Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini cast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Tom Emmer from the great state of Minnesota, which was
one of the ones that had the big primaries last night,
And mister Majority leader, we love having you here, mister Webb,
and it's wonderful. What do you think, web Yeah, you
do you do? That is the r that's the proper
way to say it. But we can call him Tom
because we know him. But your thoughts of what last
(00:35):
night really reveals. It was interesting. The lieutenant governor there
is like I saw her as speech. I was here
live when all the news was breaking her acceptance speech.
I've never heard such a visceral anti ice acceptance speech
in my entire life.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, she's bad news. Minnesota was very interesting last night,
and I want to tie it to Michigan and even Wisconsin.
You guys were taught talking about polling before I came in.
I think John hit it better than anybody when he
talked about landlines. I would argue to you guys, the
reason polls are no good is we're doing the same
(01:11):
type of polling we've always done. It's mathematically defensible. The
problem is nobody has a landline. Nobody's answering their phone.
And I know this is going to surprise some of
your listeners. When people do answer the phone and answer
a survey, they're not always telling the truth. So polls,
the reason that you know everybody uses them is because
(01:32):
they can point to them and say this is mathematically correct.
The problem is that data is not complete and it's
not accurate, so you're getting all these different things. You
can look at trends, but poles can't tell you exactly
where people are at because they don't necessarily want you
to know. Minnesota great example. You know they had the
(01:52):
governor's race. They had Mike Lindell actually winning the governor's race,
and I know he feels differently about it, but you know,
the president's endorsement probably helped Mike. But Mike still had
to run a campaign, right, He had to be traveling
all over the state and doing these events and everything else.
(02:14):
You know, nobody's like Donald J. Trump and John You
and I have talked about this. He is relentless. He's
got energy that people half his age don't have, and
he's doing rallies everywhere that wasn't necessarily happening, and you
saw it come out in the result last night. On
the Democrat side, two things. One, the poll seemed to
(02:34):
be closer to accurate because I think Peggy Flanagan, who
you pointed out, is insane. I talk about a Minneapolis
deep liberal that does not fit main street Minnesota, let
alone main Street USA. And they're going to find that
out when November comes around. But you had her running
against Angie Craig, and this is what I want to
(02:56):
tie together with Michigan. So you look at Minnesota sided
Angie Craig was the standard bearer for quote unquote moderates.
She is not a great candidate. She ran a terrible
campaign and guess what the results are exactly what she
deserved based on the campaign she ran. It's the same
(03:17):
thing that I see in Michiean Everybody wants to talk
about this nutbag Lsied who doesn't love America, hates America.
We deserve nine to eleven. He thinks football is about
toxic masculinity. I mean, he's everything that isn't what we
believe in in this country. And everybody wants to make
an argument that somehow he is selling that. Nobody talks
(03:38):
about Haley Stevens, the Democrats candidate that took him on.
She's horrible. She was a terrible candidate. She you know
again the results it shows the Democrats are putting up
people because of their arrogance, whether they're on the far left,
the anarchist, the communists, the Marxist, the socialist, or they're
(04:01):
so called moderates. You know, they're progressive moderates. There is
no such thing, by the way, but they're trying to
tell themselves that this is what Americans agree with. They're
having little success in these primaries, but I expect when
November rolls around, you'll see that Michelle Tafoye is going
to be the next Senator from the state of Minnesota,
(04:22):
and Peggy Flanagan she's going to disappear. Hopefully.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, I think Michelle is a really great candidate. To boy,
oh boy, Judge.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Weiberg, Congressman, good to talk to you against sir. I
want to ask you this, what's wrong with your colleagues
in the Congress where they will not stand up to
these crazy radical Islamis and progressives and as soon as
they win the primary, everybody rallies around them as if
they're not legitimized. I don't understand it. Where's our integrity,
(04:52):
where is that backbone, where's the moral compass?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, you could have asked that a few years ago.
I mean, I'll just take you back a year ago
when Virginia was electing a new governor in the new
attorney general. You got an attorney general candidate on the
Democrat picket who is fantasizing about the murders of his
opponent's family, his children, and his opponent, and they just
(05:15):
held their nose and voted for him. Anyway, I think
on the other side of the aisle, for the most part,
it happens to be that's our person, that's who we're supporting.
They don't have that core where right and wrong matters.
They just they want to win. Plus, they've lost their way.
I mean, if you look at the people that are campaigning,
(05:37):
they're going to support anti American candidates. I don't see
that ending well. I think they've gone way too far. Now.
The key though, for us on the Republican side, we're
going to start being a little bit more sensitive to
the voters that are eighteen to thirty five. You know,
these kids, they've got more bills than any other generation
at their time. They're paying for streaming services and cell
(05:58):
phones and things that we never you have been contemplated
forty years ago, and they are struggling to make ends meet.
I think we've got to start addressing those issues and
making sure that they understand the reason this country is
so great is because you don't have to have the
government telling you who you can associate with, what you
can buy, how much of it you can have, when
(06:20):
you can have it. I mean, they're going to find
out under mandami, which you guys are living it right now.
You know, a confiscation of private property and a government
controlled food supply and energy supply. It's not the way
to go. It's never worked anywhere else. Just take a
look at Venezuela. Should be one of the richest countries
on the face of the planet, with the oil reserves
(06:43):
that sit underneath it, and yet no, no, it's one
of the poorest, and it's been destroyed by a decade
plus of these quote unquote socialists. But they're well beyond that,
they're Marxist in communists.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah. No, you're right, very very dangerous. Rudy Washington, former
deputy mayor.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yes, I'm congressman. We were talking about this during the
briefing before coming on the air, and I was pointing
out that for the first time, millennials and Gen Z's
are larger than the baby boomers. So, yes, you're right,
we better speak to the eighteen to forty oh you
(07:23):
know that feel like it's hopeless and they're willing to
try anything. You know, our school system has failed them.
We need to start addressing that as Republicans and begin
to create some hope for these young people.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, you're spot on. The other thing is you point
out the other big failure we've had is our education system.
I mean, there was a twenty six year old quoted
at First Avenue last night, a Peggy flannagainst supporter, saying
Republicans just answer to corporations. And it's like, how did
you get to be twenty six years old? And your
understanding of political difference is is that one dimensional? And
(08:03):
it's like, you know, you watch people ask the question,
what's Kambla Harris's number one policy that you support? And
they sit there routing and they just they mumble, I
don't know because they don't know. It's just an emotional response.
And if we're not doing something about it, like you say,
if we're not offering a value proposition that this is
(08:25):
why the policies the Republicans that Donald Trump is putting forward,
this is why they will make your life better and
they are better for you. Well, then we're no better
than the other side. We got to start making it
more clear why it is that what Republicans talk about
when they say we want you to keep more of
your own money. Why because we believe you make better
(08:45):
decisions for yourself than somebody else, some bureaucrat in the
government might make. And you know the problem you guys
are looking at in New York, what is it? Sixty
thousand open apartment units and the reason they're open is
because over regulation, because landlords don't want to put the
money in to make bring them up to speed, so
(09:05):
it's cheaper for them to just leave them open. That's
not an answer to what ails us, and we're going
to have to start coming up with solutions.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Socialism doesn't work. That's the big thing that people are
starting to realize. And I think even the common sense
Democrats nationally and the common sense Republicans realize it that
the common sense Democrats and the common sense Republicans have
to work together for common sense.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's exactly right. And it's funny that you use that line, John,
because last night, when Michelle Tafoya was asked, she goes, look,
our campaign is about common sense, and frankly, what's on
the ballot in November is common sense versus insanity. I
think she's right.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
There'll be a lot of eyes on Minnesota, a lot
of eyes obviously on the House, so many layers that
you are front row and center to House majority Web.
Tom Emirates so great to have you. We always love
having you on. Tom.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Thank you, thank you guys, thank you so much.
