hello everybody and welcome to the great american oh it's great to have you with us today
00:00:06.960
someone you guys all know very well on this show the great mark mitchell head pollster for rasmussen
00:00:13.520
the guy's always got a damn smile on his face regardless of what's going on mark how are you
00:00:21.280
as i texted you before the show we always have a good time man there's always so much to talk
00:00:28.060
about it and uh i want to go off on a little tangent here in 2020 it was like the first time
00:00:32.740
you mentioned reddit a lot and i had no idea what reddit was but now i must um admit when i'm in
00:00:40.020
need of an answer or something i often find myself on reddit because you find yourself uh looking for
00:00:47.140
getting responses from people who are like-minded people like you or give an opinion on things that
00:00:51.980
you need or whatever and you can go on there for anything you can ask what's a better tv and i used
00:00:57.520
it recently for to buy a new tv um but going back to reddit in 2020 it was the first time in my
00:01:04.980
lifetime we saw the small man win and for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about there
00:01:10.960
was a subreddit channel called wall street bets oh yeah a group of young guys who knew nothing about
00:01:17.800
wall street knew nothing about the markets they were gamers i think in fact they knew about video games
00:01:23.460
but they go on this thing and they start a reddit sub channel about placing bets on wall street and
00:01:29.260
every single day these guys are convened and they literally got it to a point where they were driving
00:01:35.640
companies either up or down and now these are a group of people who like i said know nothing about it
00:01:41.680
and the guys on wall street they couldn't they were pissing them the hell off because these are the
00:01:46.700
guys who went to harvard these are guys who went to yale these are the guys who went to sorry mark but
00:01:51.240
these are the guys who went to pen uh i didn't get anything out of it these are the guys mark who
00:01:56.480
are making millions they're smartest guys and they're getting their asses beat by a bunch of
00:02:01.900
idiots and i don't mean idiots these guys are brilliant in fact um but in their eyes idiots uh who
00:02:08.380
are just going out there trading for fun so i get into wall street bets and um you know i have a
00:02:13.820
are you uh holding games game spot i i never owned games i'll tell you about one and the audience will
00:02:20.740
appreciate this one because lou is involved in this one so i tell lou about this and lou would often call
00:02:25.400
me and ask my advice on stocks and now i did a fair amount of reading and i'd give lou i must say
00:02:31.240
every stock i've given lou uh it made him a lot of money so i call lou one day and i say all right i've
00:02:36.560
got our next stock and he goes what is it i go bed bath and beyond looks at bed bath and beyond he goes
00:02:41.120
it's four dollars you look at the financials of this company this thing's a financial ruins i call
00:02:45.420
my dad who's in wall street i said dad what do you think about bed bath stay the hell away from it
00:02:49.240
stay that way right all right so i call lou i go all right lou i just bought x amount of bed bath
00:02:53.740
and beyond it like four bucks lou goes all right you know a partner you're in it i'm gonna be a good
00:02:58.720
sport i'm in it with you little did i know lou bought a little bit more than i did um so we buy
00:03:05.500
this damn thing and we watch it mark we go from maybe it was two dollars we watch you go two to four
00:03:10.220
four to seven seven to ten ten to eleven eleven this this was in 20 it was during covid it had
00:03:19.380
to be 20 okay so we watch it mark go all the way until almost 60 bucks and lou always used to have
00:03:28.060
this saying pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered yeah right lou being the smart man he was he sold
00:03:33.160
it at 50 profits yeah i waited for it to make a little correction to come down to 25 and i
00:03:38.760
finally sold mine but he did teach me a valuable lesson pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered
00:03:44.800
but well it's at 25 cents right now on the bulletin boards so okay right we made it out
00:03:52.920
alive but you know ever since then lou would call me and say all right partner what are we buying
00:03:56.740
today what do we buy and i go lou you know i don't got money like you do but i'm gonna put a
00:04:00.740
hundred bucks in this i'm gonna put a thousand bucks in this but it was the first time in my life
00:04:05.300
where people started understanding what goes into a market people started understanding
00:04:10.700
the whole cryptocurrency i'm still learning cryptocurrency and i i'm gotta admit i'm a
00:04:15.400
neophyte when it comes to it but like anything else i want to learn and i continue to learn because i
00:04:20.400
truly don't understand the whole cryptocurrency thing i'm an investor in it pretty heavily but
00:04:24.740
what's dangerous is you don't need to understand right well that you know i mean 15x back in 2016 17
00:04:30.500
uh and i haven't touched it since but yeah well i don't know i think i was talking with you about
00:04:35.180
it about the kid who 12 year old kid before school one day he started up a cryptocurrency uh
00:04:41.500
and and robbed everybody for 30 grand and he got on the thing and flipped the birds off to everybody
00:04:47.240
and went to school 30 000 richard 12 year old kid as he gets off there a bunch of guys go on and
00:04:52.860
drive the thing up to five million dollars funny but back to 2020 it's you know it was the first time
00:04:58.820
where i got to see uh firsthand the small guy winning and i don't care about these corporations
00:05:04.040
to be honest i don't care if they all go out of business because they do nothing for america i mean
00:05:08.740
they cause more harm than they're worth obviously we'll always have banks and institutions like that
00:05:13.760
but some of these world corporate i couldn't care less if amazon went out of business i'd find a
00:05:17.660
different way to go buy things i couldn't care less if walmart went out of business wouldn't ask the
00:05:22.280
government to pay them out or save them well this is where it overlaps politics there's definitely like
00:05:26.780
a critical mass that a company gets to beyond which there's no creative destruction and that's
00:05:32.760
not good for anybody it's like who could challenge amazon right now like amazon's a great company
00:05:37.160
uh in e-commerce but maybe it could be better there's no chance nobody's gonna get rid of it
00:05:43.160
and they now they can buy their own political mouthpiece and lobby uh the government and so what
00:05:48.800
you need is a more hostile pro-american pro-middle-class government to come in and figure out like what is
00:05:54.800
being non-competitive here that's what they're supposed to be doing they never really did that
00:05:58.640
um yeah i'd like to see a lot more creative destruction but can you imagine what's going
00:06:05.160
to happen to amazon and walmart with 25 tariff on goods from china wow like we might be seeing that soon
00:06:11.640
you i can't wait you mentioned about challenging amazon and i'll disagree with you probably for the second
00:06:17.800
time since meeting you with that logic mark back when you want to talk about zillennials and millennials
00:06:24.320
i remember the days of going to toys r us and buying toys right you can't find a toys r us on the market
00:06:29.700
anymore that was the toy made you couldn't challenge toys r us they had a lock on everything circuit city
00:06:35.380
was another one circuit city used to go there and buy car radios and this and that best buy is another
00:06:40.160
one who's not doing as well as they could jc penny a clothing retailer that has been around forever
00:06:45.160
is probably going to be down the tubes any year now um we need people like elon musk to come out
00:06:51.780
here it's the people with the money you know it doesn't get much simpler than that it's the people
00:06:56.360
who have the money and the resources you're not going to see with toys r us for instance though is that
00:07:01.720
toys r us didn't necessarily die like people said because amazon killed it uh it obviously had a
00:07:08.680
challenging business model could have corrected but it died because people like mitt romney came in
00:07:13.260
and purchased the company and saddled it with debt and focused it on leveraged real estate instead of
00:07:20.660
like actually selling toys in order to harvest money for private capital like that's a problem
00:07:26.740
yeah uh the problem is once you get to amazon like they're subsidizing the e-commerce business with
00:07:32.240
amazon web services those two businesses probably don't belong together i don't know why they're there
00:07:36.980
makes it really hard for anybody to compete but then if you're a public company and you get over a
00:07:42.120
certain hump the money's just free you just print more money people buy the stocks you can make any
00:07:47.160
you know probably and and that's something that like startup capital is a lot of trouble like
00:07:52.400
somebody to compete with amazon they're going to be building massive district distribution
00:07:57.740
facilities everywhere i don't know it's a mess oh how did the hell how did we get here from reddit
00:08:03.520
i wanted to say something about reddit because wall street bets but real quick when you before you
00:08:08.440
get to reddit i have to say this because you mentioned amazon amazon for everyone who's
00:08:11.960
listening on audio amazon's the one who hosts our audio podcast oh i'm sorry no no because i'm going
00:08:17.980
to give amazon i don't i you want to cancel us go ahead amazon i'm not going to bow down to you but i
00:08:22.740
am going to give you guys credit because back when lou was hosting it we also were on amazon art 19 hosting
00:08:28.380
us um and i have to be honest you guys have never censored anything we've said you've never taken
00:08:34.660
down anything we've said you've never tried to suggest we do x y or z um so i have to give credit
00:08:41.040
where credit's due you guys have been nothing but great to us um you continue to be great to us and
00:08:46.740
uh you know you bring us advertising and you do things and you've never uh sort of censored us so
00:08:51.840
you know if they were doing to the adverse i don't care if they'd kick us off the platform i'd come out
00:08:55.560
here and say what they were doing but and well you made me feel bad so now i have to make no there's
00:09:00.760
nothing no no now going to look at what jeff bezos does on the other side
00:09:04.660
well i'm just saying amazon hosts us too so thank you amazon you also did not shut us down
00:09:10.820
uh i don't i think your amazon west service is great i don't think it's an e-commerce business
00:09:16.520
you should probably separate those please stop sending more and more products to china because
00:09:21.380
that's their business model and finally i will forever hate them for what they did to wheel of
00:09:26.260
time my favorite fantasy series uh inconscionable how dirty they did robert jordan and i despise them
00:09:33.260
for that so so back to that we've got that off of our chest what were you saying about uh reddit oh
00:09:40.040
reddit is the biggest sleeper problem everybody you know they dragged marks up zuckerberg up on the
00:09:45.020
capitol hill and they talked about all the shadow bans he's putting on people on meta we have a shadow
00:09:49.480
ban as well i'm pretty sure censorship's horrible but everybody's overlooking reddit because i don't
00:09:55.760
think i could design a better intel agency honeypot if i tried and i'm not making any accusations i'm
00:10:02.300
just saying that it has a lot of very interesting content all of the best content if you have
00:10:07.060
specialized interests i'm on a lot of subreddits there i think are very interesting and yet they
00:10:12.560
have a method of anonymous moderation that is heavily utilized to craft narratives and indoctrinate
00:10:20.380
people into ideologies and get them off on like some pretty bad tracks just saying and i do i think
00:10:29.140
we know i'm not going to say for a fact i want to speculate though that people say that the second
00:10:35.220
biggest political subreddit one of the anonymous moderators may have been glane maxwell just saying
00:10:42.020
oh my goodness so that's where we're at and it's like you know maybe that's just one data point
00:10:49.200
but reddit's one of the biggest websites on earth it has a very big reach for young children
00:10:56.660
um maybe not as much as tiktok i think a lot of bad stuff is on there right and it everybody nobody
00:11:04.700
cares they forget about it they don't talk about it i think it i think reddit helped trump win in 2016
00:11:11.560
i think that's a massive story i i say i say that to people tapped into the political spheres and they
00:11:16.760
say no didn't what are you talking about i never heard about that look at you like wall street bets
00:11:20.720
they're literally they are using stocks as a weapon to attack major hedge funds right talk about it i
00:11:29.000
love it i love it it's absolutely brilliant i just was looking up because i was i remember seeing it
00:11:34.140
somewhere serena williams a famous tennis player her husband is the one who started reddit so for
00:11:39.000
everyone who doesn't know that serena williams actually at what i've been told a closeted trump uh
00:11:43.360
trumper so uh we love serena for that a great american lexis mohanian right yeah lexis mohanian
00:11:49.160
um but no i mean it's you know it uh it is a dangerous thing you know if you stay on there too
00:11:55.280
long you could find yourself going down rabbit holes and uh you know love blue know what lou thought
00:12:01.040
about rabbit holes um but it does give people the freedom to you know get an answer that's unbiased
00:12:09.260
or get two sides of an opinion or uh you know things that you don't get by uh you know turning
00:12:17.760
to fox news or turning to the wall street journal or turning to daily mail is one that i read every
00:12:23.960
single day who i think they do an excellent excellent job um you know you don't get that kind of thing
00:12:29.780
so when elon musk came out and said on election night you are the media he's right we are you know
00:12:36.180
you we were on an election night and we were doing election night coverage and we had numbers mark
00:12:42.220
faster and and data faster than they did on fox news now how is it possible that two low budget
00:12:47.600
operations are able to get election numbers and poll number and and analytics out faster than a
00:12:53.860
multi-billion dollar organization new paradigm totally new paradigm in media consumption uh totally
00:13:01.900
new public discourse and dialogue like we talked about the people who don't embrace reality are on
00:13:08.020
the ropes right now and they're going to regroup and we'll see what that looks like but i have no idea
00:13:12.660
uh how it's good it's not it's not blue sky and it's not reddit reddit's its own kind of little
00:13:18.580
walled garden right um i think there was something special about the trump part of reddit in 2016
00:13:25.480
uh but i i seriously have no idea they've lost the mainstream media i don't think cable news will
00:13:32.280
ever be relevant on the left again for years and years maybe ever uh they don't have a twitter
00:13:37.800
replacement they're not going to create one because blue sky is cringy and they all know it they all come
00:13:42.700
back every single one of them uh so yeah like that's we're totally new paradigm think about it
00:13:49.820
i can't think of a social media outlet mark that i'd want to go to without hate i like the hate i
00:13:55.920
like when people hate on me i like it hating on other people it's like i said what makes for good
00:14:00.620
conversation so it makes for fun going on there and telling mark cuban he looks like rosie o'donald
00:14:05.860
that's fun for me you know you're gonna come out here yeah and censor someone for saying something
00:14:13.500
you don't like i mean there's a term for it i can't say it on here i think everyone knows what
00:14:18.700
i'm thinking but i mean is that like the the where we've come to like men are just so hesitant and
00:14:25.960
scared to hear like what other men have to say about them like i i think it's funny when someone
00:14:31.240
curses at me i think it's funny when someone says something demeaning to me because i look at them
00:14:35.240
and i'll say it back and i'll laugh at that i'll say it back but for these beta males mark
00:14:40.060
mark elias this big old tough guy he wants to go out there and do all this election stuff and be a
00:14:45.900
big tough guy and then hide behind my favorites olbermann another one these guys are not tough
00:14:52.860
guys and i'm not a tough guy myself but like you go out there and you're a keyboard warrior and you're
00:14:57.960
a big old tough guy and then blue sky comes along and they say oh you can go on blue sky and nobody
00:15:03.300
will hurt your field look at nature pictures right on over there nature will embrace you will hug you
00:15:10.920
we'll hold you yeah i mean we'll point it out and tell you this guy's mean who the hell wants that
00:15:17.020
what i don't know a woman who wants that mark like you know you gotta unleash your inner plato what i
00:15:24.060
tell these you know what makes them maddest is my favorite is that uh i don't block anybody if you
00:15:29.640
come to my feed i will look i will look at what you say if i have time and engage with it but if what
00:15:35.140
you give me is logical fallacy what i tell them is you just turned yourself into content son like i'm
00:15:41.700
gonna you just turned yourself into content but like you know with the mark cubans of the world i
00:15:46.780
love to try and keep myself to like listen i know he looks like rosie o'donnell i know the glasses are
00:15:51.960
ridiculous but i want to make it about something he said three weeks ago that he now is internally
00:15:57.280
inconsistent with you know i want to register with them that's yeah i know well that's how that's
00:16:03.800
where the ratios come from that's what i'm saying is like somebody said oh mark cuban said this oh
00:16:08.340
the very next reply makes him look like a total clown because he just like that's what he's got no self
00:16:15.500
like awareness of it he's that's the thing that's crazy to me i feel like getting to mark cuban is
00:16:20.380
through the telling him he looks like rosie o'donnell because it's funny it's hysterical not i you know i
00:16:26.440
say don't do the name calling but they've gotten to that level where you the intellect and the logic
00:16:31.300
mark doesn't register in their head when you hit them with the fact and you tell them it's x and and
00:16:37.500
y and they come back and and give you a whole bunch of nonsense that's when i resort to saying you look
00:16:43.540
like rosie o'donnell thank you this is what you look like dylan no because you can't get to their
00:16:49.580
head any other way aside from insults and telling them how stupid they are and so that's the point at
00:16:55.840
which i resort to name calling when i've hit when i've hit the wall uh cross the penumbra
00:17:01.860
and you know and i can't get through them by saying what you're saying is lying this woman my
00:17:08.100
friend's and who uh who messaged me on instagram i'm gonna have to start hitting her with insults
00:17:12.300
now because i've hit the point where nothing i say registers no matt gates did not go to trump
00:17:18.620
university no matt gates was never convicted of any sort of uh underage acts with girls no president
00:17:25.260
trump is not a rapist no president trump's not a fascist it's like you there's no other way to
00:17:31.340
get to them and there is one i'm trying to find it for you i might have we i might have brought this
00:17:37.200
up before your vacation i don't know really great this is one of the best things i read all cycle
00:17:41.940
it's a wall street journal article opinion article david mamet decline and fall of america not yet
00:17:49.300
people just go look it up and read it and the key piece of information there is that the most
00:17:54.060
psychologically damaging thing that you could say to somebody that's integrated into the left
00:17:58.440
is that you're going to be ostracized you're going to be pushed out of the herd you no longer belong
00:18:03.380
you aren't the majority anymore there aren't strength in numbers and i'm trying to figure out
00:18:07.940
like what does that mean in real life um but i would i would love to get there with you and figure
00:18:14.520
out how to weaponize that on twitter i mean it's unbelievable and you i mean you're a lot more well
00:18:20.000
behaved i see all your tweets you're a lot far more well behaved and mature than me and that's
00:18:25.180
fine you know it is what it is i don't care but uh i just i i've i've like lost tolerance and i don't
00:18:31.760
even get mad about it i when someone writes me a hateful message or something i i laugh i think it's
00:18:37.140
funny and as i'm sitting there at two or three o'clock in the morning like an unhinged person uh
00:18:42.260
sending out hateful tweets to people i'm sitting there laughing so just know that people i'm not
00:18:47.100
sitting there yeah no it's fun and it's only marked because they've driven me to that point
00:18:52.600
they've driven me and now lou was the complete opposite louis are you gonna have to harry sisson
00:18:56.780
here oh my harry sisson's another one and he's a kid and all but uh oh the funniest thing oh man
00:19:03.880
somebody somebody said this is what it would look like if nick fuentes and destiny had a child and
00:19:10.200
they showed a picture of harry sisson i laughed at that for like a half hour oh my nick another
00:19:16.460
psychopath harry sisson i think he's like a 14 year old or 15 year old kid like doing grinding
00:19:23.040
videos with his buddy on tiktok like oh what is wrong with you that's not what 14 year old kids
00:19:28.960
do 15 year old kids do i mean oh yeah you light these people up oh man i hope you're not looking
00:19:35.880
at my twitter but you know i just i don't care and lou is the complete opposite lou would lou would
00:19:40.620
sit there and he'd say ignore them ignore them and i couldn't because i knew deep down me and lou were
00:19:45.860
very i'm so mad you didn't get you never got to meet lou because lou would absolutely love you
00:19:49.620
um and one of these days we're gonna come up to church lou's wife is asking to come up to church
00:19:54.700
where you guys go to church and go to church with her so one of these days i'm gonna yeah even though
00:19:58.900
i haven't been in a long time chasing buddha judge oh rightfully so that was a good one that was a good
00:20:05.840
one you're chasing buddha judge rip uh about what did i say no pipe uh oh good you can read that
00:20:14.760
one to the audience that was a good one oh okay well who's this guy stan kushner hired a prostitute
00:20:20.980
to seduce his brother-in-law recorded their sexual encounter and sent tapes to his sister all in
00:20:26.100
retaliation for his brother-in-law's cooperation with a federal investigation and other crimes
00:20:31.000
whatever chasing buddha judge says family values wins again uh because all their horrible family
00:20:36.900
people those trumpsters wait i'm confused is it kushner's fault his brother-in-law fell for the
00:20:43.220
banana in the tailpipe or is it the brother-in-law's fault for cheating on his wife help me out here i
00:20:48.440
don't know i love it there's logic there you know that was a little play on words um but yeah you
00:20:54.320
know uh it's things like that mark that i i have a very interesting sense of humor and some of the
00:21:00.100
lou's tweets that mark elias oh i i have a blast of mark elias some of them get pickups some of them
00:21:05.900
don't but uh lou was the opposite he well he'd say stop giving these people uh any clout you know and
00:21:11.660
he it was easy for lou to say because he had two and a half million people on twitter right so anything
00:21:15.700
he put two and a half million people would see and uh i'd say lou i can't and it's because deep down i
00:21:21.260
knew that younger lou was identical me you know 78 year old lou was identical me too we literally saw
00:21:29.760
eye and eye on pretty much everything that's why we got along so well uh but i know 30 year old lou
00:21:35.280
was sitting there on twitter not that it existed but sitting there angered and wanting to kill
00:21:41.160
somebody and and that's you know i'm looking at it a different way i don't want to kill anybody but
00:21:45.640
you know it angers me so some of lou's tweets it was sort of funny uh i'd do some of lou's tweets
00:21:50.560
back in the day and send them to him for approval and he'd be like i don't think we should do this
00:21:54.720
and uh nonetheless the ones that were like the hard-hitting ones making fun of people
00:21:58.900
were the ones that would do like two million interactions and things like that it's because
00:22:03.460
the people you know they didn't expect it from lou he was a serious guy and uh here here lou firing off
00:22:10.680
a a crazy tweet people were like what the heck's this guy talking about what's this guy doing well and
00:22:17.160
um i want to help you a little bit here the number one this you're gonna love this the number one
00:22:23.240
trick to being a reply guy is to use the following feed not the for you feed because by the time you
00:22:29.760
see it on the for you feed the tweet's so old that you're not going to ratio anybody how do i do that
00:22:34.200
uh okay you go to home and on the top it says for you and that's the algorithm on the right it says
00:22:43.660
following following is just a sequential list of anything the people you follow dump out so i follow
00:22:51.740
keith olberman because the second he tweets i'll see it in the following and i can be the first reply
00:22:57.320
and then so if his tweet yeah if his tweet gets seen by 100 000 people my reply is going to be seen
00:23:04.340
by 50 000 people so this is the way to weaponize twitter and it'll get you more exposure and you
00:23:09.260
get paid more too so you get paid to clown these people jesus i you just created a demon you should
00:23:16.700
have not just told me that because now i am gonna go on a full-fledged hate spree uh with these people
00:23:22.960
because i can't control myself and as luke tried to help me ascended to the next level grasshopper
00:23:28.740
they're angry as hell at mark because he just taught me a new trick but you know i used to never be on
00:23:35.240
twitter and i used to think it was like the dumbest thing in the world and now i find myself before i even
00:23:39.580
open up instagram which used to be my vice i find myself going to twitter because it's just
00:23:43.740
you can see everything from like uh weather for the day to nfl injuries to at the same time one
00:23:51.780
tweet below you can see trump dancing which has become my new favorite videos to watch um it's
00:23:56.980
just such a plethora of information i don't understand how people can't like it no i know i wake up at 4 a.m
00:24:02.700
now tweet for an hour go back to sleep at five for like another hour like yeah and i listen i love
00:24:07.840
kane i love citizen free press but it's like twitter's got it for you know kane's on twitter
00:24:14.160
so like he gets it but um and i often send you twitter dms and send you you got to follow this
00:24:20.100
guy you got to follow that guy and it's like there's new sources i think one of them i follow
00:24:23.940
is called leading report uh leading report i recommend everybody to follow it they literally
00:24:29.880
have the news out like immediately it uh their latest suite right now as many as six
00:24:35.480
senate republicans or perhaps more currently hesitant support trump's pick pete hegseth to
00:24:40.060
lead the pentagon you're not reading that on fox news you're not seeing that on uh this is reported
00:24:45.040
through nbc but you know you're not seeing it on the screen right there because you can send out a
00:24:48.580
tweet like that and get it out there um you know it's things like this that are absolutely changing the
00:24:55.620
world you know they're absolutely they're making life better for people they're making us not have to
00:25:01.940
turn you know happy am mark that i don't have to turn on a tv anymore i turn on a tv one day a week
00:25:07.440
maybe two if the knicks are playing on sunday and i'll watch football it's the only thing i watch and
00:25:13.620
people are like what do you mean you're in this business and you don't watch television no because
00:25:17.860
what do i want to i want to watch people on fox news two republicans kissing each other's asses or
00:25:22.820
a rhino it's in the right yeah the real the real business is i will give youtube its due i know it's
00:25:29.280
owned by the evil google mothership right but youtube is a phenomenal place and that's where i
00:25:34.300
spend most of my non-twitter time uh i love all the creators there because i do think a culture war
00:25:39.400
was fought and won on youtube in the last two years i think all of the woke stuff the pushback
00:25:46.640
started there period and in a way that i don't even think the entire conservative infrastructure knew
00:25:53.420
about used weapon like you know like you got the daily wire folks on there making a ton of money
00:25:58.900
you got a lot of independent influencers that have really come up big but it's the entire network
00:26:04.500
i mean of of everybody and it's like they do a stream somebody goes on somebody else's stream
00:26:09.300
it's it's all like joined ranks it's really crazy yeah they're total and i gave credit where it was
00:26:15.160
due with amazon i'm gonna go out here and call it uh youtube for being a bunch of pansy losers
00:26:19.880
uh i think we're on our youtube channel we've got two strikes on there the third one we're off and i
00:26:24.620
don't care i've tested every single day because i don't care go ahead kick us off there we don't
00:26:29.140
i don't care i'm not going to cater to you and bow down to you and you know what the two strikes
00:26:34.000
are for mark medical disinformation yeah of course the only people i've had on this show and lou had
00:26:39.840
on this show to talk about uh very few doctors we have on this show uh dr harvey rice is one of them
00:26:45.020
epidemiologists um uh undergrad at uh ivy league schools medical school ivy league schools um that
00:26:52.620
was one of them uh dr oz another one we've had on this show maybe three or four doctors we've had
00:26:57.540
on the show all very very strike for dr oz i don't know i don't think it was i'm just how old were those
00:27:03.400
strikes that's wild recently last six months dr peter mccullough another one and dr robert malone i
00:27:09.600
think they were the ones who got us the two strikes but i don't i'm not going to sit here and
00:27:13.040
apologize to you we have rumble which we do a good audience on and this audio is we do a massive
00:27:18.340
number on um but they they censor us for um medical disinformation so i asked youtube and i'm going to
00:27:27.820
go ahead and pull the find this after we do the show here i i said what part of it is medical
00:27:32.840
disinformation if you can tell me what's medical disinformation what was said by lou or if it was me
00:27:39.220
at the time what was said by either of us or what was said by the doctor that is incorrect because
00:27:44.720
if something that was said incorrectly i will go out here and i will write a retraction personally
00:27:50.020
and have lou or myself read it on air oh i'm sorry we can't get into particulars about what it was about
00:27:55.820
well i'm sitting here whether uh willing to admit a wrong even though i know there was no wrong there
00:28:02.640
which is why i wrote that email um willing to admit a wrong uh willing to accept responsibility for a
00:28:08.380
wrong and willing to correct a wrong and you can't even tell me what was wrong about it
00:28:12.580
interesting right we're well in and now what you have is the uh report from the commercial
00:28:18.960
congressional committee to shove in their faces and say oh look at this bipartisan committee of people
00:28:24.220
on capitol hill said x y and z so well that's why i think i've gotten one strike and i think it was
00:28:30.900
from putting uh steve bannon videos up they really hate that guy um but we've never been in fact
00:28:36.340
youtube has been our number one partner in spreading medical disinformation so i don't know
00:28:40.520
how you guys got a strike for it but yeah um they've shown our vaccine polling to thousands and thousands
00:28:47.020
of people you must have got hidden in the algorithms because they i mean yeah we were flying under the
00:28:53.100
radar i'm sure but yeah it was two back-to-back um two back-to-back strikes within the matter of a
00:28:59.680
week and they said oh that's horrible your third one you guys are out of here and i said the little
00:29:03.780
and you know lou used to get mad and i'm like who cares we don't need a many we do a very small
00:29:08.740
audience on youtube we just put it out there so that people can get it if they want to or whatever
00:29:13.400
you know some people don't like going to rumble or uh wherever else we broadcast it um but i mean
00:29:19.540
it literally just it's it's crazy to think that when i go to you and say what did i do wrong i'm willing
00:29:25.140
to apologize for what i did wrong uh and make right what i did wrong and they come back and say
00:29:30.720
we can't tell you what you did wrong and that's when you know that you did absolutely nothing wrong
00:29:36.820
well preserve your documents is all i uh we got to hope these guys uh you know we'll conclude with
00:29:45.400
this we've got to hope these guys um in this congress and you know you're going to be responsible
00:29:50.580
for this as much as i am mark we've got to keep the pressure on these people and i'm not saying
00:29:54.840
like this is this is fair game we're gonna like hey what's your what is your favorability rating
00:30:00.760
of google a respected scientist did a study that suggested that 21 million people had their minds
00:30:07.820
changed up by google blah blah blah is this a good thing or a bad thing for democracy would you support
00:30:13.400
or oppose a congressional investigation or an investigation by the federal election commission
00:30:18.760
into election interference by the internet giant google i mean like these are valid questions
00:30:24.660
i think we should pull on them you know and i'm i don't have any hostility towards them
00:30:30.840
well okay but how can we live in a country a representative democracy when the largest corporate giants
00:30:40.860
are credibly accused of election interference right it's not gonna work yeah and uh you know the other
00:30:49.160
thing i think we got to keep our foot on the pedal on is you just mentioned election interference the
00:30:53.740
2020 election uh i want to know what the hell happened mark and i'm sure you do more than i do
00:30:59.300
you did some numbers i want to know what happened in 2020 i want to know why the democrats got so many
00:31:05.380
votes i want to know um why it was the largest voter turnout in the history of the country under
00:31:11.080
a country that was in lockdown order uh you know i want to know how the most unpopular presidential
00:31:18.400
candidate in the history of our country who campaigned from a basement turned out to be the
00:31:22.740
most popular candidate in the history of this country there's things like that that i want answers to
00:31:28.720
that i i think as americans we deserve the answers to yeah yeah we're gonna get them i'm very positive on
00:31:35.900
that one uh i've called for a national election integrity commission i'm not sure what form it's going
00:31:44.060
to take but i've heard that they're talking about that behind the scenes i think accountability is
00:31:47.760
coming i think people um multiple people uh attached to the trump administration or campaign have said
00:31:54.620
that there will be accountability trump himself said do not cheat in this election you will go to jail
00:31:59.300
chris lasavita said according about people in bucks county they will all be in jail and um i think that
00:32:09.800
people saw this coming i do think that there was probably an aspect of evidence collection that was
00:32:14.420
happening and i can say from a public opinion standpoint people think that 2024 was less dirty
00:32:19.860
than 2020 although they still have some concerns there was cheating uh i think the number was in the 40s
00:32:26.080
that's way better than the 66 that who thought it was going to be stolen going into it right something
00:32:31.860
very special about the 2020 election that completely lost everybody's faith and i do think they
00:32:37.880
didn't i think i think you got two things going on i think you have the normal democrat playbook and
00:32:43.040
then you also have in 2020 ubiquitous mail-in ballots i think those two overlapped to create a perfect storm
00:32:50.040
of biden ridiculousness and we don't have the mail-in thing to the same extent but you still have
00:32:57.060
the traditional democrat playbook which i don't think got worse i think it's only getting better
00:33:01.500
and it will continue to be a problem yeah i will agree to disagree on the playbook i mean
00:33:07.860
this playbook i thought they ran this last time was uh asinine uh kamala harris the mark go back
00:33:15.000
to mark cuban uh saying he didn't talk about the candidates i'm talking about all the stuff that
00:33:20.760
happens underneath the grassroots all the stuff that the sun don't shine on you're talking about
00:33:25.900
the thievery yes yes because of the candidates i mean they couldn't have they couldn't have done
00:33:33.040
any worse than they've done aside from the candidates i mean the people would have been
00:33:37.860
laughable in his own special way i think gretchen went where would have been an embarrassment as well
00:33:42.760
like i don't think any of them are great as she was definitely a bad candidate but to be honest with
00:33:48.080
you our polling and biden's internal polling both showed that he was going to win or lose in a
00:33:54.260
massive 400 electoral college vote landslide apparently her polling said the same thing
00:33:58.900
though uh the stuff that we heard leaked about the internal polling was specifically i think the
00:34:06.220
baldwin camp said oh she's down she's down in uh what's baldwin wisconsin i always mix it up
00:34:13.540
um eric obvi yeah yeah so that one she was down in and i'm like oh look at that uh that means my
00:34:23.160
polling is to the left of because i had him tied or harris up so that was one of the first data points
00:34:29.040
i had wow the kamala harris internal polling is to the right of rasmussen reports right and that's all
00:34:35.340
that's all we heard and then after the after the fact david plough came out and said well her internal
00:34:40.760
polling never had her winning doesn't mean how much i think it was probably something along the
00:34:46.600
lines probably a little bit to the right of us because i was about a half a point two left so
00:34:50.420
probably accurate uh you know she she was never going to lose trump was never going to win in this
00:34:56.340
election more than 312 against her i don't think yeah so she saved the democrats down ballot and got
00:35:02.580
85 whatever uh 85 electoral votes uh as a crappy candidate uh you know what i mean like it's closer
00:35:12.700
it was closer than it should have been and everybody could say oh well you know two billion dollars and
00:35:18.740
the actors didn't really buy him anything well me like it wasn't her so well was it really her mark or
00:35:27.700
was it the thievery it was it was the democrat game that's what it was and it's like you got to
00:35:36.240
spend that two billion bucks but some of that money is going towards uh you know mobilizing nursing homes
00:35:42.460
and bussing people from chicago to milwaukee like they know what they're doing and uh you know the
00:35:50.060
republicans are getting better bit by bit uh but it's a different type of warfare it's the the you're not
00:35:57.360
going to fix it until the legal aspect is addressed you know a state we talked about a lot in this
00:36:02.440
election by the way i want to point something out before i get to that uh let me write that down
00:36:06.940
before i forget but um um the hell just slipped my mind oh we we still have a race mark we're still
00:36:16.140
waiting on one congressional race to be called oh dear lord tell me how a month after the election
00:36:21.000
nearly a month after the election do we have a race in california now the one where um
00:36:26.120
another california race that i think her name is michelle steel hung up she was taking she was
00:36:32.020
leading leading leading boom all of a sudden she loses by a few hundred votes we now have one more
00:36:36.940
race um that's was republican republican republican i think his name is durate durante or something yeah
00:36:43.940
yeah okay uh is up up up up and now all of a sudden it flips and it's the last one we're waiting on
00:36:48.800
how the hell in america a month after the election with the congressional district with less than a
00:36:54.640
million people in it are we still counting votes i mean it's right before our eyes and nobody's
00:37:00.580
talking about it because it's only one seat but the one seat makes a difference because
00:37:04.340
president trump uh nominated a few people who are members of congress to serve at various roles
00:37:10.380
at least the phonic you've got waltz you've got gates leaving congress uh i think you've got one or
00:37:15.740
two more congressmen which now puts it if they lose all those seats at the republican on a one seat
00:37:20.120
majority some people may say it's only one seat they have a five or they have a six seat it's not
00:37:24.420
a majority factually it's de facto it's not a majority this tells me a couple things okay
00:37:31.400
first i have conjecture and then i have an assumption okay the conjecture is that
00:37:39.440
trump pick mac gates trump pick cash patel trump has a list of things that he's going to take a
00:37:47.580
wrecking ball to to quote words that other people have used i don't think a trump a post 2020 trump
00:37:54.300
is not going to do something to address election integrity so i think that's coming what form will
00:38:00.460
it take there's there's nothing he can do now there's nothing he can do about the california races
00:38:05.040
they've only been in charge of the rnc for six months it's not enough time to clean house they
00:38:09.420
don't have the resources they don't have the funding infrastructure they don't have control of
00:38:13.880
anything in dc at all except for like literally the building of the rnc um so i think that's coming
00:38:20.520
and then the other is based on those picks pulling people out of congress not bringing more attention to
00:38:27.080
these congressional races not doing more in my opinion they could have done more stuff to make sure
00:38:33.500
that maga candidates were running to make sure they were being funded it didn't happen and so my
00:38:39.220
assumption is is that trump's plans do not hinge on legislative wins yeah not not what he's it'd be
00:38:48.060
great to have but like obviously he's going to be focused on uh executive orders and cleaning up the
00:38:57.460
apparatus and um i don't know what kind of laws are going to come up they're probably going to need to
00:39:03.160
but if the house and senator deadlocked for the next year or two like is that such a bad thing i
00:39:09.020
don't know yeah yeah you know as i was talking to my father he said it's actually not the worst thing
00:39:14.560
in the world to have a deadlocked senate when it comes to the markets so if you look at it from one
00:39:18.400
way uh the thing i had mentioned right the thing i had mentioned before was uh new jersey uh uh be coming
00:39:26.020
into play and i see you talking about it and uh i hammered you on it a bunch of times as we spoke before
00:39:31.640
the election i kept saying i think new jersey's in play i think new jersey's in play new jersey's in
00:39:35.680
play and you told me it's not in play and i have to admit it wasn't in play it's still not in play
00:39:39.960
no i understand that but you had said it brought up a good point on twitter and you said if the
00:39:45.040
democrats say arizona and georgia and florida in play then new jersey is in play and new jersey is
00:39:49.900
going to be a swing state oh yeah but you look at guys like scott pressler and he doesn't get
00:39:55.020
enough uh i guess credit for what he's done in pennsylvania and uh some people say he single
00:40:01.140
handedly won pennsylvania for donald trump now i don't know if that's true or not but uh i think
00:40:05.660
a lot of numbers suggest that you err on the side of that's probably mostly true antonio brown has
00:40:13.420
him up for an award antonio brown the football player uh as cracker of the year award coming up on
00:40:18.720
december 27th there goes the racism again um new york post has him as uh this headline how a long-haired
00:40:26.380
gay giant helped trump flip pennsylvania red i want to be cracker of the year how do you how do you get
00:40:32.520
that award you know antonio brown you reach out to him he's just speaking of you know what nobody
00:40:39.260
thinks it's racist it's funny it's a joke it's hilarious with it right um you know only the blue
00:40:45.620
hair liberals would get upset about something like that yeah they would be offended for me
00:40:49.460
exactly exactly how you're not offended how do you have any self-respect here's the math well you said
00:40:56.980
that one thing about new jersey and arizona i think that's a very good point arizona went trump i think
00:41:01.560
the final number was five and a half new jersey went harris by 5.9 yeah so if you draw the line for
00:41:08.860
battlegrounds at five percent neither arizona or new jersey are battlegrounds but hold on one second
00:41:15.520
real quick sorry to interrupt you and everyone gets mad at me they tell me i speak in soliloquies
00:41:20.220
and i and i interrupt too much but i have a question how much did joe biden win new jersey
00:41:26.180
by in 2020 16 points okay so now you look at a factor of 16 in 2020 you look a factor of five
00:41:33.420
how as a brilliant pollster and i'm not saying this is a joke because i think you truly are one of the
00:41:39.300
smartest pollsters there is out there aside from being one of the smartest people i have on the show
00:41:42.980
how do you look at it when you see it move by a factor of uh two times to trump's favor in four
00:41:51.240
years what do you see it moving in another four years uh the way i would look at that is you got
00:42:00.440
to separate the electorate versus the public opinion uh and they're connected right but they're two
00:42:06.780
different variables and it's harder for me to predict electorates um but what i like to do is
00:42:12.700
see what shifts over time and that part is totally up in the air we have no idea we'll get some early
00:42:19.800
ideas based but trump is not in office we don't know how his administration its policies are going
00:42:25.400
to be perceived we'll probably start doing vance matchups against generic dem or a full field of all
00:42:33.620
kinds of weirdos in like you know the summer that'll be our first read okay and so if it's like
00:42:40.260
wow the trump administration's cooking and their vance is picking up a lot of support then i think
00:42:47.480
you're into the discussion that okay like new jersey is in play and then now we have i don't know what his
00:42:54.440
budget's going to be looking like but if you have scott presler working on new jersey the entire time for
00:42:59.260
four years um i mean i would love to see him work for two years and see what that does to state
00:43:04.960
legislature there and stuff like that because i would love to see a lot of the nanny state garbage
00:43:09.160
they've done roll back but six percent of nine million people okay it's less than that because
00:43:16.460
the electorate so let's call it eight million six percent there's four hundred eighty thousand that's
00:43:20.460
what the margin was roughly in votes okay presler could probably make up i don't know half of that
00:43:27.660
two-thirds of that just by registering people over the next couple of years it's just a matter of
00:43:32.740
money so yeah new jersey's in play absolutely and it's like okay trump's gotta do his job uh and we'll
00:43:41.860
see how that works and there will be responses to this democrats aren't just going to sit back and let
00:43:46.980
it happen but uh it's just as in play as arizona is they've got i think they've got no choice play
00:43:52.680
the crazy thing you mentioned keep mentioning money about scott presler i think scott runs like
00:43:56.680
like a low low low low budget operation uh just on crowdsource funding i think is uh early vote
00:44:05.220
action is his his pack i mean i didn't see the rnc dumping millions of dollars into scott presler's
00:44:10.560
operation yet uh i did see scott presler posting pictures every single weekend at state fairs um
00:44:16.340
which i mean is unbelievable that he was managed to help trump by going to state fairs i mean you think
00:44:23.940
about it as someone as a politico like myself and like you and you say how is that even possible
00:44:29.700
yeah he's a force of nature and he's clowning the republicans i i don't know like i haven't looked at
00:44:35.560
the fec filings but i'm just going to guess if you took that two billion that the democrats spent this
00:44:40.500
time there's probably another billion we don't even know about yeah and then there's probably what's
00:44:45.500
that kamala harris has it in her bank account oh yeah well there's that but i you know um
00:44:50.640
so then out of that two billion they probably spent i don't know five six hundred million
00:44:56.160
is my guess on grassroots mobilization door knocking canvassing vote collection mules blah
00:45:03.940
blah blah blah blah how much did the republicans spend on that this time the number has to be like
00:45:10.160
50 million 100 maybe 100 million maybe the democrats are outspending the republicans five to one
00:45:18.260
but i wouldn't be surprised if it was higher i have no idea but it's not a lot because dc controls
00:45:23.860
where the republican money goes the senate controls where the republican money goes the coke brothers
00:45:28.840
like all the club for growth elon bill ackman uh you know look at how much money trump raised after
00:45:38.360
2020 yeah it went towards election integrity but it didn't because ronna mcdaniel
00:45:43.760
so what happens if that money gets funneled into things that republicans have not traditionally spent
00:45:49.900
money on that's what i'm interested in seeing because in my opinion that's the two upsets election
00:45:54.340
integrity commission rejigger the entire conservative fundraising infrastructure and they got to do it
00:46:00.900
they like it can't just be pie in the sky they can if they can rejigger as you like to put it
00:46:06.980
our election integrity i don't even mean rejigger it i mean just get these states to start following the
00:46:12.280
laws right simply follow the law if they can get our immigration issue under control if we get
00:46:18.980
legitimate censuses drawn in 2030 there's no reason the republicans shouldn't win elections every single
00:46:25.240
year and not get blown out but it's going to come down to the republicans with a backbone forcing and
00:46:32.780
this is where elon musk comes into play forcing these weak-kneed rhinos i invite everyone to go look
00:46:39.100
at the senators up for re-election in 2026 they've got to go some of these folks uh mitch mcconnell uh one
00:46:46.660
of them um rhinos across the damn board we've got to stop normalizing it you know the the john mccain's
00:46:54.680
of the world he's gone it's over this is the trump party this is the maga party we've got to stop
00:47:00.540
normalizing this bullshit go look at these senators conservative that's normal you you start this
00:47:06.880
whole segment talking about duarte okay go to heritage action for america his voting score is 41
00:47:12.880
right the average house republican is 74 so he is an establishment republican guy totally not aligned
00:47:21.780
with maga at all and he lost right so like but he shouldn't have lost like stealing he shouldn't have
00:47:27.000
he should have been lost by republicans growing a pair and getting him the hell out of there he
00:47:32.700
shouldn't have lost by losing now i often say this on the show having a democrat's the same thing as
00:47:37.220
having a rhino uh they're not there when you need them and they vote the party lines the other time
00:47:41.600
when you don't need them so it makes absolutely zero difference if you have a democrat or a rhino
00:47:46.260
but what i mean is it's got to come down to mark the voters saying enough is enough it's got to come
00:47:52.860
down to people like you and i educating them and saying this is where they lie uh this is where
00:47:59.040
they stand when uh i'll never forget lou sent me out to go do a man on the street interview
00:48:03.200
on january 3rd of 2021 days before january 6th and it was before the runoff election
00:48:11.660
of kelly leffler and david purdue the question lou had me asking them not about the election
00:48:18.240
why are we down here supporting two rhinos and and i'm like lou you're gonna get me killed by
00:48:24.040
these people who are there for a trump rally and he goes no i want you to ask that question and he
00:48:27.780
never told me what questions to ask i would go to him and say this is what i'm gonna ask and he aired
00:48:31.640
every segment on fox business and he said i want you to ask them why are we here supporting two rhinos
00:48:37.940
when we should be supporting a president who just had an election stolen from them and i'm like all
00:48:41.400
right lou you know what i'm gonna ask you because you're my fault but you're just trying to get me
00:48:44.540
beat up and mark not one person rebuffed me not one person said well you can't be thinking like
00:48:51.660
that you know nine out of ten people sat there and they they were taking it back and they said
00:48:56.800
you know you're actually right you're actually right and this is why lou was so damn brilliant
00:49:02.380
and i miss talking to the damn guy every single day because i got smarter as the days went on now
00:49:06.880
i'm getting dumber as the days go on but you know we have to stop normalizing and there was
00:49:12.100
nobody like lou mark and i say all the time i wish you got to meet him withholding these people
00:49:17.580
accountable lou would go out there and he made more enemies than he made friends but it was the
00:49:21.840
right enemy to make the lindsey grams of the world lou never liked hannity once a week yeah no he he was
00:49:29.980
very clear about who he didn't like there was no if ends or buts there was no him calling behind the
00:49:35.640
scenes to president trump saying you got to get rid of this guy lou went on air he had a problem with
00:49:39.500
kirsten nielsen the department of homeland security he went on air and called her out for all her
00:49:43.680
nonsense and president trump was at the border the next day with her and said ann coulter doesn't like
00:49:48.940
you and by the way lou dogs eat your guts this is a new story that you can go read that apparently
00:49:54.180
he said to kirsten nielsen um he went out there and he said it how it is and there's nobody like that
00:49:59.900
hannity's of the world yeah hannity's a nice guy he's a he's a good guy but uh putting lindsey
00:50:04.840
graham on air every single night what is that doing that's normalizing this behavior that we're
00:50:09.500
talking about that should not be normalized mark yeah i don't like is it even hannity normalizing
00:50:16.520
lindsey graham or is it lindsey graham normalizing hannity like that's you know what i mean like
00:50:21.340
they are normal that's the problem and there needs to be a new change because there's a lot of great
00:50:28.300
people working on changing conservatism in america and building a new mag infrastructure
00:50:33.540
the problem is is that they're all independent actions and they're like they go on bannon that's
00:50:39.560
the problem it's like you got like the precinct strategy guys they are right that's a great
00:50:45.340
strategy they've been working on it for years it's going to take another 20 years that's great but how
00:50:50.680
does that become a centerpiece of the republican party who says like hey republicans across the country
00:50:59.560
we're at the top now and this is the way the wind's blowing and you're not going to be hostile
00:51:04.540
to these guys anymore and we're going to get somebody in every single one of those seats
00:51:07.760
right same same thing for vetting same thing for public opinion same thing for grassroots
00:51:14.060
like you've been to cpac probably it's a bunch of independent organizations just knife fighting each
00:51:20.220
other for scraps and what really happens is all the money goes to a tight club of folks that just
00:51:25.980
put the same direct mailers out and massive like no bid contracts year after year and it doesn't
00:51:32.260
work like i'm i'm making enemies here too like they do more than that but it hasn't been working
00:51:37.580
voters say it hasn't been working you talked about how great mike lindell was republicans wanted mike
00:51:42.280
lindell to be in the rnc chair yeah because they trusted him period they knew that he was going to
00:51:46.800
change they wanted harmeet dylan second after him nobody wanted rana and that's exactly what the
00:51:51.940
republicans gave the republican voters oh here you go same old crap nope and uh we don't have that
00:51:57.300
anymore and so it's got like that's step one there's got to be 50 other steps i don't know what
00:52:02.540
they are and i don't know who's thinking about that trump's going to have his hands full hopefully uh
00:52:07.960
laura trump michael whatley are up to the task i don't know what kind of people they're going to
00:52:11.480
employ and work with um yeah here's a solution to it and i'm no brilliant strategist but i
00:52:21.140
um been in this business it's really the only thing i know aside from knowing how to fly a
00:52:26.220
plane which i probably don't even know how to do anymore um but the normalization comes from the
00:52:31.500
fox news is of the world it comes from the cpacs of the world the news max is of the world and i'm
00:52:36.100
not saying these are bad organizations for you know a lot of them provide a good thing cpac provides a lot
00:52:40.860
of money to folks news max is the alternative to rhino fox news but having these people on air giving
00:52:47.380
them a platform allowing them to come to spew out allowing that allowing lindsey graham to go on
00:52:53.260
sean hannity's show and give out his email his uh his his website to donate money that's normalization
00:53:00.880
that's allowing these folks to think it's okay sean hannity says he's a republican and i don't
00:53:07.280
dispute that he's a republican but why is sean hannity going out there knowing uh lindsey graham's not a
00:53:13.740
good good guy hannity loved lou i mean absolutely loved him and he knew lou's opinion on um lindsey
00:53:20.920
graham and he knows how smart lou is and how good of an instinctive character he had why is hannity
00:53:27.020
what is hannity getting out of it he doesn't need the money what there's got to be a deeper reason
00:53:31.920
of why he has him on he's horrible on tv nobody cares to watch lindsey graham the guy's total milk
00:53:38.560
toast uh comes to the table with nothing he goes on fox news talks foreign policy and tries to start
00:53:44.560
a new war each and every time he's on yeah um i why why is sean hannity and i'm only using sean
00:53:53.000
because he constantly has lindsey graham on there's far worse uh uh republican senators but those folks
00:54:00.340
you see on msnbc i saw uh what's his name is it john bozeman of montana i think was on um uh with
00:54:09.160
jonathan carl and he said something like oh i'm i'm fine with uh christopher ray staying it makes sense
00:54:14.920
he's a democrat he's on abc with jonathan or whatever the hell yeah right we're on it makes sense but
00:54:20.840
you got hannity sitting there propping up lindsey graham it makes you think uh lindsey graham also known as
00:54:27.180
lady g uh it makes you think you know what is hannity getting out of it why is he doing it i'm
00:54:36.400
not making any slights at sean no no sean to be a good guy but there's innocent explanations i don't
00:54:43.080
know what all of the explanations are you probably know better than me but the two off the top of my
00:54:47.600
head are like they're either really close friends or there's an aspect of like differentiation where
00:54:53.520
it's like hannity i've been in the business forever and i can get these big names to come on
00:54:58.360
and other people can't that's the only thing i can think of uh you brought up a really valid like
00:55:03.480
great point though about newsmax fox news in general it's like understanding the inside the behind the
00:55:11.420
scenes the change the infighting the restructuring that's kind of ugly stuff that you might not want
00:55:17.020
to put as your first step forward and maybe some people maybe some boomers like watching the cable
00:55:22.500
they just want to see that the republicans have their act together and the truth is they don't and
00:55:28.220
we all know it because we watch independent news sources and we're tied to political circles um but
00:55:34.860
maybe that's not what you run with on primetime news i don't know maybe just some people can't handle
00:55:38.980
it so the the i'll um tell you about one of your theories and why it's incorrect um the the fact
00:55:46.760
of getting a big guest believe it or not mark these guys can reach out to anybody and when we worked for
00:55:53.000
lou if you reached out to a guest they heard lou dobbs um they'd run i mean they literally if you
00:55:59.660
asked them for 100 bucks 200 bucks 300 bucks to get up which i've told people actually do this they
00:56:04.660
uh are bribed and get money through backdoor channels i never personally witnessed it happen
00:56:09.920
on any of lou's shows because if lou didn't like somebody you could have given lou a million dollars
00:56:13.900
and he wouldn't have had you on but these guys can get any guest when tucker calls when lou calls when
00:56:19.320
hannity calls they run so the big guest idea and i'm not even sure lindsey graham's a big guest anyway
00:56:25.960
he can't be good for the rating so i'd take the damn guy uh what's his name is it kennedy out of
00:56:31.300
louisiana the guy who's always doing the funny stuff uh that's kennedy not cassidy i i mean over
00:56:37.120
lindsey graham not for nothing i'm i'm tired of having politicians that's why i don't have politicians
00:56:41.820
really on the show anymore because it's the same old bs what do you get out of hillbilly uh ranch
00:56:48.260
on uh rumble saying hannity is a rhino neocon biggest problem is the traitor neocon republicans
00:56:54.440
you know it may be the case i don't know it but it makes you wonder um why you know if you
00:57:02.000
love president trump that much and you love the republican party so much why are you helping it
00:57:07.140
self-destruct and i encourage every single person i hope mark does polling on every single one of
00:57:13.640
these states um for 2026 but now is the time folks now is the time for 2026 we're in just over a month
00:57:21.660
just under a month rather we're going to be in 2025 you've got to start supporting candidates the only
00:57:27.860
way to get these people out is to primary them out and don't think that someone's too big to go
00:57:32.240
eric canter was the third or fourth most powerful person in washington and got ousted by a nobody um
00:57:39.380
it can happen it will happen you just have to put your money where your mouth is don't give money to
00:57:46.060
these people five dollars ten dollars don't you know they're not helping your calls go on conservative
00:57:51.860
uh uh uh what what was the site you were on to see the ratings you can go on heritage action yeah
00:57:58.600
heritage action does a very good job look at what these people are voting on just because they have
00:58:02.580
an r next to their name doesn't mean they're republicans a lot of times it actually means they're
00:58:06.900
rhinos i mean uh people are looking where to sink money like go watch steve bannon find a cause you
00:58:13.200
like put it behind 10x the vote put it behind turning point put it behind scott pressler yeah
00:58:18.240
uh maybe someday in the future like maybe the rnc now i think they did a good job this time as good
00:58:25.300
as can be expected um with what they had to work with yeah right exactly ron has spent every dollar
00:58:31.940
on botox i mean you go that's and i'm not that's not even a joke you can't sue me for that because it's
00:58:37.980
actual yeah i remember seeing oh look at they were spending on on decorations and flowers and
00:58:43.620
it was the tune of hundreds of thousands when lou saw it man his his his heart dropped out of it i
00:58:49.500
mean he was furious uh they were spending hundreds of thousands on black car service on uh flower
00:58:56.400
floral arrangements on uh supplies at the damn staples i mean the most absurd things that they were
00:59:03.080
wasting and they were staying in like motel eights right i saw him post a video and like a
00:59:08.660
multiple buddy i wouldn't go i wouldn't stay at a motel six uh for my own safety uh and i have before
00:59:14.640
but i wouldn't now uh you know you'd probably catch me not going away um but that's where the money's
00:59:20.660
being spent folks when you guys are donating to uh these campaigns and and it all goes into a big
00:59:26.620
funnel machine and i don't think a lot of uh ron mcdaniel was spending three hundred thousand
00:59:31.880
office supplies i think there was probably a backdoor funnel no pun intended that was coming
00:59:36.040
back into her um and getting the money back somewhere these people don't get rich on 200
00:59:40.900
grand a year as we've all seen there's another flow of money coming from somewhere and um you know
00:59:47.400
you just got to follow the trail of money but these folks a lot of them are uh savvy and sophisticated
00:59:51.720
with how they're doing it but now people are starting to finally pick up on it but to my point
00:59:56.260
stop giving to the rnc stop giving to these big institutions give to the individual
01:00:01.380
candidate the dollar goes a lot further and primaries are healthy um they weed out the
01:00:07.160
garbage and if you don't do the primaries you're going to be stuck with susan collins i think she's
01:00:12.340
up for re-election in 2026 don't be fooled by now i'm going to make a prediction because we've seen
01:00:17.880
this happen in the past march there's going to be a big vote uh either her or mrakowski i think she's up
01:00:23.420
in 26 there's going to be a big vote now i don't know what it's for and i'm not alex jones because
01:00:29.580
he's the guy who does these kind of predictions i'm actually going to text alex after this and give
01:00:33.860
him my prediction yeah right so there's going to be a big vote that comes up in 2024 2023 i'm sorry
01:00:42.340
2025 or 2026 and um early in 2026 and it's going to be one that's going to be a make or break on
01:00:51.020
something that donald trump wants to get done this is my prediction susan collins and lisa murkowski are
01:00:56.700
going to somehow be tiebreaker votes and uh they're going to bring this thing over the finish
01:01:01.920
line and everyone's going to think susan collins is this great republican she saved donald trump
01:01:07.560
it's the same thing that joe manchin did uh and they're going to think that these people are great
01:01:13.060
republicans she saved donald trump and we just let off the gas and we let her go for another six years
01:01:17.800
and that's exactly my prediction on what's going to happen because we see it the banana in the tailpipe
01:01:22.820
mark it's it's literally like brainless it's so easy to do and that's my opinion that's what i
01:01:29.460
think is going to happen but we can't take our eye off the ball we can't take our foot off the gas
01:01:34.020
they gotta go i think the new paradigm is going to see right through that we've got no choice mark
01:01:40.280
