Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wo R from Everywhere USA.
It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Baala Hey, it's actually
Jason chap It's filling in for Jimmy today. We got
a great hour coming up. I really do appreciate you
joining us. I think you're gonna have fun. I think
all the kids are gonna like it. You know, Jimmy's
(00:26):
got these cool buttons. I'm just not really adept at
hitting these buttons to make all these sound effects. Sorry
for the delay there, but he's there's nothing like Jimmy.
But you know what, he's out west. He's taken a
little R and R with his family, and good for him.
And I hope you're going to enjoy the holiday because
fourth of July it's one of the best two hundred
(00:47):
and forty nine years folks. Next year two hundred and
fifty woah, now that's gonna be a good one. Also,
want to highlight my book, They're Coming for you. It's
out today. Today is day one. This is my fifth book,
four hundred and fifty footnotes. This is about how deep
state spies, NGOs, and woke corporations plan to push you
(01:09):
out of the economy. Folks, if you don't understand how
they're using data and manipulating it, how they're They're not
just gonna let people like you know, maybe our conservatives
support Donald Trump, people that you know, maybe bought a gun,
maybe bought a Maga hat, maybe shopped at Cabella's or
something place like that. You think they're just gonna let
them live their life without no no, no, without disruption. No,
(01:32):
They're gonna put social credit scores on you. They're gonna
do dbanking as they have. They're gonna affect elections with
this data. They're using data more than you can imagine.
And it's not just Hey, I was talking to somebody
about buying a couch and all of a sudden, all
the ads on my phone starts showing up. Were for couches.
(01:52):
It's much more nefarious than that. It affects healthcare, it
affects voting, it affects lots of things. And that's what
I wrote this book. They're coming for you. It's out now.
I did the audio so you can listen to my
voice read it, or you have the hard copy in
the books, and today is day one. It's available for sale,
so I encourage you. I wrote it for a reason
(02:13):
because I want everybody to kind of see what I'm seeing,
which is the deep state in action and these NGOs
and they're woke agenda. They may have Donald Trump in office,
but you know what, they're still working at it, and
they're going to come for you and they're going to
get you if you're not paying attention. So that's why
this book's out and I hope you enjoy it. I
(02:34):
think it'll do quite well. All right, we are jumping
into things now because we have Emily Sturge joining us.
She's from Campcer Campus Reform, a reporter for Campus Reform
and there she is up on the screen if you're
watching on Fox Nation. But thanks so much for joining
us on Fox across America. Emily appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Hey, Jason, I'm so excited to be here. And congratulations
on the new book.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, thank you, thank you very much. You know, we've
talked about the fourth of July. It's like one of
my favorites. You know, whether you're at the beach, or
you're up in the mountains, or just at home, or
maybe you're at work. You're one of those people that
are working. You know, it's still just the greatest country
on the face of the planet. And what's really interesting
is to me is to watch and see the surge
(03:22):
of patriotism. Is it going up? Is it going down?
Is it? And tell me about younger people, because there
seems to be a refreshing surge of patriotism with younger people,
which is great to.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
See there certainly is I.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Generation Z is very excited this week to party like
some patriots. The fourth of July is such an exciting
time to celebrate America's independence. And as a reporter for
the leadership and Stu's campus Reform, I'm talking to Generation
Z every single day I'm on the ground, and just
within the past week, I have talked to dozens of
my peers and ask them if they've noticed this renewed
(03:58):
sense of patriotism, and so many of them excitedly said yes.
I heard from members of my generation say that it
feels like it's okay to be patriotic again. They said,
it feels like it's okay to be Christian again. And
I'm noticing this revival in conservatism, this revival in faith,
and this revival certainly in patriotism amongst so many members
(04:21):
of my generation it's certainly so exciting to see.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, what do you attribute that to? I mean, I
think it's great. You know, people waving the flag feeling
good about their country, which I hope has also means
they're feeling good about themselves. They feel good if they
see a law enforcement officer or maybe somebody in the military.
But that's all good. But why, Like, I'm glad it's there,
I just don't know exactly why.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, their optimism for this country certainly goes hand in
hand with their optimism for this presidential administration. And CBS
actually did a poll earlier this year where they asked
members from all of the generations their optimism levels under
this administer and believe it or not, the generation that
was the most optimistic was Generation Z. Sixty seven percent
(05:07):
of eighteen twenty nine year old said that they were
hopeful of the things that they would see under this administration.
And I've talked to so many members of Gen Z
who consistently bring up the economy. They want to see
the American dream, they want to see houses become more affordable,
they want to see the ability for them to get
good jobs after college graduation, and so many of my
(05:27):
peers believe that the Trump administration is going to make
that easier. I really think that that's driving that optimism level.
But I do want to point out I've seen both
my peers on the left and the right have this
renewed sense of patriotism. I don't think it's necessarily partisan.
I think patriotism should be bipartisan, and it does go
hand in hand with the Trump administration, but I do
(05:49):
certainly see it on the left side.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So I have a little bit of a theory here,
and part of that is that younger generation boy right
at the heart of when they were reaching adulthood and
maybe in college or even high school, that's when COVID
hit right, and it was so restrictive and you couldn't socialize,
you couldn't do all those things that normally teenagers do.
(06:12):
And so this freedom, they start to appreciate it more
when there aren't the restrictions that having to wear masks
and you can't go to class, and you can't do this,
and you can't do that. And so all of a sudden,
Donald Trump's here and people are feeling more free. More
freedom equals more patriotism. Would I be wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
No, that's certainly a great point, and I want to
point out how the left took over our education system.
It took over Hollywood, It's taken over our books, our movies,
everything about our culture, our churches, and members of my
generation felt like we were being choked by the Left
at every aspect, every angle of our lives. And yes,
(06:55):
it's that aspect of freedom under this administration that I'm
hearing that people say it feels okay to be proud
of this country again. Our education system around the age
of middle school high school for many of us, was
when DEI and critical race theory LGBTQ. That ideology was
infiltrated throughout our education, throughout our courses, throughout our admissions requirements,
(07:20):
throughout our graduation requirements. And as we've seen this administration
work to remove some of that DEI and as we've
seen more and more states past anti DEI legislation remove
some of that from the education system, that also adds
to some of the patriotism that I'm seeing. It feels
like it's okay to be proud of this country again.
Once we're removing that ideology that for so long taught
(07:42):
members of gen Z that we had to be shameful
of this country.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, it's interesting too because I think retailers of you know,
and marketers have started to understand this too, that everything
didn't need to be a rainbow, that it was okay
to do the red, white and blue, and and that
people gravitate that. I see people working out walking around
in different parts of the country wearing a shirt that
(08:07):
says USA or red, white and blue. And we're not
even to July fourth yet, which is great that it
should just happen on fourth of July or Flag Day
or Memorial Day, you know, I would hope that would
permeate above and beyond just a particular day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
What certainly is And for young women like myself, we've
been sporting American flag sweaters this whole summer on TikTok.
That is the fashion trend of the summer for young women.
It's so exciting to see. And then on the other hand,
with young men, we've seen this military recruitment boom. It's
been so exciting. After Trump was elected in the November election,
(08:48):
just within that next month, we saw ten thousand new
recruits in the army. It's so exciting to see. And
I talked to one young man recently who said that
he plans to join the military because he said there's
no better commander in chief to join under then President Trump. Again,
that young man brought up the removal of DEI, embracing war, fighting,
(09:11):
embracing strength. It feels like America has its backbone again.
And so I heard that from that young man man,
and I've heard that throughout my generation. Once again, that
goes right back to the renewal on patriotism.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, and it's also this you know, toxic masculinity. You
hear that tossed around, and it's okay for like men
to be men and you know, instead of having to
show a real feminine side of things. You know, I
think there's this you know there, and it happened in
Hollywood too, to surprise, you know, look at Top Gun, Maverick. People,
(09:49):
I think went to that and saw that in mass
it was one of the most popular movies, certainly a
box office box office success where people thought, oh my gosh,
we like Tom Cruise in that role fighting for his
country and doing something dynamic and exciting and loving his
country all at the same time. Imagine that what a formula.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Imagine that and it just goes to show how comical
the left's twenty million dollar campaign to try to win
over young men. That campaign is just comical because the
Left has been unwilling to talk to young men for
so many years and instead has fed this narrative that
(10:33):
masculinity is toxic, and then they act surprise when young
men turn their backs on that ideology. Guess what young
men believe in common sense? Young men turned their backs
to chaos, chaotic gender ideology, chaotic open borders, a chaotic
economy under the previous administration. It's really not shocking at
(10:54):
all when you think about those things.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, you know it's Tim Walls that was going to
be the Democrats and or to masculine men, and you
write this twenty million dollars, twenty million dollars the Democrats
were going to spend to try to figure out how
to communicate with men, and that that is just almost
it's just not natural. But what's not natural, I think
(11:17):
is taking men and injecting them into to women's sports.
I mean, they went through that whole gyration, and look,
I to continue to have that debate and fight so
hard and then the other thing is to fight so
hard for people who are committing crimes, who are here illegally,
as opposed to taking the side of victims. Again, this
(11:40):
is kind of piling on, but I think all these
factors continue to add up in favor of the good
old fashioned red, white and blue.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It certainly is, And as a reporter who's focused on
the education system, I have seen this firsthand. I've seen bathrooms,
locker rooms, safe spaces, sorority houses on college campuses become
infiltrated with men. Women's safety, women's privacy is being overlooked
by university administrations throughout this country. And finally we have
(12:12):
a presidential administration who's even willing to look into these
issues and look into these specific situations. For example, the
University of Wyoming that was the first university to allow
a man into a sorority back in twenty twenty three.
The Biden administration looks the other way. And now we
have a presidential administration that is looking into this and
(12:35):
instead of a Pride Month, this administration looked at June
as titled nine Months and spoke directly to those young
women in that sorority at the University of Wyoming, are
talking to them about their situation and fighting for them.
It feels great to have an administration fighting for common
sense and common good.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Well, Emily Sturge, I hope you have a wonderful fourth
of July. You're working with Campus Ree do some great work,
great reporting. We love having you on Fox across America. So,
Emily Search, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you
so much for having me. Jason, all right, everybody stay
with us. We're going to be right back. If you're
(13:14):
listening to them, did you talk about I mean, as
the Senate bill stands, if you assume there's no changes,
which is what they're saying, is that something you think
you could pass.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We're going to pass this use we want to do
it the other and I have prevailed a time my
state crown leagues to please please please, but it is
close to the house products possible of this, very consistent
from the three beginning, and we continue to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So there's still a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Of amendments and a lot of a lot of game
to play yet, and we're hopeful.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Do you need change it? Like, will you change it?
If they don't change.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It, we'll see what final product is. I'm very hopeful
and optimistic. As always, we will deliver. We will get
this job done. We'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That is Speaker Johnson. Now in context, that was Speaker
Johnson before the Senate did pass a substitute amendment and
passed the bill. So earlier today, the big beautiful bill
passed the Senate. You had jd. Vance, the Vice President
cast as the President of the Senate, cast the deciding
vote at fifty and you had Senator Tillis from North Carolina.
(14:23):
You had Senator Collins from Maine, and you had Senator
Ran Paul from Kentucky vote against it. Lisa Murkowski, who
was long thought to be a no out of the
state of Alaska, she voted in favor of it. So
she voted in favor of bringing the bill up for discussion,
but then also did vote for final passage, which surprised
(14:45):
a lot of people, including myself. So that now puts
it into the House's seat. Now they have a two
step process in the House. The first is they've got
to pass a rule bill. Now the rule bill is
going to be such that they're not going to want
to I have many amendment votes, if any you know,
in an ideal world, leadership just gets to bring whatever
(15:06):
the Senate passed up for a vote, but I don't
know that they have the votes to do that. They
may want to have some amendment votes. Now this gets
to be really, really tricky, particularly for Tom Emmer, who's
the is the whip. He's been the whip in the past,
I should say, and the whip has got to figure
(15:29):
out that's their job. Between the majority leader, the Speaker
and the whip. Can they bring this vote up and
if they change it and then they pass it, then
it goes back to the Senate. You could play ping
pong like that or back and forth for a long time.
But the President, I think, just wants to see the
bill pass. Now there is a lot of discussion about
(15:53):
well what about this or what about that? You know,
when you bring it up one big beautiful bill and
it has to pass. They're committed to making a pass.
Not everybody's going to get what they want. Is this
is the challenge for Republicans. Democrats are really good at
just lining up by lemon lemon like lemmings and just
doing whatever the leadership tells them to do. Republicans by
(16:16):
nature and they're very DNA. They're independent thinkers. They want
to have it their own way, but you got to
also recognize and come into balance here that the idea
that hey, this is a team sport folks and there founders, Yeah,
they wanted it to be contentious, but at some point
you got to come together on something. And that's what
(16:36):
makes it difficult, because if you wanted a glide path
to make this as easy and smooth and quick as possible,
that's not what our founders in vision are founders in
vision that there would be a lot of debate, there
would be a lot of discussion. But there comes a
time right the year before the fourth of July, where yeah,
you're not going to get everything you're going to want
(16:57):
in that bill. But do you vote no or do
you vote yes? You got three options as a member
of Congress. You can vote present. Hey I was there
and I watched it, which is kind of a chicken
way to go. Or you can vote for it, or
you can vote against it. And this is where you
have to weigh. It's never a single subject clean bill
like it probably should be. But the process of reconciliation
(17:18):
to bring together the Senate and the House together, oh
that is a tough one. And so you have to
look deep and hard. I personally think there's a lot
more good than there is bad, and this is a
step forward. It's not the only thing that can ever pass.
But boy, if you don't do it, vote with the Democrats, yikes.
If you're gonna have one of the biggest text increases ever,
(17:40):
that's not something I would want to do. I'm Jason.
Jfit's filling it for Jimmy family. I stay with us.
We got more if it's filling it for Jimmy, and
Jimmy's really going to regret this because we have livened
up this program if we can change that shot. Because
joining us in Studa Studio is Deborah Lea, who is
(18:02):
just a delight to talk to you. Last time, I
guess toasted you were here, Madam Mayor, I should probably
call you because you grew up in the city. You
know you'd actually like to be mayor at some point.
Right absolutely, But there's some craziness happening right now.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I think it's paving the way for me. It is
God's plan.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're young, but you're determined, like you're totally focused on
what you want to do.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
The Republican Party has like dissipated in the last few years,
and I just don't think it's good for Republicans to
pick up and leave from any state that we're in.
It's not it's not going to help move the country along,
to continue to create these red and blue zones that
are so divided. I think we need to stay, we
need to fight, and we need to tell people it's normal.
People think differently.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You don't have to cry about it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yes, that's right. You look, you made a really good
point last time, and I'm sure it's even more true
now with this mom Donnie who's come on to the scene.
The guy is like personifying the crazy radical left. Is
this socialist kind of Marxist type of attitude that is
really toxic. And some people say, oh, well, let New
(19:05):
York just live like that and they'll see how bad
it is. But others like Charlie Kirker out there saying, no,
let's go fight for it because it's worth fighting for.
Where do you come in on this.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I'm definitely on the first side of things where I
think we need to fight for or sorry, on the
Charlie Kirk side of things, or I want to fight
for my city. But I also think that people need
to recognize no offense to people in Ohio or anywhere else.
This is not a small town that, oh, we can
just leave it alone. You know, who cares about New
York City. This is the biggest, most diverse city in
the entire country. This is the business hope, the New
York Stock Exchange. Like everything happens in New York City.
(19:37):
It's representative of how healthy the country is, I think,
And so I think it's not smart to just pick
up and leave. And how much confidence that say in
our abilities and our platforms if we don't think that
they're reasonable enough for everyday people to accept them. We
know that the left platforms are outrageous, and the average
normal human being should like the Republican policies more than
the Democratic policies. So we just need to do better
(19:57):
at messaging and make it more digestible for the average
New Yorker, which I think we can do.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, you know, bothered me they meet the press. I think. Actually,
Christian Welker did a decent job of drawing out how
radical he is in wanting to target white neighborhoods, about
wanting to have government run grocery stores, about you know,
not being able to call out the anti Semitism and
calling for a worldwide intifada. She did, I thought a
(20:25):
decent job of drawing that out. What I didn't like
about it is they didn't let like Eric Adams or
somebody else who is a little bit more reasonable, also
have a platform to talk about things.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
It's pretty crazy that we might have our first independent mayor.
I don't know if an independent has ever won any
major election in this country, but this would definitely be
a change in her tides and I'm hopeful that he could,
you know, kind of change history with this because it's
our only option. But if I could just hit a
button and reset every single candidate in the New York
mayoral election, I would have gladly done that a few
months ago because it's just unfair, and we've seen this
(20:59):
with poulge takes across the board.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm young.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I still have a belief of the krem Dela crop
should be representing us in the society, the best, the brightest,
most accomplished, and we keep going for these like low
level people like Mom Donnie who have no experience. They
have really just no experience in business and running a company,
in leadership in legislation and anything that it requires to
be a leader of a major group of people, just
to be a leader period. And so I don't understand
(21:22):
why we keep nominating these people who are just like
the worst of society.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Like Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Oh my god, even hearing his name for the last
couple of months, I was like nauseus every time I
would see his ads on Hulu. I'm like, almost paid
for a subscription. But if she couldn't get me to
pay for a subscription, then Cuomo can't either.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well that was part of what I saw, you know,
from Afar. I don't live in New York, but as
I saw it, I thought, Andrew Croomo, I mean, could
there be a worst candidate with such a bad brand?
I mean, Cuomo used to be the ticket to the show.
Just because you are a Cuomo, you had this credibility.
But Andrew Cuomo, I mean, did did Mondamie sneak through
(22:02):
this or prevail just because Cuomo is bad? Or because
the radical left is really getting more and more organized.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I think it's a mix of both, and I think
it's time that conservatives recognize that it's not just Oh,
they had a great social media campaign which mom Nani did.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He had a great campaign.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Objectively, like we could say Obama was a great politician
in the sense.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Of he lied straight through his teeth and passed.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Agendas that no Americans wanted to see pass like the
Ran nuclear deal. But specifically if Momdanni, he did run
a great campaign. He was very gen Z talking keywords.
He got that famous model Emily rad Jakowski to get
behind him.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
The celebrity the podcast election. It worked for.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Trump, which shows that is the way to reach gen
Z and like the new voter block in America that
are showing up to the polls and crazy numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But at the same time.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I don't understand why the left or the Democratic Party
thought Cuomo was gonna get any votes. This guy was
a disgraced governor. Kathy Hochel, our current governor, was only
governor because he had to step down for nursing, being
a serial killer with nursing homes, horrible policies, and many
sexual assault allegations against him. I don't think they're allegations
anymore because they were settled with the Department of Justice,
(23:09):
and he settled with them, so I think at that
point you can.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Say he committed the crime.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Yeah, but allegedly for all legal purposes over here, for
tectus from lawsuits. I can't believe that they wouldn't run
somebody better than him, and then they think New Yorkers
would just forget. We're still living in Cuomo times. The
bail policies that we have, that's all Cuomo. That was
Cuomo's fault. The reason that criminals can just walk away.
Those illegal immigrants who beat up police officers, police chiefs,
(23:33):
they just walked.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That was Cuomo.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And so for him to think that we're just going
to forget about that, like we're goldfish.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We hit our head on the glass. Oh who is
this guy?
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Some people were like that, that's how we got thirty
percent of the Democratic vote. But I can't believe. What
do you think, Why didn't they put somebody better than that?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't have anybody I think. Well, Look, money is
part of it. Name idea is hard. You get a
big media market, it's hard to buy your way into it. Yeah,
you have to come up with something creative. I think
celebrity does bring that because it brings the eye balls
and social media people have to be more savvy and
how they do that, And I think conservatives or Republicans say, oh,
(24:09):
it's New York City. But I mean, look how well
Lee Zelden did. Look how well you know Donald Trump
did in this state. The surge in the trajectory was
moving in the right direction. But you it's like Margaret Thatcher, right,
she once said first she got to win the argument,
then you go win the vote. And the Republicans and
(24:30):
conservatives in this town, you're an exception to this. They've
got to be able to articulate issue by issue on
why you be better off with the conservative as opposed
to this radical left. Oh, we're just going to start
buying up the private property, make it all public. We're
going to go out there and have these grocery stores
that are run by government. Where is that ever worked?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Never ever? And they say, oh, it's not like Cuba.
Oh it's not like Venezuela. We're going to do it
differently out here. It does not work, ever worked. We
believe in capitalism, especially in New York City. Starting a
bus because absolutely, that's why I don't want him. He
doesn't represent Mam Donnie Zoron Mam Donnie does not represent.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
A shred of values in New York City.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
We believe in hard work, We believe in family values,
we believe in independence. You know, you can choose to
send your kid to a private school. You can send
them to a public school. It's your life to live
in New York City and make something of yourself. They say,
if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
If you cannot afford to live in New York City,
truly working jobs, roommates whatever, there's always a way to
make it work, get four roommates, whatever it is. But
if you truly can't, why do we have to build
(25:33):
social housing for you to live here? There are plenty
other states in the United States of America, much warmer
states too, where people probably won't die in the winter
being cold on the streets, where you can live or
build them in the suburbs.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Why does it have to be in Manhattan, in New
York City?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Why can it not be like, I don't know, Upstate
New York's places like yeah, Syracuse, who's freezing gold places.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
The city is for hustlers.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
The city is for people who are electrically entrepreneurs, who
want to make something of themselves. And we don't need
to create room for people who don't share that value.
That's why you move to New York City, and that's that.
But as you said earlier, I think that this is
a challenging point that we're at where people hear buzzwords
and then they just get turned off. So if we're
campaigning against Mom Donnie, he's a socialist, he's anti American,
(26:16):
he hates cops, the lefts, the leftists, and like the
Democrats in New York just here, conservatives don't like him.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Okay, he must be good.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
And it's really complicated to break through that nuance now
because we treated nuance for clicks and that's just where
we're at right now. But said this with Jimmy last time.
If he does, when I had my numbers off the
last time with my age, but I think it'll be
the greatest comeback ever. It'll be the Obama to the
next Trump, whoever will be mayor in New York City,
and I'll be twenty nine. And then I said it
was going to be twenty seven last time, but I'll
(26:44):
actually be twenty nine after.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
The math wrong, And I think.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
That could be the way if the city really goes
so downhill and it's horrible that will be like the
Giuliani two point zero post nine to eleven revival of
New York City. But I don't want to see that.
I would much rather not see that. I don't want
crime to go up. There was like a shooting a
few days ago at Pride. Two days ago, two girls
under seventeen years old were shot in the face. That's
not normal to hear about in this city. Like it's NonStop.
(27:10):
There's always violent crimes, and it makes you scared to
go out. I don't want that. I want people arrested,
and I think normal people do too.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I being pro law enforcement should not be a radical
idea that this anti ice sentiment that is out there.
I mean there's even this app out there that kind
of warns you when ice is in town. What do
you think of that?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I think that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And I don't understand how our government is not shutting
that down because there was is Apple.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let it be out there exactly platform or.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Like the Internet.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
There was an ex account that was docksing ice workers
a few weeks ago in California where.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They lived and stuff.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Ice workers are normal Americans who are just working a
job like me. And you know, they're regular civilians, and
I feel really bad for them, honestly that the entire country,
not the entire country, the craziest in this country suddenly
are treating them like they're modern day Naziss, like that
when they're enforcing the laws of this country. If you
don't like the laws of this country, you can book
a flight out of it.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
This is not North Korea.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
There's an app for that, it's called Expedia.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You can leave this country if you want. And so
people that want to come here and change the laws,
they just don't understand the Mom Donnie is no different
than Rashida to leave. I've been able to vote. I'm
twenty five years old. I've been illegally able to vote
longer than Mom Donnie has been a citizen. So how
can he now be the mayor of New York. There
are so many laws in this country, on Senate, on
House Republicans, how long you have to be here before
(28:30):
you can be a citizen, before you could run. I
don't understand how we don't have that for mayor of
one of the largest cities. And maybe the New York
State legislature if it wasn't so literally extreme ast left,
maybe they could pass something to protect that. But the
thing that Mom Donnie's all the platforms that Mom Donnie
represents have been in the New York state legislature for
a couple of years now. It really has shifted, and
he does represent a large swath of radical New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, so this latest video that I saw of him,
he's trying to eat his food with his hands and
try to be like, oh, I don't need a fork
because that's how I as a But he grew up
in a household that was far different than that. It's
not as if he came from you know, this is
how he's always eaten. It just looks so canned to me,
(29:14):
so fake. It just I don't know, maybe other people
saw it that way. I know there are people that's
the way they eat, But when he was trying to
do the rice with his hand, it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yeah, the listeners, if you're listening, you should know it
was a Chipote label with sour cream.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It was not like a case idea.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
It was fully a Chipote label with sour cream. I
don't know, everyone takes like twenty forks from what I
see every time they go to Chipotle, So him not
taking any fork, like that's just weird and gross. He's
digging his hands in and like smushing. That was just
I don't understand that. That's a little nauseating to me,
But real New Yorkers know who eats in public like that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He was faking it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
He also ate on the subway, and everyone was commenting,
like New Yorkers think it's disgusting and annoying when people
eat smelly food on this that way, like you're pretending
you're such a New Yorker. You're opening up god knows what.
Fish on the subway like that's a hate crime.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I go on airplanes a lot, and there was this
video I saw on Instagram where somebody decided to open
a packet of tuna fish like okay, I can't move,
you're sitting in the middle seat. And I just felt
for this video, like that poor person.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I would personally sue.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Tuna fish just permeates this.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
It's bad enough when you have like the babies on
the airplane and they're making their spice.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They can't help it, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Then it's like okay, it smells, but like whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So when I was in Congress, I'd fly back and
forth a lot from Utah. It's DC, DC back to Utah.
And one time I was all dressed up. They couldn't
help it. I was in a tie. I usually dressed
down just because it's a flight. I want to be comfortable.
But I'm sitting in with economy, yes, and I was
in economy. I was sitting in the window seat and
I am like, got my headphones on, my eyes are closed,
(30:59):
just trying to chill out, and all of a sudden,
I just this woman next to me had in the
middle seat. She had decided that she wanted to put
on some hand lotion, and she had this bottle and
she opened up the bottle and the pressure just exploded
on me. Oh nice, God, my nice suit and everything.
She's trying to wipe it off of me, and I'm
(31:20):
just like, just leave me alone, Like it was so gross.
At least it was just hand lotion. It wasn't tuna fish. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I know. If it was tuna fish again, I would
sue because that would be traumatizing. But that's still pretty traumatic.
I once I probably shouldn't admit this to people at home,
but I went to one movie my whole life I
went alone. I really wanted to see Wicket. All my
friends had already seen. It's three hours, like we're not
sitting through it again. She's like, okay, I'm an adult.
It's assigned seats like there was only singular since us.
(31:46):
I'll go alone. Let me get some popcorn. Let me
treat myself. I never get butter on my popcorn. Ever,
it's like an extra hunt, like five thousand calories. I'm like, okay,
a little sprinkle of butter. Walking to my seat and
it's one of those reclining seats.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I trip.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
My popcorn flies in the air. Buttered well like a
blanket covers the guy next to me, who I had to.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Sit next to for three hours.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
And I feel that woman because I start picking the
popcorn off him. I felt like one of those like
mothers in the wilderness eating the bugs off their kid.
I felt so bad, and it was hot butter all
over him, so bless that woman's heart.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I hope you got a dry.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Clean that poor guy. He just well, I don't know
what that single do is going to watch give us
with his parents? Wicked? Okay, yeah, okay, whatever, that's pretty funny. Listen,
I could chat with you for a long time. I
love your perspective, love your energy. We need more of
that in this country, especially you know, younger generation stepping
(32:40):
up and doing things. So I love your perspectives. So
thank you so much for joining us. Deborah Leah, how
do we find you? Like you're on Twitter?
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I'm on Twitter, I'm on Instagram, not really on TikTok
so much these days, mostly Instagram.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And but it's the Deborah Leah, yes right, d.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
E B r A because I'm young.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
And then you got it, it's the the sorry, the
regular one was taken. I tried pursuing this woman. She
had posted since two thousand old.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well I like that people remember THEE now that we
say it and highlighted like I had Jason Chafitz and
what was I gonna? It was available, but I went
with Jason in the house because nobody was going to
spell Chafits. I like that one, the Debra and you
can get through LEA L E A. That's easy enough.
Thank you so much for joining us on Fox across America.
I hope he cross pads again, and maybe maybe Jimmy'll
(33:30):
show up one of these times that you show up.
So thank you you can't.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I don't look like Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No, just step up. That's a good way to get
the latter part of our show. Thanks for joining us.
We'll be right back. Stay with us. It's America's number
one radio lunch day. Just get your hands out of
my fry. Well, thanks so much for joining us on
Fox across America. I'm Jason Chafit's filling in for Jimmy.
Like said, he's out on the West Coast with the
(33:54):
family doing a little rest and relaxation. I hope you
enjoy the fourth of July. I have how did it
the whole time, and I appreciate and letting me pimp
my book. They're coming for you. They are coming for
you audiobook, hard copy book. It is literally day one
of the lunch so hope you have a chance to
check that out if you want to see how data
(34:15):
is being manipulated, sold, bought by your government, how their
left is using it to come after you and your
family push you out of the economy. It's a little
bit of a scary read, but boy, if you're not
aware of it, you'll never be able to fight against it.
Let alone be part of that coalition to help change it,
and boy, if you're not aware of it, I think
(34:37):
you'd be shocked by some of the things that happen there.
So they're coming for you. It's out today, and I
appreciate your consideration. There Again, probably the most important thing
I can leave you with here is well, First of all,
thanks to Jimmy and his team. They always put together
good fun show with great guests. I love them. They
make things so easy. But I also want people to
(34:58):
understand that, you know, state, it's America. It's the greatest
country on the face of the planet. We really have
the best country. And I hope you can wear the red,
white and blue, put that flag out in front, enjoy
the country, love the country. Hopefully you get some nice,
good sunny weather, maybe some beach weather. Maybe it's pouring
rain in a thunderstorm. I don't know, but this country,
(35:21):
a lot of people have sacrificed to make sure that
you've got the freedoms and the liberties and the peace
and the safety and the security. Let's keep fighting for it, America.
I really do enjoy it. Thanks Jimmy, enjoy your time
away and look forward to having Jimmy back soon. Until then,
I'm Jason Chafitz for Fox Across America. I have a
(35:43):
great one.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
This has been a podcast from wor
This is a podcast from wo R from Everywhere USA.
It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Baala Hey, it's actually
Jason chap It's filling in for Jimmy today. We got
a great hour coming up. I really do appreciate you
joining us. I think you're gonna have fun. I think
all the kids are gonna like it. You know, Jimmy's
(00:26):
got these cool buttons. I'm just not really adept at
hitting these buttons to make all these sound effects. Sorry
for the delay there, but he's there's nothing like Jimmy.
But you know what, he's out west. He's taken a
little R and R with his family, and good for him.
And I hope you're going to enjoy the holiday because
fourth of July it's one of the best two hundred
(00:47):
and forty nine years folks. Next year two hundred and
fifty woah, now that's gonna be a good one. Also,
want to highlight my book, They're Coming for you. It's
out today. Today is day one. This is my fifth book,
four hundred and fifty footnotes. This is about how deep
state spies, NGOs, and woke corporations plan to push you
(01:09):
out of the economy. Folks, if you don't understand how
they're using data and manipulating it, how they're They're not
just gonna let people like you know, maybe our conservatives
support Donald Trump, people that you know, maybe bought a gun,
maybe bought a Maga hat, maybe shopped at Cabella's or
something place like that. You think they're just gonna let
them live their life without no no, no, without disruption. No,
(01:32):
They're gonna put social credit scores on you. They're gonna
do dbanking as they have. They're gonna affect elections with
this data. They're using data more than you can imagine.
And it's not just Hey, I was talking to somebody
about buying a couch and all of a sudden, all
the ads on my phone starts showing up. Were for couches.
(01:52):
It's much more nefarious than that. It affects healthcare, it
affects voting, it affects lots of things. And that's what
I wrote this book. They're coming for you. It's out now.
I did the audio so you can listen to my
voice read it, or you have the hard copy in
the books, and today is day one. It's available for sale,
so I encourage you. I wrote it for a reason
(02:13):
because I want everybody to kind of see what I'm seeing,
which is the deep state in action and these NGOs
and they're woke agenda. They may have Donald Trump in office,
but you know what, they're still working at it, and
they're going to come for you and they're going to
get you if you're not paying attention. So that's why
this book's out and I hope you enjoy it. I
(02:34):
think it'll do quite well. All right, we are jumping
into things now because we have Emily Sturge joining us.
She's from Campcer Campus Reform, a reporter for Campus Reform
and there she is up on the screen if you're
watching on Fox Nation. But thanks so much for joining
us on Fox across America. Emily appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Hey, Jason, I'm so excited to be here. And congratulations
on the new book.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, thank you, thank you very much. You know, we've
talked about the fourth of July. It's like one of
my favorites. You know, whether you're at the beach, or
you're up in the mountains, or just at home, or
maybe you're at work. You're one of those people that
are working. You know, it's still just the greatest country
on the face of the planet. And what's really interesting
is to me is to watch and see the surge
(03:22):
of patriotism. Is it going up? Is it going down?
Is it? And tell me about younger people, because there
seems to be a refreshing surge of patriotism with younger people,
which is great to.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
See there certainly is I.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Generation Z is very excited this week to party like
some patriots. The fourth of July is such an exciting
time to celebrate America's independence. And as a reporter for
the leadership and Stu's campus Reform, I'm talking to Generation
Z every single day I'm on the ground, and just
within the past week, I have talked to dozens of
my peers and ask them if they've noticed this renewed
(03:58):
sense of patriotism, and so many of them excitedly said yes.
I heard from members of my generation say that it
feels like it's okay to be patriotic again. They said,
it feels like it's okay to be Christian again. And
I'm noticing this revival in conservatism, this revival in faith,
and this revival certainly in patriotism amongst so many members
(04:21):
of my generation it's certainly so exciting to see.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, what do you attribute that to? I mean, I
think it's great. You know, people waving the flag feeling
good about their country, which I hope has also means
they're feeling good about themselves. They feel good if they
see a law enforcement officer or maybe somebody in the military.
But that's all good. But why, Like, I'm glad it's there,
I just don't know exactly why.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, their optimism for this country certainly goes hand in
hand with their optimism for this presidential administration. And CBS
actually did a poll earlier this year where they asked
members from all of the generations their optimism levels under
this administer and believe it or not, the generation that
was the most optimistic was Generation Z. Sixty seven percent
(05:07):
of eighteen twenty nine year old said that they were
hopeful of the things that they would see under this administration.
And I've talked to so many members of Gen Z
who consistently bring up the economy. They want to see
the American dream, they want to see houses become more affordable,
they want to see the ability for them to get
good jobs after college graduation, and so many of my
(05:27):
peers believe that the Trump administration is going to make
that easier. I really think that that's driving that optimism level.
But I do want to point out I've seen both
my peers on the left and the right have this
renewed sense of patriotism. I don't think it's necessarily partisan.
I think patriotism should be bipartisan, and it does go
hand in hand with the Trump administration, but I do
(05:49):
certainly see it on the left side.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So I have a little bit of a theory here,
and part of that is that younger generation boy right
at the heart of when they were reaching adulthood and
maybe in college or even high school, that's when COVID
hit right, and it was so restrictive and you couldn't socialize,
you couldn't do all those things that normally teenagers do.
(06:12):
And so this freedom, they start to appreciate it more
when there aren't the restrictions that having to wear masks
and you can't go to class, and you can't do this,
and you can't do that. And so all of a sudden,
Donald Trump's here and people are feeling more free. More
freedom equals more patriotism. Would I be wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
No, that's certainly a great point, and I want to
point out how the left took over our education system.
It took over Hollywood, It's taken over our books, our movies,
everything about our culture, our churches, and members of my
generation felt like we were being choked by the Left
at every aspect, every angle of our lives. And yes,
(06:55):
it's that aspect of freedom under this administration that I'm
hearing that people say it feels okay to be proud
of this country again. Our education system around the age
of middle school high school for many of us, was
when DEI and critical race theory LGBTQ. That ideology was
infiltrated throughout our education, throughout our courses, throughout our admissions requirements,
(07:20):
throughout our graduation requirements. And as we've seen this administration
work to remove some of that DEI and as we've
seen more and more states past anti DEI legislation remove
some of that from the education system, that also adds
to some of the patriotism that I'm seeing. It feels
like it's okay to be proud of this country again.
Once we're removing that ideology that for so long taught
(07:42):
members of gen Z that we had to be shameful
of this country.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, it's interesting too because I think retailers of you know,
and marketers have started to understand this too, that everything
didn't need to be a rainbow, that it was okay
to do the red, white and blue, and and that
people gravitate that. I see people working out walking around
in different parts of the country wearing a shirt that
(08:07):
says USA or red, white and blue. And we're not
even to July fourth yet, which is great that it
should just happen on fourth of July or Flag Day
or Memorial Day, you know, I would hope that would
permeate above and beyond just a particular day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
What certainly is And for young women like myself, we've
been sporting American flag sweaters this whole summer on TikTok.
That is the fashion trend of the summer for young women.
It's so exciting to see. And then on the other hand,
with young men, we've seen this military recruitment boom. It's
been so exciting. After Trump was elected in the November election,
(08:48):
just within that next month, we saw ten thousand new
recruits in the army. It's so exciting to see. And
I talked to one young man recently who said that
he plans to join the military because he said there's
no better commander in chief to join under then President Trump. Again,
that young man brought up the removal of DEI, embracing war, fighting,
(09:11):
embracing strength. It feels like America has its backbone again.
And so I heard that from that young man man,
and I've heard that throughout my generation. Once again, that
goes right back to the renewal on patriotism.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, and it's also this you know, toxic masculinity. You
hear that tossed around, and it's okay for like men
to be men and you know, instead of having to
show a real feminine side of things. You know, I
think there's this you know there, and it happened in
Hollywood too, to surprise, you know, look at Top Gun, Maverick. People,
(09:49):
I think went to that and saw that in mass
it was one of the most popular movies, certainly a
box office box office success where people thought, oh my gosh,
we like Tom Cruise in that role fighting for his
country and doing something dynamic and exciting and loving his
country all at the same time. Imagine that what a formula.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Imagine that and it just goes to show how comical
the left's twenty million dollar campaign to try to win
over young men. That campaign is just comical because the
Left has been unwilling to talk to young men for
so many years and instead has fed this narrative that
(10:33):
masculinity is toxic, and then they act surprise when young
men turn their backs on that ideology. Guess what young
men believe in common sense? Young men turned their backs
to chaos, chaotic gender ideology, chaotic open borders, a chaotic
economy under the previous administration. It's really not shocking at
(10:54):
all when you think about those things.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, you know it's Tim Walls that was going to
be the Democrats and or to masculine men, and you
write this twenty million dollars, twenty million dollars the Democrats
were going to spend to try to figure out how
to communicate with men, and that that is just almost
it's just not natural. But what's not natural, I think
(11:17):
is taking men and injecting them into to women's sports.
I mean, they went through that whole gyration, and look,
I to continue to have that debate and fight so
hard and then the other thing is to fight so
hard for people who are committing crimes, who are here illegally,
as opposed to taking the side of victims. Again, this
(11:40):
is kind of piling on, but I think all these
factors continue to add up in favor of the good
old fashioned red, white and blue.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It certainly is, And as a reporter who's focused on
the education system, I have seen this firsthand. I've seen bathrooms,
locker rooms, safe spaces, sorority houses on college campuses become
infiltrated with men. Women's safety, women's privacy is being overlooked
by university administrations throughout this country. And finally we have
(12:12):
a presidential administration who's even willing to look into these
issues and look into these specific situations. For example, the
University of Wyoming that was the first university to allow
a man into a sorority back in twenty twenty three.
The Biden administration looks the other way. And now we
have a presidential administration that is looking into this and
(12:35):
instead of a Pride Month, this administration looked at June
as titled nine Months and spoke directly to those young
women in that sorority at the University of Wyoming, are
talking to them about their situation and fighting for them.
It feels great to have an administration fighting for common
sense and common good.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Well, Emily Sturge, I hope you have a wonderful fourth
of July. You're working with Campus Ree do some great work,
great reporting. We love having you on Fox across America. So,
Emily Search, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you
so much for having me. Jason, all right, everybody stay
with us. We're going to be right back. If you're
(13:14):
listening to them, did you talk about I mean, as
the Senate bill stands, if you assume there's no changes,
which is what they're saying, is that something you think
you could pass.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We're going to pass this use we want to do
it the other and I have prevailed a time my
state crown leagues to please please please, but it is
close to the house products possible of this, very consistent
from the three beginning, and we continue to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So there's still a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Of amendments and a lot of a lot of game
to play yet, and we're hopeful.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Do you need change it? Like, will you change it?
If they don't change.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It, we'll see what final product is. I'm very hopeful
and optimistic. As always, we will deliver. We will get
this job done. We'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That is Speaker Johnson. Now in context, that was Speaker
Johnson before the Senate did pass a substitute amendment and
passed the bill. So earlier today, the big beautiful bill
passed the Senate. You had jd. Vance, the Vice President
cast as the President of the Senate, cast the deciding
vote at fifty and you had Senator Tillis from North Carolina.
(14:23):
You had Senator Collins from Maine, and you had Senator
Ran Paul from Kentucky vote against it. Lisa Murkowski, who
was long thought to be a no out of the
state of Alaska, she voted in favor of it. So
she voted in favor of bringing the bill up for discussion,
but then also did vote for final passage, which surprised
(14:45):
a lot of people, including myself. So that now puts
it into the House's seat. Now they have a two
step process in the House. The first is they've got
to pass a rule bill. Now the rule bill is
going to be such that they're not going to want
to I have many amendment votes, if any you know,
in an ideal world, leadership just gets to bring whatever
(15:06):
the Senate passed up for a vote, but I don't
know that they have the votes to do that. They
may want to have some amendment votes. Now this gets
to be really, really tricky, particularly for Tom Emmer, who's
the is the whip. He's been the whip in the past,
I should say, and the whip has got to figure
(15:29):
out that's their job. Between the majority leader, the Speaker
and the whip. Can they bring this vote up and
if they change it and then they pass it, then
it goes back to the Senate. You could play ping
pong like that or back and forth for a long time.
But the President, I think, just wants to see the
bill pass. Now there is a lot of discussion about
(15:53):
well what about this or what about that? You know,
when you bring it up one big beautiful bill and
it has to pass. They're committed to making a pass.
Not everybody's going to get what they want. Is this
is the challenge for Republicans. Democrats are really good at
just lining up by lemon lemon like lemmings and just
doing whatever the leadership tells them to do. Republicans by
(16:16):
nature and they're very DNA. They're independent thinkers. They want
to have it their own way, but you got to
also recognize and come into balance here that the idea
that hey, this is a team sport folks and there founders, Yeah,
they wanted it to be contentious, but at some point
you got to come together on something. And that's what
(16:36):
makes it difficult, because if you wanted a glide path
to make this as easy and smooth and quick as possible,
that's not what our founders in vision are founders in
vision that there would be a lot of debate, there
would be a lot of discussion. But there comes a
time right the year before the fourth of July, where yeah,
you're not going to get everything you're going to want
(16:57):
in that bill. But do you vote no or do
you vote yes? You got three options as a member
of Congress. You can vote present. Hey I was there
and I watched it, which is kind of a chicken
way to go. Or you can vote for it, or
you can vote against it. And this is where you
have to weigh. It's never a single subject clean bill
like it probably should be. But the process of reconciliation
(17:18):
to bring together the Senate and the House together, oh
that is a tough one. And so you have to
look deep and hard. I personally think there's a lot
more good than there is bad, and this is a
step forward. It's not the only thing that can ever pass.
But boy, if you don't do it, vote with the Democrats, yikes.
If you're gonna have one of the biggest text increases ever,
(17:40):
that's not something I would want to do. I'm Jason.
Jfit's filling it for Jimmy family. I stay with us.
We got more if it's filling it for Jimmy, and
Jimmy's really going to regret this because we have livened
up this program if we can change that shot. Because
joining us in Studa Studio is Deborah Lea, who is
(18:02):
just a delight to talk to you. Last time, I
guess toasted you were here, Madam Mayor, I should probably
call you because you grew up in the city. You
know you'd actually like to be mayor at some point.
Right absolutely, But there's some craziness happening right now.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I think it's paving the way for me. It is
God's plan.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're young, but you're determined, like you're totally focused on
what you want to do.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
The Republican Party has like dissipated in the last few years,
and I just don't think it's good for Republicans to
pick up and leave from any state that we're in.
It's not it's not going to help move the country along,
to continue to create these red and blue zones that
are so divided. I think we need to stay, we
need to fight, and we need to tell people it's normal.
People think differently.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You don't have to cry about it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yes, that's right. You look, you made a really good
point last time, and I'm sure it's even more true
now with this mom Donnie who's come on to the scene.
The guy is like personifying the crazy radical left. Is
this socialist kind of Marxist type of attitude that is
really toxic. And some people say, oh, well, let New
(19:05):
York just live like that and they'll see how bad
it is. But others like Charlie Kirker out there saying, no,
let's go fight for it because it's worth fighting for.
Where do you come in on this.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I'm definitely on the first side of things where I
think we need to fight for or sorry, on the
Charlie Kirk side of things, or I want to fight
for my city. But I also think that people need
to recognize no offense to people in Ohio or anywhere else.
This is not a small town that, oh, we can
just leave it alone. You know, who cares about New
York City. This is the biggest, most diverse city in
the entire country. This is the business hope, the New
York Stock Exchange. Like everything happens in New York City.
(19:37):
It's representative of how healthy the country is, I think,
And so I think it's not smart to just pick
up and leave. And how much confidence that say in
our abilities and our platforms if we don't think that
they're reasonable enough for everyday people to accept them. We
know that the left platforms are outrageous, and the average
normal human being should like the Republican policies more than
the Democratic policies. So we just need to do better
(19:57):
at messaging and make it more digestible for the average
New Yorker, which I think we can do.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, you know, bothered me they meet the press. I think. Actually,
Christian Welker did a decent job of drawing out how
radical he is in wanting to target white neighborhoods, about
wanting to have government run grocery stores, about you know,
not being able to call out the anti Semitism and
calling for a worldwide intifada. She did, I thought a
(20:25):
decent job of drawing that out. What I didn't like
about it is they didn't let like Eric Adams or
somebody else who is a little bit more reasonable, also
have a platform to talk about things.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
It's pretty crazy that we might have our first independent mayor.
I don't know if an independent has ever won any
major election in this country, but this would definitely be
a change in her tides and I'm hopeful that he could,
you know, kind of change history with this because it's
our only option. But if I could just hit a
button and reset every single candidate in the New York
mayoral election, I would have gladly done that a few
months ago because it's just unfair, and we've seen this
(20:59):
with poulge takes across the board.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm young.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I still have a belief of the krem Dela crop
should be representing us in the society, the best, the brightest,
most accomplished, and we keep going for these like low
level people like Mom Donnie who have no experience. They
have really just no experience in business and running a company,
in leadership in legislation and anything that it requires to
be a leader of a major group of people, just
to be a leader period. And so I don't understand
(21:22):
why we keep nominating these people who are just like
the worst of society.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Like Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Oh my god, even hearing his name for the last
couple of months, I was like nauseus every time I
would see his ads on Hulu. I'm like, almost paid
for a subscription. But if she couldn't get me to
pay for a subscription, then Cuomo can't either.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well that was part of what I saw, you know,
from Afar. I don't live in New York, but as
I saw it, I thought, Andrew Croomo, I mean, could
there be a worst candidate with such a bad brand?
I mean, Cuomo used to be the ticket to the show.
Just because you are a Cuomo, you had this credibility.
But Andrew Cuomo, I mean, did did Mondamie sneak through
(22:02):
this or prevail just because Cuomo is bad? Or because
the radical left is really getting more and more organized.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I think it's a mix of both, and I think
it's time that conservatives recognize that it's not just Oh,
they had a great social media campaign which mom Nani did.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He had a great campaign.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Objectively, like we could say Obama was a great politician
in the sense.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Of he lied straight through his teeth and passed.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Agendas that no Americans wanted to see pass like the
Ran nuclear deal. But specifically if Momdanni, he did run
a great campaign. He was very gen Z talking keywords.
He got that famous model Emily rad Jakowski to get
behind him.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
The celebrity the podcast election. It worked for.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Trump, which shows that is the way to reach gen
Z and like the new voter block in America that
are showing up to the polls and crazy numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But at the same time.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I don't understand why the left or the Democratic Party
thought Cuomo was gonna get any votes. This guy was
a disgraced governor. Kathy Hochel, our current governor, was only
governor because he had to step down for nursing, being
a serial killer with nursing homes, horrible policies, and many
sexual assault allegations against him. I don't think they're allegations
anymore because they were settled with the Department of Justice,
(23:09):
and he settled with them, so I think at that
point you can.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Say he committed the crime.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Yeah, but allegedly for all legal purposes over here, for
tectus from lawsuits. I can't believe that they wouldn't run
somebody better than him, and then they think New Yorkers
would just forget. We're still living in Cuomo times. The
bail policies that we have, that's all Cuomo. That was
Cuomo's fault. The reason that criminals can just walk away.
Those illegal immigrants who beat up police officers, police chiefs,
(23:33):
they just walked.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That was Cuomo.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And so for him to think that we're just going
to forget about that, like we're goldfish.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We hit our head on the glass. Oh who is
this guy?
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Some people were like that, that's how we got thirty
percent of the Democratic vote. But I can't believe. What
do you think, Why didn't they put somebody better than that?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't have anybody I think. Well, Look, money is
part of it. Name idea is hard. You get a
big media market, it's hard to buy your way into it. Yeah,
you have to come up with something creative. I think
celebrity does bring that because it brings the eye balls
and social media people have to be more savvy and
how they do that, And I think conservatives or Republicans say, oh,
(24:09):
it's New York City. But I mean, look how well
Lee Zelden did. Look how well you know Donald Trump
did in this state. The surge in the trajectory was
moving in the right direction. But you it's like Margaret Thatcher, right,
she once said first she got to win the argument,
then you go win the vote. And the Republicans and
(24:30):
conservatives in this town, you're an exception to this. They've
got to be able to articulate issue by issue on
why you be better off with the conservative as opposed
to this radical left. Oh, we're just going to start
buying up the private property, make it all public. We're
going to go out there and have these grocery stores
that are run by government. Where is that ever worked?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Never ever? And they say, oh, it's not like Cuba.
Oh it's not like Venezuela. We're going to do it
differently out here. It does not work, ever worked. We
believe in capitalism, especially in New York City. Starting a
bus because absolutely, that's why I don't want him. He
doesn't represent Mam Donnie Zoron Mam Donnie does not represent.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
A shred of values in New York City.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
We believe in hard work, We believe in family values,
we believe in independence. You know, you can choose to
send your kid to a private school. You can send
them to a public school. It's your life to live
in New York City and make something of yourself. They say,
if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
If you cannot afford to live in New York City,
truly working jobs, roommates whatever, there's always a way to
make it work, get four roommates, whatever it is. But
if you truly can't, why do we have to build
(25:33):
social housing for you to live here? There are plenty
other states in the United States of America, much warmer
states too, where people probably won't die in the winter
being cold on the streets, where you can live or
build them in the suburbs.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Why does it have to be in Manhattan, in New
York City?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Why can it not be like, I don't know, Upstate
New York's places like yeah, Syracuse, who's freezing gold places.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
The city is for hustlers.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
The city is for people who are electrically entrepreneurs, who
want to make something of themselves. And we don't need
to create room for people who don't share that value.
That's why you move to New York City, and that's that.
But as you said earlier, I think that this is
a challenging point that we're at where people hear buzzwords
and then they just get turned off. So if we're
campaigning against Mom Donnie, he's a socialist, he's anti American,
(26:16):
he hates cops, the lefts, the leftists, and like the
Democrats in New York just here, conservatives don't like him.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Okay, he must be good.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
And it's really complicated to break through that nuance now
because we treated nuance for clicks and that's just where
we're at right now. But said this with Jimmy last time.
If he does, when I had my numbers off the
last time with my age, but I think it'll be
the greatest comeback ever. It'll be the Obama to the
next Trump, whoever will be mayor in New York City,
and I'll be twenty nine. And then I said it
was going to be twenty seven last time, but I'll
(26:44):
actually be twenty nine after.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
The math wrong, And I think.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
That could be the way if the city really goes
so downhill and it's horrible that will be like the
Giuliani two point zero post nine to eleven revival of
New York City. But I don't want to see that.
I would much rather not see that. I don't want
crime to go up. There was like a shooting a
few days ago at Pride. Two days ago, two girls
under seventeen years old were shot in the face. That's
not normal to hear about in this city. Like it's NonStop.
(27:10):
There's always violent crimes, and it makes you scared to
go out. I don't want that. I want people arrested,
and I think normal people do too.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I being pro law enforcement should not be a radical
idea that this anti ice sentiment that is out there.
I mean there's even this app out there that kind
of warns you when ice is in town. What do
you think of that?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I think that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And I don't understand how our government is not shutting
that down because there was is Apple.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let it be out there exactly platform or.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Like the Internet.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
There was an ex account that was docksing ice workers
a few weeks ago in California where.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They lived and stuff.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Ice workers are normal Americans who are just working a
job like me. And you know, they're regular civilians, and
I feel really bad for them, honestly that the entire country,
not the entire country, the craziest in this country suddenly
are treating them like they're modern day Naziss, like that
when they're enforcing the laws of this country. If you
don't like the laws of this country, you can book
a flight out of it.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
This is not North Korea.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
There's an app for that, it's called Expedia.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You can leave this country if you want. And so
people that want to come here and change the laws,
they just don't understand the Mom Donnie is no different
than Rashida to leave. I've been able to vote. I'm
twenty five years old. I've been illegally able to vote
longer than Mom Donnie has been a citizen. So how
can he now be the mayor of New York. There
are so many laws in this country, on Senate, on
House Republicans, how long you have to be here before
(28:30):
you can be a citizen, before you could run. I
don't understand how we don't have that for mayor of
one of the largest cities. And maybe the New York
State legislature if it wasn't so literally extreme ast left,
maybe they could pass something to protect that. But the
thing that Mom Donnie's all the platforms that Mom Donnie
represents have been in the New York state legislature for
a couple of years now. It really has shifted, and
he does represent a large swath of radical New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, so this latest video that I saw of him,
he's trying to eat his food with his hands and
try to be like, oh, I don't need a fork
because that's how I as a But he grew up
in a household that was far different than that. It's
not as if he came from you know, this is
how he's always eaten. It just looks so canned to me,
(29:14):
so fake. It just I don't know, maybe other people
saw it that way. I know there are people that's
the way they eat, But when he was trying to
do the rice with his hand, it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yeah, the listeners, if you're listening, you should know it
was a Chipote label with sour cream.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It was not like a case idea.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
It was fully a Chipote label with sour cream. I
don't know, everyone takes like twenty forks from what I
see every time they go to Chipotle, So him not
taking any fork, like that's just weird and gross. He's
digging his hands in and like smushing. That was just
I don't understand that. That's a little nauseating to me,
But real New Yorkers know who eats in public like that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He was faking it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
He also ate on the subway, and everyone was commenting,
like New Yorkers think it's disgusting and annoying when people
eat smelly food on this that way, like you're pretending
you're such a New Yorker. You're opening up god knows what.
Fish on the subway like that's a hate crime.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I go on airplanes a lot, and there was this
video I saw on Instagram where somebody decided to open
a packet of tuna fish like okay, I can't move,
you're sitting in the middle seat. And I just felt
for this video, like that poor person.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I would personally sue.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Tuna fish just permeates this.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
It's bad enough when you have like the babies on
the airplane and they're making their spice.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They can't help it, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Then it's like okay, it smells, but like whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So when I was in Congress, I'd fly back and
forth a lot from Utah. It's DC, DC back to Utah.
And one time I was all dressed up. They couldn't
help it. I was in a tie. I usually dressed
down just because it's a flight. I want to be comfortable.
But I'm sitting in with economy, yes, and I was
in economy. I was sitting in the window seat and
I am like, got my headphones on, my eyes are closed,
(30:59):
just trying to chill out, and all of a sudden,
I just this woman next to me had in the
middle seat. She had decided that she wanted to put
on some hand lotion, and she had this bottle and
she opened up the bottle and the pressure just exploded
on me. Oh nice, God, my nice suit and everything.
She's trying to wipe it off of me, and I'm
(31:20):
just like, just leave me alone, Like it was so gross.
At least it was just hand lotion. It wasn't tuna fish. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I know. If it was tuna fish again, I would
sue because that would be traumatizing. But that's still pretty traumatic.
I once I probably shouldn't admit this to people at home,
but I went to one movie my whole life I
went alone. I really wanted to see Wicket. All my
friends had already seen. It's three hours, like we're not
sitting through it again. She's like, okay, I'm an adult.
It's assigned seats like there was only singular since us.
(31:46):
I'll go alone. Let me get some popcorn. Let me
treat myself. I never get butter on my popcorn. Ever,
it's like an extra hunt, like five thousand calories. I'm like, okay,
a little sprinkle of butter. Walking to my seat and
it's one of those reclining seats.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I trip.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
My popcorn flies in the air. Buttered well like a
blanket covers the guy next to me, who I had to.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Sit next to for three hours.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
And I feel that woman because I start picking the
popcorn off him. I felt like one of those like
mothers in the wilderness eating the bugs off their kid.
I felt so bad, and it was hot butter all
over him, so bless that woman's heart.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I hope you got a dry.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Clean that poor guy. He just well, I don't know
what that single do is going to watch give us
with his parents? Wicked? Okay, yeah, okay, whatever, that's pretty funny. Listen,
I could chat with you for a long time. I
love your perspective, love your energy. We need more of
that in this country, especially you know, younger generation stepping
(32:40):
up and doing things. So I love your perspectives. So
thank you so much for joining us. Deborah Leah, how
do we find you? Like you're on Twitter?
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I'm on Twitter, I'm on Instagram, not really on TikTok
so much these days, mostly Instagram.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And but it's the Deborah Leah, yes right, d.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
E B r A because I'm young.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
And then you got it, it's the the sorry, the
regular one was taken. I tried pursuing this woman. She
had posted since two thousand old.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well I like that people remember THEE now that we
say it and highlighted like I had Jason Chafitz and
what was I gonna? It was available, but I went
with Jason in the house because nobody was going to
spell Chafits. I like that one, the Debra and you
can get through LEA L E A. That's easy enough.
Thank you so much for joining us on Fox across America.
I hope he cross pads again, and maybe maybe Jimmy'll
(33:30):
show up one of these times that you show up.
So thank you you can't.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I don't look like Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No, just step up. That's a good way to get
the latter part of our show. Thanks for joining us.
We'll be right back. Stay with us. It's America's number
one radio lunch day. Just get your hands out of
my fry. Well, thanks so much for joining us on
Fox across America. I'm Jason Chafit's filling in for Jimmy.
Like said, he's out on the West Coast with the
(33:54):
family doing a little rest and relaxation. I hope you
enjoy the fourth of July. I have how did it
the whole time, and I appreciate and letting me pimp
my book. They're coming for you. They are coming for
you audiobook, hard copy book. It is literally day one
of the lunch so hope you have a chance to
check that out if you want to see how data
(34:15):
is being manipulated, sold, bought by your government, how their
left is using it to come after you and your
family push you out of the economy. It's a little
bit of a scary read, but boy, if you're not
aware of it, you'll never be able to fight against it.
Let alone be part of that coalition to help change it,
and boy, if you're not aware of it, I think
(34:37):
you'd be shocked by some of the things that happen there.
So they're coming for you. It's out today, and I
appreciate your consideration. There Again, probably the most important thing
I can leave you with here is well, First of all,
thanks to Jimmy and his team. They always put together
good fun show with great guests. I love them. They
make things so easy. But I also want people to
(34:58):
understand that, you know, state, it's America. It's the greatest
country on the face of the planet. We really have
the best country. And I hope you can wear the red,
white and blue, put that flag out in front, enjoy
the country, love the country. Hopefully you get some nice,
good sunny weather, maybe some beach weather. Maybe it's pouring
rain in a thunderstorm. I don't know, but this country,
(35:21):
a lot of people have sacrificed to make sure that
you've got the freedoms and the liberties and the peace
and the safety and the security. Let's keep fighting for it, America.
I really do enjoy it. Thanks Jimmy, enjoy your time
away and look forward to having Jimmy back soon. Until then,
I'm Jason Chafitz for Fox Across America. I have a
(35:43):
great one.
