| Poor Joey today on stage. | |
| Joe Biden next to him. | |
| Seems to forget his own granddaughter's name. | |
| You know, I they keep putting they keep putting the president out there and he keeps struggling so much. | |
| I think maybe I'd hide him back in the basement bunker down in uh Delaware. | |
| Listen. | |
| And Secretary of Education, we go Cardona, where are you, Miguel? | |
| Where is my there he is? | |
| He's educating people in the back. | |
| There you go. | |
| You see Neil and me too. | |
| I didn't see Naomi. | |
| She's over here. | |
| How can you miss her? | |
| I I tell you what, Naomi, how are you? | |
| That's my granddaughter, my oldest, our oldest granddaughter. | |
| And her fiance. | |
| I can't see. | |
| And Peter. | |
| And Peter, you all have to know all this, you know. | |
| It's really important. | |
| Okay. | |
| It's a little scary. | |
| Let me go to, I mean, one of the big issues in any of these primaries that are upcoming, it happens to be the economy. | |
| Now the Roe v. | |
| Wade issues come front and center. | |
| Um, and now we have packing the court discussions left and right on on these, especially by the you know, the likes of Adam Schiff, all the predictable actors. | |
| Um anyway, here's um, but here's Donald Trump predicting what would happen to this economy. | |
| It was during one of the debates with Biden if Biden was elected president. | |
| Let me tell you about the stock market. | |
| When the stock market goes up, that means jobs. | |
| It also means 401ks. | |
| If you got in, if you ever became president with your ideas, you want to terminate my tax, my taxes. | |
| I I'll tell you what, you'll lose half of the companies that have poured in here will leave, and plenty of companies that are already here, they'll leave to other places have they will leave and you will have a depression, the likes of which you've never seen. | |
| And that is exactly what's happening. | |
| I mean, you think of all that has changed in you know, a little over a year, almost a a year and a half at this point. | |
| Did you ever think we'd have record high gas prices, 40-year high of inflation, chaos at our borders, a disaster in Afghanistan? | |
| Uh did you ever think law and order, we we defund the police, dismantle the police, we uh have no bail laws like the guy that tried to attack Dave Chappelle. | |
| Do you ever think that can happen this fast? | |
| Um one race that we're watching, well, we're watching two races down in the great state of Georgia. | |
| We're watching our friend uh Herschel Walker and Team Herschel, and we're also watching this primary challenge of David Purdue versus the current governor. | |
| Uh that's that would be uh Mr. Kemp, Brian Kemp, who uh to me has not done a particularly good job for the people of Georgia, but that's gonna be the people of Georgia that decides. | |
| Um I've noticed a tightening in the polls. | |
| I had an analysis, saw an analysis by Insider Advantage, and they're you know, some of the best pollsters in Georgia. | |
| It's it's interesting. | |
| You have Trafalgar, that's Robert Cahale out of Georgia, then you have Matt Towery, who uh once ran for lieutenant governor in Georgia and was in the state legislature for a long time. | |
| Uh, we welcome back David Purdue. | |
| Uh welcome back, sir. | |
| Glad you could be with us. | |
| Thanks, Sean, for having me. | |
| Yeah, it's a it's a big race here in Georgia. | |
| Thank you for covering it. | |
| Well, what what he's basically saying, he there's two things that are at risk here. | |
| There was this ridiculous poll I saw posted somewhere, and I immediately called Robert and Matt and had them look into the analytics uh behind it. | |
| They said, this is total BS. | |
| This race is is very likely now headed towards a runoff. | |
| And what's interesting, in in the state of Georgia, no incumbent that I know of has ever won a runoff race against a challenger. | |
| Is that true? | |
| Yeah, modern times, that's right. | |
| I mean, we've only had three Republican governors in our history. | |
| And uh, you know, what we're doing, there's a gap right now, Sean, between what I see out here in the field. | |
| We've been running around the state since December, taking our campaign to the people. | |
| This is people versus politicians. | |
| The establishment is what people are upset about, crime, education, the economy, inflation. | |
| Those are top topics here. | |
| The election was to start with, and now they they've got real concerns. | |
| Crime right now, Georgia, the Atlanta crime rate is out of control. | |
| Rapes and murders are up sixty percent this year. | |
| Murder rate in Atlanta is the highest in the country, and at the same time we're short twelve hundred law enforcement officers in our five major cities. | |
| This is at the feet of the governor. | |
| He's responsible for this uh lackadaisical approach to protecting the people of Georgia. | |
| All right. | |
| So there's a lot of big issues. | |
| What are the major differences? | |
| Like, for example, we just had this leak of uh a motion that they're debating the uh uh the obvious question of whether they should repeal Bro v. | |
| Wade, and it looks like the justices are leaning in that direction, or at least five of the nine. | |
| Um if in fact that happens, what is the difference between your position and Brian Kemp's position? | |
| Well, first of all, we've waited forty-nine years to get this overturn. | |
| Uh, you know, Roe v. | |
| Wade was an overreaching ruling. | |
| Even Justice Ginsburg, before she was a Supreme Court justice, said that in the 90s that it was overreaching and wouldn't one day be overturned, and here we are, it will be overturned, according to Justice Roberts. | |
| And in Georgia, what I've said is if I were a sitting governor, I would reconvene immediately the General Assembly to uh ban all abortions in Georgia. | |
| And I've asked the governor to do the same thing, to give us his commitment that he would do the same thing. | |
| And the reason is is we all need to be aligned at the shoulder here and uh to stand up against this onslaught. | |
| You remember the Kavanaugh onslaught when during his confirmation, that was primarily driven by the pro abortion groups. | |
| And so here we have three conservative justices under Donald Trump got appointed and were confirmed, and that's why we were able to get this historic um ruling. | |
| Hopefully it'll come down soon. | |
| Well, I think it's it's absolutely I did watch uh one of the debates that you had with Brian Kemp, and I I thought you just destroyed him. | |
| And I guess maybe that's where the tighten of the race came. | |
| I I couldn't even believe it. | |
| It's like it didn't even show up for the debate, and you went in with you have you're breathing fire. | |
| Well, we have to. | |
| I mean, I'm in here fighting for the people like I've been doing since uh I got elected in 14. | |
| Uh Sean, I mean, after the election in 2020, and we saw the problem there as I asked for a special session and was said no, and uh I went to court three times and asked for the Rad Rad Raffensburgers' resignation, the Secretary of State. | |
| So what we're doing now is calling out where the governor has not supported the law. | |
| We know that he's not enforcing law right now, and he's let the law enforcement uh officers with her on the vine, but he's also letting our schools being taken over by the woke uh mob. | |
| And then here's the big thing economic development. | |
| What he's doing is fighting me on on eliminating the state income tax. | |
| We know that would be a big boom to our economy here, like it has been for Florida and Tennessee and Texas. | |
| And in addition to that, he's giving hundreds of million now, one point five billion dollars to a company primarily owned by George Soros, a California woke company to come into Georgia, and uh this is a type of economic growth that is not productive, doesn't give a good return for taxpayers, Sean. | |
| I totally agree. | |
| Now, President Trump has endorsed you over the incumbent. | |
| It's always tough to take on an incumbent and in a race like yours, the gubernatorial race in Georgia. | |
| Uh, what is that endorsement meant to you in this race? | |
| It's huge. | |
| In Georgia, uh, President Trump has a stronger following in Georgia than any other state in the country. | |
| That endorsement gives me credibility that that means that I'm a fighter. | |
| Um Donald Trump would never have endorsed me if he if I hadn't stood with him in 16 to get him elected, and in 17 and 18 in the United States Senate to get his uh economic agenda passed and to get it uh implemented. | |
| Uh he is fighting. | |
| He's done a in-person rally here with tens of thousands of people here. | |
| We did a telerally the other night with uh uppers of a hundred thousand people on it. | |
| I mean, it's he is all into this race. | |
| It's so important that if we want a conservative Republican in the White House in twenty-four and we want the Senate majority back this year, we have to win that Senate seat, Georgia, but more importantly, you have to win this governor's seat. | |
| And I don't believe that Brian Kemp, who has divided the party, can pull the MAGA voter out in November, and that's the problem. | |
| I think that is a big problem in the state of Georgia. | |
| That would also impact uh the Senate race, which is critical. | |
| Uh that's an that I'm looking at Herschel Walker as a guarantee pickup, and I think you and him do better as a one two punch, uh, which is why I've supported your candidacy. | |
| Um for and I have many of the same criticisms you do of Brian Kemp. | |
| I don't dislike him. | |
| I don't even know him. | |
| I've never talked to the guy. | |
| Maybe once I've talked to him, I don't know. | |
| And he um I just don't think he served the people of Georgia particularly well. | |
| Um, and it's just going to be interesting uh to see how this thing comes out. | |
| Now my understanding is early voting has already started, and when is it, the 24th? | |
| Uh May 24th is election day. | |
| Early voting started this past Monday. | |
| We have more early voting in Georgia than states like Delaware and New Jersey and New York, Sean. | |
| Uh, this idea that Stacy Abrams is perpetrated about voter suppression in Georgia is a lie from the pit of hell. | |
| I'm encouraging everybody to get out and vote, Sean. | |
| And so far it's very encouraging. | |
| A big percentage of people voting early already are though are people who have not voted in a primary before. | |
| So that is good news for us. | |
| What do you think about Stacey Abrams who had next to no money, tons of debt when she ran for governor four years ago, and now she's a multimillionaire? | |
| Well, it's it's a crime, really. | |
| I mean, the way she's been able to manipulate uh campaign finance and all these super packs and everything, drawing these big salaries and so forth, but she is pandering on the back of the people of Georgia. | |
| She doesn't care about the people in Georgia. | |
| She wants to run for president. | |
| She said it publicly. | |
| She wants open vote voting here. | |
| She wants HR one, which is a national voting law, and she is going to be Biden's biggest supporter, if you can imagine that, uh, if we if we allow that. | |
| This is a train wreck waiting to happen. | |
| There's no Republican going to win in 24 in the White House if Stacey Abens is the governor of Georgia. | |
| Well, this is an important race. | |
| Early voting in Georgia is going on now. | |
| People want to read your positions on the issues. | |
| Where do they go, uh Senator? | |
| Thanks, Sean. | |
| It's votePurdue.com. | |
| VotePurdue.com. | |
| Thanks, Sean. | |
| All right, we really appreciate you being with us. | |
| We'll uh check in before election day. | |
| Uh this is an important primary. | |
| All right, quick break. | |
| We'll come right back. | |
| We'll get to the phones. | |
| 800-941-SEAN if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Music Let's hit our busy phones here. | |
| Gene is in Florida. | |
| Gene, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Thank you, Sean. | |
| I'm a longtime listener, watcher, your TV show, and this is the first time I've ever called. | |
| Well, thank you. | |
| Thank you for calling. | |
| I'm glad you I'm glad you made the big step, and I hope you'll be do it more often. | |
| Well, listen, uh, I've got a lot of great friends that uh in my mind they just don't get it. | |
| They like everything that Trump did, but they say, well, I think it'd be good if we had somebody else, maybe if you would endorse somebody and not run himself. | |
| You think uh he's toxic to some people, etc. | |
| etc. | |
| I uh I have a different theory altogether. | |
| I mean did you see the question that I gave him the last interview when he was on TV? | |
| We played it on radio also. | |
| And I asked him, I said, okay, I know you're not gonna answer the question of whether you're running. | |
| He can't because of election laws, basically. | |
| Uh he just says I think people will be happy with my decision. | |
| So I already knew that answer. | |
| So I said, Is there any one thing that you can think of off the top of your head that you would do differently? | |
| And he gave I thought it was a really interesting answer. | |
| He said, Um, I know the fake news media now for who they are and and how toxic they are. | |
| I'd spend far less time dealing with them and more time fixing the mess that Joe Biden is leaving this country in. | |
| And I really got the impression that he meant it, number one. | |
| Number two, I got the impression that if if if he stays away from the media, he's far better off. | |
| He doesn't need them anyway. | |
| Um, I think in my opinion. | |
| I I Sean, I agree with you. | |
| The other thing that people just don't give any recollection to is the fact that this guy was being attacked on all sides for four years. | |
| Or actually started longer, even before he uh got in, uh got elected. | |
| But uh and he was you know, had nobody that uh that he could really count on, and it took him a while to sort some things out with some of his choices for some of the positions that he had to fill. | |
| I think he's learned a heck of a lot, too. | |
| So, you know, this idea of you know Ron DeSantis, who's my governor, and we love him. | |
| He was my congressman before. | |
| Uh but I don't believe that Ron DeSantis can get it done even if Trump endorses her. | |
| And look at what he doesn't run. | |
| I I'll tell you right now. | |
| Look, I happen to like both both of them. | |
| Um I I think DeSantis is on record as saying that he would serve out his full term, and I I've heard people speculate about it. | |
| Ron DeSantis is what, 43, 44 years old? | |
| Um I actually would make this bold prediction. | |
| I think one day he will be a president. | |
| I really believe that. | |
| I think he I believe that too. | |
| Um about the idea of a Trump DeSantis ticket. | |
| Yeah, that's okay, but I think the rest of the people in your state are gonna be mad if you lose their governor, and and one of them would have to be Trump has to move out of state. | |
| You have to move either back to New York or to New Jersey or wherever the hell he wants to go. | |
| But um for that to happen, I think it would be a powerful ticket, uh, to be honest. | |
| I think they're I I I'm very fond of both of them. | |
| I think Ron has been a phenomenal congressman. | |
| Uh I've known him for a long time. | |
| Um, a phenomenal governor. | |
| I think he'll win re-election fairly easily. | |
| Um I think uh the world of him. | |
| I truly believe he'll be president. | |
| I think he's an arab parent. | |
| Um, if I were to recommend, I would say I I like I think it's always in the best interest of people to finish the office they took on first. | |
| And uh if Trump ran and won in 2024, uh, I could easily see him being the front runner right out of the box. | |
| Well, that's what I you know, but that's why I was just wondering if if he was on the ticket, he'd have that experience, and we could maybe look at twelve years minimum that we could control some things and really get things straight. | |
| We we we've gotta save this country. | |
| Right now, the country is a mess. | |
| I didn't think it could happen this bad this fast. | |
| It has, it's not good, and we all know it's not good, and we've got to do something to fix it. | |
| Anyway, appreciate your call. | |
| Thank you so much for being with us. | |
| 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the uh program, you're gonna meet a congresswoman that's absolutely amazing from New Hampshire uh at the bottom of this hour. | |
| Uh, and then we're gonna get your calls coming up. | |
| Quick break right back. | |
| Hey there. | |
| I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| All right, speaking of the truth about Congress, um, there's a conservative in New Hampshire. | |
| Now I I love the state of New Hampshire, live free or die. | |
| Sounds like a great book title, doesn't it? | |
| Uh America and the World on the Brink. | |
| Uh thank you for making it a number one bestseller. | |
| But anyway, the people of New Hampshire are ruggedly independent. | |
| They remind me a lot of people in like South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska. | |
| They just is this defines a New England state that is very different from the rest of New England, like, for example, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, just to begin with. | |
| And anyway, so we have a a poll coming up, and I've been friends with former senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown for a long time, and he was the ambassador to New Zealand under uh President Trump. | |
| And interestingly, one day I'm talking to him, and he tells me a story that that his wife, Gail Huff Brown, uh comes home and says, Well, if you're not running, I'm running. | |
| And she is now running, and apparently with the elections and polling indicating amazing dissatisfaction with the status quo in New Hampshire. | |
| I really believe that this is a very, very winnable race. | |
| When I see and identify real conservative, she is a conservative. | |
| She's a working mom. | |
| She's a grandmother, military spouse. | |
| She reported uh uh 30 years she reported at the news in Boston on television and uh known for giving her voice to the voiceless. | |
| Um this is her campaign ad, and of course we were gonna invite her her celebrity husband, but why bother? | |
| Anyway, here. | |
| I'm Gail Hoff Brown. | |
| I'm standing at the United States Mexico border. | |
| Under Joe Biden and Chris Pappett, our border has become a national security and humanitarian crisis. | |
| I spent the day with border officials, and like so many in law enforcement, these agents are understaffed, under-resourced, and often underappreciated. | |
| And while Biden and Papas do nothing, we see more trafficking of humans and separation of families at the border, and more trafficking of deadly drugs like fentanyl that come to New Hampshire. | |
| Enough is enough. | |
| We need to support our border patrol agents. | |
| We need to finish building the wall. | |
| And we need to secure our border. | |
| Anyway, uh with Gail Huff Brown now joins us. | |
| Uh all right, so your husband's a senator, then he becomes an ambassador, and you're watching the political scene. | |
| He's not well he's not g getting back into politics. | |
| And you came home as I understand the story goes and said to Scott Brown, I'm running. | |
| And what was that reaction like? | |
| Uh you're not doing that. | |
| Please tell me you're not doing that, honey. | |
| I love you so much. | |
| And if you do that, I don't know what to do. | |
| By the way, you're not you're talking about what Scott said. | |
| Yeah, because guess what? | |
| Guess what? | |
| We've already been to the swamp once. | |
| Why would you go back? | |
| Why would you go back? | |
| Listen, thank you, Sean. | |
| I appreciate you having me on. | |
| It was shocking for him, but we had spent four years down in the Indo-Pacific, and we were supporting the America first, uh, you know, obviously the America first agenda. | |
| We were sent by President Trump and Scott, the ambassador, myself as the president of the diplomatic spouses, and every single day, you know, we were battling back against China and against the the bad actors in that region. | |
| And uh i I I became ever more aware of how wonderful and amazing it was to be an American. | |
| Well, we came home and we found a very, very different America under Joe Biden. | |
| So different. | |
| We didn't even recognize it. | |
| And at first I thought, okay, well, let's give this some time, let's give it some time. | |
| And then the day of the withdrawal, I was absolutely infuriated when I watched. | |
| We pulled our you know, not we, Joe Biden. | |
| He said right from the beginning, I'm taking full responsibility. | |
| He pulled our troops out of there, leaving hundreds of Americans behind. | |
| And I'll tell you something, Sean, and and you know this. | |
| Our commander in chief has a one job. | |
| That job is to protect Americans at home and abroad. | |
| And he couldn't even do that. | |
| I was furious, and I've seen a lot of people. | |
| Look, I'm still furious about it. | |
| And I am too. | |
| I am too. | |
| The fact that we had 13 Americans who were killed there, I mean, that's criminal. | |
| And I've said all along, that is criminal. | |
| And uh, we have to stop Joe Biden. | |
| And Scott said, Well, what are you gonna do about it? | |
| I said, you know what? | |
| I'm tired of complaining, Scott. | |
| I'm tired of complaining. | |
| I'm tired of saying, oh uh you know, this and that. | |
| And no, I'm gonna step up and I'm gonna have a voice in the arena. | |
| Or I'm just gonna shut up. | |
| And he said, Okay, fine, do it. | |
| You know, I'm here we are. | |
| So let's go over, and I've now looked through all the materials, and I'll be honest, Gail. | |
| Uh I'm not giving endorsements out uh easily this season, but I am endorsing your candidacy. | |
| And the main reason is your platform, and I want the people in New Hampshire and the rest of the country to hear and understand the type of candidates that I will support, um, like you, like Herschel Walker, like Tim Scott, uh, like Dr. Oz, uh, who got just smear job today. | |
| Um politics is such an ugly sport. | |
| Um I guess they call it a blood sport for a good reason. | |
| And I want you to explain your philosophy so people can understand in your words, not mine. | |
| I could tell everybody what it means for for me to be a conservative in in less than a minute, but I want to hear from you. | |
| Oh, it's so simple. | |
| It's so simple, and people make it so complicated. | |
| It's about supporting the Constitution, it's about supporting freedom for everyone, it's about low taxes, it's about liberty, and it's about allowing for prosperity and happiness. | |
| I mean, God forbid, and happiness. | |
| It's about providing. | |
| What if my grandchild, I have a one-year-old granddaughter, and what kind of America is she gonna grow up in? | |
| Is she going to have the opportunities that Scott and I have had? | |
| Scott and I came from nothing. | |
| We came from nothing. | |
| And we worked and we worked and we worked and we worked and we worked so hard. | |
| And we we we did achieve the American dream. | |
| We bought a house, we raised a family. | |
| We I mean will they have that opportunity? | |
| Not if we're a socialist country, and that seems to be the direction we're headed. | |
| So I am convinced that we have to turn our country around. | |
| I think it's the only way, and I call this an inflection point for the country, and and I've said it on other elections, I've never but it's never been this urgent for me, in as much as it's a tipping point election. | |
| And uh I I I never thought, even writing live free or die, which I think you might appreciate being from New Hampshire. | |
| Um by the way, if you're just joining us, uh Gail Huff Brown is with us, Scott Brown's wife, she's running for Congress in New Hampshire, a very important pickup seat for the Republicans. | |
| Uh they've got to get this seat. | |
| And and anyway, so I I'm sitting and I'm watching. | |
| I never I said live free or die, America and the world on the brink, and I really had no idea how right I would be. | |
| And it turns out I was more right than I ever dreamed I'd be. | |
| And I wish I was wrong. | |
| We now see the economy spiraling even more out of control every day. | |
| Uh we see what what reducing the world supply of the lifeblood of the of every economy, energy, oil, gas, what it is done. | |
| And now we have a president begging to make a deal with the Iranian mullahs, uh begging, you know, the Venezuelan dictator, thug, and we have all of this energy right here under our own feet, and we don't tap into it. | |
| How crazy is that? | |
| It's i uh it makes no sense. | |
| We were energy independent under Donald Trump under President Trump, and the fact that the country has just shifted directions so quickly and fallen into this kind of inflation, gas prices. | |
| I mean, I n I have friends here in New Hampshire that are having a hard time making ends meet. | |
| They can't afford to to buy food. | |
| They can't afford to to pay for the gas to get to work. | |
| They it it's just this is really affecting Americans, and I wish people would wake up and realize that people are really hurting all across this country. | |
| We have to do something to help them. | |
| We have to. | |
| You know, if if if America would just return to the policies of Donald Trump on energy on the borders, law and order, say for so everyone can be safe and secure. | |
| Uh if we had parental involvement and education, have school choice and break this unholy alliance with teachers unions uh and and the Democratic Party. | |
| Uh if we went back to lower taxes, not raising taxes, every problem that I'm mentioning here was preventable, and all of them are easily fixable. | |
| It will take time now because of all the damage that's being done, but it can be fixed. | |
| It can be fixed. | |
| But the first thing we have to do, as you know, Sean, is we have to stop Joe Biden. | |
| We have to stop him. | |
| The only way we can do that is to put up a blockade. | |
| You know, and then they have all sorts of other fancy ways of getting around that with uh, you know, reconciliations. | |
| Uh we know that all too well. | |
| Um and and the filibuster, and we we have to be able to take our country back. | |
| And the only way we're going to do that is obviously by putting a Republican back in the corner office. | |
| It has to happen. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| Now, I think this is gonna be the year that the Republicans will take the majority in the House. | |
| I think the Senate is uh a little bit tougher. | |
| Uh what is your what is your position on where the race stands in terms of right direction, wrong direction, and and generic ballot. | |
| Well, um in terms of uh the country, here's my biggest concern, Sean. | |
| I keep hearing a Republican say, oh, red wave, red wave. | |
| You know what? | |
| There's still a long time until the election. | |
| We cannot, we cannot sit back and say, Oh, we're gonna win. | |
| We're gonna win. | |
| We have to fight every single day, every single day. | |
| And it concerns me a lot when I hear Republicans say, Oh, don't worry, we're gonna take plenty of seats. | |
| Um, I hope we do. | |
| I hope we do, I hope we do have a red wave. | |
| But what if we don't? | |
| I mean, the the point is we have to get people out to vote. | |
| Do not stay home and say, ah, You know, my neighbor, he's a good Republican, he's a good she's a good conservative. | |
| She's gonna go vote. | |
| No, no. | |
| Everybody has to go out and vote. | |
| In my particular race, I mean I there are some um there are some opponents in the primary. | |
| Um I obviously am very, very much um running this race to win it. | |
| I have an opponent, Matt Mowers. | |
| I don't know if you heard about this, but um there's a voting scandal around him. | |
| He voted here in New Hampshire um in the presidential primary 2016 when he was working for Chris Christie, and then uh in the same election, went down to New Jersey where he's from and voted again. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, this is exactly what our party is fighting. | |
| This is exactly what our party is fighting. | |
| We have to stop. | |
| We have to stop voter fraud. | |
| It has to happen. | |
| And election integrity is a major emphasis of my campaign, along with border security. | |
| Yeah, and energy independence and low taxes and less government and peace through strength. | |
| Really simple principles, but they work profoundly in my mind. | |
| Yes, they do. | |
| Uh anyway, how can people get in touch with you or want to find out more about your positions, Scale Huff Brown running for the first district in the great state uh of New Hampshire? | |
| How can people read your position papers? | |
| I would love to have them go to my website. | |
| It's Gail Huff Brown for Congress, and um they will find out everything I know and and uh all of the policies that I support and the fact that I am a conservative who believes that we can take our country back. | |
| We have to be hopeful. | |
| We have to be hopeful, but we have to work hard, Sean. | |
| We have to work hard. | |
| Uh that's the only way, and you have to act like you're five points down and fight that way the entire time. | |
| We'll watch this race closely. | |
| Anyway, Gail Huff Brown, best of luck, appreciate you being with us. | |
| All right, let's hit our busy phones. | |
| Mike is in Florida. | |
| Mike, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Hey, good man. | |
| How are you doing, Sean? | |
| I'm good, my friend. | |
| What's going on? | |
| Awesome, man. | |
| Yeah, no, you know, I just wanted to talk uh I'm down here in Orlando, Florida, and uh I, you know, to add on with all this uh this craziness going on, man. | |
| My truck is uh it it definitely feels the uh the gas prices. | |
| I went from uh filling it up with the DEF fluid about five hundred dollars all the way to uh just just barely underneath a thousand dollars to fill it up, man. | |
| It's uh it's really crazy how uh how one president of the United States, one president has that much authority over the entire world. | |
| The entire world is crumbling because Joe Biden sat into presidency, man. | |
| I think that's just absolutely nuts. | |
| Now, you're a trucker. | |
| Let me ask you, you're not making any less money than you used to. | |
| You're just charging more for your services uh to cover the higher cost of diesel, correct? | |
| Well, actually, I'm not an owner operator. | |
| I I work for a company. | |
| However, I will say that my boss did just recently give me a a uh a raise so it would cover all this craziness going on. | |
| I told him, dude, I don't think I'm gonna be able to stay in Orlando. | |
| And he was like, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait. | |
| I'll give you a race, I'll give you your race. | |
| So it worked out for me, you know. | |
| So I'm I'm actually uh I'm I'm I'm all right. | |
| I'm I'm feeling I'm feeling just like I did last year, you know, just about par with the bills and everything. | |
| So in other words, you you didn't get a raise, but it's not called in other words, all these costs, additional costs, because Joe artificially reduces supply of energy is now being passed on to we the consumer. | |
| And by the way, you shouldn't make one penny less. | |
| Uh as a matter of fact, demand for trucking is for the last six months. | |
| I think it's waned recently a little bit, uh has never been higher. | |
| Listen, you are so important to the lifeline of our economy. | |
| Um I cannot thank you for enough for what you do every day. | |
| Really appreciate you being on there and and giving us a bird's eye view of what's really going on in the economy. | |
| Yeah, I have friends of mine that are contractors down in Florida. | |
| Florida's gonna be far more immune to the impact of the negative impacts on this economy because so many people are moving there. | |
