Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of.
00:00:05.840
You do. So, ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F-150 and build your dream
00:00:13.520
with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curbs in a Mustang? Can you take a Bronco
00:00:20.000
to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't,
00:00:26.160
you're right. Ready, set, Ford. And here's my update based on the numbers. Jack is in a position
00:00:33.920
to win. I'm not saying he's going to win, right? Republicans have to turn out. We're competing a
00:00:39.520
little bit better on vote by mail. We're competing a little bit better on the early vote, but that
00:00:44.880
still means we'd have to dominate turnout on election day. So, to anybody out there that's
00:00:49.040
confident about this New Jersey race, you shouldn't be. You should be excited about it because I do
00:00:53.520
think he's in a much better position than he was at this time four years ago. But Republicans have
00:00:58.560
to vote. Democrats are always motivated. They're always showing up. It doesn't matter who the
00:01:02.640
candidate is. Trump rules out running as Vance's VP to gain third term, but open to Bannon plan.
00:01:11.360
Let AOC go against Trump. No joke. Donald Trump is actually entertaining him having a third term as
00:01:23.040
That's what's important. Yeah. Who are the very good people?
00:01:28.080
You said that for 2028, they're very good people
00:01:31.280
who you have in mind. No, we have great people.
00:01:33.680
I don't have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here.
00:01:37.680
We have, uh, JD, obviously. The vice president is great.
00:01:41.680
I think Marco's great. I think, uh, I'm not sure if anybody would run against us.
00:01:45.920
And I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable. I really do. I believe that.
00:01:52.160
I would, I would, I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever. It's very terrible. I have my
00:01:57.520
best numbers. So you're not ruling out the third term?
00:02:02.080
Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you'll have to tell me. All I can tell you is that we have a great,
00:02:06.960
a great group of people, which they don't. They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have,
00:02:12.560
uh, AOC's low IQ. If you give her an, an IQ test, have her pass, like the exams that I decided to
00:02:21.520
take when I was at Walter Reed. I took, it was a very hard, uh, really aptitude test.
00:02:28.320
The aptitude tests they do aren't super hard. I am actually impressed though, because one of them is
00:02:33.440
like at the beginning of the test, they tell you to remember five words and at the end of the test,
00:02:36.320
ask you to cite them back. And I have a really great memory, but I'm, I know a lot of people that
00:02:41.200
can't remember why they walked in a room, let alone remembering five words. I love it.
00:02:46.480
Trump versus AOC. Now let's be real guys. Many people have come out and said, Trump's joking.
00:02:52.000
He's not going to go for a third term. Don't be ridiculous. I don't know. I don't know that I
00:02:58.040
agree with that. It's possible. Very much so. We have a bunch of elections happening right now.
00:03:03.600
It is imperative that conservatives win because in Virginia, for instance, the AG has publicly
00:03:09.680
been exposed. He's been exposed publicly as having, he wants to murder conservatives and their
00:03:15.160
children. He wasn't joking. All of it's confirmed. And he wants to have the full law enforcement
00:03:21.760
powers in Virginia, which is absolutely terrifying. Well, we're going to be joined by Cliff Maloney
00:03:30.240
in just a second as I boot up our interview page. Let's see, make sure this is working
00:03:36.260
properly. It looks like everything is working properly. Loading it up. And Cliff, how's it
00:03:42.700
going, man? It's great. Thanks for having me today, Tim.
00:03:45.280
So we got some big elections that are happening right now. And there's big concerns about whether
00:03:49.820
or not the right is going to win in Virginia, in New Jersey. We also have the proposition,
00:03:55.320
Prop 50 to redistrict in California. Trump has talked about, I'm sorry, the DOJ is sending
00:04:01.120
election monitors to these locations. I want to get into that. But the first thing I want to ask
00:04:04.300
you is just to get the spicy bit up front. Trump hasn't ruled out running or somehow getting a
00:04:11.100
third term. And he was just interviewed. He's on Air Force One. And he says, let's go up against
00:04:15.560
AOC. She's low IQ. There's rumors of a plot where Trump would run as Vance's VP. And then once Vance
00:04:24.640
wins, he resigns or something. And then Trump becomes president again. How much of this do
00:04:29.580
you think is Trump trolling? Do you think that really is? Bannon seems dead serious. Do you
00:04:35.860
I think Trump's trolling. I think it's a fun time for everybody. It's a good thought exercise. And
00:04:42.180
of course, the troll works, right? Because the left goes nuts. You know, it plays into all these fake
00:04:46.300
dictator, Hitler type comments and all this crazy stuff. And they eat out of the palm of his hand. So
00:04:51.620
yeah, I think he's going to continue to do that. But no, if I had to guess, I would say Trump does
00:04:55.800
not run for a third term or any type of, you know, VP, slide him in, this or that. I think
00:05:03.320
Bannon seems pretty serious. But again, Bannon's not Trump and he's not working with Trump. But
00:05:07.680
what I do find interesting is there is a potential PR strategy here that Trump keeps poking the bear
00:05:13.120
because the media will take it. The media keeps hearing Trump is a tyrant and wants a third term.
00:05:17.500
And then Trump resigns peacefully and waves and smiles to everybody. And, you know, the PR play is
00:05:24.280
make the media cry wolf as much as you can so that no one trusts them anymore.
00:05:29.520
Yeah. And I think what he's doing is genius because they're going to continuously be focused
00:05:33.740
on that. Look, if somebody makes up something about you and it's not true, you know, this idea
00:05:38.060
that you're a dictator and then you can go and continuously make jokes and normal people know
00:05:42.920
that you're joking and the left just because it's, look, you know, I told you, look, he's doing this.
00:05:47.380
I just think it's a hilarious troll. And I think they're going to continue to push it.
00:05:51.480
I think considering what we've seen so far, I would I would understand the possibility. So
00:05:55.580
when Bannon brought this up, he said there's a plan at the appropriate time he'll announce it.
00:06:00.780
The 22nd Amendment says you can't be elected more than twice. And I think for most people,
00:06:05.860
like obviously you're saying it's probably trolling. Most people probably assume he's just goofing off
00:06:10.300
and he's poking the bear. But there is a possibility of appointment, which bypasses
00:06:15.400
any argument on Second Amendment. It says elected. What if Trump is appointed? What if
00:06:18.700
with what we've seen? So now we're transitioning into these election monitors and what I want to
00:06:24.500
talk to you about. We're seeing the DOJ is sending election monitors out. They want to make sure there's
00:06:30.100
no funny business. This is actually fairly common for the DOJ to do, but the Democrats are losing
00:06:35.160
their minds over it. Newsom said Trump is rigging the election. What happens? You know, before we get
00:06:41.440
into all of that stuff, just segwaying through what happens if come 2028, just before the election,
00:06:48.000
something happens discernibly, be it clear evidence of some kind of rigging or even terror attacks,
00:06:54.680
which calls the results into question. And there is no definitive winner between the Democrat and
00:07:01.160
Republican. And it's not because of any kind of tie or any kind of numerical outcome, but because no
00:07:07.620
one can be certain the results are correct after something happening at polling locations disrupts
00:07:13.420
the process. What if the Supreme Court then appoints Trump? Well, one, I mean, I don't want us to ever be
00:07:19.860
Zelensky or Ukraine and cancel elections. I think you got to move forward even in the midst of tragedies,
00:07:25.680
wars. You got to elect the leaders that are serving the people. Two, I think the DOJ,
00:07:30.340
what you just said, Tim, is 100 percent correct, right? The left will take this as some hysteric
00:07:34.720
moment of overstep by the federal government. We've been doing this for decades. The DOJ has
00:07:39.560
sent people to these polling locations to monitor them for decades. And even just in 2024, they passed
00:07:45.700
the COCO Act, which pretty much enhanced what the DOJ does to say that congressional staffers can go in
00:07:51.780
and they can watch and secure the election. So look, we have a legal process. The legal process is going
00:07:57.960
to handle some of these things. There's a lot of unprecedented things that could happen.
00:08:01.580
And a lot of it's kind of blurry and unclear. But we still have a country. We still have a republic.
00:08:07.360
We still have different separations of power. And I think the judicial system, we got to make sure
00:08:12.620
people can trust the election. But that's going to be who will decide whether these electors are
00:08:16.980
certified, whether each state is happening. But it's messy. I'll give you that.
00:08:20.680
Yeah. That's what I think it's funny when we hear Democrats say things like,
00:08:23.360
there won't be an election. I think Rosie O'Donnell was, I don't know if it was her,
00:08:26.740
but they say things like that. And it's funny because I can't remember who said this might've
00:08:31.080
been Michael Malice. Like even North Korea has elections. Like whether you can trust them is
00:08:35.180
a different story. So what's going on right now? What are you working on?
00:08:38.580
Yeah. So we're in New Jersey right now. I went on your show last year to talk about our Pennsylvania work
00:08:43.320
with the Pennsylvania Chase program. We've launched the New Jersey Chase program.
00:08:46.920
And the idea is we're all in on Jack Cittarelli for governor. We've got 105 people on the ground
00:08:51.560
full time. And here's my update based on the numbers. Jack is in a position to win. I'm not
00:08:57.620
saying he's going to win, right? Republicans have to turn out. We're competing a little bit better on
00:09:02.720
vote by mail. We're competing a little bit better on the early vote. But that still means we'd have
00:09:07.980
to dominate turnout on election day. So to anybody out there that's confident about this New Jersey
00:09:12.860
race, you shouldn't be. You should be excited about it because I do think he's in a much
00:09:16.860
better position than he was at this time four years ago. But Republicans have to vote. Democrats
00:09:21.880
are always motivated. They're always showing up. It doesn't matter who the candidate is.
00:09:26.140
So we're seeing good numbers so far. And Tim, this is the first time Republicans have really
00:09:31.020
competed in New Jersey. Wow. Right. That's not a shot at the New Jersey Republican Party. I just
00:09:35.480
think nationally this has become the race. So you have folks that are coming into New Jersey. You have
00:09:40.540
different infrastructure and apparatus that other swing states are used to. So we're going to see just
00:09:45.760
how much impact that has. Luckily, the Democrat is a horrific candidate. And the Republican is like,
00:09:52.280
you look at Jack and you're like, this guy looks like a governor, right? He connects with normal
00:09:55.980
people. And I think it'll be an interesting referendum to see if he pulls it off.
00:10:00.540
What was Chris Christie? He was a Republican, wasn't he?
00:10:04.780
Yeah. New Jersey has never elected the same party's governor more than two terms in a row. It's very
00:10:10.260
weird. So this will be historic if the Democrats win. There's always been kind of a shift. And,
00:10:14.540
you know, way back in the past, it was more of a, hey, the state would go back and forth,
00:10:18.380
mostly between moderate Republicans, to be clear. But yeah, Christie was in office,
00:10:22.900
you know, back when he was running for the, you know, the 2016 race. He had just been out of office
00:10:27.980
for two years after his Bridgegate scandal. Yeah. So there is hope in New Jersey. There's rational
00:10:32.460
thought. And remember, Trump lost by double digits in 2020. 2024, he only lost by 5.9 points.
00:10:38.920
So the shift is coming. It's not when, it's if it's going to happen now, because the registration's
00:10:45.480
moving towards Republicans. You've got a lot of the momentum. Jack only lost by three points when
00:10:50.520
he lost four years ago. So it's moving there. It's just, is there enough time for it to be this
00:10:56.160
election that it goes Republican? What does this mean for people in New Jersey? Like what,
00:11:01.400
if the Republicans win? Yeah, look, I think that a lot of the national issues we saw in 2024
00:11:06.640
are very similar in Jersey, right? If Republican Jack Chiderell gets elected,
00:11:10.280
you're talking about lower energy rates. You're talking about ending the wokeness. You're not
00:11:14.120
going to have men and girls sports, the immigration issue. He's going to be working with President
00:11:18.380
Trump. And honestly, just the whole role of government. New Jersey is out of control.
00:11:22.640
If you compare the tax rates across the board, whether it's individual taxes, corporate taxes,
00:11:27.280
business taxes, it's unsustainable. I mean, Tim, I've had about 10 different of my individual
00:11:32.300
donors who have told me in New Jersey that if Mikey Sherrill wins this election,
00:11:36.640
that they are moving their company to Florida or Tennessee or somewhere else where they can do
00:11:40.660
business. I think people look at New York as being horrific. New Jersey's taxes are off the
00:11:45.780
charts. And I just think people there with the cost of living, the biggest benefit you're going to find
00:11:50.480
is if Republican Jack Chiderelli gets elected, it'll be a huge boost to working blue collar
00:11:56.160
New Jerseyans. That's what they're excited about. Yeah, we dodged a bullet. I was in Jersey for a
00:12:01.280
little while. First in Bergen County, and then we moved down south to the Woodbury area, just outside
00:12:08.500
of Philadelphia, but on the Jersey side. And we were trying to launch all of this stuff that we
00:12:12.320
were doing in Jersey, but it was impossible. And I would argue that we actually dodged a bullet and
00:12:16.960
got lucky. We were looking at buying property. And because it's so difficult to run a business in
00:12:20.920
Jersey, we ended up saying, maybe this isn't the right idea. We tried to buy a building. It was a
00:12:26.740
disaster. We were disappointed. And it was a great building. It was a big office. And we were
00:12:31.560
going to do so much amazing stuff. I was reading about New Jersey's youth brain drain. Young people
00:12:37.780
flee the state. It has failed the younger generation. And I was like, how do we turn that around? Come
00:12:44.020
on, we can make New Jersey great again, right? Nope. No, we could not. So unfortunately, maybe if we
00:12:49.600
stuck around, we could have helped. But I decided to get out. And now, of course, we briefly went to
00:12:54.100
West Virginia. And then we ended up in now we're in West. We went to we went to Maryland. Now we're
00:12:58.580
in West Virginia. And it's unfortunate. But the state has just been horribly, horribly mismanaged,
00:13:04.120
in my opinion, corrupt. It makes it impossible for you to run a functional business. Why would
00:13:10.000
someone stick around? So I'm hoping, you know, what we saw with Jeff Andrews switching parties all
00:13:16.060
those years ago, those trends continue much like, you know, what we saw in my neighborhood in
00:13:21.280
Chicago, despite Chicago being deep blue. My neighborhood, which was blue in 2016, is now
00:13:26.020
red staunchly for Donald Trump. I'm hoping we'll see some of that in New Jersey and we can start
00:13:30.580
fixing all of these problems. Yeah. And look, Tim, you know, the pendulum has to swing back,
00:13:35.120
right? Eventually, things get bad enough that normal people, regardless of party right now,
00:13:38.500
this isn't even a partisan thing. But when it becomes so corrupt and when the government is just
00:13:43.000
making things so difficult with red tape, eventually people push back. And look, if you had to look
00:13:48.400
at different places in the United States, forget the policies, just talk about the actual land and
00:13:54.200
opportunities and the seasons. New Jersey is a beautiful place to live, right? You've got the
00:13:59.500
beaches. You've got all of these just, it's so much, it's just ripe for good business. And these
00:14:05.480
politicians have just made it so impossible for young people, for individuals. Like you said,
00:14:10.280
even just trying to start a business, some of these regulations are just out of control.
00:14:14.240
And why would you ever pick a state like that when you have those other opportunities not too far
00:14:19.940
away? And that's the problem they're having is no one's staying in New Jersey.
00:14:23.160
Don't get me started on gun laws. Let's talk about gun laws. Let's talk about if you are a,
00:14:27.840
let's say you're a moderate and you're like, I don't know, I don't like crazy people having guns.
00:14:31.360
Well, New Jersey is just plum nuts. Okay. It is the craziest place. I had a guy try to break into my
00:14:37.480
house. He was a pedophile and he was demanding that you are hoping I would interview him and tell
00:14:44.680
the world how about his story and how he was framed or something. I don't know. It was three in the
00:14:48.600
morning and he tries entering my home. I call the police. Fortunately, they're nearby. They, they,
00:14:54.360
they come, take the guy, they stop him, they find him. I get one of these cops. He says, if it were me,
00:14:59.400
I'd answer the door with a shotgun. And I said, oh, okay, then what? These cops explained to me
00:15:04.220
in New Jersey, if someone breaks into your house and screams that they're going to kill you,
00:15:10.640
you are not allowed to shoot them. Only when you are cornered with nowhere to go,
00:15:17.460
if the person is expressing an intent to kill you, can you use lethal force? And I said, and then what?
00:15:23.360
The cop told me you'd be arrested and charged with a felony for murder. And when you're, when you
00:15:28.300
finally make it to trial, you can explain to the judge how, why you were innocent and try and use
00:15:33.120
self-defense as your claim. But in this state, the victims are penalized and the criminals run
00:15:40.580
rampant. And so, you know, with, with that combined with the business issues, I said, listen,
00:15:45.700
by all means, you want to have strict gun laws, whatever, fine, but at least allow people to
00:15:49.240
defend themselves. And the state doesn't. It's more than just the governor. You need the state
00:15:53.880
legislature to shift. You need every conservative minded, every moderate, every reasonable person
00:15:59.360
to go and vote. Yeah. And I think you just hit on the two major things we're trying to do,
00:16:06.400
which is one, you got to flip the governor's mansion, but then we've got four to five legislative
00:16:09.940
districts that have to flip, uh, to give some control back to what I would call the rational
00:16:14.480
folks on guns in New Jersey. You're over the target here. It is the most radically run state.
00:16:19.820
The gun grabbers have full control on the policies in the state. Let me explain this to you. You know,
00:16:24.700
since, since Charlie's assassination for all of these public events, especially more high profile,
00:16:29.620
we had an event. Wildwood, Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, Scott Pressler, myself, we all had security
00:16:35.480
with us. And when I talked to the security team, this is a group that's not based in Jersey.
00:16:40.120
And I told them the event is in Jersey and we were going to need body men with us. You should have
00:16:45.120
heard the side from our team that was like, Oh my gosh, because even in New Jersey, the only carve out,
00:16:52.680
the only carve out to being able to protect and carry a gun with somebody that, you know, is supposed
00:16:57.460
to serve as security is you have to be an ex-policeman. You have to be a retired state trooper. It's like
00:17:02.520
the only carve out. And so those are the people you can go to. But to me, to think you literally are
00:17:08.000
hiring security and those people, imagine what citizens have rights to. If people that are former law
00:17:14.400
enforcement are the only ones, that's bonkers. New Jersey's got to get this fixed.
00:17:18.260
Yeah. The ruling in New York where they allow you, like states now have to issue permits. When I
00:17:26.600
lived in Jersey, they told, so the first thing that happened was I was trying to get a gun because
00:17:31.400
we had these threats. I was informed it wouldn't matter anyway. They told me, if you shoot a guy
00:17:37.960
who breaks into your house, you're going to go to jail. You're going to be charged with murder and
00:17:42.840
you can plead your case to the judge and maybe you'll get bail. But, uh, so I said, what am I
00:17:47.740
supposed to do? And they said, flee. I'm like, flee where? I'm in my home. And what I was told by
00:17:54.540
the cops are like, imagine telling a judge, I'd rather murder, I'd rather kill a guy than stand
00:17:59.580
outside somewhere. You think they're going to, they're going to let you go for that. They're
00:18:02.960
going to convict you. And it's, it's the craziest thing. First, I go to the police. They all lie to me
00:18:09.200
on how to get a gun. Finally, I figured out if you want to buy a gun, ask the guys who sell them.
00:18:14.480
They told me what to do, how to fill out the paperwork. And then it was, it was relatively
00:18:16.840
quick. It didn't take that long, but you've got to get like ID'd. You got to go to a police station.
00:18:21.680
And if you want to be able to actually carry the weapon, forget it, you have to be famous.
00:18:26.600
I'm not kidding. They told me, uh, you have to prove there is a reason you need to carry it.
00:18:31.940
And that means you are a famous individual who is wealthy. That's it. In the state of New Jersey,
00:18:38.700
back, this is several years ago, like 2018, I think in order to carry a weapon concealed open
00:18:43.820
or otherwise, you have to prove you are rich and you have to prove you're famous because
00:18:48.660
just rich ain't enough. No one's going to target you just famous. Maybe that'll qualify. And that
00:18:54.140
is an insane standard that, that it's, it's ridiculous. Now that being said, it's not just
00:18:59.440
New Jersey though. I know you guys are working up there in New Jersey, but what do you think
00:19:02.340
about what's going on in Virginia? Cause let me tell you, we're talking about self-defense
00:19:06.520
and protection. I'm a few minutes away from Virginia. Let me tell you how worried I am
00:19:11.140
in my family because we drive down the road and we see signs for Jay Jones everywhere.
00:19:16.000
And this is a guy who said he wants the children of his political rivals murdered and he wants
00:19:21.140
conservatives murdered. And he wants to own law enforcement in that state. He didn't lose
00:19:26.200
an endorsement. He barely went down in the polls. If this guy wins, it is, is a terrifying
00:19:32.920
reality for what's going to happen for anybody, anyone conservative minded.
00:19:36.800
Yeah. I think this is a huge moment for Virginia to decide, you know, which direction they're
00:19:40.720
going to go. I lived in Virginia for a couple of years, Northern Virginia. Uh, I always thought
00:19:44.360
it was a pretty good place to live. Northern Virginia is a little crazy, uh, with a lot of
00:19:47.740
their laws, but if this Jay Jones guy wins, I think it's just going to send a message that
00:19:52.820
not only has the Democrat party lost its way in the party leadership, but a lot of the party
00:19:57.440
voters, you know, I've always been a believer that a lot of times it's the radical activists
00:20:00.700
are the radical donors. And that's what kind of the politicians react to. If voters in Virginia
00:20:06.840
decide that a guy who fantasized about killing a political opponent and his kids, if he gets
00:20:13.260
elected, I'm going to have a real trouble. I mean, that's going to be difficult for me to
00:20:18.540
understand how you justify it. Like I get it. You know, you vote along party lines, but it's not
00:20:23.380
like these voters are going to the polls, Tim, and don't know. This is the number one story.
00:20:27.800
Every single voter knows about it. If you want to do a split ticket, cause you can't vote
00:20:31.680
for him, but you're a Democrat. I can at least understand that. But to cast your vote for
00:20:36.280
a guy who says he wants to put a bullet in the children's head of your opponent. That's
00:20:42.280
insane to me. And the fact that we even have to say it, think about how wild that is 20
00:20:46.540
years ago. I hope. And I think this person will be run from public life. Now Democrats are
00:20:52.620
figuring out a way to spin it and justify supporting them. Like you said, not one endorsement
00:21:02.400
He's going up in the polls. He's up in the polls now among Democrats.
00:21:07.220
You know, it's funny. We're laughing, but it's like a guy, a Democrat is exposed to having
00:21:12.700
the literal Totenkopf on his chest and among Democrats his polling improves. I wonder what
00:21:17.800
that says about the Democrat voter base and their political inclinations.
00:21:21.360
Yeah. And this whole idea that they are the party of peace, I think not only did 2024 kind
00:21:26.820
of move the needle on that, but every day we're seeing more and more of this, doubling down
00:21:30.840
on the bad bets. But it's just who the party's become. Tim, I really don't know if they're
00:21:35.440
going to be a national party unless they start to pivot away from the crazy stuff. But the
00:21:39.280
radicals have them by the horns right now. They're doubling down on all the woke nonsense.
00:21:44.260
And I'm here for it, right? Is somebody trying to elect a liberty-minded Republican? Sure.
00:21:48.540
But I'm just waiting. When are they going to pivot back? I don't see it.
00:21:52.420
This is my joke. It's not really a joke. But, you know, when these Democrats call people on the
00:21:56.980
right Nazis, my response is, I know you don't actually think I'm a Nazi. And when they say,
00:22:03.160
how do you know I don't think that? Because if I was, you'd vote for me. We've seen it in Maine.
00:22:08.220
When they falsely accuse a conservative of being a Nazi, what they're really saying is to the normies,
00:22:13.100
don't vote for him. But I got to be honest. You know, I think it was Crystal Ball, you know,
00:22:18.100
podcaster said, she'd rather vote for the guy with a regrettable tattoo, that's how she described it,
00:22:23.980
than a politician who supported actual genocide. And it's like, well, look, that's fine if you want
00:22:29.820
to accuse Israel of genocide. They're both. Like, both candidates are representing that in your view,
00:22:37.160
if that's what your argument is. But they're voting for it with a smile on their faces, because I don't
00:22:40.460
think they ever really opposed it, especially the anti-Israel cohort on the Democratic side.
00:22:45.300
I think that's largely what motivates them, to be honest. And I think this guy in Maine,
00:22:49.860
again, by all means, criticized Israel. But I'm going to say in this particular instance,
00:22:53.480
this guy's very anti-Israel. He probably hates Jews. And he's got a totenkopf on his chest for 18
00:22:58.880
years. That's not an accident. You don't accidentally get that. I don't believe it for a second.
00:23:03.840
And I think a lot of these Democrats are probably thinking,
00:23:06.200
yeah, okay, well, we hate Israel, too. And so they're going to vote for him for that reason.
00:23:11.360
Well, and I think in the past, people would want to distance themselves from radical lunatics like
00:23:16.400
this. But now they look at the idea of, well, the Supreme Court is that important. Passing
00:23:21.460
legislation in the U.S. Senate is that important. This is our guy. They think loyalty matters more
00:23:26.480
than decency. I mean, that's the Democrat Party of today. But like you said, this guy's had that
00:23:31.420
tattoo for 18 years. The mental gymnastics you have to do to be able to spin why you still support
00:23:38.600
that person, because behind the scenes, you know, that's your best shot at winning the seat
00:23:42.640
is wild. But that's what they do. And they continue to do it.
00:23:46.380
You know, it's a cult. It really is. And the right, the MAGA group has an element of this to
00:23:51.960
a certain degree. But it's a minority on the right. Some prominent individuals will defend Trump
00:23:57.560
literally no matter what he does, even when he does bad things or makes mistakes. The left is,
00:24:02.460
it's the dominant. I was talking to a guy, maybe I'll end up hearing about this, but there's a guy
00:24:08.100
that I know, he's an older guy, he's a boomer. And he was complaining to me that my, Tim Katz signed
00:24:13.540
the press corps press agreement. And his question was, if every other news organization refused to do
00:24:19.680
it, it's wrong for you to do it. And he's a lot, he's entitled to his opinion, but his opinion is
00:24:26.120
based on what the, what the people do, not on what is true. And this is what I see largely of the
00:24:31.400
Democrats. They don't care about policy. They don't care what is true. They care what their group think
00:24:36.480
is. And if the group says, we are taking an action, don't you dare do otherwise, otherwise you
00:24:42.880
are our enemy. That's all they're voting on. So if a progressive guy's got a literal Nazi tattoo and
00:24:48.740
seems to be a Nazi, they're like, doesn't matter. Group thinks, says it's okay. We support him.
00:24:55.560
That's what we are trying to defeat. Now you have the challenge for you, Cliff, and for everybody
00:24:58.380
else who's voting is trying to convince moral moderates and conservatives to vote based on
00:25:06.040
the merits. It's very difficult for liberals. It's just do as we say, because we're, we're,
00:25:11.580
we're the majority. They say yes. And Tim, you're, you're hitting on something that most people
00:25:15.960
would understand, which is when they changed all the rules during COVID to, you know, have these
00:25:20.240
longer elections. And I'm not even saying they did this intentionally. They probably did. Yeah.
00:25:25.100
What happens is they made it more about collecting ballots and just getting people to play on their
00:25:30.120
team because you have more time to do that. You have less time to individually target one day where
00:25:35.320
you can message and figure out how do you talk to people about issues, get them to care. When you have
00:25:39.560
these long election seasons, it really helps those that do have the group think because they don't even
00:25:45.320
want you to spend time. It's just vote for our party, vote for our party. And we, as Republicans
00:25:50.000
are finally doing the same thing. I mean, obviously we're talking about issues, but it benefits them
00:25:54.800
because they're just rack up as much as you can. They don't even want you to look at the name of
00:25:58.280
the candidate. Just vote for the party. Republicans want to talk about the issues. It's a much tougher
00:26:03.140
sell. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do the work, but we got to grind to get those votes because the Dems
00:26:07.700
just kind of, they get in line at the trough, man. And they just go vote.
00:26:10.540
So you've got this Prop 50 in California now where they want to basically eliminate,
00:26:15.820
what is it, all the remaining Republican seats in the state. And I think they'll be able to do it
00:26:21.060
because this is what happens when you create a uniparty state, a single party controlled state.
00:26:28.000
Over a long enough period of time, moderate to conservative individuals flee the area,
00:26:32.500
be it a city, state, county, or otherwise, making it easier and easier for one party to win every
00:26:37.800
election. And then they entrench what remains of their politics. They're going to turn California
00:26:42.740
into a universally Democrat uniparty state. And they're going to try and manipulate federal
00:26:48.620
elections to a great degree. What are we seeing with the Republican response? I mean,
00:26:53.440
you think the Voting Rights Act, there's some speculation that the Voting Rights Act
00:26:57.340
is effectively overturned by the Supreme Court. Republicans could gain 20 seats. Democrats could
00:27:03.060
lose 20 seats, creating a permanent Republican majority in the federal government.
00:27:06.220
I'm a believer in fighting, right? I think the narrative the left tries to say is that,
00:27:12.200
oh, for years, the left has been fair. And now all of a sudden, the right's being aggressive. It's
00:27:15.880
completely bonkers. The left has used the rules to benefit them when it comes to gerrymandering
00:27:20.740
for decades. And Republicans have always been afraid of being called racist. We're afraid of
00:27:25.380
being called misogynistic. You know, oh, if we do this, come on, guys, fight with the rules you can
00:27:30.260
fight with. And a lot of this is not even at the federal level. Yes, they've just done that with the
00:27:34.160
Voting Rights Act. But a lot of this, governors could take action today. Legislatures could take
00:27:39.000
action today. You just saw it in North Carolina. They're pushing with the state legislature to
00:27:43.160
change it. But we need to be on offense in every state. That doesn't mean we're doing anything
00:27:46.800
illegal. But the whole narrative that the left follows the rules and now we're going to try to
00:27:51.520
steal seats, they have been following the rules and gerrymandering to benefit them for decades.
00:27:56.760
It's time we fight back to follow the rules, gerrymander how you need to. Every seat's having
00:28:03.120
the same amount of population, but do what they do to create the maps instead of being afraid
00:28:08.000
of being called some sort of name and fight to win. You should have these seats fight.
00:28:13.500
You know, I love about this. Newsom said that Trump is rigging the election. And my response is,
00:28:19.100
um, how is it that by simply watching polling locations, the outcome of the election changes?
00:28:25.480
It's almost as if what they're arguing is, if you watch us, we won't be able to cheat.
00:28:31.560
So you're rigging the election. Yeah, they try to scare you by thinking that this is like a
00:28:36.440
reference to Jim Crow laws where like people would stand at the polls to intimidate people. It's like,
00:28:40.780
no, listen, they're literally saying they want to watch it. But look, some of the activists and
00:28:44.940
donors on the left, they love that garbage from Newsom, right? See, Trump's trying to intimidate.
00:28:49.480
That's what this is all about. The DOJ has done this for decades, sending people in. They're just
00:28:54.640
going to keep using talking points when it fits their narrative. I got to be honest, you know,
00:28:58.380
seeing the response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, seeing Jay Jones's inner thoughts and desires about
00:29:05.220
murdering children. I'm pretty sure if you went to Democrats, this is the scary thing. Let's go back
00:29:12.780
in time. I'll put it like this. There were accusations that people who are vote counting
00:29:18.360
were cheating for the Democrats. And the left argues there's no conspiracy that's crazy. And
00:29:24.460
my response is that doesn't need to be a conspiracy. Democrats just know what to do and they're willing
00:29:29.900
to do it. So some random woman who hates Republicans, she's in a polling location counting ballots and
00:29:37.080
she goes, I'm going to disqualify this Trump vote because this is smudged. I think it says
00:29:42.200
Bowdoin, but he means Biden. It's good. And as long as that bias exists among Democrats and not
00:29:46.820
among Republicans, Democrats are going to favor themselves in every election. It's called a
00:29:51.380
standalone complex where all of these people take an action in a singular direction without being
00:29:56.800
prompted to do so. I think that's a problem we face. If you go to Democrats and say,
00:30:02.360
I bet if you poll Democrats, should the Democrats cheat to win elections to stop Republicans from
00:30:10.040
getting power? I bet you'd get at least a third to say yes. And the next third would think yes,
00:30:15.480
but say no, because they'd be embarrassed. Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs. And it reminds
00:30:20.220
me of when we poll people on the left and say, is political violence sometimes, sometimes justified?
00:30:26.600
And the fact that even more than zero percent of people say that is wackadoo. But yeah,
00:30:31.200
I think you're right. I never heard it breaking down like that. And I think you're right where
00:30:34.020
it's like you have enough of these people radicalized and thinking that for the betterment
00:30:38.520
of the democracy, as they would call it, we must do this. We must cheat to win. It doesn't mean
00:30:43.880
there's some wizard of Oz pulling the strings. It's just they have the opportunity there. And look,
00:30:48.680
we see this in county after county. This is why I believe we need the most extremely secure
00:30:53.560
elections possible, the most transparent, because yeah, you're going to have bad actors,
00:30:57.480
right? You're going to have individuals doing this. And there's not really a solution other
00:31:01.080
than open the books, figure out systems that people can trust. And at the end of the day,
00:31:05.280
you want your citizens to trust the results of the election. And everything Trump's doing
00:31:09.980
is enhancing transparency, period. It's going to be tough. So just final thoughts,
00:31:15.200
what do you think is going to happen in Jersey? And where can everybody find you?
00:31:18.700
Yeah, Jersey, I think it's gonna be a nail biter. We need everyone to get out and vote for Jack
00:31:22.220
Cineroli. If folks want to sponsor a ballot chaser, njchase.com. I'm on X at Maloney. Tim,
00:31:28.360
as always, appreciate you letting me get the word out here. And I appreciate the show and the
00:31:32.840
audience. Well, right on, man. Thanks for hanging out. And we'll see you soon.
00:31:40.000
That, of course, is Cliff Maloney doing the work that needs to be done in New Jersey. My friends,
00:31:46.280
let me just say this as we wrap things up. You got to get out and vote. You just absolutely have to do it.
00:31:51.560
I know it's an uphill battle. It can be demoralizing at times. Sometimes it feels like,
00:31:56.140
what's even the point? Because we need the avalanche. The Democrats have the avalanche
00:32:01.340
every single day. The grains of sand that just move, like we were talking about. A thousand
00:32:07.000
people. No one needs to tell these Democrats what to do. They're willing to break the law to win.
00:32:12.280
Republicans are not. And you shouldn't. It just means that we need our own avalanche.
00:32:16.580
You may be but a single snowflake in that avalanche. But without you, there isn't one.
00:32:22.920
So make sure if you're in California, if you're in Virginia, if you're in Maine, if you're in
00:32:27.660
New Jersey, you go and vote. You bring three of your friends who tell your friends to go vote.
00:32:33.700
Everybody go vote. I believe we've got, gearing up, DeVorey Darkens,
00:32:38.140
who is going live right now. Let's get that raid for you guys. Smash the like button.

00:32:57.800
Brian Shapiro, liberal guy. It's going to be a great debate on modern dating. And I don't think
00:33:03.060
it's going to go the way you think it will. I think it's going to get very, very interesting.
00:33:05.820
So again, thank you all so much for hanging out. We're back tonight,
00:33:09.440
