00:00Good evening, everybody. I'm Joey Jones, along with Tommy Lahren, Kaylee McGee-White,
00:08and Mark Thiessen, and welcome to the Big Weekend Show. We've got a big story tonight.
00:13We're just two days away from Election Day as early voting ends this weekend in states with
00:17bellwether races. In New Jersey, rising costs and crime under leftist policies could help
00:22Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Cittarelli flip the state red. In Virginia,
00:27Winsome Earl Sears is banking on the country's shift to the right as she campaigns on culture wars.
00:32And finally, in New York City, Democrats are leaning into socialism as Zoran Mamdani continues to be the
00:38frontrunner in polls. The outcome of these elections, well, they could shape the 2026 midterms and
00:43determine the country's future. We're speaking with New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa
00:48and Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earl Sears for tonight's two big close-ups as they're
00:55making their final pitches to voters. And we have Team Fox coverage on all three key races.
01:00But right now, we have Alexis McAdams covering the New York City mayoral race and Rich Edson
01:05reporting on the ground in Virginia on the governor's race there.
01:09But we begin tonight with Brian Yenis, who has the latest on the New Jersey gubernatorial race.
01:14Brian?
01:14Joey, good evening. Today is the last day of in-person early voting in New Jersey. Polls close
01:22at 6 p.m. And so far, according to the data out there, registered Democrats have a slight edge over
01:29registered Republicans in the number of in-person early votes cast. But twice as many registered
01:37Democrats have voted by mail as Republicans. In fact, more than 200,000 more. This means
01:44Republican Jack Cittarelli is likely going to need huge turnout on election day to beat Democrat
01:50Mikey Sherrill. Cittarelli today made three campaign stops in New Jersey's MAGA country,
01:55Monmouth, and Ocean Counties. He's making the case this election is about moving on from eight
02:00years of Democratic Governor Phil Murphy and about choosing a real Jersey guy.
02:06They brought John Corzine here from Illinois. Didn't work out so well. They brought Phil Murphy
02:10here from Massachusetts. Didn't work out so well. My opponent's not from New Jersey either.
02:15So, middle down, I got a really simple idea. You ready? How about we elect the Jersey guy?
02:20We cannot afford another four years of Phil Murphy's failed policy. Make no mistake,
02:24if my opponent's elected, it's more of the same, only worse.
02:29Cheryl today campaigned alongside Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego to try to court Latino voters.
02:38Cheryl's brought in about a dozen Democratic Party stars to campaign with her,
02:42including former President Obama yesterday in Newark.
02:45My fight doesn't and can't end at the border of New Jersey. We've got to take on all those hits
02:57coming from Trump and Washington, D.C. This time, his strategy is to suck up
03:02to the Republicans in Washington. So Donald Trump called Mikey's opponent 100% MAGA. Not a great
03:12endorsement. Chittarelli has run for governor three times. It's his third time, but he says
03:19the energy and momentum is on his side to flip New Jersey red. We'll find out in two days. Joey?
03:25Thanks, Brian. Now to senior national correspondent Rich Edson, who's live tonight down in Virginia.
03:31Rich? Good evening, Joey. It is farm country campaigning for Lieutenant Governor Winston Earl Sears.
03:38Just wrapped an event here. She's campaigning with Governor Glenn Youngkin around the Richmond
03:42area. The two are making the case for the Republican ticket, trying to get a repeat of 2021
03:47when Republicans captured the governor's mansion. They are painting the Democratic candidate for
03:51Governor Abigail Spanberger as dangerously liberal, a politician who is extreme on energy
03:57and cultural issues. Now, Republicans are also pointed to Democratic candidate for Attorney General
04:03Jay Jones, whose violent 2022 text messages have upended this race. Spanberger and other Virginia
04:10Democrats have condemned the texts, but refuse to call on Jones to drop out of the race. Polling
04:15has shown Spanberger with a lead, though with Jones now in a tight race with incumbent Attorney General
04:21Jason Meares. I have Democrats coming up to me saying I may be a Democrat, I may be voting for
04:29Democrats otherwise on the ballot, but I'm voting for you. One, because I think you're competent or as
04:33one mom told me in Vienna, she's like, I don't want to see Virginia become the laughingstock of
04:38the country. I think him being on that stage is an insult to every mother that has lost a child to
04:43violence. Spanberger has spent this final campaign Sunday up in northern Virginia with its high
04:50concentration of Democratic voters. She and Democrats are campaigning on Republicans in Congress and the
04:56White House criticizing federal layoffs in an area with tons of government workers and blaming high
05:02prices on Trump administration tariffs. There are so many people in Virginia who are feeling the impact
05:12of all of the chaos coming out of Washington, whether it is tariffs increasing input costs, whether it is
05:21worry about health care down the line, or whether it is the extraordinary impact of this government
05:28shutdown. And particularly in northern Virginia, where so many people dealt with the realities of
05:34Doge. Early voting ended in Virginia yesterday. If you compare the early voting returns to 2021,
05:43200,000 more Virginians voted this year early than they did in the last candidate campaign for governor.
05:50Back to you, Joey. Thanks, Rich. Finally, we're going to turn to New York City mayoral race,
05:56where Zora Mamdani has remained the frontrunner since winning the Democrat primary. But as the
06:00New York Post warns on today's cover, not so fast. Alexis McAdams is live in New York City with the
06:08latest. Not so fast, Alexis. Yeah, not a bad New York Post cover there for Andrew Cuomo to wake up to
06:15here in the Big Apple. Check it out, though, over my shoulder. This is the line still for early voting.
06:20You guys in New York City. It's been wrapped around the block all day. And from being out
06:24here and covering this race for a couple of weeks now, this is the longest line that we've seen for
06:28early voting so far. And it's not over yet. One thing the voters do agree on when you talk to
06:33them in the line or talk to them in other areas across the city, Joey, is that New York City is
06:36too expensive. What they don't agree on is the person in charge to fix it. They don't believe
06:41Zoran Mamdani has the kind of backing and the exact plan to make the Big Apple more affordable. Watch.
06:48I think that's, it sounds so good. I want to get on a free bus. You know, I want free groceries.
06:54There's nothing free. The first thing you learn in life is there's nothing free in life.
07:00But it sounds good to some people on paper when they start to kind of figure it out. They don't
07:04know if it's going to add up. This is a look at those lines again. This is on the city's west side
07:08as the race for New York City mayor has been in the national spotlight. That's why those lines
07:12are growing. According to the latest Fox News poll, look at this. Mamdani's lead has narrowed
07:17since early October, okay? But he's still ahead by double digits, kind of no matter how you slice
07:22it, with former Governor Andrew Cuomo in second place and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in a
07:27distant third. Mamdani has campaigned on those free buses, the free childcare and freezing the rent,
07:31but supporters aren't sure if he's even going to be able to deliver.
07:34Is that why people are going for him? Because he's different than the rest?
07:38He's charismatic. I'm sure he'll be wrapped up in his own scandal. I mean,
07:42what mayor of New York isn't? And we'll make a big deal out of it.
07:45I like him. I think he sounds genuine to me. And I feel like he really cares about New Yorkers.
07:55So that's what we're hearing out here in New York City. People had their minds made up when they
08:00were in this line and the city's west side, but you hit other neighborhoods, they tell you a different
08:03story. So we'll keep an eye on it for Tuesday when they make the big decision, Joey.
08:07It looks like you found the two nicest Zoran Mamdani voters out there. They seem like very
08:12pleasant people, Alexis. I appreciate that.
08:16That's right. Thanks.
08:17All right. Thanks. Tommy, I've got to bring it to you. Let's take this to 30,000 feet. We just
08:22covered three major elections, really four when you break it down with the AG in Virginia.
08:26There's this idea that Democrats maybe aren't going to do so well in the midterms. This idea,
08:33I think it's being floated mostly by conservative writers and thinkers. This idea that Democrats,
08:38they don't stand for anything. They're not really, they're fumbling even on the shutdown. And maybe
08:42that's true. So when we call these bellwether, what we're alluding to is the idea that maybe
08:46these are showing you what's ahead. I look at it like these are a little bit more parochial than that.
08:51They're a little bit more situational of the states they're in and the people running.
08:56These aren't necessarily swing states, I think is what you're saying. These are blue areas,
09:01right? I think New Jersey is going to be the outlier here. I think Chittarelli has a real
09:05chance. I spend a lot of time in New Jersey on the weekends. And like I told you last weekend,
09:10I've seen some Chittarelli signage, haven't seen any Cheryl signage. I also am so lucky as to be able
09:15to see the attack ads and the commercials for either candidate on repeat in New Jersey. And I'll tell
09:21you, Cheryl's advertisements, they're not moving me, right? I hear her say over and over again that
09:26she's a pilot. That's great. That's esteemed. Wonderful. Not sure how that translates to being
09:30the governor of New Jersey. And I've heard Chittarelli say over and over again, Democrats
09:34have had their chance. If you don't like the way things are and you feel things in New Jersey are
09:38too expensive, why would you vote for another Democrat? So I think he makes a real compelling case.
09:42Here in New York City, Mark and I were talking about this in the green room. I don't see either outcome
09:47for Democrats being a good one. So you've got mom, Donnie that wins. Okay. That's great for
09:52Republicans in the midterms. They can point to it and say, you got your socialist. There you go.
09:57Is this what the Democrat party is? So that's the one outcome. But if Cuomo wins, that also indicates
10:02that that deep blue socialist leftist ideology doesn't even work in New York City. So I think as
10:09far as New York City goes, none of it looks good. Virginia is the one where Democrats might make
10:13out okay. But again, I don't think that that's any big shock. So I don't think this is really as
10:18bellwether as it's, you know, portrayed to be. It's situationally, Mark, and welcome to the show
10:24again. Welcome back. Good to be back. You know, I did my research on this one because when I thought
10:28to myself, okay, if these aren't bellwether, what's history show us? And we're not having to look
10:33back at a different president. We can look back at President Trump in 2016, 17, 18. And so when you
10:38look at that, the stats that are kind of across the top is right now today, 42 seats, that's in
10:42state houses and the U.S. House or in U.S. Congress across 18 states, they've had a 15 percent gain
10:49Democrats have over the Trump Kamala percentages. So 15 percent when it comes to voters turnout and
10:54who's voting for them. When we go back to 2017, 2018, that was about a 10.6 percent change. So
11:00they're outperforming 16 and 17 right now today with these special elections that have happened so far.
11:06Yeah. So I'm not a big believer that low turnout off your elections are a bellwether of anything.
11:11In fact, they favor the Democrats. The Democrats tend to do better in these. And as Tommy pointed
11:16out, these are, you know, blue to purple states, right? And a deep blue city in New York. So I just
11:21don't think that this is a bellwether for anything. I think that one of the reasons why Ciccarelli might
11:26do well is because there's a Mondami effect across the Hudson. Because there's a lot of the people who live
11:31in New Jersey right near here, it's because they don't want to live in New York, right?
11:36They already have, they've already defected with their feet. They've already voted with their feet
11:40to move to New Jersey. So they can't vote against Mondami, but they can vote for Ciccarelli. And so
11:44they can cast their bell. So I think there's an impact there that is helping the Republicans.
11:49Kaylee, this one is, I think this is the most important sentiment here when we talk about what's
11:54going to happen. This is from the Hill. This is Douglas McKinnon. He says, Republicans are still
11:59swimming upstream against decades of Democratic propaganda spread far and wide by media allies. And so what
12:05he's getting at there, if you read this whole piece on the Hill, is this idea that there's a sentiment
12:09that Democrats are going to do bad. There's a sentiment, perhaps spread by those who have an
12:14interest, that Republicans are going to do well. But really, there's so much ground to conquer,
12:18especially in places like Northern Virginia and New Jersey, where the media has really been
12:23complicit in getting Democrats elected. Well, and to that point, the fact that a state like New Jersey
12:27is even as close as it is, is actually a very bad sign for the Democrats, even if they do tend to
12:32perform better in these low turnout off-year elections. And I think Democrats want to make
12:37these elections a bellwether against the Trump administration as a sort of symptom for how the
12:41country is feeling about the Trump administration and his agenda. But I don't think that's going to
12:46work, because I think Democrats assume that people are far more upset with the Trump administration
12:50than they actually are. New Jersey is a case in point. Again, the fact that Cittarelli is really doing
12:56well in these polls is a very bad sign for Democrats. And keep in mind, New Jersey was the state with
13:01the second biggest swing to the right in 2024. You're seeing a continuation of a swing to the
13:05right in an off-year election where Democrats should be performing far better than they are.
13:10And one other thing that I found very interesting about New Jersey in particular is that this swing
13:15to the right is actually among minority voters. Atlas Intel, which was one of the most accurate
13:21pollsters in 2024, found that Cittarelli has 60 percent support among black voters. He's up 20 points
13:28above Mikey Sherrill. That suggests that the GOP is continuing to make gains among minority voters,
13:34which is one of the key coalitions that Democrats typically rely on. So, in my opinion, these are all
13:40very good signs for Republicans, even if they don't necessarily come out on top of all of these races.
13:45Yeah, I think that's, just to cap this off, I think that's my opinion. Regardless if they win them or not,
13:49if they close the gap narrowly and cost Democrats a lot of money and time on these races,
13:53that shows how strong they're performing in what I would say are very blue areas.
13:56So, I like that. All right, coming up on this jam-packed big weekend show,
14:00we're breaking down all the major races to watch on Election Day. Plus, California Governor Gavin
14:05Newsom, with his hands moving around, is now claiming he doesn't want to be president. And
14:10Nigeria now says it would welcome America's help in helping them in stopping the killing of
14:16Christians. But there's a catch. Stick with us.
14:19President Trump is ordering the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to end the slaughter
14:27of Christians in Nigeria, threatening to send the military in, quote, guns a-blazing.
14:34And now, Nigeria says it would welcome the help in fighting Islamic radicals, but only if it's,
14:39quote, territorial integrity is respected. Nigeria is the most dangerous country in the world for
14:44Christians.
14:45Two years ago, I was kidnapped by a dreaded Boko Haram along my way to the airport. I have been
14:52in here for as long as I know. I've been in these places where these attacks have taken place.
14:59I've seen women who are crying for the loss of their husbands. I've seen children who are crying for
15:05the loss of their parents. I've seen parents who are crying for the loss of their children. I've been to
15:10churches and I've been burnt down. I've witnessed where terrorism is at the highest point, where people
15:16are killed and slaughtered like chickens every day.
15:20Boko Haram is one of the main Islamic terrorist groups behind the attacks. So, Tommy, I remember when
15:26Michelle Obama stood there and had that picture of it that said, bring back our girls. Well, Donald Trump
15:31seems to be saying, let girls go or we're going to turn you into ISIS.
15:36Mark, you read my mind because that's exactly what I've been thinking about is Michelle Obama
15:40with that sign, bring back our girls. And I haven't looked, I'll be honest. I haven't
15:44heard her say anything about this, though. She's done some recent interviews where she's
15:47once again complaining about the treatment that she received. The Obamas are never happy.
15:51They're always complaining about something. But you bring up an excellent point. President
15:55Trump is shining a light on this. I think it's important. We discussed it yesterday. Even
15:58Nicki Minaj has taken notice of this, which I know it seems so frivolous. But when you have
16:03a major celebrity like Nicki Minaj with the following she has acknowledging something the
16:07president is doing in a positive light, I think we take all the help we can get on that.
16:11But I'm also wondering, to our discussion that we had on the table yesterday, where are the
16:16queers for Palestine? Where are all the human rights organizations you brought up, Kayleigh,
16:21the United Nations? It seems as though President Trump, when these areas of the world that don't
16:25get a light shown on them are in trouble, it seems that President Trump is the one that comes to
16:30the rescue when all these organizations that are designed, at least in theory, to handle this kind
16:35of thing, go silent. Perhaps they're on vacation. Well, you read my mind because that's my question
16:39for Joey. So what's happening in Nigeria? It exposes the hypocrisy of the left. They've spent
16:44months complaining about a non-existent genocide campaign in Gaza. But now there's an actual
16:50genocide happening against Christians in Nigeria. And there's complete silence. Is it because there are
16:56no Jews involved? You know, yeah, I mean, that's certainly a take. I guess it's picketing choosing
17:05your battles that matter, that matter on the stump, that get college kids aroused and upset. I mean,
17:11I really do. I think, for one, there's a lot of representation in Congress that favors the
17:15Palestinian cause. The other side of it is, you know, I think Africa, I think Americans in our hubris
17:23look at Africa is just like lost cause. And the Middle East, just a few decades ago, was not. It
17:28was a bustling place. And we also spent 20 years there. So it's easy to kind of focus on it.
17:33You know, I hate to both sides anything because, you know, that seems like an easy way out.
17:38I don't want to see troops going to Nigeria. I don't want to see troops going to Africa. We've got
17:42them down in Djibouti. It's the hottest place in the world. And I hope that they just keep hanging
17:46out down there and not doing a lot of fighting because, you know, we get enthralled in these wars in
17:50places like Nigeria that can turn in the guerrilla warfare. And next thing you know, it becomes this
17:54endless conflict where you don't know who your enemy is, so you can't defeat them. And what's
17:58the point of it all? I hope that President Trump is doing what I think he's doing, which is using
18:02his bully pulpit. You know, I said the other day, he speaks kindly and carries a big stick because
18:06he'll say nice things about our enemies just to let them know, hey, I'm not, you know, words don't
18:11matter. What matters is where, you know, the fleet is right now, which is off the coast of Venezuela.
18:17Venezuela. And so the Ford. And so I think that what he's getting at here, one, I think
18:23this matters to his cabinet. Someone like Pete Hegseth cares about this. I mean, he is very open
18:26and honest about his defense of Christianity and Trump picked him and he got confirmed. So that's
18:31a part of the, that's a part of this cabinet's agenda. But I think on the other side of it is,
18:35which I hope is a big part of this in Venezuela and Africa, is that China is our biggest threat.
18:42And China makes a lot of money in Africa taking advantage of people doing terrible things.
18:46I look back and say, what if we would spend all the money and treasure we did in the Middle East
18:50in Africa, getting a foothold there, helping some of these countries become first world,
18:54if that were possible? What would we have gained from it that we didn't gain from the Middle East?
18:58Yeah. So Kaylee, Kaylee, this is the most dangerous place in the world for Christians.
19:02So 52,000 Christians killed since 2009 here. What Trump seems to be doing here is sort of
19:08threading the needle that Joe is concerned about, which is we don't want to send hundreds of
19:11thousands of troops to the ground to, to, to fight people all over the world. But we do need
19:16to exercise leadership on the world stage. And he seems to have found a way in the way he's
19:20handled Iran and the way he's handling Venezuela and all these conflicts to flex American military
19:24muscles without getting us dragged into, into forever wars. Yeah. He, he clearly takes very
19:29seriously his role as the peace broker of the world. And rightly so. I mean, he has an incredible
19:34amount of momentum based on some of these recent peace deals that he's negotiated. And I think that
19:38Joey's right that I'm not super concerned about American troops, even necessarily being on the
19:43ground in Africa. I don't think that it'll actually get to that point. I think that Trump understands
19:47that oftentimes you have to escalate these situations, at least rhetorically in order to
19:52help deescalate. I remember not too long ago when Trump made a very big deal about how the American
19:57military might go into the Gaza Strip and, you know, make it the next hotel strip, the new New Jersey
20:03of the Middle East, you know what I mean? And of course that never happened, but you know what did
20:07happen? An incredible peace deal that actually came about because all of these other Arab nations
20:13realized that they too have a stake in peace in Gaza. And so I hope that that's what's happening
20:17here is that president Trump is forcing Nigeria, the Nigerian government and some of these other
20:22countries in the nearby area to get serious about Islamic terrorism in their region and to protect
20:27their own citizens. Yeah. Well, he's warning the Islam, the Boko Haram, uh, that he might do the same
20:31thing to them that he did to ISIS when general Raisin Cain unleashed the, uh, fury on, on the ISIS. And,
20:36uh, he's now the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. So they ought to be worried. All right.
20:40Well, president Trump is calling on Senate Republicans to go nuclear to end the Schumer
20:44shutdown. Plus far left extremism is taking over mayoral races as three mayoral races as one squad
20:50member shows our support for mom, Dami of mentally, the Mondami of Minneapolis. That's hard to say.
20:58So to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is joining the mom, Donnie of Minneapolis on the campaign trail.
21:04I could not be prouder to support Omar because this city needs a leader who will transform Minneapolis
21:12and make it work for everyone, not just for the wealthy and the well-connected.
21:18And now it's coming down to these last two days. So when you're out there today, remember what's,
21:25what this election is about and remember who we're fighting for. We're fighting for each other.
21:32Omar Fate is locked in a neck and neck mayoral race with incumbent Democrat mayor, Jacob Fry.
21:37His campaign has been focused on pushing radical ideas for Minneapolis.
21:43Bulldozing does not lead to the ending of homelessness or housing or unhoused neighbors.
21:48Things like tuition free college for working class families, increasing the minimum wage to $20 by
21:532028 and passing rent stabilization to stop price gouging. I'll commit to an affordable city with a
21:59$20 minimum wage. You know, Tommy, I don't think that it's a coincidence that Ilhan Omar is out on the
22:06campaign trail for Fate, but it really does speak to just how radical the squad has become.
22:12Yeah, and have always been right. And Minneapolis, when she says we need to transform Minneapolis,
22:18it's been transformed. Some people would like to transform it back. Right. So we talked about this yesterday.
22:24We need to talk about it again. This creeping Islam in these cities. It's not about being Muslim.
22:28You can be Muslim all day long. But when you advocate for these radical policies, when you pledge your
22:32allegiance to Somalia and or other Muslim Arab nation instead of the United States of America or the city of
22:37Minneapolis that you want to lead, I find that problematic. These cities have been entirely
22:42transformed. And it's not just because of him and others like him. But if you look at Minneapolis,
22:46there's some areas that used to be bustling, thriving areas with bars and restaurants, and they've been
22:51completely transformed to Ilhan Omar's point. And I don't think for the better. And I think it's just
22:57it's rather problematic that some of these places have gone that way. But then again, you look at the
23:02competition. It's not dissimilar to New York City, where you've got Frye, which I would also consider
23:07not to be a great candidate. But that is the choices. You've got liberal and then you've got
23:12ultra, ultra left wing, left, left, left, left wing liberal. And those are the choices that you
23:16have for a place like Minneapolis. It's really too bad. Yeah. And Mark, to Tommy's point, it's
23:20interesting because Jacob Frye is not a moderate. He was front and center of the Black Lives Matter
23:26riots in 2020. I remember that very well. And so it's interesting that it's like you can't get far
23:32enough to the left, even in the Democratic Party. They always want to push it further and further.
23:36Well, either is Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo lit up the Freedom Tower to celebrate the passing of the
23:41most unrestrictive abortion law in the country. So he's a far left liberal Democrat. He's just not a
23:48communist. So this is the new divide we have in the Democratic Party. But what I find really
23:52interesting about these two races is this nexus between Islamic radicalism and socialism,
23:58right? That there seems to be some sort of connection here. In Minneapolis,
24:03Fateh was actually campaigning, waving a Somali flag at a campaign event and speaking in Somali to his
24:09supporters there. In New York, it seems like Mondami feels like he has to sort of downplay his
24:15radicalism in order to win the state, the city. In Minneapolis, he's playing up his radicalism.
24:20He's playing up his connections to Islam. And I think that's fascinating.
24:25Yeah. You know, Joey, what's interesting to me, too, about Minneapolis is the Somalian tie-in. I mean,
24:31Ilhan Omar is on record saying that she views herself as representing Somalians in Somalia as well as here
24:38in America. It's really an American last agenda. And that seems to be what Minneapolis residents want.
24:44Yeah. I love how, you know, you're demonized if you talk about the replacement theory,
24:48this idea that Democrats want to import voters. And it's not always through refugees or open borders,
24:52but they do want to bring voters places so they can gain control and political power. And they do
24:57that by promising free stuff or getting it federally mandated in the form of refugee. But when we talk
25:03about this guy, I want to take all that stuff set to the side. I mean, you know, we are a diverse
25:06country. And if a community in Minnesota or anywhere is of a certain religion, whatever, that's part of
25:12the character and the fabric of the country. I get that. This guy, there's a good argument that he's a
25:17cheating a crook. That's what really matters here. When you just Google his name and put
25:21scandal next to it, some of the things that come up, he's been caught several times cheating and
25:25lying about endorsements. Apparently he had to, he was made to pull all of his campaign stuff out
25:29because it showed endorsements that weren't there. He has a staffer commit perjury about how they
25:34handled absentee ballots. And then this one is great. So they have something, a housing agency there.
25:39And he, as a senator, proposed legislation to kind of fast track approval for that, put a lot of the
25:45states basically deciding authority into the hands of a company. And then you realize his wife owns one
25:52of these companies that would benefit from it. So, you know, he may look like a little bit different
25:57than regular politicians, you know, the old white guys, but he's playing the same tricks. He's doing
26:02the same stuff. So, you know, the most important thing here is that the people might want to vote for
26:06somebody who's not doing all the same crooked stuff that everyone else they voted for, they don't
26:11like is done. And when you talk about the two sides of the Democrat party, when you talk about Fry
26:16and this guy, Fatah, it's, it's not classic liberal and far left. It is woke far left and socialist far
26:25left. I mean, that's the fissure there. One, one thing I will say about the Mondanis and the Fatahs is
26:31at least they're focused on actual policy and not just what do you identify as today. I'm sure they
26:36have some of that, but what they're putting out front are just bad policy ideas. And I at least
26:40appreciate that. Americans have to be smart enough to think past that.
26:43Joe, I want to discuss something that you just said, because I think it's so important here.
26:47White liberals did this. White liberals created the Fatahs and the Mondanis. Why? Because they
26:53hyper-focused on identity politics and you're this and you're that, and we're going to focus on your
26:56skin color and we're going to focus on your religion and all these things. They gave birth to this.
27:00And now it's running against them, but they did it. Yeah, you're right. It's true. And another major
27:07city is at risk of a progressive takeover to that point. A recent poll shows far left candidate Katie
27:12Wilson leading in the Seattle mayor's race. Wilson has been running an anti-Trump pro-defund the police
27:18campaign. I think also moving toward more of a community policing model where police officers are
27:25embedded in a specific neighborhood, you know, have those relationships with the community and are
27:31acting as problem-solving partners, right, as opposed to just reacting when an incident occurs.
27:35We are out here today at the No Kings protest. We're out here standing up to Trump, our immigrant
27:41neighbors. I'm going to make sure our social housing program, overwhelmingly approved by voters,
27:46is successful. I'm going to launch free K-8 summer care and make our city a great place for families.
27:51Mark, I quite honestly cannot believe we are still litigating defund the police when it has proven
27:59such a toxic policy idea for Democrats. And in Seattle, of all places, which is like the epicenter,
28:05one of the epicenters of this. Look, what's real, what I did was some looking into Seattle and what's
28:10really fascinating, because in a lot of these cities like New York and other places, there's been a net
28:14out-migration of citizens because of bad liberal governments. Seattle actually had a slight uptick
28:19in migration. They gained 66,666 new residents. But the reason was because they gained 64,000
28:29migrants who came to their city while they had a net loss of 11,000 American residents who left
28:34for other cities. So what Seattle's policies are doing, they're actually increasing their population,
28:39but they're increasing their population of tax consumers who are taking public support because
28:44there are migrants coming here illegally. And they're losing the taxpayers who fund all the
28:49services for the illegal migrants coming into America. But Mark, they don't care because they
28:53get the seats. They get the seats. They want the population. They want as many people in their
28:58states as possible. They don't care if they're illegal or American. They need warm bodies. That's what
29:03they need. And they expect the federal government to bail them out when they pass extremely expensive
29:07programs that their states can't actually afford. Very true. But, you know, Joey, one of the other
29:12things about Katie Wilson, the No Kings rally, everything that's in her agenda seems to be
29:16aimed at President Trump, the Trump administration. It seems like this is all Democrats have to run on
29:22is just how anti-Trump can you be? Yeah, I think, you know, at least in her case, she's putting forth
29:28radical ideas. And it's because I think they happen to be anti-Trump because Trump embraced what the
29:34country wanted, which are non-radical ideas. Trump embraced something like law and order. That's not
29:39radical. That's not MAGA. That's common sense. And she's running against law and order. She goes,
29:44you know, I think we need to embed our police officers as a member of the community and part
29:48of the neighborhood. Well, in most small towns, that's the case. But what she's talking about
29:52is, you know, this idea that you have folks there like, oh, that's not a big deal. That's not a big
29:56crime. That's just my buddy, Jimmy. I'm going to leave him alone. That's not law and order.
30:00Like, that's what she's getting at, this idea that, and we've seen Democrats do it in cities all over
30:05the country now starting to come out where, like, crime statistics go down because crimes aren't
30:09being prevented, reported, or there's no consequences coming back at them. And, you know,
30:14I expect Seattle, the home of, you know, the great sound garden, I expect Seattle to be a little
30:20weird, a little funky. I want it to be. It's okay. You know, they say keep Austin weird. I get that.
30:24Like, the cowboys have guns and smoke pot at the same time. Like, that's okay. But you got to protect
30:30your citizens. You got to have some common sense, be a little weird, but also like a safe place.
30:35That helps. It would indeed. Well, coming up, daylight savings ended today. Could this be
30:40the last time that we're turning back the clock? Plus, the L.A. Dodgers pulled off a crazy
30:45comeback victory to win the World Series, and celebrations in L.A. were anything but peaceful.
30:53We planned well for retirement.
31:05But, you know, don't forget it. We're lost our lives. We're lost our lives. We're lost our lives.
31:07We're lost in the sky
31:10That's what you're talking about
31:14But don't let it go
31:17Until the night is safe
31:19Until the night is still alive
31:21Until the night is still alive
31:24The walls are falling
31:27In the last summer
31:29The thoughts are going to
31:32To the sun
31:34The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a crazy comeback
31:49In an epic game seven of the World Series
31:51Last night in Toronto
31:59Smith, it's a high
32:01First to beat the champ
32:03You gotta knock him out
32:05Well, after the game
32:06President Trump congratulated the team
32:08For the historic win
32:09And invited them to the White House
32:11I hope they go
32:12But back in L.A.
32:13Dodgers fans wrecked havoc
32:15Storming the streets
32:16And starting riots
32:18I mean, honestly, just another night in Los Angeles
32:39But at one point police were hit by fireworks and bottles
32:43They had to deploy tear gas to disperse the crowds
32:46All right, Joey
32:48You know, I don't much love sports
32:50But I do love baseball
32:51And I stayed up late to watch this game
32:53It was a fantastic one
32:55It was an epic one
32:56People, they like to crap on the Dodgers
32:58Because they have a fantastic team
33:00Most of which they bought
33:01And paid a lot for
33:02But I thought it was a great game
33:04And I don't know if this means we get Canada now
33:07But I'm hopeful
33:0951st state
33:10Yeah, I don't know
33:11When hockey season rolls around
33:13Canada will get their bragging rights back
33:15I guess that's part of it
33:16When it comes to the players
33:17And where they're from
33:18No, it was a great game
33:19I enjoyed watching
33:20I stayed up and watched it last night
33:21You know, it's funny
33:22It was tough as a Braves fan to watch that
33:24Because Freddie Freeman catching the ball there
33:26At the end of the game
33:27Is exactly how our World Series was won
33:29Same first baseman
33:30That got paid a whole lot of money
33:32To go somewhere else
33:33Just like everyone else on that team
33:34That used to play somewhere else
33:36But that's part of sports
33:37It's part of capitalism
33:38I was happy to see the American team win
33:41The National League team
33:42But the team from America win
33:44The United States
33:45But the Blue Jays
33:46I mean, they put on a heck of a show
33:48Seven games
33:49They had the lead in that game
33:50Probably should have won it
33:51And, you know
33:53Put down the politics for a minute
33:55And enjoy a good dramatic game
33:57You know?
33:58It was a dramatic game
33:59I enjoyed watching it
34:00But listen, this was also a win
34:02For Japan
34:03Japan was watching
34:05Yeah
34:06The United States was watching
34:08I mean, this too
34:09This is just an absolute dream
34:11For broadcasters
34:13For television
34:14I'm happy that Fox had it
34:15Yeah, I'm happy that Fox had it too
34:17I have to confess
34:18That for me
34:20This World Series was like
34:21When Henry Kissinger was asked
34:22Who are you rooting for
34:23In the Iran-Iraq war
34:24And he said casualties
34:25I mean, when I look at Canada
34:27I see the country that America
34:28Would have become
34:29If it hadn't been for the American Revolution
34:30And the wisdom of our founding fathers
34:32A country that doesn't pay
34:33Its 2% of GDP
34:34For national defense
34:35Woke country
34:36Where people can't access their healthcare
34:38They get health and euthanasia
34:40And the Dodgers honored
34:41The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
34:43Which was an absolute mockery
34:44Of my Christian faith
34:45So I wasn't rooting for anybody
34:47Right
34:48Well, yes, it was a difficult choice
34:50I will say that
34:51And you make a good point about Canada
34:52Do we want them or not, Mark?
34:54We do not want Canada
34:55We don't want them
34:56The people who elected Justin Trudeau
34:57Trump is almost always right
34:59But the people who elected Justin Trudeau
35:00Over and over again
35:02For like 12 years
35:03We don't want them voting in American elections
35:05Okay, I guess it's settled, Kayleigh
35:06Mark settled that one for us
35:07What do you make about the riots
35:09And the disturbances?
35:10Again, I'm not sure we could tell the difference
35:12I didn't see the inflatables
35:14I guess maybe that's the only thing
35:15That separates it from any other night in Los Angeles
35:17You know, this is the behavior that I expect from Phillies fans
35:20I'm a bit confused why they were doing this out in LA
35:23But as you mentioned
35:24It's just another night in Los Angeles
35:25And apparently any excuse to riot and set things on fire
35:28You know, making history back-to-back World Series wins
35:31It doesn't strike me as historical
35:33Because here's the thing
35:34You mentioned it
35:35They bought the team
35:36It's really not a surprise
35:37I didn't even watch the game
35:38But when I found out that the Dodgers won
35:40I was like
35:41Well, duh, of course
35:42They win basically every other year at this point
35:44Or it's the Red Sox
35:45Or it's one of the other big teams with national recognition
35:48So, you know
35:49It wasn't really for me
35:50But
35:51One thing I want to say about this game
35:53The two players
35:54The two star players on the roster there
35:56From Japan
35:57Otani and Yamamoto
35:59Both did things that we never see
36:01Yamamoto, I think, played what?
36:0216 or 18 innings
36:04He did a full game
36:05And then he came back in
36:06I think twice
36:07Zero days rest
36:09Yeah, and so
36:10I mean, that's just something that
36:11You know, isn't supposed to happen
36:12You know, Otani being as good of a slugger
36:14As he is a pitcher
36:15I mean, you know
36:16It speaks for the discipline of their culture
36:17It really does
36:18And they showed
36:19They made their country very proud
36:20They certainly did
36:22Oh, I love to see it
36:23It was still ahead
36:24A popular women's magazine
36:26Is claiming that having a boyfriend
36:28Could mean you're a Republican
