Speaker 1 (00:00):
All of you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Right down our toll free telephone number if you want
to be a part of the program. It's eight hundred
and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. Linda,
by the way, is working remote and her microphone's not
working today. How are we going to go a whole
show Jason and Katie without Linda, an entire show without
her weighing in or me aggravating her, or her getting
(00:23):
aggravated at something I'm saying. I was going to bring
up again Taylor Swift's wedding just to annoy her.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I mean, that's as predictable as the day is long.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Right, they're doing rehearsals today.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh they're doing at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So you know there have been some people that have
been speculating that this is a headfake. I've never thought
this is a headfake. I've always thought this is real.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And you not think they weren't going to get married. No,
I knew they were going to get married.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
The head fake meaning that it's not at Madison Square
Garden and they're acting like it is, and then it
would take place at some other location. But all indications
are according to friends of mine that live in New York.
Madison Square Garden is like surrounded by you know, massive trucks,
and it's going to be this huge ordeal. And I guess,
(01:16):
you know, some people are complaining about it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's I guess the is the wedding? When is it tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Where's that Wedding's tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I believe it is tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'm not really sure why people, you know, are so
worked up about it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It makes no sense to me at all.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
As far as I'm concerned, is two people they met,
they fell in love, They're having a big wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's their wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They planned it, they can afford Madison Square Garden. I
can only imagine what the cost of running out Madison
Square Garden is. And you know, why would anyone wish
them anything other then the best, unless you're just a
jackass that wishes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You know, the worst on people.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm just like, Okay, so they get married, why not
wish them the best? I mean, life is hard enough,
and these are like how many great moments in life
or or moments that you want to be memorable do
people actually get to.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Have in their life?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You never know, you know at any point, you know,
all of us are subject to, you know, saying goodbye
and heading to the next life. So when you have
the good moments in life, you ought to be able
to celebrate it the way you want to celebrate it.
And if you're gonna afford Madison Square Garden and good
for you, Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What you hear that sound? Yeah, running out of Linda's
head listening to this. Okay, you're probably gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's not as fun as in the next two minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, it's not as fun if she's not responding to it.
Because the only reason I brought it up yesterday because
I knew it would piss her off.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I just knew this.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
She likes to start the show every day and try
to get me mad. She thinks, she swears, I do
a better show if I'm angry before the show.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't agree with that. You're very petty. I think
you know that you're very petty. Who's very petty?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Both of you are very petty. You're Tom petty, she's
Richard petty. You're just both petty.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Uh man, all Right, we got a lot to get
to today. There is now the emergence of a completely
new paradigm, a new model, these are as I've been saying,
these are uncharted waters. This midterm election year is the
(03:47):
single most unpredictable midterm election year. If anyone tells you otherwise,
they don't know what the hell they're talking about, that
I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And it's unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But because there's never been a party that has been
taken over by the most radical, the most extreme.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Elements.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And there's this other part that I keep pointing out
that I don't think people are paying enough attention to,
and that is that the the other Democrats that normally
would say, you're crazy, this is nuts. No, you shouldn't
be anti Semitic. No, the Green New Deal, we can't
(04:35):
afford it. No, socialism doesn't work. That there's nobody but
John Fetterman. And apparently now Joe Manchin, who's not in
the Senate anymore, has joined with Fetterman. I think he's
telling Fetterman to just get the hell out of the
Democratic Party because they've gone so nuts. And for years
(04:56):
when he was in the Senate, I mean, he was
being pushed in the same direction. So it's it's like
all bets are off now. If you look at historical trends,
the party in power that would be Donald Trump's party,
the Republican Party. Historically they tend to lose seats in
the House and the Senate in midterm election years.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's it's it. But this is not your normal midterm
election year.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You now have the look not only do you have
and I won't go through chapter and verse on grand Platnir.
I won't go through chapter and verse on six gender.
God is non binary and he's championing the right of
biological men to have access to abortion. Teller Rico or
El Sayad out there campaigning with Hassan Piker, who you
(05:50):
know proudly, you know, went out there and claims that
America deserved nine to eleven. Not only was he campaigning,
how did this guy become like the Democratic star that's
out on the campaign trail for many of these Democrats
because the same guy was out there for this me
lot Kiros who won in Colorado, and we're going to
(06:13):
get into Colorado and what's going on out.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
There as well.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But this is now like a cancer growing within the
Democratic Party. But it's a cancer that's not being addressed usually.
I mean if there is a cancer, you address it.
You know, there was a time where there were Democrats
that would speak out against you know, virulent anti semitism.
(06:40):
I don't hear any Democrats speaking out against those that
have radical anti Semitic views anymore. I don't hear a
single one of them. I mean, you listen to this
woman Heiros, you know, bragging about the socialist takeover of
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We'll get into that later in the program.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
She's saying that we're not going to wait to abolish Ice,
want's medicare for all you go through you know the
record for example, you know New York is is okay?
You think, well, New York is New York. New York
elected Mamdanni and we I had this debate last night
on TV with Comrade Bill de Bosio. I mean, compared
(07:23):
to Mandami, he's a moderate. Now we'll play this, We'll
play this, this interview, this debate that we had last night,
because it was very hard to pin him down and
get a straight answer as to whether or not he
will be voting. You know for this what's the name
(07:43):
of the woman Chevalier is how do you pronounce her name?
That is what's up Shelley A, Okay, I don't want
to mispronounce people's names. They think you do it on purpose.
I'm not doing it on purpose. So she was able,
along with the other two people that were endorsed by Momdani,
to unseed a long term serving member of Congress in
(08:06):
these primaries that took place on Tuesday in New York
City or we're in New York and you know, this
is a person that ran on a platform that called
for the government to seize the means of production, the
government to seize private property, the government to seize people's
private homes. She has called for the police to be
(08:30):
completely abolished. She wants to abolish America's prisons, abolish America's borders.
I don't even know what that means. That what we
are just an open border country. Anybody can come in
any place, anywhere, anytime. I mean, this is this is insanity.
She even goes as far as to say she doesn't
(08:52):
want anybody deported that, you know, people that didn't respect
our law's borders, sovereignty, not even criminal illegals, convicted criminal
illegals convicted of rape and murder. She doesn't want to
to port them, you know, after October the seventh and
the massacre in Israel by Hamas, which is their own charter,
(09:17):
calls for the destruction of Israel. She was out there
the very next day at a pro Hamas rally in
Times Square in New York City, a woman that bragged
about using the American flag to wipe her hands. You know,
was a key member of a group dedicated to quote
eradicating America. How does such a person now emerge as
(09:43):
I guess the likely winner of this seat in New York,
And how is it that not one Democrat in New York,
Chuck Schumer, Hakim Jeffries, Hakim Jeffries I think actually congratulated her.
Chuck Schumer hasn't said anything. Well, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem
(10:04):
Jefferies have not figured out yet. And I'll figure it
out for them, and I'll be on the record saying this.
They've just not figured out that their days are numbered.
They're done, because they are next on the list of
people that are going to be primaried and and pretty
much kicked out of the party. Now you probably will
(10:26):
have a move by by Chuck Schumer. Oh, I'm seventy five.
I've had a great career. I don't want to run
for office anymore because he knows if AOC or an
AOC endorsed candidate among Donnie endorsed candidate, or to ever
run against him in a primary in New York's there's
(10:49):
not a shot in hell that he's gonna win. And
for Hkeem Jefferies to congratulate this crazy lady, and by
the way, there were two other crazy people, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not the only one.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Tells you that they are living in a state of fear.
When there's not a single member of the Democratic Party
that will will dare criticize Graham Platner and everything we
have told you about him, or El Saiad who's out
there campaigning with Hassan Piker who says America deserved nine
(11:25):
to eleven, or you know six gender tell A Rico
and God is non binary tell Rico, and you know
every other bizarre position of tell Rico. It just describes
the current state of the Democratic Party. So what does
this mean. It means that this is not only an
(11:45):
unpredictable year, but these are kind of uncharted waters. And
I can't think of a time in the last one
hundred and fifty years where a party has gone this
radical and this extreme. Now there are some people predicting,
I think James Carvel was one of them, that, well,
maybe a third a third party is going to emerge.
(12:07):
There's no third party that I can see emerging that's
going to be an antidote to this radicalism that is
now a cancer that is spreading cross country. I mean,
it's it's not just New York. Now we're looking at Maine.
Now we're looking at Michigan. Now we're looking even at Texas.
(12:28):
Then we're looking at Colorado and the I think the
bigger part of this is where's the rest of the
Democratic Party. Where are the people that don't really want
a guy that had a Nazi tattoo for twenty years
running for the US Senate in Maine against Susan Collins.
(12:51):
You know, where are the where where's that me too
movement of the Democratic Party that would you know, go
absolutely ballistic if any Republican ever attacked any woman that
was a victim of sexual assault or even rape, because
that's how that's Graham Platner or hung out and put
(13:16):
pictures of himself on a towel that is known where
young people hang out and all the communications that he
won't release, which we could only imagine the reason why.
And so this is now the party of you know,
(13:37):
it's just not a party that I recognize. And now
they're embracing pull blown socialism. A new poll shows that
this Democratic Socialists of America supporters are now quote rich,
white college college educated liberals.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What that really means.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
A Pew Research poll had the highest support from white, younger,
upper income college educated party members, despite their claim of
standing against the elite of society and for the working class.
Four and ten upper income Democrats also say they like
Democratic socialists, compared to thirty four percent of middle income
(14:17):
Democrats and twenty four percent of low income Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So what does this mean?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This means that Republicans have if they if they play
this right, they have the best opportunity to wagh out
perform any expectations that anybody is laying out for the
mid terms when that comes around in November. And we
will be reminding you every day and the only thing
(14:46):
I'm asking this audience is to make a pledge in
your heart, mind, and soul you're going to vote this midterm.
You're not going to let these lunatics take over our country.
One of the things I've been saying that I'm standing by.
I mean, after these these three lunatics won in New York,
Aquem Jeffries, you know, put out a nice tweet congratulating
(15:09):
his new comrades that had been endorsed by Mamdani. Chuck
Schumer has said nothing. What neither one of these guys know.
They first of all, they they don't have any influence
and they don't have any power. That's why I say
minority leaders in name only. What they don't know and
what they obviously are afraid of, and their fear is
(15:34):
probably going to be realized sooner than later, is that
their days are numbered. In the case of Schumer, his
days in the Senator numbered, and the days of Hakeem
Jeffries in the House are numbered because they, like so
many other Democrats, that they're gonna be primaried. You know,
(15:56):
this this rise of radical socialism. Now when you hear
and we played this earlier in the week, I won't
play it again now. But you know democrats from Connecticut
like Chris Murphy, you know, as nutty as he's been,
he's never been, you know, one of these crazy Mamdani squad,
aoc you know, Grandpa Bernie or Pocahontas kind of Democrats.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He just has it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And now he's welcoming all of these new radicals to
the Democratic Party with open arms.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And we played that this week.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
We look at the positions now that are becoming mainstream
in the Democratic Party along with adopting this virulent anti Semitism,
which we have chronicled a lot on the show. Look
at Graham Platina, for example. He just came out and
he said, I don't think men playing in women's sports
(16:51):
should be banned.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Here's what he said. That's gonna be a state question.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's a state question. But I'm running for federal office.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But you don't have an opinion on what you think
for the transgenderils you're playing high school sports, whether.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
They oh, I don't think. I do not think they
should be banned. I think banning people from playing in
sports in the gender that they see themselves as and
identify as doing that in a wholesale way is going
to be restrictive of people's rights.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That is why I think the odds of Grand Platinum
winning in the state of Maine are pretty low. There's
like six gender tel A Rico or tell Rico out
there saying God is non minery, or advocating the or
championing the rights well not only for men to biological
(17:43):
men to play women's sports, but also championing the rights
of biological men to have access to abortion. Now, I
don't know, Maybe it's just me, Maybe I just missed
the boat on this, but I didn't know. I wasn't
taught in school that biological men were capable of giving
(18:06):
birth to children. Now, if something has changed and I'm
not up to speed on it, and you happen to
know the answer to it, please let me know, because
I don't know the answer to that. You know, And
then of course they're pushing for universal everything, cradle to
grave everything. An interesting answer from zoron Marxist Kami Mamdani. Now,
(18:27):
this is one of the things about socialism that a
lot of people don't pay a lot of attention to,
is they expect a lot of sacrifice from people, and
you have to wonder why, Like, for example, New York
City residents now are finding out what Mamdani meant when
he promised that they'd soon be feeling quote the warmth
(18:50):
of collectivism. Now the northeast has a heat wave going on,
and I don't know, temperatures expected to hit well over
one hundred degrees today. And you know, Marxist Mamdani, you know,
sent out a heat wave alert this morning, warning his
constituents that unless they cut back on air conditioning that
(19:11):
New York City's power grid might collapse, and that sparked
a viral outrage when he responded to the heat wave
by instructing residents, sounds like Jimmy Carter, put on a sweater,
lower the you know, lower the temperature in your house
because we can't. We don't have enough oil to heat
our homes. And you got to sacrifice, so Mamdani actually said,
(19:35):
and he was asked, he's asking business owners to set
their thermostats to seventy eight degrees. Now, I live in
the Free State of Florida, and at this time of year, yeah,
temperatures where I live, because I'm fairly coastal, live pretty close.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I'm near the coast.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You know, it gets to ninety five, you get a
coastal breeze, which kind of lowers the temperature. If you
live or inland in Florida, it can get over one
hundred degrees. It can be really hot. You know, I
like my air conditioner at seventy degrees. You know, Jason,
what do you like your temperature set out at home?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
What do you like?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
The temperature app usually about seventy two, seventy three, seventy
four degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, So most people want it, you know, a
nice cool room. You know, some people may want sixty eight.
Some people might want seventy like me, some people might
want seventy three. Nobody wants in the middle of the summer,
when it's one hundred degrees outside, have to set their
thermostat to seventy eight degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to
seventy eight degrees to alleviate the stress on our power grid.
Every worker in New York City has the right to
a safe workplace, and that includes safety in extreme heat.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
We last private companies to sacrifice, just as private citizens
must do. All of us must learn to waste less energy.
Something about keeping out thermostats, for instance, at sixty five
degrees in the daytime and fifty five degrees at night.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
He's talking about in the middle of winter.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And he's telling Americans that was Jimmy Carter telling Americans
to wear sweaters.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now you have the New York City Democratic Socialist co
chair guy by the name of Gustavo Gordio saying that
we will be trying to influence the next presidential primary
and we'd be thrilled if AOC does enter the race.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Do you think it's too early for me to ask
if the path to the presidency for a Democrat is
going to run through DSA.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
I think that we will be trying to influence the
next presidential primary, and it's still too soon to say how, yeah,
to say who you know? I think that many in
the organization would be very thrilled if Alexandria Costio Court
ended up running, But ultimately that's her decision and we'll
(22:03):
be in conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know that tell Rico says that God is non
minery and all these years that I prayed the Lord's prayer,
which starts with our father, and I don't know how
he reads the Lord's prayer or says the Lord's prayer,
but or if he even does say the Lord's prayer,
but it's very bizarre and anyway, so Gestavo is you know.
(22:34):
He also says, if I can pray, my prayer is
I want AOC to be their candidate.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Now I might be wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I wanted Jasmine Crockett to win in Texas, and then
it ends up tell Rico wins.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I had no.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I didn't know that much about tell Rico, and then
the more I learn about tell Rico, the more I'm
convinced that he's going to be, you know, more easy
to beat. Anyway, here's Gustavo Cordio again, the NYC Democratic
Socialists of America co chair, not allowing Palestinians to speak
(23:15):
at the DNC convention.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Do you say, see a window there to communicate with,
to work with a figure like Harris who angered and
outraged so many of your members.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Where does that relationship go?
Speaker 8 (23:33):
I'll say that we really prioritized the congressional races this
cycle because we knew that our performance in these races
would become the measure of our power and it would
influence how the political establishment orients toward us. After we
won the mayoral race, we saw in New York State
(23:54):
figures like Kathy Hokel who were really you know, had
been aligned with the establishment, they started to adopt some
of our platform. We were able to reach a major
step toward universal childcare, I think as a result of
that election. And it's not surprising to me that now
that we have so many more electoral victories under our belt,
that people are trying to learn from that, I hope,
(24:16):
but I think it's still too early to say. You know,
there were huge mistakes made. I think in the twenty
twenty four presidential race. You know, not even allowing a
Palestinian to speak at the DNC convention is something that
people will not soon forget. So having conversations, I think
is always welcome, but it's really seeing if they lead
(24:38):
to action.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And we'll see what that heads. Now here's the again.
Now we go back to the interesting part. Ro Kana
always kind of wanted to portray himself as a somewhat
moderate Democrat, and for ro Kana now to come out,
he seems to be going full bore radical leftist, just
like apparently Kamala Harris is now reaching out to Mom
(25:04):
Donnie and trying to garner favor with him.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
And I think you're going.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
To see a lot more of this, and that is
that they want to reach out to the Democratic Socialists
of America and get their support.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But here's Rocanna.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Yesterday was a big night for progressives Colorado shows a
new generation of progressives like Melant are building a new
and bold Democratic party. It's time for the old guard
to step aside. A lot of people are asking me
what I make of these progressive wins. I say the
era of cliches that politicians deliver with charisma and charm
(25:39):
is over. This is a time for courage. Voters want
to know where you stand on the tough issues and
whether you will fight for real change in our unfair
and lopsided economic and political system. Are you for single
pair healthcare, for taxing the wealth of billionaires, for stopping
these foreign wars, for recognizing the genocide in Gaza, for
(26:03):
abolishing and replacing ice for workers over AI, for money
out of politics. This is not an age for triangulation
or obfuscation. We're in a moment of transformational change in
this country and I'm calling on our party to listen
to voters demanding more from us.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Here's what they've not factored in. They have not factored
in that most Americans are watching this madness, unfold and
defund the police. Again, you go back to this woman
that won in New York and the people that have
been endorsed by Mamdani, and you listen to the positions
(26:47):
that they have taken, and you know, then you listen,
then you just pay very close attention a person that
you know call for the government to seize means of production,
people's homes, no private property, police abolished them, the abolish
America's prisons, abolished borders. Don't support anybody, even somebody convicted
(27:07):
of rape and murder that's here illegally celebrating October seventh,
et cetera, et cetera. So now there's not a single
Democrat but for John Fetterman that'll dare speak out against them.
So what impact does that have on an election? And
if you can, you name any mid term election where
these circumstances ever existed like this before. Now, the Democratic
(27:31):
Socialist Communist that one, you know this primary says, by
the way, this is after Hakeem Jeffries endorsed her. Now
she says, no, she doesn't support Hakeem Jeffries as the
leader of the Democratic Party. I mean, you can't make
that that that's I guess the thanks you get for
(27:52):
you know, for Hakeem Jeffries pretty much selling out any
past belief that he might have had.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Add to that, of course, the you know, position on
open borders and you know, defund and dismantle and no
bail laws, and you know they don't want energy dominance
or energy independence. By the way, Tim Walls tampon Tim.
Apparently the Minnesota Board of Pardons has cleared a convicted
(28:24):
illegal alien child sex offender that was facing deportation. Great job,
tampon Tim. I mean, only only Tim Walls would take
that position. The New York Times actually today pointed out
that employment figures for June show that America's economy continues
to stride past obstacles, including the inflationary pressures of this
(28:48):
conflict with Iran. By the way, the price of a
barrel of oil today was sixty eight bucks a barrel.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
At its height, it was one hundred and twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
The President's demanding oil companies lower those prices sooner than later,
unemployment felled today. And what they pointed out in the
New York Times that you know that the resilience of
the American economy and the unemployment rate has now been
at or below four point five percent since October twenty
(29:18):
twenty one, the longest streak of low unemployment since the
long expansion in the late nineteen sixties. Oh and wait
till John, wait till President Trump's you know, all that
money comes on board. Joe Manchin advising John Fetterman to
leave the Democratic Party. That's a lot coming from him.
(29:39):
That means a lot in my view anyway.
All of you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Right down our toll free telephone number if you want
to be a part of the program. It's eight hundred
and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. Linda,
by the way, is working remote and her microphone's not
working today. How are we going to go a whole
show Jason and Katie without Linda, an entire show without
her weighing in or me aggravating her, or her getting
(00:23):
aggravated at something I'm saying. I was going to bring
up again Taylor Swift's wedding just to annoy her.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I mean, that's as predictable as the day is long.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Right, they're doing rehearsals today.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh they're doing at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So you know there have been some people that have
been speculating that this is a headfake. I've never thought
this is a headfake. I've always thought this is real.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And you not think they weren't going to get married. No,
I knew they were going to get married.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
The head fake meaning that it's not at Madison Square
Garden and they're acting like it is, and then it
would take place at some other location. But all indications
are according to friends of mine that live in New York.
Madison Square Garden is like surrounded by you know, massive trucks,
and it's going to be this huge ordeal. And I guess,
(01:16):
you know, some people are complaining about it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's I guess the is the wedding? When is it tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Where's that Wedding's tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I believe it is tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'm not really sure why people, you know, are so
worked up about it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It makes no sense to me at all.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
As far as I'm concerned, is two people they met,
they fell in love, They're having a big wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's their wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They planned it, they can afford Madison Square Garden. I
can only imagine what the cost of running out Madison
Square Garden is. And you know, why would anyone wish
them anything other then the best, unless you're just a
jackass that wishes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You know, the worst on people.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm just like, Okay, so they get married, why not
wish them the best? I mean, life is hard enough,
and these are like how many great moments in life
or or moments that you want to be memorable do
people actually get to.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Have in their life?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You never know, you know at any point, you know,
all of us are subject to, you know, saying goodbye
and heading to the next life. So when you have
the good moments in life, you ought to be able
to celebrate it the way you want to celebrate it.
And if you're gonna afford Madison Square Garden and good
for you, Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What you hear that sound? Yeah, running out of Linda's
head listening to this. Okay, you're probably gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's not as fun as in the next two minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, it's not as fun if she's not responding to it.
Because the only reason I brought it up yesterday because
I knew it would piss her off.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I just knew this.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
She likes to start the show every day and try
to get me mad. She thinks, she swears, I do
a better show if I'm angry before the show.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't agree with that. You're very petty. I think
you know that you're very petty. Who's very petty?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Both of you are very petty. You're Tom petty, she's
Richard petty. You're just both petty.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Uh man, all Right, we got a lot to get
to today. There is now the emergence of a completely
new paradigm, a new model, these are as I've been saying,
these are uncharted waters. This midterm election year is the
(03:47):
single most unpredictable midterm election year. If anyone tells you otherwise,
they don't know what the hell they're talking about, that
I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And it's unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But because there's never been a party that has been
taken over by the most radical, the most extreme.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Elements.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And there's this other part that I keep pointing out
that I don't think people are paying enough attention to,
and that is that the the other Democrats that normally
would say, you're crazy, this is nuts. No, you shouldn't
be anti Semitic. No, the Green New Deal, we can't
(04:35):
afford it. No, socialism doesn't work. That there's nobody but
John Fetterman. And apparently now Joe Manchin, who's not in
the Senate anymore, has joined with Fetterman. I think he's
telling Fetterman to just get the hell out of the
Democratic Party because they've gone so nuts. And for years
(04:56):
when he was in the Senate, I mean, he was
being pushed in the same direction. So it's it's like
all bets are off now. If you look at historical trends,
the party in power that would be Donald Trump's party,
the Republican Party. Historically they tend to lose seats in
the House and the Senate in midterm election years.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's it's it. But this is not your normal midterm
election year.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You now have the look not only do you have
and I won't go through chapter and verse on grand Platnir.
I won't go through chapter and verse on six gender.
God is non binary and he's championing the right of
biological men to have access to abortion. Teller Rico or
El Sayad out there campaigning with Hassan Piker, who you
(05:50):
know proudly, you know, went out there and claims that
America deserved nine to eleven. Not only was he campaigning,
how did this guy become like the Democratic star that's
out on the campaign trail for many of these Democrats
because the same guy was out there for this me
lot Kiros who won in Colorado, and we're going to
(06:13):
get into Colorado and what's going on out.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
There as well.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But this is now like a cancer growing within the
Democratic Party. But it's a cancer that's not being addressed usually.
I mean if there is a cancer, you address it.
You know, there was a time where there were Democrats
that would speak out against you know, virulent anti semitism.
(06:40):
I don't hear any Democrats speaking out against those that
have radical anti Semitic views anymore. I don't hear a
single one of them. I mean, you listen to this
woman Heiros, you know, bragging about the socialist takeover of
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We'll get into that later in the program.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
She's saying that we're not going to wait to abolish Ice,
want's medicare for all you go through you know the
record for example, you know New York is is okay?
You think, well, New York is New York. New York
elected Mamdanni and we I had this debate last night
on TV with Comrade Bill de Bosio. I mean, compared
(07:23):
to Mandami, he's a moderate. Now we'll play this, We'll
play this, this interview, this debate that we had last night,
because it was very hard to pin him down and
get a straight answer as to whether or not he
will be voting. You know for this what's the name
(07:43):
of the woman Chevalier is how do you pronounce her name?
That is what's up Shelley A, Okay, I don't want
to mispronounce people's names. They think you do it on purpose.
I'm not doing it on purpose. So she was able,
along with the other two people that were endorsed by Momdani,
to unseed a long term serving member of Congress in
(08:06):
these primaries that took place on Tuesday in New York
City or we're in New York and you know, this
is a person that ran on a platform that called
for the government to seize the means of production, the
government to seize private property, the government to seize people's
private homes. She has called for the police to be
(08:30):
completely abolished. She wants to abolish America's prisons, abolish America's borders.
I don't even know what that means. That what we
are just an open border country. Anybody can come in
any place, anywhere, anytime. I mean, this is this is insanity.
She even goes as far as to say she doesn't
(08:52):
want anybody deported that, you know, people that didn't respect
our law's borders, sovereignty, not even criminal illegals, convicted criminal
illegals convicted of rape and murder. She doesn't want to
to port them, you know, after October the seventh and
the massacre in Israel by Hamas, which is their own charter,
(09:17):
calls for the destruction of Israel. She was out there
the very next day at a pro Hamas rally in
Times Square in New York City, a woman that bragged
about using the American flag to wipe her hands. You know,
was a key member of a group dedicated to quote
eradicating America. How does such a person now emerge as
(09:43):
I guess the likely winner of this seat in New York,
And how is it that not one Democrat in New York,
Chuck Schumer, Hakim Jeffries, Hakim Jeffries I think actually congratulated her.
Chuck Schumer hasn't said anything. Well, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem
(10:04):
Jefferies have not figured out yet. And I'll figure it
out for them, and I'll be on the record saying this.
They've just not figured out that their days are numbered.
They're done, because they are next on the list of
people that are going to be primaried and and pretty
much kicked out of the party. Now you probably will
(10:26):
have a move by by Chuck Schumer. Oh, I'm seventy five.
I've had a great career. I don't want to run
for office anymore because he knows if AOC or an
AOC endorsed candidate among Donnie endorsed candidate, or to ever
run against him in a primary in New York's there's
(10:49):
not a shot in hell that he's gonna win. And
for Hkeem Jefferies to congratulate this crazy lady, and by
the way, there were two other crazy people, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not the only one.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Tells you that they are living in a state of fear.
When there's not a single member of the Democratic Party
that will will dare criticize Graham Platner and everything we
have told you about him, or El Saiad who's out
there campaigning with Hassan Piker who says America deserved nine
(11:25):
to eleven, or you know six gender tell A Rico
and God is non binary tell Rico, and you know
every other bizarre position of tell Rico. It just describes
the current state of the Democratic Party. So what does
this mean. It means that this is not only an
(11:45):
unpredictable year, but these are kind of uncharted waters. And
I can't think of a time in the last one
hundred and fifty years where a party has gone this
radical and this extreme. Now there are some people predicting,
I think James Carvel was one of them, that, well,
maybe a third a third party is going to emerge.
(12:07):
There's no third party that I can see emerging that's
going to be an antidote to this radicalism that is
now a cancer that is spreading cross country. I mean,
it's it's not just New York. Now we're looking at Maine.
Now we're looking at Michigan. Now we're looking even at Texas.
(12:28):
Then we're looking at Colorado and the I think the
bigger part of this is where's the rest of the
Democratic Party. Where are the people that don't really want
a guy that had a Nazi tattoo for twenty years
running for the US Senate in Maine against Susan Collins.
(12:51):
You know, where are the where where's that me too
movement of the Democratic Party that would you know, go
absolutely ballistic if any Republican ever attacked any woman that
was a victim of sexual assault or even rape, because
that's how that's Graham Platner or hung out and put
(13:16):
pictures of himself on a towel that is known where
young people hang out and all the communications that he
won't release, which we could only imagine the reason why.
And so this is now the party of you know,
(13:37):
it's just not a party that I recognize. And now
they're embracing pull blown socialism. A new poll shows that
this Democratic Socialists of America supporters are now quote rich,
white college college educated liberals.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What that really means.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
A Pew Research poll had the highest support from white, younger,
upper income college educated party members, despite their claim of
standing against the elite of society and for the working class.
Four and ten upper income Democrats also say they like
Democratic socialists, compared to thirty four percent of middle income
(14:17):
Democrats and twenty four percent of low income Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So what does this mean?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This means that Republicans have if they if they play
this right, they have the best opportunity to wagh out
perform any expectations that anybody is laying out for the
mid terms when that comes around in November. And we
will be reminding you every day and the only thing
(14:46):
I'm asking this audience is to make a pledge in
your heart, mind, and soul you're going to vote this midterm.
You're not going to let these lunatics take over our country.
One of the things I've been saying that I'm standing by.
I mean, after these these three lunatics won in New York,
Aquem Jeffries, you know, put out a nice tweet congratulating
(15:09):
his new comrades that had been endorsed by Mamdani. Chuck
Schumer has said nothing. What neither one of these guys know.
They first of all, they they don't have any influence
and they don't have any power. That's why I say
minority leaders in name only. What they don't know and
what they obviously are afraid of, and their fear is
(15:34):
probably going to be realized sooner than later, is that
their days are numbered. In the case of Schumer, his
days in the Senator numbered, and the days of Hakeem
Jeffries in the House are numbered because they, like so
many other Democrats, that they're gonna be primaried. You know,
(15:56):
this this rise of radical socialism. Now when you hear
and we played this earlier in the week, I won't
play it again now. But you know democrats from Connecticut
like Chris Murphy, you know, as nutty as he's been,
he's never been, you know, one of these crazy Mamdani squad,
aoc you know, Grandpa Bernie or Pocahontas kind of Democrats.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He just has it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And now he's welcoming all of these new radicals to
the Democratic Party with open arms.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And we played that this week.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
We look at the positions now that are becoming mainstream
in the Democratic Party along with adopting this virulent anti Semitism,
which we have chronicled a lot on the show. Look
at Graham Platina, for example. He just came out and
he said, I don't think men playing in women's sports
(16:51):
should be banned.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Here's what he said. That's gonna be a state question.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's a state question. But I'm running for federal office.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But you don't have an opinion on what you think
for the transgenderils you're playing high school sports, whether.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
They oh, I don't think. I do not think they
should be banned. I think banning people from playing in
sports in the gender that they see themselves as and
identify as doing that in a wholesale way is going
to be restrictive of people's rights.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That is why I think the odds of Grand Platinum
winning in the state of Maine are pretty low. There's
like six gender tel A Rico or tell Rico out
there saying God is non minery, or advocating the or
championing the rights well not only for men to biological
(17:43):
men to play women's sports, but also championing the rights
of biological men to have access to abortion. Now, I
don't know, Maybe it's just me, Maybe I just missed
the boat on this, but I didn't know. I wasn't
taught in school that biological men were capable of giving
(18:06):
birth to children. Now, if something has changed and I'm
not up to speed on it, and you happen to
know the answer to it, please let me know, because
I don't know the answer to that. You know, And
then of course they're pushing for universal everything, cradle to
grave everything. An interesting answer from zoron Marxist Kami Mamdani. Now,
(18:27):
this is one of the things about socialism that a
lot of people don't pay a lot of attention to,
is they expect a lot of sacrifice from people, and
you have to wonder why, Like, for example, New York
City residents now are finding out what Mamdani meant when
he promised that they'd soon be feeling quote the warmth
(18:50):
of collectivism. Now the northeast has a heat wave going on,
and I don't know, temperatures expected to hit well over
one hundred degrees today. And you know, Marxist Mamdani, you know,
sent out a heat wave alert this morning, warning his
constituents that unless they cut back on air conditioning that
(19:11):
New York City's power grid might collapse, and that sparked
a viral outrage when he responded to the heat wave
by instructing residents, sounds like Jimmy Carter, put on a sweater,
lower the you know, lower the temperature in your house
because we can't. We don't have enough oil to heat
our homes. And you got to sacrifice, so Mamdani actually said,
(19:35):
and he was asked, he's asking business owners to set
their thermostats to seventy eight degrees. Now, I live in
the Free State of Florida, and at this time of year, yeah,
temperatures where I live, because I'm fairly coastal, live pretty close.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I'm near the coast.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You know, it gets to ninety five, you get a
coastal breeze, which kind of lowers the temperature. If you
live or inland in Florida, it can get over one
hundred degrees. It can be really hot. You know, I
like my air conditioner at seventy degrees. You know, Jason,
what do you like your temperature set out at home?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
What do you like?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
The temperature app usually about seventy two, seventy three, seventy
four degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, So most people want it, you know, a
nice cool room. You know, some people may want sixty eight.
Some people might want seventy like me, some people might
want seventy three. Nobody wants in the middle of the summer,
when it's one hundred degrees outside, have to set their
thermostat to seventy eight degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to
seventy eight degrees to alleviate the stress on our power grid.
Every worker in New York City has the right to
a safe workplace, and that includes safety in extreme heat.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
We last private companies to sacrifice, just as private citizens
must do. All of us must learn to waste less energy.
Something about keeping out thermostats, for instance, at sixty five
degrees in the daytime and fifty five degrees at night.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
He's talking about in the middle of winter.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And he's telling Americans that was Jimmy Carter telling Americans
to wear sweaters.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now you have the New York City Democratic Socialist co
chair guy by the name of Gustavo Gordio saying that
we will be trying to influence the next presidential primary
and we'd be thrilled if AOC does enter the race.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Do you think it's too early for me to ask
if the path to the presidency for a Democrat is
going to run through DSA.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
I think that we will be trying to influence the
next presidential primary, and it's still too soon to say how, yeah,
to say who you know? I think that many in
the organization would be very thrilled if Alexandria Costio Court
ended up running, But ultimately that's her decision and we'll
(22:03):
be in conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know that tell Rico says that God is non
minery and all these years that I prayed the Lord's prayer,
which starts with our father, and I don't know how
he reads the Lord's prayer or says the Lord's prayer,
but or if he even does say the Lord's prayer,
but it's very bizarre and anyway, so Gestavo is you know.
(22:34):
He also says, if I can pray, my prayer is
I want AOC to be their candidate.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Now I might be wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I wanted Jasmine Crockett to win in Texas, and then
it ends up tell Rico wins.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I had no.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I didn't know that much about tell Rico, and then
the more I learn about tell Rico, the more I'm
convinced that he's going to be, you know, more easy
to beat. Anyway, here's Gustavo Cordio again, the NYC Democratic
Socialists of America co chair, not allowing Palestinians to speak
(23:15):
at the DNC convention.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Do you say, see a window there to communicate with,
to work with a figure like Harris who angered and
outraged so many of your members.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Where does that relationship go?
Speaker 8 (23:33):
I'll say that we really prioritized the congressional races this
cycle because we knew that our performance in these races
would become the measure of our power and it would
influence how the political establishment orients toward us. After we
won the mayoral race, we saw in New York State
(23:54):
figures like Kathy Hokel who were really you know, had
been aligned with the establishment, they started to adopt some
of our platform. We were able to reach a major
step toward universal childcare, I think as a result of
that election. And it's not surprising to me that now
that we have so many more electoral victories under our belt,
that people are trying to learn from that, I hope,
(24:16):
but I think it's still too early to say. You know,
there were huge mistakes made. I think in the twenty
twenty four presidential race. You know, not even allowing a
Palestinian to speak at the DNC convention is something that
people will not soon forget. So having conversations, I think
is always welcome, but it's really seeing if they lead
(24:38):
to action.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And we'll see what that heads. Now here's the again.
Now we go back to the interesting part. Ro Kana
always kind of wanted to portray himself as a somewhat
moderate Democrat, and for ro Kana now to come out,
he seems to be going full bore radical leftist, just
like apparently Kamala Harris is now reaching out to Mom
(25:04):
Donnie and trying to garner favor with him.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
And I think you're going.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
To see a lot more of this, and that is
that they want to reach out to the Democratic Socialists
of America and get their support.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But here's Rocanna.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Yesterday was a big night for progressives Colorado shows a
new generation of progressives like Melant are building a new
and bold Democratic party. It's time for the old guard
to step aside. A lot of people are asking me
what I make of these progressive wins. I say the
era of cliches that politicians deliver with charisma and charm
(25:39):
is over. This is a time for courage. Voters want
to know where you stand on the tough issues and
whether you will fight for real change in our unfair
and lopsided economic and political system. Are you for single
pair healthcare, for taxing the wealth of billionaires, for stopping
these foreign wars, for recognizing the genocide in Gaza, for
(26:03):
abolishing and replacing ice for workers over AI, for money
out of politics. This is not an age for triangulation
or obfuscation. We're in a moment of transformational change in
this country and I'm calling on our party to listen
to voters demanding more from us.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Here's what they've not factored in. They have not factored
in that most Americans are watching this madness, unfold and
defund the police. Again, you go back to this woman
that won in New York and the people that have
been endorsed by Mamdani, and you listen to the positions
(26:47):
that they have taken, and you know, then you listen,
then you just pay very close attention a person that
you know call for the government to seize means of production,
people's homes, no private property, police abolished them, the abolish
America's prisons, abolished borders. Don't support anybody, even somebody convicted
(27:07):
of rape and murder that's here illegally celebrating October seventh,
et cetera, et cetera. So now there's not a single
Democrat but for John Fetterman that'll dare speak out against them.
So what impact does that have on an election? And
if you can, you name any mid term election where
these circumstances ever existed like this before. Now, the Democratic
(27:31):
Socialist Communist that one, you know this primary says, by
the way, this is after Hakeem Jeffries endorsed her. Now
she says, no, she doesn't support Hakeem Jeffries as the
leader of the Democratic Party. I mean, you can't make
that that that's I guess the thanks you get for
(27:52):
you know, for Hakeem Jeffries pretty much selling out any
past belief that he might have had.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Add to that, of course, the you know, position on
open borders and you know, defund and dismantle and no
bail laws, and you know they don't want energy dominance
or energy independence. By the way, Tim Walls tampon Tim.
Apparently the Minnesota Board of Pardons has cleared a convicted
(28:24):
illegal alien child sex offender that was facing deportation. Great job,
tampon Tim. I mean, only only Tim Walls would take
that position. The New York Times actually today pointed out
that employment figures for June show that America's economy continues
to stride past obstacles, including the inflationary pressures of this
(28:48):
conflict with Iran. By the way, the price of a
barrel of oil today was sixty eight bucks a barrel.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
At its height, it was one hundred and twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
The President's demanding oil companies lower those prices sooner than later,
unemployment felled today. And what they pointed out in the
New York Times that you know that the resilience of
the American economy and the unemployment rate has now been
at or below four point five percent since October twenty
(29:18):
twenty one, the longest streak of low unemployment since the
long expansion in the late nineteen sixties. Oh and wait
till John, wait till President Trump's you know, all that
money comes on board. Joe Manchin advising John Fetterman to
leave the Democratic Party. That's a lot coming from him.
(29:39):
That means a lot in my view anyway.
