00:02:03.840 You're in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd.

00:02:07.940 Hey there, Cat.

00:02:08.700 How are you?

00:02:09.880 Hey, hey, hey.

00:02:10.820 What's happening today?

00:02:12.720 Feels like Tuesday, don't it?

00:02:14.140 Sure does.

00:02:14.940 Actually.

00:02:15.240 That Monday holiday always screws with you the rest of the week.

00:02:17.800 You think Wednesday's Tuesday, Thursday's Wednesday.

00:02:22.120 Well, I named the show.

00:02:23.460 It was really funny.

00:02:24.340 I had it as my placeholder as Monday, and they're like, I had so many litter mates that said,

00:02:28.360 well, okay, if you want it to be Monday, fine.

00:02:30.380 We'll act like it's Monday for you.

00:02:32.120 I'm going, okay, this is what I mean.

00:02:33.860 This is why I don't like breaks, because then I come back all rusty, and I have to relearn

00:02:38.720 everything.

00:02:39.480 So yes, but it is Wednesday.

00:02:42.640 We actually got to buy a day.

00:02:44.600 So it's going to be a shorter week this week, which is great, but we have got a huge guest

00:02:49.320 that is going to join us in about 30 minutes.

00:02:52.620 So excited.

00:02:54.260 The Persistence.

00:02:55.540 Scott Pressler is going to be in the litter box with us today.

00:03:01.000 Cannot wait.

00:03:02.060 Huge.

00:03:02.580 Huge politically and huge physically.

00:03:04.500 He's like 6'8 or something.

00:03:06.140 Oh my gosh.

00:03:07.260 I am so excited to talk to Scott.

00:03:11.240 I really have been looking forward to this one for a long, long time.

00:03:15.880 We love Scott.

00:03:16.920 Yes.

00:03:17.640 He is really sweet.

00:03:19.220 We kind of all grew up together on Twitter, and our accounts kind of rose together at the

00:03:22.920 same time.

00:03:23.960 Oh.

00:03:24.640 I mean, he's just really just such a patriot out there, willing to roll up his sleeves,

00:03:29.740 get the hard work done.

00:03:30.680 And you know what?

00:03:31.480 He's going to be in L.A. this weekend, which is really cool.

00:03:34.760 Oh, Lord.

00:03:35.560 Lower Alabama?

00:03:36.660 I'll go see him.

00:03:37.540 That's close to me.

00:03:38.240 No, Los Angeles.

00:03:42.920 I know you would prefer it be the other way around.

00:03:47.420 But it's going to be a great, great time.

00:03:50.460 And so I cannot wait to hear what kind of projects he has in the works.

00:03:54.020 He really does.

00:03:55.080 He fights with everything that he's got.

00:03:57.540 So we're going to have a real warrior on the show today, and we're going to have time

00:04:02.340 to ask him some questions, find out how we can organize and what to do in order to

00:04:07.520 be prepared for what's ahead.

00:04:09.380 I mean, you know, it's something else.

00:04:11.540 We've got a lot of things that are coming down the pipe, and the Republicans are continuing

00:04:17.540 to disappoint us at every single turn.

00:04:20.620 Give us a reason, Republicans, to continue to vote for you and to keep on with this party.

00:04:26.440 This whole debt ceiling situation.

00:04:28.900 And then, miraculously, they decide they're going to release the January 6 footage.

00:04:36.020 I mean, if you questioned the debt deal before, now really question it.

00:04:39.920 How bad is that deal, right?

00:04:43.220 Well, they're not releasing it to the public.

00:04:45.640 They lied again. 0.85

00:04:46.740 I just got on Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's, by the way, voting yes on this ridiculous package. 0.81

00:04:51.400 I don't know what her and McCarthy's got going, but I don't like it, whatever it is.

00:04:57.080 I saw your tweet here.

00:04:58.880 Again, the promise was to release it to the public.

00:05:01.940 Releasing it to three members of the press is a million miles away from that.

00:05:07.020 And this is being released today to soften the blow of McCarthy caving and screwing us again.

00:05:14.060 Tired of these games.

00:05:16.340 It's it. 1.00

00:05:17.060 I mean, they think they can fool us like we're idiots. 1.00

00:05:20.280 It's like, oh, and here they are behind the scenes. 1.00

00:05:22.880 Oh, my God, we're taking a beating.

00:05:24.520 We're taking a beating.

00:05:25.300 Well, here's what you do.

00:05:26.460 We'll release the January 6.

00:05:28.000 That's the one thing they hate that you promised.

00:05:30.880 But just don't release it to them, you know.

00:05:32.600 They might find something.

00:05:33.680 Release it to three, two members of the press that we pick out and that we, you know, I like Julie Kelly.

00:05:40.220 I like John Solomon, too.

00:05:42.260 They seem to be trustworthy people.

00:05:44.100 But they're not.

00:05:46.140 They're two eyes and they're two.

00:05:48.080 Why do they get it?

00:05:49.180 Why do they get it?

00:05:49.780 It belongs to us, the people.

00:05:51.840 It does.

00:05:52.160 Why do they get it?

00:05:52.840 Why does the press get it?

00:05:54.580 Why?

00:05:55.260 These layers.

00:05:55.780 We can do it just like Elon Musk is the only one that does it.

00:05:59.480 You put it in a file and you release it to everybody.

00:06:04.060 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:06:05.440 What about transparency?

00:06:06.720 I mean, isn't that what everybody always brags about?

00:06:08.860 That's what he promised.

00:06:09.880 It will be released to the public.

00:06:11.420 It never comes to fruition, does it?

00:06:13.300 I don't know who they're in bone tone.

00:06:16.820 I don't know who their team is.

00:06:19.680 I don't know who John Solomon's team, Julie, either.

00:06:21.600 I like them.

00:06:22.540 I'm not going to say.

00:06:23.300 I like the ones they released it to.

00:06:26.360 But that wasn't the promise.

00:06:30.220 It's not it.

00:06:31.240 It was promised to be released to 350 million people.

00:06:36.500 They released it to three people.

00:06:38.680 That's how far off it is.

00:06:40.460 Exactly.

00:06:41.220 I just break it down to you in the easiest way I can explain it.

00:06:45.020 Exactly.

00:06:45.700 And they're doing it today to soften the blow. 0.98

00:06:48.520 They're doing it right before they vote on this ridiculous package to screw us all, to try to throw your red meat, to try to get off their back. 0.97

00:06:55.820 It's just games. 0.97

00:06:56.960 It's games.

00:06:57.820 You know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you don't play games.

00:06:59.800 She didn't until this, whatever's happening with McCarthy.

00:07:04.260 But, you know, this is just, this is political games.

00:07:07.140 I tried to tell everybody that got excited when they were saying, hey, we got it.

00:07:11.060 We got to get McCarthy in there so we can vote on the 87,000 agents.

00:07:14.360 We're going to get rid of them 87,000 agents.

00:07:16.060 And everybody's like, I had people tweeting me that I thought knew about politics.

00:07:19.820 Hey, if they just need to get somebody in there so we can get rid of these IRS agents, I'm like, that was an actual bill signed by both the Senate and the House and the President.

00:07:30.740 It's got to go through the whole process to change it again, and it's never going to make it.

00:07:34.200 That's just baloney.

00:07:36.140 That's right.

00:07:37.780 It really is.

00:07:38.860 And it is definitely a distraction because all of a sudden there is talk about vacating the chair with Kevin McCarthy, and they don't want to get hot under the collar.

00:07:49.360 They know we are furious over this bill.

00:07:52.720 They know to such a degree that they gave Kevin McCarthy a standing ovation.

00:07:58.220 Are you kidding?

00:07:59.300 Just to add salt to the wound.

00:08:01.600 You want to talk about optics.

00:08:03.040 They knew this was bad news.

00:08:03.880 I can't with the Republican Party anymore.

00:08:05.820 I know.

00:08:06.200 I know. 0.99

00:08:06.860 I don't know if there's one up there that's not even a damn liar anymore. 0.99

00:08:10.660 I really don't. 0.99

00:08:11.900 It's pretty bad.

00:08:12.660 I don't know what it is.

00:08:13.680 You can take an old country electrician, the most honest person in the world, and they run for Congress, and the day they get up there, it's almost like the colleges. 0.98

00:08:26.400 You go in there wanting to learn math and science and be a pharmacist or something, and you come out worshiping Mao and being a Marxist and hating everybody and hating white people.

00:08:40.300 It's just I don't know what it is about that town.

00:08:43.040 Well, it's built, and it moves on power and money and greed.

00:08:48.560 That's what it is, and it's favors.

00:08:51.220 It's all glad handling, and one pats the other one on the back and makes sure that they keep track of the favors that are owed and that are due.

00:09:01.440 It's almost like a cartel.

00:09:03.740 It is a cartel in a lot of ways.

00:09:06.140 They keep track.

00:09:07.220 They take names.

00:09:08.420 Except more rotten with a lot more money. 0.63

00:09:10.880 It is worse.

00:09:11.720 And they're using our money.

00:09:14.080 See, that's the difference.

00:09:15.160 They're not even using their own.

00:09:16.660 They're using our money to be as lawless as they possibly can, and that's why nothing gets done.

00:09:21.960 They try to put all this stuff off for months and months and years and years so that somebody else in another administration has to deal with it later on.

00:09:31.020 Well, the people that are going to suffer are going to be the kids, the children right now.

00:09:35.120 They're going to be the ones that have to handle this incredible debt, and when you look at the particulars of this bill,

00:09:41.720 it is outrageous on its front, side, and back.

00:09:45.840 We really got it this time.

00:09:48.280 So when I saw this, immediately my mind, of course, went to that.

00:09:52.380 You have Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who says,

00:09:55.820 I'm excited to share the good news that just as I promised, the January 6th tapes are being released.

00:10:02.380 Speaker McCarthy has given, you have Solomon Reports, Julie Kelly, and a third outfit, unfettered access to the January 6th tapes, and they're reporting on it starts tomorrow.

00:10:14.000 And they're going to report what they see, what they deem worthy, what they want to report on, what their news organization decides to move on, what people you've never met decide to report on, and what's important, what's not important, and that's not releasing to the public.

00:10:28.620 I want to look through it myself.

00:10:29.960 I want to go through the files.

00:10:31.520 I mean, I want to look at it.

00:10:34.880 Yes, absolutely.

00:10:36.560 And what's so interesting is her last line here.

00:10:39.120 This is the transparency the American people deserve, and I look forward to their reporting.

00:10:44.840 Well, you promised us that you were going to send it to all of us.

00:10:47.560 We suggested a couple of different methods.

00:10:49.340 You could create a website and just start uploading the 44,000 hours of tape so that people can all grab it at their leisure, at their convenience, and let us do like we normally do.

00:11:02.700 Smart people, technical people.

00:11:04.020 Yes, and start looking at it.

00:11:06.500 Believe me, 10,000 people more talented than anybody, no offense to them, but anybody they have on their staff.

00:11:13.380 There's thousands of people that are genius with this stuff out there.

00:11:16.380 I'm not one of them.

00:11:18.260 I'm the opposite of that.

00:11:20.460 But it's just the games they play, and I try to warn everybody because I've been four and a half years on Twitter, but as far as a political junkie, it's been since about 1990.

00:11:34.020 So 33 years I've been following this.

00:11:36.340 I mean, I listened to Rush almost 30 years, every day that I could.

00:11:41.340 I'm a total political junkie, and I know these games.

00:11:46.580 I know exactly how they're going to work, what they're going to do, how they're going to cave, how they're going to spin it, and it's all spin.

00:11:51.960 It's just all a bunch of lies.

00:11:53.100 They cannot be honest with American people.

00:11:55.400 Who knows?

00:11:57.480 They can go to these people behind the scenes and say, hey, I'm going to release this to you, but this is off-bounds, this is off-bounds, this is off-bounds, and this is off-bounds.

00:12:06.140 And, of course, they're going to take it no matter what, if they're good people or not, because they want to see it, and they want to report on it.

00:12:13.260 It's huge for them, you know, just in their careers.

00:12:16.220 And I'm not harping on Julie Kelly because I love her, and John Solomon seems like he's always been somebody you can kind of trust, too.

00:12:23.240 He seems pretty neutral and pretty, you know, calm and right down the center or, you know, not any weird things, vibes coming off him.

00:12:33.580 But that's two people, not $350 million.

00:12:37.400 Here's the other thing that kind of strikes me is that it says here that, as promised, the tapes are being released.

00:12:44.420 But then right here, okay, so you've got all of this footage.

00:12:48.160 It takes a while to start going through it.

00:12:50.820 And yet she says their reporting on it starts tomorrow.

00:12:54.300 They're going to have to review it.

00:12:55.980 So does that mean that they've had this video footage for some time now?

00:13:00.440 I mean, when was it released?

00:13:02.160 Have they been working on it, or are they going to start working on it?

00:13:06.020 I mean, really, when you think about the magnitude of this and how big it is and how intricate, everything matters.

00:13:13.780 I mean, when you're looking at video footage, just like when you saw in the Rittenhouse trial, right?

00:13:19.560 I mean, there are different angles.

00:13:21.220 There are different views.

00:13:22.200 It tells a totally different story.

00:13:23.760 The more eyes on this thing, the better.

00:13:27.060 So I don't understand why it isn't being released to We the People, considering it's ours.

00:13:33.220 We own this.

00:13:34.700 We deserve this.

00:13:36.120 We've been waiting for this.

00:13:38.060 And just to put it in a handful of people, surely something is going to be missed.

00:13:43.060 Just being human.

00:13:44.660 Now, if all of us were looking at this at the same time, not only would it get out there faster, but it would be in a completely different view.

00:13:52.760 What you see and what I see are completely different things.

00:13:55.460 It happens on a regular basis.

00:13:56.900 So it just really, the timing of it, too, really is awful, considering it just stinks.

00:14:05.180 I just cringed when I saw it.

00:14:07.480 I read it right before I got on the show, and I said, you have got to be effing kidding me.

00:14:13.520 This is why.

00:14:14.860 Because of the debt ceiling.

00:14:16.040 I mean, yeah.

00:14:17.340 And this, you know, okay, we'll let Marjorie Taylor Greene do it, because, you know, the people like her, the grassroots.

00:14:22.260 And it's just all, everything they do is planned, all of it, every bit of it.

00:14:29.120 They do.

00:14:29.840 They absolutely give me the creeps all of it.

00:14:31.000 They can't just come at you honest.

00:14:32.800 They have to say, oh, if we spin it like this, they'll think this.

00:14:36.900 But if we spin it like this, they'll think this, and we should do this.

00:14:39.880 Even the campaigns, like, you know, we're going to go over here.

00:14:43.320 We're going to talk about, you know, we really, you know, we don't have this block.

00:14:47.220 So we need to go here and talk about this, okay?

00:14:49.980 We need the women vote, so we want to talk about kids and family and schools. 0.99

00:14:55.040 And then we're over here.

00:14:56.360 We need this block.

00:14:57.500 So, you know, this is an army town, so we want to talk about building up the military.

00:15:01.240 Can you not just be honest?

00:15:02.320 That's the one thing I do like about Trump. 0.99

00:15:03.980 The reason Trump pisses everybody off and says a bunch of crazy crap and makes everybody mad is because he's just being honest. 0.99

00:15:11.280 There's no filter. 0.99

00:15:12.900 We've been begging and begging our whole lives for somebody to just quit being a used car salesman politician and come at us straight.

00:15:22.260 And then when they do, oh, not that straight.

00:15:24.180 No, I want the polished Mike Pence version of sugarcoating everything like I'm a perfect individual.

00:15:31.240 You can't have both.

00:15:32.720 You can't have it.

00:15:33.360 No, you can't have both.

00:15:35.280 And actually, I like the fact that he's human and he shows his human side.

00:15:39.960 I'm so tired of people just sitting up there with their plastic smiles, their helmet hair, and them lying through their teeth to me constantly.

00:15:49.680 I don't know anybody in my real life that talks like Mike Pence.

00:15:52.960 Nobody.

00:15:53.300 And everybody I know in my real life talks like Trump.

00:15:55.980 He's like, we sit around going, oh, Mike Pence, Mike Pence.

00:16:02.720 Yeah.

00:16:03.380 The only thing honest about Mike Pence during those debates, I mean, you know, the way he was just handling himself was so fake.

00:16:10.600 The fly.

00:16:11.380 I mean, the fly was right.

00:16:13.260 That's all I think about now.

00:16:14.840 It reminds me of Flash Gordon.

00:16:16.360 But it's just ridiculous that they just get up there.

00:16:19.620 They grandstand.

00:16:20.640 Then they give the standing ovation to Kevin McCarthy.

00:16:23.600 He's no different.

00:16:24.240 He's worse than Paul Ryan in so many different ways.

00:16:28.140 He really is.

00:16:29.000 He is deeply embedded in the swamp.

00:16:31.320 And when you start reading what this actual bill means to people.

00:16:34.720 It is a disaster.

00:16:35.900 It is a disaster.

00:16:37.460 I got so mad just reading things from it that I couldn't even do it no more.

00:16:42.140 I know.

00:16:42.800 Sometimes you just have to put it down and say, I'm just kidding.

00:16:47.320 There's just, it's just, we have no representation.

00:16:51.000 We have none up there in Washington, D.C.

00:16:53.260 They pretend like they, it's just, it's just a big game to them.

00:16:56.540 And of course, Mitch McConnell, I can't wait to sign it.

00:17:01.080 Sure.

00:17:02.280 Yeah.

00:17:02.700 Think about this.

00:17:04.400 Joe Biden's surrogates tweeted today.

00:17:07.820 Everybody needs to sign this bill.

00:17:09.600 They have every single Democrat vote wanting to sign this bill.

00:17:14.200 Imagine that.

00:17:15.020 A bill so great that Republicans wrote that every single Democrat is on it and they got

00:17:21.680 like 40% of Republicans voting for it. 0.80

00:17:24.500 If you don't think you're getting screwed, just think about that for a minute. 0.83

00:17:27.500 Oh, it's so true. 0.96

00:17:29.380 I mean, as soon as I saw him jumping on that bandwagon, I went, oh, wow, there you go.

00:17:34.720 There you have it.

00:17:35.720 Do you think that's going to trust you more Republicans or less considering you've got

00:17:40.520 dirty Biden on the case? 0.92

00:17:41.960 I don't think so.

00:17:43.360 I mean, we know exactly what this whole group is about and they're trying to save face right

00:17:47.180 now.

00:17:47.420 This was the wrong time to do it because we can see right through it.

00:17:50.820 They should have done it way before all of this because I tweet out every single day

00:17:55.860 about those video footage, that video footage I'm constantly talking about on a regular basis.

00:18:02.440 And I didn't know if he was looking at my account or not.

00:18:05.560 Probably not.

00:18:06.420 He probably has a staffer that does it all.

00:18:08.620 But I was out there saying, hey, you promised us this.

00:18:11.980 Now, if he would have done it before this bill, it would have been a nicer little blow.

00:18:16.500 This?

00:18:17.240 No, this just stinks to high heaven.

00:18:19.000 It really does.

00:18:20.220 And it really irks me.

00:18:21.800 It really makes me angry.

00:18:23.160 What if somebody promised you $100,000 and they come out and say, hey, just want to know,

00:18:30.460 I told you I was going to give you $100,000 and I did.

00:18:33.260 I gave it to the mayor of your town that will help you.

00:18:36.640 I gave another $33,000 to the dog catcher and I gave it.

00:18:44.280 And you're like, thanks a lot.

00:18:46.000 I'm not happy about that. 0.93

00:18:46.540 I mean, it's so ridiculous. 0.92

00:18:48.260 It's the way it's being done. 0.99

00:18:50.360 It's underhanded.

00:18:53.140 And anybody with any common sense or follows politics knows it just as soon as they see it.

00:18:59.380 And it's just, you can't trust these people.

00:19:01.640 The whole thing is a joke.

00:19:03.440 It really is.

00:19:04.280 It's like one big, gigantic soap opera.

00:19:06.600 And they just get up there and they just lie to our faces.

00:19:09.120 And I'm tired of it.

00:19:10.080 I really am.

00:19:11.220 They should have come clean.

00:19:12.260 They should have been on track way before all of this nonsense and then caving on this debt ceiling.

00:19:17.600 So last night, for those of you that are just catching up, the panel that governs debate on the legislation voted 7 to 6 to adopt the rule with Republican representatives, Chip Roy, Texas, and Ralph Norman, South Carolina, joining the Democrats.

00:19:32.940 The bill now advances to the floor for debate and a vote Wednesday, probably tonight, just five days before the June 5th deadline.

00:19:43.120 Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that the U.S. could default on its debts by that day if the borrowing limit is not raised.

00:19:51.760 Interesting, though, we can throw more money at Ukraine without a problem. 0.62

00:19:56.000 Again today, $330 more million.

00:19:58.360 It was $350 million two days ago.

00:20:00.580 That's what they do this to, again, soften the blow.

00:20:03.940 They're like, okay, well, when we come out with a $30 billion, it makes everybody mad.

00:20:07.880 So just every other day, we'll say $350 million.

00:20:11.100 And that way, we can still give them $200 billion.

00:20:13.640 Think about $200 billion, just whatever state you live in.

00:20:16.680 Think about $200 billion.

00:20:19.320 What that could do for your state.

00:20:21.780 Absolutely.

00:20:22.580 You think they'd give that much to their state?

00:20:24.600 They wouldn't even dream about it.

00:20:26.220 No.

00:20:27.140 No, no, no.

00:20:27.780 And somehow it benefits them, and that's the problem here.

00:20:31.840 And you've got them all grandstanding, patting each other on the back right now.

00:20:36.380 You've got a very happy Joe Biden.

00:20:38.960 I mean, he could not be happier with this whole thing.

00:20:42.040 This is a win for the Democrats. 0.93

00:20:44.180 I mean, just like Nancy Mace was saying, you basically forfeited it all to a person that

00:20:50.380 cannot even find his pants, okay?

00:20:52.460 The man is that far gone.

00:20:54.220 So don't give yourself a big pat on the back with all of this.

00:20:57.540 And there are going to be implications as a result.

00:21:00.720 The party is now more divided than ever.

00:21:03.900 And she is definitely Marjorie Taylor Greene leaning towards a yes on the chef, I use an

00:21:09.660 F, sandwich debt bill.

00:21:12.040 But she also wants impeachment. 1.00

00:21:14.420 Okay, so I don't know what is going on there behind the scenes, but don't lump them all

00:21:18.740 together.

00:21:19.720 And that's what they're trying to do.

00:21:20.960 They're trying to say, see, look, we're going after Biden.

00:21:23.060 See, look, we're releasing the video footage from a sham trial that basically has denied

00:21:28.920 patriots their civil liberties.

00:21:31.360 The stories that are going around about what has happened to these people are heartbreaking

00:21:36.160 on every single level.

00:21:37.560 They have been denied their civil rights completely.

00:21:42.040 They are getting jail sentences that are worse than murderers, rapists, child abusers, the

00:21:48.760 whole deal.

00:21:50.120 That's how they are treating them.

00:21:51.840 This is definitely a two-tier justice system.

00:21:55.100 So no, we're not going to celebrate this.

00:21:57.800 We've been drug through the mud for the past couple of years, and they've helped it along.

00:22:03.440 The Republicans have allowed it to continue.

00:22:05.840 So while you've got 37 Republicans who stand with We the People and won't vote for Biden

00:22:11.700 and McCarthy's flawed uniparty bill, we're starting to see who they are.

00:22:17.320 You talk about the deal.

00:22:19.160 Not the same.

00:22:20.100 What they asked for, the $1.5 trillion was Congress oversight on how the government regulates

00:22:25.760 the American people, lower energy costs and efficient regulations passed by the House and H.R.1,

00:22:32.720 common sense work requirements in Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF, getting rid of the $80 billion for

00:22:39.060 weaponizing 87,000 IRS agents, removing Biden's unfair student loan bailouts that hurts debt-free

00:22:48.260 Americans like veterans and blue-collar workers, a $131 billion spending cut, return to pre-COVID 0.82

00:22:57.180 spending levels, and a cap on growth for 10 years.

00:23:02.120 What they bought us is completely different from all of that.

00:23:06.140 It's just...

00:23:06.880 Far cry.

00:23:07.940 They'll say, well, the Democrats say, I want to spend $2 trillion.

00:23:11.920 So they'll say, okay, we're going to take $5 billion off that, and you can only spend

00:23:16.380 $1.95 trillion, and then the Republicans can come back, we got you a $5 billion cut.

00:23:24.920 We're cutting it up.

00:23:28.000 Hey, did you see where Tara Reid defected to Russia? 0.97

00:23:31.860 Yes, she went to Russia.

00:23:32.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:34.060 Yeah, the woman who... 1.00

00:23:35.560 Who?

00:23:36.160 The accuser. 0.99

00:23:37.360 ...said, you know, Biden raped her. 0.99

00:23:40.640 Mm-hmm. 0.99

00:23:41.080 Yeah, she's so scared for her life, she defected to Russia.

00:23:43.900 That's how bad it is over here.

00:23:45.740 Well, that's what I was saying.

00:23:47.120 When I was talking about moving to a different state outside of California, I said, is it really

00:23:50.920 that...

00:23:51.540 Is that far enough?

00:23:54.020 I don't know.

00:23:55.380 Here I am in Hollywood.

00:23:56.180 Like Barrow, Alaska is where I'm...

00:23:57.460 And I'm going, I don't know.

00:24:00.320 Maybe I should start country shopping instead of state shopping, because maybe it's not

00:24:05.260 far enough.

00:24:06.520 But yes, the former Biden accuser, Tara Reid, she defects to Russia.

00:24:11.360 So she is the former Senate staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault during the 2020

00:24:18.880 presidential election.

00:24:20.680 She's there now.

00:24:23.080 Interesting, isn't it?

00:24:24.460 I mean, this is like, I don't know, this news cycle is completely on fire.

00:24:28.520 So what we got out of this deal, just so everyone knows, $4 trillion price tag.

00:24:33.600 $4 trillion.

00:24:34.980 Okay, let that resonate.

00:24:36.900 It keeps fully intact the IRA subsidies for leftist Green New Deal projects that benefit

00:24:43.460 the pockets of rich elites and the Chinese Communist Party.

00:24:49.000 It also keeps Biden's student loan bailout, hurting debt-free Americans and benefiting those

00:24:55.760 in higher education.

00:24:57.020 More power to the executive branch and weaker regulatory reform, weak work reforms, and no

00:25:05.000 security at our southern border.

00:25:07.400 Funds 80% for the IRS to target the working class and families.

00:25:12.900 More deficit, more government spending, more bureaucracy.

00:25:17.180 Everything we've been trying to fight against this entire time.

00:25:21.360 That's what's in here.

00:25:23.240 Unbelievable.

00:25:23.960 Unbelievable.

00:25:25.100 Oh, it's just one big cave.

00:25:27.380 And then, oh, we released the January 6th.

00:25:29.920 Promises made.

00:25:31.020 Promises gave.

00:25:32.500 Please.

00:25:33.360 They can't even use that anymore.

00:25:35.600 They really cannot.

00:25:36.820 It's just annoying at this point.

00:25:40.160 I don't want to hear about it anymore.

00:25:42.420 We released it.

00:25:43.220 We gave it to three people in the press.

00:25:45.420 We did it.

00:25:46.140 Mm-hmm.

00:25:47.660 Yeah.

00:25:48.000 And then they go and they give him a standing ovation.

00:25:49.960 That's when I pretty much lost it.

00:25:50.280 It's like promising you an alligator and giving you a lizard.

00:25:57.000 That's about what it equates to.

00:25:59.240 It makes me so angry. 0.97

00:26:01.080 So, of course, they give this clown a standing ovation to show that they're united. 0.97

00:26:05.940 They're working real hard for us. 0.97

00:26:07.380 Yeah, right.

00:26:07.860 After what I just told you.

00:26:09.000 And now, here you go.

00:26:11.060 You've got the FBI refusing to turn over subpoenaed Biden bribe document.

00:26:16.520 Comer says he will take steps to seek contempt of Congress vote.

00:26:21.960 Okay.

00:26:22.920 Ready when you are.

00:26:23.540 I've been saying that for a week now, by the way.

00:26:25.300 Why say it?

00:26:26.060 Why not just do it?

00:26:28.080 Yeah.

00:26:29.580 And he's going to be in contempt.

00:26:31.300 They're not going to do anything because the DOJ has to prosecute it.

00:26:34.220 Of course, who didn't show for a subpoena to the sham January 6th committee?

00:26:39.900 Steve Bannon.

00:26:40.780 They're trying to put him in prison for it.

00:26:43.380 It's just two-tiered all over again.

00:26:45.600 The same.

00:26:46.220 I'm talking about the exact same thing.

00:26:50.040 Over and over and over again.

00:26:52.960 They did the exact same thing.

00:26:53.880 Steve Bannon didn't come for a subpoena.

00:26:58.560 They tried to put him in prison the rest of his life.

00:27:01.680 Ray does it, and they're going to send him a mean letter.

00:27:04.840 Oh, my gosh.

00:27:06.120 That means nothing at all because there's going to be no juice behind it because the DOJ is not going to prosecute him.

00:27:12.100 They don't prosecute their own.

00:27:13.840 I mean, you know what they're doing all around the world right now?

00:27:18.220 They should have defunded him immediately.

00:27:20.900 I know, but they should have defunded the FBI.

00:27:23.140 They have that kind of power, subpoenaed him.

00:27:25.400 Don't even tell him it's coming.

00:27:26.440 You didn't comply.

00:27:27.180 I don't need to talk to you about it.

00:27:28.400 You didn't comply.

00:27:29.120 You didn't impeach him.

00:27:30.000 Exactly.

00:27:30.200 Go hard at him.

00:27:31.140 Go hard at him.

00:27:32.480 We need to see that.

00:27:33.600 We need to see that kind of strength.

00:27:34.980 We're never going to see it.

00:27:36.120 No, we're not.

00:27:36.880 They've already proven they're not going to do it right now.

00:27:40.620 I know.

00:27:41.900 I know.

00:27:42.340 I told everybody at the beginning of this.

00:27:44.780 Remember, Trump, you know, I don't agree with Trump all the time.

00:27:48.020 He endorsed McCarthy.

00:27:49.620 Marjorie Taylor Greene was endorsed McCarthy.

00:27:51.540 Me and you are screaming at the top of our lungs for holding the line.

00:27:56.220 Don't put this guy in.

00:27:57.600 Just keep doing it.

00:27:58.440 I know.

00:27:59.960 I knew what was going to happen.

00:28:02.300 We don't have.

00:28:03.020 He's out there tweeting. 1.00

00:28:04.340 He's tweeting all day and everything he says is 100% horse shit. 0.99

00:28:09.200 I'll save everybody the time of reading 20 tweets that he put out. 1.00

00:28:14.620 Just his tweet number one horse shit, tweet number two horse shit, and on down the line. 1.00

00:28:20.180 It's just, it's a joke. 1.00

00:28:21.820 It is a joke.

00:28:22.720 I am just so disgusted.

00:28:24.620 I am sorry that I feel like this today, but really, when that news came out right before

00:28:29.080 the show, like you said, I went, no, they did not.

00:28:33.420 They're not trying to distract us.

00:28:34.840 This is such an obvious way.

00:28:36.740 Exactly.

00:28:37.460 It's just, that's why they released all this stuff.

00:28:41.880 They always release the important stuff on a holiday weekend, Friday at six o'clock.

00:28:46.700 Oh, yeah.

00:28:47.540 And you've already.

00:28:48.280 By the time you have fun all weekend, Tuesday, you forget about it.

00:28:52.260 Certainly.

00:28:53.080 Well, that's exactly why, like you were saying earlier, what debt ceiling crisis.

00:28:57.760 Okay.

00:28:57.900 They don't, they don't think you're going to add up all, all the times that they put together

00:29:01.300 another $300 million package.

00:29:04.100 I mean, this is truly what we have here, a $300 million package.

00:29:09.620 I guess when they keep announcing it, you get it confused.

00:29:12.220 Are they talking about the last one, the one day before yesterday or the one day before

00:29:15.900 that?

00:29:16.580 No, they're all accumulating and they're all individual.

00:29:19.720 Why are we funding the Ukraine war? 0.98

00:29:21.540 Can there's anybody, I guarantee you, nobody can explain it to me without some bull crap

00:29:26.220 line about, oh, if Russia gets to take care of Ukraine, they're coming for Texas next. 0.86

00:29:33.400 They're coming right over to Texas and going to attack Texas.

00:29:36.720 They're just, why are we funding a war?

00:29:39.180 So if Germany and France get in a war, are we going to fund that too?

00:29:44.080 Exactly.

00:29:44.480 What about India and Pakistan? 0.68

00:29:45.740 Are we going to fund that one too? 0.99

00:29:47.600 I mean, why is it our responsibility to fund that damn war? 0.99

00:29:51.040 I have no idea. 0.99

00:29:51.980 And I don't mean fund it humanitarian.

00:29:54.260 I'm always like people that are not in these rotten governments, the rotten Russia government

00:29:59.340 or the rotten Ukraine government.

00:30:00.780 I'm all for helping the people who have been hurt, the citizens.

00:30:05.040 That's not what we're doing.

00:30:06.440 We're giving aid to those, which is a drop in the bucket.

00:30:09.320 We're giving them bullets and tanks and airplanes and everything else.

00:30:13.000 Don't think we're not.

00:30:14.140 Oh, and don't think you're not going to be sending your sons and daughters to the front

00:30:17.680 line at some point too.

00:30:20.080 Zelensky's already made that perfectly clear that this is the fight we're all in together.

00:30:25.620 Boots on the ground and all.

00:30:27.260 It's just a matter of time.

00:30:28.580 Yeah, it's true.

00:30:30.560 He doesn't have a problem saying it, but everybody else in government does.

00:30:34.300 Heck, they haven't even declared it to be a war yet.

00:30:37.680 So what's the deal?

00:30:39.200 We're sitting here funding this whole thing and you haven't declared anything?

00:30:43.040 Yeah, we're just funding it.

00:30:45.000 They're just funding it.

00:30:46.240 Well, this is some big news.

00:30:47.580 Republicans say we've been talking about this to us with our tinfoil hats on.

00:30:53.360 Obama was aware of Biden family business dealings.

00:30:56.560 Of course he was.

00:30:57.380 Of course he was.

00:30:58.720 He was very much a part of it.

00:31:00.460 So you've got the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who has made the claim

00:31:04.520 that implicated former President Barack Obama in regard to allegations involving the family

00:31:10.660 of his then vice president, Joe Biden.

00:31:13.920 In an interview, Comer hinted that Obama was aware of the Biden family's questionable international

00:31:18.960 business deals that have been the focus of a years-long federal probe.

00:31:24.420 Of course they've known.

00:31:26.100 Sure they've known.

00:31:27.640 Nothing's going to happen.

00:31:28.780 Mm-hmm.

00:31:29.600 No.

00:31:30.760 But I'm going to tell you what is going to happen.

00:31:33.380 Let me tell you something right now.

00:31:34.860 We have got Scott Pressler who is going to be joining us on the show.

00:31:38.600 I cannot wait to talk to Scott and find out how he can help us save this country because

00:31:44.260 my goodness, we have, we are in deep, deep trouble and we need to start digging our way

00:31:50.080 right on out of it.

00:31:51.500 So I am thrilled to be able to talk to Scott Pressler, the persistence who will be joining

00:31:58.400 us.

00:31:58.860 And he looks like he is here right now.

00:32:01.340 So Scott, can you hear me okay?

00:32:04.640 I can hear you, but can you see me?

00:32:08.180 I can see you now.

00:32:10.240 Hello there.

00:32:11.400 How are you?

00:32:13.100 I'm doing well.

00:32:13.940 Thanks for having me.

00:32:14.860 We're so glad to have you.

00:32:16.620 Scott, honestly, we have been huge fans of yours for quite some time.

00:32:22.000 We have watched the work that you have done and we just sit back in awe.

00:32:25.940 Can you tell us how you got inspired and how this whole journey of yours started?

00:32:31.500 You're a leader among many, one we need right now.

00:32:36.200 Thank you.

00:32:37.260 Well, a little bit of background information.

00:32:39.560 So I graduated from George Mason University.

00:32:44.020 That's in Fairfax, Virginia and Northern Virginia outside of the swamp in Washington,

00:32:49.260 D.C.

00:32:49.840 And I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.

00:32:54.240 So, of course, I went into politics.

00:32:56.980 But, you know, this was after President Obama and I couldn't find a job despite applying

00:33:02.140 every single day to dozens of jobs, whatever I could get my hands on.

00:33:06.960 And I kind of saw my life was, you know, passing me by.

00:33:10.400 I was walking dogs at the time.

00:33:12.140 Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I always wanted a little bit, you know,

00:33:15.900 something more for myself.

00:33:17.240 And so I applied to a temporary agency and I started working for Alexandria City Public Schools.

00:33:25.220 First, I did T.C.

00:33:26.140 Williams High School.

00:33:27.160 Then I did an elementary school.

00:33:29.560 And during this time while working at the school, President Obama was reelected in 2012.

00:33:35.280 And I just thought to myself, you know, I'm seeing our country going in the wrong direction.

00:33:41.260 And here I am a voter.

00:33:43.460 But what am I doing about it?

00:33:45.560 You know, I'm on the sideline.

00:33:46.920 I'm watching as an outsider.

00:33:48.960 And so I thought to myself, OK, I'm going to be a part of the solution.

00:33:53.320 So in 2013, I started volunteering.

00:33:56.360 Ken Cuccinelli was running for governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

00:33:59.520 And I thought, this is our opportunity.

00:34:01.520 Let's flip the governorship. 0.96

00:34:03.340 Let's do something for our country.

00:34:04.960 And I can get involved locally here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

00:34:08.520 Well, unfortunately, we were unsuccessful by 50,000 votes.

00:34:13.200 It was a very close election.

00:34:15.140 But in 2014, I told myself, Scott, you're going to get a job.

00:34:18.560 You are going to work in politics.

00:34:21.580 And so that Christmas break, I spent all of that time applying for jobs in politics and

00:34:28.100 conservative circles.

00:34:29.660 And within three days of applying to Texas, I heard back and they said, Scott, move here

00:34:36.220 in two weeks.

00:34:37.660 I thought it was a joke because we interviewed over the phone.

00:34:41.960 I didn't do a Zoom meeting.

00:34:43.420 I didn't do any face-to-face meeting.

00:34:45.460 And they were telling me to pack my entire life into my vehicle, move halfway across the

00:34:50.740 country to a place I don't know anyone.

00:34:53.380 But I did.

00:34:54.000 And I went down to work for then Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is now the governor of the

00:34:59.900 great state of Texas.

00:35:01.320 And I worked as a field representative at that time.

00:35:04.620 And then I knew that I wanted to spend my life and make this a move that I was going

00:35:11.120 to help better our country and better society by working within politics.

00:35:15.740 So I spent the next two years helping to defeat Hillary Clinton and elect Donald Trump as the

00:35:20.920 45th president of the United States of America.

00:35:24.420 And really, my life changed in 2019.

00:35:27.580 Many of you probably know me from my cleanup efforts.

00:35:30.840 And it was President Trump who inspired me in 2019 because he was showing what was going

00:35:36.300 on in Baltimore.

00:35:38.080 He was tweeting videos that Kim Klasik was posting about the state of affairs in the city.

00:35:44.960 And again, I kind of thought to myself, wait a second.

00:35:47.280 And everybody's talking about Baltimore.

00:35:49.940 They're tweeting about it.

00:35:51.240 They're showing these pictures and these videos that are compelling.

00:35:54.940 But why is nobody offering a hand?

00:35:57.980 Why is nobody doing anything to actually solve the problem?

00:36:01.760 And so I said, OK, I'm going to go to the city and we're going to do a cleanup.

00:36:05.100 And the tweet went wild.

00:36:08.020 And everybody across the country wanted to help.

00:36:11.120 And so within seven days, we organized 200 volunteers on a Monday, a workday.

00:36:17.960 And we had people fly in from Utah.

00:36:20.640 A family flew in.

00:36:21.680 We had people drive up from Florida, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware.

00:36:26.640 They came from all over the country.

00:36:28.740 And with 200 volunteers, we picked up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours in one single day.

00:36:34.880 And I thought to myself, wait a second.

00:36:37.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:36:38.840 Look at what we did as private citizens.

00:36:41.020 We don't need the government to save us.

00:36:45.760 If we want to save ourselves, it's going to come from us, we the people.

00:36:51.500 And so I thought, let's do this everywhere.

00:36:53.720 And we did.

00:36:54.420 We organized cleanups in Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Duquesne, Detroit, Houston,

00:37:01.640 Kenosha, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Nashville, Portland, Pittsburgh, Philly, Salem.

00:37:08.080 And I was even protested for picking up trash on the streets of California.

00:37:16.800 And so I'm on this mission now, after 2020, teaching people how to run for office, continued

00:37:25.920 voter registration, helping narrowly, narrowly to flip the house in 2022.

00:37:33.040 I'm on a mission to make Joe Biden a one-term president.

00:37:36.380 And I promise to dedicate the next year and a half of my life doing everything I can to

00:37:41.580 make sure that we are electing a Republican president in 2024 that is going to have

00:37:46.780 both a House and Senate that that person can work with in order to pass good conservative

00:37:53.000 legislation.

00:37:54.540 And that is my story.

00:37:55.880 Oh, Scott, you are just such an inspiration to so many people.

00:38:00.020 And we are so looking forward to be able to help you in these efforts.

00:38:04.680 We really do.

00:38:05.600 You have got a whole group of littermates that when they heard that you were going to come

00:38:10.440 on and be in the litter box, they went, oh my gosh, sign me up.

00:38:14.220 I mean, it has been going on for weeks now.

00:38:16.780 And so we want to know what we can do to help.

00:38:21.060 Now, a couple of questions and a couple of people have been asking, because of your success,

00:38:27.160 you are a constant target of the deep state.

00:38:29.720 You represent an existential threat to the deep state agenda.

00:38:34.380 Recently, you were diagnosed with a rare medical condition, which you were able to beat.

00:38:40.520 You consistently prevail when faced with adversity.

00:38:44.280 What is your philosophy of dealing with the adversity and prevailing in all of these scenarios?

00:38:51.460 I think my main philosophy is love.

00:38:57.180 It's kindness.

00:38:58.740 It's stubbornness.

00:39:02.340 It's like you said, I think people know me as the persistence, right?

00:39:07.280 Right.

00:39:07.560 And what I love about the definition of persistence is it actually means to continue on despite

00:39:15.580 resistance.

00:39:17.120 And that's kind of how my moniker came about.

00:39:19.480 Because remember, in 2017, after President Trump won, the Democrats were this resistance

00:39:25.560 and everything was about resisting him and trying to stop him in his tracks.

00:39:30.480 And I thought, that's so negative.

00:39:32.660 Why don't we counter the Democrats' message with something positive?

00:39:37.640 And that's how the persistence was born.

00:39:40.060 And so I guess if that's how somebody wants to define me in one word, that would be it.

00:39:44.380 Persistence.

00:39:45.020 You and Kat Turd both.

00:39:46.940 Kat, you've had your share, haven't you?

00:39:49.360 Of what?

00:39:50.040 Of all of this trashing and all of the bullying and all of the...

00:39:54.780 I get 50 death threats a day.

00:39:56.380 What are you talking about?

00:39:57.420 Exactly.

00:39:57.880 Easy.

00:39:58.900 Exactly.

00:39:59.340 But I said this before we even started this podcast.

00:40:04.080 I used to be on every Wednesday on another podcast she was on.

00:40:08.180 And I said this in 2019, that we're going to keep losing elections unless we start ballot

00:40:16.580 harvesting where it's legal more than they do, better than they do.

00:40:21.820 Matter of fact, if they want to do us ballot harvesting and dump 200,000 in the middle of

00:40:26.080 the night, we dump 300,000 in the middle of the night, legally, of course.

00:40:29.340 Legally, right.

00:40:30.220 Yeah.

00:40:30.980 Legally.

00:40:31.860 Legally.

00:40:32.520 But they are.

00:40:33.380 I mean, there's how many states?

00:40:36.040 I think 13 now are ballot harvesting legal.

00:40:40.820 But the thing about it is, and I'm talking about a presidential election only, we have

00:40:46.560 to go in there and you can't...

00:40:48.760 I mean, why spend your time in California?

00:40:51.240 I mean, the ballot harvesting is legal in there, but you've got to go to the states that

00:40:55.220 they're doing it legally that will affect the presidential election.

00:40:59.340 And there's only so many states, right?

00:41:02.180 So I know that you believe this too, that we're not going to win unless we go to those

00:41:09.860 specific states that are swing states.

00:41:12.800 And we have to be better at ballot harvesting than them legally.

00:41:16.640 Well, I have a lot to say on this issue, and I mean a lot, but before we dive into something

00:41:23.820 that's more serious, first tell me, how is Yoda doing in the three really cute great

00:41:30.420 cats that you saved?

00:41:32.580 Oh, they're doing great.

00:41:34.920 They're doing great.

00:41:35.540 God, yeah, I renamed them, you know, I rename them, you know, as they get personalities.

00:41:42.720 So one's Chubbs and one's Linksy and one's Scaredy Cat now.

00:41:47.180 So I got six cats and six dog rescues now.

00:41:54.240 My family's going to hate me, but if you ever have a cute little orange tabby cat that shows

00:42:01.760 up on your property, please let me know immediately.

00:42:05.020 Because we used to have a little orange tabby that unfortunately passed away, but he lived

00:42:10.020 a good long life.

00:42:11.520 And so I'm always hoping that the universe will send us another cute little orange tabby

00:42:16.540 cat.

00:42:17.100 Oh, man.

00:42:17.700 I saw a bobcat.

00:42:19.580 A bobcat?

00:42:20.680 Yeah.

00:42:21.480 Okay.

00:42:22.700 Yeah, I'm sure my family would love a bobcat.

00:42:27.480 He wouldn't believe some of the things that he runs into over there.

00:42:30.720 I mean, I have animals, too, in Hollywood, but they're just of a different nature.

00:42:34.600 You know, I mean, they just really are not the same.

00:42:37.440 There was the smallest baby fox out on my porch.

00:42:40.660 Well, it's not a covered porch, but on my back porch.

00:42:44.340 I mean, this thing, I can't believe this thing had to be just born a week ago.

00:42:47.920 I didn't see its mother anywhere, but man, it was little.

00:42:51.600 These are the babies.

00:42:53.440 Oh, they're so cute.

00:42:54.880 I can't even.

00:42:56.180 Aren't they precious?

00:42:57.380 I know.

00:42:58.080 They are so cute.

00:42:58.920 And when you post them, everybody goes wild because how can you get rid of rescues?

00:43:03.940 I mean, these are your babies.

00:43:05.400 And so he ends up with a complete zoo.

00:43:08.100 And they I mean, it's hard work to have.

00:43:10.920 What have you got now, Kat?

00:43:12.320 Is it 10, 12?

00:43:14.140 Yeah, 12, 12 rescues.

00:43:15.960 I mean, it's three or three thousand dollars a month just to feed them.

00:43:19.820 And they just don't they look just browbeaten and abused?

00:43:23.700 Oh, no.

00:43:24.740 Yeah.

00:43:25.060 These were feral.

00:43:26.680 These were feral.

00:43:27.620 He had to catch them.

00:43:28.760 I mean, climbing up on ladders.

00:43:30.360 He nearly hurt himself completely.

00:43:32.240 I mean, the whole thing, we were all just kind of holding our breath.

00:43:35.840 And then then he had puppies, of course, and delivered them himself.

00:43:40.020 I mean, he's a regular Dr. Doolittle.

00:43:43.600 No more.

00:43:44.700 12 is my limit.

00:43:45.840 Believe me.

00:43:47.000 He says that now.

00:43:48.360 He says that now.

00:43:49.300 I can't.

00:43:51.140 I physically can't do anymore.

00:43:53.480 Well, I'm so glad I'm so glad the babies are doing well.

00:43:59.620 But let's let's dive in since you brought up the subject of ballot harvesting and early

00:44:04.640 voting and how the heck are we going to win in 2024?

00:44:08.140 Well, first, on January 23rd of this year, I launched a pack called Early Vote Action,

00:44:16.660 earlyvoteaction.com.

00:44:18.460 And so I'm focused on five key states, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

00:44:27.940 And it's for a very mathematical and strategic reason, because we win those states.

00:44:34.240 We've won the necessary 270 plus electoral votes that we need in order to take back the

00:44:39.920 White House.

00:44:40.580 So it's completely based on strategy.

00:44:42.940 And some people may say, Scott, why aren't you focusing on Georgia or Michigan?

00:44:47.700 Or why aren't you also sprinkling in New Hampshire?

00:44:51.240 And it's well, at this present moment, those are the five that in my very limited time and

00:44:57.060 limited resources, I'm able to dedicate myself to.

00:45:01.080 If we find so many volunteers from the litter box that want to help out that I'm able to

00:45:06.840 expand, wonderful.

00:45:08.680 But I'm first focused on those five.

00:45:10.720 And so let's talk for a second and just lend me your ear for just a few moments as I talk

00:45:18.000 about the reasons why Republicans should consider doing early voting and engaging in an all-of-the-above

00:45:25.540 approach to voting.

00:45:26.780 Number one, let's talk about the great state 48.

00:45:30.500 I know there are people who are Carrie Lake supporters, as am I, that are listening to this

00:45:35.160 right now out of Maricopa, Arizona.

00:45:37.800 Guys, what happened in 2022 on Election Day?

00:45:41.680 Well, we told the Democrats where we were throwing the football.

00:45:45.480 We literally told them on social media and to their faces what our strategy was.

00:45:50.360 And our strategy was to vote on one day, Election Day.

00:45:53.980 And so the Democrats were able to do early voting and they were able to do mail-in voting

00:45:58.480 and ballot chasing, right?

00:45:59.940 And they were able to do that for weeks on end.

00:46:02.440 And the majority of our people voted on one day.

00:46:05.500 Well, what happened on Election Day in November of 2022?

00:46:09.440 The machines, 30% of them, estimation, go down in Maricopa County, the most populous county

00:46:15.820 in the state of Arizona.

00:46:17.140 And so what happened?

00:46:18.460 Thousands of Republicans were disenfranchised and weren't able to lock in their votes because

00:46:24.020 the machines coincidentally went down on one day, Election Day.

00:46:27.960 And so therefore, it's my contention, guys, that look, if we wait to vote on one day in

00:46:34.340 November of 2024, who's to say that the elections won't go down again or that the power won't

00:46:40.080 go out or that there won't be a pipe that busts like in Georgia?

00:46:43.720 Or who's to say that some shenanigans won't happen that prohibit Republicans from locking

00:46:49.280 in their votes?

00:46:49.940 Whereas the Democrats will have already locked in tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions

00:46:54.160 of votes, right, going into the election by doing mail-in voting, early voting, ballot

00:46:58.740 harvesting, ballot chasing, and any other type of voting that you can imagine.

00:47:03.040 Number two, just give me a couple more minutes to go through this in its entirety, please.

00:47:07.700 Thank you, Tom.

00:47:09.000 People say to me all the time, they say, Scott, one day, one vote, one paper ballot.

00:47:14.480 I hear you, I understand you, I acknowledge you, I understand the logic and sound reasoning

00:47:20.620 behind that.

00:47:21.800 But we also have to be pragmatic and understand that, guys, look, in California, Oregon, Washington,

00:47:27.800 Connecticut, Rhode Island, even Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, how are we going to

00:47:32.300 change the law in states that we don't control the governorship or that we don't control the

00:47:36.420 legislature?

00:47:37.500 So unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that mail-in voting and in states like California

00:47:43.240 and Oregon and Nevada, ballot harvesting is going to be legal in 2024.

00:47:47.980 And so when it comes to one day, one vote, one paper ballot, did you know that as early

00:47:52.960 as 7.30, 7.30 a.m. on election day in Harris County, Texas, they ran out of paper ballots.

00:48:03.880 So our people are trying to do the right thing, right?

00:48:06.540 They're trying to vote.

00:48:07.640 They're trying to vote on election day.

00:48:09.140 They come to the polls, all excited to vote for their candidate, and they're told,

00:48:13.960 we've run out of paper ballots.

00:48:16.140 You can either wait here or come back later.

00:48:19.360 How many Republicans were disenfranchised?

00:48:21.700 Because ultimately, we showed up on one day, election day.

00:48:25.360 In Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, they ran out of paper ballots as early as 9.30 a.m.,

00:48:30.800 a Republican county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

00:48:33.240 Now, let's bring it home to Pennsylvania for a second.

00:48:37.320 We all know who John Fetterman is, bless his heart.

00:48:39.880 You know, we're not going to say anything unkind or untoward.

00:48:42.800 But going into the election in 2022, the day before the first and only debate in the Commonwealth

00:48:49.460 of Pennsylvania between Dr.

00:48:51.120 Oz and John Fetterman, 500,000 Pennsylvanians had already voted in the election.

00:48:56.560 So what does that mean, Cat, Turd, and Jules?

00:48:58.380 That means that if I'm a Democratic operative, and four out of five of those voters that voted

00:49:03.840 early were Democrats, that means that I am happy as a clam, because I'm saying to myself,

00:49:10.140 oh my gosh, 400,000 of my people have already voted.

00:49:14.700 I have 400,000 fewer people to contact.

00:49:20.380 And I have more time to contact low-propensity voters that have yet to vote.

00:49:24.780 And I have more money and resources to contact those people.

00:49:28.420 Meanwhile, if I'm a Republican, and I'm an operative in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

00:49:32.560 I'm freaking out.

00:49:33.980 I'm biting my nails.

00:49:35.340 I'm pulling out my hair, anxious, because I know that my people all like to vote on one

00:49:41.600 day, meaning that I have to contact everybody.

00:49:45.920 And I have no time.

00:49:48.440 And I have no money.

00:49:51.020 And while the Democrats are funneling, and they are slowly narrowing, narrowing, and whittling

00:49:58.000 with surgical precision down to the precinct, the people that they need to vote, I am casting

00:50:04.700 this wide net, wishing and hoping and praying that everybody is going to turn out on one day.

00:50:12.660 And the last thing that I think is important to note as well is weather.

00:50:18.240 We had a hurricane watch the day before Election Day in the state of Florida.

00:50:23.560 And I'll remind you that it was on the west coast of Florida that was devastated by a hurricane

00:50:28.800 just months prior.

00:50:30.320 And in the state of Nevada, we had a snow storm on Election Day in Reno, in Washoe County, Nevada.

00:50:38.820 Adam Laxalt lost by 8,000 votes.

00:50:43.900 Did you know that in November of 2022, in the state of Nevada, 150,000 Nevada Republicans

00:50:53.240 did not vote?

00:50:54.520 They stayed home.

00:50:55.320 And even worse, in the state of Nevada, cat turd and jewels, every person receives a ballot.

00:51:02.060 Every registered voter receives a mail-in ballot.

00:51:05.280 That means that 150,000 Nevada Republicans didn't even open their ballot, fill it out,

00:51:13.440 sign it, date it, seal it, and walk 10 feet to go to their mailbox.

00:51:18.860 They were either discouraged or demoralized or whatever the reason was.

00:51:24.480 But the fact of the matter is I want people to know that we have the votes.

00:51:28.460 And in states like Oregon, where we only lost by 66,000 votes, but 126,000 Oregonian Republicans

00:51:36.200 did not vote, we could control right now the Oregonian governorship.

00:51:41.120 We could control the Senate seat in Nevada.

00:51:44.420 The Democrats would not have a Senate majority had our people actually voted in 2022.

00:51:49.820 And I say this not to discourage any of you, but again, I want you to know we have the voters.

00:51:57.020 The Democrats, they are just so much better about galvanizing and mobilizing and locking

00:52:03.340 in every single vote.

00:52:05.560 And so to anybody that's listening to this, that you are election integrity oriented as

00:52:10.860 I am, the fact of the matter is, guys, if we want to win, we have to use an all of the

00:52:16.440 above approach to voting, and that means, yes, engaging in early voting, early in-person

00:52:22.440 voting, mail-in voting, absentee voting, and we're legal ballot harvesting if we are going

00:52:27.540 to together make Joe Biden a one-term president.

00:52:30.860 It's got to happen.

00:52:32.000 You got to do it.

00:52:33.240 You got to do it.

00:52:34.620 Everybody listens to this show.

00:52:35.860 I say it all the time.

00:52:37.220 We got to go play their game better than them.

00:52:39.720 And how do we do that?

00:52:40.740 People like you, people with all this energy.

00:52:42.800 I mean, we, you know, when it comes to this ballot harvesting, how to do it legally, I'm

00:52:47.480 sure you're already got your hands all in.

00:52:49.260 I mean, I mean, how do we help fund you so you can train a thousand Scott Presslers and

00:52:55.140 then they can train a thousand Scott Presslers?

00:52:58.040 I appreciate that.

00:52:59.680 Well, you know, people ask me all the time how they can help, and I certainly appreciate

00:53:05.420 people wanting to monetarily contribute, but honestly, your time, your time is worth its

00:53:13.000 weight in gold, and I would love help registering voters.

00:53:17.080 So for example, this weekend, I'm coming to Los Angeles, California, and I know some of

00:53:22.900 you may be like, but Scott, why are you going to California?

00:53:27.100 You should be going to a swing state.

00:53:29.120 Guys, if it weren't for California and Oregon and New York, we wouldn't control the House

00:53:35.060 of Representatives right now.

00:53:36.660 So we can't just let our cities and blue states rot.

00:53:42.880 We have to, if we are America first, offer solutions to Americans everywhere, regardless

00:53:49.800 of where they live.

00:53:50.720 That doesn't mean pour all of our money and time, but it means still offer a hand to help

00:53:55.740 those people.

00:53:56.720 That's where Jules lives.

00:53:58.020 I'm right in Hollywood, California, and it is-

00:54:01.740 It's all the coming.

00:54:02.440 I know.

00:54:03.540 I'm so thrilled about that.

00:54:05.560 Let's do lunch.

00:54:07.000 I can show you.

00:54:08.560 That's coming next.

00:54:09.380 I can take you all around this town, and the sad part about it is the Democrat policies

00:54:16.100 have destroyed my state, and you're seeing the results of them.

00:54:20.420 The tent cities are not a joke.

00:54:22.600 They are very much real, and people are living out there.

00:54:26.520 What do you think the life expectancy is on the street?

00:54:29.700 A couple of years, maybe?

00:54:31.100 So you've got a lot of Democrats that are acting like they care about the human beings,

00:54:37.080 and yet they're stepping right on over them.

00:54:39.400 They're not getting the treatment that they need.

00:54:41.720 We've got a huge problem with fentanyl and everything with the open borders.

00:54:45.780 It's all coming into our inner cities.

00:54:47.860 Our crime is higher levels than it has ever been.

00:54:51.660 Voting matters.

00:54:53.020 If you want change, you have got to get involved.

00:54:57.040 It's not always pleasant.

00:54:58.820 I understand.

00:54:59.720 A lot of us would rather hang out behind our computers, and that's all we do.

00:55:03.760 But hey, they're phone banks.

00:55:05.680 We can call people.

00:55:06.980 We can knock on doors.

00:55:08.760 The problem that I think we have here, too, is that there really isn't a Republican Party

00:55:14.460 to speak of in California.

00:55:17.140 I do not receive anything.

00:55:19.240 I don't get anything in the mail.

00:55:21.200 I'm going to be honest and tell you that Ronna McDaniel is the biggest disappointment

00:55:24.880 of anything I have ever seen.

00:55:26.640 That came from me, not you.

00:55:28.020 I understand.

00:55:29.240 And I want to make that very clear because we have no direction.

00:55:33.340 And that's why when we were able to get in touch with you, I said, oh, my goodness,

00:55:38.160 Scott, I don't have to badmouth her, but tell us what we need to do so we're not at the

00:55:43.800 mercy of the Rhino Republicans. 0.83

00:55:46.600 I can't live like that anymore.

00:55:48.880 The Republican Party is doing nothing right now about ballot harvesting or nothing.

00:55:52.680 What are they doing?

00:55:53.480 Nothing.

00:55:55.100 So we have to do our own.

00:55:57.480 That's a couple of criticisms I have, even of some of our base.

00:56:02.100 And again, this isn't an indictment.

00:56:04.000 I'm not saying this disrespectfully, but even sometimes we have to point the fingers

00:56:08.480 back at ourselves and say, well, I was thinking about it actually as I was in the shower getting

00:56:13.780 ready for this interview with y'all.

00:56:16.860 And I think it's important that when we offer a problem that we also offer a solution.

00:56:24.460 But then I was thinking about it further and I thought to myself, no, but that's not even

00:56:28.880 completing it.

00:56:29.720 We need to A, offer a problem, B, offer a solution, and then C, offer a hand.

00:56:37.920 And then that circle is going to be completed because you are literally going to be a part

00:56:43.980 of the solution by becoming a part of it.

00:56:47.240 And so here's some things that people can do to kind of help and how we're going to move

00:56:53.580 forward in this journey together.

00:56:55.100 So number one, I think the most important thing is a lot of, I go on Twitter spaces all

00:57:01.420 day, every day.

00:57:02.760 And if you guys see me in there and I'm not talking and I'm listening, number one, just

00:57:06.860 so you guys know, the only person on this planet that has access to my Twitter account is me.

00:57:13.100 I've never given out my passcode.

00:57:15.740 I don't have any staff.

00:57:17.020 I don't have any employees.

00:57:18.860 So whenever you tweet from me or a message from me or if I'm in a Twitter space, that's

00:57:23.500 literally me and I'm not just lurking and I'm not just a creeper, but I want you guys

00:57:28.280 to know that I'm in there listening because I care about what you guys are saying and I

00:57:33.320 want to learn from you.

00:57:34.720 And more importantly, I want to know what people care about.

00:57:38.160 So if I have Congress people or legislators that reach out to me, I'm going to actually

00:57:43.140 going to be your voice and I'm going to speak for you to those people so we can try to craft

00:57:49.860 legislation that is going to ultimately benefit people.

00:57:52.520 Anyway, where I'm going with this is I was in the space the other day that was talking

00:57:56.680 about rhino hunting or something to that effect.

00:58:00.280 And so if people are unhappy with the party, number one, we're never going to change the

00:58:05.160 party unless we become a part of it, right?

00:58:07.560 And so if we're not precinct chairs and if we're not engaged in our local Republican party,

00:58:12.620 how are we ever expecting change if we don't create that change from within?

00:58:17.580 And there are many states across the country that are going to have closed primaries.

00:58:23.360 So whatever side that you're on, I'm not picking, I'm not endorsing in this presidential

00:58:27.220 primary.

00:58:28.140 My goal is to win and to set up an infrastructure that whoever is our candidate, that person actually

00:58:35.200 has the ability to win.

00:58:37.500 But if you love President Trump, if you love Governor DeSantis, if you're a big Tim Scott

00:58:42.760 or Nikki Haley fan, then in states like California, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York,

00:58:50.280 Oregon, Kentucky, Louisiana, you must be a registered Republican to vote in a Republican

00:58:57.920 primary.

00:58:58.820 And in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there are 1.2 million unaffiliated voters in the

00:59:07.140 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

00:59:08.860 That means that 1.2 million people are unable to vote in that election.

00:59:14.880 And so, for example, with early vote action, I have an application that you can download

00:59:21.280 either with your Google store or your Play store on either iPhone or Android.

00:59:26.780 And so here's the goal.

00:59:28.660 We're going to have lists that you can call on early vote action, and we're going to do

00:59:33.940 a poll.

00:59:34.760 And we're going to say, hey, my name is Scott.

00:59:36.480 I'm doing a poll.

00:59:38.120 If the presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?

00:59:41.260 President Biden, President Trump, Governor DeSantis, or RFK Jr.?

00:59:45.920 And if they indicate to us, President Trump or Governor DeSantis, boom, they just told us

00:59:51.380 they're Republican, right?

00:59:52.800 And then what we're going to do is tell them, hey, you are not able to vote for X candidate

00:59:58.920 unless you are registered to vote as a Republican.

01:00:01.800 So please go to pavoterservices.pa.gov and change your party affiliation easily online, and

01:00:11.060 you will be able to participate.

01:00:13.020 Now, why is this so important?

01:00:14.540 Because that 1.2 million voters are basically, for all intents and purposes, unknowns to us.

01:00:20.900 So if we use this time effectively and efficiently, strategically, to comb through that data in

01:00:29.260 order to identify Republicans, get them registered as Republicans, that's more data for us.

01:00:35.020 That decreases the Democratic voter registration advantage in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

01:00:40.700 and ultimately will make our life easier in 2024 working to win the Commonwealth, for example,

01:00:48.420 for our Republican candidate.

01:00:51.680 And so that's the kind of work that we're going to be doing state by state.

01:00:55.380 Four of the states that I'm working on for the main priority, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina,

01:01:01.540 Pennsylvania, and yeah, those four, they all do voter registration by party.

01:01:07.760 The only state that does not out of the five that I listed is Wisconsin.

01:01:11.360 And so if we use our time now to get as many of those unaffiliated voters to register as

01:01:16.960 Republican, it's going to make life so much simpler next year.

01:01:21.440 Oh, definitely.

01:01:22.460 In fact, I've got a question along that same line from at Megavoltz001, who is from Arizona,

01:01:29.860 and he says,

01:01:30.540 to convert Democrat and unaffiliated voters to Republican, what is the key difference between

01:01:37.120 the conversion process of Dems versus unaffiliated? What are the chances of success at each?

01:01:46.580 I would, I mean, if it were me, or if I were you, and I wanted to be the most effective,

01:01:54.400 I would focus on the unaffiliated. I mean, you know, think about me for a second.

01:01:58.820 If a Democrat was trying to switch Republicans to Democrat, and they were talking to someone

01:02:04.800 like me, do you think they would have any luck at converting me into a Stacey Abrams supporter

01:02:10.800 or having to vote for Joe Biden?

01:02:13.940 Not going to happen.

01:02:16.540 I agree with what you're saying.

01:02:18.380 Yes.

01:02:19.600 And so if you're going to use your time effectively, I would focus on the unaffiliated voters.

01:02:24.120 And in many of these cases, we have great data that includes people that voted in primaries.

01:02:32.600 It includes consumer data.

01:02:34.520 So you're not just getting an unaffiliated voter.

01:02:37.140 You're getting ultimately a likely Republican unaffiliated voter based on data that paints a

01:02:44.920 picture of someone that is going to be more likely to support our message.

01:02:49.420 And that's why I would choose to do unaffiliated conversion over Dem at this point in time.

01:02:55.000 Oh, that's a great answer.

01:02:56.760 It really is inspiring to see what all that you do.

01:03:01.900 I mean, your energy, your positivity.

01:03:04.700 We haven't been so positive the last seven years.

01:03:07.660 Even after we won by a landslide, President Trump, that was the most incredible thing I

01:03:13.420 think the world has ever seen.

01:03:14.900 And they went right after him.

01:03:18.740 They downgraded it.

01:03:20.140 They really rained on everybody's parade.

01:03:22.780 You had families turning against families.

01:03:25.080 You had this whole entire orange man bad thing that just emerged. 0.95

01:03:31.100 It was the biggest divide our country has ever seen.

01:03:34.840 How do we go about this next election?

01:03:37.700 We don't want to get into the dirt again, so to speak.

01:03:41.220 We want to keep this above reproach.

01:03:43.960 I mean, we need to make sure that we keep that in check.

01:03:47.680 There was a lot of damage done.

01:03:50.000 How do we rise above all of that and really focus on the outcome, focus on the issues,

01:03:55.400 getting people to become involved?

01:03:57.420 They turn their nose at it now.

01:03:59.580 They don't want to talk about it.

01:04:01.060 They don't want to engage in it.

01:04:02.760 And some people even threaten not voting, which I can't believe.

01:04:07.540 But that's where we are.

01:04:08.720 I want to speak to that because this is something that is very personal to me.

01:04:14.660 Well, not so much personal, but I'm experiencing it firsthand.

01:04:18.680 Look, as I've mentioned, I'm not endorsing in this presidential primary.

01:04:23.160 And so I'm in a very interesting position because I have people, some, and I'm not painting with

01:04:30.380 a broad brush.

01:04:31.880 I want to make that very clear.

01:04:33.560 I have some President Trump supporters who are really angry with me for not endorsing.

01:04:38.700 And then I have DeSantis supporters who, because I'm even coming on your show, Cat Turd and Jules,

01:04:44.340 because you guys are Trump supporters, or at least Trump adjacent,

01:04:48.100 they're then attacking me simply because I'm coming on your show.

01:04:51.840 And I'm like, y'all, no, why are we doing this to each other?

01:04:57.880 We are on the same team.

01:05:00.360 Shouldn't the ultimate vision and ultimate goal be to make Joe Biden a one-term president?

01:05:06.720 I mean, why do people care which candidate we're supporting as a Republican when we have

01:05:13.340 millions of illegal immigrants coming into our country, when we have jobs that are being 1.00

01:05:17.760 shipped overseas to other countries, when we have 300 Americans dying daily from fentanyl,

01:05:23.380 when we have MS-13 that's in our country, a dangerous criminal illegal alien gang that 1.00

01:05:28.280 is committing crimes within our country, when we're on the brink of nuclear war with Russia,

01:05:33.980 you know, shouldn't we be focusing on the bigger picture at hand, which is ultimately winning

01:05:38.800 with conservative policies so we can, you know, actually have a country to save?

01:05:43.860 And so that would be my overarching message of today's discussion is let's just be kind.

01:05:50.080 Let's be patient.

01:05:51.440 Let's deliver our message with grace.

01:05:54.680 And even if someone is coming at you with an unwarranted attack or if they are untoward

01:06:00.640 to you, just don't step stoop down to their level.

01:06:05.440 I come back at them with kindness.

01:06:07.500 You know, I was on a space earlier just before y'all and my family, we are Irish. 0.81

01:06:12.820 And my mom always told me, she said, Scott, the Irish can tell you to go to hell in such 1.00

01:06:18.500 a way that you'll enjoy the trip.

01:06:20.280 And so let's give them a good trip and let's do the bless your hearts and let's do it in

01:06:26.940 such a way that we're able to tell them that they shouldn't be engaging in that type of

01:06:31.340 political behavior, but in a way that we still are able to preserve our dignity and ultimate

01:06:37.840 integrity in the situation.

01:06:40.120 It's really true.

01:06:40.720 We need to get out of our own way.

01:06:42.180 We really do.

01:06:43.120 We've got a goal and that's to get Biden out of the White House and to get that whole

01:06:46.640 entire administration replaced.

01:06:48.440 It is.

01:06:48.960 Look, I've been doing this a long time.

01:06:50.940 I'm almost 60 years old, so I've been doing it longer than everybody else on this show.

01:06:54.740 And I'm just telling you, I don't know one primary in my life that hasn't been just a

01:06:59.400 total bloodbath.

01:07:00.640 And then, you know, they get the nominee and everybody comes together.

01:07:03.560 So it's a process and it's happened.

01:07:06.140 So, you know, they're like the Republican parties are just killing each other right now.

01:07:10.980 Well, it's because they're not even having the primary realistically in the Democrat party.

01:07:15.680 They're not going to have debates.

01:07:16.600 They don't have anything.

01:07:17.280 But believe me, when it's all said and done and the guys chosen, the girls chosen, everybody

01:07:25.240 will come together.

01:07:26.460 They always do.

01:07:28.020 But watch out for the infiltrators.

01:07:30.640 This happened the other day that there was this Twitter account that in it, it said MAGA,

01:07:36.680 Catholic, and it said all these other things that would lead you to believe that it was

01:07:40.800 a conservative.

01:07:41.460 Come to find out, we were going through this person's tweets and back in 2008 or 2012, they

01:07:48.440 were tweeting about supporting President Obama.

01:07:50.980 So just realize that some of this is not organic.

01:07:54.920 Some of this is being stoked by the other side who are trying to infiltrate our movement

01:08:00.620 to make us attack each other.

01:08:03.840 So just be cognizant and aware that that's happening as well.

01:08:07.700 That's really good advice. 0.99

01:08:09.140 I'm a shit poster, so none of this is in my nature. 0.98

01:08:15.340 Well, one thing I have to say, Scott, I was really excited to see you going in this direction. 0.99

01:08:23.180 And it's really something.

01:08:24.460 You put out this tweet today.

01:08:26.480 If you're a police or correctional officer who can get me inside your jail or prison to

01:08:32.500 register the nonviolent offenders to vote, send me a direct message.

01:08:38.120 Scott, nice one.

01:08:40.940 Great idea.

01:08:43.300 Oh, no.

01:08:43.720 Honestly, I want to go to the prisons.

01:08:46.380 I want to go there.

01:08:49.360 I want to go there peacefully and I want to go there not having been sent there.

01:08:56.460 That's irreparable.

01:08:57.520 Well, think of it this way, guys.

01:09:01.420 Think of it strategically if I'm an operative.

01:09:04.880 Politics is a game of addition, not subtraction.

01:09:08.740 And so if Republicans are going, I'm not going to talk to this group or this group or that

01:09:14.800 group or this one, we're limiting the small amount of people that we can actually win over

01:09:22.480 as voters.

01:09:23.940 And so my ultimate goal is, look, I want to grow the tent.

01:09:27.160 I want to bring my message to people.

01:09:29.320 I want to earn their vote.

01:09:30.740 And I want to grow the Republican Party.

01:09:33.340 And think of it this way to anyone that's going, Scott, don't go to the prisons.

01:09:38.360 Don't go to the jails.

01:09:40.600 Number one, I know this sounds kind of weird, but I've met a lot of felons and a lot of

01:09:44.680 those felons have been Republicans.

01:09:46.880 So it turns out, you know, the ones that have gotten out of prison and that are, you know,

01:09:51.460 have taken a turn in the right direction.

01:09:54.440 And that's anecdotal.

01:09:56.220 But a lot of those people have turned out to be Republican, number one.

01:09:59.240 But number two, think of it this way.

01:10:02.120 If we don't talk to a group of people, the Democrats will.

01:10:06.660 The Democrats are going to plant those seeds.

01:10:09.260 The Democrats are going to get their data.

01:10:10.980 The Democrats are going to get them registered to vote.

01:10:13.200 And ultimately, the Democrats will take that group, those people off the table that we will

01:10:20.200 never be able to earn or win over their vote.

01:10:23.560 And so they even talk to dead people.

01:10:26.000 That's how good they are.

01:10:29.760 And people that are coming across the border, that's a shoe in.

01:10:32.960 And I mean, all of a sudden they end up on our voter rolls and we're dealing with a system

01:10:36.580 called ERIC and everything else, which it looks like that's being nipped in the bud in a few

01:10:41.160 key states, which is good.

01:10:43.200 The machines have definitely gotten the attention of a lot of lawmakers.

01:10:47.480 That is good.

01:10:48.960 But how can we help you?

01:10:50.960 If we wanted to sign up, and this is how we'll end the show, is you give us an overview of

01:10:55.960 how we can help.

01:10:56.700 And two, if there's a place to donate, because some of us are old, some of us don't have

01:11:00.900 the energy, some people just can't break away, they're trying to feed their family.

01:11:04.760 If you can volunteer, I understand that's the most important, but some people are glad

01:11:09.620 to help how they can.

01:11:12.180 Thank you.

01:11:13.040 Well, the website again is earlyvoteaction.com.

01:11:17.280 But let me bring the focus to 2023, because everybody, for some reason, is all focused

01:11:23.940 on 2024.

01:11:25.320 This is a very important year that if you at home really want to make a difference in building

01:11:33.360 a groundswell and building momentum going into 2024, here are the states especially that

01:11:40.680 I want you to focus on in addition to Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

01:11:49.620 This year, Virginia, I'm in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

01:11:54.400 We, together, elected Governor Glenn Youngkin in 2021, shocked the nation.

01:12:00.220 We almost won in New Jersey with Chattarelli for governor.

01:12:03.800 And that same year with Governor Glenn Youngkin, we flipped the House of Delegates.

01:12:08.060 We, right now, control two out of the three levels of government in the Commonwealth of

01:12:13.020 Virginia.

01:12:13.820 This year, every seat in the House of Delegates and the State Senate is up for election, meaning

01:12:19.740 that, guys, if we are able to keep our majority in the House of Delegates and flip two State

01:12:26.600 Senate seats, Governor Glenn Youngkin will have a legislature that he will be able to pass

01:12:32.800 good conservative legislation going into 2024.

01:12:36.880 And then we could even see, potentially, Virginia as maybe a swing state, as maybe a battleground

01:12:43.980 state, as maybe, with us controlling everything and passing good legislation, the Democrats may

01:12:50.160 have to spend a lot of money in the Commonwealth of Virginia that they normally would not have

01:12:54.840 spent.

01:12:55.600 Number two, I already said it, New Jersey.

01:12:57.220 We have state legislative races in the state of New Jersey this November, county executive

01:13:03.040 positions, city council, school board, I believe, local elections.

01:13:08.140 We need six seats to flip the state assembly to Republican. 0.93

01:13:14.080 And then Democrat Governor, I think Murphy it is, he won't be able to pass legislation and

01:13:19.200 Republicans will be able to block any reckless legislation from being passed.

01:13:24.360 Louisiana, I already said it, we have the opportunity to flip the governorship this October. 0.53

01:13:31.520 I say October because they have a primary in October.

01:13:34.680 The person that wins 50% plus one is going to win.

01:13:38.280 Our goal is to get Jeff Landry across the finish line in October.

01:13:43.440 So then we can focus on Mississippi.

01:13:47.380 Mississippi, don't let people fool you.

01:13:50.380 It is vulnerable.

01:13:51.580 Right now is a little bit underwater in terms of polling.

01:13:56.400 And anyone that tells you that Mississippi is locked in this November, I don't believe

01:14:00.720 knows the true story.

01:14:02.260 We have to hold the governorship in the state of Mississippi.

01:14:06.160 So let's win in October with Louisiana, then send all of our people over to SIPI and make 0.95

01:14:12.080 sure that we're holding that election.

01:14:14.940 Next, Kentucky.

01:14:15.920 We have the opportunity to flip the governorship in the Commonwealth of Kentucky this November.

01:14:22.660 It currently has a Democrat, as does Louisiana.

01:14:25.760 So New Jersey, SIPI, Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania has a state Supreme Court election.

01:14:35.740 And those are the states that in addition to the five that I mentioned, I want you to really

01:14:40.580 focus your time and talent on.

01:14:43.560 And again, we win this November big.

01:14:46.340 It's going to give us so much momentum going into next year.

01:14:50.260 Absolutely.

01:14:51.160 Oh, Scott, thank you so much.

01:14:53.860 You know what?

01:14:54.420 You are your positivity.

01:14:56.120 And just the way you are just shines through.

01:14:59.240 I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

01:15:02.020 Now, question, do you have any political ambitions yourself?

01:15:07.000 Have you thought about running for office?

01:15:09.000 Have you thought about anything like that?

01:15:12.360 I've thought about it.

01:15:13.960 You know, a lot of people are very kind and they tell me that I should run for office.

01:15:19.060 But, you know, here's the way that I look at it right now.

01:15:22.320 If I were to run for office, I would treat it seriously and I would run knowing that people

01:15:30.620 were ultimately going to put their faith into me and that I would be doing a disservice

01:15:37.160 to them if I weren't working tirelessly for every constituent within that district or within

01:15:43.680 that boundary.

01:15:45.240 Now, the only thing about that, though, is if I chose to run, and by the way, I wouldn't

01:15:49.280 choose to run for Congress, I would run at the state level, wanting to run in a state

01:15:54.180 legislative seat, that that would limit me to one state seat within one state.

01:16:02.800 And if I were to travel to other places across the country, then again, I wouldn't be doing

01:16:09.540 a service to my people and to the constituents that would be putting their faith and trust into

01:16:14.860 me.

01:16:15.180 So the moral of the story is, I would consider running for office if and only if, after 2025,

01:16:23.560 we have inaugurated the next Republican president who will be joined by a Republican Congress

01:16:29.400 with the Senate in the House.

01:16:31.540 And then once we have done our job in November of 2024, then I can look to the future for myself

01:16:37.800 personally.

01:16:38.880 Oh, my goodness.

01:16:39.820 Well, I will tell you, we need more Scott Presslers.

01:16:43.020 I believe somebody in chat said, we need one in every single state.

01:16:45.800 We need 50 just to start with.

01:16:47.380 And then we need armies behind them because you are truly an inspiration.

01:16:52.200 So I'm going to pull up your website.

01:16:54.020 We've got earlyvoteaction.com.

01:16:56.760 This is where people can sign up so that we can start putting together lists and everything

01:17:01.080 else so that people know what to do.

01:17:03.420 And you will contact them or you will send them emails.

01:17:06.480 How does that work, Scott?

01:17:07.360 Well, a really big help is if all of y'all, please go on your Android or iPhone, download

01:17:14.960 the early vote action application, early vote action.

01:17:19.780 And you'll see it.

01:17:20.820 It says E-V-A and the V is like a checkmark.

01:17:24.320 You can't miss it.

01:17:25.260 And the cool thing about downloading the application is every time we get a new campaign on there,

01:17:31.720 if you allow for notifications, you will get a push notification alerted on your phone

01:17:38.980 that a new campaign has been activated.

01:17:42.460 So you'll get an alert that Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a new list that you can call

01:17:48.160 or Arizona or whatever the campaign is.

01:17:51.340 So that would be a really big help to download the application, early vote action on both

01:17:56.400 Android and iPhone.

01:17:58.340 Perfect.

01:17:59.020 And here's the Apple one.

01:18:00.180 I just pulled that one up so that everybody can see.

01:18:02.480 This is what it looks like so that you're aware and you can just download that app and

01:18:06.880 that will work perfectly.

01:18:08.860 Oh, Scott, thank you so, so much for joining us.

01:18:12.440 Is there anything else you would like to add?

01:18:15.000 No, the only thing is I just want to say thank you guys.

01:18:18.520 I know my parents are a big fan of yours, Cat Turd, and they even have one of your mugs

01:18:25.640 with the iconic cat on it.

01:18:29.600 And I just want to say thank you guys.

01:18:31.060 Thank you for continuing to be a voice in the movement.

01:18:34.620 And thank you for sharing my voice.

01:18:36.480 And the only ask I have from you is, you know, me in a couple of months, have me on again

01:18:41.580 and we'll talk about what's happened since then.

01:18:44.120 Oh, we would be delighted.

01:18:46.160 Absolutely a delighted.

01:18:48.480 All right, everyone.

01:18:49.460 Well, that you have some work to do.

01:18:51.660 And that was Scott Pressler.

01:18:53.580 I hope that you took notes.

01:18:55.540 We're going to get active.

01:18:56.940 We're going to get involved because we've got to for the sake of our country.

01:19:01.460 All right.

01:19:01.860 We will see you tomorrow.

01:19:03.060 Be safe.

01:19:03.720 Be kind to one another.

01:19:04.960 And tomorrow at 3 p.m.

01:19:07.300 Eastern time.

01:19:08.280 See you later.

01:19:08.800 We'll see you later.

01:19:38.800 We'll be right back.

01:20:08.800 We'll be right back.
