9-23-25 - 7am - Antifa Funding and Republican Registration Numbers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dragan, do keep us posted on the Jimmy Kimmel numbers.
I assume for his first week or two back there
will be the honeymoon phase and all the liberals on
the left will have to tune into his show. But
they're going to drop off pretty quickly, and I assume
his numbers are going to drop even more. It will

(00:22):
be interesting to watch.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
That's debatable. Now, yes, there will be a honeymoon effect,
but Sinclair has already announced that they're thirty one. They
have thirty one ABC affiliates. They've already announced that they
will not carry Jimmy Kimmel. They're going to preempt him

(00:49):
with a news program. So you have to take into consideration.
What's the offset of the honeymoon effect with the loss
of thirty one affiliates. Now, I don't know where those
thirty one affiliates are. I don't know what you know.
Are those all? Are they all in the top thirty markets?

(01:12):
Are they? I'm in the top ten, so I'm in
the bottom ten. It just depends on the market size.
So whatever gains there is from the honeymoon effect will
be offset by the loss of thirty one ABC affiliates
from Saint Clair. I've not heard about Next Star, whether
Next Star is going to continue to preempt or not.
So it'll be interesting to see. What I find interesting

(01:35):
is let's see if it's still on Drudge on Drudge
this morning. No, they've already flipped over something else. But
oh they have it. They still have it over here.
Disney defies Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
The how how?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I mean? I haven't read the story, but just the headline,
what did Trump do? How do they defining Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
In relation to Jimmy Kimmel. They're saying, okay, so there
could there be a separate.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Issue that Disneys to find. TU don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, that was the main headline. We've now switched to
what's the big news now? Uh oh, there was a
telecom threat foiled at the United Nations. There was a
cache of devices that can apparently jam cell service and
they found this cash of devices all around the United
Nations and they were they were going to let the

(02:26):
Star Wars barrow patrons cell phones.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Life imitates art, isn't that? That was it Apple Show
talking about where all technology was shut down for a.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Few minutes years?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, yeah, that was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Imitates Yeah, that was good.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
That was very good. So so back for just a
moment to this designation of Antifa. So you heard Caroline
Levitt talk about how Trump is going to you know,
he signed the executive order, and well, that does meet
the deafinit Antifa does meet the deaf and of terrorism.
Their activities, they are what they do. It will really

(03:06):
be up to the State Department to make that formal designation.
Now when that happens. I look, I am I'm conflicted
by this. On the one hand, I'm glad that they're
doing it because what they're doing is criminal and it

(03:31):
does meet the definition of terrorism. But we shouldn't have
to be doing this. We shouldn't have to be doing
it because all of the crimes that are being committed
by Antifa are, to one degree or another, a state
and local crime. When you try to burn down a building,

(03:54):
that's arson. Now if you try to burn down a
federal courthouse, yes, now the Fed they're going to get involved,
but the states could be involved too. You you could
have you know, dual prosecutions. So the reason we're really
doing this is because of the lack of any sort
of prosecutorial aggression on the part of state and local governments.

(04:14):
And that's because of I believe, many of these prosecutors
that have been funded by different organizations that are funded
not directly by sources Open Society Foundation, but the typical
money laundering scheme where the Open Society Foundation will give
some money to some other organization, which will give it
to some other organization which will then donate it to

(04:36):
a particular candidate to become a district attorney in some
district somewhere around the country, and then that DA is
soft on crime, but still overall is eighty million bucks.
Have you ever thought about this? And TIFA never really
existed in this country to any great extent anyway until

(04:58):
Trump won the twenty sixteen the lone. Shortly following that election.
Back in twenty sixteen, Democrat leaders sat down with George
Soros and a bunch of other of the big party
donors and started and executed a plan to stand up
and fund a beefed up ANTIFA, as their parties aren't

(05:22):
insurrection wing. And then a few months after that meeting
they executed the plan to stand up and fund a
second slightly less violent but yet race focus group, and
that group was called Black Lives Matter and the rest
is history. Now, don't make any mistake about this. While
this order by the President doesn't really come with any

(05:44):
formal legal effect, it nonetheless is a key first step
in an effort to get rid of this pestilence. That
are these organizations that are out there burning tesla dealerships,
doing whatever the crap they're doing, but inciting violence, murder people,
kid boxing people. I mean, it's unbelievable. The no, it's

(06:07):
not unbelievable. It's absolutely disgusting the number of organizations in
this country that are getting by with all of this violence,
all this disruption, absolutely decimating US society. What are the
crime stats? We missed the Chicago crime report.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, it was four deads and twenty two shot
in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Okay, well only only four. But you know, we seem
to maintain a pretty steady average of the number shots,
always in the twenties.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Exactly, and the dead seems to be anywhere between four
and six or four and eight.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Hey, yeah, a shot, like you said, is upper teens
to the low thirties.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, every weekend, this is just every every weekend.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, So why don't we have like we always talk
about mass shootings and school shootings. Why don't we have
a thing in the news all the time about Chicago shooting.
Let's just have that. So anyway, this order, well, it's
just the first step to put in motion to designate
Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Now you can tell

(07:13):
that the losers, the radical left understand that, which is
why you have people like Chuck Todd, a propagandist for
the Democrat Party, acting out in this podcast on Monday,
which I thought was kind of hilarious. Chuck Todd in
twenty twenty five says, we don't even know what antifa is.

(07:36):
Chuck Todd back in twenty seventeen hosts antifa professor who
wrote the Anti Fascist Handbook, which isn't chucky huh, which.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Isn't try to create a new classification for anybody on
the left who opposes Trump as some member of ANTIPA
and on terrorists, like this is coming and I don't
think we are fully now. I don't think there's any
depth the problem. Like I don't even know what antifa is.
I know what the definition of antifa is, and I
know what the word means, but it's not it's no

(08:09):
group now, Mark Bray, you are writing this book and
Antifa the Anti Fascist Handbook.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Explain this movement and its roots.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Mark Bray is a Dartmouth professor who has studied the
Antifa anti fascist movement. Antifa is a far left political
movement that argues it's necessary to confront hate groups, sometimes
with force. Professor Bray is author of the new book
Antifa the Anti Fascist Handbook.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh so he does know what or at least I
don't know in twenty twenty two, twenty seventeen. I'm sorry
he knew exactly what Antifa was, had a professor on
talking about it, and even described them as being involved
in violent activity. Sometimes it's necessary to commit violence. Just
one more bit of proof. As if you need a proof,

(08:58):
I guess that Todd is a propagandist, in fact, nothing
more than a professional liar. To think that he once
hosted the seat the Tim Russert sat in for Meet
the Press. Good grief, But here's what we need to understand.
Here's what you ought to be prepared for rooting out
and writing and ridding this country of antifa. It's not

(09:20):
going to happen just with even a designation by the
state Department. It's going to be a long effort, it's
going to be an ugly effort, and it will almost
surely require the deployment of some sort of Special Forces,
ICE or somebody, hopefully not US troops, but I don't
I don't want it to be US troops. But on
American soil. The FEDS are going to have to take
some sort of activity, and you're going to probably have

(09:43):
to have emergency declarations in some Democrat runs cities, and
even temporary martial law in Antiva strongholds like Portland in Seattle.
Oh that'll drive the left nuts, won't it? Just the
very idea that I suggest that, oh, maybe we should
have martial law to actually shut them down. If you
live in Portland or Seattle, you understand that this is

(10:04):
like a daily occurrence. They're always doing something. It's like
the homelessness in Denver. You cannot escape it. In Portland,
in Seattle you can't, And you cannot escape Antifa. This
is a great time to stop and consider why is
the left reacting so violently, so vocally, Whether it's you know,

(10:30):
the media, the cabal, whether it's you know, Hollywood. But
now I'm repeating myself still the cabal. Why are they
reacting so viscerally against these efforts, because before Democrats just
let it run amok, and finally people are beginning to

(10:51):
wake up and just say enough is enough. There is
no reason for us to walk around in this country
in fear. The freest well maybe not so much anymore,
but one of the freest countries on the face of
this planet. At least we have a constitutional basis to

(11:14):
be one of the freest countries in the world. Yet
we've reached a point which I think is it does
make mean Don't get me wrong, it makes me nervous.
It makes me nervous that I want to see a stronger,
more visible, and more active law enforcement presence, whether that's

(11:36):
state and local law enforcement or if necessary, federal law enforcement.
Because at some point you have to you have to
cut out the cancer. Now, once the cancer is cut out,
the question then becomes, are we ever going to analyze
and honestly think about what it is that caused us

(11:58):
to get to this point where crime Whether now crime
numbers go up and down. Crime numbers can be manipulated,
but as long as we have a society that lives
in now, not all of us live in constant fear,
but all of us are certainly aware of For example,

(12:22):
next month, I'm taking my granddaughter to New York. I
always promise my grandkids I'll take them on trip wherever
they want to go. Grandson wanted to go to Tokyo.
Think good, as my granddaughter wanted to go someplace, albeit
still expensive, not nearly as expensive as Tokyo. So we're
going to New York next month. You don't think I
haven't thought about all the places that I want to

(12:42):
take her. I mean, here is this gorgeous seventeen year
old granddaughter that I asked dragon yesterday. Dragon, do you
still think would be inappropriate for me to get one
of those leashes they use for toddlers in the mall
and put that on her? That's inappropriate?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Possibly?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Really?

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
You think she might be offended by that, probably, But grandpoo,
but that's kind of how grandpoo feels, like, Yeah, let
me let me put this leash on you. In fact,
I'm gonna tighten the leasha a little bit. You're gonna
write walk right next.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Works well for my grandson, who's almost two, But your granddaughter,
who's a teenager.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Might rebel again a little bit.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Probably not.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, okay, well maybe I'll take one along just in
case and just show it to her, like, look what
I have. Don't get out of my sight, Do not
get out of my sight. We shouldn't have to live
like this. Now. I know my I know my way around.
I know my way around New York, probably almost as
well as many New Yorkers. But nonetheless I still think about, Okay,

(13:50):
I've got to be extraordinarily careful now. I'm I've always
been situationally aware, and I know there's certain I could
turn a corner in New York and no, instantly I'll
go back the other direction. Why do we have to
live like this? We shouldn't have to. But in order
to get back to a time in society, there's always

(14:14):
been crime, There's always been there always been murders, There's
always been you know, vandalism and batteries and you know,
arson and everything else. And that will always persist because well, unfortunately,
we're all human beings. But it doesn't have to be
this bad. And so when you get someone and you
get a movement, which is I think the conservative movement

(14:37):
beginning to get more and more powerful, more and more influential.
Then there's a natural reaction to those that you are
pushing back against because they've had it their way for
so long. I believe that's the period of time that
we have moved into. The Democrats have been at war

(14:58):
with this society for over a century now, and during
that time, Republicans, you know, there was forty years do
you remember that there were forty plus years where Republicans
for forty straight years where the Republicans were the minorities
in the House of Representatives. That's why Republicans became so

(15:19):
good at just being negative and just being opposed to everything,
because that was all they could do.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Well.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Republicans failed to engage. And now suddenly we've had enough
and we elect somebody who's also had enough. But all
those years of complacency and negligence allowed the cabal, the Democrats,
all their billionaire funders, to deeply root those agents of

(15:47):
destruction deeply within. I would say, Democrat runs cities, but
they exist even though it may be a minority in
every city. They're obviously in the media, they're in the judiciary,
they're in every key institution of this country. And to

(16:11):
eradicate them is going to take time think about it
like this. There's this enormous cockroach infection in infestation. Rooting
out all of those cockroaches. It's not going to be easy,
and it's certainly not going to be pretty. It's going
to be hard. It's going to be a hard effort
that's going to require a hard group of individuals to

(16:33):
lead that movement. And it's not just Trump. Don't think.
Don't think that one man is going to do it.
It's going to require everyone to say enough is enough.
Again my lecture about how it's not just the federal government,
it's also going to take change at state and local levels.

(17:00):
One thing that happened with the assassination of Charlie Kirk
is it caused me to go in and dig in
to the numbers, and the numbers are fascinating. I didn't
have time to do a lot, but the first full
week now since well probably the most shocking political assassination

(17:22):
in sixty years, reveals which party Americans now associate with
political violence and which party many Americans are now turning
to to stop that violence, to stop the media lies,

(17:43):
to demand data that is trustworthy, and I think it's astounding.
Let me give you some of those numbers.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Next, okay, Michael, I had to comment on the uh.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
The leash or whatever on your seventeen year old granddaughter.
It would be perfect if she was.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
A furry, then you'd be all sat. There'd be no
hesitation whatsoever for putting that on. Have a good day.
What are you eating?

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I think he's walking on a path.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
That would you think?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
That's it?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think it's like a gravel path.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
The big question is does your granddaughter identify as a
dog or a cat.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
She's a dancer.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
The dancers need leashes.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
No, but she's my granddaughter. Doesn't make any difference whether
she's a furry, a dancer, whether she's but ugly or gorgeous,
to just make any difference, she's my granddaughter. Wait till
you have great kids.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
I have two.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh that's right. Maybe I said that.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
I'm thinking, wait a minute, Lance, Lance turns too.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
And just now you know what scares me about that
is that I when you tell me that Lance turns
to I'm like, holy crap. I thought Lance just was born.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yep, Nicholas was just born.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
We were just talking. We were just we were just
talking about you were so excited about Lance. That was
just like last week.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, time flies one year old.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Huh, bite my ass, just bite me. I don't need
any reminders of that.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
By the way, myself into that because both missus Redbury
and I cannot believe that Lance turns two in two weeks.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
There will be four, there'll be sick, and he's gonna
be twelve or thirteen, and then you're gonna be going,
oh my god, my aching back. Oh I should have
I should have listened to Brown, gone to QC kinetics.
Oh yeah, you'll get there, old part, You'll get there.
The Republican Party in twenty eight of twenty nine states

(20:09):
that register voters by party and that have reported their
updates since the election in November, that Republican Party has gained.
They have either added to their already existing lead or
they have reduced the Democrat lead. In other words, the
Republican Party net registrations on the Democrats. They have increased

(20:33):
their net registration on Democrats. Now, those stats underscore a
movement that is currently underway away from the Democrat Party.
Remember the Denver Post what sometime last week or week before,
had a editorial about how Bennett Polis and hicken Looper

(20:54):
were losing support of the Democrat Party. Now it didn't
mean that they're running to looking for a republic, but
they're turning on themselves. Why are they turning on themselves
because nobody has a message, and the only message that's
getting through all of the noise is a message of violence.
Jasmine Crockett out there celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk,

(21:18):
I mean, it's it's both disgusting and for someone who
loves politics, is fascinating to me. So we have a
movement away from the Democrat Party. Now, all of that
was prior to last week, before September ten and the

(21:39):
assassination of Charlie Kirk. So seven states that I track
in a battleground register. New Hampshire updates quarterly, Florida intermittently
throughout the month, just whatever they do. Iowa, Nevada do
it monthly. Florida throughout September has continued on with a

(22:02):
Republican registration surge. But three states, three states I want
to focus on right now, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania. That
will give you a glimpse into what the political world
is morphing into after Charlie Kirk's death and the Left's

(22:25):
unbelievable celebration in every possible venue they could find of
that death. Now that this country has seen the ceremony
that occurred on Sunday, and the echoing messaging messaging was fight, Fight, Fight.

(22:46):
It was kind of interesting because yesterday, as I was
bringing Tamra back from the airport, somebody was somebody on
Fox News was doing a report about Sunday's event, and
they played the short SoundBite of Trump going fight, fight, Fight,

(23:07):
and I could hear her under a breath go yeah, yeah,
like yeah, go for it. Let's look at Arizona. You
can only access Mara Copa in PMA counties, but that
accounts for seventy five percent of the statewide vote. Maricopa
County updates throughout that they just update daily, Pima County

(23:30):
updates once a week. But I want you to listen
to these numbers. These are two key counties. Remember this
is seventy five percent of vote in Arizona. Maricopa County
was already up over Democrats six point nine percent. One
hundred and seventy seven thousand plus registered Republicans in Maericopa

(23:50):
County as of the I Remember all this is as
of the election back in November twenty four today technically yesterday.
Maricopa County, Arizona is now up from six point nine
percent to seven point three percent. They've increased Republican registration
from more than one hundred and seventy seven thousand to

(24:12):
now almost two hundred thousand, one hundred ninety three thousand,
six hundred and eighty five to be precise. Wow, that's huge.
But I find, just for political purposes, I find Pima
County more interesting. It's still predominantly Democrat. In November, Pima County, Arizona,

(24:35):
Democrats were up eight point nine percent. There were fifty
eight thousand, seven hundred and sixty registered Democrats in Pema County, Arizona.
As of this month, Democrats are only up eight point
one percent. They're now down to only fifty four thousand,

(24:56):
six hundred and eighty nine. They've lost all almost five
thousand voters. M that's a pretty significant shift. Those shifts,
say Americopa County, there were four shifts over the past
twelve nine months, since since November May to June, June,

(25:21):
just liede July to August, August, September, so just to
give the two out the not outliers, but the two
outlying dates. So May to June, Maricopa County Republicans up
to forty three, August to September Maricopa Democrats up only

(25:41):
two twenty. No matter which way you measure it, Republicans
continue to outpace the Democrats. The shift in Americopa County
plus Pima County just in three weeks, with almost all
of this change coming excepts September ten, is more than

(26:03):
four times greater than the largest month long shift since
voter roll maintenance concluded. Now, the other thirteen counties, which
make up only about a quarter of the vote in Arizona,
have probably almost always or almost certainly produced a net
pickup of thousands that I just don't yet see. If

(26:26):
you detect a shift in the country, it is occurring now.
North Carolina updates their registration files once a week, and
they've been consistently heading in a Republican direction. For example,
November twenty twenty four, Democrats were up one point three

(26:48):
percent one hundred and five thousand, six hundred and seventy
five registered Democrats that as of this month, they're only
up two tenths of a percent. They're only up by
as opposed to being up one hundred and five thousand,

(27:10):
They're only up fifteen thousand. Trump won the state by
three point two percent. That's a seismic shift. When you
were up one hundred and five thousand and now you're
only up fifteen thousand, Democrats, you got a problem. And
I think that's what's happening. No, it's not horrible to say.

(27:34):
I sincerely believe that Charlie Kirk. I mean, well, does
he care? I mean he's in heaven. But I think
if Charlie Kirk could see this shift now, it's not
all Charlie Kirk, don't get me wrong, but he's seeing
this gigantic shift and he's like, Yes, that's what I

(27:55):
was working for. That's what all of us have been
working for. Now, let's be honest.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
We are.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Benefiting from the over radicalization of the Democrat Party as
they continue their frog marks to the left, even more marks,
just even more socialists and even more communists becoming a
greater percentage of the Democrat Party. We benefit from that.
The more progressives show their stripes and their colors, the

(28:29):
more we benefit from that. Hang title I'll give you
Pennsylvania numbers. Next.

Speaker 8 (28:34):
Good morning, Michael and Dragon. I'm going to jump on
this leash discussion for a minute here. I think it's
a lot like real estate. It's all about location. Here
in western Nebraska, we'd probably rough you up a little bit. Denver, Portland,
Seattle probably have a lot of people with green and
purple hair following you around wearing collars.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Have a good day. Probably not wrong.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
No, I just thought he might go one step further
and say, yeah, in Denver, Portland, Seattle, you know, he
might have some other people follow, you know, along like
little put me on the leash. And then in New York,
you know, like walking down Fifth Avenue, other tourists would
look and go, oh, look, there's a grandfather with his granddaughter.

(29:27):
I should text her. I should get a like go
on Amazon and get a screenshot of one of those
and send it to her a text message and say
would you mind wearing this while we're in New York?
Just see what a reaction is.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
See, Lance is at least cute ish. I mean, it's
just a backpack with a leash on it, and he
loves wearing the backpack, right, Yeah, But then once mom
puts the leash on it, and he gets.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
He knows, he knows, he knows.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
He can't just run off cofinitly. Yeah, wait wait till
they well grandsons. Yes, there's still still it's a grandparent relationship.
But wait till it's a granddaughter. Just wait.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
All bets are off, all.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Bets are off. You can talk about how you're going
to do this. You'd never do that. That's the stupidest
idea I ever heard. You'll call me someday and go,
did you do the leash? Because I'm thinking about, you know,
we're just going to go walk around the block. I
think I might need a leash, particularly when they're like
seventeen years old. Oh, stupid things I do, Like where

(30:35):
do you want to go? New York, Ka? You just
sure you want to go to Pueblo? Go down the
undisplosed location. Nope. Pennsylvania numbers are fantastic. It's just trend lines. Right.
In November of twenty twenty four in Pennsylvania, Democrats were

(30:56):
up by three point one percent, and I remember Trump
one Pennsylvania by one point seven percent. Democrats held a
plus registration for themselves at two hundred eighty six thousand
two hundred eighty three, they were up two hundred eighty
six thousand. That gave them a three point one percent advantage.

(31:17):
Today that's only two percent. It's down one point one percent.
They've gone from up two hundred eighty six thousand to
up only one hundred and seventy four thousand. The trend
lines are going exactly in the right direction. Now. I
point that out because I sincerely believe that there's a

(31:40):
movement of foot. I hope it's sustainable. I hope it lasts,
and it will. It'll be like anything else, it'll be
a roller coaster. But as long as the trend line
remains the same, perhaps, just perhaps, well, you've gotten off
the highway to Hell and we're back on the high
way that you know, we're back on the right. We'll

(32:02):
go in the right direction. Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful?
It would be absolutely wonderful. Wouldn't just make an old
man happy? Let's keep this up, all right,
