He was a Nazi. He was Hitler.
He was Satan. He was a dictator.
He was a racist. He was corrupt.
He was a tool of the wealthy.
The newspapers hated him.
The entire comedy industry devoted itself to the singular task of mocking and discrediting him.
His name? Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan and George Bush and George Bush again and Donald Trump and whoever comes after Trump.
For almost as long as anyone can remember, leftists have reserved the right to dispense with reason in critiquing their political opponents, relying instead on biased personal insults.
This is always true for whoever carries the banner of leader at the Republican Party, especially if that leader is also president.
Sometimes these attacks work, as they did during the administrations of Nixon and both Bushes, and sometimes they become epic self-owns, as was the case for Reagan and Trump, whose legacies of peace and prosperity seem now like some forgotten golden age of legend.
It doesn't matter when this tactic fails, just like it never matters when leftists fail at anything.
In a matter of decades in the 20th century, they can spill more blood in the name of communism than the entire history of religious wars combined, and yet still criticize all religions for being divisive.
Not learning lessons from their own mistakes is a leftist superpower.
So when they start trying to make deals with their political opponents, you should completely ignore them.
The true leftist motto is to take what they can, when they can, and by any means necessary.
There are those on the right who think that now is the time to seek newer representation in other Republican candidates.
Give Trump a rest and go with someone new.
But to do so would only validate their scorched earth campaign to destroy Trump.
Giving the media the ability to veto the people's choice of who they want to lead the country is a terrible mistake.
It's not at all constitutional or democratic.
Not to mention the fact that there are moron corporatist thralls.
The only thing dumber than a journalist is believing the idea that the left will relent if we move on to a Ron DeSantis or another candidate.
Not only does history show this to not be the case, but the present also shows it.
Look at the unsubstantiated attack against Hershel Walker.
Look at how they framed DeSantis' law to protect children as the Don't Say Gay Act.
Look at what they did to Jennifer Ruth Green, a black Republican candidate for Congress in Indiana.
Last week, in an attempt to victim shame her, Politico reported that Ruth Green was a sexual assault survivor.
Jennifer Ruth Green is not running as a survivor of assault.
How she deals with what she went through should have been her own private decision.
She chose not to play up her victim status as a matter of personal pride and honor, a decision which is commendable.
In an age where even someone like Meghan Markle, who married a prince from British royalty, had a massively televised royal wedding for the world to see, who now lives in a mansion in Southern California with private staff, even she complains about how unfair life is as a woman.
Ruth Green's response to actual victimhood is a rare sign of fortitude.
But in their article, Politico claimed it had obtained official personal records of Ruth Green's situation from the Air Force through an open records request, which Republican Senator Tom Cotton pointed out is illegal.
You can't obtain details from someone's military personnel file unless the person in question authorizes it.
When he asked the Air Force to explain itself, he received a response that is as common as it is horrifying.
They never had a request.
Fox News quoted the official denial, quote, So,
Politico lied.
Why? Who is Jennifer Ruth Green to Politico?
The answer? She's another Nazi, another Hitler, Satan, dictator, racist, who is a corrupt tool of the wealthy.
In short, she's a Republican.
And just like Trump, his supporters rotting in jail, DeSantis, Walker, Vance, Boebert, MTG, and Lake, they do not deserve equal treatment under the law or even the simple consideration do most human beings, according to the left.
Forget forever any foolish dream of ever appeasing anyone on the left.
They are not now, just this once, being sincere when they say, anyone but Trump, relenting simply isn't in their DNA. So when Republicans say, hey, You know what?
It would be so much easier if we just didn't have Trump and we had a new candidate that would wipe the slate clean.
We could start over with decorum and debates like it used to be.
Oh my gosh, no!
Wake up.
Those days are over.
Replacing Trump with someone else will not solve a thing.
Don't get me wrong, I love DeSantis and he's running for governor of Florida.
I cannot wait to see him win and see if one day he is president.
But pretending like the left's viciousness will stop with Trump is just naive.
The left is out for blood.
Like I said, their only principle is to take what they can, when they can, and by any means necessary.
Anything they say to the contrary is a naked attempt at manipulation.
They do not stop.
Not on principle, not in the name of decorum, not for shame, not even for mercy.
We aren't dealing with rational people here.
The left is thoughtlessly boring their way through our country with one unchanging prerogative.
Eat what's good and leave nothing behind.
Can't you feel it? Every trip to the store seems like it's harder and harder to make ends meet.
You buy less and less and eat less and less.
You find yourself going without it in order to provide more for your family.
You start to do the calculus on the cost of gas.
At which point will it be too expensive to go to work?
And what do we do then?
Now ask yourself, In this situation, do I feel more like the termite or the wood?
Now take a look at fat cats like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and the leaders in big tech.
Which do you think they are?
They profited while they forced everyone else to stay home.
You might think to yourself, I'm not worried.
I'll move to a red state.
We'll leave blue states behind and really show them.
I absolutely love the idea of conservatives moving to red states.
But what then?
Leftists follow. They never give up and they never give in.
It's not enough for them to keep New York City and San Francisco and give you the rural areas.
No, they want those too.
You live in Kansas, well, they've already campaigned there.
You live in Oklahoma, leftists are targeting that too.
No matter where you live, you have to contend with the fact that for the left, what they have is never enough.
They always want more, because their goal is complete and total takeover.
To completely reshape America and strip us of our freedoms, no matter where we are.
As conservatives, it's our tendency to mind our own business and be left alone, keep your head down, pay your taxes, maybe even grow your own food, and let other people live and let live.
But this is not the way of the left.
You should know better.
They don't stop. Leftists are out there right now looking for ways to corrupt your community, making it unrecognizable to you.
They aren't satisfied owning the halls of government, multinational corporations, the media, big tech, medical censors, or the halls of academia.
No, they want you.
Look at Candace Owens.
Two weeks after the first trailer of her movie, Exposing BLM, aired, she was contacted by the IRS and told to be prepared for an audit.
Take a look at the news.
18 months after the 2017 inauguration riots in D.C., only one person was convicted of a felony and the rest of the charges were dropped.
It's a different story for conservatives.
Not only haven't the charges been dropped, but 22 months later, the FBI is still making arrests, even with the midterms right around the corner.
But that's just the appetizer.
Ray's FBI has created a new database of violent extremists in order to catalog angry parents who show up to school board meetings to speak out against critical issues.
Just the other day, the FBI arrested an octogenarian communist prison camp survivor who sang hymns at an abortion clinic.
She's one of yet another slew of innocent Americans being targeted by the leftist state police.
Under Biden, entire households are being emptied as whole families are being threatened with jail.
The American leftist sociocultural hegemony has created the largest class of political prisoners in this country since the British loyalists started disappearing the first American patriots.
And yesterday, after raiding his home, the government is finally subpoenaing its greatest threat, Donald J. Trump.
When I was thinking of what to talk about on the podcast today, I thought, you know, is what I'm going to say, is that going to be too much fire?
Then, when I saw what was happening to Trump, I said, no, more fire.
The left has gone off the reservation.
But this shouldn't surprise us.
This is who they are.
This is who they always were.
Unlike democracy and capitalism, communism is an extremely fragile system.
A single person thinking the wrong thing can bring it all down, which is why they're so threatened.
It's a system of rule more akin to the ancient Aztec ways that required constant blood sacrifice.
For utopia, of course.
Hip young leftists like to wear their communism on their sleeves as if the millions of innocent lives lost to genocide, mass starvation, and prison camps mean nothing to them.
This is one of the consequences of their morally ambivalent, by any means necessary, approach.
You never have to account for your mistakes or your crimes.
Leftists take nothing into consideration but their own narrow political ends.
That's why we're careening directly towards nuclear war while Biden is antagonizing OPEC, one of our last sources for oil.
To be ideologically unaccountable means you never have to bother learning from your mistakes, which only leads to progressively bigger and bigger disasters.
And you don't get much bigger than nuclear war.
This challenge we face is daunting, but we can take comfort in the fact that it's not the first such challenge our great nation has had to weather.
We the people have been down this road before.
We fought and defeated leftist totalitarianism in World War II and the Cold War.
Our current predicament is a mixture of elements from those.
Which is why our current movement is a combination of political and ideological, all wrapped into one.
Historically, we're in good company.
For direction in fighting communism, we can look to conservatives like Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley Jr., Margaret Thatcher, and John Paul II. And for inspiration to break this oppressive, authoritarian system, we can look to people like the founders and the great crop of MAGA pundits who are blasting the internet today.
Let the left continue formally rejecting these people I've just mentioned.
They have no claim to their legacy and so cannot be their intellectual heirs.
America has always stood on the foundation laid by these greats.
And by that same legacy, she will rise again.
If I were to quiz you about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, how many questions would you get right?
If you were only listening to the mainstream media, you'd most likely fail.
The media lied to you about George Floyd and ignored the fact that the Black Lives Matter organization used his name to raise $90 million.
If you ever wondered where the money went, we finally have some answers.
And on October 12th, Candace Owens' documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, will bring all those answers to light.
Candace Owens went to Minneapolis to the scene of the violent, racially divided aftermath that tore our nation apart.
And she followed the money to uncover BLM executives living in million dollar mansions.
But that's just the start of how all that money is being used to further corrupt traditional American values.

I thought you might all be missing Dinesh while he was away this week, so I asked him to pop on today's podcast and drop some truth bombs on us.
Hello! Hey!
I'm checking in from the Rio Grande Valley, so hello from the south of Texas.
Well, thanks for joining us.
How has your week been so far?
I know you've been traveling, you've done a lot of speeches, and now you're doing some things in South Texas.
So what have you been up to? Well, normally when I take a week off, it might seem like Debbie and I are just relaxing and doing nothing, but not this week.
So over the weekend, I went to, well, I went to the Appalachian Mountains and I gave a talk in Kentucky.
It's called Pikeville, Kentucky.
Not an easy place to get to.
I had to drive to, fly to Cleveland.
Oh no, fly to Cincinnati and then drive three hours.
Then I went from there and Debbie met me.
We were in Grand Rapids.
Well, you were in Michigan recently.
So I spoke at Grand Rapids Right to Life, their annual fundraising gala.
You know, 1,300 people was fantastic, just wonderful audience, lovely people.
And then we were home for a day, and now we are visiting Debbie's mom, Mitzi, who says hello, and also her sister, Karen.
So we are all hanging out and taking it easy.
And a little bit later, we're going to meet with the campaign staff of Amira Flores, who's running in this district, a very important race, because It kind of symbolizes the shift of Hispanics toward the GOP. Very cool.
Well, have you been missing doing the podcast this week?
Because you have not taken a week off yet like this.
I mean, not a week off because you're busy, but how is your schedule now that you haven't been doing the podcast this week?
Well, you know, I'm actually thrilled with you in the driver's seat because this is, you know, I've never really had a guest host.
So this is the first time and you've taken the whole week.
It's not just a day and you're totally crushing it.
So now I know that, you know, if I ever take a break, I've got somebody who can fill my shoes and do it really well.
You're like, hmm, I might do this sometime again.
We'll see. Well, I know you've probably missed your educational segments that you do on your podcast, so I thought today we could talk a little bit about Christian apologetics.
I saw this interesting article titled, New Observations Reveal How Giant Structures in Space Connect the Universe and Form Galaxies.
What do you make of this?
Well, I think what's going on is that we're beginning to see developments in 21st century science.
And what they're showing is that the universe operates according to a certain kind of a code, a certain type of a blueprint.
Now, scientists have always kind of known this.
But the atheists have been, of course, very emboldened by Darwin because Darwin appears to undermine the argument from design.
Darwin seems to show that you don't need a pre-existing design to show how living creatures can change and evolve.
That's kind of the meaning of evolution, that there can be, through natural selection, evolution in response to natural changes in the environment.
But of course, interestingly, while the argument from design has been somewhat undermined in biology, it has been greatly strengthened in the most important of all the scientific disciplines, one that actually subsumes or contains all of biology, and that's physics.
And so I think the meaning of this article is that scientists see all these things that go on, both at the very small level, the microscopic and the subatomic level, and then these huge things that are happening out in the universe.
Our universe is just Unimaginably big.
And it turns out that both the really big things and the really small things don't occur kind of randomly.
They occur by a sort of code or blueprint or design.
And of course, you can't have intelligent design without an intelligent designer.
Right. And I think when people often question, you know, how could there be this world?
It must have been caused by some other universe.
You know, it doesn't have to be an intelligent designer.
Maybe the intelligent designer wasn't God.
It was some kind of alternate universe.
How would you debunk that argument?
Well, I mean, if you think about it, that only pushes the problem one step back, right?
Because, so, for example, let's assume that our universe, let's call it universe A, is caused by universe B, which is caused by universe C. Well, where did this alphabet soup of universes come from?
In other words, what is the cause of that?
So merely positing that this particular universe is caused by another universe hardly solves the problem of where do universes come from.
Right. It's almost like they're more comfortable with the idea of unknown universes and universes going far back, who knows where that would stop, but they just don't like the idea of God.
Do you think that a lot of the time that's really what it's about?
They don't want to acknowledge that there could be a designer?
Yes, I think that atheism is driven.
It begins with the premise that there is no God, and then it comes to the idea of how do we find a way to account for all the design in the universe or the apparent design without a designer.
And so if it's impossible to account for life, let's remember, evolution can describe how life transitions from organism A to organism B, but evolution doesn't explain where life came from.
So if you can't explain life, then they go, well, maybe life was sort of seeded here from some other planet.
That theory is called panspermia.
And again, there's absolutely no evidence for this, but for atheists, it provides some psychological comfort because it's a way of being able to try to explain the universe without having to introduce the idea of God.
Right. So there must be a designer.
And I want to ask you, explain to us a little bit that really interesting example you use just to show how complex the world is and how it needed to be made, you know, exactly this way about the dials.
And if you move them a little bit, everything is ruined.
Can you tell your audience a little bit about that example?
Well, yeah, you can think of the universe as being a very complex machine, a machinery that operates according to, let's say, a hundred different dials.
And the point is that all those dials, all hundred of them, have to be set at a precise number for the universe to be the way it is and for life to emerge, for complex life, for our kind of life, the life that can turn around and comprehend the universe.
So the probability of that occurring, not just in one dial, but in all these dials at the same time is essentially almost, it's infinitesimal.
And so the point here is that when you look at all the arguments and the complexity, the existence of all these dials points to the fact that somebody is operating the dials.
Right. And even if you move them slightly, we wouldn't have life.
We wouldn't be able to exist in these kinds of conditions, even if they were slightly changed, because we have to have the universe a certain way with certain temperatures and so on in order to survive.
Exactly. Great.
Well, thanks so much for your insight.
I'll let you get back to things, but just wanted to let you come say hi to your audience since you'll be back with them soon.
Sounds good. Look forward to seeing everybody on Monday.

Illegal drug trafficking has turned our southern border into a war zone.
It's a war that no one wants to talk about.
I urge you to see Border Battle, the new six-part limited documentary series from Turning Point USA that exposes the sheer evil and inhumanity of drug cartels and the illegal drug trade.
How the drug Phenonyl, the Cardale-Halisco, New Generation, and the Sinaloa Cartel have created the worst overdose death crisis in American history.
Fentanyl has killed tens of thousands of Americans.
It's so dangerous, just three grains of fentanyl can kill you.
Border Battle reveals how illegal immigration, human trafficking, and America's drug crisis has only been made worse by decades of government neglect.
Today's drug cartels are militarized with sophisticated weapons, tanks, and drones that drop explosives on their drug competitors right on our southern border.
We've never seen this before in the history of our country.
Hear directly from drug and border patrol agents about the horrific conditions along the border and what life is really like on the front lines.
Watch Border Battle now.

I'm now going to invite to the podcast my husband, Brandon Gill.
You guys are going to just love him.
But before I bring him on, though, I want to tell you a little bit about Brandon because many of you may know Dinesh, you may know Debbie or me, but you might not know Brandon yet.
But Brandon is an incredibly inspiring person, and I really admire him immensely.
He grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas.
He was driving tractors when he was 11, wrestling cows, doing mechanical work, building fence, welding.
He did years of backbreaking work with his dad.
He went to a rural public school and was the first person in his family to even dream of going to an Ivy League college.
Brandon then went to Dartmouth College on a scholarship.
He also applied and got private scholarships from groups around the country who offer sometimes a thousand dollars here, a thousand dollars there to make up for what Dartmouth didn't cover.
He paid off his remaining student loans the year after he graduated with money he made from his job.
He graduated cum laude, which is the top of his class, with two degrees, one in economics and one in history.
While he was there, he was the president of the Dartmouth Review, the conservative renegade college newspaper, which might sound familiar.
That's right, the same paper our friend Dinesh was editor of while he was a student decades prior.
So what can I say?
I've always been a big fan of Rebels.
Brandon and I met in college.
I actually met Brandon when I first got to campus.
I walked onto the green, which is this big grassy quad area.
And he's a year older than I am, so he was a sophomore when I got to campus.
I saw him and immediately thought he was some kind of college guy because, you know, I kind of saw myself as having just left high school.
So I didn't really want to talk to him, but it turns out that he was actually the president of the Christian club I joined.
So we immediately became friends, and we made it our mission to evangelize on campus.
The club was tiny at first, but we actually grew it in its early stages.
Brandon mostly actually grew it to be the largest club on the entire campus of Dartmouth, other than the historic Dartmouth Outing Club, which is for sports.
And this is actually amazing because, as you know, Dartmouth is a secular campus.
It is a desolate place.
But we said, you know what?
People here have not heard about, you know, what Christianity really is.
So anyways, fast forward.
Cowboy Brandon made his way to Wall Street in New York, something he had really wanted to do since he was little.
He had heard about it in movies, had heard about kind of this finance epicenter in New York.
So we lived in New York City after we got married while he was working there.
He learned a lot, but left because it was woke.
And he started his own business.
He's always been a passionate America First conservative, so it made sense for him to do this.
But I'm actually having Brandon on the podcast today because I want to talk to him about his amazing news website, DC Inquirer, and some breaking news stories.
DCInquirer.com is something he started.
That's the letter D-C and then Inquirer.
And it is what we see as Trump's favorite publication.
Trump has re-truthed Brandon and DC Inquirer articles at least 20 times in the last month or two.
He's done an I-C-Y-M-I, in case you missed it, email blast, sharing Brandon's DC Inquirer stories.
So we know Trump reads DC Inquirer regularly.
And frequently comments on the articles as well on his Truth Social.
And I often joke that Trump doesn't re-truth me or my dad that much honestly, but re-truths Brandon all the time.
So if you're wondering, he's actually the real star of the family.
It's not me or my dad.
So, okay, let's get Brandon on.
Brandon, I'm delighted to have you here with us.
Brandon and I are doing this interview remotely because I'm actually recording this podcast at a radio station slash studio locally, and he's in our home right now.
So, hey, Brandon. Hey, Danielle.
Thanks for having me on. Brandon, I want to start out by asking you, what inspired you to start DC Inquirer?
Right, thanks. If you look at the media landscape right now, you see obviously it's heavily biased to the left.
And one thing that you notice about the left is that they always bat for their team.
Whenever the White House says something, whether it's said in a press briefing or whether Biden says it, the left kind of in unison will back them up.
And what you see on the conservative side is we have this kind of weird way of undermining our own side consistently.
We don't have sort of a consistent pro-Trump, pro-Republican news outlet.
And that's what I wanted to create.
So DC Inquirer is unabashedly conservative.
We're unabashedly America First, and we're explicitly pro-Trump.
And I thought that that was something that didn't exist and needed to.
Yeah. I mean, are you surprised that the America First perspective was represented so little in corporate media?
I am. You know, whenever you look at a lot of the people who are in Republican media right now, at least traditional Republican media, a lot of these people are looking for more respectability than anything.
They're sort of living in kind of an old-fashioned Republicanism where we can debate ideas with the left or we can, you know, button up our suit and tie and look good on TV and then go home to our families and sort of enjoy life.
And I think that we're in a much more A much more severe struggle right now.
And that's where I think DC Inquirer can come in and sort of get our side going.
Yeah. Tell us a little bit about a personal story where Trump recognized one of your writers.
Right. So it seems like Trump reads DC Inquirer pretty consistently.
And we had a writer whose name is Reed Cooper.
Now, Reed is a big pro-Trump fan.
He's been He's been a huge fan of Trump since he was in middle school or before.
Now, we wrote an article, or Reed wrote an article, about President Trump's golf handicap.
So, you may not have known this, but Trump has the best golf handicap of any president in history.
So, we wanted to kind of highlight that.
We thought it was kind of fun. So, Reed wrote an article about it, and Trump saw it, printed it out, wrote a thank you note to Reed, and signed it, and mailed it directly to Reed's house.
I think what it shows is, you know, kind of behind the camera, Trump is actually a pretty nice guy and really cares about the people who are on our side.
I thought that was kind of an interesting example also of Trump's sort of personality.
You know, he's a lot nicer than the leftist media like to pretend.
Right, of course. And let's dive into some news stories since you're the news guy.
I want to start with this story.
Wawa, a convenience store connected to gas stations, recently announced that they are closing a lot of their stores near Philadelphia because of crime.
Brandon, what's your reaction to this?
I think the biggest thing to remember here is that this stuff doesn't happen by accident.
American cities don't just descend into lawless chaos by whim.
What happens is Philadelphia is a city with a Democrat mayor and a Democrat district attorney who absolutely refused to prosecute violent crimes.
Last year, for example, Philadelphia saw the highest homicide rate ever in its history.
And you're seeing increasingly lower and lower conviction rates.
So what we're seeing is, and this is something that's systematic about the Democrat Party.
They always side with the criminal over the victim, with lawlessness over law and order, and really with this sort of societal chaos over sort of a functioning civil society.
So now Philadelphia is at the point where you can't even operate a convenience store because the city is so violent, so chaotic, and law enforcement is so demoralized, and you have DAs who will not put violent criminals in jail, and that's the fundamental problem.
We're seeing this all over the country, But this is a really, really good example of what happens whenever we let Democrats get in control with no Republican opposition.
Right. That's so true.
And that has been happening in so many Democrat cities.
Well, I want to get to this story.
Troy Aikman, a sports commentator who used to be a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, made a comment saying, we need to take the dress off.
And woke people flipped out saying this is sexist and Troy Aikman apologized for this, sadly.
Brandon, what do you make of this?
And do you think he should or shouldn't have apologized?
No, absolutely not.
So I think the key thing to remember with leftists is never, ever, ever, ever apologize to them, especially if you're on the right.
Now, in this case with Troy Eggman, no rational, normal person finds that idiom to be offensive in any way whatsoever.
So what you're happening is, or what you're seeing is this sort of totalitarian leftist ideology It's not just looking to dictate how people act.
They're trying to determine what people say and ultimately what they think.
And that's what happened is Troy Aikman said something they didn't like and more fundamentally probably thinks a lot of things that they don't like either.
So they're going to kind of bring the hammer down on them.
And the thing to remember about this is that this never ends.
It's not just what Troy Aikman said, it's what he's thinking.
And then the next step is who he is.
As we know, he's a white male who's straight.
And that's a class of people that the left is always consistently attacking.
And we have to just put the hammer down on them now.
And we have to say, we're not going to put up to this.
I'm not going to back down to you guys.
And I'm not going to apologize because I know that this never, ever, ever ends.
Right. And I want to ask you about Senator Ben Sasse.
He just announced earlier this week that he'll be stepping down from the Senate—he's a Nebraska senator—to go be the head of the University of Florida.
Now, this is odd because he was elected in 2020.
Now, Ben Sasse is bad news.
He voted to convict Trump on impeachment.
He also said he would not support Donald Trump if he got the Republican presidential nomination and formally called for an independent challenge from the right.
In 2016, he said, quote, I sincerely hope we select one of the other GOP candidates, but if Donald Trump ends up as the GOP nominee, conservatives will need to find a third option, end quote.
Sass wrote in a roughly 1,600 word post on Facebook.
So, Brandon, how did we end up with people like Ben Sass elected in the first place?
I think that's the fundamental problem, or one of the fundamental problems in the Republican Party right now, is that Take a guy like Ben Sasse, right?
He's on our side 90% of the time.
He's fairly conservative.
He's not that conservative.
He's a bit of a rhino, but for the most part, he'll vote the way we want him to.
The problem is that that other 10% tends to be the things that we care the most about.
Take impeachment, for example.
This is one of the biggest votes Ben Sasse was ever going to make in his entire political career, was whether he's going to impeach the President of the United States.
We know that that was a partisan sham.
We know that Trump absolutely did not incite violence.
He didn't incite the rioters.
We know that. Except that this was a hairy situation where Ben Sasse, instead of fighting for our side and standing up when things get tough, he's going to bow down to the left.
Now, there seems to be this idea that, among some Republicans, especially the more establishment type, that we're sort of still living in the 1980s.
Like I said, you can go home and you can see your kids and we're going to politely debate policy differences or philosophical differences between the left and the right.
And that's not how the left operates anymore.
What we need in Congress and in the Senate are people who are not going to back down to them, who are going to fight them tooth and nail, especially whenever things get tough and whenever we need Republican congressmen and Republican senators the most.
And Ben Sasse just wasn't up to the job.
Good luck to him. Happy to see him go.
Yeah, well thank you so much Brandon.
I appreciate it. Thanks.
