00:04:39.060And, look, the Republicans should win because it's Florida and it's been since 2012 since we've had, I think, a Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate or to a higher office in Florida.
00:04:55.380But who the hell knows, given the DSA is on some sort of a tear.
00:05:00.640Angie Nixon, she certainly felt good about her chances, as she discussed in her victory speech last night.
00:05:07.640Oh, Florida, where working families can thrive, where we have what we need, like good-paying jobs, like a $25 minimum wage, affordable health care, so no one goes thankful simply for trying to stay alive.
00:05:30.000They look at this movement and they call us extreme.
00:05:49.280But in November, she will call me Senator.
00:05:52.040them. Nixon went on to use the same line in an interview with CNN with honestly like a more
00:06:02.720threatening tone. I'm not sure what she's what she's doing here, but watch. And so I look forward0.93
00:06:08.180Ashley Moody to taking you on and to whooping you in November and you will be calling me your

00:08:27.600night and the makeup lady had to like darken my eyebrows because otherwise i look like mr clean
00:08:32.160so it's it's good to have eyebrows you know especially yeah like without a ton of hair on
00:08:39.680the top of one head once had it makes sense and as a woman if your hairline starts way back here
00:08:44.380you need something to break up all the distance it's it's very simple there should be something
00:08:49.460breaking it up anywho um so i don't know are they on a roll is that what we're seeing carl i'll start
00:08:56.260with you on it are the dsa candidates on a roll this woman's not officially dsa from what i read
00:09:01.100she's kind of calling herself dsa but the dsa is like yeah we're not officially behind this this
00:09:07.440gal angie but or ashley trying to keep them yeah angie is the democratic socialist ashley is the
00:09:13.840one she's taking on right well she she affiliated herself with dsa just a little while ago in the0.94
00:09:18.980middle of this campaign and sort of you know unclear to me why she did i guess she wanted
00:09:24.260the nomination but i think that probably renders her unelectable in the general election tom thinks
00:09:30.380Florida was a real long shot for Democrats anyway, but I think this assures that she'll lose it.
00:09:37.040She was on she was and she was always trying to walk some of it back this morning on Morning Joe.
00:09:43.200You know, she said, so do you favor abolishing prisons?
00:09:45.420And she said, no, I favor abolishing privately owned prisons, which is like a mainstream view.
00:09:51.040So I don't really know if she's DSA or not, but clearly in a Democratic primary, that affiliation now helps you all over the country.
00:10:00.380What's up, Tom, with like the, you know, and she she's going to be calling me senator and I'm like, all right, it's a little much, you know, for like a U.S. Senate candidate.
00:10:13.060Like, let's let's save the street threats for the street.
00:10:17.720I mean, this is this is part of her personality and we'll see how it plays.0.84
00:10:22.080I mean, there's a clip going around of her with a bullhorn on the on the floor of the, you know, statehouse.
00:10:27.520Well, wait, we have it. Yeah. Let me play it.
00:15:03.660By the way, it is very interesting that this woman, Angie Nixon, is saying she's DSA, but even DSA doesn't seem to want her.
00:15:13.060Fox News is reporting that Nixon told public radio in July she was DSA.
00:15:17.800But DSA officials told Fox on primary night that she had previously belonged to a local chapter and unsuccessfully sought its endorsement, adding her current membership status was unclear.
00:15:27.800Even they're like, I don't think so. It's a no. But how big a factor was the fact that Vindman sucks so badly? He just sucks. He sucks so much. He just does. I can't help but look at this guy and think even the Democrats were like, we'll take anybody.
00:15:46.380So like the DSA doesn't want this, Angie, but the Democrats don't want this Vindman for as a reminder to our audience.
00:15:52.680Here's Vindman. This is after. Let's see. This is from February of twenty twenty five.
00:16:00.900This is after Trump Zelensky blow up at the White House where J.D. Vance, you know, got in his face and so on.
00:16:06.880Here's here's Vindman back then, the guy who just lost the Democratic primary in Florida.
00:16:10.860i want to know why our ally is allowed to disrespect the united states of america the
00:16:17.320leader the current leader of the city vance owns but let me let me finish an apology
00:16:21.600president trump owes zelinski an apology for the way he's treated for what i didn't i demand it
00:16:27.200i demand it all i can think of when i see that tom is um a line from manhattan murder mystery
00:16:34.060with woody allen i command i command you is this what you do when i command you because if it is
00:16:38.600I won't be commanding very often. He's trying to get Diane Keaton to not go into the neighbor's
00:16:42.760apartment. Great, great movie. Anyway, just like that guy is a wet blanket. Yeah. And that was
00:16:49.760part of the problem. And again, I don't know that Carl and I were talking about this earlier. I mean,
00:16:55.920for some reason, Democrats can't seem to find good candidates in the state of Florida. I'm not sure.
00:17:01.360You know, we're talking about Andrew Gillum. Remember him? He almost beat Ron to say he was
00:17:04.760almost the governor of florida the guy turns out to be a you know drug addict and a just a complete
00:17:09.420mess so i i don't know why democrats have uh trouble finding good candidates particularly
00:17:16.920statewide candidates uh in in the state of florida but vindman was never you know though he was ahead
00:17:24.760in the polls i mean he he just ran a terrible race he's not a very charismatic guy like i said
00:17:29.520And on top of that, from what, you know, I've heard and saw that he wasn't doing a whole lot.
00:20:47.080Let's open the borders. Let's get rid of police. Let's get rid of the Supreme Court. It's like, what what the hell is this? And they have nothing to propose to replace it. You know, they have absolutely no ideas when it comes to what will come next. It's like one big legislative body that only answers to the people every couple of years like the House. That's all there will be.
00:21:06.640So they're advocating the complete overhaul of the United States of America, getting rid of our Constitution.
00:21:34.400Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty, people who were stealing things like toothpaste, people who are stealing things like, you know, soap.
00:21:43.980And that means if you're stealing those things, you need them.
00:21:46.940And we are choosing to protect billion dollar companies like CBS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by.
00:21:59.140So I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city, that there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need.
00:30:33.660But I agree with Andy, and I think with you, Megan, Tom and I certainly agree with this, that what Hakeem Jeffries said, that's, you know, that's never been good enough for the media.
00:30:44.520We don't, you know, when there are Nazis, you know, every once in a while, neo-Nazi will crop up.
00:30:49.840We demand every Republican in office, denounce this person, separate themselves from him, say, they don't, they're not allowed to say, oh, you know, they have some good, we agree with some of the Nazi ideas.
00:31:00.940we just don't agree with all the Nazi stuff. Democratic socialists is a term of art, but
00:31:07.100these are hardcore Marxists, Leninists, Maoists. They're communists, and they praise communist
00:31:12.980leaders. Andy's right. They don't really hide. And for Hakeem Jeffries and none of these Democrats
00:31:18.000to say, I guess Rahm Emanuel has, but to say, no, they're not in our party. They're going to
00:31:23.540have to change. They're going to be in our party. They have to adhere to our platform.
00:31:27.620and hakeem jeffrey that was not a profiling courage and and i dare you know and i'll repeat
00:31:33.540it's not the media wouldn't accept that level of obfuscation from a republican if it was some
00:31:39.500far right nut can i we did just get new polling out about the the presidential race and i i found
00:31:49.240this one really interesting uh a financial times poll almost 2 000 voters registered voters uh and
00:31:56.380it showed over on team GOP that Vance was pulling at 45%. Rubio was the next closest at 20. So
00:32:03.940still on the Republican side, it's Vance's to take or give up depending on what he just decides.
00:32:09.960But on team Dem, Kamala Harris is way ahead. This is awesome. I love this. She's at 26. And
00:32:20.780the next closest is Gavin Newsom at 15. Buttigieg remains high. He's he's kind of always high in
00:32:27.400these polls at 13. Relatively high, I should say. AOC at nine, Shapiro at eight. But Harris at 26,
00:32:34.900you guys like. Is it possible they really will do it again? I know the conventional wisdom is
00:32:42.560you don't renominate somebody who already lost, but, you know, they did it with Trump and he won
00:32:49.500and kamala harris has got the whole the whole 107 days excuse so honestly like she seems to
00:32:57.100be tacking to the left too in like the way she's talking lately there was this one sound bite
00:33:01.320this is like more on the cultural stuff but she sat down with stacy abrams and said the following
00:33:08.080listen here to sat 29 part of the pain of this moment stacy is these so-called leaders who are
00:33:17.180pushing this kind of this this narrative about who is a legitimate American citizen
00:33:23.980among American citizens, this blood and soil narrative that's being pushed at the highest
00:33:31.820levels of our government to suggest that, you know, once again, to hearken back to times when
00:33:38.600it was explicit that there was a hierarchy among Americans and who was superior and whom
00:33:45.540was inferior all citizens and that's what's happening right now okay that was an improper
00:33:54.920use of the term whom um but you tell me talking about i don't know carl you tell me well there's
00:34:05.140american citizens are american citizens i don't i don't know what she's referring to um do you do
00:34:10.880Is it the birthright citizenship thing?
00:34:33.100The longer she campaigned, the lower she went.1.00
00:34:35.560And, and so I don't, I don't, if Democrats nominate her, she's going to have to, well, she's going to have to run a better campaign. Remember this, she didn't, she didn't hold a single press conference.0.58
00:34:46.900She's going to have to change her entire personality.0.98
00:34:52.140I mean, Democrats are really, they are in trouble. I would, I would point out one thing, Megan, though, that what's interesting is, you know, the polls are saying one thing.
00:35:01.360They're saying Kamala Harris is ahead. And most of the polls do say that. But if you go to the
00:35:05.640betting markets, Kamala Harris is not in the lead. In fact, she's down in third or fourth and0.99
00:35:12.160sometimes even fifth place. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is on Polymarket. She's at 20%. She's1.00
00:35:18.180leading Gavin Newsom's in second place. So people who actually are betting on who the nominee is
00:35:22.940going to be in 2028, because they know that Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate. She's1.00
00:35:27.520word salad she doesn't be such a wet blanket tom yes well sorry um these are just these are just
00:35:33.720facts but to your point megan the democrats have they've gotten themselves in a a real problem
00:35:40.200because they just confirmed that they're going to have south carolina is going to be the first state
00:35:44.420so if if you know and that is a built-in advantage for kamala harris with african-american voters0.98
00:35:49.140african-american women in particular and so if someone is going to you know be able they're
00:35:54.040going to have to withstand losing that first state most likely or they're going to have to go around0.96
00:36:01.080black women and go to just basically younger more progressive voters which is what is powers
00:36:05.720powering all these dsa candidates around the country so the democrats have a real uh conundrum1.00
00:36:12.200on their hands for 2028 uh kamala seems like she would be the the establishment option if you will1.00
00:36:19.960right or they're going to go to the left and that could be you know rocana it could be aoc it could0.80
00:36:25.720be somebody else and uh that would also present some some interesting problems for democrats
00:36:32.040potentially i mean the other thing that's interesting too is aoc is you know sort of
00:36:36.360woke one was crazy you know ha ha ha that was so crazy the lives we ruined yeah right but but
00:36:45.160where they're headed is, is way crazier. I mean, it's, it's the idea that if she's trying to
00:36:52.300distance herself from woke one and yet here, the party is coming in with all, you know,
00:36:57.120here, the DSA candidates are coming in with all these like super crazy ideas about abolishing the
00:37:02.020Senate and all of this stuff. How is she going to reconcile that? I mean, how is she even going to
00:37:07.600handle that? It's, it's going to be really interesting to watch.
00:37:09.980it's true crazy talk all right wait we have to spend a minute on what happened with
00:37:15.800south carolina uh of course senator lindsey graham died unexpectedly at age 71 and president trump
00:37:23.040appointed his sister darlene to fill his seat but she's got a run for re-election just like
00:37:30.200anybody would have and right now she's in a runoff with one other republican to see who's
00:37:36.080going to be the republican nominee she's not secured as the republican nominee for the general1.00
00:37:39.660election contest for this seat. They had a debate last night. This is two Republicans,
00:37:44.080Darlene and this guy Norman. And there was kind of a shocking moment when the issue of Taiwan
00:37:50.200came up. It was hosted by Newsmax and my old colleague Greta Van Susteren asked the question,
00:37:55.000watch this. Senator, are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the
00:38:01.740United States? If so, why? I'm sorry, could you repeat the question? Are Taiwan and the South
00:38:08.800china see national security issues for the united states and if so why or how i'm just going to be
00:38:16.440honest here i'm not on national security that i'm not that informed on national security so
00:38:22.420but i do support the military oh god i that i i'm sorry i know she's just pinch hitting but
00:38:33.940that's disqualifying is it not probably yeah she's gonna be a united states senator she's supposed0.97
00:38:39.180to she she is a united states senator now she's supposed to vote on um you know appointments to
00:38:44.440the pentagon and pentagon budget and it's all the more shocking because her brother that was his
00:38:50.700that was that was she didn't get anything through osmosis from her brother about foreign policy
00:38:56.440apparently i mean that's all he talked about nothing uh not even through osmosis not even
00:39:01.920even through sitting in the Senate for the past couple of months, like that. I'm I'm mortified by
00:39:07.240that answer. Like it's not really exactly her fault. Well, she did accept the appointment,
00:39:11.340but has no one looked into whether she knows anything about politics, world events,
00:39:18.860international events like this actually is an important thing to understand as a U.S. senator?
00:39:22.760Yeah, I think she may have just lost the runoff with that one statement.
00:39:32.240Ralph Norman actually answered the question.
00:45:18.940I now have my very own channel on Sirius XM.
00:45:22.100It's called the Megan Kelly Channel, and it is where you will hear the truth, unfiltered, with no agenda, and no apologies.
00:45:28.220Along with the Megan Kelly Show, you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan, Emily Jashinsky, Jesse Kelly, Real Clear Politics, and many more.
00:45:37.580It's bold, no BS news, only on the Megan Kelly Channel.
00:45:41.280Sirius XM 111 and on the Sirius XM app.
00:45:48.700I want to move on to Jason Arday because the latest in that case is crazy.
00:45:55.760And all three of you, in addition to being very smart politics editors, are journalists and understand what the rules would be and when reporting a big story.
00:46:04.120And that's what this case has now come down to, whether the people who reported on Jason Arday's many, many lies are to blame, whether they were irresponsible in reporting the lies because he ultimately chose to take his own life when caught in the midst of his own created scandal.
00:46:23.940And like the most galling thing, I've seen the activists.
