205 Democrats Keep Court Packing Alive & 192 Refuse to Condemn Socialism | Whiteford, Murray

[00:00:00] On Monday, the House of Representatives voted 220 to 192 to condemn socialism. That same resolution asked Congress to pass the Save America Act so that every person has to prove citizenship before they register to vote. Within hours, two Democratic nominees for Congress, who will likely be sworn in in January, went to social media complaining. One of them falsely claimed that the Save America Act strips millions of Americans of their right to vote.

[00:00:27] The other said Congress spent the day gutting voting rights. The people who oppose American citizens only voting in American elections are the fringe, and the fringe is gaining ground in America. Welcome to The Jenny Beth Show. I'm Jenny Beth Martin.

[00:01:17] Let's go to Capitol Hill first. The president signed a funding bill on Wednesday, so the government is funded through December the 11th, which means there will be no shutdown fight waiting for the election.

[00:01:27] The president signed a funding bill on October 1st, when the fiscal year begins for the United States government for 2027. The continuing resolution keeps the government funded for now and postpones any fight over government spending until after the election. The House and the Senate will be back on Capitol Hill the week after Labor Day. But the House is in D.C. right now. And this week, it passed a resolution condemning socialism.

[00:01:54] Congressman Jeff Crank of Colorado introduced a resolution which condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States, reaffirms its support for free, fair, and secure elections, and calls for the enactment of the Save America Act.

[00:02:17] The resolution reiterates that American elections are for American citizens only and recommits itself to upholding the United States Constitution. It passed 220 to 192. Eight honest, seen Democrats voted yes. 192 voted no. And two more voted present. Now, here's what happened next. Look at this on your screen.

[00:02:44] Within about a day, a caucus within the Democratic Socialists posted their answer to the resolution, urging more people to join DSA. Almost 3,000 people liked this particular post. Their chapter in Portland answered by quoting the Communist Manifesto. And a DSA movement magazine reported that their New York City chapter has gone from 5,900 members to more than 15,000 members. Now, that's a chapter number. It's not the national number.

[00:03:14] But it's worth noting that the big government socialist movement is not backing down in America, and they are trying to recruit more members every day. Next, the House voted on a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment introduced by Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona. This amendment would have written into the Constitution that the Supreme Court has only nine justices, one sentence. It's very short.

[00:03:43] It's on your screen right now. The joint resolution for this amendment failed, 212 to 206. Every single Republican voted yes. 205 Democrats voted no. And so did one independent. The Constitution never says nine justices only. Congress has said it, and Congress has moved it in the past. But it's been nine since 1869. And it works.

[00:04:10] Congresswoman Jim Clyburn wants 13, calls it a baker's dozen. Kamala Harris has said we need to revisit expanding the court to 13. So think about what happens to every ruling you care about on speech, on elections, on whatever it might be. If the party who loses has control and can just add four judges any time it wants when it loses a case, where is the limiting power? And if nine's not enough, why is 13?

[00:04:40] Why not go to 21 or 53? Why stop there? 211 Republicans voted to take that power away from either side permanently. And 205 Democrats voted to keep it on the table. As a note, Tea Party Patriots action has been in favor of limiting the Supreme Court to nine justices for years. We've had many calls to action to protect the Supreme Court, and we stand by that work. The court does not always rule the way we want.

[00:05:10] Nevertheless, we respect the judicial branch of our government and our constitutional system. And unlike the big government, Democratic Socialists, we don't want to destroy our constitutional government when we don't get our way. Election Day is only 61 days from today.

[00:05:29] And in Texas, James Tallarico, the Democratic nominee running for the United States Senate, said back in 2020, and it's come to light in the last few days, that capitalism was an oppressive system that needed to be dismantled. He said this on an online video at a or he said this in video at a Sierra Club forum. Let's look at what he said and put some of it on the screen.

[00:05:55] He put capitalism alongside white supremacy and climate change and said understanding how all three of those oppressive systems work together is how we begin the process of dismantling them. He said the Texas oil and gas industry is not going to last. Today, his campaign calls him a proud capitalist and says he missed the mark on some of his past statements. Missed the mark? That was just six years ago.

[00:06:24] And he was calling for dismantling capitalism, which sounds very much like what the big government, Democratic Socialists still want to do to our Constitution today. If he's elected to the United States Senate, it would be a disaster for Texas and it would be dangerous for our country. Down in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis endorsed Byron Donalds on Tuesday night in Tampa. And he did this as part of a slate for the nominees running for statewide office in Florida.

[00:06:54] And then up in New York recently, the Democratic Socialist candidates won clear paths to their legislative seats in Albany in the primary. They still have to go before their general election, but it's Democrat leaning places, so they probably will be elected. And recently, Grace Mauser, co-chair of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, has already outlined their goals. A 2% surcharge on income over a million dollars.

[00:07:24] A nine-member board to set commercial rents. A state housing authority. And a moratorium on data centers. And tomorrow, in Chicago, a four-day socialist conference opens with Angela Davis and Hasan Piker scheduled to speak. The Democratic Socialists of America are telling us what they plan to do. Believe them. And let it motivate you to get involved and vote.

[00:07:51] Get involved in getting out the vote in the remaining 61 days of this election cycle. We need to be active in getting out the vote. And we must also do everything we can to ensure that we secure our elections so that regardless of who wins, both sides can have faith in the outcome of our elections. That's why Tea Party Patriots Action has gone back to work, restarting our poll watcher and poll worker training program.

[00:08:20] We ran it through the last two election cycles. And in 2022 and 2024, we recruited and trained more than 35,000 people. Last week, we were in Georgia on August 28th with Honest Elections Project. And with Honest Elections Project, we'll be in Reno on September 11th and Las Vegas on September 12th.

[00:08:42] And we continue to work in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan to recruit and train poll workers and poll watchers this election cycle. So here's your assignment for today. And you can do it right now or wait till the end of the show. But make sure you get it done. Go to helpatthepolls.com and sign up to be a poll worker or a poll watcher. Again, that's helpatthepolls.com. And the website is right there on your screen. If you're watching on YouTube, you can click straight through.

[00:09:12] Since you really do have to make a choice between being a poll worker and a poll watcher, I urge you to become a poll worker. This is the position where you get trained at your local election board so that you can work the polls. That way, if anything strange is happening, you have the ability to talk it through and try to solve it before it becomes an issue with the election. It is a critically important position, and I hope that you choose to do that.

[00:09:41] And you have to do everything by the book. You have to be trained. You're getting trained by your local election board. But it is a very important position, and it's one where you're empowered to truly help make sure our elections are run properly and legally. The deadlines for poll workers are approaching. So go to helpatthepolls.com to sign up and learn more about how you can sign up further with your local county government.

[00:10:06] Now, if you can't make the commitment to be a poll worker, then sign up to be a poll watcher. Those are the volunteers who observe the elections and report any issues. When this is over, when this election is over, no matter who wins, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat in any given election, I want every American to be able to trust the outcome of the election. That's why we have to get people to be poll workers and poll watchers and to be engaged in the election integrity process.

[00:10:34] We've been recruiting poll watchers since 2012 when Mitt Romney was the nominee for president. It's not new work for us. It's the work we do every single election cycle. Okay, I have to stop and step out for the rest of the hour. But don't worry. Robert McNeely, our Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, is going to host the rest of the show today. And he's got a great lineup.

[00:11:00] He's going to be discussing today's news with Catherine Whiteford from the Young Republicans National Federation, and also Justine Brooke Murray, who's with the Media Research Center. I hate to miss it, but I know you're going to be in good hands with Robert, and I'm going to be in another meeting working on helping us get out the vote and on election integrity. So I'll be back with you again tomorrow. Don't go anywhere. Robert will be right back in just a minute.

[00:11:29] Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd, and your precinct needs a trustworthy neighbor in that room. No matter who wins, everyone must trust the outcome of our elections. Poll worker and poll watcher deadlines are fast approaching. Don't wait for someone else to answer this call. We need you to be an American hero. Visit helpatthepolls.com. That's helpatthepolls.com.

[00:11:57] Thank you, Jenny Beth, and thank you all for being with us today on The Jenny Beth Show. Joining me for the hour, Justine Brooke Murray of the Media Research Center. Justine, thank you so much for joining us today. Thanks for having me as always. And Catherine Whiteford, National Co-Chairwoman of the Young Republican National Federation. Catherine, thank you for joining us as well. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me on. And to start with you, Catherine, let me jumpstart this with the House voting to condemn socialism

[00:12:25] and 192 Democrats would not go along with it. You run the Republican organization, along with Hayden Padgett, for people under 40. And the socialists, they're winning these primaries with people who are our age and around our ages in their 20s and 30s. What are they offering that we might not be offering on our side of the aisle? Yeah, you know, I think that young Americans are not suddenly reading Karl Marx and deciding that they want socialism.

[00:12:53] I think that the DSA and those types of candidates are really pinpointing on something that is just hitting people in our age demographic more, which is affordability, gas prices, housing affordability and things like that. And I think that we just need to be talking about the things that the Trump administration has already been doing to address these things that our age demographic really care about. My husband and I were looking for our first house as well, so we're impacted by this.

[00:13:22] But one of the things that the Trump administration put forward was the restricting large institutional investors from buying additional single family homes. And so that's something that would very much help people in the 18 to 40 range. And I think that that's a great step to try to get people into those first homes. Yeah, I really think some of the policies of the Trump administration are fantastic, including those antitrust laws dating all the way back to the turn of the century.

[00:13:49] Republicans have to be engaged in that once again, as you're mentioning there. Now, Justine, something to play for you. But the resolution that happened recently did two things, condemning socialism and calling on Congress to pass the Save America Act. Take a look at this first, then tell me what you think. It forces members to make a choice, socialism or democracy. House Republicans want to get Democrats on the record this week, disavowing socialism. Republicans say socialism is threatening to consume the Democratic Party.

[00:14:20] This is a chance for Democrats who say that they're opposed to these Democrat socialists, as they call themselves, and their rise. I mean, this is a chance for them to stand firmly with the American people and oppose this insidious movement within their own party. Now, Justine, you watch the coverage for a living. Did anybody report this second half of the story? Rarely. Rarely. Rarely.

[00:14:47] And when they did, when they discussed the Save America Act, they did the same song and dance as they usually do, which is to call it anti-democratic, to want everyone to show ID in order to vote. And, of course, they keep comparing it to Jim Crow. Oh, this means we're going to take women's rights away because apparently black Americans and women, we can't think for ourselves. You know, we don't know how to do things for ourselves.

[00:15:15] So it's racist to, you know, want election security. So they're singing the same song. And I guess they think that if they preach it over again, some people might start believing it. More people will start believing it than previously. But their audience isn't really changing. It's just you got CNN and MSNBC, and it's the same old, like, early bird crowd at the Golden Corral type Democrats who go out and protest at the No Kings rallies.

[00:15:46] Yes, it really is. And Daria Liza Avila-Chavlier, if you will, the French term for this communist, says the bill would require a passport or a birth certificate and constrict millions of people of their actual vote, their right to do so. So what does this bill actually ask a person to do, Justine? Yeah, well, it simply asks people to do two things, you know, show voter ID.

[00:16:13] And then on top of that, condemn socialism, which the left, they've been pretty adamant already about their refusal to condemn Hassan Piker up until like zero hours, just like maybe a week ago when they like slightly distanced themselves from him.

[00:16:30] But you still have these outward, and I don't call them democratic socialists because I believe that's an oxymoron, kind of like the lecturing man buns who run the DSA and go on these networks and preach about abolishing the Senate. But 58% of Democrats in a new study revealed that they prefer socialism over capitalism. So, of course, they're not going to condemn socialism.

[00:16:56] They've been so outwardly proud over promoting it. And meanwhile, you will still have the gaslighting elitist media and people like Jon Stewart who will say, oh, it's no big deal. Sure, they call themselves socialists, but they don't really mean it. Just like he said, they don't mean it when they say we need to abolish the police, even though the DSA, they actually wrote a New York Times piece with the headline stating, yes, we mean we want to abolish the police.

[00:17:25] Yes, and I learned something today. Chevalier apparently French for horse rider by night in its literal interpretation. But these socialists, they're no Paul Revere by any means. So I would rather be with the Liberty fighters like both y'all rather than these crazies. Because Catherine, the other one is Claire Valdez. She dropped the socialism fight entirely and said her neighbors spent the day cutting back on groceries to pay rent.

[00:17:50] Is that actually a better argument or do they really have to rebrand themselves before Election Day? Well, I think that she and other people like her have been very skillful with not directly saying things that are just talking about socialism. They're conflating it to being, oh, well, it's just about grocery prices and it's just about affordability. And I think that that's why people are latching on to it is that they're like, oh, I want things to be more affordable. And so that's why I think that these messages are resonating with them.

[00:18:19] But but again, there are these things that we're doing, like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and those types of things that are actually trying to help bring more money into people's pockets. And I think that on a separate note, some of the reason why people in the 18 to 40 range really resonate with these DSA candidates is because they seem relatable. They seem authentic, not that we necessarily agree with their type of authenticity.

[00:18:46] But, you know, we have people on our side, too, like Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who is I think she's 34. So she's in the Young Republicans and she is a fighter and she never holds back a punch. And I think that if more people followed her example and Representative Brandon Gill with just being genuinely authentic to themselves, that those are the types of people that people can truly believe in. Yes, the YR is making a massive difference.

[00:19:14] And we'll get to that later in the show, especially in elected offices, federal, state and local. Justine, let's look at this again inside a day one vote in their caucus. They answered in Congress with, huh, anyways, join the DSA. That's literally what they X'd out there. I guess I could say X now rather than tweet and a sign up link with all that. That's almost 3000 likes. Who did that vote actually reach? And will that translate to people going to the polls?

[00:19:40] Well, it just goes to show that the rhetoric has reached a fever pitch where these I don't even call them. They're not even socialists. They're communists, which I think it's the same thing. But they're loud and proud about it because they know that it's no longer controversial to say, I'm a communist or I support Islamo-communism and jihad.

[00:20:03] It's controversial, in fact, if you're an old school liberal and you're a Democrat of yesteryear, which I don't believe they exist anymore unless you're John Fetterman, who's under the gun now from his own party because it's now controversial to not be those things, to not be socialist on the left or to not lean into Marxism.

[00:20:26] Yes, and their Portland chapter answered United States House of Representatives by quoting that communist manifesto. So, Catherine, is that a fringe being a fringe or is that just the confidence they have going into this election cycle? Well, hey, at least they're saying it with their chest, right? And so we know where they're at. I will say that this issue is very personal for me because my grandparents and my mother fled communist China when she was 16 years old.

[00:20:55] And so they have lived they lived under the Mao regime, under real communism. And I think that eventually we're going to see things like that where people are going to start romanticizing figures like Mao. They're probably already doing that. Mao maxing, maybe. But these are things that my family has really actually experienced where they were under meat rationing with a hand, a fistful of meat for an entire family of four to live off for a month. And so that's the direction that these people are going.

[00:21:23] But they're definitely kind of couching it in these more palatable ways. Yes, the story of the legal immigrant and what some people went through and first generation Americans really will be a telltale sign on the path we end up going on. Now, Justine, I know we're going through a timeline today of what's happening. The House of Representatives, the United States Senate and, of course, the House today saying they are done with September going back to campaign.

[00:21:48] And I can understand the plight, but it must be a nice gig because the next day the House voting on writing nine justices into the Constitution failing 212 to 206. Now, every Republican voting for the measure, but 205 Democrats against it. Why was that not the bigger story in the media? Because it's kind of a twofold thing here. They want to point out that they want to stack the court.

[00:22:15] That's what the media wants, going back to FDR and his positions to do so. But also the Republicans have stood firm on this. So why are the mainstream media talking more about this? Well, because the media wants their preferred candidates to look. The media is actively campaigning in the midterm elections. So, of course, they're not going to bring up anything that makes them look too radical.

[00:22:41] That's why they're still gaslighting us by saying, oh, when when these candidates say they're socialists, they don't really mean it. Or, oh, stop fear mongering and calling everyone a communist the way they call anyone who supports President Trump a Nazi. And, in fact, the Media Research Center has recently conducted a study where we watched these different networks. How many times they condemn someone for calling President Trump a Nazi?

[00:23:08] That was only 5% of the time versus about 80% of the time they just nod along. These pundits nod along as they're actually they're condemning people. They're condemning people for calling these candidates socialists and communists. But they're nodding along as as people are calling Trump supporters Nazis on air. Yes, and it's really it's disturbing to see all of it calling your fellow American that term.

[00:23:36] Oh, and by the way, it's the National Socialist Party of Germany. They never bring that up. But why should a voter feel that it was insincere to to make that message out, Justine, because they really have been just egregious. Most recently, to me, the fact that we have our own senator right here in Georgia, John Ossoff, going after Natalie Harp, making this claim that she's having an affair with the president of the United States. If someone on the right did that, oh, this mainstream media would be all over that story.

[00:24:06] Well, here's the thing. If you're a white woman, especially a blonde, the media and the left will just treat you like you're a bimbo, especially if you're on the right. And you have to you have to basically apologize for your existence.

[00:24:20] So you have three options, right? You can either become a dude like Ellen Page if you're an attractive woman to begin with, or you can write a Times piece, a piece for the Times or do an interview for Time magazine like Caitlin Clark did, where she apologized for her existence and talked about how she has white privilege. Or you can be like Sophie Cunningham and combat it with like a little bit of an edgy point.

[00:24:49] But that's that's what they love when you're too attractive. If you're a woman in general, this goes beyond these women who support President Trump, that the party that claims to be the party of feminists, the party that promote women, their promotion of women stop short when that woman is too successful. She's too attractive. She's blonde. She's conventionally beautiful.

[00:25:13] And especially when she supports President Trump or she doesn't fall in line with this feminist, fifth wave feminist agenda. For those that care, I am on Team Cunningham. I like when the Indiana fever take on the Chicago sky, even though Chicagoland, my hometown and my bears, oh my gosh, they're going to Hammond, Indiana. But besides sports and the culture wars, Catherine, we're 61 days out. Let's begin in the Lone Star State of Texas where that midterm convention is next week.

[00:25:42] Let's look at his own words once again. The Democrat nominee for Senate said in 2020 that capitalism was an oppressive system to be dismantled. Now, Tallarico's campaign today calls him a proud capitalist. Which one is it? Yeah, I was actually just watching a podcast where they were playing a clip of Tallarico where he linked climate change and white supremacy and capitalism.

[00:26:11] And that was something that was something that needed to be dismantled to help with climate change. And it's just it's kind of ridiculous when he's saying things like that and talking about how God is non-binary. I'm just not even sure how Texans I'm actually from Texas, born and raised in Texas. And then I moved to North Carolina. So I would feel personally embarrassed if my my state of Texas ended up voting for Tallarico just because of how absolutely insane he is. So but I think that we're in a good spot.

[00:26:42] We have a national deployment that we're going to be doing in just a few days in a few weeks here. It's going to be the same weekend as the RNC midterm convention. We figured since everyone's already coming out to that, why not stay out for a few more days and knock some doors? And so we're going to be sending quite a few young Republicans from all over the nation to knock doors. Oh, that is going to be a blast. Someone who's been part of that before. Gear up and get ready with some of your best friends around the country.

[00:27:09] Now, Justine, his campaign said he missed the mark on some of his past statements. And we know he doesn't like chicken wings, but he had to consume some of those to reach out to the meat manufacturers in the great state of Texas. But you've watched 100 of these things go down. What's the difference between missing the mark and simply changing your mind and actually being authentic? Well, it kind of reminds me of when Obama suddenly supported gay marriage after he opposed it for a really long time.

[00:27:38] But this guy is as sincere, especially to the media, as him swapping out his Chevy for a Volvo during his campaign commercial, it seems. And for someone who looks like a ventriloquist dummy, he can certainly rely on the media to serve as puppets for his agenda.

[00:28:00] To the point where you had Dana Bash, the way she spoke about this race, where she said, well, this is a race with Ken Paxton. She said someone who has ethical issues versus a Christian. Well, Tallarico is so Christian that he says that as a Christian, he hates Christianity. Oh, and also as a Christian, God is non-binary and that there are six genders.

[00:28:27] And he supported sexual transitions on minors. And yet you have these outlets. You actually had MS Now complaining that why are people on the right focusing on Tallarico support for gender transitions or all these other radical woke issues? It's like they basically said on air, don't look over there. Don't look over there.

[00:28:55] Well, it's almost as bizarre as Abdul Al-Sayed was on Jesse Waters' show the other night comparing castration to circumcision. Clearly, he did not go to medical school and Tallarico has not read the Old or New Testaments. I would advise them to look both of those up. But what amazes me is that all of this did not come out of Republican opposition files. CNN's actually breaking these stories as well with their own K-file unit just two days ago.

[00:29:23] So what's going to happen as we approach November? And I like both of your takes on this because we really have a clear positioning here of common sense versus crazy. Now go Catherine first. Yeah, I mean, I think that there's a clear decision here in the midterms. I know that people are saying that the Democrats are going to have a wave year.

[00:29:48] I mean, they said that in past years and they ended up not having as big of a blue wave as they first thought that they would. So I'm cautiously optimistic that we're going to do well. I think that we need to not rest on our laurels on our end. And we need to make sure that we are getting our people out there, knocking on doors, talking to voters, talking to your friends. I like to say to people that politics will do you whether or not you do politics. So you need to go out there and make your voices heard.

[00:30:18] And Justine, your take on what's going to happen with what's clearly becoming a turnout election? It depends on and I think the media will certainly do this, how desperate the media gets and how many people still believe the elitist networks, how many people still tune into CNN and MS now. And they'll probably start gaslighting the rest of America even more harshly.

[00:30:45] They will continue to pretend that these candidates are totally not radical at all. They're totally capitalists as more of these people will flip-flop on their positions and pretend they've never said that they want to transition minors at all. Yes, and that's why we're doing the due diligence here at the Jenny Beth Show and with Tea Party Patriots Action, in addition to the great conservative media that exists to get the truth out there.

[00:31:15] So thanks be to God that it's 2026 with all these different platforms. And we were born for such a time as this to take this on and to be, in a sense, modern founding fathers and founding women to go out there and fight just as our founders did way back 250 years ago. But, Catherine, I'd like to go to the free sunshine state of Florida. Watch this clip. Governor Ron DeSantis has officially endorsed Republican nominee for Governor Byron Donalds.

[00:31:45] Enthusiasm for Republicans nationwide isn't what it's been in more recent elections. And I'm here to tell you, don't take your foot off the gas. This is just something that we have an opportunity for the voters to build off the success that we have. We've got our candidates here for statewide office, which I'm happy to bring out here in a second. We're going to be able to tell you exactly what their plans are for the future of Florida.

[00:32:13] Donalds posted a thank you on X to Governor DeSantis for his endorsement, saying the governor has done incredible work to make Florida the envy of America. Governor DeSantis endorsing Congressman Byron Donalds for his gubernatorial seat Tuesday night. And this is 18 months after President Trump did so. So it's an inside slate rather than his own. And everyone worries about their legacy, of course, especially I'm thinking Governor DeSantis doing such a great job. He can't imagine anyone else taking that spot.

[00:32:42] But there's term limits here in the southeast. So why did that take a year and a half to do? Well, I don't want to speculate, but primaries are primaries. There were obviously different relationships and political considerations involved with Governor DeSantis. I don't live in Florida, so I'm not as plugged in as far as the tea, if you will, on the on the scene. But but I'm glad that he has supported our Republican nominee, Byron Donalds now.

[00:33:09] And that's what matters, that we're united going into the midterm elections. Yes, it's an exciting time to be a Republican, especially in the southeast. But Justine, the real test is whether DeSantis actually campaigns for him. Can you see him going out on the ground? What would that look like and what would you bet on? And can we predict the political future of Governor Ron DeSantis? Well, it's usual.

[00:33:33] It's typical that the outgoing governor or the outgoing lawmaker will campaign for the nominee. So I can definitely see that something that he would probably want to do. And I will also see we will all also see how the media during the general race, they're going to prop up David Jolly as someone who's also more of a moderate. And he was he claimed he was previously a Republican.

[00:34:03] Then he keeps flip flopping like it seems everyone else is. And the media will continue to to cover that up. And Justine to the Empire State of New York. Socialists, dozens of them actually heading up to Albany, the capital there in January. And they have published the bill list already. I can't believe I mean, that's what it's amazing about right now is they're actually telling us who they are. But a two percent surcharge over a million dollars.

[00:34:29] They want to set this with a nine member board with commercial rents through the state housing authority. Also, a data center moratorium. What is that? And can we get rid of Governor Kathy Hochul in a peaceful and patriotic way? Well, speaking of data centers, it's very suspicious that suddenly these leftists and socialists are just rooting for them all to be banned.

[00:34:58] And then I did a little bit of digging and realized I just discovered that OpenAI and X actually uncovered at least 200 Chinese bot accounts that the CCP created in order to spread misinformation as they love to use that term. And propaganda against data centers and to fear monger the rest of America.

[00:35:21] So, of course, this seems to be something that they're jumping on top of, along with every other socialist ideal. Nothing that you own is yours. The government should be in charge of everything and including our apparently free grocery stores that turned out not to be free anyway. And I'm surprised this DSA meeting in Albany. I'm surprised they don't have their masks or maybe they probably do.

[00:35:49] But you'll see these videos come out of every DSA meeting. And they have to have like five trigger warnings before someone even gets up there and speaks. Because it's always like the instead of the man at the podium, it's always the person at the podium. And everyone's just like crashed down there and their entire faces are covered in this what I call the COVID hijab. Yes, I like that.

[00:36:15] I mean, our host of Woke of the Week from MRC, Justine Brooke Murray. I love your analogies because we've been covering so much of that here this week on the Jenny Best Show about the Chinese misinformation coming from the Communist Party on these data centers. And Catherine, notice they are arguing this ideology, saying that the data centers in Rockland County get a 95% discount on energy. So is that a smarter pitch than we usually give them credit for?

[00:36:43] And how can we counter the Chinese Communist Party with this misinformation? Yeah, you know, I think that, again, people are there's there's reasonable skepticism about data centers. I myself have my own skepticisms about it. And I think that we need to be building it where it matters and being smart about it. And conservatives don't have to choose between being pro-technology and protecting our communities.

[00:37:08] The American Conservation Coalition, ACC as we call it, they've been talking about responsible data center planning, including protecting prime farmland. And so avoiding using prime farmland and doing it in places that make more sense. So we're not getting rid of those places that are very needed for us to continue to have, you know, crops and things like that.

[00:37:29] And so I think that that's a great response to people's skepticism is like, hey, let's work together on having more responsible planning for these data centers. Yes, it's all about having good minds come in. And I even saw an idea with some tech experts to go up into space. So we'll see what happens with that. But the U.S. has to lead the charge on this A.I. race. And Justine, you just came off of a great RJC conference in Las Vegas.

[00:37:54] But tomorrow, a four day socialist conference opening in Chicago, Illinois. We have the socialism schedule up about how they want to dismantle our constitutional republic. And just taking a quick look on there, the Marxism Education Series, Reproductive Justice Strategy. Strategy session and organizing social workers for abolition summit. Sounds really hopeful. But Angela Davis and Hassan Piker, they'll be there. And what is actually being organized in that room?

[00:38:24] And is that truly their goal? As I mentioned, Justine, to undermine our constitutional republic for which it stands? Well, they proudly announced it's their goal. And I credit Fox News for having some of these DSA members and their leaders on. But you had this smug man bun who got up there and said, well, yeah, we want to abolish the Senate. Yeah, we want to abolish police. Yeah, we want to abolish presidential elections. So instead, they can install a puppet president.

[00:38:53] And it's decided by their version of some Congress. But I wouldn't be surprised if instead of, you know, playing the national anthem, this DSA conference starts off with the Muslim call to prayer. That seems to be their new anthem. Previously, it was the Black National Anthem. Or maybe it will be the Chinese Communist Anthem. But I'm betting it will start out with the jihadi call to prayer.

[00:39:23] And of course, they always mean what they say. And they're smugly. And they know that they're having Hassan Piker because of everything that he said. Because even when he apologized, he didn't really apologize for saying America deserved 9-11. He went up on stage recently and kind of gave like a snarky half apology. And when he said, okay, fine, I don't believe 9-11 should have happened, the audience booed.

[00:39:53] They booed. So you can tell exactly where their heads are at. Yes, it's quite disturbing. But, Catherine, your take on what's going to happen in Chicago over the next few days? Well, apparently they're going to be singing and struggling according to their programming. So I'd love to hear a little snippet of that. But I think that part of the problem, especially among this younger generation, is that a lot of them weren't even alive during 9-11.

[00:40:19] And so there's just this lack of remembrance of what the entire country went through. I was like five. So I still remember it technically. But I think that some of them need to watch United 93 and some of these movies that actually remind you of what everyone went through and what our country went through. And World Trade Center, the Nicolas Cage film of those who are now passing in even grander numbers. And the countless surgeries they went through and the asbestos poisoning.

[00:40:48] Our hats off to the firemen, the police who ran in there and the countless stories. I remember it very well in seventh grade. And for those many teachers that I can credit with me becoming a right-wing thinker or right-wing thinker and a conservative, they were outstanding that day as moms and dads simply carrying on together as Americans. Our yearbook that year had the Statue of Liberty and the American flag engulfed in it.

[00:41:13] And let's always remember to be 9-12 people as we come up to 25 years of that horrible tragedy that will bind us together forever as Americans. But a great first half of the show. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Justine. She has some more work fighting for liberty out there. And Justine Brooke Murray of Media Research Center, thank you so much as Catherine will continue with us on the show. Thanks for having me. It was so great speaking with you both. Oh, yes. Always a pleasure. We'll take a quick break.

[00:41:43] But before the break, here's that call to action to get out the poll worker and poll watcher. It's so crucial. Help at the polls dot com. Go to help at the polls dot com. Sign up to be a poll worker, a poll watcher today. Again, that's help at the polls dot com. Tea Party Patriots Action trained more than 35,000 poll watchers and poll workers over the last two cycles.

[00:42:11] It's been recruiting them since 2012. We've been doing that right here at Tea Party Patriots Action. But first, because of this deadline arriving, we need to get that done. So when you make that call about poll watching to your county, call the Republican Party or call your county Democrat Party or Central Committee, whatever party you're involved with, because we want both parties in that room so that whoever wins the country's trust the count. It's about accountability.

[00:42:41] And now to our break that actually talks about this very thing. We'll be right back with you in just a moment. Election day is Tuesday, November 3rd, and your precinct needs a trustworthy neighbor in that room. No matter who wins, everyone must have trust in the outcome of our elections. There are two ways to get involved, and a lot of people get these mixed up. A poll worker is sometimes called an election official.

[00:43:06] They run the precinct, and normally your local county board of elections hires you, trains you, and in most places pays you for the work as a poll worker. And we need poll workers on election day as well as during early voting. A poll watcher observes the process and reports what they see. Normally, to do this, you sign up through your local political party, like your local Republican Party or Democratic Party or Central Committee, whatever your area calls it.

[00:43:36] And a poll watcher is a volunteer position. Now, I named both parties just then on purpose. No matter who wins this election, I want every American to trust the outcome of the election. We need people to sign up to be poll workers first because those positions are filling up as we speak, and that deadline normally happens before the deadline for being a poll watcher. Don't wait for someone else to answer this call. You can be an American hero this election cycle.

[00:44:03] Visit helpatthepolls.com to learn how to get started. Again, that's helpatthepolls.com. Welcome back to The Jenny Beth Show. I'm Robert McNeely in for Jenny Beth as we have Catherine Whiteford, the national co-chair for the Young Republican National Federation. And I'm so happy to have you for this segment, Catherine, because we highlighted earlier on the show your amazing work with the YRNF.

[00:44:32] This is your part, the fall deployments. It's up on the screen. You have this deployment schedule with real dates on it and hitting some big states like Texas to Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, down to your state of North Carolina and mine right here in the Peach State of Georgia. Walk people through where the young Republicans are going and how vital these deployments will be in the coming days and weeks.

[00:45:02] Yeah, absolutely. Well, I mean, some of these races are going to be primarily focused on the U.S. Senate races, such as my state of North Carolina and especially over in Michigan with El Sayed running. That's going to be a very interesting race to watch. And I think that people should, instead of just complaining, hey, we don't want this person in there, sign up and go out, actually go out and knock doors and be an active part. So that way you can make your mark. Elections have consequences. And there are cases where it's going to be a small margin.

[00:45:33] I've organized deployments where it was a 4,000 vote difference for a special election for Congress. And so it really can be that small of a difference. So definitely make your mark. And in North Carolina, we definitely don't want our former Democrat governor, Roy Cooper, to be our U.S. senator. And I think that a lot of people look at him. He's like, oh, he's a good old boy. And, you know, he's from North Carolina. He's got the accent. You know, he's such a nice person.

[00:45:59] But, you know, I think it's a very different prospect from having him as a governor to having him as just another rubber stamp in the U.S. Senate as a Democrat. It definitely gives him room to go further to the left and be under that pressure, whether it is Chuck Schumer leading the party or not. But it seems as if his days are numbered with the influence of AOC and company and especially the work that Bernie Sanders has done over the last several cycles.

[00:46:24] But the Socialists put about 8,500 volunteers on the doors in one New York City primary and knocked more than 750,000 of them. That's their own count. But what does a Republican deployment look like next to that? And I know that New York City, it takes into account many, many apartments. Yeah, well, I would say apartments sometimes can actually be a lot faster to knock.

[00:46:50] So you get through a lot more bang for your buck as far as time is concerned than maybe in some of these more rural congressional districts where you actually have to drive in between houses. But it just depends on how many people we can bring out. I mean, typically we'll have between 100 or 200 people at some of our national deployments. And we had one recently where we knocked 12,000 doors in a single weekend with just young Republicans who were there for free. They didn't have to get paid to knock doors because we actually care about what happens

[00:47:20] to our country. And I would suspect that the people that were knocking doors in the example that you gave, they were probably paid to go out there and do that. Right. We do have a lot of that on the ground, of course. And you definitely get your cardio in, especially in Georgia with all the hills in North Georgia, but throughout this beautiful country of ours. But Catherine, for someone who is maybe 26 years old, new to this process, has never knocked

[00:47:45] a door in their life and intends on volunteering in a local campaign or even joining a deployment with you and the YRNF, how do they get involved today and how can they make that difference now 61 days out? Absolutely. Well, you can visit our website at YRNF.com. And then you can go and sign up to join us for one of those deployments. We are helping to cover people's travel costs and hotels and food with the help of our donors

[00:48:14] to be able to make that happen. So it's a great way for you to make your mark, support candidates that align with your values. And in some cases, you're going to be able to meet those candidates in person. So if there's anything that you're specifically passionate about, you can actually talk to that person. I think that a lot more people should realize just how accessible their elected officials actually are if you're willing to put in the work. And my dad once told me, and actually this is why I got involved in politics, was at 18,

[00:48:43] he said, hey, maybe Catherine, instead of complaining about it, you should go out and be the voice that you want to see. And so I would give anybody that's in that range that exact same challenge, that if you want to be that voice, then that should be you. You shouldn't just kind of pass the buck on to somebody else. As Bush 41 said, get off the bench and get in the game, an analogy to his favorite sport of baseball, but can definitely be a difference maker in the game of politics. Now let's take a look at this.

[00:49:13] Las Vegas hosting the Republican Jewish Coalition Leadership Summit with many outstanding speakers, including Scott Jennings. Even Justine Brooke Murray, who was just on the show today, had a picture with him in the hall. Of course, Senator Jim Banks of Indiana, Dave McCormick out of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that stalwart Jim Jordan. What a warrior in Congress. But how does a room like that inspire the grassroots?

[00:49:38] And how do these conferences equip activists and candidates alike with the tools that they need to make a difference in their own communities? Absolutely. Well, I just saw Michael Watley on that list, our U.S. Senate candidate here in North Carolina. So, I mean, I think that it fulfills a lot of different things. It helps with the candidates getting to get in touch with potential donors to help support their campaign so that they can be competitive.

[00:50:04] Because unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, Democrats outpace us in fundraising. And so they definitely need to go out there, get that money to be able to compete, but also to be hearing the different interest groups and what they care about so that they can then try to bring those forward once they get elected. So I think that it's very important for them to be going out to things like that. Now, the Vice President, J.D. Vance, spoke behind closed doors, and the organizers said

[00:50:31] that it was so people could talk candidly about the anti-Semitism, all the issues the Jewish community is facing in America right now. What did you make of that choice? And to your point earlier, we have accessibility to these elected officials, perhaps more than ever, as we see the President and Vice President really making the rounds, not only with media, but those in the grassroots. Absolutely. Well, I think that obviously we don't support certain types of people that say things that

[00:51:00] are just beyond reproach, beyond certain things that we would consider in just public society. But at the same time, there are reasonable debates, reasonable conversations to be had about various issues. I think that a lot of people don't really care about nuance anymore. Everything is just kind of black and white, but sometimes there can be gray areas. And I do think that the reason why Trump got elected in 2024 was because he broadened the coalition.

[00:51:26] He had people like Tulsi Gabbard and people like RFK Jr., who are former Democrats. And so we need to have those people at least at the same table so that we can have conversations and to support the broader mission of conservative values. Yes, I've been seeing that a lot with our big tent that we've been really throwing out there. And that summit was planned around the ceasefire happening in the Middle East.

[00:51:52] It turned to a hard conversation about the anti-Semitism inside various coalitions in America. So how did you think it ultimately went? I know you weren't in the room there, but are you hearing anything on the ground that gives hope as we approach Labor Day and approach really the full steam ahead of these elections? Well, as you might know, you know, the young Republicans had her own issues back last year.

[00:52:18] And I think that it's important for us to be calling out actual hatred of different groups. And J.D. Vance did also make some statements in regards to that as well back when that happened. And I think that that's, you know, it's important for us to be also telling our own like, hey, there are certain lines that you should not cross. There's reasonable conversation, reasonable debate. We believe in freedom of speech. But there are also like actual hatred.

[00:52:44] And some of the comments that happened last year in regards to the young Republican chat, which that's probably what you guys assume I was alluding to, they were targeted at specific individuals, too. So it wasn't just generalities. It was also targeted at people. And some of them kind of went into the almost criminal territory. And so that's definitely not something that we support in the young Republicans. Yes. And kudos to you and Hayden for really addressing that and taking that on full stop, because

[00:53:14] when it does get personal like that, when it's I was amazed by what I was seeing and leadership did an outstanding job to really hold the people accountable for not only their words, but potential actions in this. And it's something that I think we've become used to with all the social media, somewhat of a numbing of the effect of what's communicated at times. But which election are you following most closely this year?

[00:53:44] It could be national, state or local. I know the Tar Heel State has plenty of them, especially the U.S. Senate race. And which one really means the most to you? Well, obviously, North Carolina, because I live here. I would like to have two Republican U.S. senators that we currently have. I would like to not have a Democrat. So I'm definitely looking forward to that and doing everything that I can to support Michael Watley, our former RNC chairman. But also there's some other ones like Michigan.

[00:54:14] Obviously, that's going to be an interesting one to watch. And then one that I just kind of think is interesting, and I really hope that it goes our way, is Alaska with their weird jungle primary system. And the fact that there are two Dan Sullivans running, and one of them is our guy, and one of them is just another guy who is also Dan Sullivan. And I'm assuming that's a liberal strategy to try to make sure that the Democrat Mary Peltola, I think is her name, that she just gets in there because people aren't going to do their

[00:54:43] research and be like, wait, which Dan Sullivan is this? And so I'm really hoping that that one goes our direction. Oh, me too. After covering local politics up there, I realized how essential Seward's folly became, as they called it, the Secretary of State under Lincoln, really obtaining Alaska from Russia at the time and how smart that was, especially as the Civil War approach when it comes to international defense and especially defense of what they call the lower 48.

[00:55:12] But we have a situation here, Catherine. The former mayor of Anchorage, Dan Sullivan, has endorsed incumbent United States Senator Dan Sullivan. And we have an opponent, Dan Sullivan. So it's quite something. And perhaps that ranked choice voting will come into a laser focus for all of Americans, as the official Republican stance on that is to go away from that because it takes forever to really get the count out. And it's not fair to either side.

[00:55:40] And at least when I covered local politics there, both the red and the blue, Republicans and Democrats had a lot of questions for the local clerk. I just like some of your take on ranked choice voting. And if you see that becoming really a problem for other states. I mean, I think that we're seeing the exact reason why this can be a problem, which is what's going on in Alaska. And I hope that my friends in Louisiana that I just visited this past weekend don't shoot

[00:56:06] me over this for saying that I don't really think it's a great idea, but it definitely makes things a lot more clear cut when there's just two people at the end of it or three if you have a third party candidate. But we do avoid things like this, hopefully, by just having a normal primary. So I would tend to say that I think that ranked choice voting and these jungle primaries are not the best way to go. I'm with you on that 100%.

[00:56:32] Now, please tell us more about the upcoming YRNF campaign deployments and how people can really help your efforts in their neck of the woods, because whether it's actually knocking on doors, making the phone calls, they could do it in person from a distance. But also, they can donate as well with their time, talent, and treasure to help out the YRNF. Absolutely. Well, I mentioned it earlier, but we do have also some regional deployments.

[00:57:00] So if you're not going, if you don't happen to be in Texas, Iowa, Maine, or Michigan, we've got all of these other deployments as well that are going to be a bit smaller. And so we hope that you join us for those and you see the website on the screen as well. But we are going to be able to connect you if you sign up on there and you express interest in joining our organization. We can then connect you with your state leadership and then also to your local chapter to get involved. So there's obviously more than just these national things. Local really matters.

[00:57:29] The people that are on your school board, county commission, all these people really matter to your day-to-day life. And unfortunately, there's a lot of people in our age range who just don't vote. And that's really frustrating because they've kind of just, they've gotten jaded or they're just like, what's the point of this? We actually had a mayoral race over here in my county, which is fairly Republican. And we had to determine a mayoral race by a coin toss because it was a single vote.

[00:57:57] And so that's where your vote can matter. And that's a pretty more local example of how that can actually matter. One more vote could have determined that election. And those races will affect you first when it comes to infrastructure, education quality, also what's good and what's bad in your municipality and your county. So as I said earlier, get off the bench and get in the game. Catherine Whiteford, the national co-chairman of the Young Republican National Federation,

[00:58:27] thank you so much for your work. Thank you for joining us today. Please give our regards to Hayden as well. Just amazing work that you both do. And I'm in awe of your leadership as we get ready to do the unthinkable, change the course of history and have Republican majorities, not only in Congress, but our state legislatures. So get out that vote. Thank you for joining us today. Absolutely. Thank you for having me.
