00:03:24.180What he do just months before the election, Stephen, he went and drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is supposed to be used for dire need, hurricanes, natural disasters when we need it the most.
00:03:34.900So he manmade this crisis and then tried to fix it himself.
00:03:39.100Whereas President Trump, there's a lot of pushback.
00:03:41.200And we're going to be hearing about it, I think, for the next two weeks, Stephen.0.89
00:03:44.560Was the Iran war the right choice?0.93
00:03:51.420And, you know, I think it's going to be all questions I don't have the answer to.
00:03:54.120And I don't think you do either, because I think it was a decision he made behind closed doors based on information, you know, he was presented with.
00:04:06.300But as you and I were speaking earlier today, this is all part of history, isn't it?
00:04:12.080Yeah. I mean, historically, statistically, the sitting president, regardless of whether they're Republican or Democrat, they end up losing typically the House and many times the Senate.
00:04:22.760Obama lost big time. George Bush lost big time.
00:04:26.080So, you know, that's that's kind of been what's predicted. If they can pull it off, Donald Trump is the man that could pull it off.
00:04:34.260But he's got a lot of headwinds. Right. And going back to that energy that you were talking about, I mean, the first thing that President Biden did was shut down the Keystone Pipeline, killing 10,000 American jobs.
00:04:45.920And I read just this morning, President Trump said, we are very close to a solid deal with the country of Canada.
00:04:52.960And one of the first things we want to do is resurrect the Keystone Pipeline and Canada is going to pay for it.
00:04:59.040So I know that the president is very conscious about middle America, lower income people and gas prices.
00:05:07.180Unfortunately, we've got this Iran war that's gone on longer than anyone expected.
00:05:12.100we've got uh the russia ukraine war going on way longer than anyone expected and now
00:05:18.680they're trading missiles against electrical power and oil and oil refineries and now we've we've got
00:05:25.980a glut of oil but we have refinery problems and so he's going to have to chew through that but
00:05:33.040from everything i'm seeing from energy secretary uh chris wright they know this and they're they're
00:05:38.760going to be putting their shoulder to the wheel and pushing forward to get this thing solved for
00:05:43.560us yeah you know it was among the some of the things that we you know we were talking about
00:05:47.900today was uh um fraud you know president trump uh had his war on fraud went after the fraud
00:05:54.120but did it move the needle enough you know was it enough fraud uh you know did they go after
00:06:01.460enough of the fraudsters did they go after these people enough yeah i guess that's a question that
00:06:06.820the voters are answering right now. Yeah, I think the fraud is really important to people. I genuinely
00:06:12.840do. But I think their own financial situation is more important to them. Right. So, for example,
00:06:20.040they don't want any more fraud and they do want arrests and accountability. But arresting a Somali1.00
00:06:25.980in Minnesota doesn't make bread less expensive or gas less expensive. So it's like you don't want to0.93
00:06:33.180not go after fraud. That's what the Democrats have been doing, right? They allow it. They
00:06:37.100rig elections off of it. At the same time, it comes down to the economy. And you know what
00:06:43.380is really interesting to me is President Trump is underwater on inflation, but he's above water
00:06:49.500on the economy. So it's like people trust him in order to get jobs and manufacturing and
00:06:55.960investment going. But at the same time, they're hurting in their wallet.
00:06:59.620and and as i say you know every election comes down to steven people voting with their wallets
00:07:06.000for those who are joining us we are live tonight steve uh we've got we're up on steven gardener's
00:07:10.260channel steve i just sent you over i'm not sure if it's populating out to your right channel i just
00:07:13.940uh texted you over the link um for your audience i'm not sure if it's going out on the right one
00:07:19.360uh technical difficulties are uh our normality in the uh era of things so steve gets that together
00:07:25.940No, I do completely agree with you. It's it was something that President Trump tackled on from the beginning, the fraud, the waste, the abuse in which was so rampant when he came in and he's spearheaded it with J.D. Vance.
00:07:46.700He's got J.D. Vance at the forefront of it, trying to to get to the bottom of it.
00:07:51.360J.D. Vance is also sitting there waiting to possibly run for president in twenty twenty eight.
00:07:56.220But there's so much up in the air right now is, you know, if they could pull through some seats tonight, if they get absolutely, you know, washed tonight, you know how the night winds up going.
00:08:06.600I think that paints a big picture for twenty twenty eight.
00:08:09.420now, the Democrats never let a crisis go to waste. So the next two years, even if the Democrats do
00:08:14.360see some sort of power, they will find a way to do something ridiculously stupid to show the0.99
00:08:20.160voters, listen, you know, we're not trustworthy. You should never trust us. We completely fooled0.97
00:08:25.080you. You should never trust us again. Yeah. You know, I think J.D. Vance is doing a lot of good.
00:08:33.400I mean, if you let's talk about this for a second. I want to get your thoughts on this. So
00:08:37.200President Trump, no president in my lifetime has fought this hard to try to win the midterms.
00:08:43.720With that, he could have sat back. He didn't have to spend $450 million. He didn't have to
00:08:50.160do 29 rallies in 30 days. He didn't have to single-handedly run 40 tele-rallies.
00:08:59.980Mike Johnson went to 42 different areas. I believe J.D. Vance was in over 20.
00:09:05.740In the meantime, they're still running the government. They're still negotiating with Iran, Canada, Mexico. They're being hit by the cartel on the southern border. Like a lot's been going on. But do you think that I know that people appreciate what he's done in the midterms. And I do think if if there is a loss, he has helped mitigate a lot of those losses. But how successful do you think the midterm rallies were?
00:09:31.240um you know i i guess we'll be able to tell in in a few hours from now i'm not entirely sure
00:09:38.100was it a little too late i'm not entirely sure i don't put as much though of this blame on0.79
00:09:43.580president trump as some of these black pillars do i put a lot of the blame on people like john
00:09:48.700a lot of people like uh mike johnson who quite frankly couldn't pass president trump's agenda
00:09:55.000and it's not because they couldn't pass it it's because they didn't care to pass it so i think
00:09:59.100you put a lot of the blame uh if if this does end up the way i you know that it's certainly looking
00:10:05.160like it's going to go tonight that you do have to shift a lot of the blame uh to john thune now
00:10:10.100could you in turn shift that to president trump because he's allowed to thune uh allowed thune
00:10:15.200to run you know buck wild and do whatever he feels like yeah i guess you know you could do it there
00:10:20.360but i do think if like i said if this ends the way it does tonight that they've predicted with
00:10:25.480this massive blue wave, there is going to be a reckoning to be had in the Senate and in the
00:10:33.960House. We're already hearing rumblings of Jim Jordan trying to move up in leadership on the
00:10:38.580House side of things. We're hearing rumblings of possible John Thune being ousted as Senate
00:10:44.780majority leader. So I do put a lot of the blame, Stephen, on these two people who, quite frankly,
00:10:50.940I don't think pulled their weight. Yeah, I agree with you. I think if they're able to keep the
00:10:56.860majority, John Thune, you you have served for many years. You have been holding on to the
00:11:02.880coattails of Mitch McConnell, a Trump hater. But at the same time, like you, you didn't get things
00:11:10.720passed. And so it's it's time to it's time to get things done. Now, the Save America Act, I think a
00:11:20.620lot of people wanted that even democrats wanted that yeah um and so we we've we've got to get
00:11:26.980that thing passed if we get a majority and i don't think that john thune is the guy to get it done
00:11:30.860yeah i think you're absolutely right folks we are live tonight we're live tonight on the great
00:11:35.220america show we are live tonight on the stephen gardner show channel uh be sure to tap in let us
00:11:39.940know where you're tuned in from on the chat if you're on stephen's chat we're going to come to

00:11:46.060going to take a quick break here on the other side of this quick break we've got much more to
00:11:49.180come we've got some updates on some big races that are happening uh as well as polls that are set to
00:11:53.840close in about 15 minutes so stay with us we're coming right back uh here live tonight with the
00:11:58.640great steven gardener thanks everybody for staying with us here live tonight we've got some updates
00:12:08.960on some races uh and we appreciate each and every one of you guys joining us live uh if you're
00:12:13.620joining us on steven gardener's channel if you're joining us on the great america show we truly do
00:12:18.260appreciate it so as it says right now uh with the uh new york times how they have it uh called uh
00:12:24.64043 safe seats for the democrats uh 32 safe seats for the republicans the republicans holding that
00:12:30.160seat uh in florida ashley moody's seat um with 95 of the vote in imagine that 95 of the vote in
00:12:39.380and they are able to call a race on election night i can't remember the last time uh we've seen that
00:12:44.860Um, also John Ossoff, they've called that race, uh, down in Georgia, uh, North Carolina,
00:12:50.860Roy Cooper, uh, outlasting Michael Watley, former RNC chair, uh, Mark Warner winning
00:12:59.000And they've called that race for Stratton in Illinois.
00:13:01.900No surprises there as well as a New Hampshire being called, uh, president Trump reportedly,
00:13:06.980Steven, not happy with a New Hampshire being called, uh, so early as what he said, uh,
00:13:13.120against john sununu a household name in new hampshire uh as it sits right now with 32 percent
00:13:18.900of the votes in 60 uh 40 yeah um sununu i i think could do really well um because of the the name
00:13:30.160recognition the fact that he was a former i believe state senator um it's not like it's an
00:13:36.640anti-Trump uh channel or or anything like that or excuse me state or anything like that at the same
00:13:44.200time uh it does seem to be leaning a little bit more democrat and and so we'll have to figure
00:13:49.820that out um can you guys can you guys let me know in the comments if you can hear me uh on my end
00:13:55.620i'm i'm showing that there's a thousand you know 1200 people in here they're watching but then on
00:14:02.160my own channel it it's showing that there's only 400 people so i don't know if we're having
00:14:07.380technical issues uh you know what it looks like it's going through on two streams uh for some
00:14:12.200reason it looks like you get a thousand at one and 400 and the other so nonetheless they're still
00:14:16.500there i don't know uh technically cancel the other one that's kind of kind of weird technical
00:14:22.460difficult steve steve it's uh it's all part of the plan you know people see people don't like
00:14:28.220perfect okay they don't like perfect hair they don't like things just aren't meant to be perfect
00:14:33.040there's a there's meant to be uh bumps in the road and you know it's all part of it is what uh what
00:14:37.860you know what matters is we're bringing people uh what they want to hear and uh bringing people
00:14:41.920the news so the big race we're waiting on steve is texas and what's going to happen in texas with
00:14:50.400James Tallarico and Ken Paxton. I just don't see how the people of Texas can vote for James
00:14:59.140Tallarico. Yeah, I agree. I think Tallarico is one of the worst candidates that we've seen.
00:15:07.200One of my worries is they focus so much on this guy believes that God is non-binary,
00:15:14.020that there's six genders. Again, if it comes down to the economy, I mean, you don't want a weirdo1.00
00:15:21.540that has really weird Christian beliefs. Like I would rather not have a Christian than a Christian1.00
00:15:26.720with weird beliefs, right? But I think the major problem is, did they do enough on the economy1.00
00:15:33.040or did they lean too much on Trump? Did they lean too much on God's non-binary,0.70
00:15:38.660Talafrico is a weirdo. I don't know. I guess we're all going to just have to wait and see1.00
00:15:44.900what is going on. But as far as I can tell, a lot of the voting data looked like it was going to go
00:15:54.420to Ken Paxton. And Seth Keschel told me, do not, you know, don't freak out. Let everybody close
00:16:01.420the polls and get all of the data in before you have any kind of a freak out, because they
00:16:07.360typically end up dumping stuff to make the Democrats look good. And then Trump kind of
00:16:12.700comes in and wins in the end, unless they rig things and, you know, count votes in the middle
00:16:17.500of the night. And so I don't know. I don't know where things are going to go with Texas. I don't
00:16:24.540know that Ken Paxton was the strongest candidate, but he is a good guy. He's a great attorney
00:16:29.100general. I think he's going to be a warrior for President Trump. And Trump has been down there
00:16:34.780three, maybe even four times. So again, I don't see how Texas suddenly says, you know what? I'm
00:16:41.240going to vote for Greg Abbott, but you know, I'm going to go ahead and vote for Tallarico. I mean,
00:16:46.320like such a difference and they haven't had a Democrat Senator for decades. So it would be
00:16:52.640very weird for that to suddenly crop up. And, and now all of a sudden we've got Tallarico
00:16:58.260out in Washington, DC. Yeah. You know, it's actually more common than not. And we're going
00:17:03.640to see that. I think the crossing of the aisles, I think we're going to see that in Michigan with
00:17:10.980people voting for Mike Rogers and then crossing over and voting for the Democrat over there.
00:17:18.020I think we saw a little bit in Florida with people voting for Ashley Moody there and then
00:17:23.600crossing over and voting for David Jolly, who has really sold himself as a middle of the road
00:17:28.100Democrat and not this Marxist Democrat. Although I'm not really sure what the difference is. I
00:17:32.520I think I've asked you this before. You know, what's the difference between a modern Democrat and a Marxist Democrat?
00:17:36.780Because, you know, they're both selling the same, you know, the same Kool-Aid.
00:17:41.060As it looks right now, we've got about 38, we'll call 40 percent of the vote in Tallarico leads Pax in 58 to 40.
00:17:50.640Looking over at the gubernatorial race, same thing, 38 percent of the vote in there, 56 percent to 40, about 43 percent.
00:17:59.140So you've got, like I just said, you've got Abbott polling almost three percentage points higher than you've got Paxton there.
00:18:08.240And I think probably what it was was that the hate campaign at the end selling Paxton as a cheater and he's this and he's that and he's a cheat.
00:18:20.220And he said, I've got news for people. Ken Paxton has fought harder for truth, justice and the American way and against the covid tyrants, Stephen.
00:18:30.200And, you know, this, you know, you've had Paxton on many times.
00:18:33.860He him and Andrew Bailey from Missouri were the two hardest fighting attorney generals that this country has ever seen when it came time to fight back against the tyrants and covid.
00:18:46.800Yeah, absolutely. Can I make can I make one announcement, John?
00:18:50.220So for some reason, YouTube has opened two different shows.
00:18:55.800One of them, they're saying, we can hear you.
00:30:42.860And I think it's extremely disrespectful to the office of the presidency, whereas the Democrats up until the very end, when they pushed Joe Biden off the metaphorical cliff, revered him.
00:36:51.000But it's great to see him prevailing there because he had a little bit of
00:36:55.000adversity there, them too, running the hate campaigns against Byron Donalds
00:36:59.380in Florida, the similar ones that we've seen run against Ken Paxson. The Democrats don't have a
00:37:04.440plan for America, Stephen. I mean, tell me if you disagree. Their plan is to just divide and
00:37:10.300conquer. And it's what we've seen for the last 10 years, 10 plus years now that President Trump's
00:37:14.780been in the picture. Yeah, they have no plan. Even right now, if you ask them, what is your
00:37:22.560plan to make life more affordable? If you're telling me that this entire midterm is on
00:37:28.120affordability. What is your plan? And they say, we're not going to impeach Trump. No, hold on.
00:37:33.460I asked you, what is your plan to make life more affordable? OK, we are going to impeach Trump.
00:37:38.820Like they have no plan. All they had to do was not be Donald Trump. But they've literally ran on
00:37:45.420nothing. At least Trump is saying, here's what I've done and here's what I still want to do if
00:37:51.020you keep me in power. But the Democrats, they've run on nothing, literally nothing.
00:37:56.040As they usually do. I want to take a look now because we just had the race called up in New York for governor and the people in New York, my fellow New Yorkers never seem to learn their lesson, Stephen.
00:38:08.700We've got just 13 percent of the vote in, but it's already been called for Kathy Hochul.
00:38:13.880When will these people learn their lesson? I mean, you're lucky you live in a little bit more of a free state than me.
00:38:18.500But when will these people learn their lesson? You know, I was talking with Grant Cardone one day and we were talking about, you know, like how bad it's gotten.
00:38:26.040And Grant said to me, he said, listen, it could always get worse.
00:38:38.440Like, I can get into a car accident, and then I can get out of my car thinking, okay, that's the worst day.
00:38:42.700And then, oh, God forbid, I get hit by the next car that comes down the street, and so on and so forth.
00:38:47.700And I was like, you know, Grant, I've never thought about it like that, but it is.
00:38:51.880how much worse does it need to get under these Democrats for people to wake up and realize how
00:38:58.420really bad they are for America? I don't know. It doesn't make any sense to me.
00:39:05.100I mean, OK, let's go back to the affordability issue, right? You can you can be very mad at
00:39:11.740Donald Trump over the gas prices and a war that maybe you didn't want. But he's doing a lot on
00:39:19.080the economy to bring things in. There's a reason that people still trust Trump and the Republicans
00:39:24.180on the economy. And he ran on, I'm going to lower your taxes. These Democrats are running on,
00:39:30.740we will raise your taxes. The government will be more involved in your life. The government
00:39:36.180is the answer. And on our side, we're saying, no, the government is the problem. So I don't know,
00:39:42.540I can't get my brain to think like a Democrat. I try to, and I get very frustrated. Even as a
00:39:50.680libertarian, I get very frustrated because I go, why would you vote to increase your taxes? Why
00:40:00.020would you give the shovel back to the group that dug us into the inflation? They want to blame
00:40:06.260Donald Trump for a lot of the inflation. If you look at any graph, you could ask a child,
00:40:12.540Where do you see the major uptick? Oh, it was under Joe Biden. They can tell you. Children can understand this. But then it comes down to voters and voters go, you know what? I'm going to give the Democrats another chance. It doesn't make any sense to my brain.
00:40:30.360I want to see if we could see in there, Stephen, if you could see in the audience, you could see race has been called in Kentucky's four.
00:40:37.120That was one you and I were talking about, the Ed Galler in race, that seat that he took over for Thomas Massey, who's just come out as this terrible Republican.
00:40:49.440He cared more about this Epstein stuff, which we cared about, but he made this whole charade out of it for absolutely no reason.0.54
00:41:25.220He reminds me of a more charming Rand Paul. Right. But then this Epstein thing came out and all of the sudden, I don't know if the the women at the conference, the press conferences he would hold that refused to name a single person.
00:41:44.240I don't know if they got in his mind, but all of a sudden he decided, you know what I'm going to do?
00:41:49.840I'm going to pretend as if Donald Trump was in the Epstein files, as if Donald Trump was guilty.
00:41:56.240And he started this pressure campaign against President Trump as if he was in there.0.59
00:42:01.700Well, now six million documents have been released and Donald Trump's not connected to Epstein's disgusting, perverted behavior.
00:44:15.400He could cure cancer and half the country already hated him, right?
00:44:19.460So it's not like he lost all of those people.
00:44:22.680He has lost some people that were probably independents that said, you know what?
00:44:28.200I want the border closed. I want no more, you know, foreign wars that we get entangled in these
00:44:35.840endless wars. I'm going to vote for this guy. And so he's lost some favor with that, with that
00:44:42.420group. Right. But when it comes to hardcore MAGA base, he still has over a 90 percent approval
00:44:48.860rating. Well, you know, even though he's the president for everyone, that's the group that
00:44:54.100he is trying most to deliver for. And I was reading today, they put out a list of over 100
00:45:00.100campaign promises that he's kept and others that he still needs time to get to. And so I don't I
00:45:06.900don't know the answer to that. I just know that he's not done anything that has made me want to
00:45:13.020abandon him. I don't love the Iran war. I've been clear about that. I don't love the high gas prices,
00:45:18.940But I also don't like having a nuclear weapon that can hit our military bases in Europe.
00:45:24.960I don't like a Europe. I don't like, you know, taking out Saudi Arabia or Israel or Japan or any.
00:45:32.380I mean, we know they have the missiles that can reach into there.
00:45:35.560And so, again, I don't know where he sits.
00:45:38.540But for me, as someone in the MAGA base with 11 different Make America Great hats on my desk right here off screen, I'm still with the guy.
00:45:47.360I don't expect somebody to do 100%. I think that is unrealistic. But is he still my guy? Yes. Has he done the majority of what I want? Yes. Does he still need time? Yes. I want to give him that time. That's why I voted.
00:46:02.260Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, nobody keeps 100% of the promises they make. And the Democrats, even today, I mean, they promised health care for all. They promised all this BS that they know they're not going to be able to deliver because President Trump will never sign it into law. So the voters once again fell for the sham.
00:47:08.080Dallas County's got about 80% of the vote in.
00:47:10.060So some outlying areas, but it is, I think, a little bit more on the promising side that you've got the deep blue Bexar County,
00:47:18.82077% of the vote in Houston County, 76% of the vote in Dallas with 80% of the vote in all predominantly blue areas.
00:47:27.540But not promising news for Paxton, you know, as we sit here right now.
00:47:34.460Let's talk about that a little bit because George Bush came out, supported Tala Frico.
00:47:39.820The whole family came out supporting Tala Frico.0.95
00:47:41.760John Cornyn wouldn't lift a finger for Paxton because he was a sore loser, upset with President Trump.
00:47:49.960Do you think this would have been a very winnable race should these people have come out?
00:47:56.400People like Karl Rove, who, by the way, is sitting on Fox News right now on this panel of plastic surgery victims, coming out and supporting Tallarico.
00:48:09.600Yeah. So here's what I think is going on. You've got the Bush family that still hates Donald Trump very much. You've got George Bush, who after all of the Middle Eastern wars went into hiding. His family, however, has still stayed in politics.
00:48:26.560They made a decision. Okay, we're going to come out against Donald Trump. I don't know that they
00:48:32.880actually like Talafrico, but they definitely don't like Donald J. Trump, right? Then you've got
00:48:39.640sour grapes, John Cornyn. He was not voting with President Trump. He was he was a very difficult
00:48:46.040person. And he was like best friends with John Thune. Yeah, but John Thune seemed to be doing
00:48:53.580more than John Cornyn. And so when the opportunity to pass the Save America Act was on the table,
00:49:01.620President Trump made a decision. I think I can get the Save America Act passed if we keep the
00:49:07.100majority and we get Ken Paxton. So he rolled the dice and he gambled. I don't know that it's going
00:49:14.360to pay off. We still have a million plus votes that need to come in. You make a good point. A
00:49:19.320lot of the blue areas have already voted. We need the red areas now to come in. But this is a
00:49:26.320difficult one. I don't think that Texas is going more blue, but there is this battle between the
00:49:33.940Bush dynasty, which is very strong, and the John Cornyn multiple decades of being in there.
00:49:40.680So I don't know. I thought Ken Paxton could pull it out. I'm still not willing to walk away from
00:49:46.880it just yet but like you said it's not looking good yeah i trust me nobody wants paxton to win
00:49:52.040more than me i love the man i've gotten to know him over the years you've gotten to know him over
00:49:55.580the years he's done like i said done more for uh trying to save america and our children fight0.96
00:49:59.780back against the transgender tyranny and all of it and uh what do you what role do you think steven1.00
00:50:06.840you and i were talking about this earlier about some um friends that we've had um over the course0.77
00:50:11.300of this thing who you know started a black pill who have come out just anti-trump this anti-trump
00:50:16.720that, who quite honestly didn't put in that much effort when Joe Biden was destroying this country
00:50:22.120as they sat by and watched and laughed and made a joke about some of it. What role do you think
00:50:28.740they played in this whole thing? We see Alex Jones, one of them, who has gone completely
00:50:35.400rogue. You think they played a role in dissuading Republican voters in favor of Democrats?
00:50:42.740I do. You know, I think a couple of things I've kind of been game planning this out in my mind
00:50:50.700is, OK, so President Trump wins the popular vote. He wins the Electoral College. Everybody is really,
00:50:58.580really excited. Right. Doge starts finding all of this money and like people are really excited.
00:51:05.900And then the Epstein stuff gets started, right?
00:51:10.380And Trump kind of drags his feet on that.
00:51:13.900But I don't think he was going to have any problem.
00:51:16.440And then when they did the midnight hammer, I think a lot of people were like, whoa, wait a minute.0.94
00:51:21.720I was not expecting us to attack Iran.0.90
00:51:24.760I thought that they probably would, but I don't think a lot of Americans thought that he was going to do anything right.
00:51:31.940Then all of a sudden, Charlie Kirk is murdered.
00:51:35.300And all of a sudden, that's where this big division starts coming. And the main thing behind it is Israel. Does Israel control America? Does Israel control Charlie Kirk? Does Israel control Donald Trump? And you start seeing all of this anti-Israel start to pop up, right?0.62
00:51:54.060And then all of a sudden it's like, well, Epstein was Jewish and connected to Israel.
00:51:59.480And and, you know, so like that, that's where I saw a lot of this division starting.
00:52:03.960And then you start seeing Alex Jones, who I still like, but you start seeing him turning
00:52:09.840on Trump and the guy's got a megaphone.
00:52:12.660He gets more views than a lot of a lot of people.
00:52:15.620I mean, even Fox News, they've come out in the last week saying, we don't know what's
00:52:21.860But you've got you've got Alex Jones. You've got Nick Fuentes. Nick Fuentes. Big thing is Israel. And he's telling people stay home or actively vote Democrat. And then you start seeing this split where the older generation, they're against socialism and communism.
00:52:40.160they want to support Israel they believe in capitalism they believe in Trump and you see
00:52:46.060the younger generation start to go I don't know if this is my guy and is our guy being controlled
00:52:52.820by Benjamin Netanyahu right and so anyway this is where I start seeing the cracks and then when
00:52:59.380when we launched the Venezuela thing people were like oh I don't know but wow that thing that thing
00:53:06.040really went in our favor. That was really cool. Nobody died. And we got this guy that's responsible
00:53:12.000for the death of thousands of Americans because of drug stuff. We've got the Cartel del Sol.
00:53:18.120Maybe they're interfering in our elections. People give a pass. And then and then, you know,
00:53:23.360the Iran war thing starts and then boom, all of a sudden Trump's controlled by Israel again. That0.60
00:53:29.340all starts popping up again. So these are where I'm seeing the fractures within the conservative
00:53:34.940base, this incredible coalition that got President Trump the popular vote, the electoral college,0.97
00:53:41.140it all starts kind of being broken up by war and Israel and Epstein. And it's like just these0.93
00:53:48.160little fractures. But then, yes, you've got all of these black pillars going on, spreading all1.00
00:53:54.300of this crazy stuff. And then what is the ultimate thing? They start telling their huge bases of1.00
00:54:01.160people, vote Democrat or stay home. And I was like, this is bananas to me. Yeah, you're absolutely
00:54:08.480right. We're coming up on 930 Eastern time on the East Coast. We're taking a quick break here,
00:54:13.300Stephen. When we come back, I want to talk about we got some breaking news coming out of Georgia
00:54:17.540and we've got some news of Ron DeSantis weighing some comments on President Trump. I thought they
00:54:24.160settled the beef, but might not be apparently so. We're coming right back, folks, and we're live.
00:54:29.060We're going to try to get to your comments, Stephen's comments, my comments,
00:54:32.280before the end of tonight's show so we can interact with you guys a little bit
00:54:34.820because we do truly appreciate you guys joining us live.
00:54:37.420We know there's so many options for you to go to, Fox News not being one of them
00:54:54.920By the way, thanks for being with us live tonight,
00:54:56.460the Great America Show, the Stephen Gardner Show.
00:54:58.020we're trying to get to your questions live here we do appreciate you being with us steve some bad
00:55:02.500news to report out of uh uh georgia the first democrat governor elected in the state since
00:55:08.7601998 keisha lance bottoms will defeat uh rick jackson there your thoughts uh i mean she was
00:55:17.940predicted to win but i didn't think it would happen uh you know it's one thing to say okay
00:55:23.960uh we're a red state we're gonna pick a blue senator we're gonna pick a blue congressman
00:55:30.960um but now they've got two democrat senators and they've got a blue a democrat uh governor
00:55:42.260governor that i mean that tells me either there's shenanigans like there was in 2020 or
00:55:47.860the state of georgia has just shifted blue yeah and uh the the republican governor there didn't
00:55:55.960care brad raffensperger was uh key to uh all the fraud in 2020 and and 2024 didn't care to fix it
00:56:04.520so the only thing that tells me like you said is they're in on the cheat they don't care about
00:56:10.360securing our elections um some comments made by ron de santis this afternoon i thought rather
00:56:15.860interesting because I thought he and President Trump squashed their beef. Governor DeSantis
00:56:19.860said President Trump, sort of to blame if there's a blue wave, saying, quote, he obviously ran saying
00:56:26.760he wasn't going to do a Middle East war. And then he did. Yeah, I mean, some of this could be
00:56:34.520Ron DeSantis is expected to throw his hat in the ring to run for president again in in 2028.
00:56:40.800and you know the the war as i mentioned just before the the break the the war has been very
00:56:49.800divisive uh the midnight hammer thing people were really shocked but they're like okay i guess if
00:56:55.160we're done um okay you know so there's a lot of people that are like okay i believe that they had
00:57:02.680the uh the um uranium in order to make those weapons then you've got people that say they
00:57:10.640absolutely did not have that. So I think a lot of people are split on this. And I don't know that
00:57:16.540we're going to fully understand the truth for a while. But either way, when these gas prices went
00:57:22.840up and then they stayed up, I still believe that they're going to come down. When the fighting
00:57:27.700stopped in June, I mean, gas prices dropped really fast, right? And then now they've come down about
00:57:33.74070 cents by not attacking Iran again. But again, Iran is going to have to be dealt with. So this0.95
00:57:40.420is disappointing. This news out of Georgia is disappointing. The fact that Tallarico might win,
00:57:46.500that one has not been officially called yet. But, you know, every single state shifted more red
00:57:53.980in 2024. All of the data proved that. So is this the pendulum swinging back? Is this Republicans
00:58:02.280just saying, hey, we already put Trump in office. We're not going to go out and vote. Or is this a
00:58:09.440concerted effort to hold him accountable for a foreign war i don't know yeah i i think you bring
00:58:15.920up a a really good point there as we've got on the screen there for the audience to some of your
00:58:20.780chat from some of your great folks who have uh who've tuned into the show there so we give them
00:58:25.620a little shout out um do you think it's a blessing in disguise should the i you know i i often say
00:58:33.000I think it was better that President Trump won in 2024 rather than him winning in 2020 with the divided Congress, being able to get things done, you know, so on and so forth.
00:58:45.720Do you think this is maybe a blessing in disguise being the Democrats essentially won't be able to do anything, you know, with President Trump in power, but for a Republican hopeful in 2028?
00:58:59.000uh so i'm i'm really hopeful that he at least keeps the senate uh i mean again we started this
00:59:07.440show off by saying historically and statistically he should lose regardless of whether he's doing
00:59:13.300a good job or not he should lose right but but we want him to win but i i think if there is going to
00:59:20.060be a blessing in disguise if he loses the house they go crazy with the impeachments the lawsuits
00:59:27.440They're going to feel emboldened. They're going to double down on trans reopening the border, giving amnesty to 45 million immigrants in the country.0.87
00:59:37.740I think that pendulum swings back. We pick up a Marco Rubio or a J.D. Vance or somebody.
00:59:43.520So it could be what I have learned in 45 years of being alive is that you almost can't see a blessing until enough time goes by.
00:59:54.000Because when President Trump did not get to continue in 2020, I was heartbroken.0.98
01:00:01.000Suddenly, here I am, a journalist having to talk about yogurt for brains, Joe Biden and idiot Kamala Harris.0.99
01:00:32.160But I don't think a lot of us could see it until four years down the road.
01:00:36.140I don't know what will happen in 2028, but I sure hope it's not that they suddenly have all three branches, you know, that they have the House, the Senate and the presidency.
01:00:47.320and they packed the court because we didn't have the courage to nuke the filibuster and they put
01:00:52.94023 justices on there and and suddenly we never get anything done i do worry about that but is
01:00:59.520this a blessing in disguise yet it's just it's too soon it's too close to tell in my opinion
01:01:04.340your thoughts yeah people are writing in like oh uh you know obviously i'm not saying this is the
01:01:10.080outcome i wanted clearly i didn't i go out here every single day steven you do too uh advocating
01:01:14.600for the policies of President Trump and the Republican Party. It's not the outcome I want,
01:01:19.200but I do try to find a silver lining. Like I said, in 2020, if President Trump were to win
01:01:23.940and the election wasn't stolen from him like it was, what would he have been able to get done?
01:01:29.860Who would have then taken over as president in 2024? You run through all these different
01:01:35.020scenarios of what could have been, what should have been, and how bad things are,
01:02:17.180So polling about the polling about the same weight as John Husted.
01:02:21.920Your thoughts on that race in Ohio as Vivek did some rather interesting things and made some rather interesting comments about Americans as he was running for a great American state.
01:02:34.460Yeah. John Husted has been a great, a great senator. Sherrod Brown, however, was the guy just before him. And again, if there's if if some of these states are wanting to punish Trump or they're just not showing up and this is the result, you know, they're going to have to live with that.
01:02:53.360But, you know, Sherrod Brown had a lot of name recognition.
01:02:57.320He had a lot of policy behind him, not policy that I agree with, not policy that I want in my state of Utah.
01:03:05.580And then on Vivek Ramaswamy, you know, I really like Vivek.
01:03:10.280I think I interviewed him four times when he was running for president.
01:08:52.700South Carolina. So we do have some outstanding ones, but you look at it and the Democrats are
01:08:57.520six seats away from a safe hold or from a safe pickup of the Senate. So if you put an Oregon in
01:09:06.640there, which, you know, they're going to hold with Jeff Berkley, you know, they're 46. So then
01:09:14.460they got to pick up four. Will they chip off Minnesota? Then they need three. Will they chip
01:09:19.180off Michigan? Then they need two. So, you know, the math starts to get a little bit more difficult
01:09:26.000as you start to look at the picture. I don't want to be the one to bring the bad news, but
01:09:30.040I'd rather be honest with the viewers, Stephen, than lead them down a road. That's not true. And
01:09:34.200them be mad at us that you said we're going to win and we didn't. Yeah. I mean, the other the
01:09:40.400other thing is, is, you know, a lot of Republicans don't they don't show up in the midterm. They're
01:09:48.560very big on we don't want a Democrat president. Right. But I mean, and I'm not I'm not ragging
01:09:56.240on anybody and anybody that watches us is way more knowledgeable on politics than people that
01:10:02.720don't watch. But, you know, I've talked to people this week and they've said things to me like
01:10:08.640there's an election again. Wait, why do we have to vote to keep Trump in power? I thought we
01:10:14.760already voted for him. So I think, you know, a lot of people are not as into politics as you and I,
01:10:21.240those that watch your channel and my channel or listen to the podcast. They're just kind of going
01:10:26.640about their daily life and um if they've got a pay raise uh or they're paying less in tax they
01:10:35.240may not attribute that to republicans they might just think they had a better year financially
01:10:40.720um and so because you you have to remember in a lot of these blue areas the gas prices are higher
01:10:48.380than in red areas there's some there's some blue states where they're not honoring the no tax on
01:10:54.500tips, the no tax on overtime. So they're doing things to actively punish their own citizens
01:11:01.540in order to make Trump look bad. And that that strategy may be may be paying off.
01:11:07.800I don't know if you can see there, Stephen, but every single county that's that's come in so far
01:11:14.160that they've counted has shifted. Now, this looks exactly like it did in 2024 with the inverse of
01:11:20.000what it was whereas almost every single place was a shift to the right there's literally one place
01:11:25.200that i can find on this map that went further right this time around sumter county uh in florida
01:11:32.480west or west of orlando there um great americans i must say that moved six points to the right of
01:11:40.140where it was in 2024 uh that's not encouraging news you know to look at you know when we're
01:11:47.380waiting the results of texas when we're waiting the results of uh kansas and uh you know i think
01:11:55.000i guess the million dollar question is is could they survive you know these 29 point shift to
01:12:02.220the left 18 point shift to the left and i'm just going through random random counties here uh but
01:12:07.240we go to oklahoma which is a republican state rogers county 14 points to the left 19 points
01:12:13.520to the to the left Pittsburgh County 13 points Cole Cole County 12 and you go through the list
01:12:20.120of the of these counties and you know what does that say for the rest of the races that are
01:12:25.120outstanding you know uh the the Democrats took uh gosh almost 18 months to release their findings
01:12:34.980on why they lost the 2024 election and then a lot of them were in denial right that the Republican
01:12:41.620Party is going to have to do this. And it's going to come down to a handful of things.
01:12:48.020Was it the gas prices? Was it the war? Was it Epstein? What you know, I don't know what what
01:12:57.000else it could be, you know, but we saw the pendulum swing really hard red with Donald Trump.
01:13:04.500And now it seems to be swinging back more blue for you and I, those watching. This is hard to
01:13:10.600But it's hard to wrap your mind around because, again, why would you hand the shovel back to the group that dug us into a hole?
01:13:19.160And and but again, if people are voting based off their wallet, they might have saved four thousand dollars on taxes.
01:13:27.080They might have got a raise. Some of their life might have become affordable.
01:13:31.060But every day they drive past that gas price. I don't know. Again, you're you're dead right.
01:13:37.760I don't want to forget this point. I don't mean to cut you off, but you're 100% right. And my answer to you on that is that people's attention spans are short. And I'm not saying literally short. They're short in the meaning of the sense of what did you do for me the last two weeks? What did you do for me the last month? What did you do for me the last six months? And I don't think people's attention spans go back.
01:13:59.900And I should say their political attention spans and create a new term here.
01:14:05.560You know, what did you do for me the last five months?
01:14:09.040That's really changed. And when you do look at that, you know, when you ask the Republicans, when you ask President Trump, what did you do for me the last five months?
01:14:18.000Regardless of the circumstances they're in, you know, I really don't know what you have much to show for.
01:14:24.520And you and I get it. No tax on tips, no tax on overtimes. That was a year ago.
01:14:29.300You know, I think the Republicans, and I don't put this blame on President Trump wholly. I put it on John Thune. Now, is that a result of President Trump allowing him to stay there far past his time? Yes, it could be. But there's a lot of contributing factors. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off there, but I would have forgot that point.
01:14:48.480Yeah, no, that's OK. Yeah. So just just to finish up what I was saying is that they're they're just going to have to do a debrief and be honest about what happened.
01:14:59.840What would make the country swing back so hard? And again, I think it's going to be, you know, just a handful of things.
01:15:08.500Another one that it could be that almost nobody is talking about is just maybe people behind the scenes are just really mad at how expensive health care has become.
01:15:18.480And then they go, why haven't we fixed Obamacare?
01:15:33.060So, again, I don't know what it is, but if the country is swinging this much to the left, there's got to be a reason for it.
01:15:42.620And they've got to they've got to figure out what that is.
01:15:45.360Yeah, you know what, Stephen, whether it be the black pilling pollsters and black pilling mainstream media, you know, or it be the gas prices or it be the Iran war or it be Russia, Ukraine or it be Israel, the Democrats still, aside from all that, you can give them all that, they'll still find a way to cheat.
01:16:04.440Look at what they did up in Alaska with Dan Sullivan, Dan Sullivan, and the Supreme Court refused, refused to take it up and say, listen, this can't go on, guys.0.68
01:16:16.400We need to figure something out here. I don't know what you do. I don't know how you delay the election.
01:16:21.720But to have Dan Sullivan and Dan Sullivan on a ballot after it's already been to me, Stephen, is mind blowing and stealing and cheating to the extent of something we've never seen before, far surpassing what they did in 2020.
01:16:33.260Yeah, I mean, I mean, it is just flat out election rigging, right? Like, let's go find somebody with the with the exact same name. And when that guy tried to register his paperwork, he tried to use the same middle initial.
01:16:49.180I mean, this thing is a dirty, dirty trick come up with by Peltola and Chuck Schumer that now they're going to say, you know, plausible deniability.
01:17:01.060Maybe it was lower staff that we don't know really well.
01:19:58.180I think part of it is the affordability crisis.
01:20:01.640You know, you hear some of these socialists talking, El Saeed and the platforms they run on. Right. And they say, well, we want to lower the cost. Now, they don't tell you how they're going to do it or who's going to pay for it. But they say, we want to lower the cost of your living. We want the government out of your life. We want to be able to make you live a more affordable life that you that you should be able to afford. We want better schooling for your children.
01:20:24.700whose plan does that sound like that sounds awfully like the plan of donald trump and the
01:20:29.640republicans now the socialists don't sell it the way that it's really meant to be and how they're
01:20:34.820planning on paying for it along with the other garbage that they're bundling in on that but
01:20:39.420people fall for it and people believe that these people mean what they say and they say what they
01:20:43.280mean and they're actually going to give them free health care they're actually going to allow these
01:20:47.160these people to to come in and have government living where they they subsidize your apartments
01:20:52.580or they come in and say, well, the government can't raise your rent past X amount of dollars
01:20:56.980and they fall for it. Now, my problem is, Stephen, is they continue to fall for it every election.
01:21:03.340Yeah. Yeah. You know, within within the Democrat Party, whenever there's an affordability problem,
01:21:12.560I mean, we always want the government to solve that and we should be able to trust our government.
01:21:17.220unfortunately i don't i believe that ronald reagan had it right the the scariest words
01:21:26.200in english are i'm from the government and i'm here to help the government is not the answer
01:21:31.200to most problems a free market like look at elon musk nasa gets billions of dollars and doesn't
01:21:38.640really do much elon musk he's going to be putting 98 of everything into space within a couple of
01:21:45.280years, right? Look at cars, look at, I mean, there's just so many things that the government
01:21:52.120just cannot get involved in. Now, does that mean that the government is no good? We should toss
01:21:56.640them out? No, there's, there are things that the government can do, but right now, a lot of
01:22:01.080governments are raising property taxes as if people got big raises. I mean, we have a lot of
01:22:07.260broken systems and it makes, it breaks my heart to see so much blue on the map because I cover
01:22:14.920every day how Democrat policies are hurting America and to give them back power just seems
01:22:20.580crazy to me. One of the ones we got up there on the screen there is the race in South Carolina
01:22:26.520where Darlene Graham, President Trump, endorsed her, you know, before anybody could run for that
01:22:31.160seat. And, you know, she did some interviews where they asked her, you know, what do you think about
01:22:35.240China? And she, you know, she flat answered, well, I don't really know about foreign policy,
01:22:40.080but uh you know x y and z and i think that you know it's not what the people want to hear your
01:22:47.560voters want to hear you saying listen i i think this is what it is they want you to have a position
01:22:52.400on every issue that you could possibly have and you know it sucks because sometimes you got to
01:22:57.380take unpopular positions but that's what comes with the job of being a politician and we're
01:23:01.660seeing right now that uh that seat in south carolina is um uh rather interesting one of
01:23:09.600the counties that uh that they they were looking close at is uh harry county which is myrtle beach
01:23:14.200where president trump won by 40 points nearly 40 points in 2024 where darlene graham's only leading
01:23:19.640by about 20 points so uh what's your thoughts on president trump's endorsement of of darlene graham
01:23:28.440and and uh you know not letting anyone else have the opportunity to jump in the race that
01:23:35.300is a seasoned politician, someone who was a good talker in a time where we clearly need to win some
01:23:42.080seats. I think President Trump liked Senator Lindsey Graham, and most of his voters did not.
01:23:49.780Yes. So when you then do what the Democrats do, which is install somebody, Darlene Graham,
01:23:56.160she might be a Darlene human, but she doesn't have any political experience. And so you put
01:24:02.720a deeply unpopular senator's sister in. I think maybe he was leaning on her name
01:24:09.940a little too much. And I don't know that her name was that good. I interviewed
01:24:13.800somebody down there multiple times named Mark Lynch. And he's a business owner. He understands
01:24:20.600economics. He's super MAGA, super pro-America first. And he literally was like pushed to the
01:24:28.700side like a bug. I mean, so this one, I was hoping she'd pull it out. Maybe she still can. I mean,
01:24:37.080but I think maybe we leaned a little bit too hard on Trump's endorsement of Darlene Graham when we
01:24:44.840should have actually put forward a candidate that South Carolina knew and liked and felt like they
01:24:51.320had their back. But again, I don't personally know anybody that liked Lindsey Graham.0.98
01:24:56.600Yeah, I wasn't a fan of his. Now, Polymarket is declaring, for what it's worth, James Tallarico, the winner in Texas. Now, full transparency, the Associated Press has not declared that yet, but Polymarket, I believe, doing so in this case of cashing out their bets.
01:25:16.740I think if they do that, they have to pay out their bets.
01:27:51.460If those blue arrows are any indication, then why would Mike Rogers win?
01:27:58.860um you know uh well i think that's a peculiar i i think that one's a peculiar seat right because
01:28:06.320of how uh el saeed is extremely uh polarizing you know hated by a lot of people there for
01:28:14.020various different reasons that's the only reason i think that maybe that one could possibly be
01:28:18.240different am i just being optimistic no i i don't think he resonates with the black community as
01:28:25.280much. He obviously doesn't resonate with the the Jewish community. You know, Detroit is 75 percent
01:28:33.280black Americans and they tend to they tend to vote Democrats. So I don't know that that is a that is
01:28:42.060a tough one. And it would be very disappointing to see it go to him because, you know, it's kind
01:28:50.780of like when ma'am donnie got in it's like okay hold on we got 9-11 all of these middle eastern
01:28:56.940wars we've been fighting socialism with the cold wars you know we're against communism we're against
01:29:02.880all and then all of a sudden we get this socialist middle eastern mayor in one of the biggest cities
01:29:10.480in america i think that shocked a lot of people too so i don't know i mean maybe uh america is
01:29:16.860shifting. I don't know that it's, it's a very bizarre. It's very bizarre. What's going on
01:29:22.640tonight. What do you think Gavin Newsom's doing tonight? Oh, he's probably popping champagne with
01:29:29.300his assistant. Uh, uh, I don't know if you, I don't know if you saw that, you know, they're
01:29:34.720always giving Trump a hard time for, uh, having his assistant that brings the printer to print
01:29:39.980him out stuff. But, uh, there was a story that broke a couple of days ago that, uh, people
01:29:45.220started clocking the time and he spends more time with his assistant than his own wife,
01:29:50.180you know, and his wife is under federal investigation for possibly fraud, tax evasion,0.93
01:29:56.780lying to people about the way that she's running charities, the way that the state donates money.
01:30:03.180But I have to imagine he's sitting back and he's laughing and saying, wow, look, look at how many
01:30:09.060blue arrows are pointing towards us. We really are great. I'm telling you, this is going to
01:30:14.080embolden them in a way that i don't think a lot of people expected 24 hours ago 100 and but i mean
01:30:21.960we've we've heard about this blue wave thing now for the last uh i guess year year or so now and
01:30:27.520you know it's coming to fruition looking at 55 of the race in in new york 66 to 33 for kathy okel
01:30:34.040uh the only thing i can do there is just laugh as we await these uh house races to come in um
01:30:41.520the shifts the shift arrows even are still just i i mean this is this is looking at the
01:30:47.120the house races uh in the shifts across you know where we were in 2024 and absolutely just blew
01:30:54.020all throughout the board uh new york aoc aoc's race she won her her race uh pretty handedly1.00
01:31:01.900there uh we'll be glad to see her back uh you know doing what she does best causing issues0.99
01:31:08.820Maria Salazar is locked in a tight one there that's the congresswoman for those who haven't1.00
01:31:15.200followed her along who came out over the last few weeks criticizing president trump and his1.00
01:31:19.240border policies she's locked in a tight race over there in florida neck and neck with uh
01:31:25.000with the marxist dem yeah wow that is uh that is shocking um yeah she uh she's kind of a0.99
01:31:34.920controversial person um you know i i actually don't have a big problem with her other than she
01:31:40.980came out and suddenly came against trump as if you know she was caught off guard by the fact that he
01:31:47.400wanted to deport people that came across the border illegally under joe biden and kamala harris
01:31:52.560you know and and you know another thing is maybe uh maybe people are believing
01:31:58.340oh they're not going to be able to reopen the border so then we'll we'll go back to the status
01:32:04.620quo when you know they're just gonna they're just gonna wait until 2028 and then if they win there
01:32:11.440the border is going to be thrown wide open yep and you know what will happen all those people
01:32:17.800will be american citizens all of those people will be going to the ballot and vote and guess
01:32:21.880what they'll show up to the ballots and vote the same way that everyone here saw me vote today 37
01:32:26.740seconds name uh address birth date which you can all find online about any person you you know you
01:32:34.200You want to you want to figure out if you dig hard enough and and, you know, there goes the country.
01:32:40.220And I think once you do that, Steve, there's probably no coming back.
01:32:44.500And I'm not being hyperbolic and I don't mean to be hyperbolic.0.96
01:32:47.040But I think once you legalize all these illegals, there's really I think you've crossed to the dark side.0.98
01:32:54.800And I don't think there's any coming back from that.1.00
01:32:57.380I mean, this this is why Elon Musk spent nearly a half a billion dollars.
01:33:02.400He was very clear on X. My worry is these people will flood the country, provide amnesty, say that they're going to give a bunch of free programs that are going to allow millions of people to live off of the labor and the tax dollar of the American worker.
01:33:21.420And then all of these people will vote blue and we will have a country that looks like California, where you you you Steve Hilton ran an incredible campaign, so much fraud exposed out there.
01:33:35.240And yet California is looking like, you know what, we're going to go ahead and vote blue and keep this a super majority, even though we're managing decline more than, you know, any other state, maybe other than maybe New York City.
01:33:49.620But it's wild. It is absolutely wild that there's got to be some kind of underlying thing.
01:33:59.400Either people are just not showing up or this is kind of a, hey, we're really unhappy about one, two, maybe three things and we're sticking it to you.
01:34:11.880Here's an interesting thing. So I had mentioned before exit polling is usually a pretty good idea of, you know, who voted, how they voted.
01:34:19.400And what they did right now, as it sits exit polling, we're seeing out of 73 percent white people, 73 percent of the people who voted in it, 51 percent of white voters, the only predominant people to vote Republican, 88 percent blacks voted for the Democrats, 60 percent Latinos voted for the Democrats, 69 percent of the Asian community voting for the Democrats and 52 percent of the other.
01:34:46.480The other interesting thing, Stephen, and before I get to that,
01:35:14.420So that'll successfully flip the Democrats picked up two seats with just five hanging in the balance that they'll need to pick up to get the majority.
01:35:38.420For a party that doesn't care about them or their well-being or them existing as an entity in America, that's sort of interesting, my take.
01:35:49.800Yeah, I don't know what to make of that. That seems very high. And yet throughout the election campaign, I remember President Trump saying many times, why would any Jewish person vote for a Democrat? They don't care about you.
01:36:05.500Right. And I don't I don't see them do much. They've taken a very hard stance against Israel.
01:36:13.780Most of the people that were, you know, pro-Palestine were also Democrats.
01:36:17.980So I don't know that that is another another mystery to me.
01:36:23.380It'll be really interesting to see, you know, President Trump picked up a lot of the Hispanic vote in 2024.
01:36:30.020I wonder if a lot of them swung back, you know, and maybe people are more upset about what happened with ICE under Gnome and Greg Bovino than we understand.
01:36:43.540I mean, I didn't like seeing people, you know, be killed.
01:36:47.980But at the same time, you know, from my position, I'm like, well, what did you think was going to happen when you tried to run someone over with a car?
01:37:21.380who were offset by President Trump striking in Iran.
01:37:27.120A lot of them saying President Trump was in bed with Benjamin Netanyahu
01:37:30.460and that America is too influenced by Israel.
01:37:34.080And it's a lot of what these black-pilling pollsters had said as well.
01:37:37.780To me, that's an extremely, I think, disappointing number to look at.
01:37:43.000I do want to see if we got any updates on these races here.
01:37:45.620I just saw Kalshi has now a prediction that Mike Rogers only has a 3% chance of prevailing in Michigan, whereas Ken Paxton's got a 1% chance of prevailing in Texas.
01:38:00.820So not promising. Looking at Nebraska, still have that as a toss up. Kansas, they have as likely Dem with 73 percent of the vote in. Roger Marshall down 42 percent to 56 percent. Iowa, another one, they have that as lean Dem, 55 to 43 for Ashley Hinson. Not a good night for the Republicans so far, Steve.
01:38:26.360No, I mean, and so we've talked a lot about John Thune. Let's talk about House Speaker Mike Johnson.
01:38:35.420Yeah. You know, I was impressed. He went and visited, I want to say, maybe 42 cities.
01:38:40.880But he's been on every from Newsmax to Fox News telling everybody these polls are bad.
01:38:46.440We're going to prevail. We might even increase. This is the opposite of that.
01:38:50.920And so it really, you know, I don't have really any faith in the polling.
01:38:56.360And yet, where do you turn for information?
01:38:59.380All of these groups pay millions of dollars to get information, you know, privately delivered to them.
01:39:08.100I just wonder if they're caught off guard or I don't know.
01:39:13.100Again, I knew that this was going to be a close race, but now I'm kind of thinking it doesn't look like a close race.
01:39:19.440Yeah, you know, the polling industry is such a joke that we actually had, you know, we saw a few weeks ago, the fake polling of, you know, that company comes out and creates this entire fake polling outfit to to make a joke out of the industry.
01:39:35.960And people think it's OK. You know, everything was, you know, hunky dory and it was funny.
01:39:40.540And they made a joke of it. They were able to get in The New York Times on the aggregate.
01:39:45.580They were able to get in the Wall Street Journal on the aggregate.
01:39:48.060They were able to get in the Real Clear Politics aggregate.
01:39:50.980And, you know, I went through these polls yesterday.
01:39:52.920I went to the New York Times and Siena because they got it so wrong in 2020,
01:40:03.040And I went through their numbers yesterday on the show,
01:40:05.400and I laughed at them that they had these Democrats winning by 10, 12, 15 points.
01:40:11.160And I said yesterday, I said, well, they're going to have to defend these numbers,
01:40:14.460And they're going to have to tell us, you know, how they got them.
01:40:17.580You know, it's seeming tomorrow is going to be a different day.
01:40:23.960Explaining how the Republicans screwed this.0.93
01:40:27.980Yeah, well, I just saw someone in the comments that said, screw all the Republicans that refuse to show up for Trump.
01:40:35.200And do you know when they do the exit polling and they go in and they dig in, are we going to find out if this election came down to more people actually voting Democrat or did it really come down to Republicans not showing up?
01:40:51.720Oh, yeah, we certainly will. We'll find out voter registration. We'll find out why. And like I said, we'll find out the reasons why they're top issues in the exit polling in the days to come.
01:41:01.960for sure we'll be able to we'll be able to pinpoint i think pretty pretty rationally uh
01:41:08.500why the republicans are absolutely got washed and uh and this was this blue wave that you know they
01:41:14.560had they had said it like you know like we've said a million times steven we didn't want to come out
01:41:19.500here tonight uh you know to break horrible news we wanted to come out here tonight uh to celebrate
01:41:25.280now maybe some promising news up in maine as uh susan collins those numbers are starting to come
01:41:31.600And 20 percent of the numbers in about one hundred and fifty thousand votes in Susan Collins up slightly way too early to tell.
01:41:39.900But will that be a seat that maybe now the Republicans could defend, you know, looking at the ways to victory right here or even close to victory is kind of getting a little bit tough.
01:41:51.080Do you think and I just want to ask this, maybe my audience is thinking this, but right now, a lot of the a lot of the races are being called by Polly Market and Kalshi.
01:42:05.880They've certainly played a major role this election cycle more than at any time.
01:42:10.940But yet I still see 58 percent in Texas, 6 percent in Minnesota, 74.
01:42:17.700is there any chance that they're shutting down because they're we're now past the polling or do
01:42:25.200you think that their data is good enough that they can call a race even before the election desk at
01:42:32.080the Associated Press? So so how it works usually is how they call these races generally is how it's
01:42:39.800done. The Associated Press is based on exit polling and they have a very they're usually
01:42:43.500pretty spot on pretty accurate uh um on how you know they're able to call the races and how they're
01:42:50.320able to do it so their their their accuracy i would say is pretty pretty darn good they don't
01:42:56.540like getting it wrong you know we complained about uh fox calling arizona early for for joe biden
01:43:02.160uh but they get it usually usually uh pretty pretty darn uh spot on i do want to give a shout
01:43:11.320out here to one of your folks if we can get it up here who gave a super chat i think it's we've
01:43:18.680got it we got to give a shout out where it's due if i can get this up here sure it out sounds so
01:43:25.140we don't get an echo from it was the uh the culprit uh james mcdaniel 93 53 with a hundred
01:43:35.640dollar super chat for the best, most trustworthy guy on YouTube from bright core came in as CRC.
01:43:43.200What currency is that? I don't know. I'm not sure, but thank you. Thank you for that. Hey,
01:43:48.440listen, you know, we're, we're trying to be positive. We are trying to give you guys the
01:43:54.800truth. You know, I know I went out and voted red all the way down the ticket. I had one
01:44:00.840constitutional guy that I was like, you know what, this guy is interesting, but his talking
01:44:06.960points are about the same as the Republican and very different than the Democrat. And I did,
01:44:11.280I voted red all the way down. So did my wife. Um, we, we looked up the different candidates
01:44:17.100and went through everything and we, we made the best decision that we thought was there. But,
01:44:21.540um, you know, some of this could change by morning. Um, you know, there, there's still
01:44:27.760stuff coming in. Um, but you know, at the end of the day, we can't make anybody show up and vote.
01:44:35.280Uh, we, we can't make any kind of changes, but it right now it's, it's very disappointing,
01:44:40.440you know, and, um, you know, there's going to be, there's going to be some pain around each of these
01:44:46.620individual races and we'll be back on tomorrow to help try to make sense of all of it. But,
01:44:51.780uh, anyway, I just wanted people to know, like it doesn't bring us any joy to go through this,
01:44:57.220this data i don't know about you i might need the day off tomorrow i i i you know i'm just
01:45:02.980anytime this happens it perplexes me because you know i've worked years in politics before i you
01:45:09.040know started doing this show and spent years at fox news and analyzing data and going through it
01:45:14.000all and you know it's one of those jobs steven where you just never you can study all you want
01:45:19.640you can know the algos all you want you can know the voters all you want but you really just never0.87
01:45:24.360know what they're thinking in the back of the head and when they go in that booth and they0.52
01:45:29.420close that curtain at least that's the way it used to be where you go in that little thing and
01:45:33.320and circle your things you you know there's people who don't tell you what you're thinking
01:45:38.420what they're thinking and and go in there uh and they voice it themselves i you know i don't know
01:45:45.100what the people thought when they went there tonight but clearly it was that they're not
01:45:48.700in favor of what president trump has sold us thus far this two years yeah in the presidency
01:45:54.040Yeah. Or they didn't show up to vote, which is also a vote.
01:46:00.560Deciding not to decide is a decision. You know, I remember having to say that to people in a previous business that I ran.
01:46:10.020Deciding not to decide is a decision, you know, and and deciding not to vote is a vote.
01:46:15.060If you allow the blue to come in because you don't want to get out there and vote, then you're basically voting for blue.
01:46:22.080But I don't know that a lot of people look at it that way.
01:46:24.580They just say, you know what, I'm not going to spend my time standing in line or, you know, so that that is unfortunate now.
01:46:35.020Sure. You know, people are going to have to chew on this for a while, but might things have gone differently if if Trump had not picked Ken Paxton and said, I get enough votes out of John Cornyn.
01:46:48.860I'm going to keep that. But I don't know. I felt like honestly, I felt like John Thune and a few others were almost borderline trying to blackmail Trump into keeping John Cornyn.
01:47:01.360And I still think he made the right decision, but it may have cost him, you know.
01:47:06.260We're going to get to this in a second. I want to answer your question first.
01:47:08.740no i don't think the outcome changes and i'll tell you when we get the answer from this main
01:47:16.960race because i consider now it's not the same voting electorate obviously but um by the way
01:47:22.900we see by the the swings if you look here steven if we we go back to the to the swings of where
01:47:28.880you know the voters uh swung 11 points 18 points and this is this is in texas 22 points in jefferson
01:47:38.100Allen 24 points how much more does Paxton really sway you back does he I know he doesn't sway you
01:47:45.620back 24 20 points in in here I know he doesn't swing you back 12 points in Miller County
01:47:50.440no I don't I don't think that that changes uh at all um when it comes to that now I do want to
01:47:57.940pull up something that I just saw Molly Hemingway post on Twitter that it's really
01:48:01.760really interesting and they inverted uh this from Raymond James Trump's approval rating mapped on
01:48:07.720the average gas prices and if you take a look at that that is a direct correlation steven
01:48:14.820a direct correlation um i think that answers your question tonight not even after waiting for exit
01:48:21.880polling on what the american people were voting and it makes perfect sense right because what did
01:48:28.440people do in 2024 when they went to the polls you saw on gas pumps pictures of joe biden pointing at
01:48:34.220The gas price is saying I did that. And what happened in 2024? I think we have your answer right there from February 2026 that at Trump underwater by 15 points to where we sat in September of 2026, Trump underwater minus 25 with gas prices.
01:48:52.880Now, they didn't go as far as October and obviously not November, but we have to assume if it fell, you know, 10 points from February to September, you're probably down another four or five points in October down to 20 underwater.
01:49:08.880Wow. And do you think if there was a way to map approval of the Iran war, it would probably follow that same thing?
01:49:17.120Because you can see, as I mentioned, in May and June, when they stopped the fighting and the gas prices came down, you can see he gets he gets a lift in approval.
01:49:26.480And then it comes down again in July and August when they start that 15 day kinetic war again.
01:49:33.780You see that that that dropping and, you know, gas prices have come down about 70 cents where I live from four ninety nine to about four twenty nine.
01:49:42.840But what was it enough? Or are people going, hey, listen, I'm having to pay for the war I didn't want in the form of higher gas prices. And, you know, I just I don't I don't want that.
01:49:56.620And then it goes back to what I had said earlier in the show.
01:49:59.860You look at Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, that seem to be shifting blue.
01:50:10.200They're all affected by diesel more than the average person.
01:50:14.620There could be some swing back that way.
01:50:16.560Again, we won't know until we get that briefing report.
01:50:21.760Well, let's take a look at something that Pew Research did last month, because this may shed a little bit of light on on maybe what the people were thinking.
01:50:30.900And this is Pew Research and President Trump's zoom in in there so that people can see.
01:50:36.360There we go. They can see a little bit better polling on America's largely disapproval of Trump's handling on the Iran conflict expected to continue for months.
01:50:44.860This is a percentage of people who say how Donald Trump is handling the U.S. military action against Iran.
01:50:54.080My math is correct. That's 64 percent strongly or somewhat disapproving, just a 34 percent somewhat approval.
01:51:05.980That, I think, certainly coincides with some of those blue arrows that we see.
01:51:10.480Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, it almost lines up with the approval rating.
01:51:14.120You know, if he's got a approval rating of 37, again, nationwide on your channel, my channel, he's still holding.
01:51:22.240Yeah. On on on that, he's still, you know, ninety nine percent.
01:51:26.600And and maybe that's where, you know, during these midterm rallies, he would say these polls are not right.
01:51:34.740CNN says I have ninety nine percent, you know, but that's among his own voting base, not maybe the rest of the country.
01:51:41.500Yeah, if you look at it, they go a little bit further percentage of people who say they're confident Trump administration will achieve its goal. Only 52 percent. I'm sorry. 52 percent of the people say not at all.
01:51:54.620Oh, wow. That you're going to achieve his goal. So they're not optimistic that we're going to have a resolution one way or another. And I mean, if you look at where we're at right now in this war, it doesn't seem there's going to be any sort of, you know, resolution of it.
01:52:09.760How much longer do you think the U.S. military action Iran will last? 47% of people say more than a year. So is this how the people were voting? I don't know. But as of right now, the only indications that we have is exit polling that we have so far is the correlation of President Trump's approval rating to gas prices.
01:52:30.120And is this latest Pew Research survey that shows the American people, as we expect, they vote with their wallets.
01:52:41.900The correlation of what we saw in 2024 to the correlation of what we saw now, I think, is strikingly similar.
01:52:50.560Yeah. One thing that I wanted to say to you and to my audience is it was already it was already going to be an uphill battle.
01:53:04.340We started this entire show with historically and statistically, the sitting president ends up having a swing back.
01:53:13.980And so if if there was a chance it was going to be affordable gas.
01:53:19.200it was going to be no war and so that uphill battle becomes an even steeper incline when you
01:53:27.200have gas that goes up um and that that is that is unfortunate um but we'll see what that that final
01:53:36.020is but it wouldn't shock me if this comes down to iran and gas prices yeah oh i mean it's really
01:53:43.500the only thing we have to go off of you know because everything else he's done i i unless
01:53:47.680they're of course taking out their frustration on john thune and and mike johnson which is also
01:53:53.040very well possible you know you guys didn't say pass the save i mean nobody was bigger on on the
01:53:58.860save america act than you steven you spoke about it every single day uh smashed on it every single
01:54:04.700day huge on it every single day by the way i'm looking at youtube and some of the other shows
01:54:09.040particularly the black pillars they've only got a few hundred people in here we have a few thousand
01:54:13.820on your side and my side as well so we're crushing them it's uh what the people want to hear um0.99
01:54:20.260but nonetheless i mean uh they couldn't get it done and i do think that the save america act0.97
01:54:27.200is a massive part on on why um it happened i do think these people who are black pillars play
01:54:35.680another part and they'll sit there and for the next week or so and they'll dance on his grave0.54
01:54:39.780on President Trump's grave and they'll laugh about it. But really, what's funny about it?
01:54:45.600What's funny in the fact that we're all going to wallow in the misery of what the Democrats
01:54:52.420are going to sell us? What's good about that? There's nothing. I mean, whatever the final
01:55:00.020outcome is, I'm going to pick myself up, dust myself off, and I'm going to get back to telling
01:55:04.680people the truth. This is why people listen to you and me. We're truth tellers, good, bad, or ugly.
01:55:11.700I don't believe that President Trump is going to just roll over. I think that he's going to get
01:55:19.980more aggressive. I think he wants to go out with a strong legacy on the border. I think he's going
01:55:25.660to work to get this war ended and get those gas prices back down. I mean, there is a lot of good
01:55:31.580that this man has done. America now controls 60% of all the oil on planet Earth. The future is
01:55:40.540bright because of that. Now they've got to focus on refineries. They've got to focus on getting
01:55:46.140those prices down. And I have worried many times that he's been distracted by foreign policy when
01:55:54.580what America wanted was domestic policy. But he's still got two years. I know that they're
01:56:01.280going to try to impeach him they're going to impeach everyone around him first though they're
01:56:05.860going to try to cut him out leave him on a floating iceberg and then they'll go for him
01:56:09.820is my opinion but we'll see what happens you're absolutely right the the american people and i
01:56:15.520said this from the beginning and uh yeah i text with the great lou dobbs's wife every day and
01:56:20.480we argue back and forth on things because you know i've been a little bit harder on trump this
01:56:24.140time around than she has and i said you know i wish lou was around these days because lou would
01:56:28.540have called president trump and said mr president and he always responded him as mr president not
01:56:34.300like these guys sean hannity these schmucks uh mr president it's time to bring him back home it's
01:56:39.540what the american people want and uh i blame part of this on lou dobbs not being here because0.93
01:56:44.600he always had the president's here and and number one is he always had the best interest of the
01:56:48.980country and president trump not his own pocket he was fired from jobs he was sued from jobs for
01:56:54.980protecting president trump and protecting this country and uh you know it's days like this where
01:57:00.600i truly do miss him can we hit some audience questions before we wrap would you yeah i go

01:58:16.680right now we'll see um optimistic but uh president trump will still be the president that's the good
01:58:24.400thing at the end of the day good election coverage steven and john from rwi we appreciate you uh we
01:58:29.520tuning in i'm watching newsmax and not too impressed yet well carolyn you should have
01:58:34.860been tuned in here with us all night we do appreciate you tuning in uh to see us here
01:58:41.220sorry i'm trying to run through this here jay mattson i'm here from sir steven gardner show
01:58:46.800steve are you from england you didn't tell me sir steven i like uh my my dna is from england but i'm
01:58:53.980not mb wolf says they're going to start impeachment proceedings right away uh yes i i i said tomorrow
01:59:02.560You were a little bit more optimistic that it's going to be further out,
01:59:52.720MB Wolf says, I think the swing is due largely to negative media and short-term issues, war and gas prices.
01:59:57.900I think that's generally the sentiment that we had, too, Steve, no?
02:00:00.840Yeah, I mean, so President Trump coming back and winning in 2024 is kind of a miracle. I mean, like it probably should not have happened. And he was he was able to do that. And like she just mentioned right there, these are some short term things, but there are people hurting from it.
02:00:22.940And even though poverty is the lowest it's ever been, household income is the highest it's ever been, the Trump tax cuts save people thousands of dollars.
02:00:33.240At the end of the day, you know, there there are people that don't want this war.
02:00:38.060There are people that don't want the high gas prices.
02:01:19.940gw5 says unfortunately my new york rangers won tonight there you go i guess any win's a good
02:01:25.280win right yeah fogo says uh and did trump do enough for maga i you know that's i guess the
02:01:31.440question at the end of the day there uh fogo that's gonna have to be answered you know did
02:01:36.620he do enough the real everlet two of my favorite political streamers we prefer podcasters i think
02:01:42.940just kidding we appreciate you too thanks for for tuning in to see us i agree the save america act
02:01:48.880two. Unfortunately, Gen Z thinks that socialism is just another social media and they want a
02:01:54.060government that gives them free things. Unfortunately, you are correct. And well,
02:01:58.780whenever, whenever people are struggling for money, socialism sounds like a better idea.
02:02:03.920It just does. But the problem is socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.
02:02:10.900I mean, look at what was happening in Venezuela. Look at some of these other socialist countries,
02:02:16.020the ones that kind of make it work they're all going bankrupt France is falling apart other
02:02:22.240parts of Europe are falling apart and you can say oh they get six weeks of vacation and if they have
02:02:27.540a baby the dad gets a year off or whatever none of that functions in America with 350 million
02:02:32.740Americans it just it just doesn't and communism more people have died because of communism than
02:02:38.380any other thing and so the you know these are these are short-term thinking and I believe
02:02:43.940president trump's trying to overcome that but the the the gas prices the iran war that may be the
02:02:50.200the thing that hurt him the most yeah you know people don't realize that when they want to talk
02:02:54.560about socialism and they want to talk about universalized health care and all that garbage
02:02:58.300they don't realize the gdp that america has is dominant to every country's gdp they don't
02:03:03.700realize that the american population is superior to every they don't realize the things that go
02:03:08.520into effect you can never compare america to canada you can never compare america to norway
02:03:13.280or sweden or any of the other ones and people do not realize that who think this socialism thing
02:03:19.340is great uh what do we got here from james james sawyer if the demograph rats take our republic
02:03:28.140in which we stand the republic will be attracted at the lowest level cameras in the room everyone
02:03:32.780i know has a rough time voting today how can we ensure we get our votes counted and that's a
02:03:38.240$50 super chat. Appreciate you, James. Steve, you want to take that one first?
02:03:43.400Yeah, thank you. That was very generous of you. You know, I have my doubts that this was a free
02:03:50.240and fair election. I think that we should have had the Save America Act. I'm very, very disappointed
02:03:56.420that we were not able to get that done. You know, one thing that I'll say, and maybe you back me on
02:04:03.100this, or maybe you disagree with me, John, but from, from what I read, the house actually got
02:04:08.680more done for Trump, but then it just died in the Senate. Yeah. Yeah. And yet everybody was
02:04:13.780trying to protect the Senate so that Trump could not be impeached. But the Senate was the very
02:04:19.340reason that he was not getting as many things done. And so, um, you know, again, I, I don't,
02:04:27.600I don't know that we have fully free election, free and fair elections, but I still showed up
02:04:32.100to vote because i i wanted to get my voice heard yeah and you know to your point james it's uh you
02:04:39.900know what's what's the other option you know staying home and not voting and then you're
02:04:43.940guaranteed you're giving the democrats a win and that's exactly what they want they want you to
02:04:47.760stay home they want you to to not come out and vote and they want you to you know to be
02:04:51.520disenfranchised i think that's part of the reason why we have so many of the fake polls i think0.97
02:04:55.600that's you know part of the reason why we have these black pillars who you know have done the0.99
02:04:59.940destruction uh that they've done this time around this election around so yes our 100 and this this1.00
02:05:06.740goes back to what steven and i were talking about before about the fact of not passing the save
02:05:11.240america act that i think probably disenfranchised a lot of voters who didn't go to the polls because
02:05:17.100they said my vote doesn't matter my vote doesn't count they're going to steal the election anyway1.00
02:05:21.720which is very well possible very well possible never underestimate the the power of the marxist0.98
02:05:28.180stems and the deep state to get what they want and to steal and who's to blame for it steven well0.98
02:05:33.980the republicans didn't do anything to stop it so who's to blame yeah i mean somebody somebody
02:05:41.280said in the comments they can't even get the daylight savings bill passed like come on man
02:05:46.160come on oh wow i wish i wish we had better news for the voters tonight i wish we had better news
02:05:52.820for the audience and it's uh i will say watch party yeah i i will say uh i i've received very
02:06:02.720very hard news in my life uh five or six years ago and it was a very good friend of mine that
02:06:09.460delivered it to me and so you know i don't like being the one delivering this news but hopefully
02:06:15.940you know that people at least go hey at least you know these guys are telling us the truth
02:06:22.420we're trying to we're trying to tell the truth and it looks it looks blue everyone's going to
02:06:27.580feel blue uh about this um and i just hope and pray that everyone is not regretting their vote
02:06:34.660in a few months going oh my gosh uh what did we allow into office that's my worry yeah i i think
02:06:43.720there's going to be a lot of people get the buyer's remorse but you know at the end of the day
02:06:47.900Stephen, when you don't keep up on your promise, the people remember and going back to what I said about the, you know, the attention span of people's voting.
02:07:00.060It's it's what's in front of you at that given moment, at that given time that people go off of that aren't going to go off of people are off the no tax on tips and overtime.
02:07:08.960Right. That's a year in the past. You know, they're not on that anymore.
02:07:13.400or they're on going to fill up their gas pumps at their car.
02:07:15.840They're on how their lives are going to be made better.
02:07:21.700Looking at this race, 83% of the vote in Ohio.
02:07:25.020Vivek Ramaswamy is down by almost five points.
