Sean Hannity examines what he sees as an emerging effort by progressive Democrats to distance themselves from controversial positions on policing, immigration and the Democratic Socialists of America platform ahead of the midterms. He highlights newly surfaced comments from Hasan Piker and questions why Democratic candidates continue to associate with figures who have made inflammatory statements about America and the Constitution. Hannity also revisits the stunning polling misses in recent Michigan and Wisconsin primaries and argues that inaccurate polls can affect voter turnout. The hour also turns to the WNBA’s ongoing debate over transgender athlete eligibility and the league’s response to criticism. With Election Day 82 days away, Hannity warns listeners that the ideological battle inside the Democratic Party could have major consequences in November.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And thanks all of you for being with us eighty
two days the single most important midterm in your lifetime,
and we've got a ton of stuff to get to
in the course of today's extravaganza. Linda's upset that she
didn't get to open the show, but that was just
a rare moment of insane busyness in my life.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Anyway, thank you for being with us.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We'll get to calls today eight hundred nine four one
Sean Bruce Blakeman closing the gap in New York against
Kathy Hoakle. Good news, drugs are Sarah Carter will be
with us. How is it possible that Francesca Hang, who's
winning by twenty plus points in poll after poll after poll,
loses on election day?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How is it? Hasam?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
How is it not el sayed, friend of Asampiker. How
is that possible that he was winning by so much
and barely pulled it out. I mean, you can't even
make that part up. We have so much that we're
going to get to in the course of this program today.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I got to tell you something.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know, I'm not going to start with this except
to let you know what is happening. You are watching wokeism.
Now I've noticed what what what's her name? AOC had
to say, Oh, no, no, no, woke one point zero was crazy,
woke one was crazy. We didn't And then you hear Bernie.
(01:25):
Nobody that I know wants to defund the police. It's
on their website. They're two hundred and fifty elected DSA candidates.
I'm telling you this website is going to change. Take
your pictures now, memorialize it, and then they are going
to adapt a We need to lie to the American
people's strategy to try to win elections, and they will
(01:45):
hide and deny who they really are because I'm sure
internal polling is showing them that most of the American
people think that they are Craig Craig crazy, and it is.
It's just not going to work out well if they
keep going down this road. And that's why AOCA and
Grandpa Bernie did not support Francesca Hang. And that's why
(02:08):
the Democrats. Now Democrats are gutless, no moral clarity, no
moral courage at all. They won't condemn these lunatics by word.
But Democrats spend a ton of money. They spent it
in in Michigan against Elsaiah. They spent it in Wisconsin
against Francesca Hang. But they are not changing who they are.
(02:28):
They're changing strategies to hide who they are. That is
what they're doing. By the way, this is insane. The
w NBA people don't learn, you go woke, you go broke.
We learned a lot with the butt light controversy, and
Dylan Movaney, if we learned a lot, I mean, they
(02:49):
hurt themselves so badly. Now I think they're recovering to
a certain extent. I think that there does come a point,
you know, I've seen their commercials change dramatically. They now
advertise with Dana White in the UFC, And Dana White
made that decision after looking at the entire picture of
bud Light's history, all the work they've done for veterans
(03:11):
and good causes, and at some point he says, one
mistake by some advertising guru head, you know, should not
be a life sentence.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I totally respect the decision.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I think, you know, we've all said, we've all fallen short,
and we you know, sometimes have to give people, you know,
the benefit of the doubt. It's called forgiveness and move on. Okay,
fair enough, now, the w NBA is doubling down on dumb,
dumber and stupid on this whole thing. So the league
(03:47):
met they would convene the task Force to figure out
what a woman is. I don't know, they should have
brought in as a special guest speaker sixth gender tell
a Rico. That's my thought anyway, So they bring this
task force together. They did this on Wednesday, and they
emerged out of the meeting without being able to define
(04:12):
what a woman is. It's it's so stupid. But it's
not just stupid, it's bad business. They're gonna they're gonna
kill off the league, and you know, so this is
what they came out with with their statement that today's
meeting convened a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions
on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed
(04:36):
at players online. Now, by the way, a lot of
hate them against me online. I don't wish that for
these players. And you know what, you anonymous keyboard warriors
in your parents' basement, you know, naked or in your underwear.
Just you know why these people, they just have nothing
better to do with their lives, but they hate on people.
If you don't like somebody, don't follow them, don't listen
to them, don't don't be a part of it. I
(04:56):
mean you have you have to have a lot of
time on your hands. Some of these anonymous keyboard warriors
have nothing to do. They need a job or something
to keep them busy. Anyway, so leg goes on. We
will continue to engage all league stakeholders in coming weeks
and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and
in alignment with the values of our league.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Immediate eligibility matters affecting the WMBA. Well, actually, you have
a number of men now, including enniscantor Freedom, that are
on record straight up saying that they want to be
a part of next year's draft. So actually they do
have a certain urgencies urgency to this. There are no
(05:43):
immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA. Yes there is, and
that is you're going to have to decide whether or
not you are going to allow biological men to be drafted,
and you're going to make that decision, and I hate
to tell you that decision is imminent. That would be
an immediate eligibility matter. And then the WNBA took the
(06:09):
corporate escape patch, dodge the question, lash out at critics,
kick the can down the road because they don't have
a clue how to deal with this. You know, they
still haven't responded to Klay Travis's offer, which I think
is awesome ten million dollars to play the men's high
school basketball team of his choice last year's champions I mean,
(06:32):
dealing with the top team from last year. Ten million
dollars to the winner. He pointed out something to me
last night on TV that that's more than they make
in any given year. I'm like, well, that's an easy
ten million dollars. Are you're so confident that there are
no differences. He's talking about a high school boys basketball team.
(06:53):
You know, they're really young men at that point, I guess.
But whatever it is, it is what it is. Why
would you not take them?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Mind?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Why would you not go for it? I don't know,
doesn't make any sense. Linda, you sending me that text
or no? Before I move on to other issues of
the day. Oh you did, Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So we have new tape of this lunatic Hassan Piker
son Piker. Apparently he's very fond of me. Apparently he's
been and I found out from some lunatic that actually
listens to Hassan Piker, and he he said that, you know,
my name comes up a lot. Apparently somebody on my
staff reached out to him before we knew who he
(07:37):
really was about being a guest on a podcast. You know,
it's like, I would never put these crazy white nationalists,
lunatic racist, Nazi neo Nazi supporting people. I don't have
any interest in debating that kind of insanity. You know,
a guy that says he wants, you know, the streets
to run red in the blood of landlords, I don't
(08:02):
want on the show America Deserves nine to eleven. I'm
not interested in that either. I'm not interested in having
a conversation or platforming somebody like that. That's my choice.
I'm not calling for them to be canceled. I'm not
calling for them to not have a platform. I'm not
calling for boycotts. I've never done that my entire career.
(08:24):
I just don't have you know, I don't have any
desire to talk to what I think is stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
That's my personal choice, and I think I have to
make decisions based on what I think the audience wants
to hear. Is a part of it. People like, you know,
a verbal fight. People want that badly, and there's an
entertainment factor to it. And I like being you know,
entertaining on all of this. And we have played all
this stuff. We deserve nine to eleven. The picture behind
(08:56):
him of the twin towers being hit, it just it's
soul repulses me that I can't even imagine it, to
be very blunt with you anyway. So there's a new tape.
There's a new tape out of this guy. Uh and
one of the things he's saying that he would, uh, well, let's.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Play it for you. I fought the Constitution. I we
to the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
It's a piece of paper, dude, Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Mother for the Constitution and mother for this country. Okay,
you stupid.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh, we want more immigrants to come into your county
countries and when and then they're gonna f your sisters
and then your daughters. Who talks like this, who talks
like this? We're happy to destroy the white race and
(09:54):
then the B word via you know, can I say
that on radio. I don't even know any can't keep
up with these rules.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
You cannot say anything in right now until ten o'clock
at night. So we need to be super careful and
warn everybody. This is your warning that this is some
very you know, rated R stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Okay, but I can cuss on my podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You can allude, you can allude to what is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Allude to what all right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
What else am I missing here about this guy that
the streets should run red, with the river of the
blood of the of landlords run red. The streets run red.
America deserves nine to eleven. And you got a guy
like Elsaiat and he's a highly sought after endorser, and
he went absolutely nuts over the loss of Francesca Hang
(10:47):
in Wisconsin the other night on his show, and here's
what he said.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Already sat the inside the mind of a late deciding
Crowley voter. A number of late deciding Democratic Primary voters
who spoke the NBC News in Madison too. They ended
up voting for Crowley, one of the Malley plumbers that
have hung. I really back a lot of what she's saying.
The DC label doesn't shine me away, you know, in fact,
I probably would lean more towards that. Okay, I don't
want to read this because I will kill myself with
a gun in a video game.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I don't want to hear this.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I I can't, I can't. I'm in a good mood overall.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I want to put boomers in the machine, in the contraption,
and not just boomers. Like anyone that says that I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't do it. That nothing
triggers me to no end, Like a guy who's like,
I really like Francisco Hong's policies, but I'm also a
stupid guy who is diapers, and I will be soilent
green one day because I'm so dumb. It's like, pundit, brain,
(11:36):
I can't, I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You're gonna catch me on voters. I don't like voters.
It's always our fault. It's always the campaign's fault. It's
always our fault. We didn't try hard enough. Okay, we
didn't try hard enough. We didn't try hard enough. That's
what happened. That's what happened. We should have tried harder.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Did He also say that he uh with the Constitution,
exaid I. I think he said something to the effect,
tell me if I'm right or wrong, Linda, I don't
want to get it wrong that he wipes his backside
with the American flag and the average American is utterly depraved.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He said it about both things.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
He said he wanted to be very intimate with the
Constitution because it was just a piece of paper, and
he said that he would wipe his backside with the
American flag.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Now, okay, now he's free to say that. We live
in a free country. And there's a lot of dumb
people now that have a microphone. Many years ago, I predicted,
We're all right, why did you not bleed? Did you
hit the dumb button? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
We got it? It's dumped, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
All right, can you give us the PG version when
we get back this way, people will know what the
heck you just did. They accidentally forgot to take out
or bleep out of worse, it's actually very funny, but
we have something called a delay, and usually the delay,
(12:59):
more more often than not, is for Linda, which is
kind of hard to believe, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is a number
you want to be a part of the program. We
got a lot coming up today, including your calls. Sarah Carter,
our drugs.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Are will join us now.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
We have been discussing at length the written printed on
their website, DSA platform eliminate the Senate Congress, you know, eliminated,
and the way we know it with the Senate gone,
and how we choose a president, the judiciary, amnesty for illegals,
abolished porters, abolish ice and all deportations, the craziest to
(13:45):
fund the Department of War.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's all up there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Establish a wealth tax, eliminate cash bell, abolished prisons and police.
Passed the Green New Deal, which is government run everything,
including government guaranteed, government guaranteed job, government guaranteed daycare, healthcare retirement,
government guaranteed healthy food. You know, the government does so
(14:10):
much well that they've they've given me so much confidence
to trust them with more. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So we had the comments of AOC.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I want to pull these up because AOC goes on
the Sunday program this weekend and she's, you know, I
don't even know who watches these shows anymore, and she
just starts laughing, Oh, defund the police.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That was woke. That was woke one point.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh nobody believes that, And Bernie Sanders saying, I don't
know anybody that wants to defund the police. They've been
saying it repeatedly at nauseum, and I'll tell you why
they're doing this.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But listen first, what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Do you make of those controversial statements. I'm sure you've seen.
I mean, she's you know, the Thanksgiving dust up, she says,
she doesn't, you know, I still believe that, but you know,
the abolished prisons, abolished police, which is also positions that
have been taken by a lot of the progressive candidates
who have won. How do you get around that? Yeah,
(15:12):
not positions that are supported by right.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I mean, I think that a lot of these races,
even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized.
But these races ultimately are local, and all politics are local.
My understanding is that is that Francesca Hang has made
clear her present stances.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
To her life.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
She's moved away from right, she's.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Moved away from it. And I have a local city
councilman that has this saying woke one was crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
One was crazy.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Well, you know, look, people have different views and what
you know as well as I do that the right wing,
that's their job, right they will take what one person
said and put eighty billion dollars of TV ads on
it and make it claim every Democrats supports that I'm
no serious person. Then I know who is running for
office believes in quote unquote defunding the police.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Sorry, they've been saying it left, right and sideways, and
it's right up there on the DSA website that I'm
making a prediction this website, everything listed there is going
to be taken down. I am urging everyone to memorialize
that website, save it because they're going to eat it.
(16:32):
And this ah that woke one was crazy? Oh I
was You're admitting you were crazy and that every one
of your friends was crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Is that what you're going to say?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that you you just totally distance yourself from all this.
All that is is they have come to the conclusion
they can't win with this radical extreme DSA radical socialism
strategy around the rest of the country. But Donnie can win,
AOC can win Bernie Sanders and win in Vermont, but
most people can't win, you know, and this gets to
(17:04):
the heart of how you repressed votes with fake polls
like they had in Michigan with Alsayed and Francesca Hang
in the state of Wisconsin. And now they're going to
hide who they really are. That is going to be
the emerging strategy. But you know, one of the interesting
points in this, both the Olsayed race and the Francesca
(17:27):
Hang race, is that Democrats were working very hard to
defeat both these candidates. That means elected Democrats my understanding,
my sources telling me Chuck Schumer included, and they were
funding a lot of these people's campaigns against the DSA members.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
However, this still only remains.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
One elected official that will speak out against them, and
that's John Fetterman. I saw Chris Matthews went on Liberal
Morning Joe and said no Democrats running for office afternounce
the quote crap coming from the Democratic Socialism of America. Okay,
he's saying it, you know, saying the DSA has done
a favor to the non DSA Democrats. Where are the
(18:10):
elected Democrats now condemning them? Those people are scared to
death because they are fearful they will be primaried like
Mamdani primaried three incumbents and beat all three of them. Well,
what happened in Colorado, what's happening in other parts of
the country as well. I mean, they're not changing who
they are. We have two hundred and fifty elected DSA
(18:33):
members in the country since twenty nineteen. We'll have forty
more on the ballot this election year. Now, Okay, it's
one thing for Bill mart to say it, is one
thing for Joe Manchin to say it. Is one thing
for you know, David Axelrod or Van Jones or James
Carvel to say it, and now Chris Matthews to say it.
But they're not elected officials, and so deep down they
(18:55):
don't like them because they're working to prevent them from
getting a elected. But they don't have any moral conviction
at all. They are a bunch of spineless, gutlass wonders,
and they won't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come out against them.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This stuff that we're putting together on Hassan Piker is
going to blow your mind. I'm telling you, he's warning
the knives will come out. After Francesca hang fell in
Wisconsin in this upset, arguing during his live stream, democratic
established figures will work harder to stop insurging candidates because
(19:29):
they no longer underestimate the progressive movement.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's right on that point.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
They are now going to work against them, and Piker
not only appeared with elsayed, but also with congress Woman
omar At an August rally. In the case of omar At,
a campaign portrayed the loss as a warning for socialists
seeking to build on recent primary victories. It will be
(19:55):
more difficult though, because the establishment will not underestimate us.
It will go continue to undermine us, but they will
not underestimate us, so the knives.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Will be out.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So this is now a huge intramural battle. But again,
elected officials won't say what mar is saying, and what
you know, Joe Manchin, Joe Manson is not elected anymore,
or what the only elected officials John Vetterman, or what
Carvil is saying, or what the rest of them are saying.
So understand that this is all one big strategy to
(20:30):
deceive people, and they're going to be just like Abigail
Spamberger and Joe Biden hiding in the basements. I'm Piker cheering,
I Ma'm donni Aid going beast mode with impoverished the
white middle class remark. You know, you know the guy
that claimed nine to eleven that he prays on zoron
(20:50):
Marxist Kami Mam Donnie, one of his aides, was in
the middle of a long riff mocking Bill Maher over
you know, his comments about the socialist platform, reminding or
responding to mars comments critical of this. You know, there
is an all out civil war for the soul of
this party, progressive progressive finger pointing over this. Francesca hank
(21:16):
loss has just begun. You know, Bernie and AOC are
directly responsible for the loss. Washington Examiner reporting that Hans's
narrow loss in Wisconsin sparked a progressive blame game, with
some on the left arguing that AOC and Bernie Sanders
could have tipped the gubmernatorial primary in the socialist candidate's favor.
(21:36):
Nathan Robertson, editor in chief of the left leaning Current
Affairs magazine, wrote Wednesday that Bernie and AOC are directly
responsible for hans loss. Bernie and AOC not endorsing might
have cost her the Democratic nomination. They're pissed, so now
they're going to fight each other. I mean, there's a
(21:58):
whole intramural battle that is now emerging before our very eyes.
It's fascinating to watch. I've never seen anything like this
in my life. But with eighty three days to go
to election day, it's at eighty three. Its eighty three,
we're now at the point where we better pay very
close attention you it's eighty two. Actually, you've got to
(22:21):
you know, understand, this is a clear and present danger.
If you don't want this radicalized group to be in charge,
I'll tell you right now. They get the House, they're
gonna impeach Donald Trump again and again and again and again,
God forbid. They got the House and Senate, then they're
gonna have trial after trial after trial. All progress of
the country will stop. Not gonna be a good time.
(22:44):
And if you're a Trump supporter, maybe you're a Republican
angry with some Republicans, you have a right to be.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
In my view, you do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I'm not happy that they don't, you know, unite more.
I don't like that they have a slim majority. I'd
like to see their majority grow so they can do more.
But you do support Donald Trump, and you don't want
to see the country come to a standstill. You better
get out and vote. If you don't want this country
turned up side now, you better get out and vote.
Cato Institute funding the DSA policy proposals would more than
(23:13):
triple current federal spending. They tally up that bill, the
DSA platform, and all of this will be sent to
the richest individuals and corporations. Tally up that bill and
it comes in between seventy one trillion and two hundred
and twelve trillion in a new spending over the next decade.
Obviously we can't afford that, you know. And it's just
(23:37):
it is. It is a battle that I don't think
I ever anticipated. I never thought real communists and socialists
would ever, you know, be in this position where they
could take over an entire party, which they've done, and
then cower have the rest of their party cower in
fear and unwilling and incapable of even criticizing them. RFK
(24:03):
Junior HUDDS Secretary Scott Turner threatened to cut off funding
for Los Angeles has failed Homeless Industrial Complex, blasting a
system that has received nearly a billion in federal funding
over five years. Holmlessess Well, Gavin no Show, Governor he's
too busy traveling the world and hating on Trump twenty
(24:24):
four to seven. He's this Trump stalker halftime Hannity stalker podcaster.
You know, author that has friends by his book in Bulk,
which was a hilarious story. You know, highest income taxes,
sales taxes, highest gas taxes, highest poverty rate, highest homelessness rate.
(24:46):
And he never shows up hydrants that don't have water
in them, knowing they are predictable wildfire seasons. They don't
practice the science of forestry. Reservoirs empty, no water in
them either. I mean, it is remarkable that this guy
thinks he's going to be president. I don't think he
(25:06):
can get the nomination. I really don't. I think AOC
is to the front runner. You want my opinion as
of now, it's too early to tell, and I don't
really want to focus on it. To be very blunt,
I want us to be laser being focused on this midterm.
You know, I've been trying to get all of you
to understand and have the same sense of urgency of
(25:26):
what's going to be at stake in eighty two days.
That's what I've been trying to do. I've been trying
to warn everybody and tell you that this is very,
very real. And I won't tell you one other thing
we learned this week and last week, after Michigan and
after Wisconsin. How do you have people up by double
digits in the case of Francesca hung twenty plus points. Well,
(25:49):
that has that can prevent people from voting. I don't
need to go vote for my candidate. My candidate has
it in the bag. I can't vote for you know,
the other candidate because uh, you know, for a general election,
I can't vote. What's the point we're down by twenty
and then the woman loses?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That is that?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is that that is impactful for the vote itself eight
hundred and ninety four one Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program,
And thanks all of you for being with us eighty
two days the single most important midterm in your lifetime,
and we've got a ton of stuff to get to
in the course of today's extravaganza. Linda's upset that she
didn't get to open the show, but that was just
a rare moment of insane busyness in my life.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Anyway, thank you for being with us.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We'll get to calls today eight hundred nine four one
Sean Bruce Blakeman closing the gap in New York against
Kathy Hoakle. Good news, drugs are Sarah Carter will be
with us. How is it possible that Francesca Hang, who's
winning by twenty plus points in poll after poll after poll,
loses on election day?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How is it? Hasam?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
How is it not el sayed, friend of Asampiker. How
is that possible that he was winning by so much
and barely pulled it out. I mean, you can't even
make that part up. We have so much that we're
going to get to in the course of this program today.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I got to tell you something.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know, I'm not going to start with this except
to let you know what is happening. You are watching wokeism.
Now I've noticed what what what's her name? AOC had
to say, Oh, no, no, no, woke one point zero was crazy,
woke one was crazy. We didn't And then you hear Bernie.
(01:25):
Nobody that I know wants to defund the police. It's
on their website. They're two hundred and fifty elected DSA candidates.
I'm telling you this website is going to change. Take
your pictures now, memorialize it, and then they are going
to adapt a We need to lie to the American
people's strategy to try to win elections, and they will
(01:45):
hide and deny who they really are because I'm sure
internal polling is showing them that most of the American
people think that they are Craig Craig crazy, and it is.
It's just not going to work out well if they
keep going down this road. And that's why AOCA and
Grandpa Bernie did not support Francesca Hang. And that's why
(02:08):
the Democrats. Now Democrats are gutless, no moral clarity, no
moral courage at all. They won't condemn these lunatics by word.
But Democrats spend a ton of money. They spent it
in in Michigan against Elsaiah. They spent it in Wisconsin
against Francesca Hang. But they are not changing who they are.
(02:28):
They're changing strategies to hide who they are. That is
what they're doing. By the way, this is insane. The
w NBA people don't learn, you go woke, you go broke.
We learned a lot with the butt light controversy, and
Dylan Movaney, if we learned a lot, I mean, they
(02:49):
hurt themselves so badly. Now I think they're recovering to
a certain extent. I think that there does come a point,
you know, I've seen their commercials change dramatically. They now
advertise with Dana White in the UFC, And Dana White
made that decision after looking at the entire picture of
bud Light's history, all the work they've done for veterans
(03:11):
and good causes, and at some point he says, one
mistake by some advertising guru head, you know, should not
be a life sentence.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I totally respect the decision.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I think, you know, we've all said, we've all fallen short,
and we you know, sometimes have to give people, you know,
the benefit of the doubt. It's called forgiveness and move on. Okay,
fair enough, now, the w NBA is doubling down on dumb,
dumber and stupid on this whole thing. So the league
(03:47):
met they would convene the task Force to figure out
what a woman is. I don't know, they should have
brought in as a special guest speaker sixth gender tell
a Rico. That's my thought anyway, So they bring this
task force together. They did this on Wednesday, and they
emerged out of the meeting without being able to define
(04:12):
what a woman is. It's it's so stupid. But it's
not just stupid, it's bad business. They're gonna they're gonna
kill off the league, and you know, so this is
what they came out with with their statement that today's
meeting convened a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions
on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed
(04:36):
at players online. Now, by the way, a lot of
hate them against me online. I don't wish that for
these players. And you know what, you anonymous keyboard warriors
in your parents' basement, you know, naked or in your underwear.
Just you know why these people, they just have nothing
better to do with their lives, but they hate on people.
If you don't like somebody, don't follow them, don't listen
to them, don't don't be a part of it. I
(04:56):
mean you have you have to have a lot of
time on your hands. Some of these anonymous keyboard warriors
have nothing to do. They need a job or something
to keep them busy. Anyway, so leg goes on. We
will continue to engage all league stakeholders in coming weeks
and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and
in alignment with the values of our league.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Immediate eligibility matters affecting the WMBA. Well, actually, you have
a number of men now, including enniscantor Freedom, that are
on record straight up saying that they want to be
a part of next year's draft. So actually they do
have a certain urgencies urgency to this. There are no
(05:43):
immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA. Yes there is, and
that is you're going to have to decide whether or
not you are going to allow biological men to be drafted,
and you're going to make that decision, and I hate
to tell you that decision is imminent. That would be
an immediate eligibility matter. And then the WNBA took the
(06:09):
corporate escape patch, dodge the question, lash out at critics,
kick the can down the road because they don't have
a clue how to deal with this. You know, they
still haven't responded to Klay Travis's offer, which I think
is awesome ten million dollars to play the men's high
school basketball team of his choice last year's champions I mean,
(06:32):
dealing with the top team from last year. Ten million
dollars to the winner. He pointed out something to me
last night on TV that that's more than they make
in any given year. I'm like, well, that's an easy
ten million dollars. Are you're so confident that there are
no differences. He's talking about a high school boys basketball team.
(06:53):
You know, they're really young men at that point, I guess.
But whatever it is, it is what it is. Why
would you not take them?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Mind?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Why would you not go for it? I don't know,
doesn't make any sense. Linda, you sending me that text
or no? Before I move on to other issues of
the day. Oh you did, Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So we have new tape of this lunatic Hassan Piker
son Piker. Apparently he's very fond of me. Apparently he's
been and I found out from some lunatic that actually
listens to Hassan Piker, and he he said that, you know,
my name comes up a lot. Apparently somebody on my
staff reached out to him before we knew who he
(07:37):
really was about being a guest on a podcast. You know,
it's like, I would never put these crazy white nationalists,
lunatic racist, Nazi neo Nazi supporting people. I don't have
any interest in debating that kind of insanity. You know,
a guy that says he wants, you know, the streets
to run red in the blood of landlords, I don't
(08:02):
want on the show America Deserves nine to eleven. I'm
not interested in that either. I'm not interested in having
a conversation or platforming somebody like that. That's my choice.
I'm not calling for them to be canceled. I'm not
calling for them to not have a platform. I'm not
calling for boycotts. I've never done that my entire career.
(08:24):
I just don't have you know, I don't have any
desire to talk to what I think is stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
That's my personal choice, and I think I have to
make decisions based on what I think the audience wants
to hear. Is a part of it. People like, you know,
a verbal fight. People want that badly, and there's an
entertainment factor to it. And I like being you know,
entertaining on all of this. And we have played all
this stuff. We deserve nine to eleven. The picture behind
(08:56):
him of the twin towers being hit, it just it's
soul repulses me that I can't even imagine it, to
be very blunt with you anyway. So there's a new tape.
There's a new tape out of this guy. Uh and
one of the things he's saying that he would, uh, well, let's.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Play it for you. I fought the Constitution. I we
to the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
It's a piece of paper, dude, Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Mother for the Constitution and mother for this country. Okay,
you stupid.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh, we want more immigrants to come into your county
countries and when and then they're gonna f your sisters
and then your daughters. Who talks like this, who talks
like this? We're happy to destroy the white race and
(09:54):
then the B word via you know, can I say
that on radio. I don't even know any can't keep
up with these rules.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
You cannot say anything in right now until ten o'clock
at night. So we need to be super careful and
warn everybody. This is your warning that this is some
very you know, rated R stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Okay, but I can cuss on my podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You can allude, you can allude to what is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Allude to what all right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
What else am I missing here about this guy that
the streets should run red, with the river of the
blood of the of landlords run red. The streets run red.
America deserves nine to eleven. And you got a guy
like Elsaiat and he's a highly sought after endorser, and
he went absolutely nuts over the loss of Francesca Hang
(10:47):
in Wisconsin the other night on his show, and here's
what he said.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Already sat the inside the mind of a late deciding
Crowley voter. A number of late deciding Democratic Primary voters
who spoke the NBC News in Madison too. They ended
up voting for Crowley, one of the Malley plumbers that
have hung. I really back a lot of what she's saying.
The DC label doesn't shine me away, you know, in fact,
I probably would lean more towards that. Okay, I don't
want to read this because I will kill myself with
a gun in a video game.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I don't want to hear this.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I I can't, I can't. I'm in a good mood overall.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I want to put boomers in the machine, in the contraption,
and not just boomers. Like anyone that says that I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't do it. That nothing
triggers me to no end, Like a guy who's like,
I really like Francisco Hong's policies, but I'm also a
stupid guy who is diapers, and I will be soilent
green one day because I'm so dumb. It's like, pundit, brain,
(11:36):
I can't, I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You're gonna catch me on voters. I don't like voters.
It's always our fault. It's always the campaign's fault. It's
always our fault. We didn't try hard enough. Okay, we
didn't try hard enough. We didn't try hard enough. That's
what happened. That's what happened. We should have tried harder.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Did He also say that he uh with the Constitution,
exaid I. I think he said something to the effect,
tell me if I'm right or wrong, Linda, I don't
want to get it wrong that he wipes his backside
with the American flag and the average American is utterly depraved.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He said it about both things.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
He said he wanted to be very intimate with the
Constitution because it was just a piece of paper, and
he said that he would wipe his backside with the
American flag.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Now, okay, now he's free to say that. We live
in a free country. And there's a lot of dumb
people now that have a microphone. Many years ago, I predicted,
We're all right, why did you not bleed? Did you
hit the dumb button? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
We got it? It's dumped, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
All right, can you give us the PG version when
we get back this way, people will know what the
heck you just did. They accidentally forgot to take out
or bleep out of worse, it's actually very funny, but
we have something called a delay, and usually the delay,
(12:59):
more more often than not, is for Linda, which is
kind of hard to believe, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is a number
you want to be a part of the program. We
got a lot coming up today, including your calls. Sarah Carter,
our drugs.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Are will join us now.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
We have been discussing at length the written printed on
their website, DSA platform eliminate the Senate Congress, you know, eliminated,
and the way we know it with the Senate gone,
and how we choose a president, the judiciary, amnesty for illegals,
abolished porters, abolish ice and all deportations, the craziest to
(13:45):
fund the Department of War.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's all up there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Establish a wealth tax, eliminate cash bell, abolished prisons and police.
Passed the Green New Deal, which is government run everything,
including government guaranteed, government guaranteed job, government guaranteed daycare, healthcare retirement,
government guaranteed healthy food. You know, the government does so
(14:10):
much well that they've they've given me so much confidence
to trust them with more. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So we had the comments of AOC.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I want to pull these up because AOC goes on
the Sunday program this weekend and she's, you know, I
don't even know who watches these shows anymore, and she
just starts laughing, Oh, defund the police.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That was woke. That was woke one point.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh nobody believes that, And Bernie Sanders saying, I don't
know anybody that wants to defund the police. They've been
saying it repeatedly at nauseum, and I'll tell you why
they're doing this.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But listen first, what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Do you make of those controversial statements. I'm sure you've seen.
I mean, she's you know, the Thanksgiving dust up, she says,
she doesn't, you know, I still believe that, but you know,
the abolished prisons, abolished police, which is also positions that
have been taken by a lot of the progressive candidates
who have won. How do you get around that? Yeah,
(15:12):
not positions that are supported by right.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I mean, I think that a lot of these races,
even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized.
But these races ultimately are local, and all politics are local.
My understanding is that is that Francesca Hang has made
clear her present stances.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
To her life.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
She's moved away from right, she's.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Moved away from it. And I have a local city
councilman that has this saying woke one was crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
One was crazy.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Well, you know, look, people have different views and what
you know as well as I do that the right wing,
that's their job, right they will take what one person
said and put eighty billion dollars of TV ads on
it and make it claim every Democrats supports that I'm
no serious person. Then I know who is running for
office believes in quote unquote defunding the police.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Sorry, they've been saying it left, right and sideways, and
it's right up there on the DSA website that I'm
making a prediction this website, everything listed there is going
to be taken down. I am urging everyone to memorialize
that website, save it because they're going to eat it.
(16:32):
And this ah that woke one was crazy? Oh I
was You're admitting you were crazy and that every one
of your friends was crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Is that what you're going to say?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that you you just totally distance yourself from all this.
All that is is they have come to the conclusion
they can't win with this radical extreme DSA radical socialism
strategy around the rest of the country. But Donnie can win,
AOC can win Bernie Sanders and win in Vermont, but
most people can't win, you know, and this gets to
(17:04):
the heart of how you repressed votes with fake polls
like they had in Michigan with Alsayed and Francesca Hang
in the state of Wisconsin. And now they're going to
hide who they really are. That is going to be
the emerging strategy. But you know, one of the interesting
points in this, both the Olsayed race and the Francesca
(17:27):
Hang race, is that Democrats were working very hard to
defeat both these candidates. That means elected Democrats my understanding,
my sources telling me Chuck Schumer included, and they were
funding a lot of these people's campaigns against the DSA members.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
However, this still only remains.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
One elected official that will speak out against them, and
that's John Fetterman. I saw Chris Matthews went on Liberal
Morning Joe and said no Democrats running for office afternounce
the quote crap coming from the Democratic Socialism of America. Okay,
he's saying it, you know, saying the DSA has done
a favor to the non DSA Democrats. Where are the
(18:10):
elected Democrats now condemning them? Those people are scared to
death because they are fearful they will be primaried like
Mamdani primaried three incumbents and beat all three of them. Well,
what happened in Colorado, what's happening in other parts of
the country as well. I mean, they're not changing who
they are. We have two hundred and fifty elected DSA
(18:33):
members in the country since twenty nineteen. We'll have forty
more on the ballot this election year. Now, Okay, it's
one thing for Bill mart to say it, is one
thing for Joe Manchin to say it. Is one thing
for you know, David Axelrod or Van Jones or James
Carvel to say it, and now Chris Matthews to say it.
But they're not elected officials, and so deep down they
(18:55):
don't like them because they're working to prevent them from
getting a elected. But they don't have any moral conviction
at all. They are a bunch of spineless, gutlass wonders,
and they won't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come out against them.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This stuff that we're putting together on Hassan Piker is
going to blow your mind. I'm telling you, he's warning
the knives will come out. After Francesca hang fell in
Wisconsin in this upset, arguing during his live stream, democratic
established figures will work harder to stop insurging candidates because
(19:29):
they no longer underestimate the progressive movement.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's right on that point.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
They are now going to work against them, and Piker
not only appeared with elsayed, but also with congress Woman
omar At an August rally. In the case of omar At,
a campaign portrayed the loss as a warning for socialists
seeking to build on recent primary victories. It will be
(19:55):
more difficult though, because the establishment will not underestimate us.
It will go continue to undermine us, but they will
not underestimate us, so the knives.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Will be out.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So this is now a huge intramural battle. But again,
elected officials won't say what mar is saying, and what
you know, Joe Manchin, Joe Manson is not elected anymore,
or what the only elected officials John Vetterman, or what
Carvil is saying, or what the rest of them are saying.
So understand that this is all one big strategy to
(20:30):
deceive people, and they're going to be just like Abigail
Spamberger and Joe Biden hiding in the basements. I'm Piker cheering,
I Ma'm donni Aid going beast mode with impoverished the
white middle class remark. You know, you know the guy
that claimed nine to eleven that he prays on zoron
(20:50):
Marxist Kami Mam Donnie, one of his aides, was in
the middle of a long riff mocking Bill Maher over
you know, his comments about the socialist platform, reminding or
responding to mars comments critical of this. You know, there
is an all out civil war for the soul of
this party, progressive progressive finger pointing over this. Francesca hank
(21:16):
loss has just begun. You know, Bernie and AOC are
directly responsible for the loss. Washington Examiner reporting that Hans's
narrow loss in Wisconsin sparked a progressive blame game, with
some on the left arguing that AOC and Bernie Sanders
could have tipped the gubmernatorial primary in the socialist candidate's favor.
(21:36):
Nathan Robertson, editor in chief of the left leaning Current
Affairs magazine, wrote Wednesday that Bernie and AOC are directly
responsible for hans loss. Bernie and AOC not endorsing might
have cost her the Democratic nomination. They're pissed, so now
they're going to fight each other. I mean, there's a
(21:58):
whole intramural battle that is now emerging before our very eyes.
It's fascinating to watch. I've never seen anything like this
in my life. But with eighty three days to go
to election day, it's at eighty three. Its eighty three,
we're now at the point where we better pay very
close attention you it's eighty two. Actually, you've got to
(22:21):
you know, understand, this is a clear and present danger.
If you don't want this radicalized group to be in charge,
I'll tell you right now. They get the House, they're
gonna impeach Donald Trump again and again and again and again,
God forbid. They got the House and Senate, then they're
gonna have trial after trial after trial. All progress of
the country will stop. Not gonna be a good time.
(22:44):
And if you're a Trump supporter, maybe you're a Republican
angry with some Republicans, you have a right to be.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
In my view, you do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I'm not happy that they don't, you know, unite more.
I don't like that they have a slim majority. I'd
like to see their majority grow so they can do more.
But you do support Donald Trump, and you don't want
to see the country come to a standstill. You better
get out and vote. If you don't want this country
turned up side now, you better get out and vote.
Cato Institute funding the DSA policy proposals would more than
(23:13):
triple current federal spending. They tally up that bill, the
DSA platform, and all of this will be sent to
the richest individuals and corporations. Tally up that bill and
it comes in between seventy one trillion and two hundred
and twelve trillion in a new spending over the next decade.
Obviously we can't afford that, you know. And it's just
(23:37):
it is. It is a battle that I don't think
I ever anticipated. I never thought real communists and socialists
would ever, you know, be in this position where they
could take over an entire party, which they've done, and
then cower have the rest of their party cower in
fear and unwilling and incapable of even criticizing them. RFK
(24:03):
Junior HUDDS Secretary Scott Turner threatened to cut off funding
for Los Angeles has failed Homeless Industrial Complex, blasting a
system that has received nearly a billion in federal funding
over five years. Holmlessess Well, Gavin no Show, Governor he's
too busy traveling the world and hating on Trump twenty
(24:24):
four to seven. He's this Trump stalker halftime Hannity stalker podcaster.
You know, author that has friends by his book in Bulk,
which was a hilarious story. You know, highest income taxes,
sales taxes, highest gas taxes, highest poverty rate, highest homelessness rate.
(24:46):
And he never shows up hydrants that don't have water
in them, knowing they are predictable wildfire seasons. They don't
practice the science of forestry. Reservoirs empty, no water in
them either. I mean, it is remarkable that this guy
thinks he's going to be president. I don't think he
(25:06):
can get the nomination. I really don't. I think AOC
is to the front runner. You want my opinion as
of now, it's too early to tell, and I don't
really want to focus on it. To be very blunt,
I want us to be laser being focused on this midterm.
You know, I've been trying to get all of you
to understand and have the same sense of urgency of
(25:26):
what's going to be at stake in eighty two days.
That's what I've been trying to do. I've been trying
to warn everybody and tell you that this is very,
very real. And I won't tell you one other thing
we learned this week and last week, after Michigan and
after Wisconsin. How do you have people up by double
digits in the case of Francesca hung twenty plus points. Well,
(25:49):
that has that can prevent people from voting. I don't
need to go vote for my candidate. My candidate has
it in the bag. I can't vote for you know,
the other candidate because uh, you know, for a general election,
I can't vote. What's the point we're down by twenty
and then the woman loses?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That is that?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is that that is impactful for the vote itself eight
