Time Text
You want to listen to a podcast?
By who?
Georgia GOP Congressman Doug Collins.
How is it?
The greatest thing I have ever heard in my whole life.
I could not believe my ears.
In this house, wherever the rules are disregarded, chaos and mob rule.
It has been said today, where is bravery?
I'll tell you where bravery is found and courage is found.
It's found in this minority who has lived through the last year of nothing but rules being broken, people being put down, questions not being answered, and this majority say, be damned with anything else.
We're going to impeach and do whatever we want to do.
Why?
Because we won an election.
I guarantee you, one day you'll be back in the minority and it ain't gonna be that fun.
Alright everybody, welcome back to the podcast.
Glad to have you with us today, Monday, starting off another week.
Lots of stuff going on.
We want to just hit with politics, politics, politics.
I've told you it's going to be the longest seven months of your life, so if you haven't We're strapped in for that idea yet of the presidential campaign.
You need to strap into it.
We're going to talk about some presidential stuff here today.
We're going to talk about the bloodbath episode, which has become, you know, just blown so far out of proportion that the liberal media believes that they can just continually palpably lie to people and that nobody's going to call on it.
I mean, it's just it's just freaking amazing on that.
We have the Fannie Willis episode from Friday.
Fannie Willis is going to be on the case, but Nathan Wade's not.
I'm going to dive into that a little bit.
And then we're going to talk about primaries tomorrow.
We've got primary day in several states tomorrow.
Some big primaries, some inter-Republican matchups that I want to point out to you as well.
So let's deal with this here after the break.
Let's dig into it.

Alright, let's jump into this real quick.
One, I want to start off with the absolute stupid that's going on right now in the media world, the media frenzy.
Donald Trump did another Saturday night fly-in to Ohio for Bernie Marino and the Ohio primary, which we're going to talk about here in just a few minutes, and getting the crowd fired up.
Outdoor event, big crowd, I mean, again, a typical Trump rally.
And let me just out there, for all of you liberals out there who don't understand a Trump rally, let me break it down for you.
There's about an hour and a half long, there's about 45 minutes of prepared speech, and there's about 45 minutes of the president telling stories, okay?
And when I say stories, I'm not talking about tall tales or legends or falsehoods.
I'm talking about him just telling stories that come to his mind.
It may be about people in the audience, it may be about his old apprentice show.
It's just, as he has said this before from the stage, People come and wait a long time to hear more than just a quick speech and gone.
So he is someone who gives more than just a political speech.
Now granted, if you're a political pundit and you're a political elitist, you don't want to see a politician go off script.
You don't want to see them talking hyperbole or anything else because, God forbid, that messes up your little political world.
Now look, you cannot like Donald Trump and still understand that concept.
It's not that They don't get it.
It's that they don't want to get it.
It's not able to be taught.
It's being taught, but still spouting the wrong answer anyway.
That's the part that bothers me the most about this, especially the bloodbath incident, which in fact, if you go back, listen to the tapes, and believe me, there are plenty out there on any one of your choices of social media.
Just find it.
Listen to it.
He's talking about the American auto industry.
Now, let me think.
I'm going to break you back.
The American auto industry is under attack by this administration, the Biden administration, who from day one chose to attack the American economy, and especially the energy sector of the economy, in which cars run on gas, internal combustion engines, and there is a growing hybrid in the election market.
But most people are like myself.
Don't Tell me what I'm gonna drive.
Do not force me into picking your car of choice, okay?
I drive a Ford F-250 diesel, big diesel with a big turbo engine.
Well, why I buy it and why I drive it?
Because I wanted it.
Okay?
That's my choice.
I happen to live in a country in which capitalism and free markets allow me to go pick a truck.
Now, if you wanted to, and I'll be funny here, I'm being funny for all of you who may liberally listen to this.
If you want to go buy a Chevy or a Dodge, that's, you know, look, not everybody can drive a Ford.
Okay?
I get it.
But it's your choice to go buy one.
And look, you know, Toyota, it's choices here.
Okay, people will make choices.
Now, I've told you before on this podcast that my wife and I, in fact, we just went from a hybrid, which was a gasoline hybrid that had an internal battery that would give you better mileage when you're idling and things like that.
We sold that vehicle and bought a plug-in hybrid for my wife.
And it's one in which she gets around the community here.
She plugs it in.
She gets about 30, 40 miles of run out of the all-electric part, which covers most anything she does during the day going into town because we don't live that far from town.
And it has a very small gas tank, which I don't like personally when we take it further out of town.
But, I mean, we save...
And we buy maybe a tank of gas a month for that car, especially if we're just in town.
Maybe.
We may even get longer than six weeks out of a tank because we're using the electricity.
We like it.
Okay?
I'm not bad about trying to find alternative vehicles or alternative engines.
To do things that we can do.
I believe personally that probably for the last number of years, 40 or 40 years, there's been other proposals for engines and propulsion systems for cars that have probably been ignored because it's much easier just to build the internal combustion engine.
I get it.
Okay, so there's room in the future for people who are energetic, who are forward-minded, who want to provide a product such as Elon Musk at Tesla and others, that they can provide a market for cars that people want to buy.
Okay, I get it.
But don't also deny some of the ecological problems with the battery-operated cars.
And don't force me into buying something that would not fit our lifestyle.
Biden administration chose to do that from day one.
They chose to attack our energy complex.
They chose to attack natural gas.
They chose to enact the gas fossil fuels for our engines.
And they have been going after coal-fired plants.
I mean, there's a lot going on here.
So, I say all that to get you into the perspective of understanding that The speech on Saturday, which this is a big difference, so you're going to get a little political here as well as the speech.
The difference in this campaign, and I've been talking about this, talking about this, talking about this, is that this is two candidates who have records, and they will run on those records.
Donald Trump will run on his record in the White House.
And now the left will try to make it all about Mueller, all about Russia collusion, all about everything else except tax cuts that actually cut taxes for people under $200,000 and actually those over $250,000 actually end up paying more in this.
Nobody paid more under $250,000.
It just didn't happen.
That's been budgetarily proven.
As we go, it increased business.
It increased small business purchasing power and capital improvements.
It did a lot of things.
By the time he left the office of 2019-2020, the border's crossings were at their lowest they've been in years.
There was no wars.
There was the aspect of keeping North Korea in check, China in check.
We passed trade deals.
These are things that Donald Trump can run on.
Now, Joe Biden will try to run on spending more money, and it's my spin on it, and I'm giving you that.
Yes, he spent more money in COVID relief, which caused the recession that he's now trying to fix, because he caused it in the start, and now he's trying to put something...
You get it.
See, that's about like a Joe Biden speech.
Well, I put money in.
I caused inflation.
Now I'm putting something in to fix inflation.
Then I'm going to tell everybody else in America that, oh, by the way, I am fixed inflation.
Well, you can't fix something truly if you started it.
Okay, that's like starting a fire in my front yard, putting it out and calling myself a fireman.
Okay, I can't do that.
Come on.
But that's Joe Biden.
He'll run on that.
He'll run on the CHIPS Act.
He'll run on the Infrastructure Act, which basically implemented most of the new Green Deal.
Thank you, Joe Manchin.
The Build Back Better kind of stuff.
So those are the campaigns that are going to run on.
He's also going to have to run on the fact that he lost 13 soldiers in Afghanistan and absolutely botched a withdrawal.
He's going to have to run on the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine.
He's going to have to run on the fact that now he's isolated our most valuable ally in the Middle East, Israel, by basically blaming them in many ways, even overtly, To stop attacking Hamas who brutally attacked them on October 7th.
These are all fair game for an election.
If you don't understand that and you don't like that, I'm sorry, can't help you call somebody else.
Okay?
Go to one of the liberal podcasts that make you feel good about yourself or go to a conservative podcast that you just like to rail and shout at the moon.
I ain't doing that.
I'm just going to tell you what's honest.
And the honesty of this election is that you're going to have to provide this contrast.
Donald Trump understands that the car auto industry is in deep hurt right now over this move and these mandates that are popping up on the electrical vehicle front.
Know why?
Because they're building them and nobody wants them.
The Hertz car rental company CEO just stepped down.
Why?
Because he made a major investment into EV cars and found out nobody wanted to rent them and they had to dump 20,000 of their cars that were EV Because nobody wanted to rent them and nobody wanted to buy them.
You don't think this is a matter of true business?
And it is.
You see it.
I say this.
Build a car like a Tesla.
Build the cars that people want and they'll buy them.
And don't tell me that you're going to mandate it by 2030 or 2035 because you don't have the electrical system to do it.
The grid is not there.
And in the infrastructure of building power plants and generating facilities, you can't put enough windmills and solar panels out there to do this, to provide enough energy.
You can't.
They're all part of an integrated mix.
The Democrats want it all, and it doesn't work.
Donald Trump was simply stating the fact The other night when he said, if they continue down this path and I don't get elected, the American car industry will be in a bloodbath.
In other words, basically car sales will continue to play.
General Motors, Ford, the rest will not have the market to sell.
And especially with the extractions that the union have gotten over the last little bit on these dealers, these manufacturers, they can't afford to put a car in the marketplace for what we're seeing come from overseas.
They just can't.
So again, let's take it in context.
But no, all the left wanted to do, including Nancy Pelosi and commentators, talking heads on MSNBC and NBC and CBS and everybody else, wanted to say, Donald Trump, see, he's just inciting violence.
He wants a bloodbath.
No, you are being disingenuous and liar.
That was not what he said.
He said it about the industry in which there would be a bloodbath in the industry of automobiles if you elected Joe Biden again.
Why?
Because sales wouldn't be there.
People would lose jobs, which you don't obviously seem to be concerned about.
And that is the real answer.
So please, if you're a liberal pundit trying to sell this on the American people, shut up.
Because it ain't working, number one.
All weekend, all we saw was these headlines, these catastrophic headlines from these reporters saying, using bloodbath, and he's calling on lights and trying to bring that into January 6th.
It's just not true.
Democrats keep running on this big picture that democracy is the one that's in shambles, and y'all are the only protectors of it.
When you try and damage free speech, when you try to go after your political opponents, when you don't follow the rules, as I watched and saw in Congress when I was there, when you tried to impeach Donald Trump For nothing.
And when you went after a Mueller report and tried to make it something, it wasn't.
When you just continue to lambast the rules to get your way, I don't want to hear about your moral turpitude.
I don't want to hear the fact that you talk about questioning the results of an election, honest questions about why are there more people registered in Fulton County, Georgia, than they are age-registered voters.
Why is that true?
Why is that in Michigan?
Why is this other places?
Why are they not keeping the roles together?
You can call me everything you want to call me.
Typically, liberals start off with racist or election denial.
I'm just asking honest questions that you should be asking.
Because you then can go back and ask Stacey Abrams here in Georgia why she never really wanted to concede the election because she said it was stolen from her.
Basically implied that votes were suppressed for her.
And you had Jamie Raskin, who becomes a moral virtue of the January 6th committee.
One of his very first speeches on the floor of the House was contesting the Electoral College in 2017, January.
Look it up.
So, yeah, I'm a little fired up about this.
I'm just frustrated with it.
It's a load of hogwash.
But yet the liberals are so desperate.
What is it so bad about Donald Trump, now the Republican nominee for president, you can't stand that he gets back in again?
I mean, you said he was going to get us into wars.
He never did.
You said he was going to tank the economy.
Never did.
You said he was going to violate all these constitutional principles.
He was going to fire people.
Never did.
Everything you accused him of doing, he didn't do.
Except put this country on a path of prosperity, putting America first, which means we simply look out for America because we, I've said this before, ad nauseum.
Donald Trump said he put America first because he said other countries put their country first.
And that's the way it should be.
If we're negotiating with Great Britain, I would expect them to have pride in their country to put their interest at least out there first so they can negotiate with America or any other country.
That's just the way you do it.
Not in the liberal mindset because too many times you watch the liberals apologize for the wealth and the growth of America.
The problem that will bring down this country and divide us even further is when we believe we're no longer Americans.
We're hyphenated something and we're not Americans who founded under a principle of the Constitution and the rights given to us by God that are outlined many of them in our founding documents of freedom.
Of the pursuit of happiness, not the guarantee of happiness, not the equality of everybody.
Everybody should not be set up where everybody gets equal.
I don't want that.
You should not want that.
But this idea that you're going to bring Donald Trump down for stuff that he says at a speech that is obviously out of context, if that's your game plan for 2024, stick with it.
Stick with it.
Because I think the American people have basically had enough of that.
I want to go over real quickly.
I mean, just...
I tell you what, on Wednesday of this week, come back.
If you want to hear me on Fonny Willis, come back on Wednesday.
I'll have some stuff on Fonny Willis in the Atlanta court case.
We may actually have some updates there, and I'm sort of waiting on that.
But I do want to hit some seats that you need to watch.
Tomorrow's Election Day.
California, Ohio, and Illinois have primary days.
This is going to be really interesting because you're filling the unexpired term of Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker of the House.
Big race out there that has been going on, and you will see what happens.
A lot of money has been spent there, and almost $2 million in that campaign for that one.
But there's a couple I want to make mention of because one is very sort of special to me, and there's a Republican Democrat in Illinois, and that is Representative Mike Bost.
Mike Bost is a good friend of mine.
I'm going to stay up front.
He is the chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee and he is being primaried by a gentleman who ran for The governorship, Darren Bailey, a former state senator out there, Darren Bailey, ran for governors and got beat soundly in Illinois.
And Bost's campaign is, they're working this because it's sort of implying the who's the better Republican.
And this is becoming a theme throughout some of this.
Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Bost.
Matt Gaetz has been in endorsing Bost.
Darren Bailey, a lot of it had to do with Boss and Gates getting into it over the election of Speaker McCarthy by January, with Boss ended up shouting at him and supposedly lunged at him in October when they were trying to find a speaker actually getting it out.
And they've been in this race.
So this is one of those races where Republicans inside the conference are sort of fighting at each other.
Boss looks to be ahead.
He's going through six to six term in Congress.
I think this will be one in which he wins, but it is going to be interesting to see how much From my understanding, talking to people in this district, Bailey's campaign is out of money.
The agricultural community, in which he is a part of, has turned their back on Bailey, their supporting boss, Donald Trump's supportive boss.
So we'll see how that plays out as it goes.
Now, the other interesting...
prospect here is the Danny Davis seat.
Now this is a Chicago.
This is one of the old school Chicago seats.
And Danny's thinking the 15th term.
So this would be 30 years against four challengers.
He's got some that have raised money, their reporting cycle.
This has been probably one of his hardest cycles because they have been a lot of money spent to beat him.
And It's been interesting for the ones who came in in support of Davis, actually pro-Israel super PACs have actually came in to support Davis because of the anti-Israel facing on some of these others that are running against him.
So again, just an interesting perspective here.
It's the 7th District.
Donald Trump, Joe Biden over Donald Trump by 73 points in 2020. This is nowhere close to being a Republican seat.
So a solid Democrat.
So whoever wins this one will actually, again, both of these races, Boston, Davis will be reelected going into November because there's really no legitimate opposition party here.
But I just thought it's interesting, two of your, one growing member in the House, Mike Boss, chairman.
Danny Davis, who's been there, will be, if he wins this race, 30 years being challenged.
It'll be interesting to see how those come out.
Let's go back to McCarthy's seat in California.
A special election is on Tuesday to serve out until the end of the year.
Vince Fung, a Republican, is on the ballot after getting the most votes into March 5th, an 11th candidate, all-party primary for a full term starting next year.
Also running Tuesday is a sheriff out there, Boudreaux, and a fellow Republican who finished Look,
if you understand California politics and you understand this all-in ballot that they have out there, God bless you, because it is a nightmare to deal with in these jungle primaries, which you see in California and also see in Louisiana at a certain point in time.
A lot of it, I believe, was put in, especially in California, to get Democrats at the top two, so it locks out Republican opposition in November.
You also have Ohio, and this is going to be an interesting one because you have a vacant seat in the sixth, which was Bill Johnson, who became a university president in January, and the second seat, second district in Ohio, opening up because one of my friends, again, Brad Winstrom, is leaving Congress.
The 2nd District and the 6th District are both solid Republicans.
It's just going to be an interesting term to see who wins in those two seats as it goes forward.
Back and forth.
But the big one really in...
The Ohio race is the Senate race right now.
And that's going to be an interesting backing up because you have Marino who has been endorsed by Donald Trump and you got The other races, that has come down to a really bitter race here at the end.
So again, I'm not going to dive in deep on these races in depth.
You can check this out, but I just want to let you know, this is probably the only real test in many of these races, especially those two that I brought out in Illinois, is this is it.
Once their primary is over, they don't have any other races.
So if Davis and Boss both win, They're in, or vice versa, if their opponents win, they're guaranteed to go to Congress.
So just pointing this out as we go forward, I'm going to speak a little bit more later in these primaries as they continue to go away.
You've still got the Texas runoffs, which are in May.
Especially in the state house, state senate seats out in Texas is really interesting because you had a lot of incumbents either lose or get forced into runoffs in these districts.
And we're talking many year incumbents because of the issue of school choice.
You don't think school choice is an issue?
Greg Abbott made it an issue.
The governor out there made it an issue into these campaigns, and I think that is going to show some weight in areas like I hope Georgia passes a little bit further step towards school choice.
It's not where it needs to be, but it's getting closer.
That's a good thing.
You're seeing it go in other states like Oklahoma and other places.
This is becoming more and more of an issue.
It's becoming more and more of a bipartisan issue because every parent wants to be able to send their student And their child to the best place that they can get an education.
So these are all lining up issues.
Again, it still amazes me that the Democratic Party is still focused on the issues that no polling or anything shows matters at this point.
Abortion, maybe, is their strongest element that they're having, especially if you have Republicans who don't know how to stand up to it.
So these are all things that you've got to look at moving forward.
But tomorrow, big primary day.
Again, presidential primaries over.
Biden and Trump talked about that earlier.
But the individual state elections are still out there for us.
