| So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi. | |
| Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why. | |
| Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. | |
| From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. | |
| This is Fiasco Benghazi. | |
| What difference at this point does it make? | |
| Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| Growned up in information overload. | |
| Hi, Deuce Roundup Information Overload Hour, 800-941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the uh program. | |
| Um just to remind you, you know, look at look at the big lie that our media took as it relates to Israel in their in their ongoing defense of their country and fight for their very survival. | |
| You know, the the big lie that Hamas propaganda put out that oh, Israel just bombed a hospital and killed over 500 doctors and nurses and children. | |
| Well, it turns out that all of it was nothing but a big fat lie. | |
| And that in fact the people that fired the weapon that didn't even hit the hospital, but the parking lot next to the hospital was the Islamic jihad. | |
| Uh, but you know, it didn't stop the media from lying and wanting to believe the worst. | |
| Um, and and this is this has been the MO of this terror organization for many, many decades. | |
| You know, that's why they fire their missiles, their their rockets from uh schools. | |
| That's why they use hospitals. | |
| That's why they have human shields. | |
| That's why they take hostages. | |
| That's why they have a a tunnel, uh, a network of terror tunnels. | |
| I've been in them, I've shown them on TV, you've seen me in them. | |
| Uh, that's why they put their command headquarters uh in a tunnel underneath the biggest hospital in Gaza, uh, where they keep their military equipment and and other munitions, etc. | |
| Well, now the issue is what is the Senate going to do in terms of helping Israel, our number one ally in the Middle East as they now fight for their survival. | |
| Now, also on top of that, we've had over 75 attacks on U.S. installations and soldiers, you know, throughout the region, and and Joe Biden's answer has been, you know, two little pinpricks, you know, uh uh a missile here, missile there to empty warehouses. | |
| He hasn't responded. | |
| Now the issue is going before Congress, and what Chuck Schumer in the Senate is trying to do is well now he's threatening to keep members over the holidays unless they pass this hundred and six billion dollar Ukraine uh Israel package that may include some border security. | |
| Now remember, Ukraine has gotten you know close to eighty uh billion dollars of tax dollars up till now. | |
| And now they're looking for another 80 billion. | |
| But for Israel, they're offering what they're talking about 14 billion. | |
| And then yesterday, on a separate vote, they voted against aid for Israel, which makes no sense at all whatsoever. | |
| And yeah, you know, at some point, um, you know, when is what is the U.S. government gonna help our best ally in the region? | |
| Anyway, let's uh say hi to Senator uh Dr. Roger Marshall of Kansas and Senator Tommy Tubberville, Coach Tupperville of Alabama. | |
| Welcome both of you. | |
| By the way, coach, you gotta admit that was one hell of a game and a finish at the Alabama Auburn game. | |
| Come on, Sean. | |
| Don't bring that up. | |
| I'm uh I'm trying to get over that. | |
| That was their what a game it was. | |
| Get my throw at the end and uh great teams uh make big plays and they made it. | |
| Well, you gotta say this. | |
| I th I I think Nick Saban is by far the the single best college football coach right up there with Bear Bryant. | |
| You both come from Alabama, right? | |
| So I'm right up there with you, I guess too. | |
| Well he he's done an unbelievable job winning all those championships. | |
| And the big thing about coaching and it's anything, Sean, it's consistency. | |
| And he's been consistent for what 13 years there at Alabama. | |
| So uh yeah he's done a heck of a job. | |
| Good friend and uh I tell him all the time he has done something that's almost impossible. | |
| He really has. | |
| Well it was I I I thought the Michigan Ohio State game I didn't think he could beat that but you know the on comes uh the Alabama Auburn game and it was it was wild. | |
| Um anyway let me get to the issue at hand here and and Dr. Marshall let me start with you and I think this is important. | |
| Um why are we waiting so long to help our ally that's very existence is hanging in the balance here. | |
| Pay attention to what Chuck Schumer says watch what he does. | |
| He says he supports Israel but hours after he gave a big speech saying he would not sleep until we supported Israel he walked on the Senate floor and instructed every Democrat to vote against our standalone Israel package. | |
| We're no closer today to helping Israel than we were on October 7th. | |
| When Chuck Schumer wants to bring all these policies together and leave out border security by the way the most pressing national security issue we are facing is this open southern border where 10 million illegal immigrants across the border since Joe Biden took office including one and a half million goneways. | |
| So nothing is happening up here because uh the Democrat is divided on this well the the reality is Senator Senator Tumberville is that they had an opportunity to offer aid to Israel I like standalone bills. | |
| I don't like uh Schumer's bill would include Ukraine which we would get a massive amount of money yet again in this case another eighty plus billion dollars uh it would include 14 billion is my understanding for Israel then money for Taiwan and then potentially border security. | |
| No, no thanks. | |
| I don't want your 106 uh billion dollar bill shoved down our throat Sean that's what you get when you straddle the fence you try to play both sides Chuck Schumer's worst leader I've ever seen he couldn't lead a marching band. | |
| You know and as as Roger Marshall just said he stood on the Senate floor and instructed every Democrat how to vote. | |
| Now if you don't have enough guts or gall to vote for your people of your state you shouldn't be up here. | |
| And uh they they let down the people of Israel when they voted down you know that package they w they care more about the tax money being taken away from uh the American taxpayer with keeping all these IRS agents that they want uh they care more about that than they do about uh helping the people uh that are our allies and it's just it's a shame to see what's going on up here. | |
| So how does this play out in your view, Dr. Marshall? | |
| Uh so I think that we have the votes to block closure on Leader Schumer's Chuck Schumer's bill his bill that combines all these together that's not going to include border security we now have the votes to block cloture and force the border issue. | |
| That's what that's what our goal is we need to be locked in as Republicans saying we won't go anywhere. | |
| Hell no unless there's funding for meaningful border security and specifically some meaningful policy changes which you've enumerated multiple times Sean what that looks like. | |
| No I mean I I've I find this whole thing just unbelievable and the fact that we had an opportunity to do this yesterday and Chuck Schumer yeah I'll stay told you you won't even go home for Christmas holidays which we know is a lie because they'll find a way. | |
| Now the question I have and Senator Marshall I'll ask you first is Mitch McConnell on board uh is he going to hold the the conference together in the Senate because that's what you're gonna need. | |
| Sean he is uh he has been very strong on on the floor and then it's just in recently in our in our conference meeting he's very sturdy on this that I think we have over the the 40 votes needed to stop cloture 41 actually 41 votes to stop cloture. | |
| I think that he's leading this is about as strong as I've ever seen him stand up John Thune all of our leadership is pledging that we will vote down closure on this big package unless there's very meaningful border security uh opportunities on that bill as well. | |
| So I think he's I think the leader McConnell's on board with this on this one. | |
| Yeah but I always worry because the Senate always seems to want to go home for Christmas and uh when when push comes to shove Senator Tubberville, uh you'll get enough Republicans partnering with enough Democrats to get a big omnibus bill, although I don't think they're gonna get Republicans in the House to go along with it this time. | |
| At least I'm hoping. | |
| Sean, our country's in trouble. | |
| Uh we're in bad trouble. | |
| The the border is a disaster. | |
| I call it the immigration industrial complex, the drugs, the human trafficking, the sheep labor, the things that are coming in and the 500 billion that we've already spent on these illegals coming in with taking care of them, putting them in hotel rooms. | |
| 500 billion, and they complain when President Trump wanted 20 billion to build a wall. | |
| These people up uh people up here have lost their mind. | |
| If we don't get 49 closure votes, I'll be disappointed. | |
| We need 41, but there's no way we should do anything else up here until we do something at that border, because if we don't, our country's gone. | |
| It's gonna be over with. | |
| The country that you and I, Sean, you and I and Dr. Marshall grew up in, it will be no longer. | |
| Well, I mean, certainly for the rule of law, we just cast it aside, and and all because Joe Biden is not upholding his oath of office, which is to uphold our constitution, which is the foundation for every law that's ever passed, and he's just picking and choosing which which laws that he cares to uh enforce, uh, Senator Marshall, and and and that has become unfortunate. | |
| You know, but again, the question I go back to is, you know, Republicans now have uh uh a clear choice to make here. | |
| How hard are they gonna fight? | |
| And and then we got to get to the issue of Ukraine. | |
| How much money should America be giving Ukraine? | |
| We've given them 80 billion dollars, and as far as I'm concerned, Joe Biden does not he's put handcuffs on uh President Zelensky from the get-go when he wouldn't allow Zelensky to receive the the MiG jets from Poland, and then he's telling you know the Ukrainians what weapons they can and cannot use in the middle of a war against Vladimir Putin and and this amount the 80 billion already, and now another 80 billion. | |
| I mean, is this just a proxy war between Russia and the US at this point? | |
| Because I don't see Europe during stepping up and paying their fair share. | |
| We're paying more than all of European countries combined. | |
| Yeah, yeah, absolutely. | |
| Uh on all those points. | |
| Look, we cannot keep throwing good money after bad money. | |
| It's interesting to me is why. | |
| Why do the Democrats why all of a sudden are they in love with Ukraine? | |
| Their leader is so weak. | |
| This is the only so supposed victory that he can claim on the world stage. | |
| So I would not claim what's happening in Ukraine a victory. | |
| There's been no movement in the past year that this is a stalemate costing the lives of over 200,000 people, probably another half million casualties on top of that. | |
| We should be focused on some type of a peace agreement in Ukraine right now. | |
| And by the way, the Biden administration still has only implemented one half of the banking sanctions on Russia that they could as well. | |
| So again, they say they're they're fighting the war over there, but they're really doing they're not applying maximal pressure. | |
| There this is a war that's dragging on. | |
| It's gonna last seven, eight, nine or ten years, and America does not need to be involved in this type of a proxy war at this point in time. | |
| Let's take care of our own border. | |
| As leaders, as coach talked about, when you're a leader, you have to set priorities. | |
| I am personally locked in on securing the border. | |
| I know Coach Subberville is is locked in on securing the border. | |
| A lot of us uh Republicans up here, we are locked in on securing our southern border. | |
| Uh I uh I hope so. | |
| And do you think there's consensus in the Senate on all of that, Senator Tupperville? | |
| I think we do. | |
| I think we're getting closer every day. | |
| You know, we we always don't vote the same on the Republican side. | |
| We don't w uh vote lockstep like they do in the uh Democratic side. | |
| They just all vote the same way. | |
| They could care less about the country. | |
| They just want to get re-elected. | |
| They like the power. | |
| Thing about Ukraine, Sean, there's two things. | |
| Number one, we could have stopped this war. | |
| Joe Biden could have, but in the first two months, they did a peace agreement uh with Turkey along with Putin and Zelensky. | |
| They could have stopped it. | |
| But uh for some reason Joe Biden and the UK wanted this war to continue. | |
| Well, if you're gonna want it to continue, give them the the means, the the planes, the tanks, the the missiles to to fight this war. | |
| But their average age now is 45 years old uh in Ukraine of their soldiers. | |
| Forty-five. | |
| I can't imagine 45 to 50 to 55 year olds fighting in this cold weather. | |
| It's not gonna last. | |
| They got no chance unless we give them enough to fight this war. | |
| So it's it's been all uh it's been all on Joe Biden and this administration. | |
| They're the reason that uh this thing's still going on, whether it was with a peace agreement or with going and try to win in this thing. | |
| You can't try to win a fight by by just piecemealing uh things together uh slowly uh the way that this Pentagon is done. | |
| I I agree with that. | |
| And and why are we why are we fighting wars and you're not fighting it to win? | |
| Have we not learned our lesson on any and all of this? | |
| That's what's frustrating to me, and I know it's frustrating to everybody else. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Exactly. | |
| If we if you know, we don't go in uh to wars to win anymore. | |
| We just go in to to throw out the government and then let them build it back the way they want to build it back. | |
| You know, we go into Iraq, we lost all those lives, we spent all that money, and let's keep those oil wells and pay ourselves back and build our government up. | |
| But no, we just turn around and ran. | |
| You know, same thing we did in Afghanistan. | |
| So it amazes me. | |
| We we don't do anything for the American people, you know, to get our money back. | |
| We just go in and try to overthrow governments, and we hadn't won a war since uh World War II, so uh other than President Trump beating ISIS. | |
| So it's uh it's just a shame. | |
| All right, quick break. | |
| We'll come back with Senators Roger Marshall of Kansas and Tommy Tupperville of Alabama, 800 941 Shauna's on number. | |
| We'll also get to your call's final half hour of the program today as we continue. | |

| We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the hour. | |
| We'll give you the final word, Senator Marshall. | |
| What do you think the strategy will be and what should it be? | |
| Well, I think again, leaders lead. | |
| I think that we have to clearly set our priorities. | |
| We have to stay locked in on securing the southern border. | |
| Our next priority should be to get the American state American hostages back home safely. | |
| They're being held by Hamas. | |
| Number three, let's destroy Hamas and stand up for Israel. | |
| Ukraine, uh it it's uh there's no solution for Ukraine right now, except some type of a peaceful uh peace peace agreement uh that gets us on down the road. | |
| But let's stay locked in, let's secure our southern border, let's get our schools in order, let's look in the mirror and get our own house in order before we keep looking out beyond our own oceans. | |
| I appreciate both of you. | |
| Anyway, Senator uh Tupperville, thank you. | |

| Um, you know, it's interesting in light of this debate that is on Thursday that I'll be moderating between Governor Newsom of California and Governor DeSantis of Florida. | |
| You know, the the varying reactions we got we get. | |
| I I'm not sure why. | |
| I haven't exactly figured it out, but if you can't see every single time now that Joe Biden speaks, it's a disaster. | |
| There's not a there's not a speech that he gives that we we can't pull something from it and play it for you and it not sound disastrous. | |
| I mean, maybe we've grown that Accustomed to it. | |
| I I'm I'm embarrassed every time I see this man speak. | |
| I'm also angry at every lie that he tells on top of everything else, like he was lying about the economy, lies about the borders, lies about success, and and and blames Trump for everything. | |
| But you know, what's missing here is I I d I don't think people are understanding the reality that Joe Biden may not be on the ticket come November a year from now. | |
| He may not be there. | |
| He looks terrible. | |
| His health is awful. | |
| You know, if you're in cognitive decline, it is degenerative. | |
| We had Dr. Ronnie Jackson on last night talking about this very issue. | |
| And, you know, let me just play his recent gaffes and his recent blunders. | |
| It's my birthday today, and they can actually sign birthday. | |
| You could say even this harder than getting uh a ticket to the Renaissance tour or or or uh reprintish tour. | |
| She's down in it's kind of warm in Brazil right now. | |
| Leading leading tech companies. | |
| And I'm gonna mispronounce I'm not gonna try. | |
| I mean, Linda as I've been some people don't understand, I guess maybe the way my mind works here. | |
| When this came up organically, it's not like I said out, oh, I'm interviewing Gavin Newsom. | |
| Let me see if I can get him to debate Ron DeSantis. | |
| It just came up in the course of the interview that I had with him. | |
| Uh what is this interview? | |
| Go back to June or July. | |
| It's it's taken a long time to get this thing together. | |
| All right, so it comes up and he said I'll debate him two hours. | |
| I'll debate him three hours. | |
| I'm like, um, you want to try for four? | |
| And then said he let me moderate the debate. | |
| Okay. | |
| Wasn't as simple behind the scenes, but I promise to keep all that private, and I'm gonna keep my word. | |
| However, what in light of how bad Joe Biden is, why do people want to kind of put their heads in the sand and not face a reality that there may be somebody else on that ballot and not know what they might be dealing with? | |
| And that's basically, you know, I've been warning people you better pay attention to who's out there that might potentially replace Joe Biden, especially if some deal is struck with Kamala Harris, uh, who even just even even Newsom says would be the the natural air apparent, not him. | |
| But you but to me, I think we better be prepared for an any case scenario, don't you? | |
| I think it's smart to know who could potentially be in the playing field, without a doubt. | |
| Uh, it's good to know who's thinking about it. | |
| It's clear that he is. | |
| He's made all of the public gestures while you know maintaining the stance. | |
| Um I'm governor of California. | |
| I respect Joe Biden and all the you know, all the platitudes. | |
| I mean, it's pretty to me, it's pretty evident that this is eventually gonna happen, but I think Matt Towery made a good point yesterday where he was like, they cannot leapfrog Kamala Harris, they just can't. | |
| Because they won't lose the city. | |
| They certainly can they certainly can try. | |
| I think there might be a backlash to it. | |
| Clay Travis actually. | |
| Well, Clay Travis had an interesting point. | |
| He goes, Well, Sean, where's the Democratic convention next year? | |
| I said, Well, it's in Chicago. | |
| And he's like, exactly. | |
| Who else lives in Chicago? | |
| And then he thinks, he actually believes. | |
| I'm not sure if I agree with this. | |
| I'm I I don't see, and I've never seen a Michelle Obama any desire to ever run for office. | |
| As a matter of fact, I think she could not get out of that White House fast enough. | |
| Maybe I'm wrong. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I've I've had this conversation many times myself with a lot of friends. | |
| Uh I think Michelle Obama, if she ran, she would win. | |
| And I think it's a very dangerous thing. | |
| I think a lot of people are blinded by um the appearance of things. | |
| So if it's August of next year, yeah, and they're at the convention, and Joe either pulls an LBJ, you know, if nominated, I won't accept, I'm not, you know, whatever. | |
| Yeah, you think that is there any possibility, or what would the odds of of it be that Michelle Obama would be selected? | |
| I think that there would be a pomp and circumstance moment. | |
| Kamala Harris would get the nod, and then for whatever reason that they decide behind closed doors, would be able to gracefully bow out, and they would hat tip the person that they've already preordained behind closed doors. | |
| I don't think you think Kamala Harris would go along with that. | |
| I don't see that. | |
| She's she's dumber than Adam Schiff. | |
| Even she knows it. | |
| She knows she can't do this. | |
| She has no desire to do this. | |
| I disagree. | |
| I mean, I there's something about people. | |
| Anyone that's ever gotten close that's an elected official to that that office. | |
| And there's a majesty to that office. | |
| I've been in that office many times. | |
| And I remember thinking it was like I was in a movie the first time I was in it. | |
| George W. Bush was president. | |
| I walked in, I'm like, um I am I real is this really him? | |
| It was very bizarre. | |
| It's almost surreal. | |
| I don't disagree with you. | |
| I think there's there's an overwhelming magnitude and and magnetism to the role of being, you know, the most powerful person in the United States. | |
| However, I just don't believe, and this is just my opinion, that the quote unquote most powerful person in the United States is actually that person. | |
| I don't believe that Biden or Kamala have anything to do with our day-to-day running of this nation. | |
| I believe that they are puppets, they're being told what to say and do. | |
| He's just not with it, and she never had it. | |
| So between the two of them, we're screwed. | |
| So there's somebody in the background running the show. | |
| I don't think she wants it. | |
| I think she likes being where she is. | |
| I think she's very comfortable where she is. | |
| You know, she goes around saying silly things like, you know, I like space, you know, businesses, communities, you know, I like buses. | |
| I mean, she's just it's the most random. | |
| I've never heard anybody talk the way she I can't believe she's an attorney. | |
| Like so, we're here to talk about the community. | |
| Because in a community, we all live together in the community. | |
| So this is a fact. | |
| It's the same. | |
| It's bizarre. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I'm a woman sitting in a blue suit. | |
| That was weird. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And um what is it? | |
| Venn diag diagram. | |
| Oh, the Venn diagrams. | |
| Honestly, that might be my favorite one. | |
| I was like, who the hell says they like Venn diagrams? | |
| I mean, it was just uh she's just very odd. | |
| I think she's very socially awkward. | |
| I don't really know what her deal is or why she behaves the way she does. | |
| The laughing thing is truly annoying. | |
| Like I I mean, and I'm a person that loves to laugh, but her laugh is not infection infectious. | |
| This is just irritating. | |
| I mean, she's I like to think about a lot of things in the context of a Venn diagram. | |
| I love Venn diagrams. | |
| Always ask, is there a Venn diagram for this? | |
| I'm telling you. | |
| It's fascinating when you do. | |
| So Venn Dragon, those three circles, right? | |
| And if you want to add some more circles to the Venn diagram, the solutions also look like what we need to do to invest in a clean energy economy. | |
| So I think it's very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders. | |
| For us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future. | |
| We invested an additional twelve billion dollars into community banks. | |
| Because we don't know community banks are in the community. | |
| But here's the thing. | |
| So your choice is that, or we have Biden, right? | |
| So we have Piano Biden, which is my favorite cut of all time. | |
| There is no better cut than Piano Biden, in my humble opinion. | |
| All right, this is my life coverage of the political players and some of the let me ask rhetorical questions. | |
| No, anyways. | |
| All right, let's get to the phones. | |
| Let's uh start in uh this half hour in California. | |
| Kevin is up. | |
| Kevin, you're on the Sean Hannity show. | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Hey, Sean, thanks. | |
| Couple things. | |
| One, you just mentioned about the I think the debate is gonna be brilliant. | |
| You mentioned about in case Biden were to do an LBJ. | |
| Can you imagine Biden trying to even get out LBJ? | |
| He'd be going like, okay, well, the L B G L B G T they're somewhere down in Brazil. | |
| He wouldn't even be able to do it. | |
| So but what you've done is fantastic because it's either prophetic or it's strategic when you put those two together, DeSantis and uh Newsom. | |
| Like you said, they're they're giant states, they're politically opposed to each other. | |
| Why is it working so well here, not working so well there? | |
| Sean, that I you know, Biden's not gonna make it, he can't make it to the dining room. | |
| Trump may not make it because of the legal stuff pushed against them. | |
| This is the twenty twenty four presidential debate you have coming up. | |
| It's brilliant. | |
| And when Americans, as you know, who are smart hearing what Newsom says and what um DeSantis says, they just hear it. | |
| They'll know, look at California, look at Florida, no matter how you talk it up. | |
| You did it, Sean. | |
| It's brilliant. | |
| It's brilliant. | |
| I think it's important. | |
| I think it's pivotal because you gotta understand, probably state laws and and regulations and policies impact our lives often. | |
| Yeah. | |
| More than what happens on the federal level, which we pay more attention to. | |
| Now, uh certainly they don't have the same impact on national security, but you know, I I am just I've been warning people for a long time. | |
| You better pay attention and know what the possibilities are. | |
| I was right about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. | |
| I was saying it before anybody else. | |
| I was um I've been proven right. | |
| Now I'm being proven right almost every day he speaks. | |
| And it just is a reality that they may there may very well be someone else that is on that ticket come November of 2024. | |
| We'll see though. | |
| Kevin, appreciate the call, my friend. | |
| Uh Brian in the free state of Florida. | |
| Uh we go from California to Florida. | |
| How appropriate. | |
| I hope you'll be watching on Thursday night. | |
| Hello. | |
| Hey, Brian, how are you? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| Good afternoon show. | |
| Welcome from Florida. | |
| What's going on? | |
| First time caller. | |
| Yeah, listen to you yesterday and today about Gavin Newsom. | |
| I just want to throw something your way. | |
| I would think the way that Gavin Newsom has been positioning himself constantly in TV, wanting to be with you, out there in China and everything else. | |
| Mr. Slick, I think is putting himself forward that Kamala will be given a position somewhere, and then Biden will run and run with Gavin Newsom as his second in command and then step down and leave Gavin with the chair. | |
| You'd think so. | |
| You think that's how this is gonna play out. | |
| That's what that's what yeah, each time I've been watching him, and I listened to you, I listen to all the other boys, I listen to 610 WIOD down here constantly, watch you on TV at night. | |
| And I want even what when there was the Republican debate and Gavin Newsom was he is slick. | |
| That man is slick, and he made his state look like the best in the world. | |
| And I'm watching him go, man, I wonder if they will do that. | |
| Because he won't involve it in by himself. | |
| But Biden Well, a lot of the questions we're gonna compare, okay. | |
| Well, you're a sanctuary state, and and Ron DeSantis believes in securing our borders and and enforcing our laws. | |
| You know, you know, let them debate it. | |
| Let them let them make their points known, and then I have confidence the American people will be able to see through what might be, quote, um a persona or personality or like ability versus a policy, and and what are people looking for? | |
| You're looking for you know, somebody that can actually lead and and implement successful policies, or do you want you know somebody that looks good on TV? | |
| What are you looking for? | |
| And they'll decide that I I put a lot of faith in people that they're gonna they're gonna see through both of them. | |
| They're gonna they're gonna really have a deep understanding of where they're both coming from, and that's what I want. | |
| Yeah, but I've seen a lot of faith put in the people who want to leave England, my home country. | |
| And I've seen that place just lose its flag, lose its it's lose everything. | |
| Because the end with only the people behind the scenes running running the show and now running amok. | |
| Here I see the Democrats and the people behind the scenes doing the same. | |
| They know they can get Biden back in again by hook or by crook, and it will be by crook. | |
| Because we as a Republicans never challenge that system. | |
| And they've positioned us in a in a way that if we challenge it at any given time, it's just bad. | |
| It's evil, it's racist, it's this, it's it's everything. | |
| I'm just watching for Gavin Newsom to run as as a as a runner mate with Joe Biden. | |
| So I hope I don't know. | |
| I don't know how you push Kamala Harris out of the way. | |
| I think that's uh uh Herculean task. | |
| I think M Linda mentioned Matt Towery and Robert Cahale both had that opinion yesterday, and and John McLaughlin, I believe also. | |
| All right, my friend, appreciate the call. | |
