00:00Why?
00:01Go ahead.
00:02And one more.
00:03There's some new internal Democrat polling that doesn't look great for Democrats, but
00:05it also has 54 percent unfavorability for Republicans in swing states and battlegrounds
00:11for the midterms.
00:12Do you consider those voters capturable for for Republicans?
00:15Yeah, well, we did.
00:16You know, I won every swing state, as you know, by a lot.
00:19And I won the popular vote by a lot.
00:22And we won the counties.
00:23If you look at the counties and district plan, we had 2725 and they had 501.
00:32That's a real.
00:33That's why the map is all red.
00:35So we had a great thing.
00:36Yeah, I think I think winning from the Democrats.
00:39I saw if you look the other night, I made a speech and I introduced two young ladies
00:44who were killed, two killed, viciously, violently killed young, unbelievable, both outstanding
00:52people.
00:53They were killed by illegal aliens and the Democrats wouldn't get up and applaud.
00:58The mothers were, I mean, inconsolable.
01:02They were crying and everybody was crying.
01:05The Democrats sat there with stone faces.
01:07They didn't clap.
01:08They didn't stand.
01:09They didn't do anything.
01:10We had a young man with very serious cancer.
01:14His dream is to be with the police department someday.
01:17And he was introduced.
01:18They didn't even clap.
01:19I mean, they they were disgusting, frankly.
01:23They were disgusting.
01:24There's something wrong with them.
01:27They're deranged.
01:28They're deranged.
01:29Like Jack Smith, they're deranged people.
01:33And I never saw anything like it.
01:34I'm standing up and I introduced the mother and the parents of these two young girls that
01:41were just just recently essentially killed, violently killed.
01:46And the Democrats are like this.
01:50It's so sad.
01:53And I saw this morning with one of them is pretty well known when is arguing, fighting
01:58like crazy over men being able to play in women's sports.
02:02I said, yeah, I thought that was tried.
02:04I thought that was about a ninety five.
02:05I think it's a ninety five percent issue.
02:08But in a way, I want him to keep doing it because I don't think they can win a race.
02:12I tell the Republicans, I said, don't bring that subject up because there's no election
02:16right now.
02:18But about a week before the election, bring it up because you can't lose.
02:22And everything's transgender, this transgender, that, you know, it's they have bad politics.
02:29But one thing they stick together, you know, I wish the Republicans stick together mostly.
02:35But we have a couple that are grandstanders.
02:37You know, you always have grandstanders in life.
02:40But the Democrats, they don't seem they have grandstanders.
02:43But when it comes to a vote, they do stick together.
02:45Right, sir.
02:46When you say they'll stick together on the shutdown, will that hurt Democrats going into
02:49midterms?
02:50Well, if they do a shutdown and ultimately that might lead to very, very high taxes,
02:55because we're talking about a shutdown.
02:57We're talking about getting to work immediately on the greatest tax bill ever passed.
03:02That was the one we did.
03:03It was a renewal and it's an addition to it.
03:06And we're going to cut people's taxes.
03:09And if the if we don't open, the Democrats are stopping all of these good things that
03:15we're providing.
03:16We're providing the greatest package of benefits that this country has ever provided.
03:22The biggest part of that is going to be tax cuts for the middle class and for businesses,
03:26small businesses, employers, people that hire people and jobs.
03:32And if it's shut down, it's only going to be if there's a shutdown.
03:35It's only because of the Democrats.
03:37And they would really be taken away a lot from our country and from the people of our
03:41country.
