Speaker 1 (00:03):
Morning Europe. About to enter the arena and join the
Battle to.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Save America with your host Sean Carnell.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good evening, America. This is Battleground Live, the show where
we kick ass and we take names and we lock
horns with the radical left. We never quit, we never surrender.
From sea to shining sea in everybody in between. Welcome
Patriots on this glorious, glorious Savage Wednesday. The chat is

(00:37):
hopping and popping. I mean, you all are excited about
Savage Rich Barris, and you should be because one of
the smartest guys in the business. We try to have
smart guys on this show, and I pride myself about,
you know, really trying to bring on people who are
smarter than me. In fact, that's what life is all about,
surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you. I

(01:01):
try to do that. But anyways, folks, thank you all
for being here. Savage Rich Barris on deck. It's got
a freaking crazy packed show for you today. This is
I mean, this president has accomplished for this country more
in going on three days in office than Joe Biden

(01:24):
accomplished in four years in office. The pace that President
Trump is working at is unbelievable. It's staggering to me.
The energy that this guy has is completely off the charts.
I saw a video, well, the White House called a
lid yesterday. It wasn't a video, it was a photograph

(01:45):
of the White House, and it was a lit up
photograph of the Oval and the marine still standing guard
outside of the Oval Office with the lights on inside. Well,
the White House had called a lid. I want to
say it like five pm, six pm Eastern Standard time.
But if a marine is stationed on the outside of
the Oval Office, it means that the President is still

(02:09):
inside working. And so even though a lid was called,
you still had President Trump working on behalf of a
grateful nation. We're really, really, really lucky to have this guy,
you know how. Yesterday I started the show talking about

(02:29):
this interaction between Peter Deucy and President Trump. Peter Deucy
asked him about Joe Biden potentially leaving a letter in
the resolute desk. Trump pulls out the letter and says,
I'm glad that you reminded me about this letter. I
might not have seen it for a couple months. Well,
now we know the contents of that letter. And it's interesting.

(02:49):
I'm very interested in the transition of power. I'm very
interested in presidential history. I'm very interested in the history
behind things. It's like the resolute desk in the Oval Office,
and you know the different busts and pictures that hang
in the Oval Office. This stuff I'm fascinated by because
it really if you look back over time, in the

(03:10):
way that the presidents decorate their office, the letters they
write to each other, the furniture they have in the
Oval Office, it's quintessential Americana. It's a tapestry. Weaves are
pretty deep and awesome tapestry of what it means to
be an American and how our country has changed over
the years. But the letter says, Dear President Trump, as

(03:34):
I take leave of this sacred office, I wish you
and your family all the best in the next four years.
The American people and people around the world look to
this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history.
And my prayer is that in the coming years will
be a time of prosperity, peace and grace for our nation.

(03:55):
May God bless you and guide you as He has
blessed and guided our beloved countries since our founding. Joe
Biden won twenty twenty five. Now we all know that
Joe Biden did not write this letter himself, and we
also know that, boy, it just seems like a pretty
damn thing to say to somebody who just what not

(04:20):
three months before that, was trying to throw this guy
in jail for the rest of his life, use the
power of the Biden Justice Department to crush his family,
I steal his business, I mean, honest to God, and
I shudder to even think this, but if Joe Biden,
God forbid, Joe Biden Kamala Harris had won, not only
would this nation be on I'm pretty damn sure it

(04:44):
wouldn't last for the next four years. It would be
perilously balanced on a nice edge, you know, poised to
fall into this liberal hellscape, dystopian you know, gender pronoun
era is abyss for the next thousand years. I mean
that's not hyperbole. I think that everything the Democrats represent

(05:06):
is diametric, diametrically opposed to what it means to be
an American. I think their policies present an existential threat
to our country, into the safety and prosperity of Americans.
All over this country, but Donald Trump would have likely
spent the rest of his life behind bars and probably
you know, passed from this earth a poor man. But instead,

(05:31):
you know, I think I think God had a hand
in all of this, folks. I really truly believe that.
And I really truly believe that God even though maybe
President Trump, and I'm not speaking for him, I don't
know how he feels about this, but maybe he put
President Trump in God and all his wisdom knew that

(05:52):
President Trump was the only person that could have withstood
what he did for the last you know, ten years
since he came down that goldensque later. Because the truth is,
I don't think there's anybody else that could have withstood it.
And I'm not even talking about the mental toughness and
the physical wherewithal to bear that hell that they put
him through. I'm top talking about the financial wherewithal. I mean,

(06:13):
you saw how these types of attacks broke somebody like
Michael Flynn, who is resolute and as tough as nails
and as strong as they come, but he had to
sell his house. I mean, he didn't have the billions
in the bank that President Trump did, which allowed him
to persevere. Which again, this is where I come back to.
This is why I think God put President Trump right right.

(06:37):
People tipping in the live chat. I see what I see, Bulldog. Yes,
you can tell it's cold. I'm trying. I'm trying not
to sniffle as I do the show. I'm sorry if
it's distracting, and it probably is, but it's freaking cold.
And I mean it's like twelve degrees outside right now.
Woke up it was negative fifteen. I mean it's cole.
I mean that we're out of pellet stoves. After the

(07:00):
pellets are out of pellets for our stove. After this
bag runs out, got a Rundown detractor supply and grab
some new ones. But yes, gets cold in here. So
thank you Bulldog Patriot for the rumble rant tip. Yes,
you know, I maybe we'll use some of the studio
funds for pellets because it's in the basement, right, it's
kind of adjacent to the studio. It heats and warms

(07:23):
the studio paying for utility, so that's kind of a thing, right,
that counts. Darius. Thank you Darius as well for my
sweater fund. I'm wearing a flannel. I'm trying to stay
warm again. You are the best audience in the world.
Thank you all. So the Democrats, this is really funny

(07:43):
one of the narratives that the Democrats have been pushing today.
They have been cheering all day and bragging all day
about the low ratings for the inauguration on television. And
what's interesting, the great irony about this is that I,
as I watched that, I thought to myself, well, yeah,

(08:05):
of course the ratings are low for ABC, NBCCBS, CNN, MSNBC.
Nobody effing watches those channels anymore because nobody trusts you anymore.
So really, the media is essentially cheering on their own
demise because they're just that dumb. Meanwhile, on X alone,

(08:27):
listen to these numbers about the inauguration. People were streaming
live streaming the inauguration on X and independent media platforms.
These numbers on X alone are just mind boggling. Four
point eight billion impressions, four point eight billion, with the
b impressions in six hundred and seventy three million video views.

(08:50):
Not to mention, people watched it over and over and
over again, and those views aren't counted in the numbers
that I just gave you. So that's a fifteen percent
increase in posts as compared to twenty twenty one four
point eight billion impressions, six hundred and seventy three million
video views. So yeah, and that doesn't even count rumble
in alternative platforms like YouTube. So yeah, the media is

(09:12):
one hundred percent cheering on their own demise, and folks,
it cannot come fast enough. Also happened today, coming right
off the top rope with all sorts of shit happening
with Trump and the White House, is Trump gave Vladimir
Putin an ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine or
face severe, severe sanctions. I'm not going to read Trump's

(09:34):
entire statement, but the gist was basically, I love the
Russian people. I don't want to hurt the Russian people,
but Vladimir Putin, if you don't end this war in Ukraine,
I'm going to sanction the hell out of your country
and crush you economically, and which will end up hurting
the Russian people. It might even put Vladimir Putin in
a very tough spot, meaning that if people just get

(09:57):
tired of the economic conditions as they are are, they
might take things into their own hands. And so I
like this move by President Trump, I do and come
part and parcel with this announcement today on truth Social
that he made. He also gave General Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg,

(10:18):
who is the Special Envoy to Ukraine, the task of
ending the war between Russia and Ukraine in the next
one hundred days, which is also pretty amazing when you
think about it. So Trump is a peacetime president. Trump
is pursuing peace aggressively. Hasn't even been in office for
three days now, and all of this news that I

(10:39):
just told you, Broke Zelenski is now on the heels
of all of this, asking for American troops to keep
the peace. And to that I say not only no,
but hell no. Now, if you have been paying attention
to this show, I've only been on a little bit

(10:59):
over a year, But what I have been saying and
saying and saying, and this is exactly what the warmongers,
the DC war machine, the uniparty war machine, Democrats and Republicans,
doesn't matter, the defense industrial complex, they all know this.
But the longer that we invest in Ukraine, the more
money hundreds of billions of dollars we spent there, the

(11:20):
more difficult it becomes to extricate ourselves. And the reason
is it is like, well, look at all this money
that we invested, We can't possibly leave now, not until
victory is ad And what ends up happening is they
make these small justifications all along the way, slowly escalating
what is a stalemate and what will be a stalemate.
They escalated to the point where American troops end up

(11:40):
keeping the peace on the ground, and that is absolutely
not going to happen. And I find it interesting that
on the on the heels of President Trump calling for
peace with Vladimir Putin threatening to put him in a
very difficult spot, giving the task to Lieutenant General Keith
Kellogg to bring out to an end of the war
in Ukraine in the next hundred days, that Zelenski comes
out and says, actually, we actually need American troops on

(12:03):
the ground right now to keep the peace. No, absolutely not.
We cannot tolerate American troops on the ground keeping the
peace between Ukraine and Russia. They will end up staying
there for the next fifty to one hundred years. Mark
my words. This has to be allied in the sand
for President Trump. And that brings me to Pete Hegseeth.

(12:25):
So in the Senate today there was a vote on
the Senate floor to advance Pete's nomination to a vote
to the full floor for a nomination. So that resolution passed.
So now the Senate can vote for Pete and a
simple majority will help him win the day. Now, I
have been hearing rumblings that Murkowski and Collins are likely

(12:47):
knows on Pete heg Seth, and maybe even McConnell, although
I would be very, very surprised by McConnell voting no.
I'll tell you about Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell, Yeah, yes, yes,
I'm not even going to get into the enigma that
is Mitch McConnell. I know most of you probably don't

(13:08):
like him, but Mitch McConnell doesn't tip his hand with
regards to how he's going to vote. Ever, so the
rumors about him voting no, it's very unlike how he
actually operates, how he's voted in the past on these confirmations.
So that's a question mark to me. But ultimately we've
got JD vance to break a tie. And here's here's

(13:29):
what else. The point that I'm trying to make as well.
Fetterman today was the only Democrat to vote to advance
his nomination to a full floor vote. You hear what
I said. Fetterman is the only Democrat to advance Pete's
nomination to a full floor vote in the United States Senate.
Do you see the registration numbers coming out of Pennsylvania

(13:51):
Over the last couple of days, Republicans added another six
thousand registered Republicans are actually we actually out registered Democrats
by six thousand plus total voters By the time Fetterman's
re election comes around, that we might out register Democrats
in this state, thereby functionally making Pennsylvania a red state.

(14:12):
Fetterman knows this. I'm not saying that he's going to
vote for Pete Hegseth's confirmation. I don't know how he's
going to vote. But what I am saying is that
if Fetterman wants to survive in the United States Senate,
he's got our start racking up Republican and conservative wins.
A very easy way for Fetterman to rack up Republican

(14:34):
wins is just by simply voting for President Trump's cabinet
and turning around and saying to people to his base
look like president's win, Democrat president's win, we get our cabinet,
Republican president wins, they get their cout. That's how it goes.
In fact, that's been his position all along. It's an
easy way to give Republicans a win without compromising the

(14:57):
overall democratic agenda. So keep your eyes on Fetterman. Does
this mean that I think that he's a conservative all
of a sudden, No, course, of course I don't. You know,
of course I don't. He will vote in line with
the Democrats when it comes to their major policy, progressive agenda.
He's gonna vote with them, I think, I mean, don't

(15:18):
get me wrong, I could be wrong about all of this,
But there's my point is keep an eye on John Fetterman,
see how he votes. So I've got Savage Rich Barris
on deck. I want to get his thoughts on all this. Okay,
So without further ado, I want to bring on Savage Rich.
I watched his entire show Oh wait before thank you
to Bumping Valves, he said, I bring Rich on. Get

(15:45):
his response to this too, He said, bro I paid
barras decent money for the cussing jar on his live stream.
Ask him when I get some profanity lace tirades? Rich,
can we get some profanity lace tirades? For the love
of god?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
What the fuck? Cutting Curson up?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
You know what? I right right off, right off the
top rope man, just like.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, Randy Savage, that puppy. Uh look, I was in
the numbers today, you know, we were going over the pole,
you know, and I get kind of.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Serious with that stuff. But he's right.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I didn't go off track at all today, which I
and by the way, my wife always always appreciates that.
She's like, good, you did good today.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Everybody's saying love me some F bombs. Everyone's laughing at
you in the live chat with me, I hope with me.
I'm not laughing. Did I say at you?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I mean they're laughing. Yeah, they're laughing at you because you,
I mean, not like looks like a Mennonite polster like that.
He's just dropping F bomb. Remember your outfit on Monday,
with your little three piece outfit, pulled the man you
could have put you could have put Malane's hat on,
looked just like an Amish polster.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
That's That's why I'm wearing the Federman today, all right.
I couldn't do that to I like that, I'll pull
on a Fetterman today. I don't think John's got any
Lulu Lemon in his closet, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Maybe I'm wrong. You never know.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
And I'm telling you man, I'm telling you I think
John's going to vote. Yes, I'm Pete. I you know,
I hope he does, but uh, I think he is,
or at least let me put it this way, after
a couple of things I've heard, I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, look, he voted to advance his vote. Like every
Democrat senator said no, so and I think there were
a couple of like no shows, but he was there.
Of the Democrats that sewed up, they all said no
except for him. So to me, that is significant. You're
breaking with your party to advance the vote. And I'll
tell you. You know, Pete and John Fetterman met together,

(17:56):
like you know, the Democrats wouldn't meet with Pete, Yeah, them,
John Fetterman met with him.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
That will yeah, And he would have met with other
Democratic senators. It's not because of Pete that he didn't.
They didn't want they this is what the game they play,
you know, Maszi Herono, all of them. And it's not
just Pete and BONDI tried to meet with numerous They
didn't want to meet with her exactly. So this is
the game they play. And then they act as if

(18:27):
you know, and you know how those one on ones go.
That's when you really sit down and you talk to
people and they see you as a human being, not
as a partisan opponent. They see you as a human being.
And this is the problem democrats. You know, they for
all of their name calling and their allegations about political opponents,
they dehumanize people. Sean, they dehumanize people. They reduce human

(18:49):
beings to partisan opponents on paper they take, they strip
them of their humanity. So when they do the horrible
things that they do, it's easier on their conscious but
it doesn't make them any less human. And this is
a game that they started. They started this game, and uh,
it's a shame, like, don't talk to me about unity,
don't talk to me about bringing things to your working together,

(19:12):
and so you start to treat people like human beings.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Rich I'm so glad you brought this up because it's
such a good point, and it talked and really I
exposed what I think that the this, this, these false
allegations against Pete, this last minute pushed to derail his
his floor vote nomination. So some so so so we
recap it Pete's brothers ex wife. So follow that Pete's

(19:40):
brother's ex wife, who by the way, is a crazy
trumpeting liberal, came out and said, well, Pete's wife. I
heard Pete's wife was a friend. I mean, it's all
complete bullshit. Come to find out today yesterday I said
it was bullshit. Come to find out today that she
is working with a hardcore democratic law firm. Right, So

(20:04):
there's that, of course, right. And as part of her statement,
and this really struck me, she said, I have been
assured that making this public statement will ensure that certain
senators who are still on the fence will vote against
hag Seth's confirmation.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Well that's that's a confirmation of what you and I
talked about in the very beginning of all of this,
which is that this is a show and they use
these fake stories to provide political cover for the senators.
Nobody actually believes these stories. And it's important everybody knows
this Senator Murkowski, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat.

(20:42):
They don't believe the stories. They just use them as
cover to be political cowards. And it's sad, but that
is the reality. And it's uh, you know again, you
know you're you want to be nicer to them, toward them.
That's you know, that's that's not my role, you know
what I'm saying, Like I just am trying to call
it how I see it. And frankly, you know, I

(21:04):
mean frankly, I don't think they deserve any level of
respect until they earn it from the voter. They've been
doing this and like stabbing people in the back and
ruining people for far too long without any accountability. And
I'll tell you this, Sean, anytime I hear a story
like this, you know what, I always say, let me
see the bank statement. Can I see the bank statement?
Because I know there's gonna be some payment from a

(21:24):
mark Elias or this one at this law firm, Like
it's is the game, you know. I hope it was
worth whatever they gave her. And I no doubt she's
gonna walk around walk away with a couple of nice
pieces for her wardrobe because they always buy them closed
to make them look presentable. They buy them closed, they
write them at check. It's a such a disgusting game.

(21:46):
And I'll tell you, man, the American public really doesn't
want to part in it anymore, in case nobody's noticed,
they don't want a part in this anyway. They don't
want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's so true and rich to me. So I read
this statement, and having on through this myself, I'm like, well,
holy shit, she basically gives her entire motivation right there.
Of course, I've been assured that making this public statement
will get Republicans to not vote for Pete. So right there, motivation,
that's the motivation. I didn't say it, you didn't say it,

(22:15):
she said it. And then the real question here though,
and I'm telling you this is everything, and the Senate Republicans,
I think they need to investigate this is who assured
this person that Republicans would vote against Pete if she
came forward with a false allegation. So if you're the
Senate Republicans, you're in the majority, right, and so somebody

(22:38):
is going behind your back and undermining And I don't
want saying it's a Republican doing this. Democrats could be
doing this, right, but it.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Likely is it likely is a coalition. It could be.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, so who's doing this, who's saying this? This stuff
is it's brazenly political. They don't treat people like human being.
In fact, they would be content to destroy Pete's life
and his family and walk away and never think of
it again, because that's how some of these people think.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Man, Yeah, I got to tell you. Immediately comes to mind.
And I'm not trying to beat on her. Lisa's a
dirty player. She is a dirty, dirty actor and has
been four years Sean. She sent elements of her staff,
they basically played musical chairs back to Alaska, where she
never goes back to Alaska, just so they could lobby

(23:31):
and change the law so that she could survive primary challenges.
Then she with ballface ballface says, I have nothing to
do with changing to rank choice voting, when it was
in fact two especially one member, longtime members of her staff,
that spearheaded that entire agenda, and then they got it through.

(23:52):
Why Because Lisa knew she could not survive in a
normal primary environment, so she had to change the way
the damn state conducts elections all by the way, in
a manner that would throw Then I warned people at
the time.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
You're talking about the rank choice voting, and that's the
only reason why she nineteen us to win in a primer.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
That's it. She would never be able to win without it.
And I told people at the time, good faith people
who were wondering whether or not to support this, I
told them at the time. One, they're going to throw
the at large congressional district to Democrats. So in order
to save Lisa, who needs the whole system change because
she's a two face betrayer and her voters don't want her,

(24:30):
she needs to rely on Democrats in round two to
get it through. And in order to keep Lisa's seat.
In order for Lisa to keep what she thinks is
her seat, you're going to throw the at large district
to Democrats. That happened, Mary Paltola won the race. And
then secondly, eventually in the in the mid term, maybe
even shorter, but in the short to midterm, a Democrat

(24:52):
is going to wind up representing that state in the
US Senate if they don't reverse this. And that's crazy
if you think about it, because we're talking about it
state that relies on an entire sector that Democrats are
against all right, so they would literally bury their state
economically if they ever had a chance to take that
Senate seat. And the minute she goes, I wouldn't put

(25:14):
it past her to not back the Republican who beats her,
but instead to join forces with the Democrats like she
did with Karl Rove in twenty ten against Joe Miller.
And that's how she survived that one. All Right, nobody
wins mass writing campaigns without organization, Sean, come on, give
me a break. Joe stomped her in the primary and

(25:35):
then he goes on to lose after Karl Rove and
her friends called Joe and say, gig's good job. I
guess we'll all have to unite together. Even though your
team did a great job. We're going to bring in
some people to help you because this is the big
leagues now, it's a general and we need to help
you out. Those people sabotage. Joe worked behind his back

(25:56):
and then got the Democrats to abandon their own candidate
right in for Lisa Murkowski, and that's how she made
it past twenty ten. So fast forward with Kelly right Chabaka,
she has to change the entire state system just to
be able to survive. So again, like she's been doing
these dirty, dirty things against her members of her own

(26:17):
party four years. It would not shock me if she
somebody in her office said, you get that story out there,
give Lisa cover to vote no, and you got your
no vote. I'm telling you, I am telling you, hope
that happened.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'm telling you, I believe it. I believe it.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I hope we're gonna tell you.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I hope that it's just the Democrat. I hope that
I'm wrong about her. I hope so hopefully she votes
for Pete. I mean, I'd be surprised if I really
would be legitimately surprised if she did. And hopefully it's
the Democrat making these assurances. But here, even if you're
even if it is the Democrats, the Republicans are the
ones and the majority, they're the ones that head up
the committees. These Democrats can't make promises to to anybody.

(26:59):
There's certainly can't be promising. They certainly can't be promising
that Publicans aren't going to vote for them. You know
what I mean, It's like.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Automn lawn that came from a Republican. I'm sorry. And
the likely suspect is Lisa, because it's Susan Collins doesn't.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Might vote, Yeah, she might, she might vote for Pete.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, I'm telling you she doesn't. Even if she doesn't,
she doesn't act like that, is my what I'm trying
to say. She doesn't deal like that, she doesn't operate
like that. Okay, I've never I can't give you a
single example of Collins doing something like that, not a
single example.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
And to be fair, like Collins like it's it's actually
kind of not It's not fair. I mean it is,
but it isn't in terms of like where you're talking
about how the state's political makeup. Alaska is a red state. Maine,
where Collins represents, is a liberal state. That sounds how
she wins it, you know, so like is it a

(27:58):
you know, I I kind of understand why collins voting
record is the way that it is. I would rather
have a Republican who's with us half the time the Democrat.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
But nomination votes are not going to cost your seat,
right study in that which I explained to them at
the time was the Kavanaugh vote. I I guarantee you
you will not lose because you voted for Justice Kavanaugh. Like,
that's not going to happen. You'll lose on a big vote,
like say a war resolution, like a state like Maine.

(28:32):
You could lose on a vote like that. You could
lose on a healthcare vote. Let's say Susan Collins voted
against a very popular part of Obamacare, like the protections
for pre existing conditions. That could cost you a seat.
I'm not even sure abortion could cost Susan Collins a
seat anymore. They tried that, They've been down that road.
They really went after her for Kavanaugh, including the abortion

(28:54):
industry piggybacked on that effort, and it didn't happen. She
didn't lead in a single poll. Yet she comfortably all right.
By the way, just so people remember that that was fun.
Democrat led in every poll, in every poll, and then
she went on to win handily. Was called in like
twenty five minutes. You know, a very very quick resolution

(29:15):
to the race. You're not going to lose because you
voted to confirm Pete hag Seth. And by the way,
you wouldn't lose because you voted to confirm Tulci Gabbard
or RFK. Like, people don't vote on this. The President
has won. The majority of the American public believes the
president is entitled to get the cabinet that he has chosen. Uh,

(29:35):
look look at all the votes for insane people under
both Obama and Biden. You got a Supreme Court justice
who made her way through the process no problem, even
though she couldn't define a man or a woman. Lloyd
Austin doesn't believe in civilian control of the military, something

(29:55):
that should terrify everybody and could if you made a
political campaign about it, could do real damage. And yet
that hurt nobody.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
He tells the name of the dude from Pennsylvania who
is our healthcare is a dude that pretends to be
a woman. He's like, the theme is.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Levine, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not going to
play the game by like, you know, dead naming or
saying the name that they prefer today. You know, like
you were born what you were born. And I told
people today in the show, I'm I'm dropping the entire
concept of gender in demographics. I'm a polster. I'm not
a social I'm not a therapist, you know what I mean, Like,

(30:33):
I'm not a left wing therapist. We have no data
on gender it's a fabricated term. It is a sex,
and the Census has never has never studied how many
people are deluded and think there are another sex when
they're not. We only know how many men there are
and how many women there are, and that is a

(30:54):
sex assigned to you at birth. There are, of course,
very legitimate cases of intersex people, you know, obviously, but
it is so minuscule. I mean, the Census Department doesn't
get into it. There's no way for these polsters. They're
just doing it for political expedience. They're doing it so
they could be like in the cool club bro, in

(31:15):
the cool political club. Oh look at me over and
I can shame some people look at me over at mammoth.
I now include binary. I'm so progressive, I'm so liberal.
How the hell do you know how many people are
binary in this country?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
There's no date on it.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
What are you talking about? How do you know whether
or not your weights for sex is appropriate or incorrect?
You don't know. We have nothing to go on. The
only thing we have to go on is the voter file,
which is male female, and the census, which is male female.
We have no I mean, honestly, Sean like Honestly, this

(31:51):
is we got to stop like these basic the way
they control the way we speak and the terms we use,
you know, because that's that's how it all spirals, sends
in a different levels of craziness. I'm not doing it.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Well giving Thune some credit thuone basically, Fune basically said, hey,
we can do this easy way or the hard way.
You know, we're having votes, so I think you can
anticipate a vote for Pete Hegseth probably Thursday at the earliest,
Friday night maybe, but then Thune could very likely keep
them over the weekend to keep voting, and and I

(32:24):
think he will. So far, Thune has been, as we
talked about on Monday, pretty damn awesome.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
You got to I want to recognize it.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I want to talk about in a second, Rich Trump
going like at warp speed, not not warp speed. He's
just working at a at a feverish pace right now,
speed me Trump the chat said in Rumble today, I'm
working at Trump Trump speed. Well, let me do it.
Let me do a quick read and then I'll bring
you back. Okay, sounds good, brother, I'm here, all right,

(32:52):
stay there, just be vaping. We'll be right, We'll be
right back with always you know, ok, I want to
bring back savage Rich Barris, who is the director of
Big Data poll and host of Inside the Number, also
the most accurate polster of twenty twenty four. So what
do you make of this? This Trump progressing at you know,

(33:14):
Trump for speed as you as you call it like today?
So today, just like a quick synopsis, he ordered the
Department of Defense to prioritize homeland defense, and he's deploying
immediately fifteen hundred active duty troops from North tom to
the border, with tens of thousands of more to follow.
He placed DEI staff across every American institution on paid leave.

(33:39):
He pardoned ross Albrick, and a total comms blackout for
the CDC, and nih, A guy just doesn't stop, Rich,
Like this guy is on fire, is he not? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
I will say this one first and foremost. Some of
these actions he I mean he they had to be
taken right so, and they had to be taken immediately, reinstate,
remain in Mexico, okay, and catch and release, declare a
national state of emergencies. So he took about those are three,
but he took about five actions, including the sending of

(34:17):
the redeployment of troops to the southern border. He's this
will work, all right. I mean, that's the fantastic thing
that we could all just sit here and and and
I don't want to say like you never take your
eye off the ball, but I am saying, like, that's
one thing already that he needed to address, and it
needed to be fixed. It was a major issue during

(34:38):
the campaign. He could not rest on it. But then again,
like that in and of itself is like so much
for an incoming president, and that isn't that's just a
tip of the iceberg. I Mean, there's just so much
more going on. Obama Biden did come in. If you
guys don't remember, I'll remind you. He came in on

(34:59):
his first and he started to dismantle everything Trump did
immediately with executive orders. He didn't even know what he
was signing. It was the saddest thing, Like you know,
you can watch He was like, what's this do? And
they were like, don't worry about it, just sign it.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Everybody else Johnson Mike Johnson saying that he didn't even
know he signed, like, have no idea, he had no
one didn't even know what he was signing, said he was, Oh,
he didn't sign an offshore drilling band. When he did
something having to do with energy, I can't remember, but yeah,
he's clearly his clue.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Biden's was he had no idea the audio was there.
I mean the media caught it at first and then
you know, began to try to like stop playing that clip.
But he had no clue. But the staff did, and
they started immediately dismantling stuff that Trump had done just
to be the anti Trump, even though those policies were effective,
and especially on the border, but it was such a big,

(35:50):
big issue during the campaign. You know, he recognized during
his speech, the non white voters are voted for him.
He said, I heard you. I cannot tell you how
many times did I come on your show, And you know,
with the voices fresh in my mind from Hispanic and
black voters, black mothers, you know what about me my
child's schools being used as a squatting zone for illegal aliens.

(36:11):
Nobody cares about us. We've been loyal Democratic voters for
decades and they are shitting on us. You know, so
some needed to do this for them, you know, like
if you it was that important, you know, and then
moving you know, moving on, I gotta tell you, I
mean from immigration. You know, the headlines with Putin is

(36:33):
just so big because people expected Trump to.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
I talked about this at my lead and I've had
to ask you about it. I'm glad you're talking about it.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yeah, I mean, people expected him to do things with
foreign policy, get hostages back, stabilized the Middle East. There
were so many, so many interviews that I remember before
the election, people saying Putin would never have invaded if
Donald Trump was president. The Abraham and maybe they didn't
know what it was called. But Donald trumpet a peace
deal in the Middle least. What the hell happened?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
You know?

Speaker 3 (37:04):
So him doing this is going to send a message
to voters that you know what, this is why you
voted for me. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Things
are getting back on track. We're going to get stability abroad,
We're going to get prosperity at home. He needs to
send that message. And immigration just had to be prioritized

(37:25):
it really, it had to be in those first couple
of rounds. The pardons are a little bit more controversial.
Ross Olbrick, I would just tell you guys this, you know,
the man is now the target of an unfair political persecution.
Once that happens to you, it changes your view. It
doesn't matter if Ross was an accomplished drug dealer and
potential murderer. You know, the fact of the matter is,

(37:45):
where the hell is the uh? Where's the John Adams?
And you okay, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether
or not he's a good man or a bad man.
If the system was corrupted when it targeted him and prosecuted.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Him, no doubt about it. I mean, and choose consecutive
life sentences. That's effing insane.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Insane. Meanwhile, why do you think we have politicians flipping
their shit that he designated car too all this terrorist organization? Well,
because now we have a bunch of politicians who deal
with terrorist organizations, that's why. And this guy is sitting
roddy in jail. Yeah for uh, I mean, depending, it
doesn't matter what you think is fair or unfair as
far as the actual charges against him or whether he

(38:25):
was a good guy or bad guts, how they carried
it out and the sentence that was imposed on him
is just insane.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
So you want to see this, this crazy threat.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Criminals in Congress right now, Sean, look at look at this.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Rich So I stumbled across this thread today about the
pardons and okay, because the Demos are freaking out about
Oh yes, so listen to this. I'm just going to
go through this for people. In nineteen fifty four, members
of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party shot five congressmen during
an immigration debate on the floor of the unit US
House of Representatives. Listen to this for the folks who

(38:58):
are just listening. Jimmy Carter commuted their lifetime prison sentences
in nineteen seventy nine. But there's more. Listen to this.
These convicted convictions prompted a Puerto Rican nationalist bombing campaign.
Bill Clinton pardoned most of the perpetrators in nineteen ninety nine,
but was rejected by Oscar Lopez Rivieira. Rivera received a

(39:18):
second pardon from Barack Obama and a personal performance of
Hamilton in his honor. But it gets worse. In nineteen
seventy one, the Weather other Ground Weather Underground detonated a
bomb in a bathroom below the US Senate to protest
American military operations in Laos. Nobody was ever arrested. For
the Act, and Bill Ayers, one of the ring leaders,
went on to become a close friend and mentor to

(39:40):
Barack Obama.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
But I don't regret setting bombs. That quote said, yeah,
it gets worse.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
It gets worse, and so Airs and his wife, Bernadine Dorn,
another weather Underground leader, both became university professors, and Airs
got a taxpayer funded position at the University of Illinois.
Mention of airs ties to Obama during the two thousand
and eight president campaign were denounced as racist. Listen to this,
so Arison. Dorn also raised former San Francisco da Chelsea Buden,

(40:07):
son of whether Weatherman David Gilbert and Kathy Buden, who
had been convicted of murdering three people during a robbery.
Andrew Cuomo commuted Gilbert's sentence in twenty twenty one. Buden
became a professor at Columbia and listen to this. In
nineteen eighty three, the Weatherman affiliates involved in the Buden
killings again bombed the US Senate look at this picture

(40:29):
right here. Bomb the US Senate as well as several
other government buildings in protests of American military actions in
Lemanon and Grenada. Bill Clinton pardoned these perpetrators on his
last day in office. I mean, the list goes on
and on and on, and here as the last one
of the perpetrators, Susan Rosenberg went on to become a
professional activist. She joined the board of Black Lives Matter,

(40:51):
a charity, and obtained taxpayer funded pension at the City
University of New York. But yeah, it's the January six
ers that are the problem. Give me a break. And
what's crazy is that? How like, yeah, right wing extremism,
my ass Like, these are all Democrat presidents, excuse it,

(41:14):
pardoning the most violent left wing extremists who were bombing
the US Senate building. Yet crickets from the national media
and an uproar over President Trump pardoning who clearly people
who were targeted by Biden's Department of Justice and the FBI,
grandma's who walked through the Capitol.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
I mean, it's just sickening to me.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
It's sickening my followers.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
People who are watch inside the numbers, they know that story,
especially the nineteen eighty three bombing, because we were talking
about it in context of Biden and other Democrats phrasing
J six protest as the worst attack on our capital
since the Civil War. Okay, and I'm like, what are
these people talking about? A left wing case group bombed

(42:01):
the Senate building. They also pinned They also pinned a
congressman in the stairwell and shot him to death. Nobody
did that on January sixth, Nothing, nothing like that happened.
The only person who was killed was Ashley Babbitt, an
Air Force veteran, who was unarmed and shot by a
Capitol Hill police officer who had no business holding a firearm.

(42:23):
I mean, nothing ever like that occurred on j six
And by the way, again with the Republican bashing, which
I'm gonna engage in right now, they have minimal criticisms
for when the Bidens and the Obamas issued pardons the
way they did. You know, they didn't they didn't threaten
to withhold a Senate confirmation. You know, they didn't threaten

(42:47):
to oppose the Senate confirmation over any of this. All right,
but you know, Lisa Murkowski's deeply disturbed by the blanket
partons of Jay six ers. Nobody bombed the Senate building, Okay,
and then there's countless as pardoned by Barack Obama cop killers.
There's the Jamaican woman who was on the run for

(43:07):
years until she was caught.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
She was a cop.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Killer, her and her man. I mean, it goes the
list goes on and on. I mean Bill Clinton's pardons
were awful, they were disgusting. And now we have Biden's pardons,
which he obviously pardoned a guy who was responsible for
gain a function research in the wu Wan Institute in
China that obviously led to the development of COVID nineteen.
How do we know? Obviously Rand Paul was correct and

(43:33):
that led to the death of millions of people. Why
what to unseat a sitting president they didn't like, I
don't know who knows, but all that blood's on their hands,
and they're concerned about Pete Hegson leading the Department of Defense.
I mean, it's so ludicrous. If you put it's so ludicrous.

(43:54):
It's why I just say, everything's a show. It's such
a show, you know. I mean, I'm so glad that
you brought that up, because you know, until I brought that,
especially the nineteen eighty three bombing. Until I brought that
up on my show, nobody had heard about it.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Nobody.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
And it's always when these and they're not even like protests.
I mean they're like clear acts of political violence, clear
acts of what I mean political violence is terrorism, you know,
clear acts of terrorism, domestic terrorism. And they treated it
like it was nothing, like it was just some fringe
group or something. Meanwhile, twenty years later, as soon to

(44:31):
be former president launches his campaign for US Senate in
one of their living rooms. That's where Barack Obama announced
he was running for the US Senate. Was an important
living room. Brother, Come on, it's just it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
You know, they look pretty close to setting a viewership record.
I think we have almost we have over five three
hundred people watching Rich that's kind of amazing for the
show and really a testament to you and people.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
For the tip Jar.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Yeah, I mean you're you're you're a hundred, right, And
that's why I was. I was grateful to see Speaker
Johnson come out and say, Okay, we're investigating all these
J six Committee pardons, We're investigating the Biden crime family
syndicate pardons. Like I think there's a question as to
whether or not if if Biden is doesn't have the

(45:23):
cognitive wherewithal to stand trial, then how could he you know,
found by Robert hurb By the way, Special Council Robert Hurr.
He's too feeble minded to stand trial that How is
he granting and commuting over eight thousand sentences, pardoning over
eight thousand people if he's not of sound mind. There's
got to be something to that.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
As soon as I heard of the Fauci pardon, which
I know sent everybody to the moon, Yeah, rightfully, so
right Laura, and I, uh, you know, I was like, well,
let me call Will you know, let me ask Will
because that's a very good Laura actually came up with
it first. She's like, I don't under standsoneca is not
that one of us are lawyers. But how if this

(46:03):
man wasn't comfident enough to run for president anymore, his
own vice president was going to use the twenty fifth
Amendment on right, how is it possible that these are
credible or legal pardons if the man is not in
sound mind and body. So Laura made such a fantastic
point that I was like, let me call Will Sharp,

(46:23):
who for the people who don't know, was Trump's lawyer?
And actually, as the found out, I did not know,
but he was standing next to the president getting him
to sign these executive orders like that.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
I think he's actually in he's actually in the White
House with President Trump now, he's like his chief counsel
with the White House.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Yeah. And I actually didn't know when I did that.
And I'm like, well, hey man, you got a second Like,
let men, it's a good question. And he was like, honestly,
we just have no precedent for that. But it would
have to be whether it's like posting, however you do it,
but it would have to be twenty fifth Amendment related.

(46:57):
And that was like more to the point, his vice
president threatened to use the twenty fifth Amendment on him
if he did not step down and give her the nomination.
I mean, that is the turn of events that transpired, folks.
He did not have this long talk with Jill and
decide I'm gonna step down and do the right thing.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
That's not what happened.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
That weekend they brought the polling back. Harris said, if
you don't step down, I'm in a twenty fifth Amendment
you're ass and I have X number of people who
are gonna side with me. Do you really want to
go down this path or you're just gonna step aside.
That's what happened. And I understand how Laura's not correct.
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't know how Laura's
not making the correct point here. If he was not

(47:39):
confident enough to run for president anymore, then how is
he in sound mind and body and able to issue
legal pardons with a scope of which is unheard of?
I mean, the scope of these pardons is evidence in
and of itself, like there's somebody crazy writing these pardons,
Like nobody writes a part him uh with this kind

(48:01):
of a scope, folks. I mean the suns alone was unprecedented,
even left wing legal scholars, where like nobody has ever
issued a pardon uh on, you know, with such wide
ranging you know, coverings dwine ranging time periods and events
and potential scenarios like you just don't get a part

(48:21):
in blanket like that. You just that doesn't happen. We
keep hearing the term blanket. But blanket was just because
he pardoned so many J sixers. It wasn't the scope
of what they did. The scope is very clear actually
in his pardons. It's Biden. We just wrote these like
blank pardon checks. Brother, you know, I mean everything I

(48:41):
ever got my son to do illegally for me is
now forgiven. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
What what do you make What do you make of
this like just shifting gears just a little bit. What
do you make of this insane episcopalian, like clearly whack
job liberal bishop who is at the It's like a
tradition has gone back as far as FDR, I think
the inaugural prayer Mass. And she's up there saying just

(49:08):
the most insane shit in the world about LGBTQ kids
and immigrants and then makes this, like goes off on
this tirade that if we deport immigrants, like you know,
we won't have our serfs to do our farming and
clean our hume. I mean, just like insanely racist stuff.
That's I mean, it's amazing these liberals are just they're

(49:31):
all just insane racists at heart. I mean, that's how
they view the world. And there she is standing in
the Washington Cathedral. I just thought it was so classless rich.
I thought it was like she you basically commandeered a
tradition that went all the way back to FDR and

(49:52):
made it about some bullshit politics while simultaneously advocating for
the mutilation, the surgical mutilation of young kids, while simultaneously
saying uh yeah, and neglecting and blowing off the millions
upon millions of Americans who've been affected by this illegal
invasion on so many levels. I mean, obviously Lake and

(50:12):
Riley's family has suffered a horrific loss, and there are
thousands of other just of families in that position. And
also the the unbelievable economic detriment that that these illegal
aliens bring to the country. And and then it's just
like I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. And
then to make matters worse, she's out there so I
would do it for unity. Oh it was about unity.

(50:34):
But now she's making the media rounds on CNN and
the view like basically land basing President Trump. I mean,
this is insane to me. What do you what do
you think about all that?

Speaker 3 (50:42):
You know, well, first and foremost, she's an narcissist. I
mean that's you have to be to make something like
a moment like that about you and what you wanted
to be. I mean, you have to be anarcissist to
do something like that. Very different because immediately I have
this nut case liberal in my family. And immediately she's like,

(51:03):
what about when Ben Carson did what he did at
the prayer breakfasts? And I'm like, are we seriously comparing
Obamacare to the advocacy of mutilating children? Like what are
you talking about? Like, you know, in any event, you know,
look at someone trying to get a spotlight on them,
and I feel like, on what the hell was she

(51:23):
doing there? I mean that immediately it was like my
first thought, how do we how does anyone like that
slip through the cracks? You know, body like that slip
through the cracks? I mean, all of the preparation stuff
like that goes into these days and these events, how
did that one get through? You know? And and by
the way, look at how she started off, which tells

(51:45):
you it was like very much planned and very much
made to be a charade, you know. I mean she
was going for like maximum shock factor, you know. And
this is you see jd Vance look at his wife.
He's just like he's like, what on earth?

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Yeah on lady, Oh my god, it was crazy.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
He looked at his wife basically the same way I
looked at mine when we were listening to it.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
You know, it was.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
His wife's straight poker face just like but like it
takes you a second. You're like looking at your wife,
like am I hearing this? Like it you hear this too?

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Right?

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Like? You know it's man, we have a sickness in
this country, We really do.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
But honestly, I don't think that the motivation was any
of those issues that she raised more so than it
was just her own self and grandizement. And you know,
I mean we have a real, real problem with narcissism
in this country. And I mean think about the level
of like self centeredness it takes to pull a stunt

(52:52):
like that, you know, so you don't give a damn
about the country. Anybody who's listening. How affect the church?

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Right? Yeah, like the Lord, you know God, I mean.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
God, you know, minimal consideration, it's like insane. That's that's
self centered on a whole new level, my friend.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
It is it is okay, So what is? What is?
Give us a sense of of where people can find
you and what what are you all doing this weekend
at the Barrass residence.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
We had a snow day today, which was amazing. But
it does look like, I don't know for the rest
of this week, we're gonna have to dissect this pole.
You know that I did, and we're actually going to
look at some of the executive orders that we had
talked about. We kind of pulled them as we were
able to add them. I mean, like you said, he
was moving so quickly. Uh So it turned into a

(53:48):
pole that was supposed to just be about what's his
approval rating? Is favorability rating? Where are people out on
the issues? And I got to tell you, Sean, we
didn't get a chance to talk about it. But the
we do the registered voter Economic Confidence Index, So I
have to put that together and go over that with people,
probably going to do it tomorrow for locals because when

(54:09):
Trump handed Biden the reins, you know, he was able
to hold onto a little bit of economic confidence and
it just fell. And we have not seen levels like
this since Trump was president and was on his way out.
The inflation related indicator of this index is now at
the highest level it's ever been, even though the current
conditions element to it, like how do you feel about

(54:31):
your own income now is in the doldrums. But when
we asked them, how do you think it's going to
be six months from now, like it's called a six
month outlook. It's through the roof. So there's that we
have to talk about. There's so much, man so much,
I mean his majority approval rating with yah, yeah, tell
us a little bit about the pole.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
I mean we talked about so much. The hour went
by like this. Tell us a little bit about the pole.
Like what were the top line numbers?

Speaker 3 (54:57):
So the top line numbers are fifty five percent over
a little bit, fifty five percent and change approval and
only thirty eight percent disapproval. I mean, it's insane. I
never never have ever seen numbers like even during the
pandemic when Trump had like an inflated or I called
it fake at the time. People were just reacting and
a lot of media polls also I think inflated as approval.

(55:19):
But you could see that people were finally saying, oh no,
I do have a majority approval of him, and he
would get the fifty or fifty two are high? Was
only fifty two and change. So he has now surpassed
any approval we have ever measured for him. But again,
the flip side of that, which I think is even
more interesting, is that level of disapproval is the lowest

(55:40):
it's ever been yes, and the intensity of it is
very favorable, meaning you only have like nineteen percent who
strongly disappe.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
All these polsters on these national networks are stealing what
you said for the whole year, and that year, your
point has always been like yeah, I mean, well, the
media has lost all sorts of power authority because they
just lie all the time. The American people don't trust them.
But also the American people are supporting what Trump is doing.
So all of this propaganda that the media is go, oh,

(56:11):
look at this, the the Trump administration is targeting, you know,
illegal aliens who've committed no crimes that work on this.
First of all, if you're an illegal alien, you're a criminal.
You're a criminal for coming here. So it's like that. Notwithstanding,
but people people don't care. They want this. They they

(56:32):
want they want even they want even they want to
stop legal immigration. I'm just going to say that, like
it's not even just illegal immigration. They just they just
are over it.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
That's right, I mean, And that's why again I would
say this with the Hegseth nomination, the American public beliefs
that President Trump's agenda is the agenda that is better
for this country. They also believe that he knows exactly
who he needs to help him carry out that agenda.
They trust him to make those judgments. And if you
you're a Republican and you vote not just against Pete

(57:03):
but anyone that he has nominated, you are not only
hurting your party, but you are actually they will see
you as someone who is hurting the country for your
own tiny personal motivations. And that's not gonna work anymore.
Like you're not going to I don't know if you
don't get what time it is, but believe me, you

(57:23):
will not be able to go on with business as
usual the way that you're used to it. People aren't
gonna forget Pete. It's gonna die down, Sean people. It
won't die down until people see results and accountability. That's
what I think a lot of these people don't understand.
And you know, if you're willing to, you know, for
the sake of the military industrial complex, hurt your party

(57:44):
and hurt your country like that, then you don't really
deserve to be there anymore, and you'll have to pay
a consequence for it, and you will.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
You will.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
So the American public does support it, and they gotta
get it. You gotta get on board.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
I think so too. I really do. Know you said,
you know, people don't vote on confirmation. I think republic
Republicans or voting no that oh, they're going to be helping.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
Mary voters do. I mean, that's there I met, like
in a general election, you know. Like, so they're not
going to be able to hurt Susan Collins by saying
she voted for Pete egg Seth, like they tried that
with Justice Kavanaugh. It just didn't work. Man, Nobody cared.
You know, they knew who Susan was, and they know
why they keep senator back to DC and they send
her back easily, comfortably. I just don't know how this

(58:30):
is a vote that helps anyone but the military industrial complex,
who we do know pays their bills. But it doesn't matter.
It's if you can't pick up the phone and tell
them that this vote's going to do me in, then
you're an ineffective senator, you know. So there has to
be a point where you tell them, Look, you know,
I I get it. I hear, I hear you laud

(58:50):
and clear, but I won't survive if I cast this vote.
So you're just gonna have to accept this guy and
we'll move forward, you know, And that's it, And that's
really what it comes down to. They don't get to
decide who.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Yes, it's a Trump, it's a Trump, it's a Trump mandate,
it's not whatever random US senator's mandate. So what else
do you find in your poem in the favorable that
is insane? What else did you fink?

Speaker 3 (59:11):
The evance is back to popular positive and positive. I mean,
we still have a lot of people who say, I
don't know, but you know, he was positive when he
was first nominated, and then they came out with the
weird stuff and they attacked him constantly and that drove
it negative for a little bit, and then we could
see it inching back to positivity, and he is, in

(59:32):
fact positive. We started looking at John Thune two. A
lot of people just don't know enough about him yet.
Trump's favorability is just about as high as his approval rating,
which is very different from the first Trump administration. People
like this policies and they liked how we handled stuff,
but they didn't like him, not like this, not like this,
And the fact that they're almost completely overlapped, you know,

(59:54):
it's like fifty five thirty eight, fifty four thirty seven,
you know, like it's almost identical. Tells me that it's
not just that they're supporting his policy. They like him,
they like. Approval among Hispanics is in the fifties. I mean,
I mean, it's crazy, guys. Oh in young voters, young voters.

(01:00:16):
I just I know we got to go, but I'll no.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
No, no, I listen, you come on this show. We
love you here. We want to hear your polls. Like,
even if we go a little over, it's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Over seventy percent of the country think that he is
absolutely going to handle illegal immigration. That's the first issue
that we started to look at because we're asking people,
you know, how confident argue that Trump is going to
address these things? You know, handle these things. We gave
them all these issues. Immigration and border security was certainly
his strongest one. And it's if you count those who
say I have some confidence, which is not a lot,

(01:00:47):
it's just added but if you count them, you're looking
at like seventy percent. If you count just the people
who say that they're certain or have quite a lot
of confidence, right, you're looking at just about just under
sixty percent. So I mean, he's huge numbers that think
that he's going to make their lives better, he's going
to address these issues. And if you look at eighteen
to twenty nine year old sewn, twenty seven percent strongly approved,

(01:01:09):
twenty seven percent somewhat approve eighteen to twenty nine, that's
fifty four percent ladies and gentlemen. That's insane, that's crazy,
And it's equally strong if you break it down by
eighteen to twenty four to twenty five to twenty nine,
there's no real statistical difference now how much they approve
of him. You know, it's like equally strong among those groups.

(01:01:32):
White and you brought this up before. You know, the
white limousine liberal is the most anti Trump, but also,
like you said, they're actually the most racist. One holds
these like most racist views, these insane views. You know,
when I was growing up in the mid Atlantic, New York,
New Jersey, you have these elitist you know, upper crusts.
It was always known that limousine liberals were actually the

(01:01:54):
most you know, like they they want illegal immigration, not
because they believe in the American dream, because they won't
want needed to fold their clothes. They think of them
as servants, you know, like that's the way it was,
always has always been, and you can actually see it.
What's left of the Trump resistance is this white, limousine
liberal you know, like that's what that's where it really is.
And and they tend to be older, which is a

(01:02:17):
bigger disaster for Democrats, Like they are really in the
wilderness here if you look at by age, the strongest
opposition to Trump is old and white and educated. And
it's like the past, you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Understand, the Democrats have, they have no They are out
of ideas. They are regretting, and they are out of ideas,
and they're and they're largely seen as leaderless. As I've said,
you know, they're in big, big trouble, man, big big trouble.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
Yeah, they'll they'll need a leader. Like you know, sometimes
the best thing that happened to a party that loses
is to lose badly so they could be rebuilt. But
look what it took the lack of Republicans were in
a similar position after Romney lost. But I don't think
the same as possible for Democrats yet, because Trump came
along and he was against everything the party's establishment like Democrats,

(01:03:08):
they're not built this way, so it would have to
be who's someone who comes along and challenges the whole
entire status. Well, if they do, they have no chance.
You know, like Republican establishment was weak, the Democrat establishment
isn't ever going to be weak like that because at
least it will always be centralized. But they're broke because
nobody wants to give them money. Democratic donors are man.

(01:03:31):
They are pissed. They are so mad. There's an article
about a butler that I knew if this was happening anyway,
but she was in the hill the other day. She's
raising money for Donald Trump. I mean, there's no there's
no like the structure is bankrupt, and then there they're
like establishment as a structure as bankrupt. But also, like

(01:03:53):
you said, they're leaderless and they're like intellectually bankrupt. They
don't know where to go and they don't know where
to go, and the longer they stay that way, the
more ineffective they'll be to a post Trump. So you
know that's a good thing if you're a Trump supporter.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
I agree. I couldn't agree more Savage Rich, tell us
all where we can find you, how we can support
