This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, 57 days, an inflection point, tipping point election, any cliche you want.
It means more to me now than it ever has, and I've said that in past elections, so um it's just it's gotten that much worse.
Whoever thought we get it would things would get this bad this quickly.
Are you better off than you were two years ago?
Well, less than two years, but you get the point.
Are you better off since Joe Biden and the radical climate alarmist cult took over?
And if you do think you are, what measure do you make that decision?
You see, because Democrats, they want to talk about anything other than their failed record.
They don't want this election to be about substance.
They don't want it to be about ideas.
They want it to be about the they will run on three things.
They will run, number one, simple, basic, fundamental, democratic, old school lying, which is Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and so on and so forth.
They'll run on all things January 6th and MAGA Republicans, and they'll they'll try to scare women into thinking abortion is now illegal in America, and it's not.
That was not what the Roe v.
Wade decision was about.
It was a decision where it is not an enumerated right in the Constitution.
And when it's not enumerated, the Constitution, the Tenth Amendment allows then for the states to decide, which is what they're doing, which means states like New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey will have very liberal abortion laws.
And some states may have some restrictions.
Are there going to be states that outlaw it panic completely?
Yeah, I tend to think probably not many, if any at all, in the end.
We'll see.
They want to focus on, you know, think of everything that they've thrown at Donald Trump.
I'm watching it this weekend.
I'm watching now.
We have the alleged misuse of inauguration funds.
You know, or now it's the alleged misuse.
You just can't make this up of his super PAC.
You have the Russia collusion hoax that dragged this country through hell for three long years, all based on a lie, a phony Russian misinformation dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton to distract from the fact that she had top secret classified uh emails on her server that even James Comey acknowledged existed.
Never mind the 33,000 uh emails that were deleted with bleach bit and the devices that were destroyed with hammers and the missing SIM cards to devices.
They've gone after Trump on the Russia collusion hoax.
Remember the emoluments cause uh clause investigation, you know, for possible violations of this clause prohibiting residents from accepting gifts, offices, titles, etc.
from foreign governments.
Remember the investigation ended by the Supreme Court when Trump was out of office.
A little late then.
You know, they've accused Trump, alleged misuse of inauguration funds.
Remember that happened.
You know, House Ways and Means Committee investigating Trump's taxes, Trump's hotel lease investigation, the oversight committee investigating that, the foreign gifts investigation, you know, the Fulton County DA ongoing investigation, the NAACP legal defense fund investigation into voting rights act, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the January 6th circus, which apparently we're gonna have more hearings when they get back from their August recess.
By the way, I like when politicians are on recess, so they're doing less damage usually.
You know, the impeachment over Ukraine, but ignoring Joe's quid pro quo.
You know, alleged hush money payments and potential, you know, pardons uh with Michael Cohn, for example, the saving America PAC now investigation, the security clearance process, the Trump net worth investigation, tax investigation, personal email investigation with the with his kids, you know, quote, possible money laundering, communications with Putin investigation.
It just never stops.
Investigation into his valuations of properties.
West can Westchester County DA investigates uh properties.
Investigating truth social, inflated insurance claims, a bank officer who once saw Trump Uh a job, you know, a loan officer potentially trying to trade a loan for a position in the Trump administration.
Trump Foundation, Trump family, you know, tax issues.
I mean, just it never ends.
This is all they have.
What can they run on that has made your life better?
What success have they shown us in this country?
Because I see a mess everywhere I look.
Every city, every town in this country, especially in blue states and blue cities, is seeing record amounts of crime, record amounts of homicides and rapes and other crimes.
It's never been this bad.
This year will probably break last year's record year highs.
It's violence at a level we've never seen before, all related to no bail laws, all related to defund dismantle madness of the Democrats.
How's that working out in every town and every city?
Do you feel safer?
Are you better off than you were since Joe Biden's become president?
Ask yourself these questions.
Now you have the federal government taking in more money than they've ever taken in taxes.
Now they're going to hire 87,000 more IRS agents, more than double the number of IRS agents, what, to harass the rich, they say?
The rich have the accountants, the rich have the lawyers.
Trust me, they will fight them tooth and nail, and all those accountants get paid a lot of money because they know that these tax laws inside and out.
And I'm sure there's not going to be much money or return on investment with 87,000 new agents.
And I guarantee you, the fallback position is going to be to go after small businesses, to go after mom and pop, to go after, you know, hardworking, taxpaying law abiding citizens.
We've already learned that if you make $25,000 or less, uh that you're five times more likely to get an IRS audit.
How is that possible?
Because they think that probably if if you have a job, you probably have side jobs, or you're hiding your income someway.
So don't worry, though, you you don't have the money for the accountants.
You don't have the money for any of this.
What are they gonna run on?
How secure they've made our borders?
I mean, Kamala Harris literally made the statement this weekend, our borders are secure.
And I'm like, what world are you living in?
Because it's never been this bad.
And it's amazing to watch the political jujitsu of Governor Greg Abbott.
Brilliant move on his part, bussing illegal immigrants, and they've dealt with 1.1 million this year alone, never mind the two plus million last year, but 1.1 million and saying, okay, DC, you're a sanctuary city, you take them.
New York City, you're a sanctuary city, you take them.
Illinois, you're a sanctuary city, you take them.
I love what Lori Lightweight did.
She said, I don't want them.
And she puts them on buses again and sends them out to suburbs.
Because she doesn't want illegal immigrants in her city.
And by the way, it's only a small fraction of what Texas and other border states like Arizona are dealing with.
And by the way, Arizona, I'm not, I'm not understanding you people in Arizona.
Why would you ever vote for Mark Kelly again?
Mark Kelly is Chuck Schumer.
Mark Kelly hasn't lifted a finger to help the state of Arizona as it relates to border issues that your state is dealing with and the high cost of dealing with that.
Mark Kelly is a 99% Schumer voter, a 99% Joe Biden supporter.
Why would you ever re-elect this guy?
His polls show he has a lead now over Blake Masters.
That makes no sense to me at all, whatsoever.
Now, Democrats don't, so that's all they've got.
Now, Republicans, if they're smart, they will point this out.
But more importantly, and I know that Kevin McCarthy, whether you like Kevin McCarthy or not, I think this idea is a very smart idea.
The contract with America, I was there.
I was the MC the night that Newt Gingrich became the Speaker of the House.
I was the MC of the event.
I was at the Cobb Galleria, and that night was a wave election year.
Republicans had been out of power in the House of Representatives.
It seems unthinkable, but it was true.
Forty years.
And he came up with it started with this project called Renewing American Civilization, which evolved into the contract with America.
And every time Newt did an interview, he would pull it out of his pocket and says, we're going to do this in the first hundred days.
Republicans have to tell America what they stand for and what they're going to fight for, and they need to sign their name to it.
Now, I don't know why the Senate is somewhat reluctant and resistant to join Kevin McCarthy in this, but that doesn't mean individual senators can't or Senate candidates can't sign on to this.
You know, but if they go over the issues of conservatism, it's not that complicated.
Republicans, conservatives, it's what we believe is simple.
Liberty and freedom, capitalism in our constitution, lower taxes.
We're not an undertax country.
Less bureaucracy.
Get out of the way and let Americans freely do what they're born to do in an environment without burdensome regulation all the time.
Law and order, so every American safe and secure.
That means they can pursue happiness.
Without law and order, you have nothing.
You can't leave your house.
And many Americans feel trapped in their homes because of the lawlessness that has been allowed to grow and build all over the country.
Simple stuff.
A promise to give parents a choice in education so that they can send their kids to schools that are committed to reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers.
If you want a woke curriculum, go stay in the public school.
And break this unholy alliance with teachers' unions and the Democratic Party.
You know, every conservative, every candidate should pledge to make not only America energy independent again, so we're not begging Iran and the Saudis and Venezuela and OPEC for the lifeblood of our economy at these premium rates.
But we should not only be energy independent, we should be energy dominant.
If we tap the natural resources we have and we're able to supply Western Europe, this would make America the richest nation on earth.
We have all of those resources available to us.
And I'm an all the above guy.
If you come up with a better, cheaper form of energy, cleaner, I'm all for it.
But until then, this is the lifeblood of the economy.
No problem with that.
You got to get this economy out of this the doldrums of this Biden inflation.
America should be energy independent.
America should be energy dominant.
America needs to enforce the laws at our border.
We have laws.
We're a nation of laws, and that we should enforce those laws.
Reinstate the Stay in Mexico policy.
Finish building the wall.
Keep our borders safe and secure.
You want to come to America, you got to come in legally.
You got to give a security background check, a health check during a pandemic, and certainly show that you have the means to take care of yourself and won't financially rely on the American people.
We can't afford it, unfortunately.
Love to be able to give free money away, but you can't give away money you don't have.
Simple stuff.
This is not complicated.
If Republicans and conservatives run on these principles, you know, access to health care, telemedicine, these healthcare cooperatives like Dr. Josh Umber in Wichita, Kansas.
He's duplicated this thousands of times now around the country.
Concierge medical care for every American, 50 bucks a month for an adult.
And he negotiates directly with pharmaceutical companies.
And you leave his office with your medicine if you need blood pressure medicine or cholesterol medicine, whatever you happen to need.
Even negotiates cancer medicines for crying out loud.
Hold the government that's accountable.
Fix this, you know, make sure the FBI becomes the premier law enforcement agency in the world again.
Get rid of the corruption in the upper echelon.
Stop weaponizing the Department of Justice.
Reinstate the principles of equal justice and equal application of our laws.
This is all at stake in 57 days.
And I hope you're paying attention.
Because we'll get the government we deserve one way or the other.
It's that urgent.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, toll-free.
It's 800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, when you weaponize the Department of Justice.
When you have when you have an impeachment like we did with Ukraine over an alleged quid pro quo and a phone call with 50 people on it, and Donald Trump saying, Now you're not going to abuse and waste the money that your predecessor, like your predecessors have, have you, talking to the newly elected Zelensky versus Joe Biden, you're not getting a billion taxpayer dollars unless you fire a prosecutor that we know is investigating his zero experienced son being paid millions.
You know that this power tends to shift back and forth in this country.
And when Republicans get the reins of power and all the investigative tools available to them, uh, they will investigate the quid pro quo.
They will investigate the laptop from hell.
There is implication after implication that we already know in Hunter Biden's laptop, number one, of crimes being committed, everything from drug use to prostitution and so on and so forth.
But all of the information, all of the evidence as it relates to Joe Biden.
Now we have 14 meetings confirmed Joe Biden with Hunter and his foreign business partners.
He said over and over again during the campaign, he I've not once one time ever spoken to my son about his foreign business dealings.
That was a lie.
And why did he withhold a billion dollars to fire an obscure prosecutor in Ukraine except that he was investigating his son Hunter, and he knew damn well what he was doing.
And son of a bee, they did it in six hours.
They fired the guy because they needed the money.
Anyway, so all of this will now come back.
The big guy getting, you know, his cut, his share of the money put aside.
You know, Hunter complaining bitterly about paying half the money that he makes to his father, complaining bitterly about you know, paying off the repairs to his father's home and his father's bills, etc., etc.
By the way, a majority of people, latest Rasmussen survey, if the Republicans move win the House and move to impeach Joe Biden, a majority of the American people would support the move.
52% of likely voters said they would support the impeachment of Biden.
38% saying they would strongly support it.
Republicans and independent voters overwhelmingly agree that Biden should be impeached along with a third of the Democrats.
That includes 77% of Republicans, 50% of independents, 32% of Democrats even believe it.
Maybe that's why no matter where Joe Biden goes, no Democratic candidate wants to be seen with the guy.
Bye.
Why would you?
His policies are atrocious, and he's got the lowest approval rating of any modern day president.
Wall Street Journal editorial board points out what we've been pointing out, how dishonest the White House has been on the student loan plan.
I mean, the Wharton business model had it right.
It's going to be about a trillion dollars.
The CBO can't figure out exactly how much def the debt is going to be or the deficit is going to be this year because they feel like they're being lied to and that they have no idea how much of this money is being paid out before the end of the fiscal year.
They don't know.
Um the Biden administration has proposed new regulations on the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools to expand the protections that include sexual orientation and gender identity.
I don't know if that means does that now mean that men born biologically men can play women's sports?
That's what it sounds like.
The Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies recently released a study highlighting what they call the dirty dozen defects of the draft, and they say the defects, the group said that fired up parents and those that would require schools and colleges to allow biological males to compete in girls' sports and use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their quote gender identity, regardless of what their actual gender was when they were born.
There's a John Roberts and a rare comments publicly hit back and said people can say what they want.
It's simply because people disagree with an opinion is not a basis for questioning the legitimacy of the court.
This in reaction to Kamala Harris ripping the quote activist Trump court.
Well, we know how this works with this elections have consequences.
Remember, we were reminded by that of that by uh Barack Obama quite often.
Now, the one thing the Democrats don't want to talk about in the next 57 days is their economy, which is a disaster.
There's a zero hedge article confirming what we've been telling you is going on.
The Federal Reserve report released Friday, Biden's recession has now robbed you, the American people over six trillion dollars in household wealth.
And it's only going to get worse because the housing crash is now in its infancy stages, as I predicted.
In other words, new home construction is now at a screeching halt.
Sale of pre-existing homes is now pretty much stopped as well.
Nobody wants to pay uh get a 30% uh a 30-year mortgage at 7% when they could have gotten one last year at this time for 3%.
Anyway, so the numbers are definitely increasing all across food banks in major cities coast to coast.
We're seeing very long lines in rural locations.
Our numbers are increasing.
Co-manager of the Columbia Falls Food Bank in Northwest Montana.
For example, this spring, Nashville's little pantry closed down after five years of operation.
Elsewhere in the U.S., rising prices are forcing dozens of charitable nonprofits to temporary close or reduce services.
You have a case of uh their little pantry in Nashville closed down.
New Jersey's Angels Community Outreach announced a temporary closure because of supply shortages.
Utah has a food pantry canceled an important food drive because of staffing and logistical issues among the food banks that remain open.
Some are now putting limitations on how often people can visit and how much food they can get.
Federal Reserve reports U.S. household household wealth declined by over $6 trillion, $6.1 trillion in the second quarter to its lowest in a year.
And that deals with stocks, and it's only going to get worse with the housing department housing collapse, which is we're in the middle of it right now.
Household worth went down $143.8 trillion at the end of June from $149.9 trillion at the end of March.
Its second consecutive quarterly decline, which is why we're in a recession.
Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, is now saying the speaking the obvious that gas prices are going to be on the rise again.
Of course they're going to be on the rise again.
Now, Joe Biden has dangerously reduced our strategic petroleum reserves.
He's doing it prior to the election to artificially reduce the price of gasoline, but in the meantime, he's compromising national security to do it.
And yesterday, Janet Yellen warned that gas prices are going to spike again this winter.
Well, because it's going to stop.
There's not going to be much left.
We're at a 38-year low in terms of the strategic petroleum reserves.
The Biden Pentagon is urging troops to go on food stamps.
Couldn't believe that in the epic times today.
U.S. Army is recommending soldiers apply for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps to help cover the rising costs of inflation.
With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they've set and used before.
New guidance reads quote, soldiers of all ranks can see guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army's financial readiness program.
The guidance point soldiers to the food stamp program and links them to the program's website.
You know, if we can't take care of our nations, soldiers, if if they're being impacted to this extent, sending them to get food stamps is not the answer.
If the recession is going to be long and it appears like there's going to be no soft landing, maybe the better choice would be to give them more money so they can uh get paid a living wage, as Democrats often say.
Pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, um Americans spent more on taxes in 2021 than on Food, clothing, and health care combined, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
So last year, once again, Americans spent more on act more on average on taxes than they did on their food, clothing, and health care combined.
Think about that.
American consumer units spent an average of $15,495 on food, clothing, and health care while paying an average of $16,729 in total taxes to federal, state, and local governments.
You think there's something wrong with that?
I think there's something wrong with that.
The rise in deaths, Americans drank more during the pandemic, meaning alcohol.
National data have changed only recently if it become available.
Alcohol tax revenues collected by the U.S. Treasury Department went up 8% in the fiscal year that ended September 30th, 2021, compared to the previous year.
There is a possibility of a railway and port strikes threatening the supply chain recovery, if you even want to call it a recovery.
I don't think we ever got out of it.
Unbelievable.
Now we're going to have higher gas prices.
U.S. national debt is nearing $31 trillion and counting.
How are we going to pay that back?
Who's going to pay that back?
When are we going to pay that back?
Nobody ever talks about limited government anymore.
Republicans need to now start talking about limited government and balanced budgets, you know, simple, basic, live within your mean stuff that the average family tries to do.
So many families now are maxing out their credit cards just to make ends meet because two-thirds of Americans now are living paycheck to paycheck, and many aren't making it.
They're coming up short every month.
By the way, the Eiffel Tower, their twinkling lights, defining the nighttime Paris skyline is to fall dark because of the energy crisis.
Coal is now making a comeback in terms of energy all over Europe because they are they have allowed themselves to give in to the climate alarmist cultists in their countries, and that caused them to become reliant on a hostile regime, Russia, led by a hostile actor, Vladimir Putin, the same exact mistake we're making.
We have all the domestic resources you could ever want to be energy independent.
We were energy independent under Donald Trump.
Now we're begging Iran and Venezuela and Saudi Arabia and OPEC to please increase production.
When the obvious answer would be to produce it here and not only become energy independent, become energy dominant.
We have such a vast array, hundreds of years worth of supply of natural gas, oil, and coal, we can supply the rest of the world and make America rich.
And you can still be searching for cheaper, cleaner energy in the meantime.
Well, for the short term, meaning the next couple of decades, I don't see this dream of windmills and solar panels coming to fruition.
But anyway, coal is now making a comeback in Europe because they're desperate.
And their desperation is they're expecting people to pay 20 to 30% of their total income just to heat their homes this winter.
That is scary.
And they probably won't have enough.
It's unbelievable.
All of this has happened.
Now, this whole guaranteed income program is now California has become the epicenter of the movement.
Los Angeles program funded primarily by city benefits.
3,200 people who have at least one child, annual income below the federal poverty level.
Several cities now moving ahead with efforts to use private money.
Oakland pledged to give 600 low-income families 500 bucks for 18 months.
Why don't we just have an economy that is thriving?
If we supplied all of Western Europe with all of their energy needs, because we have the resources, the natural resources to do it, and we can do it fast, we can do it cleaner, and we can do it cheaper and get it over to Europe, and they will no longer be reliant on Vladimir Putin.
Let them be reliant on us.
Let us help our friends and allies out.
Energy dominance also is good for national security.
MBC News, most Americans say they are now feeling the sting of inflation in their finances.
Glad that they're finally catching up.
The California gas car ban is interesting.
Electric vehicle adoption must be quickly, must happen quickly to beat climate change, according to Pete Buda judge.
You gotta rush to get your electric vehicle.
Does this idiot not know that it's $20,000 on average more for an electric vehicle over a gas powered vehicle?
Does this guy not know what Mother Earth has to suffer through as you mine for cobalt and manganese and nickel and all the other minerals that go into producing those batteries?
Or is he not figured that out?
By the way, New York Times has figured out the Democratic poll numbers may be inflated.
Oh, so maybe they lied to us all summer to deflate conservatives' hopes of maybe having a good election year.
Herschel Walker, who'll join us at the top of the hour, is now leading Raphael Warnock by three.
Dr. Roz, by the way, this weekend rushed into the crowd after a woman collapsed about 30 seconds after she collapsed.
He rushed from backstage, hopped over a barrier, and made a preliminary assessment.
Stayed with the woman until medics could put her on a stretcher and wheel her out of the venue.
By the way, we'll play Fetterman later.
He uh had a tough time speaking again this weekend.
By the way, all these Democrats don't want to debate.
Raphael Warnock doesn't want to debate.
Fetterman doesn't want to debate.
Carrie Lake wants to debate her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs.
She won't debate Kari Lake.
Why not?
What is she afraid of?
Anyway, 800-941 Shauna's our number.
You want to be with us?
Uh we have Herschel Walker at the top of the hour.
Then we'll get to your calls.
Herschel Walker, latest poll has him up by three in the state of Georgia.
I still say don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Assume that you're 10 points behind and fight that hard.
Uh 57 days till election day.
We'll check in with him later on, James O'Keefe, and much more straight up.
Export Selection
