00:00:48.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:50.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:53.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:57.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:58.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:59.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:07.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:31.000 With us right now is the legendary Bill O'Reilly, who has a new book called Killing the Legends.
00:01:37.000 Bill, welcome back to the program.
00:01:39.000 Thanks, Emmy and Charlie.
00:01:40.000 What's up?
00:01:41.000 Doing great.
00:01:42.000 Congratulations on the new book.
00:01:44.000 I feel like you have one every six months.
00:01:45.000 It's pretty amazing.
00:01:46.000 Tell us about this new one, Killing the Legends.
00:01:50.000 Yeah, the subtitle is most important: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity.
00:01:54.000 And now that you are a celebrity, you need to read this book, Charlie.
00:01:59.000 So every famous person in this country has a target on him or her.
00:02:06.000 And the more famous you get, the bigger the target becomes.
00:02:10.000 Now, I wrote about Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Muhammad Ali.
00:02:13.000 They are the coverboys for killing the legends because each of those men changed American culture.
00:02:22.000 So American cultural history is not widely written about because most historians are snobs.
00:02:30.000 But if you look at what Presley Lennon and Ali actually did, their contributions to our history are enormous, yet underreported. 0.56
00:02:40.000 However, in the process of doing what they did, they all destroyed themselves. 0.82
00:02:49.000 So that, so elaborate on that.
00:02:51.000 So we have a younger audience.
00:02:52.000 They know a little about Elvis, a little about Lennon, not a lot about Ali.
00:02:55.000 So tell us, what do you mean by that?
00:02:57.000 All right.
00:02:57.000 So 1950s, after World War II, age of conformity.
00:03:02.000 Americans looked the same, talked the same, acted the same.
00:03:06.000 In the space of six minutes, on a program called the Ed Sullivan Show, biggest variety show in the world, Elvis Fresley gets up on stage. 0.53
00:03:14.000 You can Google it, young Americans.
00:03:17.000 He sings Hound Dog and blows up the entire culture.
00:03:23.000 The next day, pastors are screaming that Elvis is an agent of Satan.
00:03:28.000 Parents are telling their boys, you can't slick your hair back, you can't wear leather jackets, and sneer.
00:03:34.000 Everything changes.
00:03:36.000 Who wins the culture war?
00:03:38.000 Elvis wins.
00:03:40.000 A teenager from Mississippi single-handedly changes the culture into rock and roll rebellion.
00:03:48.000 1964, Beatles come across from England.
00:03:52.000 From 64 to 69, the culture changes again to what we have now.
00:03:59.000 Sex, drugs, rock, and roll.
00:04:02.000 The Beatles were the spear point.
00:04:05.000 Lenin was the most gregarious member of the Beatles.
00:04:09.000 They had an enormous impact on how we live today.
00:04:14.000 At the same time, Muhammad Ali refuses to go into the armed forces.
00:04:20.000 The protest movement explodes and gets involved in a civil rights movement second only to Dr. Martin Luther King in impact there.
00:04:31.000 These are three titans, historical titans.
00:04:35.000 And that's what you will learn and read about in Killing the Legends, as well as how they were all betrayed and destroyed.
00:04:45.000 That's fascinating.
00:04:46.000 And all three of them passed away in three separate ways.
00:04:51.000 But I suppose you tie them together with some similarities and some commonalities.
00:04:58.000 And there's three of the most important people to live in the 20th century.
00:05:01.000 Now, Bill, it's interesting.
00:05:02.000 They're not political, or were they?
00:05:05.000 Because tell us about that. 0.95
00:05:07.000 Ali was.
00:05:09.000 So Ali signed on with the Nation of Islam.
00:05:12.000 Do you know who the leader of the Nation of Islam is now, Charlie?
00:05:15.000 Louis Farrakhan, if I'm not mistaken, right?
00:05:17.000 Farrakhan.
00:05:18.000 So that tells you all you need to know. 1.00
00:05:20.000 So it's a radical organization based on skin color and black supremacy. 0.99
00:05:26.000 Ali signs on with them. 0.97
00:05:28.000 They run his whole life. 0.81
00:05:29.000 Now, Ali himself was not a hate-whitey guy.
00:05:34.000 I interviewed Ali.
00:05:35.000 Okay.
00:05:36.000 He wasn't. 0.89
00:05:36.000 He got along with whites and blacks, but he gave all of his power, handed it all over to Elijah and Hermit Mohammed, both of whom betrayed him. 0.89
00:05:48.000 In Lennon's case, he became a heroin addict, if you can believe it. 0.98
00:05:52.000 Insane.
00:05:54.000 Probably the most powerful pop star in the world withdraws from the world after he meets Yoko Ono, who's still alive today.
00:06:02.000 Beatles break up because of his drug use.
00:06:07.000 And with Elvis, he killed himself.
00:06:09.000 Absolutely killed himself at 42 by ingesting massive amounts of prescription drugs and having a lifestyle of dissolution.
00:06:20.000 So, Bill, that's a question that some people ask.
00:06:22.000 Why is it that people that seemingly have it all at the top levels of their industry then go into self-destructive behavior and drugs?
00:06:30.000 What do you think about these three people's stories, or at least in particular, Elvis and Lennon?
00:06:35.000 Because Ali lived a rather long life, obviously, with a battle with Parkinson's.
00:06:39.000 What do you think specifically in Elvis and Lennon can teach us to answer that question?
00:06:43.000 Why is it that people at the top levels go in such self-destructive behaviors?
00:06:47.000 Well, where's Justin Bieber right now?
00:06:50.000 How about what's this singer's name who's in Every Day?
00:06:55.000 They just can't handle it.
00:06:58.000 I'm not a psychiatrist, but when you are overwhelmed with fame where you can't go anywhere, a famous person walking out of his home today in America, he's got a cell phone on him or her every second they're in public.
00:07:15.000 Every second.
00:07:16.000 So the demands on you emotionally are so intense that many people want to numb themselves, so they go to narcotics.
00:07:29.000 But this is not a new phenomenon.
00:07:31.000 I mean, go all the way back to Marilyn Monroe and, I mean, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Doblin.
00:07:35.000 It never ends.
00:07:36.000 Never ends.
00:07:37.000 Okay.
00:07:38.000 And they're all superstars who are lonely and many of whom have been betrayed by people close to them for money.
00:07:48.000 And that's what happens.
00:07:50.000 It's well written.
00:07:52.000 I'm sure.
00:07:53.000 I can't wait to read it.
00:07:54.000 And it is killing the legends.
00:07:56.000 And so, Bill, I want to transition to shift gears here, kind of more for the news of the day.
00:08:01.000 It seems as if Republicans are looking better going into the November midterms.
00:08:05.000 You know, you've been through many of these election cycles, have a lot of wisdom.
00:08:09.000 What is your opinion on how the midterm landscape is shaping up?
00:08:15.000 Well, I'm a simple man, as you know, Charlie, right?
00:08:18.000 A simple man.
00:08:20.000 Two years ago today, America had the most vibrant economy on earth, on earth.
00:08:28.000 Now, our economy is a shambles.
00:08:32.000 And people who have to make a living are paying much, much more for the basic necessities of life.
00:08:39.000 One party did that, the Democratic Party.
00:08:43.000 That's it.
00:08:44.000 Now, I'm not a party guy.
00:08:47.000 I'm a registered independent.
00:08:49.000 I follow everybody.
00:08:50.000 I watch everybody.
00:08:52.000 I can't imagine, and I'm not being supercilious, word of the day, supercilious.
00:08:58.000 I can't imagine any American pulling the lever for a Democrat.
00:09:03.000 If you do that, you're voting for an even worse economy, an even worse border problem, even more violent crime.
00:09:15.000 You're voting for all of that.
00:09:16.000 Is that what you really want?
00:09:18.000 Does that help you?
00:09:21.000 So I can't imagine the Democrats get any votes.
00:09:26.000 No votes.
00:09:28.000 This is these two years of President Biden.
00:09:31.000 And I hope your viewers and listeners go to billoreilly.com because we fact-based it out.
00:09:37.000 We're not ideologues or emotion or anything.
00:09:39.000 It's just fact-based.
00:09:42.000 Next to James Buchanan, the president before Abraham Lincoln, who basically stoked the Civil War, Biden's been the worst president in his first two years in history.
00:09:53.000 There's been nobody worse than him.
00:09:55.000 Yet you're going to go and vote in the midterms for the Democrats?
00:10:00.000 Who's going to do that?
00:10:02.000 I mean, that's how simple I have this analysis down.
00:10:06.000 So Republicans should win fairly handily across the board.
00:10:10.000 What do you think, President Trump, what do you think his role in the midterms is going to be?
00:10:15.000 I mean, you're around him quite often.
00:10:17.000 You did a tour with him.
00:10:18.000 You know, there's whispers that he's going to announce for president soon.
00:10:21.000 How do you think he factors into this midterm election?
00:10:23.000 I hope he disappears because it doesn't do Republicans any good to have Donald Trump around the midterm elections.
00:10:33.000 It's an issue-oriented vote.
00:10:37.000 So the Democrats desperately want to make it about Trump, which is why the bogus January 6th Committee in the House will release their findings probably two weeks out before the vote to try to center independent voters on Trump again.
00:10:54.000 See, it's the independent voters, Charlie, that always make the difference now.
00:10:58.000 A lot of them don't like Trump.
00:11:00.000 And the more Trump is in the news cycle, the less the Biden administration, Democratic Party's failures are focused.
00:11:09.000 And of course, the media will pick up any Trump stuff because the media is allied, actively allied now with the Democratic Party.
00:11:16.000 So if I were Trump, I'd be down to Honduras or something and take a couple of weeks.
00:11:22.000 Get out of this cycle.
00:11:25.000 Yeah, I see it both ways.
00:11:27.000 I would also say, though, that there is a question of actually getting the base to turn out in Politico.
00:11:31.000 There's an article, weak rural turnout could hurt Republican Party in November.
00:11:34.000 So independent.
00:11:35.000 Why would there be a weak rural turnout?
00:11:38.000 The weak, what?
00:11:39.000 They don't have to eat there?
00:11:40.000 It's just in the country?
00:11:42.000 I'm just looking at the data, Bill.
00:11:43.000 I'm just saying that some people get apathetic and cynical, and they don't look at the Republicans.
00:11:49.000 Politico is a BS website that all they're in business to do is to advance the liberal cause. 1.00
00:11:55.000 That's just crap. 0.99
00:11:57.000 Rural people will turn out more than urban people. 0.99
00:12:00.000 What the Democrats have to watch out for, and what polling never takes into account is that African Americans might not come out for them. 1.00
00:12:07.000 That's true. 1.00
00:12:08.000 That is true.
00:12:08.000 Because they're getting hurt worse than anybody.
00:12:10.000 Well, and even worse than that.
00:12:11.000 Now, they're not going to vote for Republicans. 0.89
00:12:14.000 It's not like Hispanics who I think Hispanics will vote for Republicans in many places. 0.63
00:12:19.000 African Americans are not going to do that. 1.00
00:12:21.000 They just won't go out. 1.00
00:12:22.000 And that's not shown in any polling.
00:12:25.000 But I see this stuff on the websites all the time. 0.98
00:12:28.000 Axios, Politico, all that is garbage. 0.96
00:12:32.000 And how do they know? 0.99
00:12:33.000 Based on what?
00:12:35.000 You think people in Wyoming want to pay 100% more for their groceries than they did two years ago?
00:12:43.000 That's insane.
00:12:45.000 But that's what we have to go by because these people, this is what they do.
00:12:49.000 It's all speculation until the votes are counted.
00:12:52.000 Also, Bill, I want your thoughts here.
00:12:53.000 You mentioned a little bit.
00:12:54.000 Hispanics have made a 21-point shift to the Republican Party since 2012.
00:12:58.000 Why do you think that is?
00:13:01.000 Look, I'm generalizing now, and I don't like to do that.
00:13:06.000 But I hear where I live in New York, I hire a lot of Hispanics to do work for me.
00:13:14.000 I run two corporations, and we hire a lot of Hispanics. 1.00
00:13:19.000 Every single one works their butt off. 1.00
00:13:23.000 Okay?
00:13:24.000 I mean, these are people who want a pathway to prosperity.
00:13:30.000 They don't want socialism or corruption.
00:13:34.000 That's why they left their countries to come here so they could earn a buck and move on up, as the Jeffersons once sang.
00:13:43.000 But the socialist agenda that weighs the Democratic Party down takes away a lot of that in taxes and, of course, inflation.
00:13:55.000 So two years ago, Hispanic Americans were way ahead economically than they are now.
00:14:00.000 So we're blacks, which is my hypothesis that the Democrats are not going to get a lot of solace in those two areas.
00:14:10.000 I think you're right.
00:14:11.000 It's a huge shift.
00:14:12.000 Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much for joining us as always.
00:14:15.000 Killing the Legends.
00:14:16.000 Check it out.
00:14:17.000 Great analysis and always fun.
00:14:18.000 Bill, thank you so much.
00:14:20.000 Okay, Charlie, good luck.
00:14:21.000 We'll talk again.
00:14:22.000 I hope.
00:14:22.000 Thank you.
00:14:23.000 Thanks.
00:14:26.000 I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country, created by co-founder of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.
00:14:33.000 The folks at Job Creators Network defend and advance policies that help small business owners across America grow their business.
00:14:39.000 We talk a lot about labor in the media, and we're always responding to the complaints of labor.
00:14:45.000 And that's fine.
00:14:46.000 Obviously, it's important.
00:14:47.000 But who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy? 0.98
00:14:51.000 Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Job Creators Network, that's right, Job Creators Network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

00:15:48.000 One of the most exciting Senate races in the country is in Nevada, of all places.
00:15:54.000 Someone I've known for quite some time is running a great campaign up against the total zero in a state that is rapidly not becoming a red state, but it's fixing itself towards a center-right direction.
00:16:07.000 And it has a lot of national Democrats very worried that if Ron Johnson holds on and Ted Budd holds on and JD Vance holds on, that alone, with an Adam Laxalt flip, even without Herschel, even without Blake, even without some of these other ones, Senate goes Republican.
00:16:23.000 Adam Laxalt joins us right now.
00:16:26.000 Adam, congratulations.
00:16:27.000 I don't want to say congratulations yet, but I want to say keep going.
00:16:30.000 You're running a great race.
00:16:31.000 How does it feel on the ground in Nevada?
00:16:34.000 Yeah, look, I think we've been the most consistent campaign, and we've been at this since last August.
00:16:40.000 And all our hard work is coming to fruition here in the close.
00:16:44.000 You know, no one is on the ground more than I am.
00:16:47.000 No Republican candidate, certainly not my Democrat opponent, is in every single county in all of these communities.
00:16:55.000 And the enthusiasm is off the charts.
00:16:59.000 And despite the fact that Senator Masto and her leftist allies have spent gazillions of dollars attacking me starting in June, all the way through, it's just hardening our people.
00:17:12.000 Our people are furious.
00:17:13.000 They know these commercials are lies.
00:17:16.000 And as you just reported, Charlie, I mean, yesterday was the sixth consecutive poll with us ahead in this narrow swing state, which doesn't mean we're going to take our foot off the gas.
00:17:27.000 You know, we got to charge this thing.
00:17:30.000 They just put in more money.
00:17:31.000 She just put out that she raised $15 million in the third quarter, as I'm sure you cover a lot.
00:17:38.000 The Democrats are the party of the rich now.
00:17:40.000 They've got unlimited money to try to buy these races.
00:17:44.000 But we feel like we're exactly where we need to be.
00:17:47.000 Post-Labor Day, that's when we started spending and our allies started spending.
00:17:52.000 And I think this is when people are paying attention.
00:17:54.000 I think that they're getting to see who she is.
00:17:58.000 They're understanding that, you know, unlike Joe Biden, telling everybody that gas is under $3 in all 50 states, guess what?
00:18:05.000 It's 580 here right now and climbing, by the way.
00:18:10.000 That is the greatest Laxalt commercial advertisement is 580 gas in Clark County.
00:18:16.000 It's unbelievable.
00:18:17.000 Yeah.
00:18:17.000 Well, and look, we're all Nevada, it's over six bucks, and we have to drive everywhere in this state.
00:18:24.000 We're a large state, and so people are furious.
00:18:27.000 And, you know, in the end of the day, there was this great New York Times article this morning of all places, if you can believe it.
00:18:34.000 And they were embedded with the culinary union and they knocked a Democrat door.
00:18:39.000 And he said, no way, they've ruined our economy.
00:18:43.000 They're killing our state.
00:18:44.000 They don't have my vote.
00:18:45.000 And so things are looking really rough for them.
00:18:49.000 But again, they've got all this money and they're lying and they're trying to buy this thing.
00:18:54.000 So we need support from grassroots conservatives across the country at AdamLaxalt.com to try to match that spend.
00:19:02.000 I've known Adam for a while.
00:19:03.000 He's a true fighter.
00:19:04.000 He'll do a wonderful job.
00:19:05.000 Just curious, how are the national Republican groups backing you up?
00:19:09.000 I don't mean it, I'm accusing any way.
00:19:11.000 I'm just wondering, has McConnell come in with a serious number for you?
00:19:15.000 Yeah, look, I think in the end of the day, there's a limited pool on our side, and a lot of decisions started to be made in September.
00:19:22.000 And fortunately, since our race was tied or marginally ahead, the huge gap we had is being filled in by a lot of different Republican groups.
00:19:33.000 And so people understand that this is very likely the 51st seat.
00:19:38.000 I'm doing my job.
00:19:39.000 We've worked hard.
00:19:41.000 We have built this team in this state.
00:19:43.000 And so we were down something crazy like 39 million for the month of October.
00:19:50.000 And it's now 11.
00:19:52.000 So it's still a spending gap, but we'll take 11 over 39 million any day.
00:19:58.000 Yeah, I think that there's going to be some people coming up out of the woodwork soon.
00:20:01.000 There's been a lot of Republican donors on the sidelines for whatever reason.
00:20:05.000 Maybe the economy hit them or they're just tapped out.
00:20:08.000 The Democrats have the opposite, though.
00:20:09.000 They're more enthusiastic than ever, though.
00:20:11.000 The Democrats are spending money like wild, and they've really kind of become the party of Silicon Valley plutocrats in many ways. 0.69
00:20:18.000 One of the dynamics in your race, Adam, which is kind of a harbinger for things to come for Democrats, is the narrowing of the Hispanic gap.
00:20:27.000 And this is now, it's been kind of predicted for months, but now it's becoming real in the data.
00:20:33.000 Of course, not over till the votes are counted and anything can happen in Clark County, unfortunately.
00:20:38.000 Big surprises can always happen in Clark County.
00:20:41.000 Let's play cut three. 0.94
00:20:42.000 According to polling, Democrats lead has narrowed.
00:20:46.000 Let's start with three, and then I want to play the Latino clip after that. 0.73
00:20:49.000 Play cut three.
00:20:50.000 In August, I believe we had a big lead for Federman.
00:20:53.000 It is now shrunk to just four points, according to a Fox News poll.
00:20:58.000 Go to Wisconsin.
00:21:00.000 Our friends at Marquette had Barnes up seven in August.
00:21:03.000 Now he's down one in the most recent poll.
00:21:07.000 And even in Georgia, we've seen while Rafael Warnock still leads, his lead has narrowed.
00:21:13.000 So that one's narrowing.
00:21:14.000 It doesn't talk about your race, but it's talking just more generally about how the trend is narrowing.
00:21:20.000 And Herschel Walker is running a great race as well.
00:21:23.000 But I want to get to this one here, which is cut, let's say here, yeah, cut 22 about Latino voters, which factors into this narrowing poll gap.
00:21:32.000 Play cut 22.
00:21:33.000 And the switches have been taking place over the past five, 10 years.
00:21:37.000 You noted Donald Trump picked up far more Hispanic Latino vote than was anticipated.
00:21:43.000 Those numbers appear to be either stabilized or growing even more in the Republican Super.
00:21:47.000 There are certain states where different there are different Hispanic communities that will vote in different ways, so it's not a monolith.
00:21:53.000 But if you're looking at it from the broad picture, 30,000 foot lens, if you're a Democrat, this is troubling.
00:21:58.000 How do you feel on the ground, Adam?
00:21:59.000 Hispanic Latino voters.
00:22:01.000 Yeah, look, President Trump got a higher percentage of the Hispanic vote than anyone running for president in the last couple decades.
00:22:10.000 This working class message for us actually being for working and middle class is hugely important in my state.
00:22:18.000 The greater Las Vegas suburb is very working class.
00:22:22.000 And what Senator Masto and her allies represent right now is the urban elites.
00:22:27.000 We know that they represent these coasts and the Latin X talk.
00:22:33.000 You know, they're not having it. 1.00
00:22:35.000 They came to Las Vegas because they actually believed in the American dream.
00:22:38.000 And they believed, like it used to be, if you worked hard, you could actually create a small business and get ahead.
00:22:44.000 And then they got treated to shutdowns by Democrat governors.
00:22:48.000 They're getting treated to critical race theory.
00:22:50.000 The schools were, you know, were greatly harmed over COVID.
00:22:54.000 We have crime rising.
00:22:56.000 The border, of course, is out of control.
00:22:58.000 And so all these things are combining for a perfect storm.
00:23:03.000 And no question, the numbers are closing in our race.
00:23:06.000 We've seen under 10.
00:23:08.000 Masto, by the way, won by 42 with Hispanics in her last Senate race. 0.98
00:23:12.000 And so we think those numbers look very promising, not just for my race, but for the state.
00:23:18.000 Cortez Masto won Hispanics by 42 last time.
00:23:22.000 She did.
00:23:22.000 And then you're seeing it under 10.
00:23:25.000 We've seen three public polls under 10.
00:23:27.000 Well, then, I mean, what's her past?
00:23:30.000 I mean, I'm just being honest.
00:23:31.000 Like, if that's sub-10, you're cooking with gas at that point, right?
00:23:36.000 I mean, that's a tectonic shift.
00:23:38.000 She just can't make it up.
00:23:40.000 Unless I'm not trying to say it trying to preemptively celebrate here, but that's unbelievable.
00:23:45.000 That's a 30-point dip.
00:23:48.000 But, but, you know, these numbers have gotten so bad for them.
00:23:51.000 They're spending millions on Hispanic advertisement. 0.99
00:23:55.000 And, you know, we don't have the money to compete with all this stuff.
00:23:58.000 And so they're, of course, spinning yarns about how great she is.
00:24:02.000 And they're attacking me.
00:24:03.000 And, you know, look, in the end of the day, I think people are going to tune all this stuff out.
00:24:07.000 I think that it's got to be noise at this state of the game.
00:24:10.000 But again, we need support from conservatives across the country.
00:24:14.000 Every dollar we get, we're going to try to match these lies.
00:24:18.000 And hopefully they can't deceive voters because this is their record.
00:24:22.000 Their record is the highest 16% inflation in my state, almost $6 gas, record small business closures, rising crime, massive issues with the border.
00:24:33.000 I mean, this is their record that they can't escape as long as we get our message out.
00:24:37.000 So, Adam, can you talk about how Nevada has a little bit of a kind of a thirst for a little bit of revenge from these lockdowns?
00:24:45.000 The lockdowns were unpopular across the country, but Sisilac was so cruel and so draconian that it really hurt the gaming industry, really hurt restaurants, really hurt tourism, really hurt conventions.
00:24:57.000 That parts of Vegas are still trying to climb themselves out of this of dislocation and job loss that resulted in just suicide and depression and drug use.
00:25:08.000 I mean, I know a lot of people in Vegas, you and I know a lot of the same people there that are job that are owners of facilities, and they've just gotten completely crushed.
00:25:17.000 And a lot of the workers are saying, why couldn't we have done it the Florida way?
00:25:21.000 And so, can you talk about, Adam, how the lockdowns, probably in Nevada more than any other state, are a lingering political issue.
00:25:27.000 In most states, they've kind of entered a post-COVID political moment, but not in Nevada.
00:25:32.000 Is that right?
00:25:33.000 Yeah, look, let me first say this is an example where our media, I mean, where were they?
00:25:38.000 You know, they put on the blue jersey.
00:25:40.000 They never asked Sisilak why casinos were open, small businesses and churches were closed.
00:25:46.000 And if they did that, he, of course, wouldn't have had any science to back that up.
00:25:50.000 And we would have had the state open sooner.
00:25:52.000 We wouldn't have had our schools closed for so long.
00:25:55.000 And so people are pissed.
00:25:57.000 But, you know, the paradox, Charlie, is that the strip got opened up earlier.
00:26:02.000 And because they, you know, cut a lot of expenses and they found a different way to do business.
00:26:07.000 The strip and the people at the top of the strip are doing well. 0.96
00:26:11.000 You know what hasn't come back is the working class, our small businesses, the bars, the taverns, you know, the entertainment community. 0.99
00:26:20.000 I mean, those were the ones in the end of the day that were destroyed by COVID lockdowns, unnecessary COVID lockdowns. 0.99
00:26:27.000 And that's where I think you're going to see this huge movement of people.
00:26:31.000 They know they can't blame anyone else like they tried in 2020.
00:26:35.000 That's right.
00:26:36.000 This was a Democrat governor.
00:26:37.000 He's the one that's going to be a little bit more.
00:26:38.000 It was one of the worst lockdowns of the whole country.
00:26:42.000 And, you know, every state has dealt with it politically, a little bit on local and state levels.
00:26:49.000 But some of these Democrats have kind of escaped.
00:26:52.000 You saw Chris Murphy, for example, in New Jersey almost lose because of the lockdowns.
00:26:57.000 But Nevada is a very economically dependent tourist hub, especially in Clark County.
00:27:04.000 And you're right, MGM to City Center to Bellagio to Venetian, they got hit, but they were able to navigate some of it and they were able to cut deals.
00:27:14.000 But if you go to Summerlin or you go to those areas surrounding some of the small businesses, even less than Summerlin, which is obviously, you know, a little bit higher income, you logo to West Vegas.
00:27:24.000 They got destroyed.
00:27:25.000 They got decimated.
00:27:26.000 You go to Henderson, forget it.
00:27:28.000 And there's a huge lagging effect from Sisilac's heavy hand that I think is really, I think there's going to be a reckoning.
00:27:34.000 I think a lot of the Cortez-Masto negative polling is people that had their lives unnecessarily destroyed in Vegas because they said, oh, yeah, your restaurant has to close.
00:27:45.000 Or, you know, you have to wear three masks while I do this.
00:27:47.000 They said, this is insane.
00:27:48.000 And it was, I could tell you, Adam, I did a lot of traveling.
00:27:51.000 Vegas was by far the worst in the country of major cities that I went to.
00:27:57.000 Only worse would be New York and L.A.
00:27:59.000 And I don't think that's the spirit of Vegas.
00:28:01.000 It's a can-do attitude.
00:28:02.000 It's hardworking people.
00:28:03.000 It's entrepreneurial.
00:28:04.000 Check out adamlaxalt.com.
00:28:06.000 That is adamlaxalt.com.
00:28:07.000 We'll talk to you soon, everyone.
00:28:08.000 Check out adamlaxalt.com.
00:28:10.000 Thank you, Adam.
00:28:11.000 Thanks so much.
00:28:12.000 Appreciate it.
00:28:13.000 Okay.
00:28:16.000 As they say, what was it, Yogi Berra?
00:28:18.000 It's not over until it is over.
00:28:22.000 The great poll here from Ron DeSantis.
00:28:26.000 We got out of Florida Spectrum News and Sienna poll shows Ron DeSantis up eight points against Charlie Christ.
00:28:34.000 Charlie Christ is awful.
00:28:36.000 Eight points.
00:28:36.000 Marco Ruby up seven points.
00:28:38.000 I think there is a chance that Ron DeSantis wins by 10 points in a Florida gubernatorial race.
00:28:46.000 And I'm going to do a whole show on DeSantis and his leadership and how he has defied the media at every turn.
00:28:52.000 But if DeSantis is truly up eight points in Florida, then that shows a little bit of the tea leaves that there is a wave that is brewing here.
00:29:01.000 If DeSantis was up one point or two point, I'd say, I don't know about that.
00:29:05.000 But DeSantis up eight points, the great state of Florida is becoming a Republican deep red bastion.
00:29:12.000 And it has now, the question is, will that spread to other states?
00:29:15.000 I believe it will.
00:29:17.000 I want to continue to pick apart this article here from NBC News.
00:29:20.000 Democrats see signs of nightmare scenario, Latino voters staying home.
00:29:25.000 Democrats have held up their state as a national testing ground for how Latino voters are going to vote in 2024. 0.98
00:29:32.000 But only 37, it's really 36 days to the midterms.
00:29:34.000 There are warning signs at the doors, on the phones, on the streets. 0.97
00:29:37.000 Latinos are threatening to stay home. 0.97
00:29:39.000 And that is despite the presence of the first ever Latina elected to the U.S. Senate, Catherine Cortez-Masto. 1.00
00:29:44.000 They just don't care. 0.74
00:29:46.000 Melissa Morales, it's what keep me up at night, president of Somos PAC, which has spent millions of dollars on ads in English and Spanish for Cortez-Masto.
00:29:54.000 Where do they get all this money?
00:29:55.000 Well, they have a lot of plutocrats that want to spend a lot of money because they don't know what else they're going to do. 0.99
00:30:01.000 Honestly, these are people that have no purpose, no direction in their life, like Lorene Powell Jobs and Mackenzie Bezos.
00:30:07.000 They have billions of dollars, but they don't have joy.
00:30:09.000 I don't think Mackenzie Bezos has joy. 0.97
00:30:11.000 She's a very, I think she's doing a lot of damage to our country. 0.99
00:30:15.000 Let's put it that way.
00:30:16.000 What I'm looking at is this, says Melissa Morales.
00:30:20.000 Do Latinos actually turn out to vote this year?
00:30:22.000 If we see higher voter turnout, we win in Nevada. 0.97
00:30:25.000 But the fire alarm has been pulled.
00:30:29.000 It's a big test for Democrats, and Adam Laxalt is surging in every poll.
00:30:33.000 We just had Adam on the show.
00:30:34.000 Cut 22, we've played this before.
00:30:37.000 It's important to play again.
00:30:38.000 This is troubling for Democrats.
00:30:40.000 Play cut 22.
00:30:42.000 And the switches have been taking place over the past five, 10 years.
00:30:46.000 You noted Donald Trump picked up far more Hispanic Latino vote than was anticipated.
00:30:52.000 Those numbers appear to be either stabilized or growing even more in the Republican Sever.
00:30:56.000 There are certain states where there are different Hispanic communities that will vote in different ways, so it's not a monolith.
00:31:01.000 But if you're looking at it from the broad picture, 30,000 foot lens, if you're a Democrat, this is troubling.
00:31:06.000 It should be troubling.
00:31:07.000 Al Sharpton continues that Democrats aren't connecting with black and Latino voters.
00:31:12.000 Play cut 15.
00:31:15.000 And the concern throughout is how we're connecting the base to the message.
00:31:21.000 The Democratic Party and President Biden does have some things they could be using that they've done that has benefited clearly black and Latinos, but it's not connecting.
00:31:34.000 I think that that is the challenge they have in these last four or five weeks.
00:31:38.000 Clearly, they must connect the message to those that would be energized.
00:31:44.000 At this point, that is not happening. 0.56
00:31:46.000 The woke mind virus, the idea pathogen that says that we should have black-only dormitories, we should have equitable hurricane relief, which is a story I meant to touch on today.
00:31:57.000 We're going to have to do that one tomorrow. 0.83
00:31:59.000 That men can become pregnant and gender is just a construct and medically mutilate children keep our borders wide open.
00:32:05.000 It's deeply unpopular in lower-income minority communities. 1.00
00:32:08.000 And Al Sharpton is right. 1.00
00:32:11.000 About time he's bright about something.
00:32:13.000 It has been a long time since Al Sharpton has been right about anything.
00:32:17.000 Shows that Democrats are losing.
00:32:21.000 In fact, the Intercept shows it's not just white people.
00:32:24.000 Democrats are losing normal voters of all races from theintercept.com.
00:32:30.000 There is a chance, there is a chance, and we can see it brewing as long as the election systems hold and we have poll watchers and we look at the mules and all this stuff.
00:32:39.000 There is a chance this thing gets wildly out of control for Democrats.
00:32:43.000 And let me prove it to you.
00:32:45.000 Do you think in the next 36 days to the midterm election, the Democrats are going to win over new voters, a substantial swath of voters?
00:32:57.000 No.
00:32:59.000 Do you think Republicans can win over new voters?
00:33:02.000 Yes.
00:33:02.000 When there is a party out of power, the last 36 days are almost always in the benefit of the party out of power.
00:33:11.000 Always.
00:33:12.000 Unless there is a war or a big bill that is signed or the economy just resurges in such a big way.
00:33:18.000 All those trends, unfortunately, are going the wrong direction.
00:33:20.000 I pray we don't go to war.
00:33:22.000 Republicans have a very, very high ceiling.
00:33:26.000 Democrats have already hit their ceiling and they're cratering.
00:33:29.000 It's a simultaneous effect.
00:33:31.000 There's a chance this gets out of control for the Democrats.
