Rejecting the "Commie Math" of Brazil's Election

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. 00:00:26 Speaker 2: You got to stop sending your kids to college. 00:00:27 Speaker 3: You should get married as. 00:00:28 Speaker 1: Young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. 00:00:46 Speaker 3: Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. 00:00:49 Speaker 1: Here we go.

How are we doing, Blake? Oh, we're doing, you know, actually not great. You're bummed this morning. I'm bummed for a few reasons. 00:01:32 Speaker 5: I was going to see the Elizabeth Holmes documentary with a friend, but then the friend had to cancel. 00:01:36 Speaker 3: I've heard that's good. 00:01:37 Speaker 6: I hope it's good. I still want to see it. 00:01:39 Speaker 5: So instead I got the Sour Patch Kids Wings at Wingstop that is nearby here. This might have been a slightly inferior choice to seeing that documentary. The Packers lost total referee rigging. A Detroit Lions player kicked a ref, so they flagged the Packers for it. 00:01:54 Speaker 6: It's a whole to-do. 00:01:55 Speaker 5: But then most of all, I'm miffed. Because shenanigans are afoot in Brazil. 00:02:01 Speaker 3: Which, by the way, just so you know, I came in all hot and bothered about Brazil. I was very upset about how things went down last night. I think it's the most likely scenario here is that it has been rigged against the Bolsonaros once again. And I thought Blake was going to be the contrarian saying, no, it wasn't. The fact that he's on board with this just, you know, it makes it all the more exciting for me to go through. 00:02:25 Speaker 4: It with you. 00:02:26 Speaker 5: I'm always the downer on if we find stuff suspicious. But the Brazil thing, it looks very wild. You can see the chart in the prediction markets where it's like over 90% that Bolsonaro is going to win and then an abrupt, immediate swerve the other way. So this is not– it's something to be very wary of because we already had a round one in this election where Bolsonaro, the conservative candidate– was up quite significantly, and then you had all the reasons to think that he would win the second round, that there were other, the reason they're in the runoff is because there were minor candidates who kept anyone from over 50%. Well, three of the, the three biggest minor candidates endorsed Bolsonaro, I believe, and several of them were for parties that are basically to the right of his, or in that sphere, and then the other one is a centrist party, but you have to basically take almost all of those votes and give them to Lula, and then Everyone who didn't turn out in round one, who came out this round, also voted for Lula. 00:03:21 Speaker 6: All the blanks. 00:03:22 Speaker 3: All the blanks. They left that part of their ballot blank, who they wanted to run the country. They left that blank. Lula would have had to get basically all of those as well. He got 14 million more votes in round two than, or there was 14 million more votes counted, I should say, across both candidates. And Lula dominated all of those. So there's two scenarios here. One, there was fraud. I happen to think that is the most likely. Remember that in Venezuela with Maduro, he also extended voting. And that is how he pulled off. 00:03:55 Speaker 6: But we didn't even mention that. 00:03:56 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:03:56 Speaker 5: So this is the thing that was really shady about it, that they're getting down to the last minutes. There's been complaints from Lula's campaign that public transport broke down. They need to extend voting hours. And the way it's issued, it doesn't come from their. 00:04:10 Speaker 3: Electoral. 00:04:10 Speaker 6: Electoral.... 00:04:32 Speaker 5: The way this works out, apparently, is if a poll had already closed, it could not be reopened. Only the ones that were still open. And according to people on the ground in Brazil, it was basically all of the Lula areas either suspected or just knew that this order was coming. So they had stayed open waiting for this. And then they get an extra two hours for their votes. 00:04:54 Speaker 6: And, like, even. 00:04:56 Speaker 5: Supreme Court justices, other judges in Brazil are coming out and saying this is unprecedented. There is no legal precedent for how this order worked out. Even the New York Times is saying this is so bizarre. They have experts from Brazil saying they might need to annul these election results. And the only defense I can see from the left, they're trotting out the, it's really suspicious, but actually he won by so much he would have won anyway. And when they're saying we won by enough that please stop asking questions about this shady legal maneuver we did, I think they know that they may have just stepped in it. 00:05:27 Speaker 3: Well, so here's a very interesting just one-off, right? So there's many parts of Brazil. It's a big country. But let's look at Rio de Janeiro as just one example. All right? So he gets basically 870,000 new votes, Lula does, in round two. That's 870,000 new votes in three weeks. All right? 00:05:46 Speaker 2: So. 00:05:53 Speaker 3: If you gave him the best case scenario that all the nulls and all the blanks went for him from round one to round two, meaning people who their votes didn't count for whatever reason in round one, they left it blank in round one. If you gave him all of that, he would still need seven out of 10 of the votes that went for those eliminated candidates, the candidates that didn't make it into round two, right? Because this was a runoff. The only problem with that is that all of those candidates in that area endorsed Bolsonaro. So I'm supposed to believe that people that voted for right-wing candidates, people that were further to the right of Bolsonaro, suddenly had an about face and then voted for Lula, a communist. And what else is very striking about what happened was the first things that we've seen from the Lula camp and his party after winning this election was that They're now calling for censoring social media and locking up their political opponents. Almost on cue. 00:06:59 Speaker 5: Which they've already been doing very aggressively. Brazil's a very sinister country in terms of allowing radical, like radical judges are just issuing deranged orders targeting social media. They want to, they basically are the country that is already getting all of the policies that the left wants in America in terms of just Any judge can just shut down social media criticism of the government, shut down certain narratives. And I think, again, I think they probably overreached this time. They've justified to themselves every radical step because they say that the right can't get power in Brazil. And so far, to my understanding, Bolsonaro has said he does not accept these results. 00:07:39 Speaker 6: He's saying they should be annulled. 00:07:40 Speaker 3: He's not. And that becomes the next piece of this, right? You've seen Carney out of Canada. You've seen the EU all sort of congratulate him. You've seen AOC congratulate him. You've seen Alexander Soros congratulate him. They all came out and said, oh, look at the people rose up. And there is the other alternative, right? I mentioned that there are two alternatives, what happened here today or last night. The other alternative is that they flooded the airways and got a bunch of poor people in Brazil terrified that Bolsonaro was going to cut their benefits. Now, I have said this on social media. I've said it on the show. The weakness with universal suffrage and giving everybody the vote, even if they're a public charge, even if they're on the dole, is that once you give them welfare, getting them off of it is extraordinarily hard. Rolling back spending is extraordinarily difficult. So the other alternative, it wasn't cheating, and maybe it was a bit of both. is that the poor in Brazil rose up, terrified that Bolsonaro was going to balance the budget, bring a bit of austerity, try and balance the books. And they rose up and said, don't take my free things. So maybe it was a bit of both. 00:09:00 Speaker 4: It's possible. 00:09:01 Speaker 3: There is one analysis done, and I'm leery on it, but I think it's probably directionally accurate, is that the people who voted Lula in represent about 21% of Brazil's GDP. I don't necessarily believe that. Hold on. 51% of the vote, 21% of the GDP. Again, who knows how accurate those are, but I would wager to bet they are directionally accurate. So we'll see what happens. But there's way too many shenanigans. And the question becomes then, what will happen next? And I'm with Blake. I think this thing needs to be a full court press. So After this election result was announced, left wing Brazilian federal deputy Duda Salabert, who looks to be a trans individual, announced a motion to seize Flavio Bolsonaro's passport and throw him in prison. Which is just insane. So Lula says we've got to start censoring the. the social media companies. And then you have one of his minions, his lieutenant, who looks to be trans, say now you got to freeze Flavio Bolsonaro's passport and throw him in prison. Just to be very clear as well, there are four Supreme Court seats up for grabs in in this next term, basically. They're on the line. So if you're wondering what is motivating Lula and the communist left within Brazil, look no further than the courts. They already exercised the power of this court, the Supreme Court, Lula's former personal attorney, then extends voting. Now, I've seen some people say there was only 36,000 votes that were cast after the polls were reopened. But here's the thing. We don't know in what form or fashion the fraud would have been conducted. They might have needed that time in order to complete the circle, if you would. Maybe the fix was already in, and they needed that time to sort of rectify this. Who knows? 00:11:04 Speaker 5: It's really just the fact that they issued an extremely unprecedented legal order that even other justices on their Supreme Court are saying there's no precedent for doing any of this. 00:11:14 Speaker 3: It's very telling. 00:11:15 Speaker 5: I like to read the New York Times about this sort of stuff because the New York Times– Obviously, they have a bias, but they don't generally lie about things. 00:11:22 Speaker 3: Or fabricate things. They tend to be better on foreign stuff, too. 00:11:24 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're very much raising an eyebrow out this. When they are talking to law professors in Brazil who are saying there's no law that allows this, some of them are saying they might need to annul the results over this. The fact that Lula goes to his former defense attorney and gets that former defense attorney to unilaterally order polls to stay open, it's not the number of votes. 00:11:47 Speaker 6: They got from that. It's that that's such. 00:11:49 Speaker 5: a ridiculous stretch thing for him to have done, that they were probably doing other shady stuff. And I don't know, it's that, I don't think it's necessarily that they needed, oh, to keep the polls open to do the fix. I just think there was probably a lot of, it's like we say in the US, if there's bad behavior, it's probably decentralized and distributed. And there's just so many, I've already seen. 00:12:09 Speaker 3: Things about this. So New York Times also brings this up. 00:12:12 Speaker 5: They say the results on Sunday showed far more voters showed up to cast a vote in the second round than in the first, and they said that's a highly unusual shift. 00:12:20 Speaker 6: So I looked it up, and that's 100% the case. 00:12:23 Speaker 5: 2006, they had 105 million people vote in the first round, 102 million in the second round. 00:12:28 Speaker 3: So it went down. 00:12:29 Speaker 6: They lost 2.8 million votes. 00:12:30 Speaker 5: In 2010, they went down 4.6 million votes. 00:12:33 Speaker 3: It goes down again. 00:12:34 Speaker 5: 2014, they lost 2.4 million votes. 2018, they lost 1.4 million. 00:12:39 Speaker 3: All right, so up until this point, every round two in Brazil, when it goes to the runoff, fewer people voted. 00:12:46 Speaker 5: In 22, the most recent, they gained half a million. But now they gained three million. So two and a half million more gained than any prior Brazilian election. Just massive surge in the number of people turning out. And again, they've never seen this before. And then the other part of this. So again, unprecedented surge of new voters in the second round. And even if Lula got all of those in order to close the gap and beat Flavio, he also needs a huge share of all of the people who voted for a third-party candidate, even though these were right-wing candidates who endorsed Bolsonaro. 00:13:24 Speaker 3: So there's a ton of smoke here. Here's the interesting dynamic within the Trump administration. President Trump has essentially gotten along with Lula before. 00:13:34 Speaker 6: I think they personally get along. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: They personally get along. Here's the kicker, though. Marco Rubio, I can guarantee you, Secretary of State, does not like the far-left Latin American parties, and Lula in particular. So the question is, what will be the U.S. 00:13:49 Speaker 4: Response? 00:13:49 Speaker 3: I already mentioned that Canada has congratulated him. The EU has congratulated him. AOC, all these people. Alexander Soros. What the United States needs to do is, I think, quietly pressure them behind the scenes and Do not acknowledge this election result. And we need to take pages out of the left's playbook here. And what do I mean by that? The left is really good at something called a color revolution. That's when everybody takes to the streets and they mass protest and say we are not going to stand for this. 00:14:21 Speaker 5: If this was happening in some Eastern European country, if this happened in Hungary, if this happened in Hungary where there's a surprise comeback by Viktor Orban and there's this court order that was keeping the polls open, What they would do is they would all refuse to recognize it. 00:14:37 Speaker 6: They would say, we're. 00:14:40 Speaker 5: Worried about the state of democracy here. And then they would urge everyone to get into the streets and to stay in the streets until they could have full accountability. And they would try to get institutional players, and they would emphasize how not normal it is. And they just try to ratchet up the pressure until the government screws up. And what do, for example, in Ukraine, when they had their Orange Revolution, what do some of these regimes that really did rig their elections usually do? What did they do to try to cling to power? Well, they would try to aggressively regulate social media. Lula's already trying to desperately do that. They try to desperately shut down anyone saying, this isn't normal, this isn't okay. And so I think what you have to do if you're Bolsonaro supporters in Brazil, he's saying they're legally challenging it. But what they also just need to do is, I think Bolsonaro supporters need to make it very difficult. They just basically need to get in the streets and say, we don't accept this. We think this is all nonsense. 00:15:33 Speaker 3: Frankly, if this is going to get resolved in a way that's favorable for bolsonaro his supporters need to not show up to work for the next week yeah and all they need to do is rally in the streets and they need to keep the international pressure and attention on this because there are too many anomalies it doesn't make any statistical sense. 00:15:51 Speaker 5: They're all coming out the head of the european union the head of canada all these like left-wing people who want lula to win and of course tim walls was also congratulating him even though lula is this pro-russia pro-china like he's not just a guy on the left he is anti-American in a real way. They're all coming out to aggressively say, this is normal. Don't raise your eyebrows at this. 00:16:12 Speaker 6: It's all good. 00:16:13 Speaker 5: There's no evidence of anything untoward about this. There's Alex Soros on screen. Lula, Lula, Lula, congratulations. They're talking about what an amazing comeback it is. Don't ask any questions. You have to hold firm and say, no, this is obviously bullcrap. You guys did a legally unprecedented order. There's all these signs. Out of nowhere, every single third party voters going to Lula. There's more voters when there were never this like way more voters in the past. Everyone has to say something stinks about this. Something is fishy. 00:16:43 Speaker 3: And obviously a lot of people are drawing parallels to 2020 where, you know, Joe Biden got this astronomical vote tally that still doesn't make any sense. 00:16:54 Speaker 6: They're not in lockdown right now. I will note. 00:16:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not in lockdown. So he gets 10 million additional votes on Sunday than he did in round one. He somehow managed to consolidate all the support for the third-party candidates. And somehow Flavio, who was more in line with those third-party candidates, only got about 3 million new votes. So something stinks in Denmark, but it's actually Brazil. And I think the U.S. government can play a role. I think they should. I'm assuming Marco is on it. But they ripped this thing completely off. This was a rigged gig. And none of it makes sense. None of it is statistically probable at all. There was 33 polls, by the way, that were taken before this election. And 31 of them had Flavio winning. The prediction markets had Flavio winning. And now they want to take his passport and throw him in jail. Surprise, surprise. Before he ever stepped onto a debate stage or behind a microphone, Charlie understood something really important. That if you want to lead, you first have to learn. Charlie believed that ideas shape character, conviction, and courage. That's why he spent years studying the classics, the American founding, and the Bible through Hillsdale College's free online courses. He would rave about these courses all the time. These free online courses are taught by Hillsdale College professors and draw from the same great books and enduring ideas studied on Hillsdale's campus. Hillsdale's newest free online course is the Iliad, where Professor Stephen Smith guides students through Homer's great epic of honor, courage, friendship, leadership, and the pursuit of true greatness. For nearly 3,000 years, the Iliad has shaped the Western imagination. It tells the story of Achilles as he confronts injustice, rage, grief, responsibility, and the terrible costs of war. But Homer's epic is more than a story of ancient battles. It raises enduring questions about courage, duty, leadership, sacrifice, and self-command. Achilles is the greatest warrior among the Greeks, but Homer asks whether strength alone is enough to make a man truly great. In this new free online course, you'll follow Achilles through the defining trials of his life and discover why one of the greatest works of Western literature still speaks to the permanent questions of human life. Charlie understood that learning isn't just about gaining knowledge. It's about forming the mind and character needed to face the challenges of life with wisdom and courage.

That's Charlie for Hillsdale. dot com learn deeply think clearly lead boldly and carry it forward just like charlie so secretary scott turner secretary of housing and urban development you are making a a round through phoenix and you uh we made this happen which i'm so excited about it's great to have you here again. 00:19:47 Speaker 8: Thank you so much i'm grateful to be here with you guys. So thank you for the invitation. 00:19:51 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:19:51 Speaker 3: Well, every time you're in Phoenix, I actually will get my feelings hurt if you don't come by. All right. No. So you're a busy, busy man. I'm so grateful to have you. And one of the reasons is because, you know, without getting too political about the election, we'll stick, we'll stick on the, on the policies, but, Obviously, affordability is a huge issue. It's something that Charlie talked a lot about, and that's kind of where I want to start. Just set the tone, because this was really, really, I think, something that was very intimate to Charlie and his message, because he spent so much time talking to young people about the American dream, getting a home, getting a family. So let's start there. 00:20:27 Speaker 1: It's the first time since George Washington that this generation has it worse off than their parents at the same age. It has not happened, not even during the Great Depression. is about the same. This generation is significantly worse off. And the problem, this is what no one mentions, we're not poorer. You would think that the country's gone through like an economic tailspin the last 15 years. Like, okay, your young people can't afford homes and they're putting groceries on credit and they're killing themselves and they're socially isolated and they're addicted to benzodiazepines and Zoloft. It's obvious you guys went through like a terrible economic attack. 00:21:04 Speaker 2: You lost the war. 00:21:05 Speaker 7: Yeah. 00:21:05 Speaker 1: If you look at the economic conditions, you would think the other conditions surrounding it are like abject poverty. These are the problems that like third world nations have. I know our young people can't afford stuff and they have to finance their basic necessities. And yet we're the wealthiest nation in the history of the world on the planet. 00:21:22 Speaker 3: That was, uh, you know, Not too long ago. And so this affordability issue has become top of mind for so many young people. And I love that that's exactly where you've spent so much of your energies as the HUD secretary, dealing with first-time homebuyers, dealing with the housing affordability, dealing with fraud. So I want to start there with housing affordability. You have made it a massive, massive plank of your tenure here to deal with first-time homebuyers and to really help them get into their first home. 00:21:54 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 00:21:55 Speaker 8: And thank you for setting that up for us and having me here. You know, policies matter because people matter. And when you have bad policies, the people suffer from it. And one of the things that we did when we came into HUD is that, hey, man, we're going to take inventory of every program that we have at HUD. 00:22:10 Speaker 4: And we've been taking inventory. 00:22:12 Speaker 8: And as we travel around the country and we look at housing affordability, construction of homes, development of neighborhoods, I asked the question, what is the number one hindrance? to building affordable homes? What's the number one barrier, if you will, to developing affordable neighborhoods? And the thing that people always say is bureaucratic red tape vis-a-vis regulations. And so the president, myself, and other leaders in the administration have been laser focused on tearing down the regulatory environment because when you do this, it makes the cost of housing, to build housing cheaper, which increases the supply, which helps the younger people and anybody in America be able to potentially afford to buy a home. So, for instance, we came in a hub. We took down the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. That was a Biden-era rule. 00:22:58 Speaker 3: It sounds horrible. 00:23:00 Speaker 8: When you think about it, it's a play on words. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. It sounds good, but it was terrible. It did not build not one single house, but instead it made building homes more costly. It was a myriad of paperwork on localities. And so we rescinded this to restore housing. flexibility back to the localities. We're here in Phoenix, Arizona. Washington doesn't know the needs of the communities in Phoenix like Phoenix does. But this Affirmatively Fair Housing made Washington a national zoning board. And so we took that down to restore it back to localities. 00:23:31 Speaker 5: They always think they can regulate into building more houses right like the answer is people who like making money will build houses to sell them to people and you just have to make them able to do that that's exactly right i i always get annoyed because you'll see complaints if oh they're building too many luxury condominiums or too many single family homes and the truth is anything you build will lower the price of housing it will because if you build luxury places the people who like luxury stuff will move into that they just vacated the old luxury ones and know that now that's middle class housing. 00:24:00 Speaker 3: Yeah well also more supply and demand i mean it's it's Basic rule of economics, the more supply, the lower the price will come down. But you've also worked on first-time homebuyers. You've supported homeownership for more than 1.5 million homebuyers, 80% of which are first-time homebuyers. 00:24:19 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 00:24:19 Speaker 3: That's huge. People don't know this. People don't know this. And that's what's so important about getting this messaging out. 1.5 million homebuyers are in a home right now. Because of the work you're doing at HUD. 00:24:31 Speaker 2: Excellent. 00:24:32 Speaker 4: And thank you for bringing that up. 00:24:33 Speaker 8: You know, you talk about the deregulation actions. You can't regulate yourself into having more homes. You have to build more homes. And so you tear down these regulations. You increase the supply. You decrease the cost. And now you have FHA, which is at HUD. And to your point, 1.5 million people in America last year were able to afford to buy a home. 80% of those were first-time homebuyers. And the mainstream media doesn't talk about it because that's good news. 00:24:59 Speaker 9: Right. 00:24:59 Speaker 8: And so thank you all for bringing that up. But we'll continue to shout from FHA is the number one first time home by our program in our country. We'll continue to make it strong day by day. 00:25:08 Speaker 3: Well, that's that's huge. And I mean, even in Arizona, I'm looking at some of these stats. So led to construction, about 6400 housing units, one million Americans out of poverty, more than 100 billion of investment, over a half a million. I mean, it's like that's what's so crazy about the housing piece of it. You're. You're creating jobs. You're also creating homes for first-time homebuyers, 80% of which first-time homebuyers. And you get all this local investment, and you're creating housing units, which drop the– again, like I said, more supply. It's going to drop the price of housing overall for people. And I can tell you, actually, in Phoenix, I think it's a combination of a lot of what they've been doing over DHS and ICE deportations. Like, there is a lot more inventory on the market in Phoenix, which is lowering the price overall for people. Rents have stopped. I mean, rents in Arizona were, like, going through the roof. Yeah. And now they've stabilized or are coming down. 00:26:01 Speaker 5: They went up, like, 50%, I think, in the year I moved out here, just before I got here. 00:26:05 Speaker 6: I was really annoyed. 00:26:06 Speaker 3: You timed that poorly. But are you seeing that now? Like, as you look at the... landscape? Are you starting to see housing prices stabilize, rents come down? 00:26:16 Speaker 4: Is that happening? 00:26:18 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:26:18 Speaker 8: And so you alluded to those 1 million people coming out of poverty, 400,000 new housing units, 500,000 new jobs. And that obviously was through our Opportunity Zone policy, which has been one of the most transformative policies in our country to create new housing, in particular affordable housing. Here in Arizona, 6,400 housing units have been created in Opportunity Zones. When we came in You know, we had a border that was run amok. You had tens of millions of people coming across the border, unchecked, unvetted, which made the housing prices go up. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, they needed to live somewhere. People forget this. 00:26:50 Speaker 2: Right. 00:26:50 Speaker 4: But it also made the rents go up. 00:26:52 Speaker 8: A hundred percent of the rental increase in New York and California was because of illegal immigration. But since the president came in under his leadership, now the border is secure. Rents have stabilized in some places going down. Home prices are going down. Deregulation is happening. So the American people should be encouraged. that these policies that we're putting in place are an American-first policy from an American-first president and administration that cares about this country, in particular when it comes to housing and affordability across the board. 00:27:21 Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the part that's so difficult for me. When I talk to young people, there seems to be a lack of just basic understanding about economics, something that is really near and dear to me because one of our jobs at Turning Point is to correct error. But they don't understand how using the free market, using deregulations, using agencies like yours to sort of incentivize good behavior in the marketplace actually does have an effect. And so I keep saying it, and Charlie alluded to it as well in that clip, we're in a race against time to prove that our ideas actually work, that there have been bad policies that have driven up the price of so many basic goods, too much spending out of Washington. But as these take effect over time, we're going to get where we need to be, and we're not going to destroy the country in the process. And so that's the question. Can we get there fast enough? Can we get the relief for young people, middle class, salaried workers? Can we get there fast enough? And so I guess it's an open question. Are you seeing the progress that you think that you want to see? Are you seeing it fast enough? 00:28:29 Speaker 8: You know, for me, nothing is fast enough. But, you know, I come from the private sector. But I will say having this assignment as a steward of HUD, as a secretary of HUD, I am encouraged by the work that we've been able to do from a HUD standpoint under President Trump's leadership to really fast track things for the American people as it pertains to– The FHA, as it pertains to deregulation, as it pertains to opportunity zones, to securing our border. 00:29:00 Speaker 4: These policies matter and are happening right now. 00:29:03 Speaker 8: You know, we have this conflict going on in Iran. 00:29:06 Speaker 4: You think about the president. He is making sure that. 00:29:09 Speaker 8: Our homeland is secure so that an evil regime does not have a nuclear weapon that will literally destroy. make our lives and our conversation we're having today a lot different if they have one impossible impossible and at the same time he's laser focused on domestic policy you know he's he's putting american people first he's bringing jobs back to america manufacturing back to america we're leading in the super intelligence race you know he secured the border we're bringing housing costs down pharmacy prices down drug prices down you know for the american people so yes it's happening is it happening fast enough for any of us probably not but is it happening faster than it would under any other president yes yeah and because that's a good answer. 00:29:48 Speaker 3: And i actually agree with i actually agree with the answer um you know you look at the polling you're just like I wonder what the polling would be if gas prices were not. 00:29:59 Speaker 6: What they are. 00:30:00 Speaker 3: And they will come down. 00:30:01 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just so frustrating because I think they'll talk about affordability, and all you need to do is look at any left-wing state to see, can they deliver on affordability? 00:30:10 Speaker 2: No. 00:30:11 Speaker 5: They can't deliver at all on housing. They don't want to deliver on gas prices. 00:30:15 Speaker 6: And that's why... Everyone moves out of those states to red states. 00:30:18 Speaker 3: Oh, they want to get rid of single-family homes. 00:30:20 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:30:20 Speaker 5: And they're hostile to the American dream. Like, they don't like it aesthetically. We are the party that can solve problems. And problems exist, but we're actually solving them. And that's got to be the message. 00:30:34 Speaker 3: We're having a fascinating conversation just in between the break here about how you are working on these manufactured homes, right? 00:30:41 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:30:42 Speaker 3: Explain what that, I had no idea. You just told me a crazy stat that over 20 million people, 20 million Americans are already living in manufactured homes. And then my mind goes to, wait, is this like a mobile home park? 00:30:54 Speaker 10: Is it? 00:30:54 Speaker 3: And so the floor is yours. This is like a big new push. 00:30:59 Speaker 2: Indeed. 00:30:59 Speaker 8: And, you know, that's fair because when you think about manufactured home, the first thing people think about is the mobile homes, the trailer parks of old, you know, from the 60s and 70s. But manufactured homes today, are modern, brilliantly built homes that are luxury. And, I mean, they have granite countertops. They have engineered wood floors. Some have garages, decks, beautiful kitchens, multiple bedrooms. And so, as you said, 22 million people in our country live in manufactured homes around our nation. And, you know, manufactured housing are half the cost of a traditionally stick-built house. And they only take about... literally a fraction of the time to put up and to build. And these houses are built in a factory, put on a truck, taken to the site, built on a site, and families literally can move. 00:31:45 Speaker 4: In and form and raise their families. 00:31:48 Speaker 8: And so they're a tremendous asset to the housing market, to the housing supply needs that we have. We just had our innovative housing showcase on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to showcase some of these houses. I mean, you know, the HUD code. So The Manufactured Housing Code sits at HUD. It's 50 years old, outdated, like many regulations and code in the government. But the new road bill literally took the permanent chassis rule, and that has been taken away. So now you can innovate, build more manufactured housing, build multi-story manufactured housing. And so this increases supply for Americans that are looking to be first-time homebuyers or to own a nice home. 00:32:28 Speaker 3: It's a renaissance in this space. I think that's... Because you don't want to be thinking mobile home, a trailer park, because the aesthetic isn't good. But this is actually a beautiful home. 00:32:41 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 00:32:41 Speaker 3: Ready to go. And it's $ 84 a square foot to build these. 00:32:45 Speaker 5: And even if they're comparable to a mobile home, we should have better mobile homes. We should have better apartment blocks. And that's a great point. When the left puts up affordable housing, they always want it to look like these depressing prisons. 00:32:54 Speaker 2: Right. And just. 00:32:55 Speaker 8: And, guys, that's a great point you made because now either, you know, we have storms, obviously, in our country. These houses are weather-resistant, storm-resistant. And the innovation and really the ingenuity that has gone into this next generation of manufactured housing is really incredible. And I would encourage people to research it. Come look at it. Call HUD. 00:33:14 Speaker 4: Ask us. We'll give you all the information that you need. 00:33:17 Speaker 3: You know, I've actually seen a lot of people use manufactured houses. housing stuff for their ADUs, additional dwelling units, so if you build another house in your backyard or something. 00:33:27 Speaker 6: Which we should also encourage. 00:33:28 Speaker 5: And as another thing, the left loves to harshly regulate against. 00:33:32 Speaker 3: But it's interesting. So I know people are doing it, and they're beautiful. Their design, the aesthetic is wonderful. So anyways, that's cool. But I wanted to talk about this fraud. It really is a crusade. It's a whole-of-government approach. 00:33:46 Speaker 2: J.D. 00:33:47 Speaker 3: Vance is doing an amazing job. But you have encountered... a massive amount of fraud in the homeless industrial complex, especially. And so I instantly said, so you're spending a lot of time in L.A., aren't you? Tell us what you've discovered in your tenure here so far and how the fraud is happening specifically with homelessness. 00:34:05 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 00:34:05 Speaker 8: So, you know, during the Biden administration, really the Obama and Biden era, they had a term called housing first. And this housing first model was supposed to eradicate homelessness. But as we've seen, that has been a failed model. 00:34:19 Speaker 3: In our country. How's that going for you? How's that going for you, L.A.? Well. 00:34:22 Speaker 4: You know, we have record funding. And God, I'm going to tell you, we have record funding for homelessness. 00:34:26 Speaker 6: Sounds like we're going to have record homelessness if there's record funding. 00:34:28 Speaker 8: And we have record homelessness in our country. The homeless industrial complex is real. And you know that saying, follow the money? 00:34:37 Speaker 4: You know, that is a real deal. 00:34:38 Speaker 8: And so there's about nearly $ 4 billion of American taxpayer dollars that's allocated and distributed for homelessness through our continuum of care program. And we're supposed to partner with these agencies, nonprofits, cities, counties, to take care of our homeless neighbors, our homeless men, women, and children. But what we have found is fraud just running rampant. There's a guy in L.A. Multiple guys in LA. We just made a multiple person arrest a few weeks ago with DEA, FBI, U.S. 00:35:09 Speaker 4: Attorney's Office. 00:35:10 Speaker 8: But one gentleman in particular, about $ 23 million he used, but he bought a $ 145, 000 Range Rover, $ 7. 00:35:17 Speaker 4: Million house in California. 00:35:20 Speaker 8: $ 500, 000 vacation house. And this was money that was supposed to go to feed our homeless neighbors. 00:35:26 Speaker 4: And that's just one example. 00:35:28 Speaker 8: Others who had money, American taxpayer money, supposed to be doing stuff for homelessness, built a bingo hall, was paying off his credit cards, was giving lavish gifts to his family. 00:35:38 Speaker 4: And so you know what? 00:35:39 Speaker 8: Law and order under President Trump has been restored under Vice President J.D. Vance with our task force to eliminate fraud. No longer can we just allow things to be status quo. We cannot award fraud and award crime when it comes to American taxpayer money. 00:35:55 Speaker 5: And on the homelessness thing, it stands out to me almost that the fact that that's under... your portfolio gets at how the left has influenced our framing of things because like, why were they saying housing first that they're saying the problem with these individuals who are criminals, drug addicts, often violently antisocial, mentally ill, that the problem is they lack housing. Like this is all downstream that they didn't have housing when the truth is very often they're not in housing because of all of those problems that they They have no family who can handle them or no family at all. 00:36:29 Speaker 6: They're addicts. They can't maintain a job. And that's what you need to fix. 00:36:33 Speaker 3: And the fact that they're so rife with fraud, it just shows this NGO industrial complex. The left's plan for everything is, oh, I hate Elon Musk. He's too rich. I'm going to take all of his money. He's very good at distributing capital efficiently and getting a return on that money and that investment. And I'm going to give it to government, which is the worst investment distributor of capital so i'm going to take from the productive class i'm going to give it to these ngos i'm going to i'm going to siphon it out to these local communities and then i'm not going to police it at all there's just going to be rife with fraud this is like fundamentally the problem with the way the left tries to fix problems they just make everything worse it becomes bloated administrative bloat all this stuff and then fraud bloat and it's just everything about it Bothers me, it irks me, and yet it sounds pretty and compassionate when you sell it to a voter. Even though it's all going to go to crap. That's basically my take. 00:37:27 Speaker 4: And it's not even doing what it's supposed to be doing. Exactly. 00:37:29 Speaker 8: This homeless industrial complex, man. You know, this housing first, that's a failed model. We want treatment first. And to your point, it's what's the root cause of homelessness? It's mental illness and it's drug addiction. In L.A., they hand out brown paper bags with drug paraphernalia in it to keep drug addicts to continue using drugs, mentally ill. 00:37:50 Speaker 4: That's over. 00:37:51 Speaker 3: You've got to follow the incentives. The incentives are we get paid more as an NGO if we have more drug addicts and more homeless. So guess what? Guess what you end up with in places like L.A. 00:37:59 Speaker 6: You get what you pay for. 00:38:00 Speaker 3: You get what you pay for. I hope that this has been time well spent for you. I've been loving this. And hopefully the audience appreciates the sheer amount of wins that this administration is putting up. Yeah, you might be upset about the gas price at the pump. You might be upset with Iran. 00:38:16 Speaker 4: Whatever. 00:38:18 Speaker 3: We cannot go backwards. Not one step back. We are finally getting our country back. We're finally instituting common sense reforms and rooting out fraud and getting affordability back. And you're a big part of that, Secretary Turner. Thank you so much for your time. 00:38:32 Speaker 4: Thank you all for having me. 00:38:33 Speaker 3: We appreciate it. Keep up the good work. 00:38:34 Speaker 2: Thank you. 00:38:37 Speaker 3: By the end of the year, more than 60,000 babies will have been saved by pre-born centers. Just this year, 60,000 babies.

Right now, you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with Preborn. I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us. 00:39:41 Speaker 3: We have a great treat in store for you here at the top of our two. And that is Senator Tim Scott from the great state of South Carolina joining us. He's also the chair of the NRSC. So a man that is deeply entrenched in looking at all the races, all the Senate races specifically around the country. And we've got a lot to get to here. So without further ado, Senator Scott, welcome back to the show. It's good to see you. Thank you very much. I hope we are catching you on a day where you're feeling very bullish about the races around the country, sir. 00:40:13 Speaker 7: I am bullish for the next eight days without any question. I'm bullish on maintaining the majority. I'm bullish on defeating what I think is the most dangerous, radical, weird candidate in the field, the Democrats, Abdul El-Sayed. I'm bullish about making sure that people who have cousin problems like Troy Jackson stays in Maine, doesn't come. 00:40:31 Speaker 2: To Washington, D.C. 00:40:32 Speaker 7: I'm also bullish about the fact that James, as the president calls him, uh talafrico uh does not see the floor of the senate ever uh texas is going to reject him so i'm bullish about our map. 00:40:44 Speaker 3: All right good so let's start in texas then because that's a place that a lot of people have questions about and you know you're seeing some people online that are studying the map and studying the data coming out of texas and it does seem that democrats got out real strong right at the beginning right so those first drops were looking very very strong the turnout in Texas looks like it's going to blow records away. And that's partly because of how much money and attention this race has been spent on this race and all the attention from a media standpoint. Are you feeling like Republicans are starting to respond? I'm hearing good things out of the rurals, West Texas, East Texas, that we are starting to respond in kind. And just sorry to continue on here, sir, but We don't have party registration data in Texas like we do, say, in Arizona or North Carolina. So we don't know exactly. It's all based on modeling. So what are your models showing you? What is the data that you're seeing? 00:41:42 Speaker 7: Well, the good news is there was, and I think you hit the nail on the head. Gosh, you guys are so smart. I tell you, to be honest with you, what a wonderful show. 00:41:48 Speaker 2: Thank you. 00:41:50 Speaker 7: Thank God for what you do and how you do it across this nation. 00:41:55 Speaker 2: We have been blessed, blessed by you all. 00:41:58 Speaker 7: Here's what I would tell you, that there's been a huge enthusiasm gap a few months ago between Republican voters and Democrat voters, particularly, frankly, in Texas. What we're seeing happening over the last several weeks is this margin has been closing slowly. And now very quickly, we're seeing this surge of enthusiasm again. On our side, frankly, in part because President Trump has said this election is about him, his agenda, and I would add to that his legacy. Republicans are coming home in Texas. That is really good news. When we watch what's happening, especially in the high concentrated areas of Texas where Republicans live and vote, we're excited to see what's happening. That's really good news, frankly, for Ken Paxton. Better news for the ability to hold on to the majority across the country. 00:42:46 Speaker 3: All right, so I have to ask the elephant in the room question here, Senator. Obviously, there's a bit of spilt milk with Cornyn. Do you feel like the Cornyn supporters are coming home? Because, I mean, candidly, a lot of the establishment in D.C., a lot of the early money in the primary went against Paxton, and now it's supporting him. Are we seeing those wounds get mended? Are we seeing those voters come home? What are you hearing? 00:43:13 Speaker 7: They are coming home, which is part of the enthusiasm gap that's closed very quickly. And one of the signs I've seen, one of the clearest indications of that, every time I was calling for funds and for votes about two months ago, four or five weeks ago, people were saying, don't spend money here. Now what I'm hearing is exactly the opposite. It's people saying, how can I help in Texas? I'm hearing Texans finally saying, whether you like the guy or not, here's what we know. 00:43:41 Speaker 1: James. 00:43:42 Speaker 7: Talofrico is bad for Texas. A non-binary God, six genders, a person who believes that capitalism is white supremacy. You can look at my face, I can tell you this with clarity. Free markets and capitalism changes the lives of the poorest people around the world because of what we do in America. And so at the end of the day, what James Talofrico has said and what Ken Paxton has done, those two things from a political perspective They're adding more weight to the ballot on our side. 00:44:14 Speaker 2: That's good news. 00:44:16 Speaker 7: And then I'd finally say this, that when you have Ken Paxton's ex-wife saying, vote for Republicans, everyone should be able to say, vote for Republicans in Texas. And I would hope that John Cornyn as well would be able to say, whether you like the guy or not. I get the challenges between the two. At the end of the day, this is not about John Cornyn It is not about Ken Paxton. It's about President Trump finishing and creating a firewall so the next Supreme Court justice is decided by a Senate run by Republicans in support of President Trump, if that ever happens. Judicial appointments, all that comes through the Senate. We've got to have a firewall in the Senate. 00:45:01 Speaker 2: Bottom line. 00:45:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm honestly pretty angry that Senator Cornyn has not endorsed Paxton so far. I think we have to send the message. That is unacceptable behavior. If you are a Republican officeholder in this country, you are against the left. You are against what the left wants to do to this country. And do you have beefs? Does politics lead to a lot of unfortunate drama and most political careers end kind of badly? Yes, that is in the nature of politics. And if you are a patriot, if you care about this country, you fight for this country, even if you have a problem with the guy who beat you in a primary. 00:45:34 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:45:35 Speaker 3: I totally agree. 00:45:35 Speaker 2: It's not about who. It's about what. 00:45:37 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:45:38 Speaker 2: That's my line. 00:45:39 Speaker 3: But listen, I mean, we were early endorsers of Paxton, so we were happy with the primary. But listen, we got to get it over the finish line. We have to. 100%. And Talrico, I mean, the guy was absent. MIA. I don't care if he was at a mental. 00:45:54 Speaker 4: Health hospital or he had the flu. 00:45:56 Speaker 3: You don't do that in the middle of one of the most important races in the country. Completely disqualifying, all the non-binary stuff, the white supremacy stuff, the vegan stuff. 00:46:05 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. 00:46:08 Speaker 2: Listen. All of it. 00:46:09 Speaker 4: All of it. 00:46:09 Speaker 2: All of it matters. 00:46:10 Speaker 3: Let's turn our attention to Michigan. I agree with you. Abdul El-Sayed is the worst candidate that I have ever seen run for U.S. 00:46:18 Speaker 2: Senate. 00:46:18 Speaker 3: Bar none, not even a question. He can't disavow the Muslim Brotherhood in less than like 48 words. He can't disavow care. He's lying about his medical background. He's lying about his ties to these radical Islamists. He speaks, by the way, at these mosques that are in Detroit, the Detroit Islamic Center. People don't know this. He's speaking at them, doing events with them. And these people are radicalizing their followers. Absolutely the most radical, violent, anti-American, jihadi kind of talk. And he speaks at these events. 00:46:53 Speaker 2: And he does it every single time, man. 00:46:56 Speaker 7: Listen, one of the most powerful things I've heard in a long time coming out of Michigan was an African-American pastor on the west side of Detroit who simply said, Abdul El-Sayed cares more about the West Bank than he does the west side of Detroit. 00:47:11 Speaker 2: That clearly tells me the truth. Secondly, I've heard. 00:47:16 Speaker 7: Abdul El-Sayed wants to have Medicare for all. That's $ 70 trillion over 10 years, more money than the federal government takes. 00:47:26 Speaker 2: In the revenues. 00:47:27 Speaker 7: Number three, Abdul El-Sayed simply has said, let's abolish ICE, defund the police, open the prison doors. 00:47:37 Speaker 2: And reparations. Even Stephen A. Smith challenged Abdul El-Sayed, we don't have the money. 00:47:45 Speaker 7: Let's move on to things that actually make a difference for all Americans. When you're being challenged by Van Jones' left works for Obama about who Abdul El-Sayed is, I'm hoping Democrats and independents are paying attention. 00:47:59 Speaker 2: I can tell you who's paying attention. 00:48:01 Speaker 7: The Jewish community is paying attention. 00:48:03 Speaker 2: I went to an. 00:48:03 Speaker 7: Event in Michigan with Mike Rogers, which we saw Republicans, Democrats, and independents in the Jewish community coming together because they want to create a firewall in Michigan to stop Abdul El-Sayed. Not because he's Muslim, but because he supports the Muslim brotherhood. 00:48:20 Speaker 2: That's the kind of dangerous person he is. 00:48:23 Speaker 3: There's a When a man like this cannot give you a simple yes or no answer, if you ask him if he wants to abolish ISIS, he'll say yes. If you ask him if he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood, why. 00:48:35 Speaker 4: Are you asking me this? 00:48:36 Speaker 3: Is it because I'm Muslim? And then all of a sudden he gets all cute. Yeah, it's disgusting. Because he ultimately knows, first of all, he doesn't want to alienate the Dearborn. I mean, there's about 250,000 Muslim voters in Michigan. So he doesn't want to alienate them. But secondly... It's because he's telling you who he actually is. 00:48:57 Speaker 12: My daughter goes to University of Detroit Mercy. She's in her second year of law school, and she has to hide being Jewish. And it's a hard thing to say when October 7th came. Horrible for her. Lots of tears. I may go to Mike Rogers. 00:49:18 Speaker 7: Sorry, guys. 00:49:19 Speaker 1: Don't worry, guys. 00:49:20 Speaker 8: You should not apologize. No, you should not apologize. You deserve to vote and be comfortable. 00:49:27 Speaker 3: That is a Jewish woman defecting from the Democrat Party to vote Mike Rogers. I will just say, Senator Scott, I was a little leery when Mike Rogers was the guy I was like, Oh gosh, a little neocon for me. Little, I don't know, old. I was, but the guy has been throwing fastballs like absolutely. I mean, 10 out of 10, the guy is doing 10 out of 10 hammering him and he will not let Abdul side up off the mat. And I'm just, I'm just, I just want to be the first to say I was a little bit wrong. I wasn't that enthused. I am enthused. The guy is crushing it. He has a real chance here. I want to ask you, you're you're a black American. Some might have noticed. What do you think is the the black vote specifically in Wayne and Flint? Why are they not? Why are they leery of Abdul al-Assad? 00:50:20 Speaker 2: Well, I think they're because they're Christians, number one. 00:50:23 Speaker 7: I mean, the fact of the matter is they love... So listen, I love America as we are. The bottom line is that we're not perfect. There's no perfect place on the planet. The only perfection we'll see is when Jesus comes back for the second coming. 00:50:35 Speaker 2: Until then, what we have to do is make what we have better. 00:50:39 Speaker 7: I don't want a different America. 00:50:41 Speaker 2: I want this America. 00:50:42 Speaker 7: I think you're hearing the same kind of sentiment out of many of the black churches in Detroit and Wayne County. Why? 00:50:48 Speaker 2: Because... We want this America. 00:50:50 Speaker 7: Frankly, Frederick Douglass said it back in the 1800s when he talked about, we're going to fight for what we see in the Constitution, not against it. When you love America, you want America to rise up to its full potential. 00:51:04 Speaker 2: What the Democrat Socialists of America, what. 00:51:07 Speaker 7: The communists want, What, frankly, Abdul El-Sayed wants is a different America. He wants to change the very DNA of what it means to be American. And I want to stand in the gap and say, no, not on my watch. 00:51:20 Speaker 2: Why? 00:51:20 Speaker 7: Because America's done too much for me, for my family, for who we are as a country. We have to fight that tooth and nail. 00:51:27 Speaker 2: And this, frankly... is the beginning of the war, in my opinion. 00:51:32 Speaker 7: Abdul El-Sayed is the beginning. You just talked about Minneapolis. We see the autonomous zones in Washington State. There is something brewing that is dark and insidious on the far left. Do not think this fight is something we just have a skirmish. This is an all-out conflict for the soul of America. 00:51:54 Speaker 2: And we must win starting now. 00:51:58 Speaker 3: And if we, if we look to Brazil, we look to France. I mean, once you give these animals power, they're not going to give it back to you just without a fight. Okay. So we got to like, you're right. We got to win the beginning of the war. It makes the rest of it much easier. Let's do a quick rapid fire here though. Um, because we got a lot of other races on the map. You mentioned Minneapolis, Michelle Tafoya. She's, she's doing a great job. She's a very electrical candidate in that state. How are we liking her chances? 00:52:25 Speaker 2: I like her chances. She's within the margin of error without any question. 00:52:28 Speaker 7: Peggy Flanagan is part of the corruption that we've seen for the Somali community. 00:52:32 Speaker 2: She helped cover it over, whitewash it. 00:52:34 Speaker 7: Michelle Tafoya, strong, independent candidate who's doing a fabulous job. Fundraising numbers are good. She's out in the community. She's well-loved, well-liked, and frankly, she's a Minnesotan. So the bottom line is this. Yes, we have to finish strong, run through the tape, not to the tape. I believe that if there's a place that we should be excited about on the map, Minnesota is one of the three places along with Michigan. 00:52:57 Speaker 2: And frankly, don't forget New Hampshire, Johnson. 00:53:00 Speaker 3: Senator Scott, we're, we're going all out in New Hampshire. We got our ballot chasers all, all over the ground. We're pulling out all the stops. We got big surprises for election day and election day Eve. Uh, we're going to surprise some people there. I think Sununu has got a great chance. Uh, If you want to chime in on that. 00:53:16 Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, he's moved the numbers probably because of your efforts based on what you just said. He's moved the numbers significantly in the last five weeks. We've seen him go from down nearly double digits down to now within the margin of error. Some polls have even shown him up in the last two or three weeks. Most show it even or down by one. Hey, all we need is the right turnout model. I've always said most races are decided in the last 72 hours. If we finish strong, let nothing up, let no one off the mat. I believe John Sununu will be the next senator representing the great state of New Hampshire. 00:53:50 Speaker 2: All right. 00:53:50 Speaker 3: Well, you didn't say that about Michelle. Not saying you don't believe it, but that says a lot. You said it about Sununu. 00:53:57 Speaker 2: All right. Tough race. 00:53:57 Speaker 7: But Sununu, I mean, he is right there at the finish line. 00:54:01 Speaker 3: Susan Collins in Maine. You feeling good about that? 00:54:04 Speaker 2: I am. 00:54:05 Speaker 7: Susan Collins is a juggernaut. She is one of the most disciplined candidates you'll see on the map. She will be the, continue to serve the great state of Maine. I will also say Troy Jackson, fathering kids with his cousin is weird, but also weird is the fact that he said he would run as a communist. I mean, put those two together and his anger towards women. This is a state where we should continue to see Susan Collins serve. 00:54:27 Speaker 3: Darling Graham, South Carolina, your home state, uh, There was this, you know, the Young Turks came out with this big thing about Lindsey Graham. It was like a total nothing burger. 00:54:37 Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, okay. 00:54:39 Speaker 3: How are we feeling about Darlene? Any issues? I can't imagine. 00:54:42 Speaker 2: I feel good. I can't either. 00:54:44 Speaker 7: I'm doing more work here than I have done in the past without questioning that the race is too close for my comfort. At the end of the day, what we know about the Democrats today, they are wolves in sheep clothing all across the country. None of them are running with a Democrat by their names. 00:54:59 Speaker 2: They're all pretending to be something that they're not. If you have to lie to win, you ought to lose completely. 00:55:04 Speaker 7: And Annie Andrews, as President Trump calls her, Tranny Annie, here's a person who believes as a pediatrician, For a surgery, trans surgery, gender surgery for trans kids, that's wrong. 00:55:21 Speaker 2: Period. Number one. Number two, she wants to take away the guns. 00:55:25 Speaker 7: She made twice as much money last year for promoting gun safety, speaking at gun safety rallies, than she did as a physician. 00:55:35 Speaker 6: We ought to be scared of this woman. 00:55:39 Speaker 2: 100%. 100%. All right. 00:55:40 Speaker 3: So Nebraska... Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Kansas. 00:55:45 Speaker 2: I think we're going to win not running away in. 00:55:47 Speaker 7: Kansas, but we're going to win in Kansas, Nebraska. Pete Ricketts is doing really well. 00:55:52 Speaker 2: Iowa. 00:55:53 Speaker 7: Ashley Henson is a fantastic candidate. I believe she wins by two or three. It's tight as ticks there, but we're going to win there. 00:55:59 Speaker 3: Husted in Ohio. 00:56:01 Speaker 7: Tough race there, without any question. John Husted is running very neck and neck with Sherrod Brown. The president will be there just in a couple of days. That's great news, frankly. I'll be there the day after, trying to help out a little bit. President Trump's a big fish. Frankly, he's a whale. He's like the blue whale to me. When he comes, he leaves a major splash. That's the kind of guy we need. 00:56:23 Speaker 2: All right. 00:56:24 Speaker 3: Final tally in the Senate. Your prediction. 00:56:26 Speaker 13: 52. 00:56:26 Speaker 7: 52? 00:56:26 Speaker 2: At least 52, yeah. 00:56:29 Speaker 3: I love to listen. If we get 52 in the Senate, I'm overjoyed. We are all going to be, we could get wiped out in the house. 00:56:36 Speaker 6: I will be selling that. 00:56:37 Speaker 3: If we get 50, 50 in the Senate with JD is the tiebreaker. By the way, I I'll be happy. I, by the way, I just want to make a final pitch. We just got a last minute drop in Maricopa. It was our 6.9, our 6.9, the latest drop in Maricopa. Senator, we need to take, The ballot chasing that we're doing and perfecting and take it nationwide because these low props, we get them out and we know how to do it. 00:57:03 Speaker 2: Thank you all. 00:57:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, this get out the vote, this ballot chase that we're doing is so, so critical. So God bless to everybody. God bless you, Senator Scott, for all you're doing. 00:57:11 Speaker 2: Thanks, sir. 00:57:14 Speaker 3: An important message from Noble Gold Investments. November 3rd, control of Congress is on the line. And whatever happens, your savings are going to feel it. If Democrats take power, we could be looking at years of gridlock, followed by the same policies that fueled inflation before. More spending, bigger deficits, and a weaker dollar. We lived through this already. In June 2022, inflation was out of control and unchecked. Now, the national debt is over $ 40 trillion, and Washington isn't slowing down. What has gold done since 2022? 00:57:43 Speaker 10: Doubled. 00:57:43 Speaker 3: Up over 100%. That's right. You can't control what happens on election day. You can control how prepared you are. That's why so many Americans are turning to physical gold and silver. Visit noblegoldinvestments.com slash kirk. That's noblegoldinvestments.com slash kirk.

It was a 53,000 ballot drop. Republicans won it by 6.9%. So we have a 0.1 advantage over the Dems statewide, but this was a huge, huge new drop. So we're not there yet. We need everybody to turn out. Today is, actually, tomorrow is the last day you can get in your mail-in ballot in Arizona and for it to get in in time. So please, please, please, if you're thinking about mailing your ballot in, you've got to put it in tomorrow, into the mailbox, or you've got to vote early in person, or election day. 00:58:56 Speaker 5: Or you can drop it off. If you fill it out and it's past that day, just drive. They're very close to you where you can drop off those ballots in person. That is also a way to do it. 00:59:05 Speaker 2: Wonderful. All right. 00:59:07 Speaker 3: So we now have Brandi Cruz. She's an independent reporter, journalist, and she's the host of the Undivided Pod podcast. You can get that at undividedpod.com. And she tried to do something you're not supposed to do. And that is go to a WNBA game and be completely sane about genders and the role of the sexes. Brandy, welcome to the show. I'm so sorry. I saw the clips over the weekend of what happened to you. I couldn't believe what happened to you. They manhandled you like you were some thug, like a criminal, just for wearing an XXXY shirt at a WNBA game. Tell the audience... What happened to you? And yeah, give us the whole backstory here because it was unbelievable. 00:59:54 Speaker 9: Not WNBA, Portland Thorns game, which is the National Women's Soccer League. 00:59:58 Speaker 3: Well, that's the same, same, same. 01:00:00 Speaker 9: Yeah, we've done, I mean, same response, really. We've actually, the WNBA, as we did some of those Sophie Cunningham rallies across the country that started here in Seattle where I am, they treated us better, you know? I mean, they didn't treat us great, but they treated us better. I mean, obviously, you know, it's so funny to watch the left say, this was staged, this was staged. I mean, of course it was staged. You know, we all showed up, about 50 of us with our XXXY shirts, had jackets on because it was an outdoor stadium until the half. And then once the second half started, we revealed our T-shirts and the crowd went absolutely bananas. And one of the things that, you know, and all they had to do is just not react. And it wouldn't have been the story that it is. And just let us be there and peace and sending our political message as they send so many political messages at these games. And one of the things you have to know about Northwest soccer fans in particular is they're very far left. And for them, politics and cheering on soccer teams are inextricably linked. They, you know, have signs all the time about, you know, F ice. There were signs F Trump. They fly in some instances, the Antifa flag. They have messages about immigration, about refugees, about trans kids matter, trans kids belong in sports. So it's not as if this setting is unused to political messages. And that's really all we were doing with our T-shirts. If you even consider a shirt with chromosomes on it to be. 01:01:21 Speaker 1: A political message. 01:01:23 Speaker 3: Well, so I went to school at the University of Washington, Brandy. And so I remember going to soccer games, being completely floored at just how political they were. And so I totally understand the culture, but I think it's gotten even worse since I left. And this just goes to show how little I know about the WNBA. I just assumed the Thorns was the WNBA. 01:01:43 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. You just don't know the team. 01:01:45 Speaker 3: Because I don't know the team names. Women's, teams, yeah, probably WNBA. And I just assumed, given our current political moment, that it was the WNBA. So my apologies here. But this is crazy. So you just walk in, and we have this clip. Hopefully we don't have to do the dump button, because I know leftists have no shame themselves. But just to give the audience a sense of the scene here, it's truly wild. Stop 15. 01:02:11 Speaker 6: They're trying to make us leave. 01:02:12 Speaker 9: We haven't done anything wrong. 01:02:14 Speaker 8: I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. 01:02:17 Speaker 12: I bought a ticket. 01:02:18 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. 01:02:19 Speaker 9: So here's my question for you. 01:02:21 Speaker 7: Why? 01:02:32 Speaker 9: We're being escorted out, but they're not being escorted out. 01:02:36 Speaker 6: I haven't done it. 01:02:38 Speaker 9: I think you know exactly why. 01:02:39 Speaker 4: No, I don't know why. We can talk more about it at the top. 01:02:42 Speaker 3: This is not the place where we're going to. 01:02:44 Speaker 9: Have to talk. 01:02:45 Speaker 3: But here's the thing is, we're just wearing shirts. 01:02:48 Speaker 4: We have to walk out and talk. 01:02:49 Speaker 1: We're not going to. 01:02:50 Speaker 2: Stand here and talk. 01:02:51 Speaker 1: I'm going to put my hands on you. 01:02:53 Speaker 2: I'm a police officer. 01:02:54 Speaker 4: I'm going to put my hands on you. 01:02:57 Speaker 2: Bye! 01:02:57 Speaker 3: Bye! 01:02:57 Speaker 2: Bye! 01:03:00 Speaker 3: Okay, so what is truly amazing about this is before you get manhandled and forcibly removed from this venue, behind you, they're waving political flags. All over that stadium, they are shouting their politics from the rooftops, their advocacy. You are peacefully wearing a shirt, and they single you out. 01:03:21 Speaker 10: Unbelievable. 01:03:22 Speaker 11: All of us. 01:03:23 Speaker 8: All of us. 01:03:23 Speaker 9: So they have not said to date, and I know multiple media organizations have asked, both local TV stations in Portland, national outlets, why we were removed. And the Thorns have not provided any sort of explanation. And they didn't to us in the moment either. You heard that security guard say, you know what you did. 01:03:39 Speaker 3: And I'm thinking. 01:03:40 Speaker 9: I really I really don't know what I did. What did I do? So because, as I said, we're taking up three rows and a lot of the people I was with are I'll call them elder lesbians. You know, they're they're gray haired Democrat or a former Democrat lesbians. And so when security came and we're under assault, I mean, they surrounded us. They stockpiled trans pride flags when they realized what we were about to do. They surrounded us. They're hitting us with them. We're getting beer spilt on us. It's insane. And I had a straight eyeline to security saying, can you help us? And I have a ton of video we're going to release today where you just hear me very calmly over and over plead with the fans around us. You can wave your flags. Just please stop hitting us. Please stop hitting us. And then so security comes in. And I think that they're about to kind of form a little barrier for us to continue to watch the game in peace. No, they said, you guys have to leave. And so some of the elder lesbians, as I've said, they decided to walk up and follow security out. But I said, and the reason you see me dragged out, people have been saying, oh, she's not telling the whole story. Why would they drag her out? 01:04:43 Speaker 6: No one else. 01:04:44 Speaker 9: It's because I made them, frankly. I was so blown away. 01:04:47 Speaker 3: In the moment. 01:04:48 Speaker 9: And I thought, if you are going to remove me, not tell me why, when I haven't done anything wrong except be assaulted. then you're going to have to own that decision and you are going to have to put your hands on me. And so they did. And they, you know, you see the security guard, you know, wrench my arm behind my back, which, you know, my shoulder's killing me today over that. And then up to the concession area where they sort of let me go and they said, you have to leave. And they'd opened up a side gate for us to leave out of. And I said, no, you call the Portland police. And if the police want me out, I won't resist the police. You know, I'll do what the police say. But and so they picked me up all 148 pounds of me and they tossed me out the side gate onto the streets of Portland. 01:05:31 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. 01:05:32 Speaker 5: Which can be a pretty dangerous street sometimes. 01:05:34 Speaker 6: They let a lot of bad actors roam about. 01:05:37 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, listen, there is like a very strange, almost like communal, religious, quasi-religious element of this soccer culture. I don't know that this is like the, you know, the crux of the matter here, but it is very strange. Because conservatives, we tend to go to church. We tend to do community events with our children and our families, and we build our businesses. 01:06:02 Speaker 4: No, no, no. 01:06:03 Speaker 3: The left, they go to soccer games. They go to no-kings rallies. And the fervor with which they approach this, where they feel completely immune by assaulting you, degrading you, spitting on you, throwing beers on you. Like there is a psychotic break. The, the dehumanization is so complete. And I think it's not unconnected to what we experienced with Charlie. And when Charlie was killed and the dehumanization effort where they, where they mocked his death, where they celebrate it, they call it Kirkiversary. There is something deeply and profoundly spiritually wrong that is setting in with the far left and, and, hotbeds like it of you know in the northwest in san francisco it's terrifying it's terrifying to watch what they did to you brandy and i. 01:06:53 Speaker 9: Wish people would wake up to this across the political spectrum and i will say you know even in portland some of the fans were on our side as security was dragging us out and then we got out onto the streets and we were chanting save women's sports and some of the fans as they left were chanting it with us and so i think some people are waking up to this radical gender ideology. And you mentioned, Charlene, it's very true. I mean, this is not hyperbole, that we're entering a period that reflects, you know, the precursor to some of the darkest, deadliest periods in world history. Whether you look at, you know, I was talking to a friend about this earlier and, you know, whenever those, you know, the Nazis and the Bolsheviks and Mao, you know, whenever you look back historically at those periods and you think, how did this happen? How did so many people allow it to happen? How did so many people go along with it and turn in their neighbors and watch the execution of people, their fellow countrymen? Look at the Portland game. Look at what happened. Look at the mob mentality. 01:07:48 Speaker 3: And you can. 01:07:48 Speaker 9: See how they can be convinced because of an ideology. that it is perfectly fine to answer dissent with violence, even in the United States of America. There was one male, large male Portland Thorns fan who pushed a 57-year-old lesbian named Julie over two rows of seating. And he later told her, because that was kind of at the beginning of this ordeal, and he later apologized and said he didn't even know what people were mad at us about. He was just in the moment, and it was this mob mentality. And so I think as Americans, we have to understand that You know, we already have clearly with Charlie and the attempt to assassinate President Trump and some of these individual instances, we already have a segment of the left that believes it is appropriate to answer speech with violence because they believe words are violence. But I don't think we're very far removed from a nation where depending on who gets into power, of a government that also believes that. If this segment of the left continues to grow, if the Democratic Party continues to give it cover and make excuses for it, and the Democratic Party gets back in power, do we really believe that we're that far removed from government punishment for wrong think and wrong speech? I don't believe so. 01:08:59 Speaker 6: No. 01:08:59 Speaker 3: I mean, you see what's happening in France. You see what's happening in Brazil. I mean, there's a lot of terrifying indicators on the dashboard of democracy, as. 01:09:11 Speaker 4: They call it. 01:09:12 Speaker 5: Their system is crumbling, and they're getting more and more frantic as it crumbles around them. 01:09:17 Speaker 10: Yeah. 01:09:18 Speaker 3: Brandy, I'm glad that you're okay, and I hope that there is accountability for what happened to you. It was completely wrong. I believe your civil rights were infringed. I believe that you were assaulted. And hopefully there's accountability for that. Hopefully the next time we talk to you, we get to hear about the DOJ cracking down or something, right? Because this is obscene. What happened to you is so obscene. Please, everybody, support Brandy's work at the Undivided Podcast, undividedpod.com. Thank you, Brandy, for coming on. I appreciate it so much. My pleasure. All right, I got to play this clip because we're talking about the midterms, which we should. And I want you to see very clearly what their plan is here. 01:09:59 Speaker 4: It's not two. 01:10:00 Speaker 11: You said we're going to run Pete Hegseth out of town. 01:10:03 Speaker 4: What does that mean? 01:10:04 Speaker 14: It means that we're going to hold him accountable in the same way that we held Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem accountable. 01:10:10 Speaker 9: But they were kind of pushed to the side by the president. 01:10:13 Speaker 14: And Pete Hegseth needs to be pushed aside by the president. or we're going to have to deal with that situation if he is not. 01:10:21 Speaker 3: Do you see that? Can't name a high crime or misdemeanor. Can't give any specifics. He just knows that if he is Speaker of the House come next year, after these midterms, they're going to run Pete Hegseth out of Washington. Doesn't explain why, doesn't explain how, but they're going to do it. I.e., they're going to impeach the Secretary of War. 01:10:46 Speaker 1: 100%. 01:10:48 Speaker 3: They're not making any ifs, ands, or buts about it. They're not hiding the ball. They're telling you who they are. They're telling you what they plan to do. 01:10:55 Speaker 4: Terrifying. 01:10:56 Speaker 5: And, I mean, that's just going to be their template for everything. I think one of the biggest things to focus on in this race, for example, is we need to keep the Senate. And why do we need to keep the Senate? I was telling you before the show, I think what Democrats are ready to do is they will block all appointees. They will just say, this is an illegitimate administration. It can't be allowed to be staffed. So, No ambassadors, no undersecretaries. We have way too many political appointees that need Senate confirmation. They'll blockade them all. No judges, certainly no Supreme Court judges, but even lower court ones, they will try to 100% paralyze the government. And that is why it's important to hold the Senate. As we say, not one step back. And the thinking here is we literally just can't go backwards. We have to maintain the gains we have made. The left is absolutely fanatical about making it 2021 again. 01:11:47 Speaker 6: They want the age. 01:11:48 Speaker 5: Of where they're in power, they're censoring everything, they are regulating everything, they look towards Britain or Germany or Brazil as aspirational models. And those are countries that are absolutely falling apart at the seams. Desperately, they have this liberal, globalist elite trying to cling to power with ever-intensifying control of society. And that is the only model they know. That's what they implement in New York, in California, in every other country. That's what they want. 01:12:15 Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting to me, too, that they've become so radicalized. You saw that with the Brandi Cruz thing. It's like Trump unleashed all of their demons. Every single sort of debased instinct that the left has had has been maybe hiding under wraps for many years. It is out in the open. The veil has been torn. The mask is off. They are absolutely hell-bent on seizing power by any means necessary. And increasingly, when they realize they can't win in the court of public opinion— they are willing to go to great lengths. Just over the weekend, Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, says that every single person that Harmeet Dhillon has hired at the DOJ has to go. They got to go. They just got to go. This is not the time for timidity. Now, Eric Holder is basically a thug, all right? And so when you see these people that are getting put back onto the Sunday shows, telling you exactly what they expect to do, we will see completely unabashed, unfettered weaponization of the legal system when these people get in power and i do think it was probably a mistake that we didn't go harder on some of these people ourselves candidly yeah because they need to know that we will match fire with fire that we will we will hit them with the same stuff they hit us and i don't think that we did this enough we'll play the clip here uh sat. 01:13:35 Speaker 10: 16 you have to see take this for what it is this is an aberration this is a you two-, three-, four-year aberration, and it's going to take some time to rebuild the reputation of the Justice Department. Given all of the power that this Supreme Court has given to the executive branch, you can certainly make huge personnel changes within the Justice Department. All those people who Harmeet Dhillon has hired, for instance, in the Civil Rights Division and turned around what the historic mission of that division has been. 01:14:06 Speaker 2: They've got to go. 01:14:07 Speaker 4: They just got to go. 01:14:08 Speaker 10: So whatever president comes in next, they have to get rid of all of those, the Harmeet Dhillons that have been appointed into those positions. 01:14:15 Speaker 13: This is not a time for timidity. The power that the Supreme Court has given to the executive branch, to the president, has got to be used by hopefully the next Democratic president to restore some sense of order, balance, and the norms that have governed the Justice Department for decades. 01:14:33 Speaker 3: You see what he just did there, too, by the way. Not only did he come after Harmeet Dhillon, who has taken the civil rights division from an anti-white discrimination apparatus and restored colorblind justice. To an actual justice apparatus. So she's actually done an amazing job. So he goes after that. And then he brings up the Supreme Court because guess what? The other thing that they want to do is they want to pack the Supreme Court. Even Hillary Clinton is now in favor of doing this. She's out in front on the cameras, on the Sunday shows, saying we've got to pack the Supreme Court. 01:15:03 Speaker 5: We talk about what the Overton window, how it needs to shift on the right, how we need it to mainstream. Oh, an immigration moratorium, actual mass deportations, a lot of stuff. The left's Overton window has moved a lot more than ours, frankly. And what they've moved towards is total institutional destruction in order to keep power. The left, they're writing their papers about how they can legally do a constitutional coup d'etat, where you can decapitate the courts, decapitate our traditional apparatus, do mass amnesty, open borders, never lose an election again. That is the game plan they are entirely ready to follow. 01:15:40 Speaker 3: So, the choice is yours, America. Which way, Western man? Are we going to defend this way of life in this American republic? Or are we going to give it over to the communists because we're mad about gas prices? I hope we can see further down the road than just the front of our nose. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
