The U.S. and Israel will reportedly hold a virtual meeting today to discuss the Biden administration s alternative proposals to Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip. Republicans take aim at President Biden for honoring Transgender Day of Visibility, and Republicans assailed it as an assault on Christianity. Actor Elliot Page joins us to give us his take.
00:15:09.840So if you can contrast and visual visual is so important.
00:15:14.280And it's something that I've had to explain to candidates and politicians so many times
00:15:18.380to point out that this is what people remember.
00:15:21.940People remember things because we are visual visual is always going to have a representation
00:15:27.960and a higher weight in anyone's memory than a verbal or textual.
00:15:33.700So if you type tweet something, if you say something, it's the visual is still going to be more powerful.
00:15:37.760Uh, so to point that out, the visuals of president Trump being there with the family are going to be remembered the same way that everybody remembers when Trump went to East Palestine and then Biden didn't go there for like an entire year.
00:15:52.200People remember J.D. Vance going to East Palestine, throwing the stick in the river.
00:15:56.640So easy. It's like the easiest 12 seconds of work he ever did, you know, but but the point is, is that these are the things that people remember.
00:16:05.820When you're in the social media environment, when you're in the social media environment, you can combine the two for politics.
00:16:09.980It seems though that for for Biden, his these guys, they try very hard and like Andrew Bates, their comms director, who it's he's so bad at his job that it's actually fun for me to watch him on a regular basis.
00:16:22.540Try to explain this stuff away because, you know, their visuals are like, oh, we're up at Radio City Music Hall wearing wearing aviators like like, OK, as as Americans are all freaking out and people are paying extra, you know, double for eggs than they were a couple of years ago.
00:16:38.980And you think that visual is good for you somehow. No, it's it's a joke.
00:16:44.840People are out there hurting and you guys are acting like it's a party.
00:16:48.960Yeah, there's a few things I would unpack there. First is, is that the the the talent around Joe Biden is not very good.
00:16:57.180Right. Like Andrew Bates, you mentioned, he's just a terrible communicator.
00:17:01.140Right. Like this guy's going to cost Joe Biden tens of thousands of votes in Rust Belt states around the country just by being a bore.
00:17:08.980Right. Like and bore. I mean, B-O-O-R. Right. Like, you know, terrible person.
00:17:13.580Andrew Bates is Kareem Jean-Pierre, another one, a terrible communicator, is the White House press secretary.
00:17:19.240I don't know if you saw that she literally hung up on a radio show in North Carolina when they were asking totally legitimate questions.
00:17:26.520Right. They asked, does the president have dementia? And she answered the question.
00:17:30.660And then they asked about what's he going to do about grocery prices and inflation.
00:17:35.240And then she hung up on the show like she literally hung up in the middle of the interview.
00:17:38.680I mean, I've never seen anything like this before. I've interviewed so many people, candidates, et cetera.
00:17:43.800If you hang up in the middle of the interview when you're getting asked basic, you know, basic, basic questions, that's she's just a terrible communicator.
00:17:51.260So unless Biden magically finds some new talented communicators and whatnot for his campaign, I think he's in serious trouble in this regard.
00:18:00.560And then the second thing I would unpack there is, again, this emphasis on moments.
00:18:05.220So what Trump needs to keep doing over the course of this race, and he's been doing it, is draw moments, create moments.
00:18:12.640The more he does that, the more he's palestines, the better it is for him.
00:19:09.580Well, there's one thing you're forgetting, and it can make the difference, the biggest difference, in your future and your family's financial future,
00:19:15.040and that's checking out today's episode sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
00:19:18.720Since 2020, Bidenomics has obliterated the American economy.
00:19:23.140Imagine what four more years will do to interest rates, debt, labor disputes.
00:19:28.500You need something stable so that you need to take a breath and know that that money you earned, that retirement you work for, is safe.
00:19:36.280You have to proactively protect your assets so that when the supply chains get rocked and Biden decides to print a few more trillion-dollar bills, it won't impact your family's bottom line.
00:19:46.320And the only way to do that is with the one true beacon of stability that so many patriots use to preserve their wealth with, and that's my friend, is gold.
00:19:53.380Over the last five years, it's almost doubled in value, and with the way things are looking, the sky is the limit.
00:20:00.040Allegiance Gold has done things the right way from the beginning, so it's no coincidence that they've earned the highest trust ratings in the precious metals industry, five stars at TrustLink, and an A-plus with a better business bureau.

00:20:35.320Matt Boyle, the Washington Bureau Chief, is our guest.
00:20:39.060Matt, I've got to tell you, I'm looking at some of these polls that came out over the weekend.
00:20:43.440I believe there was one that was raised to the White House.
00:20:45.820And what was really interesting that I saw was that President Trump in swing state after swing state is actually running ahead of pretty much all the Republican Senate candidates.
00:21:00.700Now, I don't necessarily think that's a knock on the candidates.
00:21:03.580I think that there's a lot of really good candidates out there, Bernie Moreno, Carrie Lake, many others.
00:21:08.480But there's something unique to Trump where he's actually pulling ahead of the party and polling ahead of the party.
00:21:15.860Can you walk through us that dynamic in these swing states?
00:21:19.720And why is it that we see Trump so far ahead?
00:21:22.600And I'm talking, by the way, not just those two, but states like Nevada, states even like Michigan, so many more.
00:21:28.260Yeah, look, I think it's an interesting phenomenon.
00:21:32.120And I do think that Trump will finish ahead of the Senate candidates in terms of vote total and margin over the Democrat opponent in November.
00:21:43.080Trump is a uniquely popular person, right?
00:21:45.800Like, and people are voting for president.
00:21:47.660And we see this oftentimes in presidential elections.
00:21:49.900But I do think that the down ticket candidates help Trump in a large way as well, places like Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, et cetera.
00:22:05.160I think that in addition, so I call it the unholy alliance, right, like between Trump and Senate Republican candidates.
00:22:13.180What it is, is the two of them help each other in a big way.
00:22:17.100They kind of bring different voters to the table to vote for the Republican ticket up and down.
00:22:24.200And I think that while you will see Trump finish ahead of these guys in all of these places or most of these places in November, I think it'll tighten a little bit, right?
00:22:33.780Like, I think that what's going on right now is, you know, we've obviously had a couple of these primaries.
00:22:38.280We had the Ohio primary a couple weeks ago.
00:22:40.740We'll have a few more of them coming up.
00:22:42.600Some of them are already settled in that we know who the candidates is going to be.
00:22:46.140Most of them are pretty much settled, actually.
00:22:49.520So the fact is that I think that part of it is that the general elections in these Senate races haven't really kicked up yet.
00:22:56.020And as the Republican candidates get their name idea up a little bit more in a general election audience, that that will even itself out.
00:23:03.920But I do think that it's critically important for Senate Republican candidates to stick with Trump and for Trump to stick with them for both of their chances in all of these places.
00:23:15.980If you look back at 2016, there's only two battleground states where Trump lost and the Senate Republican candidate lost.
00:23:22.480It was the two states where the Republican candidates for Senate had unendorsed Trump, New Hampshire and Nevada back in 2016.
00:23:31.320So, again, what we've seen in the past here is that if they stick together, they win together.
00:23:38.540If they stick together, I think they both will do very well, both the Senate candidate and Trump in all of these battleground states.
00:23:46.640Yeah, you're right, because we're looking at places, you know, I'm looking at places like, you know, as you say, Pennsylvania, my home state.
00:23:54.240You know, that's a place where Bob Casey has just got massive name, generational name ID in Bob Casey.
00:24:01.040Whereas Dave McCormick, he ran the primary in the Senate race in 2022.
00:24:06.360He did he did well, but he ultimately was unsuccessful.
00:24:09.720Then you against Dr. Oz in that primary and then Oz went on to lose to John John Fetterman, John the Frankenstein monster up there in the Senate.
00:24:20.360But he's just not as well known as a Casey or Donald Trump.
00:24:24.740Then again, you've got you've got Hovde in Wisconsin, which is another state.
00:24:29.640He's close, though. Rogers in Michigan.
00:24:31.900I'll tell you what, though, which when you're look when we're talking about the Senate writ large, walk us through some of Matt Boyle's Senate map for the Republicans.
00:24:42.040Where do you see the challenges? Where do you see the best opportunities?
00:24:45.860Yeah, well, look, the Republicans need to really aggressively over the next few months here, go on offense in places like Ohio and Montana in particular.
00:24:54.660They've got West Virginia pretty much locked up, assuming Jim Justice, the governor there, wins the nomination, which I believe he will.
00:25:02.600He's the Trump back candidate and Manchin's not running for reelection.
00:25:06.040So that that one's going to be a Republican flip.
00:25:08.460So then Ohio and Montana, if they can put those in the R column by, you know, the middle of the summer.
00:25:15.700Right. Like where Sherry Brown and John Tester are pulling terribly, then I think that that's when you really start trying to run up the score in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada.
00:25:30.560Republicans have a real historic opportunity here.
00:25:33.760They have to flip a net two seats or one plus the White House.
00:25:37.240They've already got one to get the majority back in the Senate.
00:25:42.040But not only can they get the majority in November in the Senate, they can build a really big majority.
00:25:47.180Right. Like if they win all those states I just laid out for you.
00:25:49.640And there's a few other ones out there that could be surprises if it's a big night for the Republicans on election night, places like Minnesota or New Mexico, possibly New Jersey.
00:25:58.620Right. But depending on what Menendez does in terms of whether he runs as an independent or not.
00:26:04.180So, you know, Republicans could get into the mid to high 50s, perhaps even as high as 60 if it's a real perfect night for Republicans.
00:26:12.020I don't think they'll go that high. But if they can get to 55, this country is a very different place with 55 Republican senators versus 49 Republican senators.
00:26:21.200I mean, 55 Republican senators, that's a place where we can actually get back to totally dismantling so many things that the Democrats and really the left have done because there's an interesting there's an interesting thought that so much of American power today.
00:26:39.980And I'm talking not even externally, but internally, domestically, that American sovereignty is really found in the bureaucracy and in the judiciary.
00:26:50.260And so these are the two places that and, you know, you've got people like Chris Ruffo and others out there that have been targeting the bureaucracy a lot.
00:26:58.660But you're going to need a resurgence of power through any vector possible.
00:27:04.280And so to your point, if you want that kind of power over the bureaucracy, if you want the ability to start firing people left and right, you're going to need that backstop in the Senate.
00:27:12.200You're going to need the right. President Trump's got to have the right kind of cabinet, which is the leader of those bureaucracies of the independent agencies and the other cabinet positions that run the departments.
00:27:22.900This is what you need. You need people that are going to be hardline that can get in there and do things, which to your point, right?
00:27:29.680Fifty five senators. Imagine what kind of AG you get out of that. Imagine what kind of the part of Secretary of Homeland Security.
00:27:35.340Imagine what kind of Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State. This is how you actually get that is by winning the Senate.
00:27:41.240And the House, too. You need the House as well. And the House is a little bit tougher for the Republicans this year, just given the fact that they've got a slim majority right now.
00:27:48.700They're walking through the House on this. Yeah, they're kind of on this high wire act all the way to November.
00:27:54.600That being said, there are some analysts out there that are saying that things look actually a lot better for Republicans on the House side than the national prognosticators would have you believe.
00:28:04.860And it's one of the things I'm kind of working on right now and I'm trying to get a broader sense of.
00:28:10.720And we'll try to drill down into each district and get a better sense of it.
00:28:15.380But it looks like things might be a little bit better for the Republicans than the, you know, the national media would have you believe on that regard.
00:28:23.640That being said, it's going to hew very closely to the presidential election.
00:28:28.320But, you know, if you want to actually go after, you know, this bureaucracy that you're talking about, if you want to actually change the way Washington works,
00:28:37.140you really need the numbers in Congress, right? Like and if you along with the president administration that are willing to do it.
00:28:44.860And I think that it's critically important that they get the Republicans get that number as high as possible in the Senate and try to expand their House majority as well as taking back the White House.
00:28:55.140And this is key. So when when it comes to the House, what can Republicans in the House do?
00:29:02.660Should they essentially should they make a district races or should they nationalize the races and really just get behind Trump as a unified front?
00:29:10.920I think it's a little bit different in the House than the Senate. The Senate, those are statewide races, right?
00:29:16.140Like the House, sometimes you can you run on a national nationalized race.
00:29:21.960Other times you you you that, you know, there's specific districts out there that are a little bit tougher and whatnot.
00:29:29.460So it just kind of depends. The House is a little bit of a different, trickier, trickier place in the Senate.
00:29:38.640Amen. Matt Boyle, tell people what you're working on, where people can follow you, where people can get your info.
00:29:44.140Yeah, just go to Breitbart dot com or I'm on true social to I have real Matt Boyle working on all sorts of different exciting things.
00:29:51.900So just follow along on Breitbart. We'll have plenty of stories over the next, you know, several weeks.
00:29:58.220All right, Matt Boyle, the people in D.C. are scared of Boyle because they know this guy is just as sourced on the left side of the aisle as he is on the right side.
00:30:08.560That's why when he posts something, doesn't matter how long it is.
00:30:12.880And let me tell you, sometimes Matt's articles get a little long, five thousand words, six thousand words.
00:30:18.320It doesn't matter. People are going to be reading it because they're a tour de force.
00:30:22.740And everybody knows that every word of what he puts out is one hundred percent true.
