00:00:55.320Shocking details out of the Chicago area. A judge says they have lost track of hundreds of people who were placed on ankle monitors, all while facing pending criminal cases. The total number now thought to be at nearly 250 people.
00:01:12.260More than a dozen people are facing charges tonight in connection with the Human Trafficking and Drug Distribution Ring operating in Central and South Jersey.
00:01:22.120This ring was operating in these areas you see highlighted here, Burlington, Camden, Ocean, and Middlesex counties.
00:01:28.740The U.S. Supreme Court vacated the Mississippi legislative redistricting case.
00:01:32.340This led to a few districts being redrawn last year.
00:01:35.620The case, sent back by the high court on Monday, has to deal with the legislative redistricting maps lawmakers passed in 2022.
00:01:43.660The Mississippi Voting Rights Act Rapid Response Coalition doesn't approve of the ruling.
00:01:48.760They say, quote, today's order is a deeply troubling abuse of judicial power, end quote.
00:01:54.680State Senator Tyler McCann says the ruling by the Supreme Court that race can't be used as a deciding factor when drawing maps is the rule of laws.
00:02:04.280Congressman Thomas Massey lost his GOP primary in Kentucky to former Navy SEAL Ed Galrine,
00:02:11.220a candidate very aggressively backed by the president.
00:02:13.820More than $32 million was spent on this primary by groups aligned with the president,
00:02:19.080but also organizations that support Israel have been trying to defeat the congressman for years
00:02:24.000because of his opposition to aid to Israel.
00:02:26.420But ultimately, this contest is just the latest reminder.
00:02:28.920If you're a Republican who crosses President Trump, you will pay the political consequences.
00:02:34.440I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede,
00:02:39.400and it took a while to find Ed Galrine in Tel Aviv.
00:02:42.580Thomas Massey was ousted in Kentucky, losing to President Donald Trump-backed challenger Ed Galrine.
00:02:48.080It was a test on Trump's hold of the Republican Party, similar to Louisiana's primary,
00:02:52.720where Trump's candidate also came out on top.
00:02:55.040Also in Kentucky, Representative Andy Barr won his primary bid to succeed retiring Senator Mitch McConnell.
00:03:01.640Barr secured Trump's endorsement to defeat Nate Morris, a pro-Trump businessman who won the last political endorsement of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk before he was killed in September.
00:03:11.700Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live on Real America's Voice.
00:03:22.200So everybody's talking about Kentucky 4.
00:03:25.040thomas massey race thomas massey it's primaried thomas massey loses loses by i think it's like
00:03:32.200what 10 11 points big big swing and a lot of people are trying to talk about all of
00:03:40.220the different things that went into this primary people are talking about the influence of apac
00:03:47.300and the influence of foreign interests in our elections people are talking about whether or
00:03:53.780not any Arab nations played a role in this. People are talking about Jewish donors. People
00:03:59.840are talking about Muslim donors. People are talking about all sorts of things when it comes
00:04:06.000to this race. But here's something that I want to caution everybody on, because I see a lot of1.00
00:04:11.420people extrapolating so much from this, but not actually understanding what's going on under the
00:04:18.540hood. Congressional elections are complicated business. They always are. They always will be
00:04:25.180in every congressional district. There are parochial as well as national issues. Okay.
00:04:32.900Now there's no question, all right. There's no question at all that president Trump's
00:04:39.100endorsement of Ed Gowrain and AV seal was a huge influence. President Trump. And I tweeted this
00:04:46.940President Trump is solidly the leader of the Republican Party, and the last few weeks have absolutely determined that as if you didn't already know.
00:04:57.880Okay, it's just a case you didn't know that the big dog in the Republican Party is Donald J. Trump, just in case you weren't sure.
00:05:06.440But here's something that I do see a lot of people saying and one analysis or one hot take going on that I think we need to be careful with.
00:05:18.820Because people are saying, oh, X isn't real life and Twitter isn't real life.
00:10:42.340At a minimum, if we do it now, we can pass the Save America Act and help secure the 2028 election.
00:10:48.080Probably pretty late in the game for 2026 to have much of an impact.
00:10:51.700But again, you just have to recognize that reality.
00:10:54.220The analogy I used in another program is, let's say you're sitting around a table and there's a murderer on the other side of that table.
00:11:00.680And there's a gun right there. Now, you certainly don't want to push that gun to that murder, but you better take it yourself to defend yourself, right? And that's kind of, we're at the end stage here. This is a moment of truth. This is not the Democrat Party of our parents and grandparents. JFK would probably be the most conservative member of the Republican Senate Conference today.
00:11:21.320This is a bunch of radical leftists. They want to impose radical leftism, socialism on this country, and we know it destroys nations, civilizations.
00:11:32.340I mean, it's destructive, but that's what Democrats want to do, and they are absolutely determined to do it.
00:11:37.920They treat politics as a blood sport. They do not recognize any rules.
00:11:42.820They'll change whatever rule they need to change for them to acquire and maintain power.
00:11:47.800Well, Senator, I mean, to your point, one need look no further from Washington, D.C.,
00:11:55.520then down to Richmond, Virginia, that the minute the Democrats took power there in the governor's
00:12:02.440mansion, as well as the statehouse, they immediately cast off any of these notions of
00:12:10.740moderation or people are joking. Oh, thank goodness, Spanberger's a moderate. Could you
00:12:16.460imagine if she were governing as a radical. No, they were throwing out all sorts of legislation.1.00
00:12:21.840They were practically banning guns. And oh, by the way, they tried to redistrict the entire state
00:12:28.480with, by the way, the full force of President Barack Obama, the the titular leader of the
00:12:33.760Democrat Party going all in on this. They were trying to redistrict all of Virginia so that
00:12:39.220northern Virginia would control every congressional district of the majority of congressional districts
00:12:44.160in the state. That's how they play ball. Well, Jack, here's a newsflash. Democrats lie.0.57
00:12:51.300They are enormous hypocrites, but they have the mainstream media in their back pocket.1.00
00:12:56.220They're never held accountable. So they can just lie and be hypocrites with impunity. Again,1.00
00:13:01.000I'm not saying some Republicans aren't hypocrites or some don't, but nothing to the extent of what0.83
00:13:06.140Democrats get away with. They do it with impunity. So they do it all the time. So it doesn't surprise0.91
00:13:11.780me when somebody runs as a moderate, they all run as moderates, but then they govern
00:13:15.880as the radical leftists they are. Or they certainly vote with the radical leftists
00:13:20.100that propose the legislation they support.
00:13:24.160And so if that's the case, and we've heard
00:13:27.340Democrats like AOC and others go through this laundry list, as you say,
00:13:32.320of trying to pack the court, being willing to get rid of the filibuster,
00:13:36.420being willing to make Puerto Rico a state, which we know would be
00:13:39.860Democrat state, that's two senators, that's a governor, that's a congressman, and, you know,
00:13:45.480potentially, I guess, three electoral votes that would go to the Democrats. Then if, as Republicans,
00:13:50.940what's the best way to respond while you have the chance? And the filibuster, which is what I've
00:13:57.900been pushing. Again, the reluctance on the part of many of my colleagues, again, they're engaged
00:14:01.420in wishful thinking. They don't want to be accused of destroying the Senate, turning into the House.
00:14:06.480Again, they've got this, you know, fantasized version of the greatest deliverer of body.
00:14:40.580You know, it's not going to be end the world.
00:14:42.700There's not one state that requires a super majority vote to pass all legislation.
00:14:47.660There are some super majority votes required to pass increased taxes, which is a good idea.
00:14:52.860But otherwise, states function that way.
00:14:54.980The difference between the states and D.C., though, is states by and large have to balance their budget.
00:14:59.880That's the real problem with the federal government is we don't.
00:15:02.420And so we've got a bunch of people here whistling by the graveyard, doing bipartisan deals on appropriation bills, spending money we can't afford.
00:15:11.220And then when they do those bipartisan, and they're all proud of it, by the way.
00:15:14.760I mean, you have to be inside the conference.
00:15:21.860But they forge those relationships, and then they actually believe the Democrats who lie to their face.
00:15:27.62035 Democrats signed a letter with Susan Collins a couple of years before they voted to end the
00:15:32.560filibuster, pledging not to end the filibuster. 35 of them, then basically all did it. And now
00:15:38.600the ones, again, they're just playing my colleagues for fools. If there's, oh, we regret that. Well,0.97
00:15:44.280we're not going to vote to end the filibuster. Yes, you will. You will absolutely vote to end
00:15:47.960the filibuster because you want to acquire and maintain that power and turn America into one
00:15:52.780Party nation. That's their goal. It's been the goal from the very start. And we've heard the
00:16:00.340president say in public and in private many, many times that it's time to just start fighting with
00:16:05.820fire with fire. And again, what I suggested to President Trump when he first proposed that,
00:16:11.260and I agreed with him immediately to end the filibuster, I said, Mr. President,
00:16:14.840you have to lay out the important piece of legislation that have 70, 80 percent of support
00:16:20.180of the American public that we know we can pass with slender majorities. He ended up with about
00:16:25.080a laundry list of about 30 things. And again, that was months and months and months ago.
00:16:30.460We're pretty late in the game here. It's not too late to pass the Save America Act,
00:16:34.560again, to help secure the 2028 election. I don't know how much impact it'll have on 2026. Again,
00:16:40.100it's getting late in the game. But if you want some hope here, we didn't have, at the end of
00:16:45.640last year. We did not have the votes and the 60-vote threshold of nominations. It was only
00:16:50.940because Democrats were so obnoxiously obstructionist. President Trump was going to
00:16:56.340probably get less than 500 of his nominees confirmed when generally presidents get about
00:17:02.8401,100 confirmations in their first Congress. He wasn't even going to get 500. So Democrats were
00:17:08.900so obnoxious, all of a sudden, all 53 Republicans who, again, the same group, were very reluctant
00:17:14.760to do it. They all voted to end the 60 vote threshold nomination. So I'm not saying it's
00:17:19.520impossible, but we're going to need a far more concerted and far more strategic and a much
00:17:25.640better sales job on the part of the president to end the filibuster.
00:17:31.860No, I think that makes sense because you're right. When you talk to, I think, the average
00:17:36.860American out there, you say, oh, what's the filibuster's problem? And they view that almost
00:17:41.400as you know as the senators kind of uh or just politicians in general sort of shirking their
00:17:46.760duties so what do you mean the filibuster i elected you to go do stuff go do it and by the way that's
00:17:51.400so the filibuster if you just understand it's it wasn't part of our constitution it was passed in
00:17:57.300i think 1917 it was only used five times you know a supermajority threshold was only used five times
00:18:03.760in the first 50 years what's happened is it's evolved and just basically ending debate you
00:18:09.080don't even engage in it. It protects senators from taking tough votes. And so that's why I said at a
00:18:14.260minimum, what I would call him Leader Thunton, again, it's not his fault that he doesn't have
00:18:18.080the support to end it, but at a minimum, he should call a vote on a rule change. That'd be at a 67
00:18:24.200vote supermajority. That's how you change the rules in normal procedures and at least get the
00:18:30.500Democrats on record. Now, will they honor that when they get a chance? I don't think so.
00:18:35.380But at a minimum, do that, you know, put your vote.
00:18:39.180And we always get told here, you know, it's part of our job is to take tough votes.
00:18:42.720And then both sides shield their members from tough votes all the time.
00:18:47.360And that's really what the filibuster has been used for is now we're just all shielded from taking tough votes, from actually being that deliberative body.
00:18:55.200Where you put a piece of legislation on the floor and then actually vote out amendments.
00:18:59.820Try and improve the piece of legislation.
00:20:56.400make the switch today. Senator Johnson, I want to get your thoughts on as well. Of course,
00:21:03.100all of D.C., all of the political world is abuzz regarding this race down in Kentucky.
00:21:10.960Thomas Massey, another incumbent. We've seen a number of incumbents, you know, either lose
00:21:16.080their primaries like your colleague, Senator Cassidy, this issue with John Cornyn now in Texas
00:21:22.060going to the runoff, but President Trump endorsing against him. Now we have President Trump endorsing
00:21:27.980against an incumbent who has lost his race down in Kentucky. I've argued that it's a lot more
00:21:34.400complicated than I think a lot of people are giving it credit for. But at the same time,
00:21:39.560it's also pretty simple in terms of the president's popularity and the president's
00:21:44.640influence within the Republican Party. I wanted to get your take on that as well.
00:21:47.580Well, again, each one of these races is different. I mean, each one does indicate the kind of control that President Trump has over his base and can turn them out. But I agree with you. I listened to your opening there on the Kentucky race with Thomas Massey.
00:22:02.040What I would caution the White House and his political advisors to recognize is 45 percent of hard Republicans, people who really support us, who voted for President Trump, 45 percent of them didn't listen to President Trump's endorsement.
00:22:20.040And let's face it, I think I'm Tea Party more than a Republican, truthfully.
00:22:24.780There's a pretty strong libertarian streak in most conservatives and many Republicans.
00:22:54.800You have to look at these things not in such a simplistic manner.
00:22:59.500No, I think that's exactly right, because when when you look at people want to extrapolate so many things from this.
00:23:06.800But again, it's it's a Republican closed primary. I'm from Pennsylvania, also closed primary state.
00:23:12.740And so people, I think, can take a message from a primary race, especially in a closed primary, but then miss the fact that there are so many independents out there that really will shift things in terms of a general.
00:23:26.260I know Kentucky is a state like this. I know Wisconsin is a state like that. Most of the
00:23:29.860Rust Belt states, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, are all like that. And so I would
00:23:35.000just caution anyone, the White House or media, whoever it is, to really look under the hood
00:23:40.160and understand the dynamics here. Well, remember, when you defeat somebody like Thomas Massey,
00:23:45.120who had 45 percent support, again, you don't want to diss those people. You want them to come out
00:23:52.020back out and unify and get behind the eventual candidates. So again, you need to be gracious
00:23:57.080in victory. You need to recognize the people that voted against whoever you were supporting
00:24:02.420or whatever your position was, you know, particularly in primary, you've got to get
00:24:06.240those people back on your side. So yeah, I mean, there's no doubt about it. President Trump is
00:24:10.900certainly showing, you know, his influence over our party. But when you take a look at how Tucker
00:24:16.980has turned on and other people, I mean, there are people with legitimate concerns about what's
00:24:21.340happening to Iran. I fully support what President Trump's doing. I view Iran as an existential
00:24:26.000threat. There's a big chunk of our party who is not particularly happy with that. You know,
00:24:30.320there's an even bigger chunk that is really concerned about gasoline prices. I do hour-long
00:24:35.660telephone town halls every week. Three-quarters of those things is talking about gas prices.
00:24:41.600Okay, those are realities that you cannot dismiss. But by the way, same thing after the 2020 election
00:24:48.840In our Republican conference, after President Trump lost, I cautioned my colleagues, I said, be very careful.
00:24:56.960Do not diss the people or the person that President Trump supporters, they love this guy.
00:25:05.540Don't be dissing the guy that they love.
00:25:08.120That's not a very smart thing politically.
00:25:10.900And I think that's what got an awful lot of people in trouble.
00:25:14.080and i i think that's exactly i think that's exactly correct and it's it's a story of
00:25:21.860competing influences president trump has the biggest influence in the republican party there's
00:25:26.860no question about that there's no there's there's no debate about that and certainly after the past
00:25:32.160couple of weeks i i would caution anyone who thinks that that is a uh uh that thinks that
00:25:38.320that's a viable path i mean certainly you would disagree on on issue to issue there's no question
00:25:42.820about that. But when it comes to this outwardly trying to run, you know, run against him, I don't
00:25:47.240think it works. But when people are looking forward to the general elections of this year,
00:25:52.340when people are looking forward to the general election, move to the country, when it comes
00:25:55.360to 2028, I do think we have to put more of, you know, more of the complicated nuance into the
00:26:02.400equation. We need to unify as a party, as a movement against the people who are trying to
00:26:08.800this country. We're not the enemies. I mean, I don't care who just got to feed in what election.
00:26:15.500Those individuals are not the enemies, the Democrats. The radical left are destroying
00:26:20.680this country. So again, we are excellent at engaging circular firing squads and eating our
00:26:27.780own. We need to focus on the real perpetrators of the damage being done to this country. I mean,
00:26:33.700we're just trying to clean up their messes. And then we argue over, you know, we haven't
00:26:37.120clean it up fast enough i mean all these messes that president trump is trying to clean up those
00:26:42.320are all created by democrats and then they when we infight when we engage in circular firing squads
00:26:48.020we let them off the hook they sit there and start blaming high prices on us you know no it's it's
00:26:54.500their 40-year high inflation it's their weakness that forced president trump to act while we still
00:26:59.080could act so again anybody who's part of the conservative movement republican whatever we're
00:27:04.740bunch of entrepreneurs we have different ideas we have different priorities our top priority
00:27:10.660that's unified all of us is they they want to turn this into one-party nation they will destroy this
00:27:14.980nation they are destroying this nation they are destroying this nation this is a moment of truth
00:27:20.180we need to stop them senator ron johnson thank you very much we're honored always to have you
00:27:25.300here on the program right back with Tyler Boyer and Jack where is Jack where is Jack where is he
00:27:37.060Jack I want to see you great job Jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible
00:27:45.620thing we're always talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the
00:29:57.000Yeah, I mean, at this point, Jack, I think the numbers are running.
00:30:00.280like one out of every 4 500 people in the city of washington are likely to be murderers at this
00:30:08.600point and so there's definitely something weird going on i mean this is not just not just general
00:30:16.920crime like actual targeted killings like this murder specifically uh trans induced murder
00:30:26.180so i mean look i mean this is open up the conversation in utah where you know a lot
00:30:34.120of people are starting to have that conversation of how soft has the lds community got specifically
00:30:40.680on the trans issue where it's actually enabled violence uh in the community i mean watch it
00:30:48.660let's be like super clear washington is not a huge community it's it's a relatively small community
00:30:55.060uh yeah i think it's something less than 20 000 people somewhere in that ballpark it's at best
00:31:02.300suburban um you know a very suburban quiet community very religious again in in the utah
00:31:09.580hemisphere and you're seeing this type of radical violence uh come up and and there's causes for
00:31:19.440this and so the conversation really has to be is like what's causing this who's not stopping this
00:31:25.460what what is not being done in the community and is this happening in other places that you know
00:31:32.060where there's unsuspecting good people with you know violent criminals being harbored you know
00:31:39.580next door to you i remember there was something that you told me once when we were chatting about
00:31:47.660this, uh, the, you know, the other incident and you, you know, I was talking about how does someone
00:31:54.260from seemingly a conservative LDS family, gun owners, um, uh, seem very, yeah, very, very tight
00:32:04.060knit communities seem like, uh, you know, good parents. Uh, and, and, and again, in this situation,
00:32:08.560you, you see that as well. And you told me something that when some people leave LDS,
00:32:12.580they kind of run in the other direction um do you do you think that that could be one of the
00:32:18.960dynamics that we're starting to see yeah i mean we've seen this not just in the lds faith but in
00:32:24.740many others is that when you're from a very orthodox community whether it's an orthodox
00:32:29.740evangelical community orthodox catholics catholic community you know an lds community there's
00:32:37.060societal pressure that's there. And so I think the mistake that can happen is when you coddle
00:32:43.240people who are mentally ill too much and you say, oh, no, it's OK. And you start creating
00:32:50.320programmatic ways that they can live and become, again, radicalized and really have vile rhetoric
00:33:00.160against the people that they grew up around and that that love them that you know that raised them
00:33:07.120even even you know they don't clearly don't agree ideologically with those people anymore
00:33:12.600sometimes it can turn into this which is people who become so angry and they have the freedom
00:33:20.200to essentially mow down people that they love individuals that they believe are the the root
00:33:29.320cause of their pain, which of course we know that's not the case. And so for these individuals,
00:33:36.180I think the mistake that's being made in these communities is again, that the community is going
00:33:42.740way too soft and not taking the type of action that's necessary for people who are deranged and
00:33:49.900mentally ill and not catching the signs of those things as they're culminating. And some of this
00:33:56.160is you know just being ignorant of of ignoring the facts that are in front of your face i think
00:34:02.840some of this is is societal where it's the community is is driving this community think of
00:34:08.540you know this this is very similar to white guilt as people have this are made to believe that they
00:34:14.440have this this lgbtq or trans guilt where it's like oh well you know again we we cause these
00:34:22.080problems and so therefore we should allow them to do whatever they want to do you know as
00:34:27.060retribution for their feelings so they can go out and you know and there's a lot of connections here
00:34:32.880to what we saw and just a few few years ago you know with the summer of love where people you know
00:34:39.480in white guilt just were like oh we have to let people just riot and loot and destroy our cities
00:34:44.560because you know it's really our fault and there's unfortunately some people who feel this very same
00:34:50.820way especially in the wake of these murders of saying oh well you know it's not totally their
00:34:56.740fault no that's it's it is totally being an independent individual who's making these
00:35:03.200decisions and killing people and it should be addressed and should be figured out how to how
00:35:08.400to prevent these things and not not yeah set to the side and and okayed and and have eyes just
00:35:15.360batted like oh well this is a community problem that's not a community problem this is
00:35:20.480this is a very much an ideological radicalism problem that's happening in your own community
00:35:27.620just all around 100 and and in fact i if um if i understand correctly i believe the blaze
00:35:34.880or are some folks at the blaze are actually trying this is something i'm i'm going to pick
00:35:39.020up as well um are actually trying to dig into the schools there so to try to determine whether
00:35:44.900or not these two individuals went to the same school system? And if so, what sort of things,
00:35:51.180grade school, elementary school, high school, were they being presented from those schools
00:35:57.220that had to do with this very issue? Were those things being presented at an early age? Because
00:36:03.600guess what? We've seen that all over the country in a variety of districts. And typically, yeah,
00:36:10.080You wouldn't, you certainly, I wouldn't associate that with Utah, but to your point, they are infiltrating schools all over the place with this radicalism.
00:36:20.300I mean, the terrifying part is, you know, after this, after, you know, this person committed these violent acts, you know, the news and the local media, we're still referring to him as a, as a woman.
00:36:32.320um we're still you know more concerned about you know clearly his feelings and the trans
00:36:40.040community's feelings than the act that that was committed um and again this is this is in recent
00:36:47.180reporting the last number of days this is following the the murder of charlie and so
00:36:52.720there's a real problem here that needs to be addressed and again i don't want to target
00:36:59.220washington alone because it's not just this isn't a problem this is a problem that's happened in
00:37:04.760washington but it's it's clearly happening in a lot of places where to your point there can be
00:37:11.420one bad apple of of a handful of of people a network potentially of people who are enabling
00:37:19.620this type of behavior um it doesn't take very many bad people uh to motivate other bad people
00:37:26.760And you mentioned this, they're both, you know, they're not the exact same age, but they're in a similar age category here. They're not that far apart. And so, you know, that type of thing needs to be figured out because that can become a case study and also something that people look for or watch for or correct in other school systems or, you know, in other communities, wherever that may have stemmed from to prevent future violence from radicalists that have been
00:37:56.760so radicalized in this trans ideology that we've seen that very clear or hopefully hopefully you
00:38:04.820know you create a system of indicators where schools or counselors or faith leaders whoever
00:38:10.880it is parents you know when they see these indicators pop up that someone is on one of
00:38:16.280those paths that you can intervene and get them off that path before it ends up turning into
00:38:23.140something like this long before. Again, this is about preventative measures. Right back,
00:38:28.680Jack Posobiec. So we're going to call this the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour. I can say
00:38:34.620confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it
00:38:38.920wasn't for Jack Posobiec. And that is, I'm going to be honest.
00:38:42.120i have human events daily we're on with tyler boyer the coo of turning point action and
00:38:54.500teller i gotta say you know i'd be remiss if i didn't have you on this week and talk about all
00:38:58.540the incredible successes of turning point action not just in the last uh 24 48 hours but really
00:39:06.580the past couple of weeks when you look at what's happened in Louisiana, what's happened in Indiana,
00:39:12.840and then, of course, the state of Texas with Ken Paxton. Talk us through how you're looking at
00:39:19.920things shaping out as we're moving, and the redistricting, and how we're moving towards
00:39:23.760November. Yeah, I mean, Jack, things are going very, very well. We were pleased to be one of
00:39:30.540the first national organizations to endorse ken paxton in his race uh got some grief from that
00:39:36.620uh from a lot of established cronies and uh it paid off dividends because you know we believed
00:39:45.800in ken from day one he's he's a good man he's uh been a friend to the organization for some time
00:39:51.980and conservatives in texas are tired of you know this bush era weak need give up before you get
00:40:00.280started type politics in texas and more importantly at the national level you need guys like ken
00:40:06.260paxton who are actually going to fight uh to be in the u.s senate and it wasn't just ken that won
00:40:13.840big yesterday with the president's announcement which we're so glad it's better late than never
00:40:18.560but incredibly grateful to the president uh for making that because there was a ton of pressure
00:40:23.600being put on him to endorse cornyn all the way especially when cornyn you know kept it competitive
00:40:29.400in the first first election before the runoff. But in Georgia yesterday, we saw a huge day
00:40:35.620again for another U.S. Senate candidate, Mike Collins. Mike has not been endorsed by the
00:40:41.320president yet. I think I think there's a good chance that he will be in the runoff. But he
00:40:46.640was endorsed early by Turning Point Action. Our team in Georgia has been helping him. We've been
00:40:52.340helping the Trump endorsed candidate for for Governor Burt Jones, who is a great conservative
00:40:57.300as well they both had great days they weren't able to break the 50 threshold but they're well
00:41:03.180on their way uh for the runoff in georgia huge huge huge days uh for the team and you mentioned
00:41:11.540louisiana huge to knock out a massive rhino out of the u.s senate so i mean you we are trending
00:41:18.980towards a possibility here of having you know basically a plus three where you have kind of
00:41:26.460a waffly uh terrible situation either democrats or democrat light uh in the u.s senate uh that is
00:41:34.540a huge huge culture shift uh in the republican conference if if if we can be if we can get get
00:41:41.300the job done this november no i think that's right and and certainly look you know the democrats if
00:41:47.100they you know if and if they want to put money chasing ken paxton texas then guess what that's
00:41:52.660money that they're not going to have to spend in Georgia, in Maine, in North Carolina, et cetera,
00:42:00.020et cetera, Michigan, you know, all these other places. So I keep hearing these people saying,
00:42:03.860oh, well, you know, now we have to fight harder. We have to spend money in Texas,
00:42:07.360but actually they do as well. So if, you know, that's, that's the nature of competitive races,
00:42:11.980go ask Kentucky for about that, right? Last night about how that money works in elections. So
00:42:16.560the, the idea, you know, I think is kind of silly and plus James Tallarico just is not
00:42:21.040a strong candidate. I think everybody realizes that who's looking at the race. But, you know,
00:42:26.140actually, Tyler, one of the things that I wanted to touch on you is when you look at,
00:42:30.500we're basically seeing two sitting senators getting primaried in the same year on the
00:42:35.040Republican side. We've also seen President Trump express his frustration with the Senate leadership,
00:42:41.360with the Senate conference. You know, just looking at the tea leaves, not asking you to weigh in,
00:42:45.960But do you think, as I've said on this program, that John Thune may not be long for the Senate majority position?
