Speaker 1 (00:03):
Morning Europe. About to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
America with your host Sean Carnell.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good evening, America. Welcome to Battleground Live. This is a
show where we lockhorns, kick ass, take names with the
radical left. It's what we do. We never quit, we
never surrender, and we sure as hell don't back down.
From sea to shining seat and everybody in between. Welcome
to the show, patriots. It's great to have you here
(00:37):
on a Friday, and by the way, Friday the thirteenth,
this is something. This is an unlucky day. There's some
bad juju happening, as we say in the military, around
this date. I didn't learn. I am very bad with dates,
and I think I've told you before that, you know,
I forget my own birthday sometimes Commander Melani would have
(01:00):
to remind me. So I didn't even realize until we're
talking in the live chat prior to the show that
it was probably the thirteenth. One of the members of
the battle group filled me in. I'm like, oh, I
don't like that. Okay, let me tell you. I had
a little bit of a change of pace today and
I got called by a friend of mine. Who's he is?
(01:22):
The Deputy Whip for the US House of Representatives. Name
is Guy Russian Thaler. He's a congressman representative here in
western Pennsylvania. He had reached out, his team reached out
to me and asked me to come and pinch hit
at one of his annual fundraisers. And I really, I
(01:42):
really like Guy Russian Thaler. I've known him for quite
a long time, even back when he was when he
was a state representative, just known him for a while.
He's a Western Pennsylvania guy. And I got to tell
you it was to you know, one hundred and fifty
two hundred people in the room, all supporters of are Cause,
the Republican Cause, Conservative Cause here in Pennsylvania. And you
(02:06):
know I've spoken at many Trump rallies for sure, and
that I absolutely love doing that. I've told you before.
It's like a patriotic rock concert for me. I've also
told you all before that having you know, you know,
if you're listening for their first time, then maybe you
don't know. But for every og members of the battle crew,
you know. I've run two campaigns, one for the House
(02:28):
of Representatives, one for the United States Senate in Pennsylvania.
And you know, while they didn't work out the way
that I had planned, I enjoyed so much. You're having
the opportunity to meet the people I despise so much
about politics. I hate the gamesmanship. I especially hate the ego.
(02:53):
People with huge egos and not a whole lot to
have an ego about. If you catch my drift, people
that are old with a sense of self importance. I
don't like that. I don't like greasy ladder climbers. I
don't like people who jockey for positions on whatever the
next step is in a position, whatever higher level position
(03:16):
of power they'll have. I absolutely despise all that. And again,
I'll never forget something that my dad told me before
I got into all this, like you can't you can't
get involved in politics. You're too honest for all this stuff.
Because the reality is I just what you see is
what you get with me, and I just tell it
(03:36):
like it is all the time, regardless of how people think.
And if people disagree, well, I I'm fine with that.
My point is, and what I used to promise people
on the campaign trail is that hey, look, the one
promise I can make you is that you won't always agree.
We won't always agree, but you can be damn well
sure you're always going to get exactly where I stand
on an issue. And then if there's a way that
(03:58):
we can compromise and meet in the middle, well, isn't
that the essence of governing? I mean sometimes not, I
sometimes not. You know, I I reject the notion that
that there should that there should not be gridlock in Washington.
You know, we're fed, spoon fed by the media and
the establishments on both sides of the aisle that government
shutdowns are bad. Maybe sometimes they are. Most of the
(04:22):
time they're probably not. But the Founders designed our system
anticipating that there would be gridlock. The Founders designed our
system to make it difficult to pass legislation when you
get down to Washington. I mean they they this was
(04:43):
part of their system. Chaos was part of the system.
And the reason for that is the constitution contract between
citizen and government to limit the size and scope and
power of our government. That's at its core what the
Constitution is all about. So are found wanted the government
to have to work their asses off if they were
(05:04):
going to pass a bill and foist whatever that bill
was on the American people. They wanted it to be hard.
So sometimes people get elected, whether it's in state houses
or into Congress, or in the House or the Senate,
people get elected to oppose legislation, to oppose, in this case,
(05:26):
a radical left wing agenda and fundamental transformation of this country.
A couple things out of this fundraiser, I want to
talk very quickly about the Continuing Resolution that the House
of Representatives, the Mike Johnson controlled Republican controlled House of Representatives,
is talking about the Continuing Resolution that would have the
Save Act attached to it. The Save Act is, of course,
(05:47):
the bill that would prohibit illegal aliens from voting in
our elections, would require a verification of citizenship status before
a vote is cast or before a voter is registered
to vote. Right now, the debate is whether or not
the US House of Representatives can can pass that the
Continuing Resolution with the Save Act attached to it. Of
(06:09):
course I support the Save Act. Here's how I would
handle it. I would vote for the CR and I'd
want the Save Act attached to it because I want
to get everybody on record voting for it. Does that
make sense, Like I want every Democrat in the House
to have to take a vote on the House floor
saying that they want illegal that they oppose the Save Act,
(06:29):
and that they want illegal aliens to vote in our elections.
I want them on record saying that, you see, because
when they're on record saying that, it gives ammunitions to change,
it gives ammunition to challengers, and it gives ammunition to
incumbents Republicans who are holding seats in the House of
Representatives to bludgeon their opponents with and in swing districts,
that might be the difference that might sway enough voters
(06:51):
for Republicans to hold onto those seats. But Republicans right
now in the House of Representatives are debating whether or
not to even attach it. I'm vehemently opposed to this position.
Let me see if i'd explain the other side's argument.
The other side is saying, well, there's no sense in
attaching this the Save Act, to the Continuing Result to
(07:13):
the CR because it's dead on arrival in the United
States Senate anyway. So why do it, Well, you do
it to force the vote, and the Senate's going to
take up the CR with the Save Act attached to it,
and maybe they strike the Save Act and they send
it back to the House, at which point you're back
to square one. And the worry is is that if
(07:33):
the government is shut down, it will hurt Republicans in
swing districts and very very close swing districts and make
it more difficult for us to hold on to our
majority in the House of Representatives. I'm just giving you
the facts. Whether or not you agree or disagree with,
whether or not you agree or disagree with the strategy is,
I don't know. I'll leave that up to you, but
(07:56):
I think the plan right now in the House of
Representatives is to pass a three month temporary continuing resolution
taking us out to December. And the reason for that
is is they want the dust. Republicans in the House
of Representatives want the dust to settle on the election.
They want to see if they expand their majority in
the House. They want to see if Trump's gonna be
(08:17):
back in the White House, because if they do, they'll
have much more leverage in December, knowing that come January
they're gonna have a majority in the House of Representatives,
a bigger majority in the House of Representatives, much more eat,
much eat, have a much easier time whipping votes and
bringing Republicans to the table, and they'll have a much
easier time keeping Democrats at bay. Obviously, Trump in the
White House helps a lot. Not worried about having a
(08:40):
majority in the Senate, We're very very likely going to
have a Republican majority in the Senate. All you got
to do is win West Virginia to do that. Montana.
The Cook Political Report and Shihi versus John Tester up
there in Montana, that race was just moved to lean Republicans.
So it looks like, at a minimum, we're gonna we're
definitely taking West Virginia. It looks unless some changes drastically
(09:01):
between now an election day, that we're gonna take Montana
as well, and all that mean like and then we've
got a great shot with Sam Brown and Nevada. We've
got a great shot in Arizona with Kerry Lake. We
even have a good shot in Maryland. Now, I'm not
a Larry Hogan guy. He's a little bit milk toast
moderate for me. But I'd rather have a milk toast
(09:21):
moderate that votes with Republicans sixty seven per seventy percent
of the time than some radical mouth breathing commie leftists
in Maryland. Larry Hogan, I mean, savage rich would probably
disagree with me, but Larry Hogan was a very popular
governor of the state of Maryland, with something like a
seventy percent approval rating, and it looks like as of
(09:41):
right now, he's competitive. Dave McCormick is also very competitive
in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the lynchpin to everything.
It's a state that closes late. It's a state that
closes fast. And what I mean by that is you've
got over one point two million independents in this commonwealth
who won't pay attention to the race until perhaps you
(10:02):
know sixty you know, ra actually right now, sixty thirty
sixty days before an election day, and you start seeing
the polls close really fast. And Dave McCormick as of
right now, is tied in this race with an eighteen
year incumbent and Bob Casey. This is a big deal
for a lot of reasons, because if Dave McCormick wins
(10:23):
this seat again, it's gonna be razor razor thin. It
very likely means Trump wins Pennsylvania. And the interesting thing
about the McCormick Trump ticket or the Trump McCormick ticket.
Those two folks on the top of the ticket, they
could not be more different. They're unified, they're campaigning together,
they're supporting one another, but they could not be more different.
(10:43):
And the last time the Republicans won the state of
Pennsylvania was when Trump was on the ballot in sixteen
and Toomey was on the ballot in sixteen. Toomey voted
to convict Trump in the impeachment. So they could not
be more different. But that intellectual in political diversity at
the top of the ticket created some odd strange synergies
(11:05):
and paths for both Trump and Pat Toomey at the
time that led them to success in sixteen. And I
think that this race, this time around, McCormick, Trump, Trump
McCormick have that same type of synergy. And not to mention,
the Republicans got the bank the vote game down, and
we're registering Republicans at a very fast clip. We've cut
(11:28):
the Democrat registration lead in half here in this state.
So Pennsylvania is on the board. So Trump looks good
right now. It's going to be a close race. It
looks like Republicans are going to expand the majority or
at least take back the majority in the Senate and
maybe perhaps pat it a little bit. So it comes
down to the House. So Republicans in the House one
are three a three month continuing resolution to prevent a
(11:52):
government shut down. Then come December they find out if
they have leverage by banning their majority with Trump of
the White House, or if God forbid, you know, Trump
doesn't win, or for whatever reason the Republicans in the
House of Representatives don't expand their majority. They'll know, they'll
know in which case what harm was there in waiting.
(12:12):
So that's the game right now. And so there's that.
And then the other thing was in talking to people
at this event today, I my sense was that people,
and I say, this is someone who's been on the
campaign trail for years. You know, I'm not the smartest
guy in the world, you know, but I gotta I
(12:36):
feel like I can read people. And my sense is
is that people in that room were very, very scared.
Not scared, I don't mean that in a negative way,
but really at an existential level about the direction of
this country. You know, I was lucky to have an
(12:58):
opportunity to speak, but I could sense when you're up
there speaking in front of a crowd, there's this odd
transference that happens. But I could sense people's concern that
we might not get another opportunity to turn this thing around.
And people seem very, very very engaged, And I think
(13:19):
that's a really good thing. We need people to be engaged.
We can't afford to be the silent majority anymore. I'm
feeling something on the ground here in Pennsylvania that haven't
quite felt before, and I think it bodes well for Republicans.
You see the news coming out of Pennsylvania today which
is a major win for election integrity in Pennsylvania, and
(13:42):
that's to listen to this. The five to two Democrat
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a four to three ruling vacated
a liberal court and restored Pennsylvania statute requiring voters to
date their mail in ballots. That's a big deal. Do
you want to know why that's a big deal? Because
that makes it harder for Democrats to cheat. Right. I
(14:05):
will say, I'm just reporting this news to you now
because this news just broke. But when I first read it,
my political spidey sense went off, like, huh, this doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. Democrats on the court
don't often vote for something that would be contrary to
(14:25):
their cause. You know, these Democrats are activist, these Democrat judges,
they're activists in robes. Right. So this was surprising to me,
and I need a little bit more time to think
about why it was surprising to me and why it
concerns me. But on its face, this looks like a win.
And then here look at this in Connecticut, judge overturns
(14:49):
Bridgeport Democrat mayoral primary election, calling evidence of fraud quote
shocking and I quote The volume of ballots so mishandled
is such that it calls the result of the primary
election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to
determine the legitimate result of the primary. Clark wrote in
(15:10):
his ruling, adding that the videos are shocking to the
court and should be shocking to all the parties. So,
in essence, what happened here is this Connecticut judge ordered
an entirely new election after surveillance video showed ballot stuffing
at a historic level in you guessed it, drop boxes.
(15:32):
Now where have you heard before? Now? That Democrats stuff
drop boxes with forged, fraudulent mail in ballots. I think
you've heard it here from me. You know, I've said many,
many times, and of course you all know this too,
but I've said many times I witnessed them doing it,
(15:53):
and then to be gas lit by the media that
somehow cheating and elections doesn't happen is absolutely positively sickening. So, folks,
this race is all you know. To me, it's all
about the economy. It's the economy, stupid. And I'm gonna
talk a little bit about the economy here in a second, Folks,
this election is going to come down to the economy.
(16:14):
It's just that simple. You know, I've told you my theory,
told you my theory about this, James Carboll, it's the
economy stupid. Democrats have a perverse spin on that, where
they're telling the American people that the economy is great stupid,
and they keep trying that, and they're surrogates. Democrat surrogates
(16:36):
continue to tell the media, well, the messaging just hasn't
sunk in yet, that people just haven't realized how awesome
our economy is. But listen to CNN talking about the
economy and I want you to tell me if you
think that this is positive for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Let's talk about let's refocus on one big issue because
it's kind of come back into the spotlight next week,
which is the economy. We've got the FED very likely
looking to cut rates for the first time since early
pandemic days. What what does that mean for this point
in the campaign, Because it's a funky place. You've got
(17:13):
potentially a good sign that Kamala Harris can talk about
kind of quote unquote late stage change, but you still
have Donald Trump killing her when it comes to the economy,
and that flash in that snaphall after the bank he
was up twenty points on the economy, even though the
vast majority said she wanted to be Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That is what this race is going to come down to,
And Van Jones went on to say that, you know,
but it should break down further than that, because you know,
it comes down to people whether they believe you're actually
going you actually care about them, or you care about billionaires,
(17:53):
you care about corporations, you care about the middle class
really believes that, like, it doesn't really matter if people
believe you're stronger in the economy. It comes down to
whether or not people believe you're going to fight for
them and folks. That is exactly and precisely what Trump
does just so well. He fights for middle class and
(18:15):
working families. He fights for lower income families like no
Republican president I've ever seen. That's not hyperbole. I mean
that Trump has reshaped the Republican Party into the party
of the American working class, into the party of the
American middle class. This is a great place to be
(18:39):
because Democrats are now the party of Hollywood elites. They're
the party of billionaires, They're the party of big tech oligarchs.
They're the party of media elites. The Democrats their constituency
is shrinking, and they know it. More Latinos this cycle
have left the Democrat Party than almost any time before
(19:01):
in the last certainly in the last thirty years. More
Black Americans have left the Democrat Party this year than
almost any other time before. Trump is doing better with
the black community than almost any other president going all
the way back to Gerald Ford. So I'm not trying
to give you a sense of false hope. We've got
to work our asses off here in this election. We've
got to sprint to the finish. But let me tell you,
(19:22):
nobody has been putting forward more bold economic policy proposals
than than Donald Trump. The stuff that he's proposing is
going to revitalize this economy in a huge way. Listen
to this.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I'm also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts,
we will end all taxes on overtime.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You know what that means.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Think of that that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
That gives people more of an incentive to work. It
gives the companies a lot. The people who work over
time are among the hardest working citizens in our country,
and for too long, no one in Washington has been
looking out for them.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Those are the people they really work. They're police officers, nurses.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And machine operators.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It's time for the working man and woman to finally
catch a break. And that's what we're doing because this
is a good one and I think it's going to
be great for the country.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
In the same speech, Trump mentioned that he talked to
some top economists about this plan and said that they
were really excited about it because it would grow our
economy at an historic pace. Now Trump has proposed ending
taxation on tips. Trump has proposed ending taxation on social security,
(20:53):
and now he's proposing ending taxation on overtime. This will
be like injecting rocket fuel into our economy. It's this
isn't rocket science. You allow people to keep more of
their hard earned money, they're gonna spend that money in
the local community. They're gonna spend that money paying their
(21:14):
own taxes. Right, They're gonna spend that money on their
local economy. They're gonna spend that I mean, it's just
a no brainer. And that's our pathway out of this.
Our pathway out of this debt trap that we're in
is rapid economic growth. We're thirty five trillion dollars in debt,
(21:37):
thirty five trillion. This has become a grave, and I
do mean grave, national security threat. We are not a
rich nation, but we live like we are a rich nation.
And what concerns me is that you'd think every news
(22:01):
outlet would report on what I'm talking about. You think
they talk about the thirty five trillion dollars that you know,
our thirty thirty five trillion dollar debt as if it
is a national security threat. But the media, and certainly
both Democrat and Republican politicians don't seem to care. In fact,
(22:26):
it's just business as usual. Well, I'm here to tell
you that the ship is sinking and we don't have
a whole lot of time left to plug the holes.
And it ain't just me saying that.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Listen, tax cuts, it's you go up before you come down.
Trump tax cuts would have paid for themselves by twenty
twenty two. Because it's a growth strategy. Reason I've come
out behind from behind my desk for this election, because
you know, I think this is the last chance for
America to throw its way out of this step problem.
(23:02):
If you can increase growth, you can change their trajectory.
And everything that I'm seeing from Harris Biden is more taxes,
more regulation. We go into kind of a European style malaise.
The government spending gets to be a bigger and bigger
percent of the economy.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Government spending gets to be a bigger and bigger percent
of the economy. No, I want to see if I
can just break this down and as simple as possible,
we bring in four point four trillion dollars in taxes
every single year. Okay, our country spends six point one
(23:42):
trillion dollars every year we are spending more money than
we bring in in taxes. You can't spend more money
than you bring in in your home year after year
after year after year without going bankrupt. Our government doesn't
have to worry about that because they just print more money.
(24:02):
And the more they print money, the more they make
the inflation problem worse, which is why we're in the
situation that we're in right now. Years and years and
years of irresponsible spending habits, both by Democrats and Republicans
have led us to this point, and now Americans are
feeling the heat. Primarily I mean everybody, but definitely our seniors,
(24:26):
who work their asses off. They give us this country
that we have today, should be able to retire in peace.
I can't tell you how many seniors I hear from
who are retired but have to go back to work
because of the policy the Biden Harris administration. Most of
these seniors are living on fixed income. Inflation hurts them
the most because it devalues the dollar. So we bring
(24:51):
in four point four trillion, we spend six point one trillion.
But let's assume for a second and follow me here.
Let's assume that Trump wins and because of the Trump victory,
we get five percent growth per year. And the assumption
therefore is is that at five percent GDP growth, you
(25:15):
get five percent tax revenue growth as well. So if
you go seven years of five percent growth, that gets
tax revenue from four point four up to six point
one trillion. Okay, the same amount that our government spends.
So you can't so it can't just be about economic growth.
There's a twofold strategy. You've got to grow the economy
(25:39):
so that you start bringing in six point one trillion
dollars in a tax base. You grow the economy, you
grow the tax base. You got more people working, you
got more people paying taxes. Right, so you go from
four point four trillion to six point one trillion in taxes. So,
but you've also got a freeze spending and get five
percent growth for seven straight years. If you do that,
(25:59):
you're revenue new neutral. Right. But the problem is we
can't freeze spending. We can't stop our addiction to it.
And you've got mandatory spending programs like social Security and medicaid.
They go up every single year. Social Security checks go
up two point five percent next year. So in order
(26:19):
to freeze spending, you would have to cut discretionary spending
to make it up for it, and most discretionary spending
is the Department of Defense. But it's really freaking hard
to cut the Department of Defense budget when you're sending
hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. And then, oh,
by the way, if you stop doing that, we should
stop doing that. But then you start talking about balancing
the budget on the backs of the war fighters. That
(26:42):
is not a good place to be. So so you understand,
just in a very rudimentary sense, why we are in
the situation that we're in. And that brings me to
a point about Elon Musk and Trump and JD. Vans
now talking about putting him in a position of power
to audit the federal government, to do efficiency checks in
(27:05):
the federal government. The reason why this is important is
that the largest employer in our country are federal employees.
Is the government. That's not a good thing. So you
get Elon Musk coming in and he starts maybe trimming
the fat in these government and among these government jobs,
(27:26):
just like he did at Twitter. I think Elon Musk
cut eighty percent of the workforce of Twitter and Twitter
and Slash or x now is better than it ever was.
I'm not saying that Musk is going to come in
and get rid of eighty percent of the government jobs. No,
that's not what I'm saying. But there is certainly a
lot of fraud, waste, and abuse and duplicated effort in
our federal government. So just just think about the things
(27:50):
that Elon Musk has done. And the reason why this
is important and the reason why it's necessary is that
his Starling provides rural internet at a fraction of the
cost compared to government contracts to you know, corporate buddies
and crony capitalism. His Space program. It's just like, there's
(28:12):
not even it's not even an apt comparison. It's succeeding
at a much lower cost than Boeing, for example. So
if government gets out of the way and lets the
free market work, that would help a ton. But the
more there's a direct correlation between a big, bloated government
(28:33):
and high taxes and astounding debt, a debt that's Trea's
thirty five trillion. It is now a grave national security threat.
And I know this is probably boring to you, but
this stuff is the stuff that kills nations that along
with unchecked immigration and all the things that the Democrats
are doing. My point is this, there is a way out,
(28:58):
but we have to start acting now. Like yesterday. The
problem is urgent and cat I also got to talk
about terriffs here for a second. When I was running
for office, I made a point to go to every
manufacturing facility that I could, you know, steel, you know
places that are making you know, weapons or armor plating
(29:21):
for our vehicles. A lot of stuff is done here
in Pennsylvania. Bombs, jade, ams, munitions factories. Again, a lot
of that stuff done in Pennsylvania. I straight up would
ask the CEOs of these companies, how do you feel
about the Trump tariffs, each and every one of them.
And this is not an exaggeration. They all said, yeah,
(29:43):
in the short term, it it's it's it can be tough.
But in the long term it had to happen. It
simply had to happen because China manipulates the markets with
artificially cheap steel that is garbage, and they flood our
markets with that at a super low price and undercut
(30:04):
of American manufacturing. And what ends up happening is is
American manufacturing all these jobs get shipped overseas, and that
hollows out our manufacturing core. Well, listen, we saw how
dangerous that was during COVID, right where China was a
primary manufacturer of a great many antibiotics, even things like aspirin. Said,
(30:30):
screw you, America, We're not sending you any of this stuff. Oh,
by the way, the apple plant that we have here, yeah,
we know it's an American owned company, but we're just
taking control of that too, screw you. But you see
how this works, right, So I would argue that our
manufacturing core, you know, the steel industry, for example, is
also has national security implications. If shit hits the fan,
(30:52):
and it just might, we want to be able to
produce stuff here in America. And so tariffs, you know,
while most of these executives will acknowledge not great initially,
but as the market evens out, it's something that absolutely
had to happen because China is cheating, and as they cheat,
(31:15):
they get more powerful. You see, Without tariffs, there's no
penalty for what China does in manipulating their currency and
manipulating the markets and the dumping of cheap steel in
the American economy. Tariffs punish China for that bad economic behavior.
And oh, by the way, it also punishes them for
(31:35):
using child slave labor. Slave labor is pretty profitable. But
to not put tariffs on China is for America to say, yeah,
we're fine with child slave labor, you know, as long
as I can pay for things and maybe get things
a dollar cheaper. So to me, there is a moral
(31:56):
argument for tariffs on China as well as an economic argument,
as well as a national security argument. It's time we
start taking care of this country. It's time we start
taking care of Americans first. All right. I saw this
(32:17):
video of Kamala Harris talked to you about Pennsylvania as
she was asked about her prospects in Pennsylvania. And again,
you know my thoughts on Pennsylvania. It's everything. That's why
she's spending so much time here. She did in a
it wasn't a scripted it wasn't a press conference. She
(32:38):
just answered a couple questions from media's yelling, yelling questions
at her. She's at a gas station or something. Look
at what she says.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
I am feeling very good about Pennsylvania because there are
a lot of people in Pennsylvania who deserve to be
seen and heard. That's why I'm here in Johnstown, and
I will be continuing to travel around the state to
make sure.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That I'm listening as much as we are talking.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
And ultimately, I feel very strongly that we've got to
earn every book, and that means spending time with folks
in the communities where they live. And so that's why
I'm here. We're going to be spending a lot more
time in.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Pennsylvania, folks. It's Trump assassination stuff that's bad, bad, bad,
bad just keeps happening. You know, I'm very, very concerned
that there's something sinister that's going on behind the scenes.
You know, it feels to me like there is a massive,
(33:38):
massive cover up happening right now. It just does. You know.
I'm not trying to be a crazy person here, but
within two days after the Reagan assassination, we knew almost
everything there was to know about Hinckley. We know nothing
about what happened. By the way, it's September thirteenth, two
months after that fateful day. We still know nothing. And
(34:01):
you had Dick Blumenthal stolen valor. Dick Blumenthal, Democrat senator,
Trump hating Democrat senator sitting on the couch with Commander
Melanie last night, and she goes, oh my god, I
said what she said? Did you hear what Bluementhal said?
I said, no, what did he say? Said? She played
(34:22):
me this sound listen.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished,
and appalled by what we will report to them about
the failures and Secret Service in this assassination tempt the
former president. But I think they also ought to be
appalled astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland
(34:46):
Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid can
Frank as it should be to them in terms of
providing information. And we are going to absolutely in on
the truth and the whole truth in documents and testinol
(35:07):
as members of the United States Senate, but also as citizens.
What did you learn new today when you said they're
going to be all.
Speaker 9 (35:13):
I'm not going to go into what we have learned
in specifics. I'm giving you my reaction, and we will
have a report very very soon that I think will
absolutely shock the American people or should about the lapses
and mys in the protection that was afforded that day
(35:37):
and the breakdown and communication failure and responsibility.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Is there a report coming today or tomorrow?
Speaker 9 (35:44):
Is that a report coming out tonight or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
No, it just seems like he's real eager to point
the finger at the Secret Service, and to be clear,
they were all sorts of messed up. I don't know
there's any question about that. I mean, this whistleblower thing,
I mean, listened to Holly last night on Jesse Waters
(36:07):
talking about the woman or the person who was in
charge of the site prep that day where that rally,
the Butler County Rally was held. Listen to Josh Holly
talking about this on Jesse Waters last night. Senator Josh
Holly joins me now with some.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
New whistleblower reporting. What are they telling you now, Senator.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Tesse.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
What I'm learning now is that the lead advance agent
that day in Pennsylvania, this is the agent that was
in charge of Trump's entire trip in Pennsylvania. That this
agent actually failed one or more of her training exams
when she first joined the Secret Service. I mean, the
pattern that is emerging here, Jesse, from whistleblowers who've come
(36:51):
forward to me now over and over again, is that
the Trumpet rally was undermanned, it was understaffed, They did
not have people who had experience on it. And now
this advance I'm told may have failed one or more
for training exams and was known not to be a
top quality agent.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I mean, this is absurd. And the fact that.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
The director will not level with the American people about
what's going on here is just totally unacceptable and unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, but there's something else going on. The fact that
he won't level with the American people is a red flag.
So you have Blumenthal coming out and saying this, trying
to sort of point the finger at the Secret Service,
and of course they own a lot of this. And
(37:37):
then you have this this Josh Holly coming out with
this whistleblower saying like, oh, well, you know, like look
at this person, like didn't have any training, failed critical tests.
I mean, this is like emblematic of why with standards,
the slow erosion of standards across the military, across you know,
Department of Homeland Security, clear to the Secret Service, like
(37:58):
it's just hurting readiness and make us less safe because
of course eroded standards would do that. But something doesn't
make sense here. You add to both of these clips.
The video of Milania Trump asking a very direct question
of why didn't they arrest this guy before the shot
was taken they knew about him walking around with a
(38:20):
range finder. This is a former First Lady of the
United States saying this. If this was Michelle Obama saying it,
think about that, it would be headline news. Mean, there'd
be a damn Netflix documentary if something like this happened
to Barack Obama. We are in the midst of one
(38:41):
of the greatest cover ups of our time, among a
great many like it's just just unbelievable things that we
have lived through in our time. Just add this to
that list. Something does not make sense, something does not
add up. And I'm worried that it's gonna happen again, folks,
(39:04):
I really am, because so much of the reason why
we are here. I truly believe that that attempt on
Trump's life There's more there than meets the eye, for sure,
But the media and their irresponsible rhetoric, their part in
(39:25):
all of this cannot, and I mean this cannot be dismissed.
I mean, listen to Trump almost lost his life two
months ago. Somebody in Butler County, Corey compretour did lose
his life. Two other people were wounded, They almost lost
their lives. This just happened. Look at how MSNBC is
(39:51):
talking about Trump and Trump's supporters also to.
Speaker 11 (39:54):
Do things, Ellie that one would think our career ending
the way he desecrated Arlington Nowtional cemetery would be career
ending for normal politician. His constant lives. But even this
piece about saying, well, my building was the tallest until
you know they brought down the World Trade Center.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Now it's the second talk.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
I mean, everything he does is despicable.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
The reason why it doesn't and his career is because
his supporters are just as despicable, all right, Like Trump's
whole thing. He's a narcissist, right, and so his whole
thing is to have a complete lack of compassion and
empathy for everybody else. It's all about him. That's why
he lies about nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
It's all about him, him, him, me, me, me.
Speaker 10 (40:31):
It's he's probably the least compassionate president we've had in
two hundred years since Andrew Jackson. And it works for
him because his supporters are just as ungenerous and have
just as little compassion and empathy for others. So when
he is seen out there essentially, as you guys have
put it, desecrating our national symbols, when he is seen
(40:52):
out there putting himself above all else, his supporters also
want that to be the case. They want to do
that in their own lives. They want that's how they
think of themselves. And that's why it never hurts Trump
when he takes these crass and classless actions. It's because
his supporters think that being crass and classless is actually
kind of cool.
Speaker 11 (41:12):
Yeah, and they also he hates the people they hate.
So when he makes up this idea that these Muslims
in New Jersey were cheering and they're Americans in New
Jersey cheering supposedly for the towers to come down, He's like, well, yo,
because my supporters don't like them right the same way.
And this is the precuri.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
That revolting Slob just called seventy five to eighty million
people in this country despicable, said that seventy five eighty
million people in this country are narcissists, that essentially we're racist,
(41:53):
horrible hate mongers. It's some of the most hateful rhetoric
that you'll see on TV. I mean, this is why
you know Morning Joe wasn't aired the day after the
Trump assassination attempt, because the people that are running the
show at these corporate media outlets know they are hateful
(42:16):
and divisive. They know it. But do you think can
I harken back to what I said before about never
accepting a fake piece from these Democrat hacks in the
media and Democrats on the hill. It's never genuous, it's
never it's never genuine. It's always fake. It's always to
(42:41):
get you to break contact, to not press forward the attack.
Look at some of the stuff and the hate field
rhetoric that they're spewing. Now when Trump says, you know
they're coming after you, I'm just standing in the way.
He's exactly right, He's exactly right. You know, in the
(43:04):
media in the wake of the debate created this, you know, hoax,
this yet another hoax of Trump not knowing that the
name of the Taliban commander. And look at this moron
joy Reid, like, look look at this, this woman. She
is dangerous. She is just filled with just hate filled propaganda.
(43:26):
I mean, listening to her, listen, look look at look
at her here, listen to her here basically pushing what
is yet another hoax about the leader of the Taliban's name.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
The man who now leads a Taliban in Afghanistan, Mala
Abdul Ghani Baradar.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Mala Abdul Ghani Baradar, co founder of the Taliban.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I could hear in Mala Baradar's voice, very new President
Trump meant business.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
CBS News has confirmed that CIA director William Burns met
secretly in Kabble with the Taliban's de facto leader, Abdulanni Bardar.
Speaker 6 (44:01):
We have learned that CIA director William Burns traveled to
Kabble for a secret meeting with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Bardar,
a Taliban co founder, Mullah abdul Ghani Baradar, who oversaw
the signing of the US Withdrawal Agreement last year.
Speaker 11 (44:16):
The night This is the part where Donald Trump invented someone.
He invented a person who doesn't exist. In addition to
the people he says are eating dog, here's another person
who doesn't exist. His name is Abdul.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
And Abdul is the head of the Taliban. He is
still the head of the Taliban. And I told Abdul
don't do it anymore.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
You do it anymore, you're gonna have problems.
Speaker 11 (44:36):
Maybe the reason that VP Harris is looking at him
that way is or that she's probably thinking maybe he
should go back to folks home and have a bowl
of jello, or she might also thinking herself, no, no, no,
the head of the Taliban's name is not Abdul. It
is Hippatullah a kunzaza Akunzada. So maybe he couldn't remember that.
You know, I had to write it down to know it.
(44:57):
Your thoughts on his response in making up Abdul as
a person that isn't real.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
No one can really confirm who this Taliban person named
Abdullah is who he said he'd talked to us.
Speaker 12 (45:07):
The bizarrest fit in the Whole debate where he describes
the leader of the Taliban as the guy called Abdul.
I mean, it's you know, it's a completely non existent person.
He's just chosen the one Muslim name he can remember.
It's like, I don't know the leader of the Taliban,
saying that guy John who leads the West, or is
it Billy. That's that's the kindest of wacky directions. Seek
(45:34):
she sent his head in because she had prepared so well.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
These people are just completely lost, just hate filled losers. So,
speaking of the ABC debate, there is a big controversy
that is brewing right now that just might explode. Let
me tell you about this ABC debate scandal that's brewing
this town hall headline. If this is true, ABC News
(45:59):
is about to be engulfed in a major scandal. This
from the article I asked yesterday morning whether Kamala Harris's
campaign got the ABC News debate questions in advance. The
Vice President was visibly nervous for the first portion of
the debate, but got into a groove, especially when she
figured out that Donald Trump would take debate. She was chumming.
When Trump took it hook line and sinker on the
(46:21):
rally size dig. You knew he was going to be
kicked off message when he had a wide berth to
rip into Harris on inflation, immigration and overall making us
poorer than we were four years ago. Harris seemed ready
for the questions, which explained her word salad responses, but
she never answered any of the questions from moderators David
(46:42):
Muir and Lindsay Davis. They did fact, Trump live through
those interruptions, though those interruptions were peppered with fake news,
no shock there. Harris was never pressed for her mountain
of lies. And we know why. Listen to this. An
ABC whistleblower is alleging that not only did the Harris
campaign get the questions and advance, but that she was
(47:04):
given assurances that she wouldn't be fact checked by the
moderators either. And the author goes on to say, I'm
not saying that this is a fact, but if this
is true, it's a major, major scandal. And listen when
Melanie and I were watching this debate, and look, we've
been there. We have been We've been on the debate
(47:25):
stage before. Melanie's like, god, it really feels like she
has the questions in advance, just by the way she
was engaging with the moderators right now. The moderators would
go to her almost forcefully, right when Trump is trying
to answer something. Oh oh, Trump's a big piece of shit.
O Kamala, how do you feel about that? You know,
like it just shift the question to Kamala. It all
(47:47):
seemed it just seemed choreographed. It just didn't seem authentic.
But rather than ABC giving the questions to Kamala. I
think it might be the other way around. I think
that Kamala and her team very likely gave preapproved questions
(48:08):
to ABC and they just said, yeah, we'll adopt these
questions for batim. This is not a conspiracy theory. This
has happened before. You remember that Biden was doing this
in his radio interviews. He was convincing radio stations to
cut out and clip his interviews and not air them live,
(48:28):
to cut out the bad parts giving radio station. Remember,
somebody was fired, a radio host was fired I think
in Philadelphia for this. So taking preapproved questions from the
Biden campaign, this is how these radical COMMI mouth breathing
democrats operate. So what it really surprised you if Kamala
or her campaign was giving preapproved questions to ABC. Of
course it wasn't. And speaking of one of the many
(48:51):
lies that Kamala told during her debate, I saw this
and I got a kick out of it, and I
want you to see it because I want to go
out on Friday on a positive note. When Kamala said
that there's not any single American serviceman or women deployed
in uniform and on active duty in a war zone
right now, Well, remember how I told you yesterday that
the debate moderators were so egregious and so biased that
(49:16):
people weren't going to be able to keep their mouth shut.
They're going to start coming forward in fact checking the
debate on their own and posting these viral videos. Well, yeah,
it happened yesterday, happening more today. Watch this.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Well, I will tell you I agreed with President Biden's
decision to pull out of Afghanistan. Four presidents said they would,
and Joe Biden day and as a result, America's taxpayers
are not paying the three hundred million dollars a day
we were paying for that endless war. And as of today,
there is not one member of the United States military
(49:51):
who is in active duty in a combat zone in
any war zone around the world. The first time this
is but let's understand, So what.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
The fuck are we right? I told you that, like
the debate moderators were so biased that people weren't going
to be able they were gonna start calling her out
on their own and with with Elon Musk, with social media.
Oh my god, I just think this stuff is so powerful.
(50:22):
Last thing, last thing before we pop smoke for the weekend.
Did you see the video of Tim Wallas where he
called Kamala a prostitutor. You got to see it if
you haven't.
Speaker 8 (50:34):
Because this started and I love this story as a
young prostitutor.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Kamala Harris talked about going in that as a young
prostitutor because this started, and I love this story as
a young prostitutor. Clearly evant to say prosecutor, but he
said prostitutor. I wonder what he was thinking when he
was I wonder if she if he actually believes that,
if it's a Freudian slip of sorts. Well, listen, I
(51:00):
can't believe the show's I can't believe it's already an hour.
Can you can't believe you're going into the weekend? Well, listen,
we're celebrating my one of my dog got one of
my daughter's fourteenth birthday this weekend. And it's kind of
amazing because time is just flying by. Kids are growing
up so fast. So proud of these kids. It's seriously
(51:23):
so proud of them. They're amazing kids. You know, I
let in with the show talking about, you know, engaging
with folks at the guy Russenthaler's event and fundraiser, And
it's my favorite part of campaigning is meeting the people.
I absolutely love that part of it. And I'd be
lying to you if I told you that I didn't
(51:44):
miss it. And I you know that Senate race, the
way it ended for me, you don't want to go
out like that. You know, it was just such fake bullshit.
It's just it's this total fake crap. And I had
never quit anything in my life. But on the other hand,
God really works in mysterious ways. And I've told you
before I hate when people say that, but it's also true.
(52:06):
Had I won that Senate race and be down in Washington,
d C. I wouldn't be there for so many moments
for my kids, you know, moments that over the last
couple of years kids were just little. I just you
don't get that time back your kids are young. Once
you know you got a kid, you got like what
(52:30):
ten or twelve Christmases? You know you got eighteen, you
got ten or twelve Christmases where they're true believers. If
you know what I'm saying, You know you got eighteen
Summers at home goes by so fast, and I look
back and as horrible and as trying as that time was,
really was the most difficult time in my life. I'm
(52:51):
almost glad that it happened because it made my family closer.
But I got to be there for my kids. Still
missed a lot of time that I shouldn't have had
to miss because that bullshit law fare stuff, but I uh,
I just don't regret it. I like being there for
him and to be able to be there this weekend
and celebrate with my daughter, and of course the family's
(53:13):
coming over to Fort Parnell to help bring in the
celebrations and you know, watching my oldest daughter get her license,
and you know, my my youngest son excel at at
ice hockey, and my other daughter Natalie just you know,
she does so well at volleyball, and Emma crushing the
musical like and being able to go to those things
and be a part of their life. It's just been
(53:33):
so important to me. And as much as I miss campaigning,
I think that maybe it just wasn't my time. It's
not to say it won't ever be my time, but
back then, maybe it just wasn't supposed to be my time.
So with that, folks, I want you to have a
great weekend. I really do. We're in the home stretch
of this race. We've got a campaign like we're ten
(53:54):
points down. Don't ever be the silent majority, which I
know the Battle creup doesn't have a problem with. Thank
you to mcgro nation for always supporting this show. We
love you here in the Battle Crew. You are always welcome.
We're a better show for having you a part of it.
And yeah, folks, make sure you smash that like button
before we get out of here, that little green thumb
beneath the video. Smash that like button. And as always, folks,
(54:16):
God bless you all. Seriously, something I said to the crowd,
I asked the crowd today, I'm like, do you believe
you know that there's a spiritual war happening in America,
that there's a fight between good and evil happening. Every
single person in that crowd raised their hand or said yes, Yes,
there's something going on in this country where more people,
(54:39):
just than ever before, are awake. And I like it.
So keep the faith, take action in your community to
save this country. As always, folks, God bless you all,
and God bless this amazing country that we call home.
I will see you on Monday. Have a great weekend,
I really do. We live in the best country on
the face of the planet. Enjoy every second. God bless
you folks. I'll see on Monday. Take care, good night.
Morning Europe. About to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
America with your host Sean Carnell.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good evening, America. Welcome to Battleground Live. This is a
show where we lockhorns, kick ass, take names with the
radical left. It's what we do. We never quit, we
never surrender, and we sure as hell don't back down.
From sea to shining seat and everybody in between. Welcome
to the show, patriots. It's great to have you here
(00:37):
on a Friday, and by the way, Friday the thirteenth,
this is something. This is an unlucky day. There's some
bad juju happening, as we say in the military, around
this date. I didn't learn. I am very bad with dates,
and I think I've told you before that, you know,
I forget my own birthday sometimes Commander Melani would have
(01:00):
to remind me. So I didn't even realize until we're
talking in the live chat prior to the show that
it was probably the thirteenth. One of the members of
the battle group filled me in. I'm like, oh, I
don't like that. Okay, let me tell you. I had
a little bit of a change of pace today and
I got called by a friend of mine. Who's he is?
(01:22):
The Deputy Whip for the US House of Representatives. Name
is Guy Russian Thaler. He's a congressman representative here in
western Pennsylvania. He had reached out, his team reached out
to me and asked me to come and pinch hit
at one of his annual fundraisers. And I really, I
(01:42):
really like Guy Russian Thaler. I've known him for quite
a long time, even back when he was when he
was a state representative, just known him for a while.
He's a Western Pennsylvania guy. And I got to tell
you it was to you know, one hundred and fifty
two hundred people in the room, all supporters of are Cause,
the Republican Cause, Conservative Cause here in Pennsylvania. And you
(02:06):
know I've spoken at many Trump rallies for sure, and
that I absolutely love doing that. I've told you before.
It's like a patriotic rock concert for me. I've also
told you all before that having you know, you know,
if you're listening for their first time, then maybe you
don't know. But for every og members of the battle crew,
you know. I've run two campaigns, one for the House
(02:28):
of Representatives, one for the United States Senate in Pennsylvania.
And you know, while they didn't work out the way
that I had planned, I enjoyed so much. You're having
the opportunity to meet the people I despise so much
about politics. I hate the gamesmanship. I especially hate the ego.
(02:53):
People with huge egos and not a whole lot to
have an ego about. If you catch my drift, people
that are old with a sense of self importance. I
don't like that. I don't like greasy ladder climbers. I
don't like people who jockey for positions on whatever the
next step is in a position, whatever higher level position
(03:16):
of power they'll have. I absolutely despise all that. And again,
I'll never forget something that my dad told me before
I got into all this, like you can't you can't
get involved in politics. You're too honest for all this stuff.
Because the reality is I just what you see is
what you get with me, and I just tell it
(03:36):
like it is all the time, regardless of how people think.
And if people disagree, well, I I'm fine with that.
My point is, and what I used to promise people
on the campaign trail is that hey, look, the one
promise I can make you is that you won't always agree.
We won't always agree, but you can be damn well
sure you're always going to get exactly where I stand
on an issue. And then if there's a way that
(03:58):
we can compromise and meet in the middle, well, isn't
that the essence of governing? I mean sometimes not, I
sometimes not. You know, I I reject the notion that
that there should that there should not be gridlock in Washington.
You know, we're fed, spoon fed by the media and
the establishments on both sides of the aisle that government
shutdowns are bad. Maybe sometimes they are. Most of the
(04:22):
time they're probably not. But the Founders designed our system
anticipating that there would be gridlock. The Founders designed our
system to make it difficult to pass legislation when you
get down to Washington. I mean they they this was
(04:43):
part of their system. Chaos was part of the system.
And the reason for that is the constitution contract between
citizen and government to limit the size and scope and
power of our government. That's at its core what the
Constitution is all about. So are found wanted the government
to have to work their asses off if they were
(05:04):
going to pass a bill and foist whatever that bill
was on the American people. They wanted it to be hard.
So sometimes people get elected, whether it's in state houses
or into Congress, or in the House or the Senate,
people get elected to oppose legislation, to oppose, in this case,
(05:26):
a radical left wing agenda and fundamental transformation of this country.
A couple things out of this fundraiser, I want to
talk very quickly about the Continuing Resolution that the House
of Representatives, the Mike Johnson controlled Republican controlled House of Representatives,
is talking about the Continuing Resolution that would have the
Save Act attached to it. The Save Act is, of course,
(05:47):
the bill that would prohibit illegal aliens from voting in
our elections, would require a verification of citizenship status before
a vote is cast or before a voter is registered
to vote. Right now, the debate is whether or not
the US House of Representatives can can pass that the
Continuing Resolution with the Save Act attached to it. Of
(06:09):
course I support the Save Act. Here's how I would
handle it. I would vote for the CR and I'd
want the Save Act attached to it because I want
to get everybody on record voting for it. Does that
make sense, Like I want every Democrat in the House
to have to take a vote on the House floor
saying that they want illegal that they oppose the Save Act,
(06:29):
and that they want illegal aliens to vote in our elections.
I want them on record saying that, you see, because
when they're on record saying that, it gives ammunitions to change,
it gives ammunition to challengers, and it gives ammunition to
incumbents Republicans who are holding seats in the House of
Representatives to bludgeon their opponents with and in swing districts,
that might be the difference that might sway enough voters
(06:51):
for Republicans to hold onto those seats. But Republicans right
now in the House of Representatives are debating whether or
not to even attach it. I'm vehemently opposed to this position.
Let me see if i'd explain the other side's argument.
The other side is saying, well, there's no sense in
attaching this the Save Act, to the Continuing Result to
(07:13):
the CR because it's dead on arrival in the United
States Senate anyway. So why do it, Well, you do
it to force the vote, and the Senate's going to
take up the CR with the Save Act attached to it,
and maybe they strike the Save Act and they send
it back to the House, at which point you're back
to square one. And the worry is is that if
(07:33):
the government is shut down, it will hurt Republicans in
swing districts and very very close swing districts and make
it more difficult for us to hold on to our
majority in the House of Representatives. I'm just giving you
the facts. Whether or not you agree or disagree with,
whether or not you agree or disagree with the strategy is,
I don't know. I'll leave that up to you, but
(07:56):
I think the plan right now in the House of
Representatives is to pass a three month temporary continuing resolution
taking us out to December. And the reason for that
is is they want the dust. Republicans in the House
of Representatives want the dust to settle on the election.
They want to see if they expand their majority in
the House. They want to see if Trump's gonna be
(08:17):
back in the White House, because if they do, they'll
have much more leverage in December, knowing that come January
they're gonna have a majority in the House of Representatives,
a bigger majority in the House of Representatives, much more eat,
much eat, have a much easier time whipping votes and
bringing Republicans to the table, and they'll have a much
easier time keeping Democrats at bay. Obviously, Trump in the
White House helps a lot. Not worried about having a
(08:40):
majority in the Senate, We're very very likely going to
have a Republican majority in the Senate. All you got
to do is win West Virginia to do that. Montana.
The Cook Political Report and Shihi versus John Tester up
there in Montana, that race was just moved to lean Republicans.
So it looks like, at a minimum, we're gonna we're
definitely taking West Virginia. It looks unless some changes drastically
(09:01):
between now an election day, that we're gonna take Montana
as well, and all that mean like and then we've
got a great shot with Sam Brown and Nevada. We've
got a great shot in Arizona with Kerry Lake. We
even have a good shot in Maryland. Now, I'm not
a Larry Hogan guy. He's a little bit milk toast
moderate for me. But I'd rather have a milk toast
(09:21):
moderate that votes with Republicans sixty seven per seventy percent
of the time than some radical mouth breathing commie leftists
in Maryland. Larry Hogan, I mean, savage rich would probably
disagree with me, but Larry Hogan was a very popular
governor of the state of Maryland, with something like a
seventy percent approval rating, and it looks like as of
(09:41):
right now, he's competitive. Dave McCormick is also very competitive
in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the lynchpin to everything.
It's a state that closes late. It's a state that
closes fast. And what I mean by that is you've
got over one point two million independents in this commonwealth
who won't pay attention to the race until perhaps you
(10:02):
know sixty you know, ra actually right now, sixty thirty
sixty days before an election day, and you start seeing
the polls close really fast. And Dave McCormick as of
right now, is tied in this race with an eighteen
year incumbent and Bob Casey. This is a big deal
for a lot of reasons, because if Dave McCormick wins
(10:23):
this seat again, it's gonna be razor razor thin. It
very likely means Trump wins Pennsylvania. And the interesting thing
about the McCormick Trump ticket or the Trump McCormick ticket.
Those two folks on the top of the ticket, they
could not be more different. They're unified, they're campaigning together,
they're supporting one another, but they could not be more different.
(10:43):
And the last time the Republicans won the state of
Pennsylvania was when Trump was on the ballot in sixteen
and Toomey was on the ballot in sixteen. Toomey voted
to convict Trump in the impeachment. So they could not
be more different. But that intellectual in political diversity at
the top of the ticket created some odd strange synergies
(11:05):
and paths for both Trump and Pat Toomey at the
time that led them to success in sixteen. And I
think that this race, this time around, McCormick, Trump, Trump
McCormick have that same type of synergy. And not to mention,
the Republicans got the bank the vote game down, and
we're registering Republicans at a very fast clip. We've cut
(11:28):
the Democrat registration lead in half here in this state.
So Pennsylvania is on the board. So Trump looks good
right now. It's going to be a close race. It
looks like Republicans are going to expand the majority or
at least take back the majority in the Senate and
maybe perhaps pat it a little bit. So it comes
down to the House. So Republicans in the House one
are three a three month continuing resolution to prevent a
(11:52):
government shut down. Then come December they find out if
they have leverage by banning their majority with Trump of
the White House, or if God forbid, you know, Trump
doesn't win, or for whatever reason the Republicans in the
House of Representatives don't expand their majority. They'll know, they'll
know in which case what harm was there in waiting.
(12:12):
So that's the game right now. And so there's that.
And then the other thing was in talking to people
at this event today, I my sense was that people,
and I say, this is someone who's been on the
campaign trail for years. You know, I'm not the smartest
guy in the world, you know, but I gotta I
(12:36):
feel like I can read people. And my sense is
is that people in that room were very, very scared.
Not scared, I don't mean that in a negative way,
but really at an existential level about the direction of
this country. You know, I was lucky to have an
(12:58):
opportunity to speak, but I could sense when you're up
there speaking in front of a crowd, there's this odd
transference that happens. But I could sense people's concern that
we might not get another opportunity to turn this thing around.
And people seem very, very very engaged, And I think
(13:19):
that's a really good thing. We need people to be engaged.
We can't afford to be the silent majority anymore. I'm
feeling something on the ground here in Pennsylvania that haven't
quite felt before, and I think it bodes well for Republicans.
You see the news coming out of Pennsylvania today which
is a major win for election integrity in Pennsylvania, and
(13:42):
that's to listen to this. The five to two Democrat
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a four to three ruling vacated
a liberal court and restored Pennsylvania statute requiring voters to
date their mail in ballots. That's a big deal. Do
you want to know why that's a big deal? Because
that makes it harder for Democrats to cheat. Right. I
(14:05):
will say, I'm just reporting this news to you now
because this news just broke. But when I first read it,
my political spidey sense went off, like, huh, this doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. Democrats on the court
don't often vote for something that would be contrary to
(14:25):
their cause. You know, these Democrats are activist, these Democrat judges,
they're activists in robes. Right. So this was surprising to me,
and I need a little bit more time to think
about why it was surprising to me and why it
concerns me. But on its face, this looks like a win.
And then here look at this in Connecticut, judge overturns
(14:49):
Bridgeport Democrat mayoral primary election, calling evidence of fraud quote
shocking and I quote The volume of ballots so mishandled
is such that it calls the result of the primary
election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to
determine the legitimate result of the primary. Clark wrote in
(15:10):
his ruling, adding that the videos are shocking to the
court and should be shocking to all the parties. So,
in essence, what happened here is this Connecticut judge ordered
an entirely new election after surveillance video showed ballot stuffing
at a historic level in you guessed it, drop boxes.
(15:32):
Now where have you heard before? Now? That Democrats stuff
drop boxes with forged, fraudulent mail in ballots. I think
you've heard it here from me. You know, I've said many,
many times, and of course you all know this too,
but I've said many times I witnessed them doing it,
(15:53):
and then to be gas lit by the media that
somehow cheating and elections doesn't happen is absolutely positively sickening. So, folks,
this race is all you know. To me, it's all
about the economy. It's the economy, stupid. And I'm gonna
talk a little bit about the economy here in a second, Folks,
this election is going to come down to the economy.
(16:14):
It's just that simple. You know, I've told you my theory,
told you my theory about this, James Carboll, it's the
economy stupid. Democrats have a perverse spin on that, where
they're telling the American people that the economy is great stupid,
and they keep trying that, and they're surrogates. Democrat surrogates
(16:36):
continue to tell the media, well, the messaging just hasn't
sunk in yet, that people just haven't realized how awesome
our economy is. But listen to CNN talking about the
economy and I want you to tell me if you
think that this is positive for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Let's talk about let's refocus on one big issue because
it's kind of come back into the spotlight next week,
which is the economy. We've got the FED very likely
looking to cut rates for the first time since early
pandemic days. What what does that mean for this point
in the campaign, Because it's a funky place. You've got
(17:13):
potentially a good sign that Kamala Harris can talk about
kind of quote unquote late stage change, but you still
have Donald Trump killing her when it comes to the economy,
and that flash in that snaphall after the bank he
was up twenty points on the economy, even though the
vast majority said she wanted to be Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That is what this race is going to come down to,
And Van Jones went on to say that, you know,
but it should break down further than that, because you know,
it comes down to people whether they believe you're actually
going you actually care about them, or you care about billionaires,
(17:53):
you care about corporations, you care about the middle class
really believes that, like, it doesn't really matter if people
believe you're stronger in the economy. It comes down to
whether or not people believe you're going to fight for
them and folks. That is exactly and precisely what Trump
does just so well. He fights for middle class and
(18:15):
working families. He fights for lower income families like no
Republican president I've ever seen. That's not hyperbole. I mean
that Trump has reshaped the Republican Party into the party
of the American working class, into the party of the
American middle class. This is a great place to be
(18:39):
because Democrats are now the party of Hollywood elites. They're
the party of billionaires, They're the party of big tech oligarchs.
They're the party of media elites. The Democrats their constituency
is shrinking, and they know it. More Latinos this cycle
have left the Democrat Party than almost any time before
(19:01):
in the last certainly in the last thirty years. More
Black Americans have left the Democrat Party this year than
almost any other time before. Trump is doing better with
the black community than almost any other president going all
the way back to Gerald Ford. So I'm not trying
to give you a sense of false hope. We've got
to work our asses off here in this election. We've
got to sprint to the finish. But let me tell you,
(19:22):
nobody has been putting forward more bold economic policy proposals
than than Donald Trump. The stuff that he's proposing is
going to revitalize this economy in a huge way. Listen
to this.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I'm also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts,
we will end all taxes on overtime.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You know what that means.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Think of that that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
That gives people more of an incentive to work. It
gives the companies a lot. The people who work over
time are among the hardest working citizens in our country,
and for too long, no one in Washington has been
looking out for them.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Those are the people they really work. They're police officers, nurses.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And machine operators.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It's time for the working man and woman to finally
catch a break. And that's what we're doing because this
is a good one and I think it's going to
be great for the country.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
In the same speech, Trump mentioned that he talked to
some top economists about this plan and said that they
were really excited about it because it would grow our
economy at an historic pace. Now Trump has proposed ending
taxation on tips. Trump has proposed ending taxation on social security,
(20:53):
and now he's proposing ending taxation on overtime. This will
be like injecting rocket fuel into our economy. It's this
isn't rocket science. You allow people to keep more of
their hard earned money, they're gonna spend that money in
the local community. They're gonna spend that money paying their
(21:14):
own taxes. Right, They're gonna spend that money on their
local economy. They're gonna spend that I mean, it's just
a no brainer. And that's our pathway out of this.
Our pathway out of this debt trap that we're in
is rapid economic growth. We're thirty five trillion dollars in debt,
(21:37):
thirty five trillion. This has become a grave, and I
do mean grave, national security threat. We are not a
rich nation, but we live like we are a rich nation.
And what concerns me is that you'd think every news
(22:01):
outlet would report on what I'm talking about. You think
they talk about the thirty five trillion dollars that you know,
our thirty thirty five trillion dollar debt as if it
is a national security threat. But the media, and certainly
both Democrat and Republican politicians don't seem to care. In fact,
(22:26):
it's just business as usual. Well, I'm here to tell
you that the ship is sinking and we don't have
a whole lot of time left to plug the holes.
And it ain't just me saying that.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Listen, tax cuts, it's you go up before you come down.
Trump tax cuts would have paid for themselves by twenty
twenty two. Because it's a growth strategy. Reason I've come
out behind from behind my desk for this election, because
you know, I think this is the last chance for
America to throw its way out of this step problem.
(23:02):
If you can increase growth, you can change their trajectory.
And everything that I'm seeing from Harris Biden is more taxes,
more regulation. We go into kind of a European style malaise.
The government spending gets to be a bigger and bigger
percent of the economy.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Government spending gets to be a bigger and bigger percent
of the economy. No, I want to see if I
can just break this down and as simple as possible,
we bring in four point four trillion dollars in taxes
every single year. Okay, our country spends six point one
(23:42):
trillion dollars every year we are spending more money than
we bring in in taxes. You can't spend more money
than you bring in in your home year after year
after year after year without going bankrupt. Our government doesn't
have to worry about that because they just print more money.
(24:02):
And the more they print money, the more they make
the inflation problem worse, which is why we're in the
situation that we're in right now. Years and years and
years of irresponsible spending habits, both by Democrats and Republicans
have led us to this point, and now Americans are
feeling the heat. Primarily I mean everybody, but definitely our seniors,
(24:26):
who work their asses off. They give us this country
that we have today, should be able to retire in peace.
I can't tell you how many seniors I hear from
who are retired but have to go back to work
because of the policy the Biden Harris administration. Most of
these seniors are living on fixed income. Inflation hurts them
the most because it devalues the dollar. So we bring
(24:51):
in four point four trillion, we spend six point one trillion.
But let's assume for a second and follow me here.
Let's assume that Trump wins and because of the Trump victory,
we get five percent growth per year. And the assumption
therefore is is that at five percent GDP growth, you
(25:15):
get five percent tax revenue growth as well. So if
you go seven years of five percent growth, that gets
tax revenue from four point four up to six point
one trillion. Okay, the same amount that our government spends.
So you can't so it can't just be about economic growth.
There's a twofold strategy. You've got to grow the economy
(25:39):
so that you start bringing in six point one trillion
dollars in a tax base. You grow the economy, you
grow the tax base. You got more people working, you
got more people paying taxes. Right, so you go from
four point four trillion to six point one trillion in taxes. So,
but you've also got a freeze spending and get five
percent growth for seven straight years. If you do that,
(25:59):
you're revenue new neutral. Right. But the problem is we
can't freeze spending. We can't stop our addiction to it.
And you've got mandatory spending programs like social Security and medicaid.
They go up every single year. Social Security checks go
up two point five percent next year. So in order
(26:19):
to freeze spending, you would have to cut discretionary spending
to make it up for it, and most discretionary spending
is the Department of Defense. But it's really freaking hard
to cut the Department of Defense budget when you're sending
hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. And then, oh,
by the way, if you stop doing that, we should
stop doing that. But then you start talking about balancing
the budget on the backs of the war fighters. That
(26:42):
is not a good place to be. So so you understand,
just in a very rudimentary sense, why we are in
the situation that we're in. And that brings me to
a point about Elon Musk and Trump and JD. Vans
now talking about putting him in a position of power
to audit the federal government, to do efficiency checks in
(27:05):
the federal government. The reason why this is important is
that the largest employer in our country are federal employees.
Is the government. That's not a good thing. So you
get Elon Musk coming in and he starts maybe trimming
the fat in these government and among these government jobs,
(27:26):
just like he did at Twitter. I think Elon Musk
cut eighty percent of the workforce of Twitter and Twitter
and Slash or x now is better than it ever was.
I'm not saying that Musk is going to come in
and get rid of eighty percent of the government jobs. No,
that's not what I'm saying. But there is certainly a
lot of fraud, waste, and abuse and duplicated effort in
our federal government. So just just think about the things
(27:50):
that Elon Musk has done. And the reason why this
is important and the reason why it's necessary is that
his Starling provides rural internet at a fraction of the
cost compared to government contracts to you know, corporate buddies
and crony capitalism. His Space program. It's just like, there's
(28:12):
not even it's not even an apt comparison. It's succeeding
at a much lower cost than Boeing, for example. So
if government gets out of the way and lets the
free market work, that would help a ton. But the
more there's a direct correlation between a big, bloated government
(28:33):
and high taxes and astounding debt, a debt that's Trea's
thirty five trillion. It is now a grave national security threat.
And I know this is probably boring to you, but
this stuff is the stuff that kills nations that along
with unchecked immigration and all the things that the Democrats
are doing. My point is this, there is a way out,
(28:58):
but we have to start acting now. Like yesterday. The
problem is urgent and cat I also got to talk
about terriffs here for a second. When I was running
for office, I made a point to go to every
manufacturing facility that I could, you know, steel, you know
places that are making you know, weapons or armor plating
(29:21):
for our vehicles. A lot of stuff is done here
in Pennsylvania. Bombs, jade, ams, munitions factories. Again, a lot
of that stuff done in Pennsylvania. I straight up would
ask the CEOs of these companies, how do you feel
about the Trump tariffs, each and every one of them.
And this is not an exaggeration. They all said, yeah,
(29:43):
in the short term, it it's it's it can be tough.
But in the long term it had to happen. It
simply had to happen because China manipulates the markets with
artificially cheap steel that is garbage, and they flood our
markets with that at a super low price and undercut
(30:04):
of American manufacturing. And what ends up happening is is
American manufacturing all these jobs get shipped overseas, and that
hollows out our manufacturing core. Well, listen, we saw how
dangerous that was during COVID, right where China was a
primary manufacturer of a great many antibiotics, even things like aspirin. Said,
(30:30):
screw you, America, We're not sending you any of this stuff. Oh,
by the way, the apple plant that we have here, yeah,
we know it's an American owned company, but we're just
taking control of that too, screw you. But you see
how this works, right, So I would argue that our
manufacturing core, you know, the steel industry, for example, is
also has national security implications. If shit hits the fan,
(30:52):
and it just might, we want to be able to
produce stuff here in America. And so tariffs, you know,
while most of these executives will acknowledge not great initially,
but as the market evens out, it's something that absolutely
had to happen because China is cheating, and as they cheat,
(31:15):
they get more powerful. You see, Without tariffs, there's no
penalty for what China does in manipulating their currency and
manipulating the markets and the dumping of cheap steel in
the American economy. Tariffs punish China for that bad economic behavior.
And oh, by the way, it also punishes them for
(31:35):
using child slave labor. Slave labor is pretty profitable. But
to not put tariffs on China is for America to say, yeah,
we're fine with child slave labor, you know, as long
as I can pay for things and maybe get things
a dollar cheaper. So to me, there is a moral
(31:56):
argument for tariffs on China as well as an economic argument,
as well as a national security argument. It's time we
start taking care of this country. It's time we start
taking care of Americans first. All right. I saw this
(32:17):
video of Kamala Harris talked to you about Pennsylvania as
she was asked about her prospects in Pennsylvania. And again,
you know my thoughts on Pennsylvania. It's everything. That's why
she's spending so much time here. She did in a
it wasn't a scripted it wasn't a press conference. She
(32:38):
just answered a couple questions from media's yelling, yelling questions
at her. She's at a gas station or something. Look
at what she says.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
I am feeling very good about Pennsylvania because there are
a lot of people in Pennsylvania who deserve to be
seen and heard. That's why I'm here in Johnstown, and
I will be continuing to travel around the state to
make sure.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That I'm listening as much as we are talking.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
And ultimately, I feel very strongly that we've got to
earn every book, and that means spending time with folks
in the communities where they live. And so that's why
I'm here. We're going to be spending a lot more
time in.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Pennsylvania, folks. It's Trump assassination stuff that's bad, bad, bad,
bad just keeps happening. You know, I'm very, very concerned
that there's something sinister that's going on behind the scenes.
You know, it feels to me like there is a massive,
(33:38):
massive cover up happening right now. It just does. You know.
I'm not trying to be a crazy person here, but
within two days after the Reagan assassination, we knew almost
everything there was to know about Hinckley. We know nothing
about what happened. By the way, it's September thirteenth, two
months after that fateful day. We still know nothing. And
(34:01):
you had Dick Blumenthal stolen valor. Dick Blumenthal, Democrat senator,
Trump hating Democrat senator sitting on the couch with Commander
Melanie last night, and she goes, oh my god, I
said what she said? Did you hear what Bluementhal said?
I said, no, what did he say? Said? She played
(34:22):
me this sound listen.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished,
and appalled by what we will report to them about
the failures and Secret Service in this assassination tempt the
former president. But I think they also ought to be
appalled astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland
(34:46):
Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid can
Frank as it should be to them in terms of
providing information. And we are going to absolutely in on
the truth and the whole truth in documents and testinol
(35:07):
as members of the United States Senate, but also as citizens.
What did you learn new today when you said they're
going to be all.
Speaker 9 (35:13):
I'm not going to go into what we have learned
in specifics. I'm giving you my reaction, and we will
have a report very very soon that I think will
absolutely shock the American people or should about the lapses
and mys in the protection that was afforded that day
(35:37):
and the breakdown and communication failure and responsibility.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Is there a report coming today or tomorrow?
Speaker 9 (35:44):
Is that a report coming out tonight or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
No, it just seems like he's real eager to point
the finger at the Secret Service, and to be clear,
they were all sorts of messed up. I don't know
there's any question about that. I mean, this whistleblower thing,
I mean, listened to Holly last night on Jesse Waters
(36:07):
talking about the woman or the person who was in
charge of the site prep that day where that rally,
the Butler County Rally was held. Listen to Josh Holly
talking about this on Jesse Waters last night. Senator Josh
Holly joins me now with some.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
New whistleblower reporting. What are they telling you now, Senator.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Tesse.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
What I'm learning now is that the lead advance agent
that day in Pennsylvania, this is the agent that was
in charge of Trump's entire trip in Pennsylvania. That this
agent actually failed one or more of her training exams
when she first joined the Secret Service. I mean, the
pattern that is emerging here, Jesse, from whistleblowers who've come
(36:51):
forward to me now over and over again, is that
the Trumpet rally was undermanned, it was understaffed, They did
not have people who had experience on it. And now
this advance I'm told may have failed one or more
for training exams and was known not to be a
top quality agent.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I mean, this is absurd. And the fact that.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
The director will not level with the American people about
what's going on here is just totally unacceptable and unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, but there's something else going on. The fact that
he won't level with the American people is a red flag.
So you have Blumenthal coming out and saying this, trying
to sort of point the finger at the Secret Service,
and of course they own a lot of this. And
(37:37):
then you have this this Josh Holly coming out with
this whistleblower saying like, oh, well, you know, like look
at this person, like didn't have any training, failed critical tests.
I mean, this is like emblematic of why with standards,
the slow erosion of standards across the military, across you know,
Department of Homeland Security, clear to the Secret Service, like
(37:58):
it's just hurting readiness and make us less safe because
of course eroded standards would do that. But something doesn't
make sense here. You add to both of these clips.
The video of Milania Trump asking a very direct question
of why didn't they arrest this guy before the shot
was taken they knew about him walking around with a
(38:20):
range finder. This is a former First Lady of the
United States saying this. If this was Michelle Obama saying it,
think about that, it would be headline news. Mean, there'd
be a damn Netflix documentary if something like this happened
to Barack Obama. We are in the midst of one
(38:41):
of the greatest cover ups of our time, among a
great many like it's just just unbelievable things that we
have lived through in our time. Just add this to
that list. Something does not make sense, something does not
add up. And I'm worried that it's gonna happen again, folks,
(39:04):
I really am, because so much of the reason why
we are here. I truly believe that that attempt on
Trump's life There's more there than meets the eye, for sure,
But the media and their irresponsible rhetoric, their part in
(39:25):
all of this cannot, and I mean this cannot be dismissed.
I mean, listen to Trump almost lost his life two
months ago. Somebody in Butler County, Corey compretour did lose
his life. Two other people were wounded, They almost lost
their lives. This just happened. Look at how MSNBC is
(39:51):
talking about Trump and Trump's supporters also to.
Speaker 11 (39:54):
Do things, Ellie that one would think our career ending
the way he desecrated Arlington Nowtional cemetery would be career
ending for normal politician. His constant lives. But even this
piece about saying, well, my building was the tallest until
you know they brought down the World Trade Center.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Now it's the second talk.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
I mean, everything he does is despicable.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
The reason why it doesn't and his career is because
his supporters are just as despicable, all right, Like Trump's
whole thing. He's a narcissist, right, and so his whole
thing is to have a complete lack of compassion and
empathy for everybody else. It's all about him. That's why
he lies about nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
It's all about him, him, him, me, me, me.
Speaker 10 (40:31):
It's he's probably the least compassionate president we've had in
two hundred years since Andrew Jackson. And it works for
him because his supporters are just as ungenerous and have
just as little compassion and empathy for others. So when
he is seen out there essentially, as you guys have
put it, desecrating our national symbols, when he is seen
(40:52):
out there putting himself above all else, his supporters also
want that to be the case. They want to do
that in their own lives. They want that's how they
think of themselves. And that's why it never hurts Trump
when he takes these crass and classless actions. It's because
his supporters think that being crass and classless is actually
kind of cool.
Speaker 11 (41:12):
Yeah, and they also he hates the people they hate.
So when he makes up this idea that these Muslims
in New Jersey were cheering and they're Americans in New
Jersey cheering supposedly for the towers to come down, He's like, well, yo,
because my supporters don't like them right the same way.
And this is the precuri.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
That revolting Slob just called seventy five to eighty million
people in this country despicable, said that seventy five eighty
million people in this country are narcissists, that essentially we're racist,
(41:53):
horrible hate mongers. It's some of the most hateful rhetoric
that you'll see on TV. I mean, this is why
you know Morning Joe wasn't aired the day after the
Trump assassination attempt, because the people that are running the
show at these corporate media outlets know they are hateful
(42:16):
and divisive. They know it. But do you think can
I harken back to what I said before about never
accepting a fake piece from these Democrat hacks in the
media and Democrats on the hill. It's never genuous, it's
never it's never genuine. It's always fake. It's always to
(42:41):
get you to break contact, to not press forward the attack.
Look at some of the stuff and the hate field
rhetoric that they're spewing. Now when Trump says, you know
they're coming after you, I'm just standing in the way.
He's exactly right, He's exactly right. You know, in the
(43:04):
media in the wake of the debate created this, you know, hoax,
this yet another hoax of Trump not knowing that the
name of the Taliban commander. And look at this moron
joy Reid, like, look look at this, this woman. She
is dangerous. She is just filled with just hate filled propaganda.
(43:26):
I mean, listening to her, listen, look look at look
at her here, listen to her here basically pushing what
is yet another hoax about the leader of the Taliban's name.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
The man who now leads a Taliban in Afghanistan, Mala
Abdul Ghani Baradar.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Mala Abdul Ghani Baradar, co founder of the Taliban.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I could hear in Mala Baradar's voice, very new President
Trump meant business.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
CBS News has confirmed that CIA director William Burns met
secretly in Kabble with the Taliban's de facto leader, Abdulanni Bardar.
Speaker 6 (44:01):
We have learned that CIA director William Burns traveled to
Kabble for a secret meeting with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Bardar,
a Taliban co founder, Mullah abdul Ghani Baradar, who oversaw
the signing of the US Withdrawal Agreement last year.
Speaker 11 (44:16):
The night This is the part where Donald Trump invented someone.
He invented a person who doesn't exist. In addition to
the people he says are eating dog, here's another person
who doesn't exist. His name is Abdul.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
And Abdul is the head of the Taliban. He is
still the head of the Taliban. And I told Abdul
don't do it anymore.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
You do it anymore, you're gonna have problems.
Speaker 11 (44:36):
Maybe the reason that VP Harris is looking at him
that way is or that she's probably thinking maybe he
should go back to folks home and have a bowl
of jello, or she might also thinking herself, no, no, no,
the head of the Taliban's name is not Abdul. It
is Hippatullah a kunzaza Akunzada. So maybe he couldn't remember that.
You know, I had to write it down to know it.
(44:57):
Your thoughts on his response in making up Abdul as
a person that isn't real.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
No one can really confirm who this Taliban person named
Abdullah is who he said he'd talked to us.
Speaker 12 (45:07):
The bizarrest fit in the Whole debate where he describes
the leader of the Taliban as the guy called Abdul.
I mean, it's you know, it's a completely non existent person.
He's just chosen the one Muslim name he can remember.
It's like, I don't know the leader of the Taliban,
saying that guy John who leads the West, or is
it Billy. That's that's the kindest of wacky directions. Seek
(45:34):
she sent his head in because she had prepared so well.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
These people are just completely lost, just hate filled losers. So,
speaking of the ABC debate, there is a big controversy
that is brewing right now that just might explode. Let
me tell you about this ABC debate scandal that's brewing
this town hall headline. If this is true, ABC News
(45:59):
is about to be engulfed in a major scandal. This
from the article I asked yesterday morning whether Kamala Harris's
campaign got the ABC News debate questions in advance. The
Vice President was visibly nervous for the first portion of
the debate, but got into a groove, especially when she
figured out that Donald Trump would take debate. She was chumming.
When Trump took it hook line and sinker on the
(46:21):
rally size dig. You knew he was going to be
kicked off message when he had a wide berth to
rip into Harris on inflation, immigration and overall making us
poorer than we were four years ago. Harris seemed ready
for the questions, which explained her word salad responses, but
she never answered any of the questions from moderators David
(46:42):
Muir and Lindsay Davis. They did fact, Trump live through
those interruptions, though those interruptions were peppered with fake news,
no shock there. Harris was never pressed for her mountain
of lies. And we know why. Listen to this. An
ABC whistleblower is alleging that not only did the Harris
campaign get the questions and advance, but that she was
(47:04):
given assurances that she wouldn't be fact checked by the
moderators either. And the author goes on to say, I'm
not saying that this is a fact, but if this
is true, it's a major, major scandal. And listen when
Melanie and I were watching this debate, and look, we've
been there. We have been We've been on the debate
(47:25):
stage before. Melanie's like, god, it really feels like she
has the questions in advance, just by the way she
was engaging with the moderators right now. The moderators would
go to her almost forcefully, right when Trump is trying
to answer something. Oh oh, Trump's a big piece of shit.
O Kamala, how do you feel about that? You know,
like it just shift the question to Kamala. It all
(47:47):
seemed it just seemed choreographed. It just didn't seem authentic.
But rather than ABC giving the questions to Kamala. I
think it might be the other way around. I think
that Kamala and her team very likely gave preapproved questions
(48:08):
to ABC and they just said, yeah, we'll adopt these
questions for batim. This is not a conspiracy theory. This
has happened before. You remember that Biden was doing this
in his radio interviews. He was convincing radio stations to
cut out and clip his interviews and not air them live,
(48:28):
to cut out the bad parts giving radio station. Remember,
somebody was fired, a radio host was fired I think
in Philadelphia for this. So taking preapproved questions from the
Biden campaign, this is how these radical COMMI mouth breathing
democrats operate. So what it really surprised you if Kamala
or her campaign was giving preapproved questions to ABC. Of
course it wasn't. And speaking of one of the many
(48:51):
lies that Kamala told during her debate, I saw this
and I got a kick out of it, and I
want you to see it because I want to go
out on Friday on a positive note. When Kamala said
that there's not any single American serviceman or women deployed
in uniform and on active duty in a war zone
right now, Well, remember how I told you yesterday that
the debate moderators were so egregious and so biased that
(49:16):
people weren't going to be able to keep their mouth shut.
They're going to start coming forward in fact checking the
debate on their own and posting these viral videos. Well, yeah,
it happened yesterday, happening more today. Watch this.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Well, I will tell you I agreed with President Biden's
decision to pull out of Afghanistan. Four presidents said they would,
and Joe Biden day and as a result, America's taxpayers
are not paying the three hundred million dollars a day
we were paying for that endless war. And as of today,
there is not one member of the United States military
(49:51):
who is in active duty in a combat zone in
any war zone around the world. The first time this
is but let's understand, So what.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
The fuck are we right? I told you that, like
the debate moderators were so biased that people weren't going
to be able they were gonna start calling her out
on their own and with with Elon Musk, with social media.
Oh my god, I just think this stuff is so powerful.
(50:22):
Last thing, last thing before we pop smoke for the weekend.
Did you see the video of Tim Wallas where he
called Kamala a prostitutor. You got to see it if
you haven't.
Speaker 8 (50:34):
Because this started and I love this story as a
young prostitutor.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Kamala Harris talked about going in that as a young
prostitutor because this started, and I love this story as
a young prostitutor. Clearly evant to say prosecutor, but he
said prostitutor. I wonder what he was thinking when he
was I wonder if she if he actually believes that,
if it's a Freudian slip of sorts. Well, listen, I
(51:00):
can't believe the show's I can't believe it's already an hour.
Can you can't believe you're going into the weekend? Well, listen,
we're celebrating my one of my dog got one of
my daughter's fourteenth birthday this weekend. And it's kind of
amazing because time is just flying by. Kids are growing
up so fast. So proud of these kids. It's seriously
(51:23):
so proud of them. They're amazing kids. You know, I
let in with the show talking about, you know, engaging
with folks at the guy Russenthaler's event and fundraiser, And
it's my favorite part of campaigning is meeting the people.
I absolutely love that part of it. And I'd be
lying to you if I told you that I didn't
(51:44):
miss it. And I you know that Senate race, the
way it ended for me, you don't want to go
out like that. You know, it was just such fake bullshit.
It's just it's this total fake crap. And I had
never quit anything in my life. But on the other hand,
God really works in mysterious ways. And I've told you
before I hate when people say that, but it's also true.
(52:06):
Had I won that Senate race and be down in Washington,
d C. I wouldn't be there for so many moments
for my kids, you know, moments that over the last
couple of years kids were just little. I just you
don't get that time back your kids are young. Once
you know you got a kid, you got like what
(52:30):
ten or twelve Christmases? You know you got eighteen, you
got ten or twelve Christmases where they're true believers. If
you know what I'm saying, You know you got eighteen
Summers at home goes by so fast, and I look
back and as horrible and as trying as that time was,
really was the most difficult time in my life. I'm
(52:51):
almost glad that it happened because it made my family closer.
But I got to be there for my kids. Still
missed a lot of time that I shouldn't have had
to miss because that bullshit law fare stuff, but I uh,
I just don't regret it. I like being there for
him and to be able to be there this weekend
and celebrate with my daughter, and of course the family's
(53:13):
coming over to Fort Parnell to help bring in the
celebrations and you know, watching my oldest daughter get her license,
and you know, my my youngest son excel at at
ice hockey, and my other daughter Natalie just you know,
she does so well at volleyball, and Emma crushing the
musical like and being able to go to those things
and be a part of their life. It's just been
(53:33):
so important to me. And as much as I miss campaigning,
I think that maybe it just wasn't my time. It's
not to say it won't ever be my time, but
back then, maybe it just wasn't supposed to be my time.
So with that, folks, I want you to have a
great weekend. I really do. We're in the home stretch
of this race. We've got a campaign like we're ten
(53:54):
points down. Don't ever be the silent majority, which I
know the Battle creup doesn't have a problem with. Thank
you to mcgro nation for always supporting this show. We
love you here in the Battle Crew. You are always welcome.
We're a better show for having you a part of it.
And yeah, folks, make sure you smash that like button
before we get out of here, that little green thumb
beneath the video. Smash that like button. And as always, folks,
(54:16):
God bless you all. Seriously, something I said to the crowd,
I asked the crowd today, I'm like, do you believe
you know that there's a spiritual war happening in America,
that there's a fight between good and evil happening. Every
single person in that crowd raised their hand or said yes, Yes,
there's something going on in this country where more people,
(54:39):
just than ever before, are awake. And I like it.
So keep the faith, take action in your community to
save this country. As always, folks, God bless you all,
and God bless this amazing country that we call home.
I will see you on Monday. Have a great weekend,
I really do. We live in the best country on
the face of the planet. Enjoy every second. God bless
you folks. I'll see on Monday. Take care, good night.
