Thank you.
Thank you.
Today is Wednesday, May 31st, 2023, episode number 339.
Please remember to like, share, subscribe, and hit the notification button so you know when we go live.
You're in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd.
Hey there, Cat.
How are ya?
Hey, hey, hey.
What's happening today?
Feels like Tuesday, don't it?
Sure does, actually.
That Monday holiday always screws with you the rest of the week.
You think Wednesday's Tuesday, Thursday's Wednesday.
Well, I named the show.
It was really funny.
I had it as my placeholder as Monday, and they're like...
I had so many littermates that said, well, okay, if you want it to be Monday, fine.
We'll act like it's Monday for you.
I'm going, okay, this is what I mean.
This is why I don't like breaks, because then I come back all rusty, and I have to relearn everything, so...
Yes, but it is Wednesday.
We actually got to buy a day, so it's going to be a shorter week this week, which is great, but we have got a huge guest that is going to join us in about 30 minutes.
So excited.
The Persistence.
Scott Pressler is going to be in the litter box with us today.
Cannot wait.
Huge.
Huge politically and huge physically.
He's like 6'8 or something.
Oh my gosh.
I am so excited to talk to Scott.
I really have been looking forward to this one for a long, long time.
Yeah, we love Scott.
Yes, he is really sweet.
We kind of all grew up together on Twitter and our accounts kind of rose together at the same time.
Oh, I mean, he's just really just such a patriot out there willing to roll up his sleeves, get the hard work done.
And you know what?
He's going to be in L.A. this weekend, which is really cool.
Oh, Lord.
Lower Alabama?
I'll go see him.
That's close to me.
No!
Los Angeles!
I know you would prefer it be the other way around.
But it's going to be a great, great time.
And so I cannot wait to hear what kind of projects he has in the works.
He really does.
He fights with everything that he's got.
So we're going to have a real warrior on the show today.
And we're going to have time to ask him some questions, find out how we can organize.
And what to do in order to be prepared for what's ahead.
I mean, you know, it's something else.
We've got a lot of things that are coming down the pipe and the Republicans are continuing to disappoint us at every single turn.
Give us a reason, Republicans, to continue To vote for you and to keep on with this party.
This whole debt ceiling situation.
And then, miraculously, they decide they're going to release the January 6 footage.
I mean, if you questioned the debt deal before, now really question it.
How bad is that deal, right?
Well, they're not releasing it to the public.
They lied again.
I just got on Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's, by the way, voting yes on this ridiculous package.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know what her and McCarthy's got going, but I don't like it, whatever it is.
I saw your tweet here.
Again, the promise was to release it to the public.
Releasing it to three members of the press is a million miles away from that.
And this is being released today to soften the blow of McCarthy caving and screwing us again.
Tired of these games.
It's it.
I mean, they think they can fool us like we're idiots.
It's like, oh, and here they are behind the scenes.
Oh my God, we're taking a beating.
We're taking a beating.
Well, here's what you do.
We'll release the January 6th.
That's the one thing they hate that you promised.
But just don't release it to them, you know.
They might find something.
Release it to...
Three, two members of the press that we pick out and that we, you know, I like Julie Kelly.
I like John Solomon, too.
They seem to be trustworthy people.
But they're not, they're two eyes and they're two, why do they get it?
Why do they get it?
It belongs to us, the people.
It does.
Why do they get it?
Why does the press get it?
Why?
These layers.
You do it just like Elon Musk is the only one that does it.
You put it in a file and you release it to everybody.
Mm-hmm.
There's nothing wrong with that.
What about transparency?
I mean, isn't that what everybody always brags about?
That's what he promised.
It will be released to the public.
It never comes to fruition, does it?
I don't know who their team is.
I don't know who John Solomon's team is.
I like them.
I'm not going to say.
I like the ones they released it to, but...
That wasn't the promise.
It's not it.
Okay, it was promised to be released to 350 million people.
They released it to three people.
That's how far off it is.
Exactly.
I'll just break it down to you in the easiest way I can explain it.
Exactly.
And they're doing it today to soften the blow.
They're doing it right before they vote on this ridiculous package to screw us all, to try to throw your red meat, to try to get off their back.
It's just games.
It's games.
You know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you don't play games.
She didn't until this, whatever's happening with McCarthy.
But, you know, this is political games.
I tried to tell everybody that got excited when they were saying, hey, we got to get McCarthy in there so we can vote on the 87,000 agents.
We're going to get rid of them 87,000 agents.
And everybody's like, I had people tweeting me that I thought knew about politics.
If they just need to get somebody in there so we can get rid of these IRS agents.
I'm like, that was an actual bill signed by both the Senate and the House and the President.
It's got to go through the whole process to change it again, and it's never going to make it.
That's just baloney.
That's right.
It really is.
And it is definitely a distraction because all of a sudden there is talk about vacating the chair with Kevin McCarthy and they don't want to get hot under the collar.
They know we are furious over this bill and They know to such a degree that they gave Kevin McCarthy a standing ovation.
Are you kidding?
Just to add salt to the wound.
You want to talk about optics.
They knew this was bad news.
I can't with the Republican Party anymore.
I know.
I know.
I don't know if there's one up there.
It's not even a damn liar anymore.
I really don't.
It's pretty bad.
I don't know what it is.
You can take an old country electrician, the most honest person in the world, and they run for Congress, and the day they get up there, it's almost like the colleges.
You go in there wanting to learn math and science and be a pharmacist or something, and you come out worshipping Mao and being a Marxist and hating everybody and hating white people and It's just, I don't know what it is about that town.
It's built and it moves on power and money and greed.
That's what it is.
And it's favors.
It's all glad-handling.
And one pats the other one on the back and makes sure that they keep track of the favors that are owed and that are due.
It's almost like a cartel.
It is a cartel in a lot of ways.
They keep track.
They take names.
Except more rotten with a lot more money.
It is worse.
And they're using our money.
See, that's the difference.
They're not even using their own.
They're using our money to be as lawless as they possibly can.
And that's why nothing gets done.
They try to put all this stuff off for months and months and years and years so that somebody else in another administration has to deal with it later on.
Well, the people that are going to suffer are going to be the kids, the children right now.
They're going to be the ones that have to handle this incredible debt.
And when you look at the particulars of this bill, it is outrageous on its front, side, and back.
We really got it this time.
So when I saw this, immediately my mind, of course, went to that.
You have Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene who says, I'm excited to share the good news that just as I promised, the January 6th tapes are being released on Speaker McCarthy has given, you have Solomon Reports, Julie Kelly, and a third outfit, unfettered access to the January 6th tapes, and their reporting on it starts tomorrow.
And they're going to report what they see, what they deem worthy, what they want to report on, what their news organization decides to move on, what people you've never met decide to report on, and what's important, what's not important, and that's not releasing to the public.
I want to look through it myself.
I want to go through the files.
I mean, I want to look at it.
Yes, absolutely.
And what's so interesting is her last line here.
This is the transparency the American people deserve and I look forward to their reporting.
Well, you promised us that you were going to send it to all of us.
We suggested a couple of different methods.
You could create a website and just start uploading the 44,000 hours of transparency.
So that people can all grab it at their leisure, at their convenience, and let us do like we normally do.
Smart people, technical people.
Yes, and start looking at it.
Believe me, 10,000 people more talented than anybody, no offense to them, than anybody they have on their staff.
There's thousands of people that are genius with this stuff out there.
I'm not one of them.
I'm the opposite of that.
The games they play, and I try to warn everybody because I've been four and a half years on Twitter, but as far as a political junkie, it's been since about 1990, so 33 years I've been following this.
I mean, I listened to Rush almost 30 years, every day that I could.
I'm a total political junkie.
And I know these games.
I know exactly how they're going to work, what they're going to do, how they're going to cave, how they're going to spin it.
And it's all spin.
It's just all a bunch of lies.
They cannot be honest with American people.
Who knows?
They can go to these people behind the scenes and say, hey, I'm going to release this to you, but this is off bounds, this is off bounds, this is off bounds, and this is off bounds.
And of course, they're going to take it no matter what, if they're good people or not, because they want to see it.
And they want to report on it.
It's huge for them, you know, just in their careers.
And I'm not harping on Julie Kelly because I love her.
And John Solomon seems like he's always been somebody you can kind of trust, too.
He seems pretty neutral and pretty, you know, calm and right down the center or, you know, not any weird things, vibes coming off him.
But that's two people, not 350 million.
Here's the other thing that kind of strikes me is that it says here that, as promised, the tapes are being released.
But then right here, okay, so you've got all of this footage.
It takes a while to start going through it.
And yet she says their reporting on it starts tomorrow.
They're going to have to review it.
So does that mean that they've had this video footage for some time now?
I mean, when was it released?
Have they been working on it?
Or are they going to start working on it?
I mean, really, when you think about the magnitude of this and how big it is and how intricate, everything matters.
I mean, when you're looking at video footage, just like when you saw in the Rittenhouse trial, right?
I mean, there are different angles.
There are different views.
It tells a totally different story.
The more eyes on this thing, the better.
So I don't understand why it isn't being released to We the People, considering it's ours.
We own this.
We deserve this.
We've been waiting for this.
And just to put it in a handful of people, surely something is going to be missed.
Just being human.
Now, if all of us were looking at this at the same time, not only would it get out there faster, but it would be in a completely different view.
What you see and what I see are completely different It happens on a regular basis.
So, it just really, the timing of it, too, really is awful, considering.
It just stinks.
I just cringed when I saw it.
I read it right before I got on the show and I said, you have got to be effing kidding me.
This is why.
Because of the debt ceiling.
I mean, yeah.
And this, you know, okay, we'll let Marjorie Taylor Greene do it because, you know, the people like her at the grassroots.
It's just everything they do.
It's planned.
All of it.
Every bit of it.
They do.
They absolutely give me the creeps.
They can't just come at you honest.
They have to say, oh, if we spin it like this, they'll think this.
But if we spin it like this, they'll think this.
And we should do this.
Even the campaigns.
You know, we're going to go over here.
We're going to talk about, you know, we really, you know, we don't have this block.
So we need to go here and talk about this.
Okay?
We need the women vote.
So we want to talk about kids and family and schools.
And then we're over here.
We need this block.
So, you know, this is an army town.
So we want to talk about building up the military.
Can you not just be honest?
That's the one thing I do like about Trump.
The reason Trump pisses everybody off and says a bunch of crazy crap and makes everybody mad is because he's just being honest.
There's no filter.
We've been begging and begging our whole lives for somebody to just quit being a used car salesman politician and come at us straight.
And then when they do, oh, not that straight.
No, I want the polished Mike Pence version of sugarcoating everything like I'm a perfect individual.
You can't have both.
You can't have it.
No, you can't have both.
And actually, I like the fact that he's human and he shows his human side.
I'm so tired of people just sitting up there with their plastic smiles, their helmet hair, and them lying through their teeth to me.
Constantly.
I don't know anybody in my real life that talks like Mike Pence.
Nobody.
And everybody I know in my real life talks like Trump.
You think we sit around going...
The only thing honest about Mike Pence during those debates, I mean, you know, the way he was just handling himself was so fake.
The fly.
I mean, the fly was right.
That's all I think about now.
It reminds me of Flash Gordon.
But it's just ridiculous that they just get up there.
They grandstand.
Then they give the standing ovation to Kevin McCarthy.
He's no different.
He's exactly...
He's worse than Paul Ryan in so many different ways.
He really is.
He is deeply embedded in the swamp.
And when you start reading what this actual bill means to people...
It is a disaster.
It is a disaster.
Exactly.
I got so mad just reading things from it that I couldn't even do it no more.
I know.
Sometimes you just have to put it down and say, I'm doing this.
I know.
It's just we have no representation.
We have none up there in Washington, D.C. They pretend like it's just a big game to them.
And, of course, Mitch McConnell, I can't wait to sign it.
Sure.
Think about this.
Joe Biden's surrogates tweeted today, everybody needs to sign this bill.
They have every single Democrat vote wanting to sign this bill.
Imagine that, a bill so great that Republicans wrote, that every single Democrat is on it, and they got like 40% of Republicans voting for it.
If you don't think you're getting screwed, just think about that for a minute.
Oh, it's so true.
I mean, as soon as I saw him jumping on that bandwagon, I went, oh, wow, there you go.
There you have it.
Do you think that's going to trust you more, Republicans, or less, considering you've got dirty Biden on the case?
I don't think so.
I mean, we know exactly what this whole group is about, and they're trying to save face right now.
This was the wrong time to do it because we can see right through it.
They should have done it way before all of this because I tweet out every single day about those...
Video footage.
That video footage I'm constantly talking about on a regular basis.
And I didn't know if he was looking at my account or not.
Probably not.
He probably has a staffer that does it all.
But I was out there saying, hey, you promised us this.
Now, if he would have done it before this bill, it would have been a nicer little blow.
This?
No.
This just stinks to high heaven.
It really does.
And it really irks me.
It really makes me angry.
What if somebody promised you $100,000?
And they come out and say, hey, just want to know, I told you I was going to give you $100,000, and I did.
I gave it to the mayor of your town that will help you.
I gave another $33,000 to the dog catcher, and I gave it...
And you're like, thanks a lot.
I'm not happy about that.
I mean, it's so ridiculous.
The way it's being done.
It's underhanded.
And anybody with any common sense or follows politics knows it just as soon as they see it.
And it's just, you can't trust these people.
The whole thing is a joke.
It really is.
It's like one big gigantic soap opera and they just get up there and they just lie to our faces.
And I'm tired of it.
I really am.
They should have come clean.
They should have been on track way before all of this nonsense and then caving on this debt ceiling.
So last night, for those of you that are just catching up, the panel that governs debate on the legislation voted seven to six to adopt the rule with Republican representatives Chip Roy, Texas and Ralph Norman, South Carolina, joining the Democrats.
The bill now advances to the floor for debate and a vote Wednesday, probably tonight, just five days before the June 5th deadline.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that the U.S. could default on its debts by that day if the borrowing limit is not raised.
Interesting, though, we can throw more money at Ukraine without a problem.
Again today, $330 more million.
It was $350 million two days ago.
They do this to, again, soften the blow.
They're like, okay, well, when we come out with a $30 billion, it makes everybody mad.
So just every other day, we'll say $350 million.
And that way, we can still give them $200 billion.
Now, think about $200 billion, just whatever state you live in.
Think about $200 billion.
What that could do for your state.
Absolutely.
You think they'd give that much to a state?
They wouldn't even dream about it.
No.
No, no, no.
And somehow it benefits them.
And that's the problem here.
And you've got them all grandstanding, acting, patting each other on the back right now.
You've got a very happy Joe Biden.
I mean, he could not be happier with this whole thing.
This is a win for the Democrats.
I mean, just like Nancy Mace was saying, you basically forfeited it all to a person that cannot even find his pants, okay?
The man is that far gone.
So don't give yourself a big pat on the back with all of this.
And there are going to be implications as a result.
The party is now more divided than ever.
And she is definitely Marjorie Taylor Greene leaning towards a yes on the chef.
I use an F sandwich debt bill.
But she also wants impeachment.
Okay, so I don't know what is going on there behind the scenes, but don't lump them all together.
And that's what they're trying to do.
They're trying to say, see look, we're going after Biden.
See look, we're releasing the video footage from a sham trial that basically has denied patriots their civil liberties.
The stories that are going around about what has happened to these people are heartbreaking on every single level.
They have been denied their civil rights completely.
They are getting jail sentences that are worse than murderers, rapists, child abusers, The whole deal.
That's how they're treating them.
This is definitely a two-tier justice system.
So no, we're not going to celebrate this.
We've been drug through the mud for the past couple of years.
And they've helped it along.
The Republicans have allowed it to continue.
So while you've got 37 Republicans who stand with We the People and won't vote for Biden and McCarthy's flawed uniparty bill, we're starting to see who they are.
You talk about the deal.
Not the same.
What they asked for, the $1.5 trillion, was Congress oversight on how the government regulates the American people, lower energy costs and efficient regulations passed by the House in H.R. 1, common sense work requirements in Medicaid, SNAP,
and TANF, getting rid of the $80 billion for weaponizing 87,000 IRS agents, Removing Biden's unfair student loan bailouts that hurts debt-free Americans like veterans and blue-collar workers, a $131 billion spending cut returned to pre-COVID spending levels, and a cap On growth for 10 years.
What they bought us is completely different from all of that.
Far cry.
They'll say, well, the Democrats say, I want to spend $2 trillion.
So they'll say, okay, we're going to take $5 billion off that.
And you know, we spend $1.95 trillion.
And then the Republicans can come back.
We got you a $5 billion cut.
We're cutting it up.
Hey, did you see where Tara Reade defected to Russia?
Yeah, the woman who said Biden raped her.
Yeah, she's so scared for her life, she defected to Russia.
That's how bad it is over here.
Well, that's what I was saying when I was talking about moving to a different state outside of California.
I said, is it really that, is that far enough?
I don't know.
Here I am in Hollywood.
And I'm going, I don't know, maybe I should start country shopping instead of state shopping because maybe it's not far enough.
But yes, former Biden accuser Tara Reid, she defects to Russia.
So she is the former Senate staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault during the 2020 presidential election.
She's there now.
Interesting, isn't it?
I mean, this is like, I don't know, this news cycle is completely on fire.
So what we got out of this deal, just so everyone knows, $4 trillion price tag.
$4 trillion.
Okay, let that resonate.
It keeps fully intact the IRA subsidies for leftist Green New Deal projects that benefit the pockets of rich elites and And the Chinese Communist Party.
It also keeps Biden's student loan bailout, hurting debt-free Americans and benefiting those in higher education.
More power to the executive branch and weaker regulatory reform, weak work reforms, and no security at our southern border.
Funds 80% for the IRS to target the working class and families.
More deficit, more government spending, more bureaucracy.
Everything we've been trying to fight against this entire time.
That's what's in here.
Unbelievable.
It's just one big cave.
And then, oh, we released the January 6th.
Promises made.
Promises gave.
Please.
They can't even use that anymore.
They really cannot.
It's just annoying at this point.
I don't want to hear about it anymore.
We released it.
We gave it to three people in the press.
We did it.
Yeah.
And then they go and they give him a standing ovation.
It's like promising you an alligator and giving you a lizard.
Yeah.
That's about what it equates to.
It makes me so angry.
So, of course, they give this clown a standing ovation to show that they're united.
They're working real hard for us.
Yeah, right.
After what I just told you.
And now, here you go.
You've got the FBI refusing to turn over subpoenaed Biden bribe document.
Comer says he will take steps.
To seek contempt of Congress vote.
Okay.
Ready when you are.
I've been saying that for a week now, by the way.
Why say it?
Why not just do it?
Yeah.
And he's going to be in contempt.
They're not going to do anything because the DOJ has to prosecute it.
Of course, who didn't show for a subpoena to the sham January 6th committee?
Steve Bannon.
They're trying to put him in prison for it.
It's just two-tiered all over again.
I'm talking about the exact same thing.
Over and over and over again.
They did the exact same thing.
Steve Bannon didn't come for a subpoena.
They tried to put him in prison the rest of his life.
Ray does it, and they're going to send him a mean letter.
Oh, my gosh.
That means nothing at all because there's going to be no juice behind it because the DOJ is not going to prosecute him.
Mm-mm.
They don't prosecute their own.
You know what they're doing all around the world right now?
They should have defunded them immediately.
I know, but they should have defunded the FBI. They have that kind of power.
Subpoenaed him.
Don't even tell him it's coming.
You didn't comply.
I don't need to talk to you about it.
You didn't comply.
Go hard at him.
Go hard at him.
We need to see that.
We need to see that kind of story.
We're never going to see it.
No, we're not.
They've already proven they're not going to do it right now.
I know.
I know.
I told everybody at the beginning of this.
Remember, Trump, you know, I don't agree with Trump all the time.
He endorsed McCarthy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene was endorsing McCarthy.
Me and you were screaming at the top of our lungs for holding the line.
Don't put this guy in.
Just keep doing it.
I know.
I knew what was going to happen.
He's out there tweeting.
He's tweeting all day, and everything he says is 100% horseshit.
I'll save everybody the time of reading 20 tweets that he put out.
It's tweet number one horseshit, tweet number two horseshit, and on down the line.
It's a joke.
It is a joke.
I am just so disgusted.
I am sorry that I feel like this today, but really, when that news came out right before the show, like you said, I went, no, they did not.
They're not trying to distract us.
This is such an obvious way.
Exactly.
That's why they released all this stuff.
They always release the important stuff on a holiday weekend, Friday at 6 o'clock.
Oh yeah, and you've already...
So by the time you have fun all weekend Tuesday, you forget about it.
Certainly.
Well, that's exactly why, like you were saying earlier, what debt ceiling crisis.
Okay, they don't think you're going to add up all the times that they put together another $300 million package.
I mean, this is truly what we have here, a $300 million package.
I guess when they keep announcing it, you get it confused.
Are they talking about the last one, the one day before yesterday, or the one day before that?
No, they're all accumulating, and they're all individuals.
Why are we funding the Ukraine war?
I guarantee you nobody can explain it to me without some bullcrap line about, oh, if Russia takes care of Ukraine, they're coming for Texas next.
They're coming right over to Texas and going to attack Texas.
Why are we funding a war?
So if Germany and France get in a war, are we going to fund that too?
Exactly.
What about India and Pakistan?
Are we going to fund that one, too?
I mean, why is it our responsibility to fund that damn war?
I have no idea.
And I don't mean fund it humanitarian.
I'm always like people that are not in these rotten governments, the rotten Russia government or the rotten Ukraine government.
I'm all for helping the people who have been hurt, the citizens.
That's not what we're doing.
We're giving aid to those, which is a drop in the bucket.
We're giving them bullets and tanks and airplanes and everything else.
Don't think we're not.
Oh, and don't think you're not going to be sending your sons and daughters to the front line at some point, too.
Zelensky's already made that perfectly clear.
That this is the fight we're all in together.
Boots on the ground and all.
It's just a matter of time.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
He doesn't have a problem saying it, but everybody else in government does.
Heck, they haven't even declared it to be a war yet.
So what's the deal?
We're sitting here funding this whole thing and you haven't declared anything?
Yeah, we're just funding it.
They're just funding it.
Well, this is some big news.
Republicans say we've been talking about this to us with our, you know, tinfoil hats on.
Obama was aware of Biden family business dealings.
Of course he was.
Of course he was.
He was very much a part of it.
So you've got the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer who has made the claim that implicated Former President Barack Obama, in regard to allegations involving the family of his then-Vice President, Joe Biden, in an interview, Comer hinted that Obama was aware of the Biden family's questionable international business deals that have been the focus of a years-long federal probe.
Of course they've known.
Sure they've known.
Nothing's gonna happen.
No.
But I'm going to tell you what is going to happen.
Let me tell you something right now.
We have got Scott Pressler who is going to be joining us on the show.
I cannot wait to talk to Scott and find out how he can help us save this country because, my goodness, we are in deep, deep trouble and we need to start digging our way right on out of it.
So I am thrilled to be able to talk to Scott Pressler, the persistence, who will be joining us.
And he looks like he is here right now.
Scott, can you hear me okay?
I can hear you, but can you see me?
I can see you now.
Hello there.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Thanks for having me.
We're so glad to have you.
Scott, honestly, we have been huge fans of yours for quite some time.
We have watched the work that you have done, and we just sit back in awe.
Can you tell us how you got inspired and how this whole journey of yours started?
You're a leader among many, one we need right now.
Thank you.
Well, a little bit of background information.
So I graduated from George Mason University.
That's in Fairfax, Virginia, in Northern Virginia, outside of the swamp in Washington, D.C. And I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
So, of course, I went into politics.
But, you know, this was after President Obama and I couldn't find a job despite applying every single day to dozens of jobs, whatever I could get my hands on.
And I kind of saw my life was, you know, passing me by.
I was walking dogs at the time.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I always wanted a little bit, you know, something more for myself.
And so I applied to a temporary agency and I started working for Alexandria City Public Schools.
First I did T.C. Williams High School, then I did an elementary school.
And during this time, while working at the school, President Obama was re-elected in 2012.
And I just thought to myself, you know, I'm seeing our country going in the wrong direction, and here I am a voter, but what am I doing about it?
You know, I'm on the sideline.
I'm watching as an outsider.
And so I thought to myself, okay...
I'm going to be a part of the solution.
So in 2013, I started volunteering.
Ken Cuccinelli was running for governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and I thought, this is our opportunity.
Let's flip the governorship.
Let's do something for our country, and I can get involved locally here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Well, unfortunately, we were unsuccessful by 50,000 votes, so it was a very close election.
But in 2014, I told myself, Scott, you're going to get a job.
You are going to work in politics.
And so that Christmas break, I spent all of that time applying for jobs in politics and conservative circles.
And within three days of applying to Texas, I heard back and they said, Scott, Move here in two weeks.
I thought it was a joke because we interviewed over the phone.
I didn't do a Zoom meeting.
I didn't do any face-to-face meeting.
And they were telling me to pack my entire life into my vehicle, move halfway across the country to a place I don't know anyone, but I did.
And I went down to work for then Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is now the governor of the great state of Texas.
And I worked as a field representative at that time.
And then I knew that I wanted to spend my life and make this a move that I was going to help better our country and better society by working within politics.
So I spent the next two years helping to defeat Hillary Clinton and elect Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States of America.
And really, my life changed in 2019.
Many of you probably know me from my cleanup efforts.
And it was President Trump who inspired me in 2019 because he was showing what was going on in Baltimore.
He was tweeting videos that Kim Klasek was posting about the state of affairs in the city.
And again, I kind of thought to myself, wait a second.
Everybody's talking about Baltimore.
They're tweeting about it.
They're showing these pictures and these videos that are compelling.
But why is nobody offering a hand?
Why is nobody doing anything to actually solve the problem?
And so I said, okay, I'm going to go to the city and we're going to do a cleanup and The tweet went wild and everybody across the country wanted to help.
And so within seven days, we organized 200 volunteers on a Monday, a work day.
And we had people fly in from Utah.
A family flew in.
We had people drive up from Florida, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware.
They came from all over the country, and with 200 volunteers, we picked up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours in one single day.
And I thought to myself, wait a second.
Oh my gosh, look at what we did as private citizens.
We don't need the government to save us.
If we want to save ourselves, it's going to come from us, we the people.
And so I thought, let's do this everywhere.
And we did.
We organized cleanups in Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Duquesne, Detroit, Houston, Kenosha, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Nashville, Portland, Pittsburgh, Philly, Salem.
And I was even protested for picking up trash on the streets of California.
And so, I'm on this mission now, after 2020, teaching people how to run for office, continued voter registration, helping narrowly, narrowly to flip the house in 2022.
I'm on a mission to make Joe Biden a one-term president.
And I promise to dedicate the next year and a half of my life doing everything I can to make sure that we are electing a Republican president in 2024 that is going to have both a House and Senate that that person can work with in order to pass good conservative legislation.
And that is my story.
Oh, Scott, you are just such an inspiration to so many people.
And we are so looking forward to be able to help you in these efforts.
We really do.
You have got a whole group of littermates that when they heard that you were going to come on and be in the litter box, they went, oh my gosh, sign me up.
I mean, it has been going on for weeks now.
And so we want to know what we can do to help.
Now, a couple of questions and a couple of people have been asking.
Because of your success, you are a constant target of the deep state.
You represent an existential threat to the deep state agenda.
Recently, you were diagnosed with a rare medical condition, which you were able to beat.
You consistently prevail when faced with adversity.
What is your philosophy of dealing with the adversity and prevailing in all of these scenarios?
I think my main philosophy is love.
It's kindness.
It's stubbornness.
It's, like you said, I think people know me as the persistence, right?
Right.
And what I love about the definition of persistence is it actually means to continue on despite resistance.
And that's kind of how my moniker came about, because remember in 2017, after President Trump won, the Democrats were this Resistance and everything was about resisting him and trying to stop him in his tracks.
And I thought, that's so negative.
Why don't we counter the Democrats' message with something positive?
And that's how the persistence was born.
And so I guess if that's how somebody wants to define me in one word, that would be it.
Persistence.
You and Kat Turd both.
Kat, you've had your share, haven't you?
Of what?
Of all of this trashing and all of the bullying and all of the...
I get 50 death threats a day.
What are you talking about?
Exactly.
But I said this before we even started this podcast.
I used to be on every Wednesday on another podcast she was on, and I said this.
In 2019, that we're going to keep losing elections unless we start ballot harvesting where it's legal more than they do, better than they do.
Matter of fact, if they want to do all this ballot harvesting and dump 200,000 in the middle of the night, we dump 300,000 in the middle of the night.
Legally, of course.
Legally, right.
Legally.
Legally.
But they are.
I mean, there's how many states?
I think 13 now?
A ballot harvest is legal, but the thing about it is, and I'm talking about a presidential election only, we have to go in there, and you can't...
I mean, why spend your time in California?
I mean, the ballot harvest is legal in there, but you've got to go to the states that they're doing it legally that will affect the presidential election.
And there's only so many states, right?
So...
I know that you believe this too, that we're not going to win unless we go to those specific states that are swing states, and we have to be better at ballot harvesting than them, legally.
Well, I have a lot to say on this issue, and I mean a lot, but before we dive into something that's more serious, first tell me, how is Yoda doing and the three really cute gray cats that you saved?
Oh, they're doing great.
They're doing great.
I rename them as they get personality.
One's Chubbs, and one's Linksy, and one's Scaredy Cat now.
I got six cats and six dog rescues now.
My family's going to hate me, but if you ever have a cute little orange tabby cat that shows up on your property, please let me know immediately.
Because we used to have a little orange tabby that unfortunately passed away, but he lived a good long life.
And so I'm always hoping that the universe will send us another cute little orange tabby cat.
I saw a bobcat.
A box?
Okay.
I'm sure my family would love a box.
He wouldn't believe some of the things that he runs into over there.
I mean, I have animals too in Hollywood, but they're just of a different nature.
I mean, they just really are not the same.
There was the smallest baby fox out on my porch.
It's not a covered porch, but on my back porch.
I mean, this thing, I can't believe this thing had to be just born a week ago.
I didn't see its mother anywhere, but man, it was little.
These are the babies.
Oh, they're so cute.
I can't even.
Aren't they precious?
I know.
They are so cute.
And when you post them, everybody goes wild because how can you get rid of rescues?
I mean, these are your babies.
And so he ends up with a complete zoo.
And they, I mean, it's hard work to have.
What have you got now, Kat?
Is it 10?
12?
Yeah, 12.
12 rescues.
I mean, it's $3,000 or $3,000 a month just to feed them.
Don't they look just browbeaten and abused?
Oh, no.
These were feral.
These were feral.
He had to catch them.
I mean, climbing up on ladders, he nearly hurt himself completely.
I mean, the whole thing, we were all just kind of holding our breath.
And then he had puppies, of course, and delivered them himself.
I mean, he's a regular Dr.
Doolittle.
No more.
12's my limit, believe me.
He says that now.
He says that now.
I can't.
I physically can't do anymore.
Well, I'm so glad the babies are doing well, but let's dive in since you brought up the subject of ballot harvesting and early voting and how the heck are we going to win in 2024?
Well first, on January 23rd of this year, I launched a PAC called Early Vote Action.
EarlyVoteAction.com.
And so I'm focused on five key states.
Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
And it's for a very mathematical and strategic reason, because we win those states, we've won the necessary 270-plus electoral votes that we need in order to take back the White House.
So it's completely based on strategy.
And some people may say, Why aren't you focusing on Georgia?
Or Michigan?
Or why aren't you also sprinkling in New Hampshire?
And it's well at this present moment, those are the five that in my very limited time and limited resources I'm able to dedicate myself to.
If we find so many volunteers from the litter box that want to help out that I'm able to expand.
Wonderful.
But I'm first focused on those five.
And so let's talk for a second and just lend me your ear for just a few moments as I talk about the reasons why Republicans should consider doing early voting and engaging in an all-of-the-above approach to voting.
Number one.
Let's talk about the Great State 48.
I know there are people who are Cary Lake supporters, as am I, that are listening to this right now out of Maricopa, Arizona.
Guys, what happened in 2022 on Election Day?
Well, we told the Democrats where we were throwing the football.
We literally told them on social media and to their faces what our strategy was.
And our strategy was to vote on one day, Election Day.
And so, the Democrats were able to do early voting, and they were able to do mail-in voting and ballot chasing, right?
And they were able to do that for weeks on end.
And the majority of our people voted on one day.
Well, what happened on Election Day in November of 2022?
The machines, 30% of them, estimation, And so what happened?
And so therefore, it's my contention, guys, that look, if we wait to vote on one day in November of 2024, who's to say that the elections won't go down again?
Or that the power won't go out?
Or that there won't be a pipe that busts like in Georgia?
or who's to say that some shenanigans won't happen that prohibit Republicans from locking in their votes whereas the Democrats will have already locked in tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of votes right going into the election by doing mail-in voting early voting ballot harvesting ballot chasing and any other type of voting that you can imagine number two just give me a couple more minutes to go through this in its entirety please people say to me all the time they say Scott
One day, one vote, one paper ballot.
I hear you.
I understand you.
I acknowledge you.
I understand the logic and sound reasoning behind that.
But we also have to be pragmatic and understand that, guys, look, in California, Oregon, Washington, Connecticut, Rhode Island, even Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, How are we going to change the law in states that we don't control the governorship or that we don't control the legislature?
So unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that mail-in voting and in states like California and Oregon and Nevada, ballot harvesting is going to be legal in 2024.
And so when it comes to one day, one vote, one paper ballot, Did you know that as early as 7.30 a.m.
on Election Day in Harris County, Texas, they ran out of paper ballots.
So our people are trying to do the right thing, right?
They're trying to vote.
They're trying to vote on Election Day.
They come to the polls, all excited to vote for their candidate, and they're told, we've run out of paper ballots.
You can either wait here or come back later.
How many Republicans were disenfranchised because ultimately we showed up on one day Election Day in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania?
They ran out of paper ballots as early as 9.30am, a Republican county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Now, let's bring it home to Pennsylvania for a second.
We all know who John Fetterman is, bless his heart.
You know, we're not going to say anything unkind or untoward.
But going into the election in 2022, the day before the first and only debate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania between Dr.
Oz and John Fetterman, 500,000 Pennsylvanians had already voted in the election.
So what does that mean, Cat Turd and Jules?
That means that if I'm a Democratic operative and four out of five of those voters that voted early were Democrats, that means that I am happy as a clam because I'm saying to myself, oh my gosh, 400,000 of my people have already voted.
I have 400,000 fewer people to contact.
And I have more time to contact low propensity voters that have yet to vote.
And I have more money and resources to contact those people.
Meanwhile, if I'm a Republican and I'm an operative in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I'm freaking out.
I'm biting my nails.
I'm pulling out my hair.
Anxious because I know that my people all like to vote on one day, meaning that I have to contact everybody and I have no time and I have no money.
And while the Democrats are funneling and they are slowly narrowing, narrowing and whittling With surgical precision down to the precinct, the people that they need to vote, I am casting this wide net, wishing and hoping and praying that everybody is going to turn out on one day.
And the last thing that I think is important to note as well.
Is weather.
We had a hurricane watch the day before Election Day in the state of Florida.
And I'll remind you that it was on the west coast of Florida that was devastated by a hurricane just months prior.
And in the state of Nevada, we had a snow storm on Election Day in Reno, in Washoe County, Nevada.
Adam Laxalt lost by 8,000 votes.
Did you know that in November of 2022, in the state of Nevada, 150,000 Nevada Republicans did not vote.
They stayed home.
And even worse, in the state of Nevada, cat turd and jewels, every person receives a ballot.
Every registered voter receives a mail-in ballot.
That means that 150,000 Nevada Republicans didn't even vote.
Open their ballot, fill it out, sign it, date it, seal it, and walk 10 feet to go to their mailbox.
They were either discouraged or demoralized or whatever the reason was.
But the fact of the matter is I want people to know that we have the votes.
And in states like Oregon, where we only lost by 66,000 votes, but 126,000 Oregonian Republicans did not vote, we could control right now the Oregonian governorship.
We could control the Senate seat in Nevada.
The Democrats would not have a Senate majority had our people actually voted in 2022.
And I say this not to discourage any of you, but again, I want you to know We have the voters.
The Democrats, they are just so much better about galvanizing and mobilizing and locking in every single vote.
And so to anybody that's listening to this, that you are election and integrity oriented as I am, The fact of the matter is, guys, if we want to win, we have to use an all-of-the-above approach to voting, and that means, yes, engaging in early voting, early in-person voting, mail-in voting, absentee voting, and we're legal ballot harvesting if we are going to together make Joe Biden a one-term president.
Gotta happen.
You gotta do it.
Everybody that listens to this show, I say it all the time.
We gotta go play their game better than them.
And how do we do that?
People like you.
People with all this energy.
I mean, you know, when it comes to ballot harvesting, how to do it legally, I'm sure you've already got your hands all in.
I mean, how do we help fund you so you can train a thousand Scott Presslers and then they can train a thousand Scott Presslers?
I appreciate that.
Well, you know, people ask me all the time how they can help.
And I certainly appreciate people wanting to monetarily contribute.
But honestly, your time, your time is worth its weight in gold.
And I would love help registering voters.
So for example, this weekend, I'm coming to Los Angeles, California.
And I know some of you may be like, but Scott, Why are you going to California?
You should be going to a swing state.
Guys, if it weren't for California and Oregon and New York, we wouldn't control the House of Representatives right now.
So we can't just let our cities and blue states rot.
We have to, if we are America first, offer solutions to Americans everywhere, regardless of where they live.
That doesn't mean pour all of our money and time.
But it means still offer a hand to help those people.
That's where Jules lives.
I'm right in Hollywood, California.
I'm coming.
I know.
I'm so thrilled about that.
Let's do lunch.
I can show you.
That's coming next.
I can take you all around this town.
And the sad part about it is the Democrat policies have destroyed my state.
And you're seeing the results of them.
The tent cities are not a joke.
They are very much real and people are living out there.
What do you think the life expectancy is on the street?
A couple of years maybe?
So you've got a lot of Democrats that are acting like they care about the human beings and yet they're stepping right on over them.
They're not getting the treatment that they need.
We've got a huge problem with fentanyl and everything with the open borders.
It's all coming into our inner cities.
Our crime is higher levels than it has ever been.
Voting matters.
If you want change, you have got to get involved.
it's not always pleasant.
I understand a lot of us would rather hang out behind our computers and that's all we do.
But hey, they're phone banks.
We can call people.
We can knock on doors.
The problem that I think we have here too is that there really isn't a Republican party to speak of in California.
I I do not receive anything.
I don't get anything in the mail.
I'm going to be honest and tell you that Ronna McDaniel is the biggest disappointment of anything I have ever seen.
That came from me, not you.
I understand.
And I want to make that very clear because we have no direction.
And that's why when we were able to get in touch with you, I said, oh my goodness, Scott, I don't have to badmouth her, but tell us what we need to do so we're not at the mercy of the rhino Republicans.
I can't live like that anymore.
The Republican Party's doing nothing right now about ballot harvesting or nothing.
What are they doing?
Nothing.
So we have to do our own.
That's a couple of criticisms I have, even of some of our base.
And again, this isn't an indictment.
I'm not saying this disrespectfully.
But even sometimes we have to point the fingers back at ourselves and say, well, I was thinking about it actually as I was in the shower getting ready for this interview with y'all.
And I think it's important that when we offer a problem, That we also offer a solution.
But then I was thinking about it further and I thought to myself, no, but that's not even completing it.
We need to A, offer a problem, B, offer a solution, and then C, offer a hand.
And then that circle is going to be completed because you are literally going to be a part of the solution by becoming a part of it.
And so here's some things that people can do to kind of help and how we're going to move forward in this journey together.
So number one, I think the most important thing is a lot of...
I go on Twitter spaces all day, every day.
And if you guys see me in there and I'm not talking and I'm listening, number one, just so you guys know, the only person on this planet that has access to my Twitter account is me.
I've never given out my passcode.
I don't have any staff.
I don't have any employees.
So whenever you tweet from me or a message from me or if I'm in a Twitter space, it's literally me.
And I'm not just lurking and I'm not just a creeper, but I want you guys to know that I'm in there listening because I care about what you guys are saying and I want to learn from you.
And more importantly, I want to know what people care about.
So if I have Congress people or legislators that reach out to me, I'm going to actually going to be Your voice, and I'm going to speak for you to those people so we can try to craft legislation that is going to ultimately benefit people.
Anyway, where I'm going with this is I was in a space the other day that was talking about rhino hunting or something to that effect.
And so if people are unhappy with the party, number one, We're never going to change the party unless we become a part of it, right?
And so if we're not precinct chairs and if we're not engaged in our local Republican party, how are we ever expecting change if we don't create that change from within?
And there are many states across the country that are going to have closed primaries.
So whatever side that you're on, I'm not picking, I'm not endorsing in this presidential primary.
My goal is to win and to set up an infrastructure that whoever is our candidate, that person actually has the ability to win.
But if you love President Trump, if you love Governor DeSantis, if you're a big Tim Scott or Nikki Haley fan, then in states like California, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Kentucky, Louisiana, you must be a registered Republican to vote in a Republican primary.
And in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there are 1.2 million unaffiliated voters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
That means that 1.2 million people are unable to vote in that election.
And so, for example, with early vote action, I have an application that you can download either with your Google Store or your Play Store on either iPhone or Android.
And so here's the goal.
We're going to have lists that you can call on Early Vote Action and we're going to do a poll.
And we're going to say, hey, my name is Scott.
I'm doing a poll.
If the presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?
President Biden?
President Trump?
Governor DeSantis?
Or RFK Jr.?
And if they indicate to us, President Trump or Governor DeSantis, boom.
They just told us they're Republican, right?
And then what we're going to do is tell them, hey, you are not able to vote for X candidate unless you are registered to vote as a Republican.
So please go to PA Voterservices.pa.gov and change your party affiliation easily online and you will be able to participate.
Now why is this so important?
Because that 1.2 million voters are basically, for all intents and purposes, unknowns to us.
So if we use this time effectively and efficiently, strategically, To comb through that data in order to identify Republicans, get them registered as Republicans, that's more data for us, that decreases the Democratic voter registration advantage in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and ultimately will make our life easier in 2024 working to win the Commonwealth, for example, for our Republican candidate.
And so that's the kind of work that we're going to be doing state by state.
Four of the states that I'm working on for the main priority, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and yeah, those four, they all do voter registration by party.
The only state that does not out of the five that I listed is Wisconsin.
And so if we use our time now to get as many of those unaffiliated voters to register as Republican, it's going to make life so much simpler next year.
Oh, definitely.
In fact, I've got a question along that same line from at Megavolts001, who is from Arizona.
And he says, to convert Democrat and unaffiliated voters to Republican, what is the key difference between the conversion process of Dems versus unaffiliated?
What are the chances of success at each?
I would, I mean, if it were me, or if I were you, and I wanted to be the most effective, I would focus on the unaffiliated.
I mean, you know, think about me for a second.
If a Democrat was trying to switch Republicans to Democrat, and they were talking to someone like me, do you think they would have any luck at converting me into a Stacey Abrams supporter, or having me overjoyed?
That's not going to happen.
I agree with what you're saying.
And so if you're going to use your time effectively, I would focus on the unaffiliated voters.
And in many of these cases, we have great data that includes People that voted in primaries, it includes consumer data.
So you're not just getting an unaffiliated voter, you're getting ultimately a likely Republican unaffiliated voter based on data that paints a picture of someone that is going to be more likely to support our message.
And that's why I would choose to do unaffiliated conversion over Dem at this point in time.
Oh, that's a great answer.
It really is inspiring to see what all that you do.
I mean, your energy, your positivity.
We haven't been so positive the last seven years.
Even after we won by a landslide, President Trump, that was the most incredible thing I think the world has ever seen.
They went right after him.
They downgraded it.
They really rained on everybody's parade.
You had families turning against families.
You had this whole entire orange man bad thing that just emerged.
It was the biggest divide our country has ever seen.
How do we go about this next election?
We don't want to get into the dirt again, so to speak.
We want to keep this above reproach.
We need to make sure that we keep that in check.
There was a lot of damage done.
How do we rise above all of that and really focus on the outcome, focus on the issues, getting people to become involved?
They turn their nose at it now.
They don't want to talk about it.
They don't want to engage in it.
And some people even threaten not voting, which I can't believe.
But that's where we are.
I want to speak to that because this is something that is very personal to me.
Well, not so much personal, but I'm experiencing it firsthand.
Look, as I've mentioned, I'm not endorsing in this presidential primary.
And so I'm in a very interesting position because I have people, some, and I'm not Painting with a broad brush.
I want to make that very clear.
I have some President Trump supporters who are really angry with me for not endorsing.
And then I have DeSantis supporters who, because I'm even coming on your show, Cat Turd and Jules, because you guys are Trump supporters, or at least Trump adjacent, they're then attacking me simply because I'm coming on your show.
And I'm like, y'all.
No.
Why are we doing this to each other?
We are on the same team.
Shouldn't the ultimate vision and ultimate goal be to make Joe Biden a one-term president?
I mean, why do people care?
Which candidate we're supporting as a Republican, when we have millions of illegal immigrants coming into our country, when we have jobs that are being shipped overseas to other countries, when we have 300 Americans dying daily from fentanyl, when we have MS-13 that's in our country,
a dangerous criminal illegal alien gang that is committing crimes within our country, when we're on the brink of nuclear war with Russia, You know, shouldn't we be focusing on the bigger picture at hand, which is ultimately winning with conservative policies so we can, you know, actually have a country to save?
And so that would be my overarching message of today's discussion is let's just be kind.
Let's be patient.
Let's deliver our message with grace.
And even if someone is coming at you With an unwarranted attack or if they are untoward to you, just don't stoop down to their level.
Come back at them with kindness.
You know, I was on a space earlier just before y'all and my family, we are Irish and my mom always told me, she said, Scott, the Irish can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you'll enjoy the trip.
And so let's...
Let's give them a good trip and let's do the bless your hearts and let's do it in such a way that we're able to tell them that they shouldn't be engaging in that type of political behavior, but in a way that we still are able to preserve our dignity and ultimate integrity in this situation.
It's really true.
We need to get out of our own way.
We really do.
We've got a goal, and that's to get Biden out of the White House and to get that whole entire administration replaced.
I've been doing this a long time.
I'm almost 60 years old, so I've been doing it longer than everybody else on this show.
And I'm just telling you, I don't know one primary in my life that hasn't been just a total bloodbath.
And then, you know, they get the nominee, and everybody comes together.
So it's a process, and it's happening.
So, you know, they're like, the Republican parties are just killing each other right now.
Well, it's because they're not even having the primary realistically in the Democrat Party.
They're not going to have debates.
They don't have anything.
But believe me, when it's all said and done, and the guy's chosen, the girl's chosen, everybody will come together.
They always do.
But watch out for the infiltrators.
This happened the other day that there was this Twitter account that in it, it said MAGA, Catholic, and it said all these other things that would lead you to believe that it was a conservative.
Come to find out.
We were going through this person's tweets, and back in 2008 or 2012, they were tweeting about supporting President Obama.
So just realize that some of this is not organic.
Some of this is being stoked by the other side who are trying to infiltrate our movement to make us attack each other.
So just be cognizant and aware that that's happening as well.
That's really good advice.
I'm a shit poster, so none of this is in my nature.
Well, one thing I have to say, Scott, I was really excited to see you going in this direction.
And it's really something you put out this tweet today.
If you're a police or correctional officer who can get me inside your jail or prison to register the nonviolent offenders to vote, send me a direct message.
Scott, nice one.
Great idea.
Oh no, honestly, I want to go to the prisons.
I want to go there peacefully and I want to go there not having been sent there.
That's irreparable.
Well, think of it this way, guys.
Think of it strategically if I'm an operative.
Politics is a game of addition, not subtraction.
And so if Republicans are going, I'm not going to talk to this group or this group or that group or this one, we're limiting the small amount of people that we can actually win over as voters.
And so my ultimate goal is, look, I want to grow the tent.
I want to bring my message to people.
I want to earn their vote, and I want to grow the Republican Party.
And think of it this way, to anyone that's going, Scott!
Don't go to the prisons.
Don't go to the jails.
Number one, I know this sounds kind of weird, but I've met a lot of felons.
And a lot of those felons have been Republicans.
So it turns out, you know, the ones that have gotten out of prison and that are, you know, have taken a turn in the right direction.
And that's anecdotal.
But a lot of those people have turned out to be Republican, number one.
But number two, Think of it this way.
If we don't talk to a group of people, the Democrats will.
The Democrats are going to plant those seeds.
The Democrats are going to get their data.
The Democrats are going to get them registered to vote.
And ultimately, the Democrats will take that group, Those people off the table that we will never be able to earn or win over their vote.
They even talk to dead people.
That's how good they are.
And people that are coming across the border, that's a shoe.
I mean, all of a sudden they end up on our voter rolls and we're dealing with a system called ERIC and everything else, which it looks like that's being nipped in the bud in a few key states, which is good.
The machines have definitely gotten the attention of a lot of lawmakers.
That is good.
But how can we help you?
If we wanted to sign up, and this is how we'll end the show, is you give us an overview.
And two, if there's a place to donate, because some of us are old, some of us don't have the energy, some people just can't break away, they're trying to feed their family.
If you can volunteer, I understand that's the most important, but some people are glad to help how they can.
Thank you.
Well, the website again is earlyvoteaction.com, but let me bring the focus to 2023 because everybody for some reason is all focused on 2024.
This is a very important year that if you at home really want to make a difference in building a groundswell and building momentum going into 2024, Here are the states especially that I want you to focus on in addition to Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
This year, Virginia.
I'm in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
We together elected Governor Glenn Youngkin in 2021.
Shocked the nation.
We almost won in New Jersey with Chattarelli for governor.
In that same year with Governor Glenn Youngkin, we flipped the House of Delegates.
We, right now, control two out of the three levels of government in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
This year, every seat in the House of Delegates and the State Senate is up for election.
Meaning that, guys, if we are able to keep our majority in the House of Delegates and flip two state Senate seats, Governor Glenn Youngkin will have a legislature that he will be able to pass good conservative legislation going into 2024.
And then we could even see, potentially, Virginia as maybe a swing state, as maybe a battleground state, as maybe with us controlling everything and passing good legislation, The Democrats may have to spend a lot of money in the Commonwealth of Virginia that they normally would not have spent.
Number two, I already said it, New Jersey.
We have state legislative races in the state of New Jersey this November.
County executive positions, city council, school board, I believe, local elections.
We need six seats to flip the state assembly to Republican.
And then Democrat governor, I think Murphy it is, He won't be able to pass legislation and Republicans will be able to block any reckless legislation from being passed.
Louisiana, I already said it, we have the opportunity to flip the governorship this October.
I say October because they have a primary in October.
The person that wins 50% plus one is going to win.
Our goal Is to get Jeff Landry across the finish line in October, so then we can focus on Mississippi.
Mississippi, don't let people fool you.
It is vulnerable.
Tate right now is a little bit underwater in terms of polling, and anyone that tells you that Mississippi is locked in this November, I don't believe knows the true story.
We have to hold the governorship in the state of Mississippi.
So, let's win in October with Louisiana, then send all of our people over to SIPI and make sure that we're holding that election.
Next, Kentucky.
We have the opportunity to flip the governorship in the Commonwealth of Kentucky this November.
It currently has a Democrat, as does Louisiana.
So, New Jersey, SIPI, Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania has a state Supreme Court election.
And those are the states that in addition to the five that I mentioned, I want you to really focus your time and talent on.
And again, we win this November big.
It's going to give us so much momentum going into next year.
Absolutely.
Oh, Scott, thank you so much.
You know what?
Your positivity and just the way you are just shines through.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
Now, question, do you have any political ambitions yourself?
Have you thought about running for office?
Have you thought about anything like that?
I've thought about it.
You know, a lot of people are very kind and they tell me that I should run for office.
But you know, here's the way that I look at it right now.
If I were to run for office, I would treat it seriously.
And I would run knowing that people were ultimately going to put their faith into me.
And that I would be doing a disservice to them if I weren't working tirelessly for every constituent within that district or within that boundary.
Now the only thing about that though is if I chose to run, and by the way I wouldn't choose to run for Congress, I would run at the state level wanting to run in a state legislative seat.
That that would limit me to one state seat within one state.
And if I were to travel to other places across the country, then again, I wouldn't be doing a service to my people and to the constituents that would be putting their faith and trust into me.
So the moral of the story is, I would consider running for office if and only if After 2025, we have inaugurated the next Republican president who will be joined by a Republican Congress with the Senate and the House.
And then once we have done our job in November of 2024, then I can look to the future for myself personally.
Oh my goodness.
Well, I will tell you, we need more Scott Presslers.
I believe somebody in chat said we need one in every single state.
We need 50 just to start with.
And then we need armies behind them because you are truly an inspiration.
So I'm going to pull up your website.
We've got earlyvoteaction.com.
This is where people can sign up so that we can start putting together lists and everything else so that people know what to do.
And you will contact them or you will send them emails.
How does that work, Scott?
Well, a really big help is if all of y'all, please go on your Android or iPhone, download the Early Vote Action application, Early Vote Action, and you'll see it.
It says EVA and the V is like a check mark.
You can't miss it.
And the cool thing about downloading the application is every time we get a new campaign on there, if you allow for notifications, you will get a push notification alerted on your phone that a new campaign has been activated.
So you'll get an alert that Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a new list that you can call or Arizona or whatever the campaign is.
So that would be a really big help to download the application Early Vote Action on both Android and iPhone.
And here's the Apple one.
I just pulled that one up so that everybody can see.
This is what it looks like so that you're aware and you can just download that app and that will work perfectly.
Oh, Scott, thank you so, so much for joining us.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
No, the only thing is, I just want to say thank you guys.
I know my parents are a big fan of yours, Cat Turd, and they even have one of your mugs with the iconic cat on it.
And I just want to say thank you guys.
Thank you for...
Thank you for continuing to be a voice in the movement.
And thank you for sharing my voice.
And the only ask I have from you is, you know, maybe in a couple of months, have me on again and we'll talk about what's happened since then.
Oh, we would be delighted.
Absolutely delighted.
All right, everyone, you have some work to do.
And that was Scott Pressler.
I hope that you took notes.
We're going to get active.
We're going to get involved because we've got to for the sake of our country.
Alright, we will see you tomorrow.
Be safe, be kind to one another, and tomorrow at 3 p.m.
Eastern Time.
