00:00:56.600Uh, one of the big ones on my map is, uh, as always the save act that's, that's front and center in my mind. And it's just astonishing that we can't get any movement on this with Republicans because it's Democrats. We understand where they are, but Republicans are the ones holding us back. Um, so the big story right now is as the save act, you know, is dying on the vine.
00:01:20.860you have Republicans scrambling to give Ukraine some more money.
00:08:10.820But we need to unite the party so we can beat the left and then fix the party from the inside.
00:08:13.880The Democrats are taking over the Democrat, the socialists, I should say, are taking over the Democrat Party from the inside.
00:08:19.960If we want to change the Republican Party, we've got to do it from the inside.
00:08:22.820Taking your ball and going home and being a libertarian and complaining you never have a candidate, that's never going to move the needle.
00:08:28.140Instead, you just strengthen the Republican Party that you don't like, and also you give power to a Democrat Party that's becoming increasingly more socialist.
00:08:35.220Mike Lee said, so when something doesn't have the votes, we're supposed to give up on it, but only if it's a popular bill like the Save America.
00:08:44.620Meanwhile, a less popular bill like FISA reauthorization, which doesn't have the votes, is something we should keep trying to pass.
00:08:51.780Yeah, because the secret is, and I've said this, and Matt looks at me every time I says, you know, Matt wants to bring out a reaction to make you go, really, David? Really, Pearson?
00:09:01.260But my belief, and I believe this is true, and maybe I'm crazy, maybe I have a tinfoil hat stashed somewhere, I think Thune wants to lose the House.
00:09:11.620I think he's okay if we lose the majority in the Senate.
00:09:15.560I think the Republican establishment wants to rid themselves of the MAGA problem.
00:09:20.560And the best way to rid yourself of the MAGA problem, well, lose the House, lose the majorities, and then let the Democrats burn Trump down.
00:09:37.520And then the Chris Christie's of the world, the Nikki Haley's of the world will come on their shining horses and say, I'm here to make the country more respectable.
00:11:01.280angles to get attention and there is that and make it seem as if that is where the electorate
00:11:07.200is moving they're not look what james fishback is polling byron doesn't even have to debate him
00:11:11.080um but but really where we're going is and i've said this early on and i'm gonna give me a second
00:11:18.700to make this point because it's an important one when you say you support trump first of all the
00:11:24.140left assumes if you support trump you have no teeth you live in the country and you're racist
00:11:27.760But the reality is the people who support Trump support Trump for the same reason why New York elected three communists last night.
00:11:34.760The people, the voters, are sick and just like you said, sick and tired of the John Thunes of the world, sick and tired of the establishments.
00:14:14.700AOC, the Democratic Socialists, they took their endorsement from AOC
00:14:19.280because she didn't have the right stance on Israel.0.98
00:14:21.000Right. So we've moved past the identity politics of just race and now how socialists are. And then now they have socialists that are diverse. They have black socialists and Hispanic socialists and Asian socialists. Muslim socialists. So they don't need Barack Obama. They have Barack Obama 2.0. And that's somebody who looks like Barack Obama, but sounds like, I don't know, Karl Marx. And that is perfect for them. And so I don't even think Barack Obama is socialist enough for the Democrats these days.
00:28:03.760And if we don't pass the Save America Act, to take it full circle, if we don't pass the Save America Act, when the Democrats take over the Senate, which they will do.
00:28:13.140Well, you think they're getting the Senate.
00:28:14.100And maybe not this time, but they will, whether this time or next time, they'll get the House.
00:28:17.700And then if they get the House, they'll destroy this country so much that they will take the Senate, maybe even the White House.
00:28:23.380And when they do, because remember, they will, if Democrats get the House, and if I'm right about my theory that the establishment would rather lose the House than give it to Trump,
00:28:36.340the MAGA base, all the people that are fighting with each other now, well, they completely disappear because they won't get behind Chris Christie.
00:28:42.140which means he'll lose a democrat will win name your democrat that they'll put up in 2028
00:28:48.180and they will work with their senate majority they will have all three branches
00:28:51.560and they will get rid of the filibuster and they will pass their version of the save act remember
00:28:57.160they tried to do this this was i think it was hb1 they tried to reform our elections but it was
00:29:02.780fetterman and it was kristin cinema that blocked them from nuking the filibuster had they done it
00:29:07.960they would have made our national elections1.00
00:29:37.640to rise to power versus people who are willing to lose everything to avoid losing it that is not a
00:29:44.760fair fight yeah if we don't pass the save america act i i don't know how long this country survives
00:29:50.620without a communist running it to that point what is your thought on this recent phenomenon of
00:29:58.380leaving the republican party yeah terrible idea um terrible because you know famously right now
00:30:04.040we have tucker leaving the party and he said uh quote i'm not going to support the democratic
00:30:08.220party i don't know what i'm going to do but at this point you know how could you support uh how
00:30:12.380could we support a political party that's not loyal to the united states that puts the interest
00:30:15.620of a foreign country above its own citizens they're making decisions on the basis of other
00:30:19.420criteria what's best for the company for israel for our donors they're going in the wrong direction
00:30:24.160that's unacceptable and treasonous and it can't continue what do you think about that look i i
00:30:31.500I understand. I know what I think about it. I know what I look. I understand Tucker. I understand Marjorie Taylor Greene. I understand Owen Troyer. I understand the folks that are like, I've had it. This isn't the MAGA movement I thought I was involved in. I don't like how we're supporting Israel. I don't like we're same. Right. I feel all those. I understand that. And I do. My grievance with the Republican Party is different.
00:30:54.520My grievance with the Republican Party started when they indicted Donald Trump in 2023, and you had Ron DeSantis, who I have a lot of respect for.
00:31:02.860I think he's done a great job as governor, but at the time, he wanted to run for president.
00:31:07.020Only Vivek Ramaswamy showed up at that Miami courthouse when Trump got indicted.
00:31:12.040Where were the rest of the Republicans?
00:31:13.800The rest of the Republicans said, ooh, here's an opportunity, and they all said, well, maybe he's not our guy.
00:31:59.640Anytime you have a prominent person that either leaves the party, threatens to leave the party, or doesn't represent the party, they split the vote, and the other party wins.
00:35:09.600I mean, that's why we need the Save America Act.
00:35:11.580This all boils down to the Save America Act.
00:35:13.680I said this, I think I was talking to Representative Keith Self yesterday.
00:35:18.300I think the Save America Act is more important than Big Beautiful Bill, more important than any piece of legislation that's come through this White House.
00:35:26.700Because if we can't secure our elections.
