, apply a bleach bit to a hard drive to race emails, allow classified information to get on a felon's computer. Anthony Weiner, you didn't even mention that. Most republicans believe we live in a country where Hillary Clinton did very similar things and nothing happened to her.

Graham met with Ukraine's president zelensky on Friday, zelensky's office later released an edited video in which senator Graham says the Russians are dying and describes U.S. Military assistance to Ukraine as the best money we've ever spent. Senator Graham appears to have made the remarks at different times in the conversation, but the short video by Ukraine's presidential office put them next to each other. It caused outrage in Russia.

Once again, central bankers have told us they intend to raise interest rates by three quarters of a percentage point to 4% this week. But there have also been some hints from some fed officials and some data that they might dial back to a half point rise in December at a quarter point rise after that. Much will depend on how the economy develops, but markets would like a better idea of just how high the fed will go. And that's Michael McKee reporting. Sony shares are up 12% in Tokyo, the company beat quarterly earnings and raised its full year outlook. Amazon is freezing, hiring in its profitable advertising business.

"Founder of colony capital, took the stand in his own defense and testified that his support for his longtime friend Donald Trump proved disastrous for him and his company. And Supreme Court Justice clarence Thomas gives Republican senator Lindsey Graham a reprieve from testifying before the special grand jury investigating criminal interference in the 2016 election in Georgia. Republican senator Lindsey Graham has been fighting a subpoena to testify before a special grand jury in Georgia since July. Now he's asking the Supreme Court to intervene and justice clarence Thomas has done that, at least temporarily. Graham is arguing that the constitution speech or debate clause shields him from having to testify. But a federal court rejected his arguments and ordered Graham to testify before the grand jury investigating whether then president Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in the state. That order was a firm unanimously by a three judge panel of the 11th circuit Court of Appeals that included two Trump appointees. Fulton county district attorney Fannie Willis wants to question Graham about two phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad raffensperger in the weeks after the election. Raffensperger told CBS he took Graham's questions about absentee ballots as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes. During our discussion, he has to balance clean match back to the envelope. The absentee ballots be matched back to the envelope. I explained our process after it went through two sets of signature match at that point they were separated. But then senator Graham applied for us to audit the envelopes and then throughout the bouts for counties who had the highest frequency error of signatures. And that I tried to help explain that that's because we did signature match. You couldn't tie the signatures back anymore. You know, to those ballots, just like with if you voted in person, my name is not on my ballot. And so it can't be tied back to me. It's really something that's been around for over a hundred years.

"Not likely to get very far unless of course Republicans managed to get both the Senate and the House. So what's the point then, Rick, if this doesn't have a path, why muddy the waters with this messaging or is this actually what Republican voters want to hear? You know, Republican voters like hearing this, especially pro life Republican voters, he was surrounded by women activists in this area, all of whom he's been working with for three decades on this issue. You mentioned it. He's done this bill repeatedly every other year for the last 20 years since he's been in the United States senator. I mean, this is not an unusual Lindsey Graham play. I mean, if anything, the only thing different this year is that he's gone exactly what you described from a 20 week ban to a 15 week ban based on what he's alluding to, which is a new new level of knowledge on science. But look, this is, you know, this is standard operating procedure for the vast majority of the Republican Party. So if you're Lindsey Graham and you want to continue to be seen as a major national player, you're going to actually talk about nationalizing an abortion ban and so a better question probably Rick would have been what is this how does this play with the Republican strategist in you? Is that the speech that you wanted to give today when you could have been harping on the CPI all morning? Yeah, no. You ought to be given this speech next year after the midterms, right? I mean, he's not running for reelection. This isn't a naked political grab on his part to win a reelection. This is just him trying to position himself as a player nationally. And the reality is, whatever level of insecurity he's got, you know, that he doesn't have to worry about that. He's a national player, whether he likes it or not. And there are days when he probably wishes he weren't. So yeah, this is off message. And if you're Mitch McConnell, you're scratching your head going, you know, look, Lindsey, I don't disagree with what you're trying to accomplish, but did you have to try to do it today? Just like we were talking about the Biden administration being a bit tone deaf on message today. So was Lindsey Graham? Yeah, we have found the nexus year White House press secretary karine Jean Pierre Jeannie says, in a statement that was put out on this Graham's Bill as, quote, wildly out of step with what Americans believe. It's sure difficult to quantify that. I know that Democrats think that this really is a winning issue going into November, but a lot of this is conjecture based on very few races since the row ruling, right? It is. I mean, you know, we don't know what the impact is going to be, but what we do know is there's a big difference sitting here today in September 2022 than there was 6 months ago. And that difference is the Dobbs decision. That has resonated whether impacts voting in the midterm we don't know. We know what happened in Kansas, we know what happened in New York 19. We know by reports there has been an increase in voter registration among women, so the potential is there for this to be an issue.

How long does the child say Republicans argue that impeachment shouldn't apply to Mr Trump? Anymore because he's now a private citizen.

Small government conservative, but he was willing to compromise make compromise with Democrats as well at times so I think we're going to have a good coalition in the center, and I'll throw in another name. Who I guy had known since 1994, who had been especially hard on past four years on my show, but just now learning the Lindsay you know, Lindsay Graham is always always ready to make a deal with a guy who's in charge. You like John McCain when we can get the nomination he liked Donald Trump and Donald Trump was president Ahn die. I think most people have probably seen the clip of Lindsay talking about Joe Biden starting to tear up talking about how what a great American he was and how much you love him. I suspect you'll find a few people like Lindsey Graham, who may surprise all of us. And be willing to work for bipartisan efforts, especially especially on the international stage because While people like Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham have bitten their tongue for the most part and followed President Trump on foreign policy matters. There is no doubt that the Lindsay Marco and a good number of Republicans or form or comfortable with Joe Biden's view of NATO, Joe Biden's view. Of our democratic alliances across the world. Then they were with Donald Trump. So yeah, I'm again. I'm optimistic. Maybe I'm being Pollyannish, but I don't think so. So the next question is more of a domestic policy questions. So it's outside the confines of the book. You such a wide sweep of that Truman that I'm gonna let the Let the question come across any way, which is Harry Truman was an early proponent of government supported health care in America. Do you think he gets enough credit from modern day Democrats for helping to start the long march towards Obama care? No, no. But you, you pointed out at the very beginning. Harry Truman really doesn't doesn't get much credit. Uh, from from most most Most Americans. A lot of people who picked up the book, said Boy, I've read a lot of presidential biographies, but I just haven't read that much on Truman, of course. David McCullough wrote an absolute masterpiece on Harry Truman. What was it 30 years ago? That's about 30 35 40 years ago on it really is it is the indispensable biography on Harry Truman. But most people just haven't been made aware of all the things that Truman did, but I will say when he left He was considered a failures of president. But most historians even before McCulloch's biography, we're looking back at Truman's presidency and said, Well, you know he was He was a very good president on then he started moving into the near great category, and now most historians I talked to say well, near great or great. Because no president over the past 75 years has impacted America's foreign policy more than Harry Truman on, I think I don't know your you certainly Cherries what your thoughts are on on that Do we still do We still basically live and Harry Truman's world at least on the international stage? Joe Scarborough. Saving freedom. I think we actually do. Cory Shockey American Enterprise Institute, right, because what Truman understood that That Wilson had initially suggested that you know the way to take Americans out into the world to get us to care about the shape of other people's outcomes really is American values and what What Wilson theorize Truman was actually a good enough politician to make happen, which is to make an international order. That was a macrocosm of America's domestic political order. Where self determination was how you came TOC a political community and that violence couldn't be the answer that that protective rules of the international Order were rules that would make the United States safer and more prosperous, But because we didn't wring every last ounce of advantage out of it. It was also the best set of rules for countries that were medium sized powers or small powers, so it created an international order where people were countries opted in voluntarily. They obeyed the rules because the rules were Maurin their interest than any other outcome. And I think no president before Donald Trump ever failed to believe that was true. And one of the things I think you see, for example, in the surveys of public attitudes stand by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in the last five years. Is that what what candidate and then President Trump were brilliant ad was asking first order questions. Why don't allies do more doesn't trade export American jobs and what we have seen is that the policies he enacted The American public sought. The question was interesting, but they don't like his answer, right? And right now, I was. That's a great point. And, uh, it's a fair question to ask. What are we getting out of this? We should always be asking. What are we getting out of this? And I think it's Joe. It's the responsibility of Joe Biden. And it's the responsibility of Republicans and Democrats alike who believe that the United States like I believe is that is the indispensable power on the globe. Still, and I would say, especially now. And when we don't lead, you see what happens And you see what happens. Even in Europe. You see what happens in a hungry You see what happens in Poland. You see what happens across the world. You see an erosion of democratic values..

This is when You have Senator Lindsey Graham and other folks having a Senate hearing to talk about some things that went on under the Obama administration, Sally Yates was taking the stand. So sadly, Yates is there and Lindsey Graham is grilling Sally Yates and he's asking tough questions. This is a tweet from Jen Psaki, August 5th 2020. Quote on Lee in 2020 Does hashtag Lady G. Which, for those who don't know is a derogatory slang term that people used to talk about Lindsey Graham, basically saying that he's feminine or that he might be gay on Lian 2020 Does hashtag Lady G get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning savvy gates in American hero? I had not. I did not. I have not heard that lady G thing. Yes, so so because his name's Lindsay and some people think he's a little feminine. That's okay.

Remember, We had that one story of the Villanova basketball player who was quoting rap lyrics from Jay Z when he was in eighth grade. Right. And you know it had the n word and and he was a white guy, and you know, everybody was out to get him. This was August 5th 2020 and your current White House press secretary hashtag Lady G. Now. If you're asking me if this is ridiculous, Yes, I think it all is ridiculous when you dig up old tweets, But these are the rules and we did not make the rules. So I mean, I guess if it's okay that Jimmy Kimmel wears black face, I think Jimmy Fallon had a blackface skit at one point. Why do all these people get a pass? But heaven forbid, if you're somebody that's a conservative The cancel culture mob was going to come out to get you. Well, look at what happened in Saturday night Live over the weekend. There's a big controversy that they made a transphobic joke, but nobody really cares. Nobody's gonna call him out on it. You know, they're in. Plus, they're playing with kid gloves. Now when they're the way they treat Biden supposedly did on Trump. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much time they spent making fun of Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live? This past weekend. Zero. This was like their first episode in a long time. They mentioned Joe Biden's name when they were doing weekend update and monologues and stuff. But there wasn't a Biden joke at all. There wasn't any making fun of Joe Biden zero. So get ready for the next. Well, I don't want to say four years because I don't think Joe Biden is going to make it four years. 2.5 whatever he's going toe last before they end up shoving him and four to some moving bus and getting comma Harrison there, But it's gonna be kid gloves, man. Different rules, depending on which side you voted on. Again. Imagine if Sean Spicer had tweeted out something really derogatory or sexist towards somebody. Don't you think that would be a big story? Don't you think that would be like or seriously there's or anybody in the Trump Administration? Of course. Yeah. Um, speaking of the new administration there, go to network CNN. Remember when they got all bent out of shape? If you called it the China virus, remember, they had Jim Acosta. Oh, man talking to the president every day talking to the press secretary every day, and he would stand up there and do his monologue. Then he would run back to Chris Cuomo or whoever it was and talked about how Xena phobic calling the China virus words. The president referred to the Corona virus as a quote foreign virus that that I think was interesting because as I was talking to sources earlier this evening, one of the points that the president wanted to make tonight wanted to get across to Americans is that this virus did not start here. But that they're dealing with it now why the president would go AST far as to describe it as a foreign virus. That is something we'll also be asking questions about. I think it's going to spec. It's going to come across to a lot of Americans as stacking of xenophobia on by the wages a side note. I mean, before, like, something switched on a dime to me something turn on a dime with the media back when this whole because you could there's montages, endless montages people on CNN, calling it the Chinese virus with Wuhan virus. And then, as soon as Donald Trump started using that, then that's when they all started hopping on that bandwagon. He's racist, xenophobic, blah, blah, blah. And one of the biggest finger waggers at CNN was Alison Camerata. She's a reporter, and she would refuse to call it the China virus. She going lectures of why it was inappropriate. Well, today, she got a finger Wag did her because she called it the South African variant even though the violence and this particular variant was first described in South Africa. It actually might not have even emanated from South Africa. So it's inappropriate to call it the South African variant. It's better just to call it by its name five or one y V two, and we now know that's in about 31 countries. No, you're right. Absolutely. I mean, you're right. And I don't mean to Despair of South Africa. It's just a handy shorthand. Oh, so it's a handy shorthand when you do it. It's just a real quick way to talk about the virus. When you do it.

Lindsey Graham hasn't issued any subpoenas. With the Russia probe. That's not what he means. I'm sorry. That's not what Lindsay girl. What Lindsey Graham Means is he tried to get Trump just tone it down. He tried to get Trump to behave. According to Washington norms, he tried to rein Trump in and get trump too. Behave more like a Washingtonian, but he just couldn't do it. He gave it everything he's got. He wasn't talking about helping Trump defeat his enemies. Okay. How come he hasn't Issued any subpoenas for the Dominion Machines or the because he desires a career. In the Washington political establishment post Trump Okay, This is Ah.

I'm not I'm not making fun of what you're saying. I'm your you're asking a legitimate question, and I'm giving you the real answer. You think helping Trump would have been subpoenaing Trump's enemies, exposing the people that were involved in the coup like he said he was going to do that, and that's a proper definition of help. But that's not what Senator grand means. When he talks about he did everything he could. Well, he's not even talking to you. When he says that he's talking to Schumer. He's talking to the Democrats. He's talking to media. Hey, look, I tried to help. I tried to get this guy reined in. I tried to make him more like us, and I really thought I was succeeding, but it didn't work.
