RINO Billionaires Are Now Coalescing Behind Nikki Haley
"Wants you to know she's up for the fight. She's told us over and over again that she's a woman. Why does she have to tell us over and over again that she's a woman? Isn't that what the Libs do, or at least used to do? Okay, got it. She's a woman. Perfect. But she's not Margaret Thatcher. Let's be honest. The problem is Nikki Haley's not a conservative. I've said it before I'll and say it again. She's George Bush in a dress. Obviously what I mean by that is ideologically. This is why Karl Rove is getting behind her. This is why others who horrific have losing streaks are getting behind her. Billionaires getting behind her. There's a report out now, I think it was Axios, that said that she was meeting with the. No, no, there's a report on Axios that says Mitt Romney's big money guy has now moved over to Kelly's team. What? Oh yeah. Romney's guy. And there's more. Remember this guy Fink at Black Rock? I wrote about him and The Democrat Party hates America and we've talked about him very often. Black Rock? Remember he was pushing ESG, that is, he was pushing hard this woke agenda and trying to impose it on all the other companies that he helps finance or invests in? A one -man wrecking machine, this guy Fink. Well guess who she met with a few days ago? Him. Why would she meet with him? Ron DeSantis. May I use his name, Mr. Producer? Is that okay? What drew $2 billion from Black Rock because of what they were doing? Yeah. Thank you. Iggy Haley And Iggy Haley was the one who said she said it herself. I know this to be true. I checked with my stepson, Mr. Producer. And that is that Disney, she said Disney can come to South Carolina while DeSantis is fighting Disney. She invites them to South Carolina and I can go on and on. And it's not just her versus DeSantis or her versus Ramaswami or versus her Trump, it's her versus us. Us. So you're seeing, if you were to ask Mitch McConnell who he liked, Nikki Haley. They'll all like Nikki Haley. In Washington D .C., Republicans. the That's who

You're Getting a Lot of Bum Information About Tuesday's Election
"An political conservative. He ran in the Republican primaries against the conservative challenging The Republican establishment and ruling class The The establishment Republican and ruling class has not gone away and they never will. They get too much power they get too much attention they get too much money. Mitch McConnell is a throwback to the Gerald Ford era. Chris Christie is a throwback to the George Bush era and before Chris Sununu is a throwback to the George Bush era. Sununu is the governor of New Hampshire he's elected been there. His case is unique his daddy was elected there. Chris Sununu excuse me Chris Christie got elected first time around because the governor was corrupt, unethical, and adulterer and extremely unpopular. So you need these special circumstances they're not examples to emulate they're one -offs. the red It has but Reagan's an example to emulate and why don't look we ever at his campaigns and why don't we ever look at how he campaigned. What the issues were. Oh markets all changed no it hasn't changed hasn't changed at all. Of course issues change and move and somewhere but the fundamentals are the same. Let's take abortion. Abortion. And I'll be very blunt with you because Democrat Party billionaires and interest groups are willing to spend ten times more than Republican billionaires and interest groups on explaining the issue. So the Democrat Party defines the Republican candidate lies about the Republican candidate lies about their position and so when the Democrat Party is actually on this issue. Nobody believes that a baby should be aborted with partial abortion right up to the last second of birth. Nobody

Sen. Mike Lee: Our European Allies Need to Step up With Ukraine
"Gum, but I'm not willing to shut down the government over Ukraine funding. I'm sorry. story. And yet it seems Mitch McConnell and a lot of swampies over there on your side are obsessed with Ukraine Ukraine over the priorities of the United States, causing us damage in the process. Yeah, there's a ubiquitous obsession in Congress with Ukraine funding. Now, look, I, they're I feel they're polite and I know they're in a tough spot. I don't like and I'm not a fan of Russia. Nonetheless, none of those things mean that this is our war to fight either their directly or through a proxy. We have moreover sent $113 billion to Ukraine already just in the last year or so alone. And so, meanwhile, our NATO allies in Europe, in whose back door all of this is taking place have not ponied up nearly to the same degree. There's no reason why we should continue to fight this war as if it were ours. It's not, especially considering that Russia has nuclear weapons and it has a lot of nuclear weapons. That doesn't mean that under no circumstances do we go to a war against that nation. But we ought to go into it with a clear mind that that's what we've been doing. We've been going into a war, albeit a war through proxy. We have to tread very, very carefully. And under no circumstances should we turn a blind eye to our $33 trillion debt that the law firm currently wants to extend to the tune of an additional $2 trillion for the next fiscal year, simply so we can make sure that we enter into this proxy war even further without any additional commitment from our European allies. This makes no sense. It also makes no sense that we have no plan to achieve peace there. We have no military strategy that's been ever outlined, not by the president, not by the Pentagon, not anyone. So my response

"Up tomorrow. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he'll bring up that supplemental with the aid for the two countries but it will not include the border policy changes that Republicans are demanding. Schumer said he would allow for them to bring up an amendment to add border issues but the Senate's top Republican Mitch McConnell indicated that will not be enough so this vote tomorrow will likely be blocked by a Republican filibuster. That's WTLP's Mitchell Miller. He adds that apparently there was a closed -door briefing today that did not go well with some Republicans walking out.

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is Kurt Schlichter, author of Overlord, eighth in the series. Check it out. I'm hearing great things about it in the People's Republic series. Kurt, thank you for taking the time. Kurt, I was thinking who could we have on the show that's not going to hold anything back. Make our audience laugh about the Shakespearean tragedy and drama that we are witnessing. Kurt, how should we think about what is happening right now as we speak? Motion to vacate of Kevin McCarthy. Well, the whole thing reminds me of the sin of Onam. I think, you know, I'm trying to keep it FCC compliant here, Charlie. I'm an army guy. I want to know what the objective is. I don't like Kevin McCarthy. He's not my pal. I am completely indifferent to what happens to him. He is a tool in every sense of the word, but mostly to be used for an objective. What's the objective? Matt Gaetz. Why now? Why here? Why this? I know what the plan is. To the extent is it starts with vacating the chair. And step two, we're going to skip over that. And then step three is some better situation happens. I don't understand the plan. I understand that we've got a presidential primary going on. While we are talking about this, we are not talking about the lawfare against President Trump. We are not talking about the candidates and their policies. We are not talking about the Hunter Biden revelations that even The Washington Post can't ignore anymore. We're not talking about Jamal Bowman, who can't figure out the difference between a door and a fire alarm. I actually believe him there. I do think he is that dumb. Instead, we've got Matt Gaetz being followed by hundreds of regime media reporters who for the first time ever are thrilled to ask what Matt Gaetz, a hardcore conservative thinks only because they think it's going to cause chaos among the Republicans, which it is. And he appears to be eating this up. He appears to be loving this. He appears to have a personal beef against Kevin McCarthy. Not sure that his personal beef should have any play in here. Look, I'm all about winning. I don't understand how that wins. I haven't had a good explanation of how vacating the chair wins. Again, not a pal of Kevin McCarthy. It's not my favorite guy. I don't like him. I don't love him. But he's over Matt when Gaetz tosses him out with the help of the Democrats, who will never do anything that's good for the Republicans. So you could tell, you know, it's an important indicator. If the Democrats are united behind you in doing something, that's when you think, huh, maybe this isn't such a great idea. So I'm, you know, I'm concerned with winning legislative elections in Virginia, where we have to show people who have doubts about conservatives that we can govern. I'm concerned about winning in Kentucky, where we have a very important governor who's very likely to have to replace Mitch McConnell, whose health is failing. I want to, you know, is this going to help those things or hurt those things? What's the answer? I don't you take a giant leap to do something that hasn't been done in 113 years. You know, I'd like to know what the plan is. Am I crazy? No, no, there is no plan. And I understand the anger from the base. I'm going to read some emails here, though, Kurt. And I know and I get it because we have been betrayed on every major issue. So I get it. I feel the same way. I'm not even trying to do happy talk. I'm not trying to do. I'm just asking, guys, before you storm the Bastille, what's next? And there is this there's this amazing dialog that happened. I'm trying to remember what New York City liberal was, but it was the Black Panthers. I think I think I had you on once and we talked about this. So the Black Panthers came to some sort of white liberal cocktail soiree and all the white liberals were like fawning over them, the Black Panthers, best thing ever. And some brave soul, you know, listens to the speech and the Black Panthers say, we're going to burn it all down. We're going to do this. And somebody asked the question, they said, but but what next? And the Black Panther responds, he says, well, you can't know everything, man. It's like, OK, hold on a second. Like, let's climb up, like let's I get the anger. I understand it. But here's let me just read some of these emails here, because, again, I have received thousands of very nasty messages, not even because I'm saying we shouldn't be doing this. I'm saying that this has probably not been thought through, like just what the one, two, three, four is. Right. So I'll read one of these emails here. Right. Charlie, the time has come to burn it all down. They're all the same. It can't get any worse than what we have. What is your response to that, Kurt? That's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. And I think we need to sugarcoating it with our people. OK, I've been in the ruins of a civil war. It gets a lot worse. We have problems here, you know, and I find it interesting that guys like you and I, who no one is going to mistake for a squish unless they are actively stupid or think the listener is actively stupid, are saying, wait a minute, stop it. We need a plan. We need a direction. We need to figure out what the heck we're going to do. And it can't just be, well, let's just see what happens. Let's toss this guy out with no idea who follows. You know what's going to happen? A bunch of Republican squishes, the same one the base is infuriated at, are going to get together with a bunch of Democrats and they're going to put in a squish Republican speaker like they got down in Texas, the same kind of creep who was behind impeaching Ken Paxton. And then they're going to go, I can't believe it. You know, I keep thinking of that meme, the guy riding on his bike and he's saying, dang, these Republicans, they're screwing everything up. He sticks some between the tusks, folks in his wheel. He raps, he goes, oh, they're really annoying. Look what they did to me. The anger is understandable. And yes. And but so some I could read I could read, by the way, the audience is ninety nine percent in the direction of vacate storm, the best deal, take the head and all that. But let's let's just go through a fact, which is that the people that will be voting for motion to vacate, you know, they say they've been live to him betrayed and I'm going to take their word at it. Right. I'm not there. They are. I'm not going to. But they will they will vote with that. They will vote for every Democrat. So is it correct, Kurt, to say that this is a gift to the Democrat Party? Well, the Democrats sure think so. Democrats are excited about this. Every single Democrat wouldn't be voting for this thing if they didn't think it was good for the Democrats. That hold on, hold on. You know, that sounds obvious, but time out, time out. Say that again, because that that that that's not Barry the lead. OK, hold on. I want you to repeat what you just said. Say it again. Every single Democrat would not be voting for this if every single Democrat did not think this was good for the Democrats and bad for us. That sounds so obvious, but because the Democrats never vote against their own interest ever. No, no, they don't know about their political party interest, not the interest of their constituents, of their power. No, I look I think you're right. And I, you know, I'm. I understand people are frustrated. Grow up. We have a four seat majority of one house of the Congress. OK, there are a bunch of reasons why that's true. Many of them the fault of our own party and our own choices and actions. But that's where we are. You know, I can't believe why isn't he decreeing blah, blah, blah. Because, you know, maybe you should have paid more attention that that Schoolhouse Rock. I'm just a bill thing because it's it doesn't work like that. We have got to make incremental movements. We are not going to make this is this is not going to be a giant sweeping cavalry charge. This is going to be bayonet fighting inch by inch. And sometimes you're going to lose ground. Sometimes the bad guys score points. The goal is to move forward, but you never move forward by losing. I don't want to make any broad proclamations, but we will. It looks like we're not going to have the House next year. I'm just going to tell you right now it was this is not making it more likely for most of our audience doesn't care. And they're telling us and that's not what they will. But they will. Once they abolish the Electoral College, I'm going to get a lot of e -mails. Yeah. Well, I can't believe I'm doing this. Well, believe it. And you thought it was a great idea. No, I would rather not be in the I told you so mode. I know I get it out. I know when when Washington, D .C. becomes a state, I don't want to have to replay this segment. I don't. Yeah, exactly. Guys, think. I just want to make sure everyone's clear. I share the anger. I share the volcanic eruption against the unit party. Let's be smart. Let's ask ourselves, is there any downside to letting our emotions govern our behavior?

Tuberville still has a hold on a little under a dozen four -star generals and above but after all this drama Tuberville didn't really get anything including a change in the Pentagon policy so lawmakers and Schumer are warning that they hope that this never happens again. Hey Mitch another big is issue what's going to happen with the aid to Ukraine and Israel and a key procedural vote is now going to come up tomorrow. that's right and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he'll bring up that supplemental with the aid for the two countries but it will not include the border policy changes that Republicans are demanding Schumer said he would allow for them to bring up an amendment to add border issues but the Senate's top Republican Mitch McConnell indicated that will not be enough so this vote tomorrow will likely be blocked by a Republican filibuster and also there was a closed -door briefing today that apparently did not go well with some Republicans walking out so unless there's some kind of breakthrough in the coming week it's very possible Congress will leave for the holiday break without approving aid for Israel or Ukraine even though most lawmakers in Congress actually support the assistance Mitch also we have Congressman former George Santos he's gone but making sure he's not forgotten what's going on with that that's right certainly not forgotten Santos has a new gig while he awaits trial on nearly 23 federal charges he's been recording videos on the cameo site first charging 75 bucks each and then he got so popular he raised it to two hundred and fifty dollars he made one for Senator
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Republican Debates, Election Predictions, and Media Criticism
"At some point we have to take the economy seriously. We can't just keep printing money and sending it overseas. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick along with my partner, Mike Speraza. We are always excited to be here, Mike. Um, we are here after the second Bill's win. Yeah. Yeah. We will, we'll keep it at that. Every time we talk very little, things go well. So let's, let's keep it at a win and big game Sunday. Miami. What should be right. A massively popular game. I mean, when they put up 70 against Denver and we, we basically, did we shut out the three points? Three, three. Okay. We held, held Washington, the Washington commanders to only three. That should be a really, really dynamite game. So. Had to change their name due to political correctness. I know, I know. And we had some conversation about that. The people I was watching the game with were reflecting on, I guess the good old days when the, the nicknames of teams just didn't seem to matter as much, but it matters now. Now they want to take down statues. You're an Iroquois guy. They're taking that name away. The chiefs because apparently saying chiefs is very, uh, politically incorrect. I mean, a leader. You can't be called the leaders anymore. Maybe it'll be the Iroquois comrades because everyone's got to just hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Yeah. And, and you know, nobody gets a gender anymore. Nobody can dominate one or the other. Even if it's a sport, there really might not even ever be winners or losers. They might not even keep score anymore in sports. Like it's just going to be for the experience of it trophy for the trophy for the trophy. Line them all up. They're all going to look exactly the same. There'll be gender neutral trophies. When will we have a they, them team name? Like the, the Washington they, thems, like when, when, I mean, I know that sounds outrageous, but that's where we're headed. Yeah, it's true. It's going to be comrades. Friends. Yeah. The friends, the Iroquois friends, the Iroquois comrades. It literally is heading that way though. Something where you go, what is, what is this sport? Like we don't even know based on the name, what the sport is. We don't even, yeah. You won't know. Like usually you could derive some more information from things like that. Oh, no, no, not anymore. No, you're going to have to dig real deep. You're going to have to show up at these events and, uh, you know, maybe wear a nice hoodie and a pair of shorts at the events. Yeah, I agree with you. And, uh, you know, maybe right after you went through the Senate chambers to vote on something, you can head and do a game with your hoodie and shorts on. Anyway, the next one, the last thing I'll say is the next one will be the Patriots. They'll be getting their name taken because that represents Donald Trump and his movement. We got to take away the name Patriot, right? That'll be the next one. There you go. You know, I just, I can't with these people anymore. It's really getting to be absurd. Yep. Totally. So, uh, Mike, let's start with this one. A second Republican debate coming this Wednesday night, September 27th, and Dana Perino, who I've always enjoyed listening to. Um, she will be joining Stuart Varney and Ilia Calderon at the Ronald Reagan library. presidential Suitable place. I love it. Yeah. And, uh, I, we were just chatting a bit before the podcast, so let's just line this up. All right. I don't know the order, but we're going to have Pence, Christie, DeSantis, Rama, Swami, uh, Doug Burgum made it Dougie Dougie. Um, who is that? Who else? I'm I've got five Nikki Haley. Thank you. And then, uh, there should be one more. Um, I did pens from, let's write this down. One more time for everybody. Pence, Rama, Swami, right? DeSantis. How do I not remember? Tim Scott, Tim Scott. Thank you. So, so seven this time, um, not Asa Hutchinson, I think you said he, he didn't make it. Didn't qualify. So, um, of course the big elephant in the room is that Donald Trump again will not be there. Just tell me your thoughts, I guess, on this next upcoming debate. Are we going to hear anything different? Is there any going to be anything that really makes people go, Whoa, this guy's really racing to the front or female. Um, if it's Nikki Haley, anyone going to race to the front after this one? I really, I mean, I think we're kind of wasting our time here and I'm not saying it as a, as a Trump voter. I'm just saying it realistically. Right. I mean, at this point, the lead is 40 to 50 points. Nobody makes up that ground than a debate, right? Like Nikki Haley had a great debate last time. She's still polling single digits. Right. I don't agree with Nikki Haley stance on a lot of things, but she, she fared well in that debate and she really didn't grow or fall behind anymore. Right. So I think that's the tough part. When we look at these debates, the Donald Trump in the 2015, 2016 campaign years, that is your like unicorn, right? Where, where you just go up there and go bananas. And then you end up, you know, taking over the field. The difference was there was no Donald Trump in that election, right? Like you had a Jeb Bush, but he wasn't the guaranteed slam dunk candidate right now. You have Donald Trump, Mike, and he is the guaranteed slammed on Canada. The only one that we thought maybe had a chance was Ron DeSantis and he has crumbled mightily, whether you like him or hate him. It's just the facts. He's, he's in trouble. Right. I mean, so what, what are we accomplishing with these debates other than kind of a, I guess I'll say wasting our time. Yeah. And I, I just, I just think it's worth breaking this down a little bit. Like what is it that people like you and I think that these others are just inferior to a guy like a Donald Trump? Like, and I'll tell you my opinion first. Mine is I just don't think they'll win. And I just feel like more and more people need to, you got to vote and expect that the conservative Republican candidate in this case wins. And I don't think any of these other people could, could actually win. I don't think they have enough, you know, experience. They don't have the fortitude that a Donald Trump has. Well, I think that that to me is, is there's two reasons why I'm voting for Donald Trump, right? Number one was I thought he had a very good four year term other than the COVID 19 issue. And I, I'm telling you right now, I say this to people all the time. If it was Ron DeSantis, if it was Donald Trump, if it was Hillary Clinton, that, that, that whole debacle was, was a disaster and there was no way you were going to look good in that debacle. I'm just telling you. Yeah. Number one, but that was a Trump fault that I have. And if I ever talked to him, I would tell him that that I do not agree with what he did with COVID. It's easy for me to say that now, but, but at the end of the day, he had a great four year term other than that, in my personal opinion. Number two is every time they've tried to knock him down at the knees, Mike, that has made me want him back more, right? The, the every time they indict him, I want him back more, right? Every time they try and silence him with gag orders, I want him back more. This is how I think a lot of conservatives are feeling. And at this point, it's kind of like, okay, is Rhonda, here's what my other point, I don't mean to keep going on, but at the end of the day is whether it's Ron, DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, or Donald Trump, I'm going to use those three for a second. They will be treated the exact same way by the media, by the Democrat party. It doesn't matter who that candidate is. It doesn't matter. Right. People always say like, Oh, but, but Trump's hated. If DeSantis is a candidate, he's already taken crap from the leftist media, right? Like if he's the candidate, he's going to, it's going to be open up another can of worms. I don't think it matters. The reason why we got to go with Donald Trump is he's been there. He's been able to handle it. We know that whether you like him or not, he's handled the media and he's handled the Democrats well. And we need that experience. This is the election of our lifetime. And I will say that now, this is the election of our lifetime. We need to win. Dana Perino says, I believe the economy will feature prominently because we know that that is the biggest concern and preoccupation that is worrying Americans. And she says in many ways, in my opinion, the economy is the thread that runs through all of these other possible topics. For example, if you're concerned about crime, one of the issues is what kind of resources do you have and are you willing to use in order to help deal with that? I think she's spot on. I think when it comes to the economy, the economy sort of is the fuel and whether you then have a notion to, you know, actually shut down the border, improve childcare, improve education, then the, the economy obviously is the main thread that actually everything else seems to branch off of. If you have a lot of people working, for instance, you're going to have a thriving economy because supply and demand is going to balance out. You're going to have lots of products and services to offer and a lot of people can afford these things. Right. So, uh, I, I agree with her. Plus it is Fox business that's hosting the event. So might lean a little bit more toward economics. Yeah, I think it should. I agree with you. I mean, at some point we have to take the economy seriously. We can't just keep printing money and sending it overseas at some point, you know, and I say, I've said this to you, Mike before, going to get groceries now at times, like they ring all the stuff up and I'm like, Holy crap. I bought, I have a cat. I bought five cans of cat food. They're, they're the size of like a lacrosse ball, not even. And it's like $5 for five cans. I'm like this, this thing costs more than my kids at this point. This cat's going to be very thin. It's going to be out of crash diet. I mean, but seriously, how do people, Mike, that don't make money? And I say this in a sad way, like how do people that don't make money survive? Even going, you go to a local fast food restaurant for two people. My wife and I it's 30 bucks. I'm like, what the hell happened out here? I told that is what's going on. And that's scary. Yeah. When they have to make those kinds of hard choices. Right. Uh, all right. So, uh, let's move on. So speaking of Trump, we're talking about these other seven candidates that will be there Wednesday, this Wednesday night, nine to 11 PM in the second Republican debate, Donald Trump will not be there, but this came out like in a Washington post poll. Trump is now up 10%, uh, over a potential run against Biden, 10 % double digit. Now if you just pin Trump against Biden again, first your thoughts, and then we'll go a little deeper into this. Well, I'm not surprised. Um, I think, I think Americans are getting sick and tired of it. I think Americans are worried about our futures. I think the migrant crisis is hurting the Democrat party because you have liberal places like New York city that are waking up saying, Oh my God, we can't do this anymore. And there's like 10 ,000 migrants in New York city, not 10 million. Right. So like, like it's starting to click, I think with certain people, number one, number two, Mike, I think it's hard to hide Joe Biden's cognitive decline, right? The left can say whatever they want in the media. You just can't, when you fall over on things, when you do talk like that, I mean, they, it's a problem. It's a real problem and it's visible. Um, do I trust these polls? Yes and no. I think, if I think America is as smart as I think they would, the polls should be probably higher, like 30 % lead for Trump. Um, but I think the numbers that keep growing in Trump's favor, the margin of error is not that big, right? Michael, like you look at the Republican primary polls, the margin of error is not 40%, right? He's up 40%. So even if they're off by 20%, he's still up 20%. The same thing's starting to happen in these head to head polls with Biden. It started, you know, Trump down, then it was Trump even, then it was Trump three, five, now it's 10. I mean, that's a lot. Yeah. And so I want to read a little bit here. So the post ABC poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle. This is, by the way, the Washington Post little write -up, uh, after the poll was done. Um, so this is, this is actually humorous. Although the sizable margin of Trump's lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest to virtual dead heat, the difference between this poll and others as well as the unusual makeup of Trump's and Biden's coalitions in the survey. So Mike, the more words, the muddier this all gets, right? It sounds like excuses coming up, right? It sounds like Kamala Harris. It really is. It's like, yeah, total word salad. Um, I just said suggested is probably an outlier, right? So, so this, this I thought was interesting. Um, Byron Byron York of the Washington examiner said the post dumped on headline news in quotes from its own poll. So basically they do a poll. They say that their poll is likely an outlier and, and he, he goes on to then say Washington Post sub heads suggests its own poll may be an outlier. That may be true, but they put no such disclaimer in headline three years ago when they published a poll of Wisconsin, right before election day in 2020, showing Biden up 17 points on Trump, 10 points more than the average of other polls at the time. That was real clear politics, president Tom Bevin. So, so funny to me, so interesting, right? Even when they try to do something where they want to take part in the polling process and inform all of us as Americans, Ooh, that's not really where we wanted to see that. That's likely an outlier folks. Yeah. Oh, Donald Trump's winning. Shit. That doesn't count. Okay. What are we going to do? Next one. Okay. These were registered voters. What are we going to do? This is 10 points. Holy shit. What are we going to say? Let's just say it's an outlier. Oh damn. That was a fake poll. Oh, those stupid polls. Yeah. I mean, and it might, I'll say this before we get onto another topic on what's, what's, you're starting to see it all come together. It's like, it's like when they see, you know, hurricanes forming in the ocean, right? We're starting to see it now. The polls are shifting to Trump. Now we have Hillary Clinton coming out saying things like, Oh yeah, who's to say Putin won't medal in the election in 2024 again, right? You have others saying like, Ooh, we got to get Trump off the ballot or people saying, let's indict Trump again for this or that let's put gag orders on him. It's all coming together. Now the new thing too, Mike is, Hmm, let's indict the Bidens and let's see if we can get, we can get a Joe Biden off the ticket. We've used him, we've abused him. Now we're getting them out of here. It's all, it's that wave in the ocean. It's that hurricane forming in the ocean. That's what's happening. And I believe that because why, why would Hillary Clinton come out and say, if you're so confident right in the 2024 election, if you're so confident and Trump's an idiot, he's never going to make it again and get rid of them. Why are you now saying, Hmm, maybe Putin will medal in the elections again. Why would you say that? Right. Right. And by the way, this is the same guy that's richer than ever because his country has been able to sell oil at a high rate since Biden's been in office. This is the same country that has had its way with the Ukraine walking in there and taking over land since Biden's been in there. Why would, why would Putin medal in the election to get in and probably in his mind, the nut job of Donald Trump back in office, it may drop a nuke on him. Why would he want Trump back in office? Ask yourself that question. Don't have to, if you have any sense at all, then you don't even have to ask that. Um, so anyway, let's see what the next number of polls start to reveal. Let's see if, let's see if polls stop coming out, Mike, right? Because once you have one that's got Trump winning by double digit, maybe they just start to say, polls are stupid. Polls are for racists. You're homophobic. If you read polls, I mean, we'll see. Or they come out with some poll from the middle of nowhere. That's like Biden up 35 points on Donald Trump. Right, right. This was from registered voters in the white house. Yes. We interviewed seven people and it was six to one, six to one. And the other one we fired, we don't even know who that was. Yeah. So, so let's go to this now. Every once in a while, Mike, I have to do this CNN, right? I go to the cnn .com site. I just got to see what they're finding note newsworthy, noteworthy, whatever you want to say. And honestly, and I've often reported this, I'm often in disbelief at what they aren't reporting. In this example though, I was like, Oh, a few stories down. Here's a story, Mike, why more women are choosing not to have kids. So right away I'm thinking, Oh my gosh, these are the most unlikable people, the most anti traditional family structure people ever. They probably don't want to have a relationship at all. They don't want to ever have true, you know, intimacy with anybody cause they just can't do it. They're just nasty. They're mostly on, you know, just awful. These lots, so many of these people. So I go on to read a little bit of this and you know, this is, this is someone named Diana Volek who, who never, who was never someone who dreamed of becoming a mother, right? And these are just some of the reasons given. They don't want the responsibility of being a parent. They fear a lack of support. They like their life as it is. They're still judged for being child free. So so even when they don't choose to have children, right? So I'm like looking at this and then suddenly I go, wait a second. This was published at midnight, uh, basically Sunday or Monday, you know, September 25th. That's that's now as we record editor's note, this story was originally published in August, 2021. Some details such as the ages of those interviewed remain the same as they were when the story first published. So you're telling me right away, I thought, is the Hollywood writers strike? Is it bleeding into CNN now? Cause there aren't enough stories. There aren't enough people to write like modern stories. There's not enough news. They had to pull a story from two years ago to talk about why many women are deciding not to have kids. Like how pathetic is that? How pathetic. This new trend too, of like, it's cool to just say, screw it. I don't want to have a family is the weirdest thing ever. And then we wonder why these people are miserable, right? I mean, again, is parenting easy? I'm a new parent. Mike, you know that you, you parented two girls for, you know, they're what? 25, 22, right? So you've had, you've had 25 years of parenting experience. I've had, you know, almost a year. It's the most enjoyable thing ever. Right? I mean you're finally, it's good not to be selfish. It's good to take care of somebody else and love somebody else. Right. And I'm not saying you don't love your spouse, but your spouse is an adult relationship. You have to have a relationship with a baby, which turns into a toddler, which turns into an adolescent, a young adult like that. There's nothing more special than that. You should want that. Instead it's like, Oh, kids are stupid. I'm going to be so rich. Really weigh me down. Yeah, yeah, sure. Okay. They're going to weigh me down. I want my independence. I don't want to be responsible to another human being. I've got myself to worry about and treat and, and you know, I don't know, a door like I get like, that's fine. I want to see the next story though be why many women are deciding that having a child is rewarding. It can become a very loving, you know, yes, you have to be responsible. Like it just was so gross to me like that. And two years ago, this isn't even news. This is like, Oh my gosh, we got to fill these headlines. What do we get out? Pull that one again. We don't like kids. We don't want anyone, you know, raising children, my God for, you know, I'll say this though, Mike and all seriousness too. Like, yes. Is, is it fun being a college degenerate and booze and all the time and having a blast? Sure it is. We all did it right. I mean, yes, of course it's a fun thing. Is it fun to not care if you can go to bed at 2am or 5am or 5pm? Sure. That's great. But at some point you have to mature as an adult, take your job seriously, take your family seriously and care about things like I always say this, Mike, and this is something I've brought up a million times. Think about being, you know, if you want it, like if you didn't want to have kids, I'm not saying people that can't have kids cause I feel for them. But if you, if you didn't want children, cause you didn't want the responsibility, what do you do in your sixties and seventies with no family? Like that breaks my heart, honestly. Right? Like I, what my relationship with my parents, my wife's with her parents, like it's, it's fun, right? It's, you're a family. You get to do things together and you get to enjoy each other. Who doesn't want that? I just don't get it. Well, there's a lot of people in Washington that actually have spouses and children and grandchildren. And clearly there is not a lot of love and support going on between all of them. Because some of these people, I mean, we know who we're talking about, the Mitch McConnell's, the Joe Biden's, they would not be in front of microphones if people actually cared about them. They would not let those loved ones go through what they go through on a daily basis, unless they have no connection, no personal connection at all. Um, all right. AOC. She's almost the last story of our day, but there's one more after this. So we got a bonus. We do a bonus story here, breaking news. So AOC wins the hypocrisy award mic for this, uh, at least this week, maybe the year on this one decade, this is hilarious. And, um, I'll just set this up for a second. So here she was on CBS's face the nation. And, um, she was discussing president Biden's plan to visit the Michigan auto workers on Tuesday. So host of CBS's face, the nation, Margaret Brennan points out a couple of interesting facts about AOC and her selection of vehicles. So let's go ahead and play that. Yup.

Thanks, Jeff. 442 Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is ending his months -long, one -person hold on hundreds of military appointments. The release will allow for promotions for about 400 officers. But Tuberville still plans to maintain a hold on nearly a dozen four -star generals. He started the hold back in February because of his opposition to the Pentagon's abortion policy. But he's been under growing pressure from fellow Republicans as well as Democrats to end his one -man blockade. Senate Democrats planned have to bring up a procedural change that would have allowed all military promotions to be approved on a single vote. In the the meantime, Senate's top Republican is placing conditions on providing further aid to Ukraine. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he's been a consistent supporter of Ukraine in its war against Russia. But he says doing so in isolation is now a non -starter. We insist on meaningful changes to the border. Even as Ukrainian President Zelensky was speaking to senators via secure video urging more aid, McConnell was making his own case. Now is the time to pay attention to our own border in addition to these other important concerns. international The White House's aid to Ukraine is an urgent matter with current funding running out.

A highlight from Operation Atlantic Resolve
"Well then, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. Bob France sitting in and yeah, you hear the music, you know where I'm coming to you from. Cleveland, Ohio, the home base, therelieffactor .com studios if you will. Our WHK radio, AM1420, the answer here in Cleveland, Ohio. An honor to be sitting in for Dennis once again. And of course today being Yom Kippur, which is why Dennis is off today. As he has of course been celebrating the holy days and starting back with Rosh Hashanah. The Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. And it's a wonderful thing. It really is. I kind of have to familiarize myself not being Jewish myself. I have to familiarize myself with some of the days and some of the reasons and the explanations for the calendar. And Yom Kippur is one of the ones that to me is the most solemn. A Day of Atonement, a day of reflection and looking inside and asking for forgiveness for the shortcomings that perhaps we have and so forth. And so to Dennis and to everyone who is commemorating and or celebrating and or taking part in participating in the Yom Kippur day today. This very important Day of Atonement. God's blessings to you all. Seriously, really appreciate that. In the meantime, we've got work to do. We have a lot of very important things to talk about and I want you to be a part of the show. 8 Prager776, that's 877 -243 -7776. I want to know, is it acceptable for me to be concerned with the plight of others but being unwilling to do any more than I have already done? And yes, if you're wondering, I'm talking about Ukraine. Yes, if you're wondering, I'm talking about the 113 billion dollars we have already sent to Ukraine to help them ward off the invasion of the Soviet, well, the Russians. Who are trying to rebuild the Soviet empire, I suppose, if you think that they are going to not stop in Ukraine and then advance to other European nations and so forth. I don't think so. I don't think they have the ability to do that any longer. I don't think they are the fearsome foe they were when the Soviet bloc was, of course, raining havoc on Eastern Europe and raining havoc on the world. But I want to talk about the Ukrainian situation. Here's two reasons. Two reasons why. The first of which is the fact that in Canada, over the weekend in front of the Canadian Parliament, the Lord Mayor Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, who came to the United States for the second time, hat in hand, saying please drop all you can into the hat here so that we can go back and continue our war with Russia. They came looking for more money, asking for another 25 billion dollars. And again, I'll get to the point about how I feel about spending that money and how I feel about it going forward in a moment, but he came to the United States and then he went up to Canada. And he went up to Canada before the Canadian Parliament and he sat there and he asked for support and financial remunerations from the Canadians as well. And the Canadians, of course, listened happily. And, you know, we're all all for supporting this. But what they did after that is something that is quite simply incomprehensible to me. Canadian organizations Jewish are among those now slamming the Canadian Parliament for giving voice to and a standing ovation to a man who fought for the Nazis during World War II. All because he is Ukrainian. All because he's Ukrainian. Video and photos show the Canadian Parliament erupting into cheers on Friday after President Zelensky's visit to the capital of Ottawa, when Canadian lawmakers also honored Yaroslav Hunka, a 98 -year -old Ukrainian immigrant who fought for the 1st Ukrainian Division, according to the Toronto Star, the division also known as the Waffen -SS Galicia Division, which fought for the Nazis and its paramilitary arm. The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said in a statement, the fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to... And by the way, this story that I'm starting with, this day, this first hour, this story is not because of today being the Jewish Day of Atonement. This is outrageous. This is when it happened is when it happened. Understand that. The fact that it is occurring, though that we're talking about this and it just happened during these holy days, is another point entirely. The fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to and given a standing ovation in Parliament is shocking. At a time of rising anti -Semitism and Holocaust distortion, it's incredibly disturbing to see Canada's Parliament rise to applaud an individual who was a member of a unit in the Waffen -SS, a Nazi military branch responsible for the murder of Jews and others, and that was declared a criminal organization during the Nuremberg Trials. Some are calling for full -throated apologies from Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and from Ukrainian President Zelensky. This honor was given to a Ukrainian because everything now has to go Ukraine's way, because Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. We have to come up with untold, unlimited amounts of treasure and time for anything having to do with Ukraine. So they brought a Nazi military fighter, 98 -year -old Nazi fighter in World War II before the Canadian Parliament, and because he's Ukrainian, he got a standing ovation. That's how, beside ourselves, I think we've become with this, we have to do anything and everything we can to help Ukraine. So that's number one. The second reason, by the way, is we continue to try to make some sense out of the, you know, now that we have the actual official figures confirmed by the White House of $113 billion already spent in support of Ukraine. In addition to that, they say that our commitment to helping Ukraine has no end and there is no cost limit. They will do this no matter what the cost for however long it takes. The problem is, of course, there is no end game in sight. There's no end to the commitment that has been identified. When does it end? What standard would it be to say no matter how long it takes to finish the thought? Chuck Schumer? Joe Biden? Mitch McConnell? I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican. If you are giving an unended blank check, an unending blank check to Ukraine, what does that mean? What does that look like? You say for as long as it takes to... fill in the blank. What? Does every Russian in Ukraine have to retreat back across the border or is that not enough? Does every Russian have to leave Crimea, the peninsula that Russia took in 2014 when Obama was president? Or do they just have to stop bombing and stop the fighting? What exactly does it mean to say we're going to give this money until... or I'm sorry, no matter how long it takes to do what? Define the end game. There isn't one.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Impeachment Inquiry Launched Into Joe Biden!
"Why doesn't Mitch McConnell want to make things difficult for the Democrats? Why does Mitch McConnell say that impeaching Joe Biden after the level of corruption and the lies and the disastrous reign of this president has been exposed for all the world to see? Why do you suppose Mitch McConnell thinks it's a bad idea to begin impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden? I honestly don't get it. Maybe you do. Now, thankfully, he's trying to hedge his comments a little bit. He gave an interview to The New York Times that I think it's bad for the country. Think it's bad for the country. Here he was on Fox News Channel, a little bit of a back and forth with reporters. This was covered on Fox News. Here is Senator Mitch McConnell being asked about Kevin McCarthy's announcement yesterday that the House Republicans will begin impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden. There's cut seven. We believe it was a good idea for Speaker McCarthy to open that inquiry to the president today. The impeachment inquiry? The impeachment inquiry? Do you support it? Do you support that as a good idea? I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you. The impeachment inquiry? The impeachment inquiry that Speaker McCarthy opened announced the president's items. Yeah, look, I'm going to say it again. And I don't think that Speaker McCarthy needs any advice from the Senate on how to run the House. OK. He's on record as saying it's not a great idea. He's on record as believing that it's bad for America. I like fighters. I like people. If Trump has symbolized anything whatsoever, it's that Americans demand a fighting spirit from our elected representatives, period. That's it. Is Mitch McConnell, who is agreeing with the Democrats that it's a bad idea to impeach Joe Biden. Do you have a theory as to what his problem is? I'm just going to turn it over to you. We also have some breaking news. The escaped killer, that escaped prisoner, after two weeks on the run, has been captured in the state of Pennsylvania. So the country can breathe a sigh of relief. A very dangerous criminal is behind bars again. So a little update on that news as we welcome you into the Relief Factor studios for a Wednesday I just have a simple question for you. Why does Mitch McConnell agree with the Democrats that it's a bad idea to begin impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden? 1 -800 -655 -MIKE they impeached Trump twice. And they'll believe me, they'll try again if he wins. So we're supposed to roll over and let the Democrats essentially, you know, have their way with us. You go ahead and do whatever you want to us. We won't fight back against you. Let's dive into this. And I want you to swamp my phone lines, flood my phone lines.

Authorities say 34 year old Danilo Cavalcante escaped from Chester County Prison Thursday morning, just 15 days after he was sentenced to life behind bars. They are not releasing any information as to how he escaped. Cavalcante was convicted of stabbing his ex girlfriend 38 times and is considered extremely dangerous. Authorities believe he may be heading to Mexico and are offering a $10 ,000 reward for information leading to his capture. Ron DeSantis says he doesn't plan on meeting with President Biden when he comes to survey hurricane damage in Florida. On Friday, Biden announced he will travel to Florida over the weekend to meet with Governor DeSantis and see the destruction caused by Adalia. However, just a few hours later, the governor's office said DeSantis doesn't have any plans to meet with Biden during his visit. DeSantis is currently seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and is said to have been in regular contact with Biden to coordinate the response to the storm. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear was asked about replacing Senator Mitch McConnell if.

Should There Be Age Limits for Elected Officials?
"I mean, after just look at Joe Biden. Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein. They don't exactly seem fit to, I don't know, be representing themselves, let alone us. In fact, Dianne Feinstein doesn't actually legally represent herself anymore. And yet she still represents California and the United States Senate. That is kind of fun. But then let me introduce Jon Fetterman into this conversation. Now. Whom among that group appears to be the most capable of the bunch?

Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from How Bitcoin is Quietly Taking Over the World | EP 814
"Yo, welcome to another episode of simply Bitcoin live or number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution. We cover breaking news culture, medical warfare. We will be your guide through the separation of money and state shout out to my legendary cohost and brother for holding it down these last couple of days, uh, go, it was going through, uh, some, some personal stuff. Um, and what I got to say about that is cherish the ones you love. Um, you know, you're, sometimes you're not going to spend, uh, that's what I got to say. Cherish the ones you love, appreciate them while they're still around. And, uh, and yeah. Um, but anyways, today's going to be a great show. Uh, we're going to cover the topic. Bitcoin is taking over the world. It really, really is. Um, it was just announced it actually, we covered this initially, uh, when it was dropped on Forbes, the article is Oman's bold Bitcoin play $1 .1 billion investment on Bitcoin mining infrastructure. We covered this during the bit block boom episode. That episode was a little, a little interesting because we were backstage and we had to talk in like golf voices and stuff. But the reason that this is so big, and we're going to dive into the details of this, the significance of this, because it is very, very significant. Is that gonna make the minute? I'm going to make the case for you guys that Bitcoin's incentives stay winning. Bitcoin's incentives are quietly taking over the world. Uh, this isn't, this isn't just had, this didn't just happen in Oman. It was a couple of months ago where we were, we covered it for you guys. Also an article from Forbes. The headline is the kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years, right? So you have, and this is the case that we were making. We made this when this initial news came out of Bhutan, we were trying to tell you guys like, look, this will most likely happen in other countries. Boom. It just happened in another country. And why is that? Why Bitcoin, right? Well, because Bitcoin monetizes, it gives stranded energy value, right? Nothing in the world does that. Bitcoin does that. So countries that perhaps they didn't care about Bitcoin, uh, in Oman, it's just a, it's a heavily Muslim country. You can even say it wasn't, uh, it wasn't appropriate for them to use a currency like Bitcoin. Well, they changed their minds on that, right? And this is a testament to show Bitcoin's incentives and how you can't resist them. Um, and also there's this post by Jimmy Song. I'm going to see if I could pull it up, but he was basically covering the news, uh, coming out of, of black rock. And a lot of people were, were a little bit worried that black rock was going to kind of infect Bitcoin and all that. And I never forget this quote from Max Kaiser and the quote was basically like, you don't change Bitcoin, Bitcoin changes you. And, and, and I really think that's true. Right. Um, and I think it, you know, it was originally sourced in the Satoshi white paper, um, or maybe it was a Satoshi white paper, but it went something like this, right? You're more incentivized to play by Bitcoin's rules than you are to try to cheat it. Right. So when you see these countries getting excited, when you see these countries wanting to partake, wanting to benefit from, you know, number go up technology and these crazy incentives, um, you know, the question that I have, the, the, the, the statement that I have for you guys, you know, it's not governments, uh, it's not governments that are going to try to fix Bitcoin or try to co -opt Bitcoin. It's Bitcoin that is going to co -opt governments. And that is because it is a system of aligned incentives and it is a system that rewards you more by playing by the rules than by trying to cheat the system. Um, and I think that this is a phenomenon that's going to be very strange to people because you're used to a lot of these, you know, huge container institutions or these huge countries that have these massive, uh, governments, these massive bureaucracies doing bad by their people. But I wouldn't say that it's necessarily because these are evil people and they're twirling their mustaches and they're scheming and they're saying like, ha ha ha. Uh, like, you know, like we're gonna, we're gonna do it, we're gonna do like these bad things and you know, we're gonna screw these people. We're gonna enslave people. What I think you're seeing is the result of a broken architecture of, of the broken architecture that is Fiat, the misalignment of incentives that is Fiat. Uh, so when we say fix the money, fix the world, I do not think that's a, that's a, that's an overstatement. I really believe that because I think that if you fix the base layer, if you fix the incentive structure of the world where everyone can win, um, you start incentivizing good behavior. And I think you've seen this in El Salvador. I do not think it's a coincidence. I'm sticking by my word and I know I got a lot of flack on this, but I've talked to Jimmy song about this. I talked to Max Kaiser about this when we were at bit block boom and I'm sticking by it. I do not think it's a coincidence that in the first country that made Bitcoin legal tender, the elected official is actually doing the job of which he was elected to do. And my case, my theory for that is because you have a society where the incentives are now aligned. You have a society where the base layer is now based on truth. It's not based on lies like it is in Fiat. And I think that all the evils that a lot of people will interpret it as evil that you're seeing out of the world economic forum are like, I like to call it the container conference or, you know, a lot of these, uh, these, uh, people call it the deep state. I call it the administrative state because it's right up in your grill these days. Uh, these actions that are, they seem counterintuitive like, and we're going to play you a video of, of Mitch McConnell in a second during the number segment where, you know, they're sending billions of dollars to fund wars, but then there's homeless people on the streets in their countries. I don't think that's because these people are inherently evil. They're just incentivized to do that. Why? Because of Fiat and like, think about it. If you're a politician, you get elected, what are you incentivized to do? Are you incentivized to do good by your constituents? No, you're incentivized to get as close as humanly possible to the money spigot. If you fix the money, right? If you, if you have a sound money society and politicians don't have this elite privilege of being able to create money for free that everyone else has to work for, what is their only other mechanism of raising money or staying employed? They have to go directly to their constituents and say, listen, I have an idea. I'm going to raise taxes in order to pay for this.

"More over unlike the Democrat Party the Republican establishment would rather betray its own base conservatives and try marginalize to it than battle the Democrat Party preferring to make appeals to the Democrat Party media demonstrate their supposed bipartisan common sense in pursuit of temporary political power and positive media coverage Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and the likes of Mitt Romney Susan Collins Lisa Murkowski Chris Nunes Hutchison Asa and Chris Christie are but a few contemporary examples of this defeatist mindset it is also one reason why and they Republicans like them constantly target Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Cruz, Ted Mike Lee and others who understand the nature of the threat and are willing to confront it takes uncommon fortitude, principles and foresight to recognize and engage the Democrat Party its surrogates and the American Marxist movements in addition to literally putting your career and freedom on the line you must deal with a rear guard action from the Party Republican even with all this I don't believe it can be said that the the Republican Party as an institution hates America or exists to again fundamentally transform America . it's not the home of the various Marxist movements that plot daily and in a thousand The Democrat Party seeks to effectively sideline the Republican party with repeated efforts to
The Financial Guys
A highlight from The Indictment of Donald Trump: A Threat to All Americans
"And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this to him, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 % right. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick, along with Mike Speraza. Mike, I think mostly we're going to talk about Trump today, but we have to talk about another dredge of our Erie County community, Mark Poloncarz. But we'll save a little bit of that news about Mark for last. Another fearless leader in New York. Man, what's worse than fearless? He's fearful. He's fearful of his own reputation is all he's really fearful of. That's what I'd say, but we'll save that for last. You do not want to miss his response to the two rapes by migrants, I should say. You do not want to hear his exact ... We're going to read the exact Facebook post. I won't even summarize, I'm going to read you exactly what he has to say. You don't want to miss that at the end of the show. Filled with compassion, I'm sure. So Trump indicted for a fourth time. This is not unexpected. This was by Fulton County DA Fannie Willis. This is for election interference and Trump and many others actually must surrender by August 25th at noon, Mike. Your thoughts initially on Trump being indicted for a fourth time. Well, it's not shocking because they've been telling us for weeks that they were going to make a show of this. Atlanta or Fulton County, they have literally been talking about this for months. They've been talking about mug shots. They've been talking about the whole song and dance of an actual bringing Trump in and going through the fingerprinting, going through the photos. They've been doing this and telling us this for months. So it's not shocking. What is shocking them, Mike, is that you've seen the polls, right? Every time this happens, Trump's numbers skyrocket. His fundraising skyrockets every single time. And now they're doing it again. And this might be the most ridiculous of them all because of the charade and the show that it's going to be. If I was going to use an example, if I'm a Barack Obama and I'm the leader of the party, not saying he is, but maybe he is, I'm saying to myself, the last thing that I want the media and I want law enforcement and I want the legal system to do is prop this guy up anymore because every time we do it, it backfires at us. I'd be like, keep this guy out of your mouth. Keep him away from you. I don't want to hear Donald Trump. I don't want to see Donald Trump. But no, they do the opposite. And I think their hope is, Mike, they get him on one of these charges. I don't think it matters. The people that are voting for Donald Trump, myself included, I'm going to raise my hand. I am voting for Donald Trump no matter what happens. He could get convicted on all 75 indictments and 400 years in prison. I don't care I'm voting for him. Now, if something came out that he was like a child molester or an actual murderer or something, of course that would change. But based on these four indictments, no matter what happens in the courtroom, Donald Trump is not, it's not even a question. He is my vote. I am voting for Donald Trump. That is the president. Yeah. This, this once again, I think shows how self -serving, narcissistic and how deeply Trump derangement syndrome runs in a lot of these people's heads like Fannie Willis. This is the, the reading, I guess I'll, I'll use this out of an article off of Fox. Let's, uh, let's see this by, oh, this was seven hours ago, Houston, Keene of Fox news. This says a 97 page indictment. The charges include violating the Georgia RICO act RICO. If you don't know what that means, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act often, I think you'd hear that it may be for mafia activity, drug activity, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree conspiracy to commit false statements and writings conspiracy to commit filing false documents conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree filing false documents and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Now former Trump white house chief of staff, Mark Meadows, attorneys, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesbrough, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, and others were also charged out of this years long investigation. Interesting Mike years long investigation. And here we are, August of 2023, just before presidential campaigns really heat up and debates begin. Let's talk about the timing of these indictments. I mean, we had Alvin Bragg start this whole parade off with falsifying business records, uh, you know, accusations against Donald Trump, which was total bullshit Manhattan DA, right? Alvin Bragg Bragg, next federal charges for holding classified records at Mar -a -Lago also bullshit. Go ahead. Justice department council, Jack Smith, then for the January 6th, uh, involvement, he says that Trump had basically instigating that whole event. And then further with, you know, just to layer on it, it was like icing on a cake. He had to hold Trump accountable for even more. And then finally Fulton County, DA Fannie Willis. So just the timing of this, it seems so orchestrated, um, I don't think there's any question in anybody's mind. I don't care who you are, that this has been an orchestrated attempt to take down Donald Trump. So in case nobody saw this yesterday, cause I'm sure you did, and I'm not saying you Mike, but people listening may not have, um, Sam bank from freed, uh, there was news that came out about him shelling out a hundred million dollars of stolen money, by the way, from his FTX funds to Democrat, uh, you know, nominees in the 2022 midterms. So the same day we see this crook, which we all knew were, was a crook by the way, you know, let's not forget that we all said this for a long time. This guy gave a hundred million dollars to democratic candidates across the country. That is on the same day. Also the whistleblower confirmed, um, some of the stuff in the Hunter Biden trial just yesterday. And then this comes out by the way, Mike, we forgot to mention this earlier, Fannie Willis, the genius that she is, ends up screwing up this indictment by the way, and putting it online for public knowledge before they even talk to the grand jury. Right, right. So they were working fast and they were working fast for a reason, right? This is just another show. And again, I'm here for it. I'm on the record. I'm here for it. Why? This is cementing. Donald Trump said he needed one more indictment. I'm going to say he needs one more thing. He needs the Fulton County mugshot and it's over. Once we get the mugshot, this race, not the primary is already over. The primary has been over. Once we get that mugshot, the, the 2024 race is over. It's over completely. That will set Donald Trump over the edge. His face will be on every t -shirt again, raising my hand, I'll buy 20 of them. The Donald Trump mugshot will take him through and carry him through the 2024 election. It's over. Yeah. And this, to your point about this leak, Fannie Willis essentially just simply said, I can't tell you anything. Of course you can't, right? So this was Monday. This is, this is official. The office of the Fulton County clerk or superior and magistrate courts has learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets to the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date and the name of the clerk of courts in concert are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such. This was not a simple mistake is what, uh, let's see here. This was Trump attorneys, Drew Findling and Jennifer Little who slammed this. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the DA's office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. How could that be, Mike? Well, how can it be and how can this not just be thrown out? You know, if anyone believes in rule of law and equal justice, how can this just not be thrown out? I think to your point, Mike, like I totally agree. I think nobody who has supported Trump from the beginning has lost the feeling of support for him. I mean, if anything, it's grown and grown and grown. And then the other thing is you just wonder, will independents or any, any liberals at all liberals like Bill Maher, will any of them say, I cannot, I cannot in my right mind vote for anybody on the left anymore. They've taken this far, far too far. And I mean, it's like basically over the cliff and they're falling, waiting to see how hard it's going to, you know, how hard they're all going to hit. Here's the problem, too. In the last six years, we've had numerous people challenge elections. By the way, two of them were that I'm talking about right now were liberals. Hillary Clinton still doesn't believe she lost in 2016 and is on the record saying that. And Stacey Abrams has it, Mike. So if you really give a shit about, you know, hey, we need to bring people to justice, then do it, then go after those two. This is my problem with this whole thing. Like all these liberals, like Harry Sisson, Mr. Gen Z, oh, finally getting justice. That's bullshit. And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams there. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this, too, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 percent right. What does he mean by that? They don't give a shit about Trump. They do, but that's short term. They know that at most Trump's got four years left. They give a shit about all of us that can think clearly and that know they're all full of shit. That's what they're concerned about. The MAGA movement, they're petrified of it. And they need to take out its leader. And they're coming after us next. I promise you that. Well, let's talk about what can actually work in terms of Trump getting elected, in terms of stopping this crazy liberal freight train. Is it simply election? Is it actually GOP members stepping up and actually getting the balls to do something? Like do something. That would help. Stop threatening. Stop reporting. Like they're the town criers. Oh, have you seen what's going on there? Whoa, that's wrong. Oh, my gosh. What's this Fannie Willis thinking? Whoa. What was Alvin Bragg's thinking? This is this is unconstitutional. You just hear it. It's like it's like just it's like white noise now. You just hear all the Republicans, those that even want to say anything. How about the ones that never say anything? What are we paying you for? Like honestly, what are we paying you for? You're not passing any great legislation. So how about you just get a set of balls and say something? Say in something support or in not support. All you like to do is is sort of thread the needle. Stay on that tightrope. You don't want to go one side or another of the tightrope. You feel like, well, if I support Trump too much, that's not going to look good. But oh, if I if I don't support him, oh, my gosh, what are people going to think of me? Like stop thinking of what others will think of you. And how about you stand up? How about like a Vivek Ramaswamy type of statement where you actually you understand what's going on in this country and you actually take a side and you don't care who politically the person is. You stand up for what's right or what's wrong. I mean, I'm so tired of this. So do you think elections will make a difference? Do you think that some GOP members can actually make a difference? Do you think the the judicial system might make the difference? Do you think a lot of these things are just going to go basically down? I don't see them going down in many of these states. I mean, in Georgia and New York, D .C., D .C. I mean, I mean, really, like you look at this and you think, boy, these just have to be appealed and probably all the way headed right to the Supreme Court. My thoughts, honestly, are the Supreme Court right now can help. But at this point, forget Kevin McCarthy, forget Mitch McConnell, forget all the bursar artists that are in Congress, forget them all. If there's one thing that can change this and it's you, the people, you, the people are the only thing that can change this political weaponization, this political persecution. And to be honest with you, this banana republic government we got, there's one thing you can do and it's vote and it's go vote for Donald Trump. That is the one thing that we can do, Mike. Forget the courts. Forget all that. Go vote for Donald Trump. That is the only thing that we as Americans can do. Your congressmen won't do it. Your congresswomen won't do it. There's less than I bet, Mike, two percent that actually know what the hell is going on or are not part of that uni -party. There's less than two percent. I'll say a Matt Gaetz is one of those, right? I'll say a Byron Donalds is probably one of those, right? Those types of guys are the people that we need. Now, again, even with them, there's not enough of them, Mike. We need us, the voter, to take care of this. Go vote for Donald Trump and get rid of the con men. Get rid of the B .S., the Bidens, the Clintons, the Obamas. Get rid of them all. Go vote and take care of it. So it's easy to become just sort of a witness or a spectator to all of this, right? We all sit back and then at your kitchen table or as you're having a beer, having some chicken wings here in Buffalo anyway, maybe across the country, just not as good. You start talking about these things. And then to your point, Mike, people at election time think they need to just distance themselves from these things. They need a mental health break. They need to just they need to just watch and see what happens. Let's just see how the cards fall. Well, this house of cards that Joe Biden's administration and he has built, it's coming down, guys. I mean, it's burning like Maui right now. And it's just it just hasn't come to your doorstep yet. That's the problem. Until it hits your doorstep, you're not evacuating, right? You're not jumping into the ocean like these people in Maui have had to do. It's just a terrible tragedy there, which, by the way, Joe Biden doesn't have any time to comment on. By the way, let's not forget that, you know, actual disaster going on in California and Hawaii right now. But Joe Biden, baby, he's got to go ride his bike. He's got a vacation. So don't don't interrupt that. He's actually headed, I think, this week to Texas or something to can't find his way to Hawaii, though. God forbid he does that or God forbid he sends his vice president. Can't do that. How vile is that team that he has around them around him? I mean, they're the ones running the show. We know that. So it's just a it's such a corrupt and vile group to not say we got to get Joe out in front of the microphone for this. I mean, we've got to at least talk about the lives being lost, the federal assistance that we're going to provide, just something. Not a thing. And that's not Joe Biden. I mean, Joe Biden can't can't make sense of anything. And we know that. Like, that's clear. We know that. I mean, there's so much evidence now to say that I can say it without really saying, well, you never know. No, we know. But his team. Yeah. I mean, Dr. Jill, what are you saying, Joe? Maui's burning like it'll likely be thousands of people will have died on Maui because of fires and extreme wind and spreading of the wildfires. And he doesn't set a word. And you, Jill, don't have a you know, at any like no respect at all, no, no decency to tell your husband, get in front of a microphone, for God's sake, and say something about the people on Maui. They're U .S. citizens. But to your point earlier about voting, that's the problem. People get what I call election dementia. They completely forget how we got to the extreme, horrible, horrible conditions that we end up getting to. And then at election time, Mike, right about now, somehow the Democrats are going to come out and say, wow, look what's happening. Climate change is destroying island, beautiful islands like Maui. Crime is it's just it's taking over American cities. We can change that. We will help you. We will give. Right. We're Santa Claus. We will give. And then everybody votes for these people again. Yeah. And by the way, you know, Mike, to point of we will give the we will give costs everybody that actually works money. Right. So it sounds great in theory. Yeah. I said this to my mom was text me the other day about I forgot what it was. And I'm like, oh, you didn't know that money just grows on trees. Yeah. You just go over there. I'll just pick off that leave. It's money like that. That's what government treats everything like. And like we talk about all the time, we're both business owners. If I say to a company that I'm doing advertising with, you know, just give me give me five million. I'll take five million dollars advertising. No, no worries. Then they say, Mike, you got to pay for it. Well, what? That's not to pay. I thought I only had to pay ten thousand dollars. What do you mean I'd pay five? That's not a good deal for me. Yeah. What? Well, Mike, you signed a contract to pay us five million advertising. No, no, I didn't. OK. You know what I'll do? I'll just go ask all my clients for an extra five thousand dollars apiece and I'll pay my advertising. You can't do that in business, right? It's the business owner, the government, that if you're going to make deals, you've got to live with those deals and pay for them, right? Not expect everybody else to. What they do, Mike, as you always say, is they'll make these things up, right? And then they'll say, we've solved the problem. Crime? Yeah, we can't believe it's so bad either, but we have the solution. No, Kathy Hochul, you are the problem. You are not the solution. Joe Biden, no, you are not the solution. You are the problem. But Mike, to your point, the way they market it is that this, you know, we're here to save you. The problem is the saving comes from our pockets and the listener's pockets and the people that work pockets, the people that are retired that work their asses off pockets. And even then, Mike, they take all that money from us and it doesn't do a damn thing because they don't know what to do with it. Contracts. I mean, contracts involve people that have an intellect, right? You got to understand what contract are you stepping into. You've got to have integrity to follow through on the contract, right? The two sides agree to something. And you've got to then trust that each other will actually abide by the contract. Those qualities don't exist in many of these liberal progressive minds, intellect, integrity, trust. It's all about them. It's all about them. And then the problem is they will actually sign contracts and then think that it doesn't apply to them, even though they signed it. Right. So I think it's out the window now, like the idea of compromise and, you know, let's let's make agreements and all that. It's out the window. It's out the window. These people don't care. We see it every day. We see crime in cities and then we're told, let's not hold these people accountable. Let's let's let's deflect from the true reasons for these things. Let's hold guys like Trump accountable for actions that we can't even prove. But you know what? He has he has all the right in the world, Mike, to prove he's innocent. Right. That, according to Nancy Pelosi, this is upside down. And it won't turn right side up unless we get a guy like Trump, maybe just maybe we get a guy like Vivek Ramaswamy either side by side with Trump or somehow integrated within a Trump administration. And then maybe I have some hope, maybe some more optimism. And lastly, before we get to our pal Mark Polancarz, I do just want to say I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. And I mean this right. I don't care if you're a liberal, if you're independent or if you're conservative. If you think that this is the right way to do business in the United States, I say do business, not actual business, but you get what I'm saying? If this is what you think the right way is, then you need to go do some history on the Stalin regime, on Hitler's regime, on Benito Mussolini's regime. Do me a favor and go read about that. In those days, there were no such thing, Mike, as opposition, right? If you opposed, you got killed, right? And we're not killing Donald Trump yet, by the way. I'm going to say yet because I think that's next when all these sham four indictments don't work. That's where they're going next, right? So I hope Donald Trump has his taste testers. I hope Donald Trump has the secret service because I fear for that man's life and I pray for that man because I'm seriously concerned about it. This is dangerous. And if you are an American and you think this is the right way, there is something seriously wrong with you, right? Something said, you know, people could say, oh, Donald Trump said lock her up about Hillary. Okay. He did say that. Did he put his whole Department of Justice against Hillary Clinton like this? Did he do any of this? Because I don't think he did. No. Right. And some people wish he had done that. Right. I mean, a lot of us. Looking back, he probably should have. A lot of us say that might have been the only place he went wrong. He had a couple of years in power and he could have really slammed the door on all these accusations about Hillary Clinton and the bleach bidding of documents and the slamming and the smashing of cell phones and all that. He didn't do it. And we wish he would have. Would it have changed, turned the tide? I don't know. You know, we won't know. But after two years as a president, he kind of lost his ability to do it. I mean, he started to focus on America, which I'm glad he did. But I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll have to see how this one more indictment changes, turns the tide. Again, I think stalwart Trump supporters are not swaying. It's a matter of getting others to say, what on earth will it take for you to say this is a liberal, far, far leftist government that doesn't care about justice for all? Are you going to continue to align yourself with them or not? And time will tell. Let's talk a little bit about Erie County executive Mark Polancarz. Mark Polancarz has often been there at the forefront of cleanup, is what I'd say. One that comes to mind, Mike, was the winter storm and not adequately preparing and actually declaring an emergency. So I remember it like this, and this is just my recollection. We knew, we knew from the Midwest there were nasty, massive storms coming across the country, right? Ice storms, devastating winds like 70, 80 mile per hour winds. They were on their way. So we knew that the night before, let's say 10 o 'clock at night, 9 o 'clock at night the night before. And all through the night, we hear nothing. We hear nothing. We hear nothing. People get on the roads at 7, 730, 8 o 'clock in the morning, and then all hell broke loose. The snow was flying, it was blizzard, blizzard conditions, somewhat like the 1977 blizzard of western New York, of Buffalo. And everybody that was out on the roads was at peril. Many of them got stuck in vehicles. They ended up trying to leave their vehicles, and many, many actually died. And what did we hear afterward? We heard Mark Polancarz say, wow, this was just a devastating storm. Wow, we're going to try and get out there and save as many people as possible, right? We need to do all the right things. He came out, but he made a grave error by not pronouncing closing the throughway at 11 p .m. the night before, right? Or 10 p .m. the night before. Get off the throughways. Get off the roads. You will not be able to report to work, right? Government officials and everybody, right? They all love to do mandates, Mike. Why wouldn't he make a mandate then? So anyway, he's always at the forefront of the cleanup efforts. And he does the apology tour or the, you know, I'm not that bad. Come on, this went wrong, but I'm not that bad. What did he say of late? So this was sent to me actually by Stefan Mihaylo. Here we go. This is a Facebook post, folks. Now this is, mind you, a week after two people were raped, right? One person has tuberculosis in the area. All legal, by the way, shouldn't be here, okay? This is what he says. While the last few days haven't been the best I've had in office, I think back to everything this community has gone through since 2020. The COVID pandemic, the mass shooting, terrible storms, and the Christmas blizzard, the Damar Hamlin incident, Jason Arno's tragic death, and so much more. And know that a few political hits and rough days against me are nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what others have had to face. My team and I will come out stronger as we continue to work to create a better future for all. So as you can tell, Mike and I are a little hot today between the Trump indictment and this. Let me just say one thing. I'll turn this over to you, Mike.

"Justice Barrett wrote a concurrence there, which I think is as important as the opinion in West Virginia versus EPA last year. So, Mr. Lear, having put all that in to the record on the radio, a week from today, Senator Durbin and White House are pushing what I view as an unconstitutional bill, an attempt to regulate the Supreme Court, which is an independent branch. Does that bill have any prayer of making it into law? No, every single Republican on the Judiciary Committee is opposed to it. The Chief Justice can take care of whatever standards the Supreme Court needs to adhere to. Congress does not have the legal authority to dictate to the Supreme Court how they should handle these matters. That's it. That is that you can impeach. That's the only thing the Congress can do about a justice. Now, Mr. Leader, we all have opinions. There have been three controversies in the last two months. A blown up controversy about Justice Thomas and Harlan Crow. We've got a blown up controversy about Justice Alito on a fishing trip 15 years ago. And then we have Justice Sotomayor shaking down three point seven million dollars in book royalties from colleges and universities. Of those three, do any of them concern you? No. You know, the court, many of the liberals on the court have also accepted gifts. And it's just an effort to try to target this new Supreme Court. If they can't get their way on the merits, they go after the court itself. Chuck Schumer, for example, earlier went over to the Supreme Court, called out two of the members by name and said they'd pay a price if they ruled a certain way. When they can't get their way before the court, they simply try to destroy the reputation of the court. This is the same people who want to all of a sudden have term limits for Supreme Court justices or age requirements. They'll do anything to try to destroy the court. And they've had some success in driving down the approval rating in the Supreme Court. They have. But I wonder, is there any change to their proposed law after the Justice Sotomayor story came out? Because when they were working on the Alito and Thomas stories, they had kind of an open field. All of a sudden, they're going to run over Justice Sotomayor with any rule they come up with, because that's a pretty bad story from AP, not from ProPublica. But AP actually has a better reputation for being at least less partisan than ProPublica. What do you think? Are they going to draw back their fangs a little bit after that got out in the middle of the road? Well, I don't know. Durbin, who's the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says they'll take this bill up next week. So we'll find out, at least in committee, who votes how. But you're right. Sotomayor. And the liberals on the Supreme Court have also accepted gifts. And these articles, of course, downplay that and play up Justice Thomas. Now, you warned your old colleague, now gone, Harry Reid, not to break the filibuster, but he did. I think there's a warning here. They've got to know about these attempts to delegitimize the court. Is it going to end up delegitimizing the liberal justices? Do they have any concern over that? You would think so. You would think so. I think we'll know a lot more about whether they're really going to dig in on this. If Schumer were to try to put it on the floor, that would be an indication they abused this as a major matter. The attempt to delegitimize the court is coming from Democrats. There are a few vulnerable Democrats out there. John Tester, Sherrod Brown, I can think of a couple more. Are any of them going to be forced to vote on this? Because it does not work with the public. Nobody wants to go out to the court and the public except the hard left. Well, that will be up to Schumer to decide whether he wants the advantage of being the majority leader. I've been the majority leader and I've been the minority leader. The majority is better. It will be up to Schumer to decide whether to try to turn this into a major issue or just another item that goes nowhere. Do you think John Tester wants to vote on a bill about the Supreme Court? I don't think so. You're right. They've got three incumbents likely in very hard races. Sherrod Brown and Joe Manchin. My guess is they'd probably rather not deal with this. You know, Senator Manchin is dead Senator walking in terms of electoral re-ability because Justice is going to win there. Is he going to run for re-election, do you think? Is he what? Going to run for re-election, Joe Manchin? We don't know. We don't know. He has a very formidable opponent, Governor of West Virginia, Governor Justice, and it's not clear yet what Senator Manchin is going to do. John Tester is online saying you handpicked. You, Mitch McConnell, handpicked his opponent in Montana. I don't believe that, but I hope you're supporting him because he looks pretty good. No, that's ridiculous. The candidate he's talking about is supported by the Governor of Montana and the other Senator from Montana. They're the ones who recruited this candidate. So, Leader McConnell, I want to close by asking you about a surprise I had last time I was up in the Senate talking to a bunch of Republican Senators. The number one discussion was on name, image, and likeness. I was kind of blown away by this because Ohio State's got quite an advantage and I'm not willing to have the Senate legislate in that area. But does this come up a lot? I know you're a Louisville Cardinal fan and I know I listened to the ACC rundown yesterday on Buckeye Talk and they're not supposed to win the conference this year, but do you think there is a federal role in name, image, and likeness? Well, I think the colleges would like us to step in. The problem is if they don't come behind a particular proposal, we'll screw it up going through the legislative process. What I've said to them repeatedly is before we can act, we have to know what you want. It's a complicated subject. The Supreme Court decided nine to nothing. The way college athletics were being handled was violation of antitrust laws, so there's no substitute for us acting legislatively. It's a pretty big mess right now. What is Kentucky doing? I know you're close to the Cardinals, I know you care about the University of Kentucky, all the schools in Kentucky. What's the situation in Kentucky? Can they compete against, for example, Ohio State to the north? Yeah, they can. Each of the states are trying to act independently. Some states have passed legislation, some haven't. The biggest change, of course, is the portal transfers done immediately without sitting out and the ability to earn money in the NIL era. It's very complicated. We have a patchwork of state laws across the country that have done different things. They probably do need a federal solution, but we need them to come behind something and give us a recommendation as to what most colleges think would work. This is where I think Charlie Baker had to come up. Let me close with the NDAA, Senator. There are some House Republicans who want to cut off aid to Ukraine. That would be a disaster. I think it's a handful. Do you expect the NDAA to get done, and do you expect continued aid to Ukraine to flow? Yeah, we need the NDAA. The debt ceiling budget deal is not adequate for defense. It's important to win in Ukraine. I think it's the most important challenge in the whole world right now, and we can't afford to let the Russians win it. Amen to that. Senator McConnell, thank you for joining me. When I grow up, I want to work for a woke company. Like, super woke. When I grow up, I want to be hired based on what I look like rather than my skills. I want to be judged by my political beliefs. I want to get promoted based on my chromosomes. When I grow up, I want to be offended by my coworkers and walk around the office on eggshells and have my words policed by HR. Words like grandfather, peanut gallery, long time no see, no can do. When I grow up, I want to be obsessed with emotional safety and do workplace sensitivity training all day long. When I grow up, I want to climb the corporate ladder just by following the crowd. I want to be a conformist. I want to weaponize my pronouns. What are pronouns? It's time to grow up and get back to work. Introducing the number one woke free job board in America, red balloon dot work. I want to remind you, this book, Winston Churchill, the world crisis, volume one. I'm diving back into that with Dr. Arne. It's just an amazing book. I encourage everyone to get volume one of the world crisis. It came out in 1923, 100 years ago. It's like reading today's headlines. I am joined now by West Virginia Attorney General and the next, I believe, Governor of West Virginia, Pat Morrissey. Good morning, Mr. General Morrissey. How are you? I am doing well with you. I'm sorry about the video challenges, but I will tell you, it's great to be with you today. Love your show. Be fun to see you again. There's a lot of stuff going on and I'm looking forward to talking with you today. You're my second favorite attorney general after David Yost. I don't want you to be misled. David Yost is from Ohio and they have better lawyers up there. Nevertheless, it's great to have you on. General, when did you decide to run for governor? Well, I announced on April 4th and I've been thinking about it for the previous few months. Quite frankly, Hugh, when I looked at the needs that West Virginia had and some of the challenges that our country faced, I thought I could really make a huge difference as the next governor of West Virginia. Because I think, you know, and a lot of people listening know that the Republican attorneys general have really been at the forefront of going after federal overreach. And in West Virginia, I've been taking on the biggest challenges of the day, whether it's fighting off and winning against EPA and leading the charge. The West Virginia EPA case case leading against the waters of the United States rule now leading against the insane tailpipe emissions rule where they're trying to push electric vehicles, make it 67 percent penetration by 2032. When you look at all those issues and you look at successful defense of school choice, Second Amendment advocacy and the work we've done to help West Virginia lift itself up, I thought there's no better place that I could accomplish that than as governor of the great state of West Virginia.

"Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt. I've been practicing law for 40 years. I've been teaching it for 25. And for the first time in my professional life, the Supreme Court is originalist. They actually care about the original understanding of the Constitution and its amendments. And that is because of my next guest. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell from the great state of Kentucky. Good morning, Mr. Leader. Great to have you back. Good morning, Hugh. Glad to be with you. I want to talk about your Washington Post column this week and how it was received. You made the argument, I think successfully, that only 5% of the decisions of the court in the last term were 5-4. Only 9% were 6-3. I think you upset a lot of people on the left by making the argument that the court is actually not political. Yeah. Apparently because Bruce Marcus came back the next day and tried to destroy my argument, which he was unable to do. What they really don't like is this is a Supreme Court that respects the Constitution and expects the executive branch only to carry out positions that Congress has authorized. Most of the left thought of the Supreme Court as sort of an extra legislative body that would help them get whatever they couldn't get through the people's elected representatives. So that's what's up here. Mr. Leader, over the last two years, I've called it the end of the Roe era, the Roe-Bake era. Beginning in 1973, the court became very political and would often reach decisions out of thin air. I think that's over. Do you think we've entered a new era of Supreme Court jurisprudence generally? No. Okay. Tell me where I'm wrong because I see originalism history. Well, I think your column is right on the mark in every respect. And we do have a different Supreme Court, but it's one that doesn't operate outside the Constitution or clearly laws passed by elected representatives. That is, I think their biggest push is actually going to dismantle the administrative state. And I saw Ruth Marcus arguing that's bad, but I actually think that's consistent with the Constitution and the Article 1 authority. Have you got members running around who are afraid of the major questions doctrine because they're going to have to do their work? No, I don't have any. And I think the major questions doctrine makes a lot of sense. And that was on full display in the student loan issue where they used a tiny little adjustment made during the pandemic to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student loans by people who can afford to pay them back.

Reporter Alex Jensen has more from Seoul. Aside from apparently sending a message to the U.S. and South Korea, one of the interesting aspects of North Korea's most recent missile tests is the diversification of launch sites, possibly to avoid interception. The north's latest launch of two ballistic missiles took place in an unusual location in the southwest of the country after Sunday's test conducted from a submarine. South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said the latest launch was made in the morning, but did not offer further details, such as how far the missile actually flew. Stay tuned. Ukraine is in a pitched battle right now with Russian mercenaries in Mahmoud to gain control hopefully of the largely destroyed city in eastern Ukraine.

Aside from apparently sending a message to the U.S. and South Korea, one of the interesting aspects of North Korea's most recent missile tests is the diversification of launch sites, possibly to avoid interception. The north's latest launch of two ballistic missiles took place in an unusual location in the southwest of the country after Sunday's test conducted from a submarine. South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said the latest launch was made in the morning, but did not offer further details, such as how far the missile flew. Ukraine now in a pitched battle with Russian mercenaries in bakhmut in the east to gain control of the largely destroyed Ukrainian city. The U.S. has been advising Ukraine's president Vladimir zelensky to let the Russians have that city and move on to the next more consequential goal, the south of Ukraine. But zelensky has ignored the advice and is keeping his troops in bakhmut. National security correspondent JJ green. Good looks as though Russia has the upper hand in bakhmut. One scene remains unchanged. Our resolve and our will to defend our country and to liberate our country and to fight for every Ukrainian. And for every inch of Ukrainian territory. That sucks Santa mar, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S. in an exclusive interview with WTO What's driving zelensky is his generals telling him they can win the battle of attrition. The front line in bakhmut in uglier. She says in all of those places and beyond, it's important for Ukraine's military to stand strong. More than ever, it shows that we need to win. We need to win. And we need to get faster to just and blast and peace. National security correspondent JJ green producing that report. Meantime, the United States says it's concerned that China will provide lethal weapons to Russia to help in its invasion of Ukraine. Tonight in an exclusive interview on NBC nightly news, prime minister of the UK Rishi sunak was asked whether he'd support sanctions against China. With sanctions, it's always something that is best done coordinated with allies because for sanctions to be effective. We have to do them together. The strong message I'd say to the international community is going to continue to buy it today, Russia, because what they're doing is illegal. It's wrong. And provide support to Ukraine quickly, because with that, they can really make a breakthrough in this war and bring this conflict to an end. Schumacher went on to say he sees China as a systemic challenge to the world order.

"Can't do this. That democrats haven't thought this through really does tell you that they forgotten how to govern. They forgotten how to be the majority. They were so used to their giorgis being so big. They don't understand how to be a close majority where they can only lose three votes in the house. And none of the senate. It makes the centrist democrats more powerful and makes mitch mcconnell powerful as a minority leader of the senate and the democrats. Get grapple with it. And if they don't give the progressives what they want the progressive feud is gonna spill it even further. You may have alexandru. Cortez run against chuck schumer for the senate next year new york. Progressives will demand extract concessions from the democrats. If they can't get anything and right now they're getting nothing and if they do get it they set mitch mcconnell up to be the most powerful minority leader of the senate in a generation or two in the next hour we do need to talk about donald trump going down to georgia on saturday giving national republicans some serious heartburn even as their reports that senate republicans are starting to come to terms with the idea of herschel walker running for the senate in fact there is some news from a national journal that if republicans do have a wave it probably herschel probably won't matter he'll be able to be swept in one way or the other We'll get into that but President trump essentially saying he would prefer stacey abrams to bring up is giving republicans heartburn. We will get there but before we do. I just question. Where is joe biden if you listen to the complaints from democrats in congress. It's biden has been absent that he has it Has it been engaged. There's new polling out that suggests the public thinks he Mentally is not as sharp as he used to be. Shall we say there are real concerns there. And he's not engaged in the fights that the democrats need him to be engaged in. He's just not. He's nowhere to be seen in the people in the white house who are doing his bidding tend to be of the far left so they're not very accommodating to the moderates concerns he he doesn't have someone running his legislative shop who is mindful of the concerns across the board of the democratic coalition. There are only concerned with progressive concerns. It seems and the result is a white house that is adrift a white house. That can't figure out what's going on. A white house that is unhappy unfocused undisciplined and unable to build a democrat coalition to get democrat initiatives over the finish line who cares about republicans all the fighting is within the democratic party right now and they can't build a coalition to get anything done so now comes word that democrats really do expect to lose the house next year. Which is why. They're so angsty about getting anything done now..

They have an opportunity to pass this stuff without republican help and they refuse they don't. They're their their discombobulated so republicans attacking if they pass it for raising taxes and spending too much. Republicans attacked them. If they don't pass it for not being able to legislate for not being able to govern with they control everything. The democrats have painted themselves into this quarter and by the way they just want to get out of the tunnel. They wanna head into the light and the light that they're headed into his mitch mcconnell's fast-approaching debt ceiling drain. He's going to run them over on that. Now that's fight number three the debt ceiling democrats can't agree on the price tag for reconciliation. They can't figure out a compromise that placate progressives and moderates the progressives have seen. Let's see they didn't get the voting rights act passed. They didn't get their other voting reform package pass. They didn't get the minimum wage increase passed. They didn't get amnesty pass. They haven't gotten filibuster reform. They want this. They didn't get nita turner in the house. Progressives need a win they want a win. they're blaming the democratic leadership for denying them their winds. It's not going well for the progressives and on top of this fight number three the debt ceiling the debt ceiling has to be raised in large part because of the democrats spending plan therefore republicans have said. You're gonna have to put the debt ceiling reconciliation. Or we're going to filibuster and the democrats can't do it the democrats you've got to understand the time here. The democrats have convinced themselves. They can't just write a bill saying we expand the debt ceiling. no no. They say it's going to take weeks to get to it because they're tied up with infrastructure. They can't talk and they can't walk into gum at the same time. So the democrats say the republicans are going to have to vote for the jets in mitch. Mcconnell and the republicans say nope the democrats think. Mcconnell's played chicken. Mcconnell isn't playing games at all. he's destroyed democrat dream. See the only way for democrats to pass. The debt. Lead increases to stick it into reconciliation. If you stick in reconciliation to bypass the filibuster you have to gut half of your reconciliation plan because remember it's gotta be deficit neutral. Raising the debt ceiling is going to impact the deficit. So the democrats don't want to put it in reconciliation. Democrats want it as a standalone measure. They demand republicans. Vote for it. The gop say no and that gets to the fourth fight the continuing resolution. There will be a government.

The warehouse are keeping their eye on it but the the federal the officials who were supposed to be watching it when they went off duty shortly thereafter twenty minutes later and alarm went off. Adore of the warehouse was seen to be a jar and no one replaced those officers for hours later so there doesn't seem to be any evidence of tampering. It does call into question that there might be chain of custody issues. So this story continues to unfold and in k. and some of the bad press that he's gotten or the attempted bad press as like. Why are people still fighting this thing. Six seven eight months after the election. Will he started in december. So we were. We were following this. We started interviewing him every single weekend. In december and we were eagerly awaiting january six because we anticipated that there would be a process as they went through the electoral certification state-by-state. That there would be an opening to have an investigation. There was reason enough to have a couple of weeks investigation and then the the incident that happened on january. Sixteen six actually disturbed the process that election integrity activists wanted to proceed. So i always considered that a false flag and mitch. Mcconnell comes in at the at the end of that day. I mean they just let the national guard go home on may twenty third mitch. Mcconnell returned to work that evening so the quote insurrectionists all got on the bus by sunset and he went in and then certified the election. That is a really really vici- efficiency process and one of the other things that we saw videos coming out of cops walking co-protesters the capital really fishy spoken on stuff and Another even more obvious example came up over the weekend where there is a video that appears to show a republican. Senator state senator. I think in oregon letting quote violent protesters into the capital that. I didn't see anybody who looks violent. But this just adds to my feeling that this stuff was a setup that these that that the that it's an inside job or astroturf or however you want to call it. But i don't buy that and i do see though the purpose of it all is to what i've been anticipating since obama era that they're going to put these elections in the hands of the feds and then you really won't have any transparency either only so many cops the you can see open doors for violent protesters before you go. You know. maybe this wasn't too legit right. Maybe they weren't actually just trying to read iraq like like as if they were taming lions you know like they were trying to redirect these quote violent protesters militiamen armed with selfie sticks the halls anyway.

"It's muddied the agenda of the ruling party by not allowing it to go forward that ruling party to go forward with a bold agenda that they were voted into an have so it's muddied that ability for the winning party to be able to move forward consequently it dilutes and prevents the kind of big change that we need like right now so barring the fact that it's probably not going to get removed. There's some democratic senators that Like joe manchin and a few others that don't want to get rid of the filibuster so let's assume that that's not an option as a result of that consensus not being there. So here's some of the things that the brookings institution is laid out that could be done to modify the current rules that we have so one of the most disgusting aspects of the filibuster. I think folks is that it's used to even prevent opening up an issue for debate. So they don't even let you get to a debate for god's sakes with this filibuster they just start. You know debate. You know talking at length so you don't even get to the point where you can open up the issue for debate so you could prevent that by from happening by preventing senators from filibustering the motion to proceed so that could be off limits for the filibuster number two you could weaken the byrd rule that limits adding extra provisions into bills passed by reconciliation. Now bills that are passed by reconciliation like obamacare for example they only need a simple majority vote however reconciliation has limits on how many bills it can be used to pass in a given year for different types of things so it has limitations and we could though weaken the byrd rule. That says you can't add things into bills that are being passed by reconciliation to get things into bills passed by reconciliation. I know this is kind of weirdly inane and sort of complicated stuff. But it has a bearing on where we go. As a country with the mandate that we currently have right now the democratic mandate so thirdly one of the most straightforward ways and one of the most common sense ways to dilute the efficacy of bills blocked by filibuster would-be to simply say that a senator can filibuster essentially keep debating an issue as long as he or she wants but he has to be physically present to do so so that keeps them from handing off you know starting a filibuster and then handing it off after four hours to another senator on the floor. That hands it off to another senator on the floor that just keeps going ad infinitum. Hey look if you wanna filibuster you've got to be there You know you brought it up. You're the senator that wanted to filibuster great. You know we'll all sit here for twelve hours. Twenty four hours. But you've got to be the one to stand at the podium and keep talking if you want to filibuster to stand so this would obviously prevent a filibuster from going on indefinitely because you know let's face it. A lot of the senators are old. I mean they're good for what about twelve hours of yapping constantly and you know they just fade. So i mean that would be one way to do it folks but The fact is that. We've we've got to do something here. Because i understand that. Mcconnell didn't change the filibuster rules while trump was in office and that's and that was great. That was a nice thing to do. However you know we've got You know extr extenuating circumstances right now with this pandemic and we've got to get things passed so we can't look back in and say yeah..

Is not opposing the impeachment trial of President Trump signaling the two men are no longer happy together. If you do not understand that reference, shame. There is no doubt that the traditional leaders of the Republican Party want nothing further to do with Donald Trump. However, they have a problem because so many Americans continue to support him and believe he is being treated unfairly by the establishment. So the eternal and other GOP power brokers should be very careful if they want to keep their power. President Trump is not a man to be easily dismissed. Road back to authority for Mr Trump is paid by just one person, Joe Biden and I'm not talking about running for president again, which is a long shot, but not impossible. For Donald Trump. No, I'm talking about political influence and credibility. The conniving Nancy Pelosi in Charles Schumer well understand that President Trump will retain people power. That's what is driving this absurd second impeachment. Donald Trump. Did encourage Americans to protest the election results. Absolutely he did that. But he did not. Ever contemplate violence, especially that occurred on January 6th. Maybe he should have contemplated that. But a misjudgment even when it's drastic is not a removable a fence for a president. Therefore, the latest impeachment is designed for just one thing to finish Trump forever in the political arena. At this point, the betting odds are that Mr Trump will not be convicted in the Senate. Schumer needs 16 Republican senators to support the Democrats. A few, like Mitt Romney are salivating to cancel Trump, but most are not. Now back to President Biden. The smart play would have been for him to discourage impeachment in the name of national unity. Instead, Biden did his best impression of punches pilot and stood aside. Are you surprised it would have taken courage to go up against the howling left wing mob. The overreach by Democrats and their media allies is just getting started. And it is here where Donald Trump might benefit. First the cancel culture. This despicable trend is owned exclusively by the left. The cruelty on unfairness of the effort is obvious to any decent person. More traction to cancel thugs get the more anti liberal backlash. There will be immigration soon the southern border will be under siege again because President Biden is sending open borders signals. That chaos will anger many Americans. Finally, the economy already, gas prices are rising because oil companies know Mr Biden will hurt them. So the energy moguls are stockpiling cash, and that hurts working people. I could list many other examples. But here's the headline The President Biden's liberal policies fail, and that's almost a given.

Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania Senator Lisa More Kowski of Alaska. I do expect Mr Markovski to leave. The Republican Party's not really Republican, as you know. Um, Congress from Adam Kissinger of Illinois Guy, a Russian Thaler, Pennsylvania, John Capt. Cho of New York, Fred Upton of Michigan, Jamie Buechler of Washington State. They're all Republicans. They all want to see. Trump impeached Joe Manchin. Democratic senator from West Virginia, does it He's the only defector on that crew that I have noticed. Right. Let's think when you think you know I gotta run these polls and I'll tell you, which polls reliable which you're not Let's start with the CBS poll. 1500 U. S residents Um In general, How would you describe your political viewpoint? Liberal 27 moderate 30 conservative 32. So in this CBS poll, more conservatives and liberals, here's the question, as you may know. This week. The house who will consider impeaching Donald Trump alleging inciting violence government against Governor Yusa, would you favor oppose the impeachment on these charges favor, according to CBS poll, 55 opposed 45. All right. Bye party. 80 80 Democrats support Only 15% of Republicans support Independence Breakdown favor 54 pose 46 That pole doesn't Strike me as being crazy, however. McLachlan pole, and this is favorable to Republicans. 800 registered voters 17 battleground states asked, Um, whether you think this is a good idea at this time to impeach President Trump 60% of voters say it's a waste of time and money in the mug Lachlan Pole. That's exactly the opposite of the CBS poll. 40% agree that President Trump should be impeached. Now there is AH website called Political. A lot of people have asked me about it and mail. It's a left wing website. And I thought it was just left wing. But now I can tell you it's dishonest Politico. So they site on the number of polls morning, Consul Quinnipiac, PBS Maris all of those polls. All three of those Um, we're way off in the presidential election. Not only of 2020 but 16 as well. So none of those falls of any credibility at all. Not yet these air the three that political right about today. And they say that, uh, President Trump's job approval ratings crater. All right, because citing these three poles, which have been terribly wrong The two most important polling things in the last four years Now Rasmussen does a daily tracking poll. Political does even mention it Now why would you not even mention it? If you know they do it daily, tracking Paul, the only pulling agency that does How would you mention it? Because politico doesn't want Give you information that my counter their left wing point of view. That's when I turned to set off. All right. So the rest of us have pulled today. 46% of Americans approved President Trump's job performance 53% disapproved. I think that's probably right. That's pretty close and rest wasn't has been reliable. Now let's get Torto, the Senate majority leader for another week. Mitch McConnell from Kentucky. So the headline in The New York Times yesterday, all right? McConnell said to believe impeachment would make it easier to purge Trump from GOP. Here's a headline, okay? Now. The article was written by Jonathan Martin and Mark Maggie Haberman. Now Miss Haberman is perhaps the biggest trump hater in the entire universe. She has done at least ah, 131 anti trump articles using anonymous sources. Ah 131. With no names. This is Incredible. One moment. Working in The New York Times. 131 times at least Was used anonymous sources to cripple Donald Trump. Okay? Does that matter? No, it doesn't matter. All right. Doesn't matter at all. Do your time's a deadline. McConnell wants the impeachment. Really? Finally get Donald Trump. So my first Instinct. Woz, This is ball. But then my journalistic Training kicked in. And I asked my staff A check with McConnell's office. All right, And we did now McConnell hates me. Because I embarrassed him over capes law, and we'll get to that tomorrow. So the fact that they didn't answer us. Is an unusual but McConnell's office didn't put out a statement to anyone. Not even the local people in Kentucky. Refuting this headline in The New York Times. Ha ha! Tells me McConnell wanted this out. All right. Why would he do that? Well, Trump is disparage. McConnell and McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao resigned last week. As secretary of transportation. She quit. Over the Capitol riots. Now it grows thicker. So this story could be true. Except McConnell as I just told you. Said. No, we're not gonna hold this trial. Now. Schumer when he takes over on January, 20 He may try and humor would do that. McConnell's not making it easy to do this, but I think McConnell maybe enjoying Trump. Getting impeached in the house. So once in New York Times says something Alot of the far left press. Pick it up. It doesn't They don't care if it's true or not, as long as it makes Trump look bad. CNN headline McConnell told associates. He believes Trump committed impeachable offenses. How would CNN no. Is that once the source cited, how would they know Political? There you go. Republicans begin turning on Trump NBC News with another piece of all Republicans. Finally reckon with Trump. Is it? Seattle Times.

Blair for the heart breaks You really better off watching something like this and any I think they're actually in competition with any new think. Actually, you have to choose either watching this self or no. I'm not from. This is why you're splitting what time we're on. But it's better than news. I'll tell you that so sick of watching James, you got to come down and play with some point, You know, I mean, it's almost like live and what you saw there is we had those bands. Those iconic people come into the lock 100 studios upon our stage here and actually play fact that turn me turn the camera to the state so people can see what that looks like. Well, that's they actually came into the studio types it and they came in here on our stage right there. And they performed live Those like people which we obviously someone we had to pre tape them will be live tomorrow. We're gonna play their segments, but, yeah, it's really good stuff. So, James, you to come down here and do that with us, Jerry Rainy, really good time, but that is very spacious stage. Very nice. Well, you know, there's a short stages today, so that I made it for rusty to do Stand up. Yes, the covert comedy club opening soon. It's exactly so. So somewhere. So Jesus talking about impeachment. Some feel that this is Punitive I happened, You know, as an independent, I feel it is very punitive. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of resource is, you know it could never get done. But the interesting piece of saying this boy is Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell. Take That fact. Here's little from his chambers. Miss McConnell heard yesterday, talking about Donald Trump. Don't do it. You're fired. I see you do it again. You got such a turtle, so nobody happy could give us your overview on this, because obviously it continues. Michigan. Mr. Connell took a turn Honest. No, not only look. The impeachment. Everybody understands is the president's done. He's going to be leaving. Impeachment is purely political, purely vengeful. And it It's not gonna happen in terms of the conviction because the president is likely to be a private citizen before they can complete a trial in front of that they lose their jurisdiction when he becomes approach. That was quick, though. Why are there people talking about it like like a Joe Manchin? Who, by the way, I like you, a man because he's a centrist. But Joe Manchin said We could do this after that. Why would he say that? I don't understand what you know. First of all kind of teeth of that have and why would they do something like that? Because we live in a lawless age where people ignore the rules. Ignore the Constitution, and it could be the job man. She doesn't know what the fact is. The constitutional jurisdiction ends at the end of the president's term. You cannot convict him. Under impeachment. So actually, the second impeachment actually hurts. The first engagement makes you look less watered down or of the joke that itwas and the question of whether this is a high crime and misdemeanor constitution requires Is really resoundingly. No. Okay, No, James, before we lose it before it's out here today. I've got to talk about the vaccine. So, look, you have a warped operation warp speed that basically and people have to understand this. The science wasn't fast tracked. They just got to go to the front of the line. Do you understand? I mean, there's all these drugs trying to get approved And the reason there's such a long arduous process is two things. You got to take time to test it. You gotta you gotta have a peer review. But then again, there's 50 thousands of people in front of you. So the barbarism worse speed was basically taking The visor, the Madonna, the J and J and putting it in the front of the line, saying, Everybody else is backed up for a minute..

"Going through the timeline after President Trump gave his speech and after vice president Pence made a statement that he was not going to actually overthrow the constitutional process. Senator Cruz got up and explain why he was issuing election challenges. Recent polling shows that 39% of Americans Believe the election that just occurred quote. Was rigged. You may not agree with that assessment. But it is nonetheless the reality for nearly half the country. Okay. This is a very, very, very poor argument. It is a bad argument that because a lot of people believe a thing therefore we're going to misuse the legal process in order to in order to what make excuses for the thing that's not going to end with anything changing. Okay. The reality is, as I have said again. I have very consistent standards. When it comes to this sort of stuff. Allegations must be substantiated by evidence. We have over 50 court cases in which these allegations were not properly substantiated by evidence. We've had open Senator. We have had open legislative hearings in a variety of purple states in in in states that that went from Trump to Biden. We have. We've had a serious of hearings in which the evidence presented has been has been put forth. It has not been particularly convincing. Just because a lot of people believe a thing does not mean that you should grant legitimacy to the thing they believe when the evidence is simply not there. So Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, he gets up and he says exactly this and frankly good for McConnell. Good for McConnell. So here's Here's Mitch. I've had many problems. Mitch McConnell over the years. This is not one of them. Here's Mitch McConnell saying that listen Regardless of what you believe The evidence of fraud is not honest. It has not been substantiated to the scale. Where would overturn the presidential election. This is obviously true based on the evidence that has been examined at this time all rumors to the contrary. They did several re votes injury recounts of the vote in Georgia. They investigated all the allegations in Georgia up to and including the allegations. The dead people were voting off, too, including the allegations at the state for Marina. Here's Mitch McConnell, saying the evidence is not there. Nothing before us proves Illegality anywhere near A massive scale. Massive scale. It would have tipped the entire Election. And McConnell then continued, he said, again, one of the things that's happening in this country. It's pretty egregious is we cannot have separate sets of facts that are being put forth. We cannot keep drifting apart. Into two separate tribes. The separate set of facts. And separate realities. With nothing in common except our hostility towards each other and mistrust for the few national institutions. That we all feel share. Okay? And then, finally, McConnell concludes, And he says, if the election were actually overturned, If some of these folks got what they wanted, we would basically be in a civil war, which is, of course, correct. This election were overturned. My mirror allegations from the losing side. Our democracy would enter a death spiral. We'd never see the whole nation except Election again. Every four years would be a scramble for power. At any calls. He's McConnell was right about all of them, he said. As this is happening, President Trump tweets out against Mike Pence. Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones, which they were asked to previously certify Yusa demands the truth. Well, this is where again Are you responsible for raising the temperature? You damn sure? Well are when you do that sort of stuff. And like what The vice president is gonna break the law. Congress isn't gonna break the law. The president has been making unverifiable, verifiable and in some cases first overtly falsified allegations about the nature of this election. Already coming up. Bring you the rest of the time line. What happened next? Well, that.
