00:07:42.800And I will say, I know you saw the ad that Morgan Freeman cut going after Lane Kiffin.
00:07:52.980And it is obscene, so we're not going to play it because I'm also not going to give LSU grief.
00:07:57.380but I did text it to you and and and I think like it it it made your your century oh it did I sent
00:08:05.140it immediately because I had not seen it yet and I said to like everybody in the blank Lane Kiffin
00:08:10.680text group that had like seven text groups going all of them were like not g-rated like group chats
00:08:16.120which made it even more fun and then and the best part was all the former players that came in that
00:08:22.360made it to the NFL they were screaming on the sidelines they were losing their mind they were
00:08:27.320saying this the best game of college football they've ever been to period and they played
00:08:30.800in SEC championship games it just had a different feel to it uh and when and when the loudest pop
00:08:37.640of noise in my entire life was the end zone interception the very end of the game I've never
00:08:42.340heard human voices do that at that level and it was almost like you were shocked when it happened
00:08:47.800because it got so loud in there it was it was incredible look and I'll say that's that's what
00:08:51.760makes college sports so amazing is the emotions the the the in this case the revenge the the like
00:08:58.900the drama i mean it it's drama that that that really makes a difference um i i will say this
00:09:05.360coming week the senate is going to pass the protect college sports act and they're not one
00:09:10.220but two provisions that that your good friend coach kiffin is is directly responsible for there
00:09:16.080There's one that we actually call the Lane Kiffin provision that will make it prohibited for any program to recruit a coach from an opposing team during the season or during the playoffs.
00:09:28.220That's the NFL's rule, that you can only do that during the offseason, not during the season, because it wasn't fair to the Ole Miss players to have their coach leave while they're still playing.
00:09:38.920That's just not right. And so that's going to be the rule now that, yes, you can go recruit coaches, but you can only do it during the offseason so that the players can stay with their coach during the season and the playoffs.
00:09:51.020And then secondly, there's an explicit prohibition on professional players playing in the league. And obviously, LSU tested that to right to the edge. And I think LSU was on the verge of being voted out of the SEC for it and then finally backed back down.
00:10:07.600But both of those provisions, I mean, it was everything I was hearing is that the votes were there.
00:10:14.080And look, I wouldn't want to see LSU out of the SEC because they're a good team.
00:10:17.280And and I like the SEC to be strong and have great rivalries.
00:10:20.640But boy, their their competitors were ticked off.
00:10:23.480And by the way, Senator, I don't know if this happens to you when you're out and about, but it makes me laugh.
00:10:28.060So I think people and I love the listeners of the show.
00:10:30.960So as I'm walking on the on the on the you know, I'm filming and I'm walking the walk of champions.
00:10:37.600there are people that yell at me and they're like, Ferguson, where's Ted?
00:15:21.060And by the way, for people that don't know, you mentioned something that they're in recess with the election.
00:15:25.020Is that a traditional timeline, or is it a little different this time?
00:15:28.540That actually is traditional that you're out during October.
00:15:32.420They're out a little bit earlier in the House than they usually are.
00:15:35.060It's a very small majority, and so they're having a hard time keeping the majority together.
00:15:39.360But it is typical. And the word recess, a lot of times people have a, you know, they think of playtime at school. Look, for every House member, this is the sprint, the final month to Election Day. So they're working harder than they do in session because they're out campaigning and on the campaign trail.
00:15:56.340And so recess just means you're not in session in D.C., but in the sprint in the House, every one of the 435 members is on the ballot, so they're all presumably campaigning, although not all of them have competitive races, so some of them may not be burning the midnight oil.
00:16:12.720in the Senate, a third of us are on the ballot. Every two years, a third of the senators are on
00:16:17.040the ballot. So I'm not on the ballot this time, but the Senate will be out the month of October
00:16:23.000and I'll spend a good chunk of the month of October. I'll basically be raising money and
00:16:26.920or campaigning for my colleagues for the month of October because I very much, I'm going to do
00:16:31.720everything possible to try and help us keep the Senate and keep the House. Yeah. By the way,
00:16:37.000It's very interesting to see now where the politics are going on one specific race that
00:16:42.280everyone's talking about, and that is the El Saeed race.
00:16:46.280Hassan Piker connected to him does seem to be doing damage and just some of the most
00:16:51.280extreme radical things that we've ever seen from a Democratic surrogate that they backed
00:17:33.380I don't think the Democrats are going to abandon El Saeed. I don't think they care. I don't think he can be too extreme for them. Chuck Schumer doesn't care. They don't care. They're just pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the race. He's embracing El Saeed. He doesn't seem to care at all that El Saeed is embracing Hassan Piker.
00:17:51.780I think you will see individual Democrats try to CYA, try to cover their own rear end.
00:17:57.100So, for example, give a listen right now to Cory Booker this weekend trying to run away.
00:18:05.040But let me be clear, Cory is running away on his own behalf, not on behalf of his party.
00:18:09.200But, Senator, you see there in our poll, socialism is viewed even more negatively, as I said, than the MAGA movement.
00:18:16.740President Trump is trying to paint progressives and frankly, all Democrats as socialists.
00:18:22.800And we're seeing one of the big battles play out for progressivism in Michigan right now
00:18:29.240with Abdul Al-Sayed, the candidate there, who did tell me he was a capitalist, by the way.
00:18:34.320But do you think Democrats are drawing a firm enough line between themselves and socialism?
00:18:41.320Again, this is really what the Republicans want to do, focus on a few fringe people.
00:18:46.740I serve in the United States Senate, and I can go through my colleagues left and right.
00:18:51.760I love that little pivot there, Senator, where he's like, well, you know, I serve in the da-da-da.
00:18:57.380But this goes back to that core issue of socialism, which she did bring up by name on Meet the Press.
00:19:04.600Yeah, look, I don't think Democrat leadership is running away from Al-Sayed.
00:19:09.560They want him to win. They're putting money behind him.
00:19:15.220So he was trying to create a little space. But of course, you know, Kristen Welker didn't press back on that. So wait a second, Senator, you're saying Abdul Al-Sayed is fringe. Well, why is Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senatorial Committee supporting him and spending tens of millions of dollars? She didn't ask that.
00:19:33.520She didn't ask the obvious follow-up. Is Comrade Mondami fringe? He's the mayor of the largest city in the country and right now I think the most powerful Democrat in the country. Is AOC fringe? She is one of the top three polling presidential contenders right now in the Democrat Party. By the way, she's polling a lot better than you are, Senator Booker. She didn't ask him that.
00:19:54.360What about Ilhan Omar? Is she fringe? What about the three explicit socialists who beat Democrats in primaries in Manhattan? What about the explicit socialists that is the Democrat nominee in Florida for Senate? What about the explicit socialists that is the Democrat nominee in Oklahoma for Senate?
00:20:13.460What about the explicit socialist who won the Democrat primary in Colorado?
00:20:19.460That actually, and by the way, that's the kind of reception Republicans get when we go on those Sunday shows.
00:20:24.480I guarantee you they would have gone down that list if it were the case on the other side.
00:20:32.020Oh, well, El Saeed told me he's a capitalist.
00:20:36.080Like she just repeats the Democrat talking point and lets Booker pretend there's some daylight.
00:20:43.200Look, let's be clear. The only candidate we've seen the Democrats run away from was Graham Plattner. And they didn't run away when he said he was a communist. They didn't run away when he was repeatedly caught saying racist things. They didn't run away when he was repeatedly caught saying misogynist things. They didn't run away when he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest, a Totenkopf, which is the symbol of the SS and the death camps.
00:36:13.860Not a single member of the Princeton faculty.
00:36:16.920And by the way, if you want to understand why the Democrat Party has gone crazy, why we're seeing a Marxist and Islamist take over of the Democrat Party, in one sentence, the answer to that is that the center of gravity in the Democrat Party has moved from the Union Hall to the University Faculty Lounge.
00:36:37.340It used to be the Democrat was a blue-collar party. It was union bosses were at the core.0.71
00:36:44.280The Democrats have abandoned blue-collar workers. Blue-collar workers now are voting Republican,
00:36:49.780and today's Democrat party are these woke, blue-haired, transgender witches,
00:36:55.760and that's who they're listening to, the kind of people who think Hassan Piker is just awesome.
00:37:02.360And so this article was an article that was written by Jonathan Turley, and I want to read a little bit of it because he really laid into Princeton.
00:41:21.200oppose such measures. However, the hypocrisy is crushing. Today's faculty are responsible for a
00:41:28.640near-complete ideological purging of their ranks. They have created a hostile environment for anyone
00:41:35.780with conservative or libertarian viewpoints, including students who rarely have the opportunity
00:41:40.880to hear from a professor from a center-right perspective at most schools. Most recently,
00:41:47.24040 percent, 4-0, of college faculty admitted they would vote against any Trump supporter
00:41:56.300seeking an academic position regardless of their scholarship or teaching ability.
00:42:02.080Keep in mind that this is only the professors willing to admit such bias. Turley continues,
00:42:09.740Recently, I discussed the example of Fordham University School of Law professor John Pfaff, who called for repercussions, quote unquote repercussions, for professors who do not, quote, recant their view that the 14th Amendment does not protect birthright citizenship.
00:42:32.820so he's explicitly calling we will punish and by punish i assume he means throw off the faculty
00:42:41.100anyone who dares disagree with our left-wing ideology that that it is uh uh turley continues
00:42:51.860not long ago i debated professor randall kennedy at harvard law school about the school's lack of
00:42:56.500ideological diversity i respect kennedy and i do not view him as anti-free speech or intolerant
00:43:02.000Yet when I noted the statistics on the vanishing number of conservative students and faculty in comparison to the nation, Kennedy responded that Harvard, quote, is an elite institution, sorry, is an elite university and does not have to, quote, look like America.
00:43:22.280Now, by the way, these are the same leftists who want to discriminate based on race because they say it must look like America and, in fact, be overrepresented.
00:43:30.080But when it comes to ideology, you know, if you must exclude anyone who disagrees from your views, what you're telling everyone is that your views are weak, that they cannot withstand challenge.
00:43:46.000Look, I will tell you, I was an open conservative in college.
00:43:48.500I was an open conservative in law school.
00:43:50.260In both places, I was in the very distinct minority, but it does make you tougher. It makes you better. You know, my dad joked that I went to Princeton and Harvard and learned to speak liberal. But when you're constantly being attacked, I had, particularly at law school, multiple of my classmates, lots of my professors were open communists.
00:44:09.820So I have, you know, when we're seeing the communists taking over the Democrat Party, this is not the first time I've seen it because they took over the faculty lounges first.
00:44:21.040And that is is is having massive consequences for the Democrat Party and sadly for the country.
00:44:28.640Yeah, no doubt. We'll keep covering it. We'll keep exposing it, especially when we get great information like this.
00:44:33.920It truly is another example of just how the long game is being played by the radical left,
00:44:39.280and they're doing it really, really, really, really well.
