Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, we're going to talk about the election coming up.
And yes, I know that's not exactly news to you,
but for most of the normies out there, it will
be news.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
What election we just elected Trump?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
No, there are really important off year elections, mid term elections.
There are elections all the time. And I know I'm
preaching to the choir some talking to you, but for
the normies who may be watching, when's the last time
you went on your secretary of state's website? Yes, you
have a secretary of state in your state, when's the

(00:44):
last time you went on his or her website and
found out when the next election was in your area?
There could be one tomorrow, he'll be next weekend. I
know this is not news to you, but it is
news to too many people that we actually have a
lot of different elected offices in this country. It's not

(01:05):
just the ones in Washington, DC. It's not just president,
it's not just senator, it's not just the House of Representatives.
And my concern part of the reason we're doing this
show tonight. My concern is, you know, there's a there's
an old saying, very very old. There are many different
versions of it, but success is very very difficult to

(01:27):
deal with, very difficult to handle success. This is true
in so many different walks of life. In your personal life.
When you, let's say you get rich, maybe get successful,
nice and rich, it's hard to improve, get motivated, work
out more, learn a new language.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Why I've made it.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
As sports teams do this. You come off a Super
Bowl win, you have a down year. The next year,
you don't work you don't work out as hard. You
feel good, you're comfortable. We had a huge November. We
took back to White House. We have the House, we
have the Senate, and more than that, the culture right
now is going our way. These are good things. I'm

(02:07):
not complaining at all. These are good things. But it
is human nature. Does it make you or me lazy?
It's human nature to look around and go, who.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Thank goodness, I'm gonna take some time off. I gotta relax.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You know who's not taking any time off? The communists.
They're not going to wait for twenty twenty eight to
try to claw back power. The communists have always understood,
democrats have always understood. There are many layers of power
in the United States of America. There's business power, there's
all kinds of local political power, state political power. There

(02:44):
are all kinds of little choke points of power you
can go grab ever, much much sooner than four years
before there's another presidential election. The communists understand this, and look,
the school boards are the soft underbelly of power in
this country. It's a soft underbelly for both sides. The

(03:07):
Communists have known about the school boards forever. That's why
your red town has a bunch of DEI lessons in
the school curriculum. Because the Republican parents stay home. They
don't even know about the school board elections. All the
Communists go, get on the school board and make sure
your son turns gay. That's what happens in this country.
It's a soft underbelly we can exploit. Not many people

(03:28):
turn out for these elections. All we have to do
is care. If we don't care, people like this run
the school board.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I'm not a school board. Those are so cute.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, that's.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
All right.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Anyway, I'm a veteran and I'm not a corporate mistri
lojage so just recently returned like five years ago, so
I have time now to be a school board. I've
never been on the school board before and I'm sure
I can handle it.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
All right.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
Do you have anything to do with the emerged groups?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Run, okay, all right, well I do. I actually sent
h Alicia. Okay, Alicia, that's all.

Speaker 8 (04:16):
I think.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
This is a race.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
I will yeah, you're not interested in I'll go.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
We don't want emerge candidates?

Speaker 9 (04:30):
Well, we don't want my way because I got it
on do you on Facebook?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
In charge of your child's education? They're focusing on school boards.
What will they do when they take the school board
away from your child? What will they do when they
take over and they get to run the education for
your child while we're.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Celebrating drow up in the White House. Here's what they do.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Puter School District is committed to providing a safe and
welcoming learning environment where all students, employees, families, and community
members are recognized, supported, included, and celebrated. I just got
an email, excuse me, regardless of their gender identity, gender expression,
or sexual orientation, and the board strives to ensure that

(05:23):
they are seen, accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they
fully are.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
I thought that was important to read.

Speaker 10 (05:31):
I just want to take a moment to say thank
you to everyone who is supporting this lgbtq A plus
History Month. I also want to point out that it's
Banned Books week, and so that's one of the things
that you'll see a lot, is that the LGBTQIA books
that get banned, that's one of the more popular reasons

(05:52):
to try and ban a book is because of the
lgbtqi A content. And I just thought I wanted I
just wanted to share with you a little piece of history.
So guess who which authors are queer? And it's probably
some classics that you didn't know. Things that we think
of as classic love stories, we're written by queer authors

(06:16):
because they are love stories. So I just want to
share that in history today, in the LGBTQI History Month,
this is about love, always has been, always will be.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I feel like running for school board in the very
least you feel like finding out when your next school
board election is. Maybe text and some friends have some
people over watch some football on Sunday, bring it up,
encourage people to get out there. These people aren't sitting
back accepting the loss because the culture is going their way.

(06:55):
They are as after your children today as they have
ever been. When Terry mccaulloff ran for governor in Virginia,
got a little too honest.

Speaker 11 (07:04):
I'm not gonna let parents come into schools and actually
take books out make their own decisions. So, yeah, you've
stopped the bill that I don't think parents should be
telling schools what they should teach.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oops. Credit to Terry mcculloff.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
He doesn't think parents should be telling schools what they
should teach. These people have not forgotten about the other
choke points of power. While we focus on the White
House and the border and the Senate and the House
and the Continuing Resolution, there.

Speaker 12 (07:40):
Are elections all the time.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Shoot, if you're in Virginia, there's a big one comment.

Speaker 13 (07:46):
I'm wondering why my opponent won't say beyond its abhorrent
and disgusting, why she won't say it is not okay
and that he must leave the race because because Jay
Jones advocated the murder Abigail, the murder of a man,
a former speaker, as well as his children who were

(08:09):
two years, two and five years old. You have little girls.
What would it take him pulling the trigger? Is that
what would do it? And then you would say he
needs to get out of the race. Abigail, you have
nothing to say, Abigail, what if he said it about
your two children, your three children? Is that when you

(08:30):
would say he should get out of the race, Abigail,
you're running to be governor.

Speaker 9 (08:36):
Miss Earl Sears.

Speaker 10 (08:38):
I know you're saying that you would not personally say this,
but do you think still that there is that place
for that kind of rhetoric the example that we gave,
even coming from others.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
You have thirty seconds.

Speaker 13 (08:49):
So I'm responsible from my behavior and what I've said.
I've just said. I wouldn't say that. I would not
speak that way.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
That's coming up like five minutes in Virginia. It's not
just Virginia. We forget about New Jersey. There have been
trends in New Jersey. New Jersey's been trending our way.
We have a chance to keep these demons out of office.

Speaker 14 (09:16):
Should parents have the right to opt their kids out.

Speaker 15 (09:18):
Of LGBTQ related content in the same way that right
now they can be removed from sex ed and health
curriculum classes.

Speaker 16 (09:26):
Look, I believe that parents have the right to oversee
their children's education. I would push an LGBTQ education into
our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of
a lot of things. But this is not an area
where they should be opting out, because this is an
area of understanding the background of people throughout our nation.
And right now we see, for example, at our Naval

(09:48):
Academy on a rasure of.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, you don't get to opt out of that.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
No no, no, no no. We're going to take your child.
We're going to park them in a chair, and we're
going to teach them they can be gay. They probably
are gay. They're probably tranny's. If you like being a tranny,
tell us we won't tell your parents. These people are sick,
demonic freaks, and they're not waiting for four years to
take back power. They're running for power right now. Get involved,

(10:17):
All right, all right, we have a huge show for
you tonight. In fact, we're going to expand a little
bit more on that Virginia race. We kind of dismissed
Virginia sometimes too, think of it as purple. We kind
of got lucky last time because of some missteps. Virginia's
in play. Talk to Carly about it next. I am

(10:45):
a chip freak. I know that there are people. There
are pretzel people or people who like sweets, you know
you want to sit around and eat candy. Ever since
I was a kid, all I wanted were chips, And
now I'm forty four and I'm still addicted to chips.
It's very clear that I'm gonna eat chips to the
day I die. The problem is all these chips you
buy in the gas station will actually kill you, and

(11:06):
so I needed something else. I heard about massive chips
from a friend. I was told only three ingredients, so
there's so much better for you. So immediately I thought
they're gonna be disgusting. They're gonna be grossed like all
the other health food. Massive chips are my favorite chips.
If everything was eco, I would still eat massive chips.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
You don't feel all bloated and horrible after you're.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Done because it's just three ingredients, no cancer causing filth.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Go eat chips guilt free.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
May I recommend Little Daba Hot Sauce on there. They
have all kinds of flavors. Go to Massive Chips dot
com slash jessetv.

Speaker 17 (11:52):
I can think of nothing more horrific than a mother
having to hold her dying child. How can Virginians trust
a man? And who said something so horrific? So callously.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well again, I am so deeply, deeply sorry for what
I said, and I wish that it hadn't happened, and
I would take it back if I could.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I wish that it hadn't happened. That's my favorite thing
in the world.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's what I say to my wife when she finds
the empty bag of Dorito's in the trash can.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Look, I wish it hadn't happened.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Joining me now, Carly Bird, opinion writer for the Daily
Wire Daily Caller.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Hey, he wishes it hadn't happened. What's the big deal?

Speaker 9 (12:34):
I mean, this guy is absolutely on a different planet.
I mean, listen, we talk about October surprises, you talk
about politicians who misspeak or stumble. Let us be very clear.
This is somebody who believes that murdering your political opponent
is an option. And he's running to be the top

(12:55):
law enforcement officer of the state of Virginia, and he
has the goal to see there and say I'm sorry,
as if I don't know. It was like an insult
that he didn't mean. This is next level. It should
be rejected across the board. And as you just saw
from that clip, he has no answer for it and
whatever he thinks. His answer is Virginians are watching and

(13:17):
he does not pass the test.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Pray to God you are correct.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I am a bit concerned about how widespread Jay Jones's
feelings are.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Here was Tim Kaine.

Speaker 18 (13:31):
Look, you read these and it's shocking. It is shocking.
I do know him well. I've known him since he
was a teenager. I ran against his father for lieutenant
governor and a Democratic primary in two thousand and one.
It's been twenty five years ago. I think I know
him pretty well. This was clearly a very He was
very worked up about something at the time and shared

(13:54):
thoughts in a way that shouldn't come across your mind,
much less get put into a text.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
The voters are gonna have to figure that out.

Speaker 18 (14:00):
But knowing him for twenty five years gives me a
vantage point on him, and that's why I'm still supporting him.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Carly, They're all still supporting him. There's been no backtracking,
no widespread condemnation. In fact, even the voters themselves, when
pulled Democrat voters don't have any problem with it.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Where does that put us as a country.

Speaker 9 (14:23):
In a dark place? I wrote about this in a
piece for the Daily Wire recently, where I basically make
the point that j Jones is a symptom of a
larger problem and the rot is much deeper in the
Democrat Party.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
There was a poll that was.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
Done after Charlie Kirk's assassination that found that liberals, specifically
young liberals, are okay murdering political opponents, or that should
at least be something that could be considered as a
way to get your political agenda across. That's what j
Joonons believes. Tim Kaine is sitting there absolutely shameless refusing

(14:59):
to rescin endorsement. This should be like the bottom of
the bottom. Hello, take away your endorsements from somebody who
thinks murdering people based on their political opinions is okay.
And by the way, watching a mother hold their dying child,
that's also okay if you don't agree with me on
Second Amendment rights, says Jay Jones, this is disgusting. It

(15:22):
should be a no brainer for Abigail spam Burger, everybody
and on that side of the aisle to say, hey,
this isn't okay. Remember this is the party who lectures
us on morality twenty four to seven, and I don't
want to hear it anymore, because they have somebody they
have now put and said out loud that they are
totally fine with somebody who wants to murder their political

(15:45):
political opponents at the top of the law enforcement of
the state of Virginia. It's disgusting. It should be rejected.
It's going to be a big problem for Abigail Spamburger.
She thinks that she can sit there not saying anything.
Let the voters decide, get away with it. I am
telling you, I have looked at the early voting that's

(16:06):
already under way here in Virginia. The turnout in Republican
strongholds is way surpassing the Democrats. People are fed up
with this insanity. Abigail Spamberger's basically her unwillingness to distance
herself from this person, saying she's gonna condemn it. But
I see signs with their names next to each other. Now,

(16:27):
Virginians are smarter than that. She doesn't look like a leader.
She looks weak. And that's what people are starting to
see is wait a minute, who is this person is
Abigail spamber I was told she was super moderate, and
you know whatever. Now she's out here refusing to rescind
her endorsement or somebody who's literally advocating for murder. No,
I think this is going to be a huge problem

(16:49):
for her. If you would have asked me maybe before
these texts came to light, I would say that the
feeling on the ground here in Virginia. I live in
Virginia Beach is really not so great. I think that
there has been a huge momentum shift, and we saw that.
I think the Democrats feel it too. You saw Barack
Obama come out and say I'm endorsing Abigail Spanburger nineteen

(17:11):
days from election day. Everybody remembers in twenty twenty one
that happened with Terry mcculloff ten days before Glenn Younkin one.
And so I think that when you know the gohone
gets tough, they call in Obama. It didn't work last time.
I don't think it's going to work this time.

Speaker 15 (17:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
I think the bloom is kind of off the Obama rose.
Speaking of Abigail's span Burger and problems, she has a
problem that I believe is probably going to plague every
Democrat for the next few years. The whole training in girls'
bathrooms problem, here, she was.

Speaker 19 (17:41):
Would you rescind the youngin administration policy requiring boys and
girls to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex? You
have thirty seconds.

Speaker 14 (17:50):
My priority would be to ensure that local communities, importantly
parents and teachers, that's educators, are able to work together
to meet the unique needs of each school in each community.

Speaker 19 (18:03):
The miss Svamburger, the question was should the young would
you rescind the youngin administration policy requiring boys and girls
to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex? You have
fifteen seconds to clarify that question.

Speaker 14 (18:19):
Yes, and my answer is that in each local community,
decisions should be made between parents and educators and teachers
in each community.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, that's known in football as punting. They continue to
do this. Is that good enough for the voters?

Speaker 9 (18:40):
I don't think so. I think that First of all,
I have to give actually credit to the two moderators
that debate who continually pushed Yel Spamberger to say, okay,
but what do you mean and can you take a
position on this? She was pushed on her endorsement Jay Jones.
You saw on that clip she was forced or asked
to clarify her position. There don't want to say it

(19:00):
out loud because she has gotten away with basically being
painted as this moderate suburban mom who really just wants
to tackle rising costs for families. She is a vessel
for a far left agenda that is coming to Virginia
if when some Sears does not win this election. She

(19:21):
has already You could just tell from that answer she's
not willing to say that boys should use boy bathrooms
and girls should use girl bathrooms. As a mother myself,
and I know she's a mother, that is absurd, I
guarantee you she doesn't want her daughters sharing a bathroom
with a biological boy. But she's going to make everybody
else pay for it because guess what, she can't enrage

(19:42):
her base lest she lose this pull up. But she
also has said that she would rescind levernor Ynkin's actions
to make Virginia a sanctuary state. Again, this is a
far left Democrat. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I don't think Virginians are gonna fall for it, because
again you're seeing the turnout already in early voting Republicans

(20:03):
are motivated. This October surprise was one of the biggest
i've seen in my time in politics, these texts from
j Jones. People are waking up. And let me tell you,
I would much rather be and win some seers sears
shoes right now than Abigail Spamberger's trying to defend and
get away from. They're in crisis mood.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
They have many days.

Speaker 9 (20:22):
This is when everybody pays attention. You know, if something
like this happened, let's say six months ago, people are
still sleeping at the wheel on this. Their kids are
going back to school, they're busy. People are dialed in.
They're watching her, they're watching her answers, and they are
seeing that there is a lot at stake in this race.
I don't think Virginians are going to fall for it.
They're starting to see that she is a far left radical,

(20:45):
and I think it's going to be a big, big
problem for her.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, I think you're right, Carly. Appreciate you very much.
It's for coming, all right. That's the good news. That
was a lot of good news. I feel better now,
let's feel worse.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Let's stop.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
We're gonna talk about in New York City, a place
I love dearly, can't help it.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm not so sure it's going to be good news
when this commed scumbag man Donmie, ma'am Donnie, I don't
know his name is stupid when he gets up for
election because I think he's going to be the next mayor.
And as Stetman is in the belly of the beast, let's.

Speaker 8 (21:24):
Hear what she has to say next.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Let me tell you about energy.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Feeling good all the time, Feeling good in the morning
when you wake up, feeling energized, ready to take on
the day at work, not sitting there.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Staring at the clock.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
Get me another cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
When you get home.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Don't you want to enjoy your family, your time to yourself.
You want to go shooting, go for a walk, get
your tea levels up. You can't walk through your life
being low tee and tired and depressed all the time.
That's no way to live. We are drinking estrogen. It's
in the birth control. We can't get it out of
the water. It's in the we shower in estrogen. We

(22:09):
have lost half of our testosterone in the last fifty years.
That societal extinction if we don't turn it around. Chalk
is trying to turn it around with natural herbal supplements.
Twenty percent increase in your tea levels in ninety days.
Just try it. You're three months away from feeling like
a new person. Chalk dot Com slash jessetv.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
I am in favor of defunding the police. I think
that what we need to do is not chip away
a million dollars or five million. I think in this
first year we need to take a billion dollars out
of that budget.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Our prisons obsolete, and.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
I think that frankly, I mean, what persons do they serve.
I think we have to ask ourselves that we'll have
to go beyond the market. We can establish community land
Trust to gradually buy up housing on the private market
and convert it to community ownership. We have to continue
to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that

(23:15):
we are unapologetic about our socialism. There are also other
issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS right
or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means
of production.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Board.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, I'm so sad for the city I love so much.
I just see like this freight train coming and it's
like I'm tied to the tracks joining me. Now, is
someone who actually is tied to the tracks and as
Stetman's senior policy analysts for the Independent Women's Forum, and
as I know it's not your style, but make me

(23:51):
feel better.

Speaker 15 (23:52):
He's not gonna win, right, It looks like he's gonna win,
in part because his opponents really couldn't get their act together,
as is so often the case, and also because he
is the zeitgeist of the new Left. He reflects his
voters very well. So unfortunately, he looks like he's going
to pull this one out. Although you know, I'll hold

(24:12):
out hope for the city that I love for this
not to be the case.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know, And as somehow I don't see that coming
because as much as I despise that dirty little communist,
he is good at this charismatic speaks. Well, he's got
that big, stupid fake smile and his big stupid face
and don't see I don't see how he falls on
his face.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, I mean, look, I don't believe he's charismatic.

Speaker 15 (24:35):
I keep people keep telling me this, and maybe it's
just one of those things that when you hate somebody's
views so much you can't objectively analyze them. But I
truly don't see what people are talking about. He seems
extremely inauthentic on top of his extreme views. So he's
being real in a sense about his views, but the
way that he talks to people to me is very

(24:56):
like off putting and inauthentic and fake. But look, I
can't you can't argue with results, right And I think
more than anything, like I said, I think he is
the essence of the progressive base of the Democratic Party,
and that's a base that's extremely frustrated right now and
looking for an outlet, having lost a lot of national

(25:17):
power in the last year or so, so they're looking
for outlets, whether that's you know, celebrating political violence or
electings O ron wandami. Unfortunately, they want to destroy New
York City to essentially just to give the finger to Trump.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
That's really what this is about.

Speaker 15 (25:33):
And unfortunately those of us who live in New York
City are going to have to suffer because essentially the
left spase is having a temper tantrum and.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Is I think about the NYPD and how it has
rotted so badly over the last ten years. Because the
good cops are putting in their retirement papers, they're going
to walk a beat in Florida somewhere they don't want
to serve under scumbags like the Blasio And now I
can't help but think this is going to be about
the last of them, right, unless you're a year away
from retirement trying to ride it out. They're checking out,

(26:05):
And that department, which has been so revered and correctly
so for so long, it's going to be full of
the biggest bunch of scumbags. And that breaks my heart too.

Speaker 15 (26:13):
Yeah, I mean, it's the best police force in the
world in New York City. These are guys who put
their lives on the line every day. It's a big,
roiling city. Even under good law and good circumstances, which
it is decidedly not today. It's a dangerous job, but
it's notable compared to other liberal cities. And I've been
telling people on the right about this for years. Actually,

(26:33):
New York since Giuliani, even under Devlasio, right, it stayed
fairly safe compared to other big blue cities because the
NYPD was the final firewall.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Right.

Speaker 15 (26:46):
So Albany was letting people out on bail immediately after
knifing people and there was nothing the city could do
about that. But at least the cops would go out
interrest people and take them off the street for twenty
four hours, for forty eight hours.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's a lot.

Speaker 15 (26:59):
Actually, that does all lot in terms of crime. We're
in comparison to d C, which has now done a
total U turn under you know, under Trump rule essentially,
but before.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Where the police have just given up. Right.

Speaker 15 (27:09):
The police won't show up to any call that's not
extremely serious. Right, You can get your carjacked there and
the cops will maybe show up hours and hours later,
maybe they'll take your report. Even though you have a
beacon like or a tracker in your car and you
can tell them where you're stolen car is, they won't
pursue it. They've just sort of given up, right, And
that wasn't the case in New York City for a

(27:30):
very long time. But I think you're right. There's a
lot of these guys that, I mean, who wants to
be the cop who had to shoot a potentially young
black purp under Zohan Mandami as mayor, you know that
you're going to become the you know you're you're going
to become the pin cushion of the year for the
left and for the mayor so you know who wants
to I understand. I mean, you got to understand why

(27:50):
somebody would say, you know, I, you know, I've had it.

Speaker 11 (27:52):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I don't want to, you know.

Speaker 15 (27:54):
I don't want to risk my livelihood. I don't want
to risk my family. I don't want to risk my
reputation for a city that doesn't respect me and doesn't
you know, respect fast sacrifice.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
At all, Yeah, I'd be gone so freaking fast. No,
I don't blame him at all. One thing that does
surprise me is the fall of Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Here's serious the city of New York.

Speaker 20 (28:14):
We are the capital of diversity, one hundred and eighty
languages spoken in our school system, different languages, people from
all across the world.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
That makes us stronger, not weaker.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
And as the Cuomo family is royalty in New York City,
he went from the Governor's mansion to being booted out
for having magic fingers, and now now he's going to
lose to this little turd for New York City mayor.
How did someone fall that fast?

Speaker 15 (28:49):
I mean, I think it really is about dynamics in
the Democratic Party, and we should be familiar with it.
On the right to me this race has some of
that feeling, that vibe of the twenty six teen race
with Trump versus the entire Republican field. Right, you have
to understand that as radical as the Democratic Party is,
it's power brokers, it's corrupt power brokers like Andrew Cuomo.

(29:11):
They're not They're not enough for the base of the party.
The fact that he, you know, shut down the entire
city over over COVID and force everybody to have BAX passports,
that wasn't enough. And by the way, the me too scandals,
that has become the signature calling card, particularly in New York,
where the Democratic Party wants to take out one of
their own. Is they they manufacture or find or you know,

(29:34):
have somebody remember a me too scandal, usually relatively minor
proportions like the things that Andrew Cuomo was accused of.
It was making kind of inappropriate jokes, I think, maybe
like grabbing a thigh under a table, or we're not
talking about like a serial rapist here. But he is
the face of the establishment of the Democratic Party and
that's simply not radical enough for a lot of Democratic voters.

(29:55):
So that's why they they booted him out, and it
has that sort of look people still think he might
be able to win. He's not, you know, completely out
of the running when it comes to the polls, but
he has that stink of the loser on him at
this point, and I'm sort of skeptical that he's going
to be able to pull it out, even though most
of the barriers in front of him have been removed

(30:16):
by people who are desperate to see Mandami not be
elected mayor to see anybody but Mandami, which anybody but
Mandami really is, you know, Cuomo's only line that could
convince anyone to vote for him at this point.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
And as what does this mean for the Democrat Party nationally,
because you're so correct and that their animalistic base now
has their their politicians afraid they run the party now,
I'm Chuck Schumer's afraid of AOC that it's well known.
But these things don't sell nationally, so it looks like
they're going extinct. I mean, it's hard to imagine this

(30:52):
can continue forever.

Speaker 15 (30:55):
It's really a mirror image of what happened with Republicans because,
as you know, Jesse and you and I have agreed
on this for years and it's been frustrating US for years,
Republican politicians will go to their voters, go to their district,
and they'll run through a laundry list of positions that
you and I agree with, and they'll say, these are
my positions. Send me to Washington, and then they'll go
and take up that seat in Washington or in our

(31:16):
state legislatures after Republican voters vote for them, and they
will not accomplish any of those things. They won't even
vote for those things right that they promised. So they
actually moved to the center when they were elected, and
that was the big divide between the base and the
establishment of the party. Interestingly enough, I think it's kind
of a mirror image in the Democratic Party, where they

(31:36):
don't say the things that the base wants them to
say because they know that moderates are turned away by
their full throated endorsement of the fantasy that a man
can become a woman and should play in women's sports. Right,
they've pulled back rhetorically from some of those positions, and
their base is mad that they've pulled back rhetorically from
some of those positions. But when you actually look at

(31:56):
how they vote in Washington or in our state, capitals.
They vote not that far out of step with their
progressive base. I mean, if you look at Andrew Cuomo's
positions now, he's hitting Mondami on the crime issue right
that you brought up, He's hitting Mondami on the crime issue.
Andrew Cuomo signed into law the bail reform that is

(32:16):
absolutely killing New York State right now, that has people
who are you know, slashing people in the subway out
on the street the next day. Andrew Cuomo's record is
not tough on crime. It's lunatically left on crime. But
he's rhetorically pulled back on that and that's what angers
his voter. So it really is, it is like this
mirror image, weird, warped version of the same divide between

(32:38):
the base and the establishment of the party, except in
this case. You know, I think the smart Democratic voter
would probably be happier right than the Republican voter, because
these guys do vote left when they get into office,
they just don't say it as loudly.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
I do. It'd be nice to actually have our politicians
do with they what they kind of say. That would
be something. And as thank you so much, I appreciate you,
all right, Pennsylvania is really important, really really important. I
am getting the feeling that Pennsylvania is going our way.

(33:16):
I'm not saying that it is to have Democrat governor
and all that, you know, Democrat Senator Fetterman. But if
Pennsylvania could go from purple to solidly read, that would
essentially block Democrats out from national power for the foreseeable future.
But I'm not saying that's happening. Cliff Maloney is on

(33:36):
the ground in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 8 (33:38):
Let's hear what he says next.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
We're in this wonderful period of time something I never
thought I would say, where feminism is being rejected, but
America is embracing fat.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
It's wild at all.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Doesn't make sense until you understand that fat is actually
good for you. It's not bad for you natural fats.
We cook with canola oil and vegetable oil. We grab
this tub of goo that's just a big bunch of
cancer causing filth, and we cook with it. We deep
fry with it, and we don't have to golden age.

(34:20):
Fats is here, so we don't have to beef tallow.
It's not only good for you, it's delicious. You can
start having things make your fried chicken at home.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
We make fries all the time. With it. We make fries.
Got my little.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Deep fire Golden Age tallow chop up a potato gilt
free fries. That's what you should do as well. Go
to goldenagefats dot com, slash Jesse TV.

Speaker 19 (34:57):
I got to walk at my college graduation opened the wall.

Speaker 21 (35:00):
She had to pay federal fines for breaking federal law
on stock trades and stock reporting.

Speaker 18 (35:05):
And the New York Times reports was trading defense stocks
while sitting on the House Armed Services Committee.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Well, did you make seven million in stock trades at all? Long?

Speaker 9 (35:14):
I I haven't.

Speaker 16 (35:17):
I don't believe I did. But I'd have to go
see what that was alluding to again, what kind of
came from?

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Ow? I don't know. I don't know if I made
seven million.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Look, there's a lot of inns, a lot of outs
joining me now. Cliff Maloney's CEO of Citizens Alliance. All right, Cliff,
we're gonna spend a little bit on Jersey and then
spend a little bit on Pennsylvania. Would I tell people
Pennsylvania's turning red? No one's surprised when people here in
New Jersey might be.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
They're quite surprised, is it.

Speaker 21 (35:51):
Yeah, Look, New Jersey is in play. I didn't think
i'd say that a year ago. You know, we've launched
this New Jersey Chase program pretty much taking all that
tactics that we learned in twenty twenty four from Pennsylvania
and going right over the bridge to be in New Jersey.
And look, I gotta tell you guys, you know Jack Chittarelli,
the more time people spend with him, he's very comparable

(36:13):
to a likable guy, a decent person, a family man.
He's just he's a man's man right when you hang
out with him, he's a cool dude. Mikey Cheryl is
absolutely the Kamala Harris of New Jersey. Right, the more
time she spends with voters, the more votes she loses.
And so this race, it is neck and neck. Polling
is pretty much dead heat, and it's gonna come down

(36:34):
the two things. Can we compete when it comes to
vote by mail? And do we have the turnout that
Republicans typically have on election day. I'm focused on mail.
A lot of people focused on election day turnout. But
this is a winnable race for Jack Chittarelli.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Okay, so is this one of those cases, Cliff. No
matter how the race goes, it's closed.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
That's good. I don't want to win. But is this
one of those.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Cases where it's kind of a perfect storm in our favor.
Their candidate sucks, our candidate's a cool dude, and then
of course in the future they'll continue to vote Democrat
every single election. Or is the state actually trending in
our direction?

Speaker 21 (37:13):
Yeah, so registrations show that it is trending towards Republican.
And the one thing to point out to your listeners, Jesse,
look at a lot of the Democrat endorsements. This is
why I don't think this is a one time deal.
Like you said, right, It's not just some random thing
and it'll go back. You have a ton of Democrat mayors,
Democrat council members that are coming out and supporting Jack Chittarelli.

(37:33):
And I think the reason for that is because we
know politicians only care about three things, getting elected, getting
re elected, and getting elected to higher office. And they're
looking at the equation and they're realizing that the tide
is moving and if Jack Chitarelli wins, they don't want
to be sitting out for four years when the Republicans
and the governor's mansion. So they're seeing how people are reacting,

(37:54):
they're seeing how voters are interested, and they're just not
willing to go with this woke nonsense that the left
continues to parade around. Jesse. I said this on your
show before. I thought that after November fifth in twenty
twenty four, that the left would have a full pivot.
They'd realize, hey, listen, we can't side with illegals over Americans.

(38:14):
We can't want men in girls' bathrooms. Mikey Sheryl is
the exact replica of what the Democrat message has been
for the past four years. That's a huge win for us,
but it tells me the state is shifting to the right.
I don't think it's short term. I think it's a
long term change, and New Jersey is showing us that

(38:35):
it's not just Jersey. But I think this is going
to continue to have a ripple effect across the country.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Is this is the reasoning behind it kind of what
you just alluded to, Cliff, where they're just getting too baddie,
too crazy. I mean, New Jersey may be a traditional
Union Democrat state, but they don't want trainees and sports
that they don't want to see, or is it something deeper?

Speaker 21 (38:58):
Well, I think what you just said with unions is
is pretty clear too. When it comes to Jack, it's
the blue collar versus the elites. Right, we saw in
twenty twenty four, it's exactly what's happening in twenty twenty five.
Any hard working person that's trying to pay their mortgage,
to put food on the table, to take their kids
to basketball practice, they're going to vote for Jack JITTRELLI right.
So it's a mix. Is it deeper? Yes, You've got

(39:20):
a lot of things that are happening nationally. But I
just think that so many normal folks look at the
left and they say they have gone too far, and
when you look at the candidates on the right that
are talking to normal people that are trying to fix
let me give you this example, Okay, Jack Chitarewi's entire
campaign is about lowering the cost of energy electrical bills,

(39:41):
hitting the pocketbook and trying to save people money. Mikey Sheryl,
her whole campaign is just running on this elitist type,
woke stuff that nobody cares about these twenty eighty issues.
So yes, there's some topical things that play here, but
it is deeper. I think the country is realizing the
left is out of control and this is a referendum

(40:02):
on how far left they're going to go.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Well, let's cross the bridge to Pennsylvania. I know it's
not hours yet, I get that.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Is it going to be?

Speaker 21 (40:14):
It will be, And your viewers here take my pledge
that by twenty twenty eight, Pennsylvania will become the red
wall that makes it impossible for Democrats to win a
national election.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Again.

Speaker 21 (40:24):
Look, we're using the playbook that they used. Okay, our
PA Chase program that I came on the show and
talked about all last year, we didn't leave. We're back
in twenty twenty five. We're going to be there every
single year. This year knocking five hundred thousand doors, next
year for the midterm, seven hundred and fifty thousand doors,
and in twenty twenty eight we're going to knock a
million doors through the Pennsylvania Chase program in Pennsylvania. Now,

(40:47):
you might say, Jesse, what are you focused on? It
doesn't matter. What you're doing is you're developing habit amongst
Republican voters that are never going to vote on election day.
They're low propensity, unlikely to vote. But if you get
them to request a ballot and you get them to
send it back, they're developing a habit and understand the process.
If you vote this year in twenty twenty five, you

(41:10):
are absolutely going to vote in the midterms in twenty
twenty six. And so that's what we're doing. We're following
the DEM's playbook of getting that habit built, and so
every year they understand what they need to do. If
I had one thousand voters in each of our three
congressional swing districts that vote this year that didn't vote
last year, that's going to flip some of those seats.

(41:30):
That's the permanent infrastructure that we need.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
How do people get involved in either of these races?
If they want cliffs, should they they should?

Speaker 21 (41:41):
Folks can help out. One hundred and seventy five dollars
sponsors an entire day of ballot chase. You can go
to pachase dot com or njchase dot com. I want
x at Maloney follow all the updates. But Jesse has
always appreciate you and everything you do for this movement.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Man, I appreciate you very much. Thanks for putting in
the work. We got to put in the work. That's
putting in the work, and that kind of stuff inspires
me because we are getting better. I know, we have
a long way to go. I have a long way
to go, don't we all? We can all do more.
But we're doing it. We're doing something. Things are happening.

(42:19):
It's a great thing.

Speaker 12 (42:20):
All right, light in the mood next.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
All right, it's time to lighten the mood. And I
know we're talking about elections tonight's campaign special talking about
the elections coming up. But one of the reasons the
Democrat Party is in free fall right now is Grandma
Vodka got too old and too drunk to keep control
of the party, so she just let it go. Now

(42:57):
though I'm in credit to her, she is spending her
final years in office hammering beers in the morning and
telling reporters to shut up in the afternoon.

Speaker 22 (43:07):
Congress Laning Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the
new January sixth Committee will find you liable to that?

Speaker 11 (43:13):
That?

Speaker 3 (43:13):
I am right here him.

Speaker 22 (43:14):
Are you at all concerned about the new January sixth
Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you
refuse the National Guard on January sixth.

Speaker 13 (43:24):
Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard.

Speaker 19 (43:27):
The President didn't send it.

Speaker 13 (43:28):
Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as
if you're as serious journal The.

Speaker 22 (43:33):
American people want to know we still have questions. Thank you,
shut up.

Speaker 8 (43:41):
That's suitable
