Two Socialists Win Senate Nominations & $10 Billion for the SAVE America Act | Moore, McNeily

[00:00:00] The House is back in session today. Will they get the government funded this week? That is a question everyone in Washington, D.C. is talking about. And Democrat Socialists of America are on the rise. I'm Jenny Beth Martin, and this is The Jenny Beth Show.

[00:00:28] Welcome to The Jenny Beth Show. So here's our first Capitol Hill. Then we're going to spend most of this hour on big government socialism. It's in way more than one state. Two self-described socialists are now major party nominees for the United States Senate. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America, and the DSA's platform calls for abolishing the United States Senate and the police and prisons.

[00:00:58] We'll start that in New York, and then we're going around the country to Michigan, to a conference opening in Chicago on Friday, and to a co-chair of the organization that defended Fidel Castro on CNN, to an anchor whose grandfather was jailed by Castro for 20 years. And we'll close with a rapid fire round touching on how Chinese communist bot networks are funding the American backlash against data centers.

[00:01:24] So let me bring in our panel for the hour. Dwayne Moore ran for the New York State Assembly in Queens in 2024 as a Republican in the 29th District. He's a county committee member. He taught ninth grade English for five years, and he's going to walk us through what big government socialism looks like inside New York City. Dwayne, thanks so much for joining me today. Yes, thank you so much for having me.

[00:01:50] And then, of course, we've got Robert McNeely, who is the director of broadcasting and grassroots engagement here at Tea Party Patriots Action. And he also ran for the Georgia House in 2024. So between both of them, I've got it at both ends of the country, covered by people who've actually been on the ballot. Robert, thanks for being with me. Oh, thanks, Jenny Beth. All right. So we're going to go to breaking news before we talk about Capitol Hill and before we get into big government socialism.

[00:02:18] So I want you to react to this. What do you think of this clip from Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy? It's from an announcement he made this morning. Let's roll. We also have shut down 160 additional schools. These are schools that, in essence, certify that they are qualified to train truck drivers.

[00:02:41] However, they don't have adequate space to put a potential driver in a truck and have them go around the cones and do the turns. And they don't have space to even allow the truck driver to actually get behind the wheel and drive. They have unlicensed instructors. So you have instructors who are uncertified who are allegedly training the new truck drivers to operate on American roadways.

[00:03:09] And they oftentimes didn't have classrooms. One school that we're shutting down was so flippant as they told us their classroom was the school bus that was in the backyard. That was the classroom for which they were training new truck drivers. Dwayne and Robert, I want both of you to react to what Secretary Duffy just said. Dwayne, I'll start with you.

[00:03:32] Yeah, I think it's great that the Trump administration is taking fraud seriously and they're shutting down a lot of these nefarious schools. I think we've seen this also with the foreign truck drivers that they were getting their CDL license and were killing American citizens due to their lack of understanding of English, due to their lack of understanding or respect for our roads and our rules. And people have to take this seriously.

[00:03:59] We've taken our safety for granted, even on the roads. And I'm happy that the transportation secretary is clamping down on this. It's much needed. And Robert, what do you think? Oh, it's crucial, Jenny Beth. As I mentioned before, as Dwayne has said, life and death situations on America's interstate and our roads that are connecting us coast to coast. It's a horrible thing. This dates back to the scandal in the Prairie State of Illinois.

[00:04:29] Former governor, Republican Governor George Ryan went to jail over this. The license for bribes scandal that was so nefarious back then because when he served as Illinois secretary of state, his license for bribes and union contracts in return for these illegal driver's license led to the death of a pastor's family, a family of seven on the road. Can you imagine? And now this has become even more and more of a common story since the Biden administration.

[00:04:57] Yeah, it is a terrible thing to to know that that was happening. I'm just when he was saying that there were classrooms that were inside of the bus and then there were instructors who are not certified themselves. It really is quite alarming.

[00:05:14] You get on the road, you expect the people who are on the road with you to be properly licensed, to be properly trained and also to ensure that when they're driving these really huge rigs that are very, very heavy and can be deadly, that they know what they're doing with it. So I'm very glad to see that Secretary Duffy is taking taking steps to crack down on on these schools.

[00:05:39] OK, Dwayne, now that we've touched on that breaking news, I want to introduce you more to our audience. You I met you while I was in in New York a couple of weeks ago and was on on Newsmax. You're and you have been a ninth grade English teacher. You've run for the New York State Assembly against a sitting incumbent. Tell tell our audience a little bit about about yourself, about your background, how you went from teaching to running for office to being a regular on networks like Newsmax.

[00:06:09] Yes. Well, first of all, thank you again for having me, Jenny Beth Martin. It was such a pleasure meeting you. I'll be quick because my background is very untraditional. Graduated from Stony Brook, went into education. I taught sixth grade and ninth grade English. And I was also a college counselor. Then I got signed in the entertainment world. I was a professional model and actor in New York and L.A. I did that. I didn't feel fulfilled. I always had a love of politics. And being from Jamaica, Queens, I felt that we just had this monolith of liberal policies that were failing us, specifically in the education space.

[00:06:39] When many black kids are graduating, incompetent reading. They don't have any skills and they're just getting passed through. And I seen this firsthand as a teacher. So I ran in a district. I was four percent registered Republican. I ended up getting 15 percent of the vote, which on a margins basis is quite impressive, but still a shellacking nonetheless. But I wanted people to realize or I wanted to give people an option in my area. A lot of times there are no Republicans running. The Democrats run unopposed and our areas are failing.

[00:07:09] High taxes, high crime. Schools are failing. We're literally seeing nothing in return for our votes. There's no measurable way that we're seeing any improvement. And actually say the American dream is getting further and further away. So I decided to, I think, do the patriotic thing and put my hat in the ring. And that ended up leading me into the space of political commentary and Newsmax where I was able to meet you. Well, I am very glad that you put your hat in the ring.

[00:07:38] And I understand it was 15 percent, but it was in a district where there are only four percent Republican voters. So you did really well in that district considering what the makeup of it is. And I think it just goes to show that it's important that we're not just leaving a vacuum without and not going in and trying to fill the vacuum and tell what our side of the story is or what our positions are, what our solutions are. I think it's incredibly important to be able to do that.

[00:08:07] And that's exactly what you did, Dwayne. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. And it's not a democracy if people don't have choices. And in too many areas, we've conceded our states and local governments to lunatics. And we don't even give people on the ground option to hear our argument. And honestly, until people heard I was a Republican, many people were very surprised of how common sense our agendas are. So it's something I will plan to do in the future again. And right now, I'll just be a champion for our message.

[00:08:38] Well, I'm very glad that you're doing that. And then for everyone listening right now, if it makes you wonder if you could ever step up and run for office, I encourage you to consider that. And to start at the local level, like Robert and Dwayne both did. It's very important. Senator Ron Johnson says that filling every one of those local seats for office, whether it is a state legislative seat or a county commission or city council, whatever it may be, that that has an upticket effect.

[00:09:08] People expect the down ballot and the coattail effect. But he says it also has an upticket effect because it introduces new ideas to people who maybe have never even heard of the Republican ideas. And it brings out friends and family who may not have gone out to vote at all. So it's important to consider that. And I'm really blessed to be with two people who have done it. OK, let's go to Capitol Hill. The House of Representatives is back in D.C.

[00:09:37] this week. And you guys know that means I'm going to be mentioning the Save America Act. And before we get to Congress, let me just explain something again to you about the Save America Act to explain why I care about it the way I do. And I want to tell you, Cleta Mitchell and I were on a coalition conference call with Senator Mike Lee in January of 2024. Cleta was talking about what was going on in Arizona. And I asked Senator Lee to write a bill to fix it. And here's exactly what she was describing. And it's still true today.

[00:10:07] Arizona passed a statewide referendum requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote after the National Voter Registration Act or the Motor Voter Law was already federal law. The referendum passed and then it was challenged in in the court system. And it went all the way to the Supreme Court. In 2013, the court said Arizona had to accept the federal registration form from the MVRA because the MVRA is federal law and federal law is supreme law of the land.

[00:10:36] So Arizona built a workaround and they still run it today. They have two ballots. If you show proof of citizenship when you register to vote, you get to vote for everything. President, governor, all the way down to the most local level, which is a precinct committee man. If you did not show proof of citizenship, you still get to vote for president, Senate and Congress. And in a border state that's now a swing state in a presidential election, I think that's crazy.

[00:11:05] And I thought it was crazy back in 2024. It's why I asked Senator Mike Lee to write a bill to address this problem. And it's why Tea Party Patriots Action has committed so much time and effort into advancing this legislation. It's one of the problems that I learned about after 2020. And it's something that over 80 percent of Americans agree with us. Only American citizens should be voting in American elections.

[00:11:32] It just seems like a common sense piece of legislation that we should work to get passed. So it still hasn't passed and we're still going to keep working on it. We haven't given up. The House is back and it passed a $95 billion reconciliation blueprint back on July 22nd.

[00:11:53] The vote was 216 to 14 and it included $10 billion to administer the Save America Act. The Senate left for their August break without passing it, which by it I mean the reconciliation bill. So they did not advance the reconciliation bill and they didn't even take it up. So they went on recess without doing that.

[00:12:21] Senator or Majority Leader Thune has said that he's going to hold off anything on reconciliation until after the government funding question is settled. Well, the Senate isn't even in town until September the 14th. It's 14 days from now. The House, however, is back.

[00:12:42] And what they are saying from reports, what we're hearing from reports is that the primary goal this week for the House of Representatives is to pass a Senate-backed, not reconciliation, but continuing resolution. That would be a stopgap funding measure that would fund the government until December the 12th, until December the 11th.

[00:13:04] It would be enacted through what's called suspension of the rules, which will prevent any amendments from happening so they can move it through quickly and get the exact same thing the Senate's already passed so that hopefully it can go on to President Trump's desk. So my question for you guys, and Robert, I'll start with you. I'd like your take on it. There are only 64 days left until the election.

[00:13:30] Do you think that this is the best strategy for the House to get the government funded this week and then they can come back and work on other measures when they come back? They'll be off next week and then they'll be back at the same time the Senate comes back. And also, do you think it's going to put any more pressure on the Senate to take up reconciliation when they return if the House indeed does pass the continuing resolution?

[00:13:56] Well, thank you, Jenny Beth, for your very kind comments as well, because it's so true that really the down ballot tickets and having the options like Dwayne running in that district does help candidates at the top. We're seeing that phenomenon, especially here in Georgia. To this entire reconciliation package and all the amazing work that Mike Johnson has done as Speaker and House leadership, they've really done the heavy lifting. So I think right now this is the best approach.

[00:14:22] And Senator Thune, Majority Leader Thune, please get the Senate back and out of this August recess and the summer recess. I thought they should not have left in the first place because of your hard work, Jenny Beth, on the Save America Act and Cleta Mitchell to countless others who want election integrity and the proper reforms. This has been going on over two years now. This is what the American people want, both Republican, Democrat, Independent alike.

[00:14:49] It's time to pass the Save America Act and it's time for the Senate to really do its due diligence and its work because House leadership has been right there with such narrow majorities. So, again, kudos and my hats off to House Speaker Johnson and also the entire Republican leadership. And Dwayne, what are you thinking of it as you've heard what what the House is likely to do this week? Yes, I'm going to be a little more harsh.

[00:15:15] I think that not passing the Save Act is treasonous against American people. It's basically saying that we don't have the right to have safe elections. Anybody from anywhere should be able to come over here and have access to vote, not only for the president, but to influence our local elections. We had a historic amount of illegal immigrants entered during Joe Biden, and we already had an extreme number of illegal immigrants.

[00:15:38] We've seen in New Jersey they found a number of people illegally on their voter rolls, which we know is a known issue all over the country. So I don't really understand what the holdup is on Senator Thune's behalf with the Senate. I think this is what he was elected for. This is what the Republicans were put into office for.

[00:16:00] It's very rare that you could find something as popular as voter ID, not only among Republicans, independents, but Democrats and even members of the DSA are polling pretty high, thinking that it's OK. And if Zoran Mamdani in New York can say that we need an ID to now get groceries, why is it an issue to have Americans show ID to make sure that legal citizens are voting? It's treasonous against Americans. We need to make that argument. Our elections are not safe and we shouldn't be quiet until it's passed.

[00:16:28] Yeah, we have to keep putting the pressure on. That's why we're talking about it again today. And I hope that if the House gets this done, then when the Senate comes back in two weeks from now, because they are not going to come back before then, then we can see them move on on the budget reconciliation bill. It's extremely frustrating, even if at this point they move on it in two weeks from now on September 14th.

[00:16:56] If they passed it on September 14th, it still isn't enough time. It will be step one in that process for the budget reconciliation process. They have to pass a budget resolution. Then you have to go through and actually create the budget. You've got to reconcile it and get that through. So it's not going to happen for this election cycle.

[00:17:21] But I don't think it's any reason to take the gas or the foot off the gas pedal. We need to keep pressing on it because if we don't, while we still have momentum on our side, it's not going to get done. And we need to get it done. If it won't be done for this election, it needs to be done for the next presidential election. And there's no reason not to keep working on it.

[00:17:43] So I hope that the Senate is paying attention to their constituents while they're home and that they take this back up when they get back to D.C. It's far more important than many of the other things that they have worked on this year or haven't worked on, as the case may be. OK, let's shift gears slightly away from votes on Capitol Hill to votes at the ballot box. Robert, you've been a candidate.

[00:18:11] So this one is for you. When you when you were on the ballot, how important, especially in Georgia, because you were on the ballot in Georgia, I think, in both Fulton County and DeKalb counties. What what why is it important to have poll watchers and also poll workers? Well, it was quite a combo with both of those counties in the most heavily Democrat counties in the entire state. And two of the largest as well, with Fulton having millions upon millions of people.

[00:18:40] You have to watch the integrity of the vote and what's happening there the day of. We saw in Arizona, for example, how those red ruby red districts went down those machines and also ballot paper issues in 2022 and 2024. And right here, of course, we saw what happened in 2020 in the Peach State.

[00:19:02] So having those watchers and workers truly bring the integrity of the vote right there in real time, both on the Republican and Democrat side. And then also for those of the watchers, the workers themselves are administering the elections, making sure people are registered, checking that ID right here in Georgia and making sure that you're able to have really a flawless experience.

[00:19:28] And a pleasant experience, mind you, as you go in to make your vote happen. So both roles are essential to democracy. And that's why we are recruiting and calling out everyone possible to get involved in this. And of course, you want at least double the amount of precincts in your county. So down here in Georgia, they do that by county. So in Fulton, you need 300, 400 people really to be poll working and poll watching.

[00:19:55] And of course, that makes a massive difference for election integrity and the impact of the vote. Yeah, you're exactly right. And that's why our assignment for the week is to make sure that people take time now to sign up to be a poll watcher or a poll worker. Election Day is only 64 days from today. And our call to action this week is the same as last week. And it is to sign up to be a poll watcher or poll worker. And remember, there's a difference between the two.

[00:20:25] The poll worker actually runs the precinct. It's usually a job that is paid for by the local government running the election. It requires training from that local government. And it's the one we want people to sign up for first. It's the most important of the two positions. And also, the deadline to become a poll worker usually happens much earlier than a poll watcher deadline does.

[00:20:50] So what you can do is go to helpatthepolls.com and you can sign up. What you're going to need to do when you sign up is you'll have to call your local board of elections and tell them you want to work the polls and ask them how to apply further. And then if you sign up to be a poll watcher, that's the one who observes the polls. You're not running the precinct, but you are watching what happens. So you're a witness to what happens.

[00:21:17] Normally for that, you have to be appointed through your local political party. So if you're Republican, you'd call your local Republican county party or county committee. And if you're a Democrat, you'd call the local Democratic party or the Democratic central committee. Whatever they call it where you live, you'd call your local county party. And tell them you want to be a poll watcher and ask them what kind of training they need you to do

[00:21:44] so that they can have you be appointed to be one. So again, go to helpatthepolls.com and we'll get you all the directions that you need once you sign up there and we'll help you all the way through. And again, it's helpatthepolls.com. All right, before we go on, we're going to take a short break. But before we do, if you find this hour useful, go ahead and hit like and subscribe. It really helps us get around the mainstream media spin and to reach more people who care about the Constitution

[00:22:14] and the constitutional take on our issues. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. You are the grassroots of America. You love this country. When you love something, really love it, the news doesn't just inform you. It fires you up and you find yourself asking, how can I make a difference? That is exactly what this show is built to answer. Never, ever, ever, ever give up. We owe it to every American who has ever voted to make America great again.

[00:22:44] We owe it to our future selves. We owe it to this republic to stand tall, to stay active, and to be smart about how we spend our energy so that we can win. Here on the Jenny Beth Show, we're going to help you do exactly that. Every show, we will break down the news, connect it to first principles, and give you specific, effective ways to take action. Not just outreach, action. And I am so glad you're here on this journey with us to do it. So let's get to it.

[00:23:13] Welcome to the Jenny Beth Show. Welcome back. Dwayne, I've got a couple of questions for you. There are now two self-described socialists who are major party nominees for the United States Senate. Abdul El-Sayed took the Democratic nomination in Michigan. And in Oklahoma, Nikaila Jasmine Thomas won the Democratic runoff on August 25th, just last week, with 58 percent of the vote.

[00:23:42] She faces Congressman Kevin Hearn in November. Is what we're seeing right now with the Democratic Socialists of America new, or does it just look new to the rest of the country? I think it's a combination of both. I think that we're going from normal crazy to insane asylum crazy when it comes to policies. These individuals are people who are usually not very accomplished in life, to say the least,

[00:24:12] such as AOC being a bartender. Nothing against bartenders, but you should be able to pass a at least elementary level civics exam to be able to serve in government, which a lot of these people don't or can't. And what we're seeing is they're cannibalizing the Democrat, the Democratic Party right now. And they're passing or advocating for policies that are absolutely extreme. And this is an existential threat to the country.

[00:24:41] We should not take this lightly. If we know the history of what happened in the Soviet Union, if we know the history of what happened in places like North Korea, these individuals want to destroy the country. They're talking about demolishing the Senate, getting rid of the presidency, spending money on craziness, opening our borders. They don't believe that Americans, the people that fought and died for this country, people who have generationally built this nation should have a right to be here.

[00:25:11] And actually, we're the enemy of state. So we need to be very serious in taking this threat on. This is not the normal Chuck Schumer crazy where it's just about taxes and government spending. These people want to destroy our nation, and we need to take this very seriously. And I also have to put the onus on Republicans. We have to do a lot better with messaging. We have to give an empathetic argument as to why their policies are harmful,

[00:25:37] where they're winning is on the empathy argument of always making it seem like they care about people, knowing that they really don't care about anybody but themselves. So Republicans have to do a lot better job of getting in this fight and making the argument very clear that these people are crazy. They're here to destroy our country. They think home ownership is a tool of white supremacy. They want to steal the American dream from Americans so they can have it for themselves. I want to follow up on something that you just said, Dwayne.

[00:26:06] I agree that we've got to be better at messaging. So anything more you want to say about that, I'd love to hear. But also you just talked about how these candidates from the DSA are cannibalizing the Democratic Party. And I agree with that. And also that they are an existential threat to the country. That I completely agree with.

[00:26:28] But it's something that I don't think that at least I'm not hearing a lot of that coming through on social media or on the news. When I flip on the news at night, we're seeing all the crazy. But they're not highlighting that threat to the country the way that you just did. And you talked about North Korea, the Soviet Union, I think, China. How can we take that threat and also incorporate it into the messaging that you just mentioned?

[00:26:57] Well, I think, one, we've surrendered too many of our school systems to the Democrats to where we're not teaching history properly. It's more about propaganda, about the West being evil, to where people think that voting from someone from Egypt or Turkey is going to, you know, they're superior to Americans because we had slavery, not knowing that a lot of these places still have slavery today and they're mutilating children, even marrying children. So we need to actually give history lessons now since our elections are global.

[00:27:26] It's not just about American citizens. We have a mayor in New York that's from Uganda. We need to show Americans what goes on in the other way, other parts of the world and why we're superior to them. I also think when it comes to making the argument more prudent, we need to talk about the emotions of of what does high taxes do to the average citizen? It raises prices for everybody. They make the argument of the rich need to pay more, the rich need to pay more. Well, guess what? When you raise taxes on businesses, they pass it to consumers.

[00:27:56] A lot of places right now, such as the energy costs in New York, I believe about like 20 or 30 percent of the cost that you're paying doesn't even go to actually the energy company. It goes to all these administrative fees and taxes and nonsense that they add on. These are things that really hurt people. And as conservatives, we believe in your ability to own the American dream yourself. Right. It's not about living off the government and waiting on a check. It's about you building your dream. This is why people come here.

[00:28:24] And these people don't believe in your ability to do it independently. They actually think that you're dumb. They think that you can't accomplish anything on your own. They think that you can't build anything. And it's better to take other people's money, which is stealing, as opposed to working for it on your own. And if I could say that as a heritage American whose family has been here since the American Revolution, starting from slavery, being able to have a family that owns a business, is being able to succeed in capitalism and have generations that do it, have been able to do it. The American dream is alive and well.

[00:28:52] But if we don't make that argument to people, it will be taken from us, just like it was in China, just as it was around the world. And the Americans that fought for this dream will become slaves to the people that we imported. I love what you just said there, and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for elaborating on that. Let's talk about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from an AOC.

[00:29:16] She's from your home state, and she recently re-upped her Democratic Socialist of America dues. The DSA made a big deal about it, put out a statement saying she's a member in good standing. They're having a lot of controversy right now, it seems like, nationally at the DSA over AOC, whether they and how much political sway they want her to have over the party.

[00:29:43] But what do you think of what AOC is doing right now and re-upping her dues? Do you think she's trying to position herself to run for president? Do you just do you think she's one of the new leaders of the Democratic Party right now? Even she is trying to distance herself from some of the things she had said previously, that the Democrat Socialists of America are out basically shouting from the rooftop right now.

[00:30:13] Yeah, well, AOC is a classic example of a politician that lacks integrity because she doesn't have any authentic ideas of her own. She doesn't know where to run. She needs the support of the DSA because that's the group that propped her up. But she also knows that politically it's a loser because most people actually want to hone their homes. They don't think that 70 percent of their income just because you're successful should go to the government. And they don't like people like Hassan Piker that said that we deserve 9-11.

[00:30:39] It's OK if women are sexually assaulted, if they're Israeli and all the horrific things that he said, because he's a despicable human being. This is what they've tied themselves to. And, you know, when you have integrity, you're actually going to stand on your morals, whether people like it or not and say, this is what I believe. She can't do that because she doesn't actually believe the things that she says. She's just someone that's interested in political power. She was very unsuccessful when she graduated college. She was a bartender.

[00:31:06] Now she's wealthier than ever on government dime because she's gotten the attention. And this is, you know, she's at the crossroads. And honestly, I think the DSA is ready to kick her to the side because she's not as loony as they would like her to be. You remember, she kind of bowed down to Nancy Pelosi a bit when they kind of had their duel. And she learned that she wasn't the kingmaker at that time. And they realized that, hey, she could be a political pawn as well. So she's doing some soul searching. Hopefully she runs for president. I think that would be great for conservatives, bad for the country.

[00:31:36] But hey, she has hopefully she gets some integrity. Yeah, I think that if she had maintained her, well, if she'd had integrity, they probably wouldn't be trying to distance themselves so much from her right now. But when she's trying to distance herself from them, they're like, yeah, I don't know if you really deserve our support anymore. And that part really is just human nature. If you don't trust someone, it's hard to want to support them.

[00:32:03] And and it makes it it makes it it makes it hard for everyone to trust AOC, at least when you know where she stands, you know where she stands. But when she's waffling and wishy washy and going back and forth, it winds up making no one on either side wind up trusting him. Yeah. And I could just say this is why people respect Bernie Sanders, because we know that he believes in his crazy ideas. And I can respect someone that is standing 10 toes down and they're crazy as opposed to they're just going whichever way the wind blows them.

[00:32:33] Yeah, I think that that's a fair point. I think his ideas are absolutely crazy. At least he he has the courage to stand by them. At least he has the courage of his convictions. Robert, the Democratic Socialists of America's platform undermines our constitutional government. We've got some of it on on the screen. They're right there. They're fighting for thriving working class communities, which this kind of goes to what Dwayne was just saying, talking about the things they want to do in empathetic terms.

[00:33:04] Health care for all, housing for all, finishing reconstruction in mass incarceration and police immunity. They they go through and they talk about all of this, but they also want to abolish ICE. They want to side with Palestine over Israel. They want to abolish the police. They want to abolish prisons. They want to abolish the Senate. It all of it. We're scrolling through some some of it right now on the screen.

[00:33:34] They are just they are very, very, very extreme and they want to undermine our constitutional government. So, Robert, what is your take on the platform from the Democratic Socialists of America? You know, not to mention destroying the nuclear family and what they tried to attempt during the BLM riots and stacking the courts, something they wanted to do all the way back to FDR.

[00:33:58] Well, they're really trying, Jenny Beth, to find a voice to lead them, because to Dwayne's point, it's AOCs in this identity crisis. You have Mom Donnie, who's not successful at governing New York City. It's been really a deplorable tenure. And then you have Kathy Hochul, who cannot put a sentence together, to J.B. Pritzker, who is completely corrupt.

[00:34:20] And then Gavin Newsom out in California, who has just created a worse situation on Skid Row to let alone no middle class in California because it's not affordable. He has blown up the budgets there. And then it's Pete Buttigieg in Michigan down to John Ossoff right here in Georgia, who are smooth talkers. But they're endorsing all of this crazy lunatic left agenda from the DSA.

[00:34:47] There's one brave voice out there, and I can't believe I'm saying it. Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who just yesterday goes on Fox News and says, if you don't want to run in the Democrat primary, go create your own party, because this is not what a Democrat stands up for. And this is a hard union labor guy who ruled from the city of broad shoulders with all of his different connections with, you know, that backdoor room kind of deals that were going on.

[00:35:15] And I can't believe that he's speaking common sense to this, what seems to be the power lane in the modern Democrat Party. Yeah, I don't trust Rahm Emanuel as far as I can throw. Me neither. I mean, I saw him in action back in the day and this guy not to be trusted, but sounding like a Republican. He's sounding like a Republican because he and other Democrats understand that what they're hearing from the Democrat socialists is not mainstream America.

[00:35:41] It is crazy, like what Dwayne was just saying. And it it is it's not going to resonate. There are going to be some places where they will pick up, maybe not pick up. Well, the Democrat socialists of America will pick up a seat because they've challenged a Democrat in a primary that is so gerrymandered. A Democrat is going to win no matter what.

[00:36:07] But when it comes to statewide offices, it doesn't work with with the the when you get into a place where you've got middle of the road voters. And I don't think it's going to work in Oklahoma. I hope it doesn't work in Michigan. But Dwayne, here's one thing that I their platform is just shocking.

[00:36:29] It is an alarming platform when you go through and read it because they want to dismantle so much of American society. They also are doing this in a way where they're they are talking about the problems that many people in this country are worried about. They're worried about how they're going to be able to pay for health care. They're worried about where they're going to live. They're worried about the costs, the rising costs of of gas and goods.

[00:36:55] And they're trying to find a way that they're using those concerns that people legitimately have because we've come out of covid lockdowns and four years of inflation with Biden. And they're taking it and applying solutions that are going to make the problems a thousand times worse. What do you what do you think of their platform and also their ability to message to their own base? Yes, I will say as a Christian there. They are the godless population.

[00:37:23] They believe that the government is God and that they can control all outcomes. And this is, I think, the issue when we turn out back on God and we become a very secular society to where we don't know what good and evil is. I think that one thing that they do very well is they play on emotions. Zoran Mamdani does that. And he also controls the narrative on social media. It's where we have people, you know, oh, you know, Zoran Mamdani is mayor. This is why the next one or oh, you know, he's out riding his bike.

[00:37:53] He cares about people. They play to the emotions of Americans because they speak to issues that, quite frankly, Republicans don't message well enough on. As I said, cost of living New York versus Florida. That's a case study. New York is has a budget that's double the size of Florida, even though Florida has a larger population. Where is it more affordable to buy a home? Florida. Nobody can afford anything in New York. The facts are there, but we're not messaging it.

[00:38:20] And when you don't message something or in too many places in the country when we're not even running, they get to carry the mantle. Right. Nobody wins the race that they don't start. And unfortunately, Republicans, they think that Americans should just know better. And, oh, you know, this is crazy. But if you're not actually explaining to people, just as I did as a teacher, you go to the chalkboard and you explain A through Z, you lose people.

[00:38:44] And truthfully, you know, the argument of, you know, handing out free things like candy sounds appealing to people, especially people who don't have skills. So we need to also say what we're willing to invest in. We're wanting to invest in jobs. We want to invest in proper education. We want to invest in job training. Right. The reason that Donald Trump, President Trump put out a lot of these tariffs is to bring manufacturing jobs back. Why? Because these are middle class jobs that people need.

[00:39:10] Most of our country has been completely destroyed by the lack of manufacturing and what we shipped abroad. But again, if we don't appeal to the emotions of Americans, the DSA will and we'll keep seeing these tentacles run deeper into our country until it completely destroys us. Yeah, I think that you're right about that. And one thing that when you were just talking about going back to the blackboard and explaining things to people and the Republicans oftentimes just think you need to understand it.

[00:39:39] I, I, I've said this before on, on the show here, I, we can't go back and turn back time. So we, all that we can do is learn from, from what we've done in the past. In 2024, we talked about inflation and how President Trump was going to address inflation and he has been addressing inflation.

[00:39:59] And it, it is, it has become more steady and it's depending on the month coming down a little, but it's, it's not skyrocketing up. That's the, the important thing. It's not going in the same trajectory that it was back in 2024.

[00:40:17] With that said, I think a lot of people thought, okay, he's going to come in and magically all of the prices are going to go back to 2019, early January, February, 2020 prices. And that's not how it, it could ever work. The way he's trying to address it is by bringing those manufacturing jobs back to America, bringing more jobs, getting countries to come and invest here so that we can have more jobs, more opportunity here. So people can go to work.

[00:40:47] They can provide for themselves, provide for their family and hopefully get raises on top of what they're already making so that they're able to absorb the increase in price. It takes a little bit of time to do that. And it's hard to explain that to people, but it's something that somehow more eloquently than the way I just described it. I think we've got to let people understand the manufacturing jobs. That's part, partly to address the affordability that you're worried about.

[00:41:16] And you're welcome to chime in either one of you on that. And I would also add the impact of mass immigration that we've had since the sixties. We talk about a housing shortage, but Democrats' solution is to replace the American people and bring in millions of more people that need housing, that need food. We look at government spending. The federal spending in 2000 was about $1.7 trillion. Now in 2026, it's well over $7 trillion. What are the Americans getting from that?

[00:41:44] We're literally bankrupting ourselves, giving the world everything. You could come here, take American jobs. You could come here and be successful while we send our manufacturing to other places. We have to get back to a place of worrying about the average American. And right now, under President Donald J. Trump, we are doing that, but we also have to connect the emotions to that. Those manufacturing jobs are going to take a while to come back. Right now, due to the conflict in Iran, we're seeing an impact on energy prices, which also will impact inflation.

[00:42:14] But guess what? We don't want to have a crazy actor with a nuclear weapon. So that needs to also be communicated. Lowering taxes on the average citizen, saying that, listen, if you make $80,000 and you're successful and you work hard, you make $120,000, I don't want to steal any more money from you because you worked and you deserve it and you earn it. Right? It's better to earn something than to have anyone just give it to you. And that is the conservative way. So I think that our policies are by far superior.

[00:42:44] Right now, I think there's a messaging gap. And I think we've started to see that shift. I think someone like future Governor Byron Donald is doing that. We're starting to see it across the races in this country. But I think we need to bring that message down ballot to the people locally. I agree with that. And, Robert, do you want to chime in on any of that before we take a quick break? Well, to add to it as well, the waste, fraud and abuse. If we get rid of that, we live like kings.

[00:43:11] It's been so exposed to us on top of all the great plans Duane mentioned. And let's take a laser focus into the southeast like Byron Donaldson, the amazing governor he will be in the Sunshine State. Right here, our very own political outsider, Rick Jackson, running for governor of Georgia, has pledged he is getting rid of the state income tax. That is going to prop up more competition.

[00:43:35] Of course, more businesses will want to come here to the Peach State because if you look regionally, Tennessee and Florida, they don't have it. So they edge us out just a bit when it comes to that. And he said, if I do not get that done with the General Assembly, I can promise you right now I'll be a one-term governor and I'll let myself out the door. And I trust him with all of his business knowledge and his amazing story and background. As I'm sure many of the viewers now know, he came from the foster home, now running for governor of Georgia.

[00:44:03] An amazing story and talk about health care people, voters on both sides. They want to talk about those skyrocketing costs from the waste, fraud and abuse and just the lobbyists that take over Washington, D.C. You have a guy like Rick Jackson diving in who's an expert at that. So there's a lot of stuff to brag about on the Republican side.

[00:44:22] And I think we can learn from some of the candidates who are out there right now what messaging is working for them so that we can take that messaging and use it to talk to our circles of influence, whether it's our friends, our family, our coworkers, the people who we're interacting with on a day-to-day basis.

[00:44:40] We all have to be messengers for what we care about and to advocate for not just the principles that we care about, but to advocate for our country so that we can work to save it and prevent these people who want to basically dismantle our constitutional republic from having the opportunity to do so. All right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back to talk a little bit more about DSA.

[00:45:34] Welcome back. All right. So we've talked about Democratic socialists in New York and in Oklahoma. Let's move over to Michigan. Dwayne, on Saturday in Lansing, Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus. This is about what he said after the March 12th attack on Temple Israel, which the Federal Bureau of Investigation called a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism. He had said violence is a cycle and that hurt people hurt people.

[00:46:04] Here's his apology. He said, what I was trying to do was offer context for why it happened, but it wasn't the time for context. And you don't ever want to trample on somebody's pain. Dwayne, do you think that that apology settles it? Is it really even an apology there? No, it's not apology. And this makes the question of whether he's practicing taqiyah and he's lying just to advance his own interest. He didn't feel sorry about it when he said it.

[00:46:32] And now because he wants to win an election, now all of a sudden he's apologetic. And we have to talk about these liberal outlets that are now having him on to paint him as this great empathetic person. When he's running around again with Hassan Piker, who is a despicable person, who said that the rapes of the woman in October 7th doesn't really matter. America deserves 9-11. He hates America and all the other horrendous things. One needs the question of why we even let certain people like this into our country to begin with.

[00:47:01] People who hate our way of life. And another question is if his policies were so successful, why didn't they work in Egypt? Egypt still has over 500,000 slaves based on the United Nations reporting. Their economy is so much less successful than the United States. A lot of these people who are coming from abroad, like himself and Mamdani, have these great ideas that for some reason don't work in their own countries.

[00:47:26] So we need to, as I say, these elections in America now are not just American citizens or not just from, you know, homegrown Americans. They're global elections now. People know from abroad that they could send their people over as anchor babies, just like Hassan Piker. And if you want to destroy America, make sure that they get into every political office across the country to basically control us.

[00:47:49] And if you see what some of the imams are saying that are supportive of him, I mean, Hamas celebrated when he became the nominee. Knowing that Hamas celebrates should even be anywhere close to getting elected in an American election. Nonetheless, they shouldn't even be in our country. So we need to take this very seriously. We need to learn from the history of Lebanon. We need to learn from the history of the entire Middle East, where Christian nations were completely destroyed and taken over, to see that it happened there and it could happen here.

[00:48:16] Again, these people, this is an existential threat, and I hold no shame in calling it out. And you call it out very, very well. So speaking of Hassan Piker, let's take a look at what Congresswoman Debbie Dingell said over the weekend or late last week when she was questioned. And remember, she is a sitting Democratic congresswoman. I am done. So don't any reporter ask me again about Hassan Piker. It's not what November is about.

[00:48:47] And we have El Saeed, who told the media over the weekend that he is not going to be and has no plans to campaign with Piker. Yet he actively campaigned with Piker during the primary. So, Robert, can he write off Piker for the general? And they can all now avoid questions about Piker? No questions about him are allowed now in the state of Michigan. They seem to want to sweep it under the rug, Jenny Beth.

[00:49:17] And I'm just getting a real kick out of someone who allegedly went to medical school but doesn't know the difference between circumcision and castration. And again, in an odd way, seem to insult our Jewish brothers and sisters in that ancient religious practice. And now a very practical practice in so many ways, medically speaking, as it was thousands of years ago. But also trying to compare Sharia law to canon law. I mean, this guy really is turning off Michiganders.

[00:49:45] And I hope Abdul across the country is really alerting those who could be elected into our very own government offices. Not to mention even Angie Nixon running in Florida who wants to abolish the United States Senate. It's like the hypocrisy keeps growing and growing with these DSA far left candidates.

[00:50:08] But the concern, as we mentioned earlier on the show, their electorate, their base is geared up and priming them for these moments to take on general election roles. And God forbid any of them win. But I'm just so confused as what Abdul truly wants. And I think he'd be very scary in the United States Senate. And if I could just say we need to start using the language of the left. They are colonizing America. This is a modern colonization via mass immigration.

[00:50:37] And our adversaries love the DSA. Why? Because they know it makes us weaker. We didn't become a superpower overnight by these crazy policies. We became a superpower, A, by praising and praying to God and then allowing God to bless us with the talents to create a beautiful nation that had open markets and freedom where women are able to walk free at night. What we're seeing is our society is changing to be like the world as opposed to the world be like us. I don't want my country to be like someone from Egypt.

[00:51:07] I don't want my country to be Palestinian. I want my country to be the Western civilization, the American dream that my ancestors died for. And these people are out to change us. This is a five alarm fire. We've never had threats at this level in the United States. We fought communists abroad, but we never thought that they would be in our elections right now, telling us from our face that America is inferior and we need to vote these people from abroad that can't even fix their own country. But somehow they know everything about fixing America.

[00:51:35] We need to make sure that these people not only lose this election, but we rid them from any type of political arena in this country completely. Yeah, I think that you're exactly right about that. And it makes what Robert said a little while ago about Rahm Emanuel even more important. I said I don't trust him as far as I can throw him and I don't.

[00:51:56] But if I can, I always have maintained the attitude that you find where you can agree with people on the issues where you can agree with them and disagree on everything else. And if he and I can both agree that what the Democratic Socialists of America are suggesting needs to happen in this country right now is wrong for America, then we should give him credit as Robert did earlier. And we need to be standing by him.

[00:52:22] This should not be it actually, Dwayne, what you're saying makes me think it should not be a partisan. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. This is wrong for America. They want to completely dismantle our society. They want to replace it with something that won't look anything at all like it. It will destabilize the entire world if that happens. We'll go into, we can't even imagine what a world will look like.

[00:52:50] The dystopian novels that we've all seen and read over the years will pale in comparison to what would happen if America actually falls to communism. It's the worst possible thing I can even imagine. So I think that you are both right in what you have been mentioning today. And I agree with that. The socialists, they're really communists. They've got a conference this weekend in Chicago in your old hometown, Robert.

[00:53:20] And Hassan Piker is going to be there. So while in Michigan, they're trying to distance themselves away from him, he's going to be headlining the conference. And he's got two different panels that he's featured on. One is called A Program for a Future Beyond Capitalism. And then another one, Left Insurgents and Liberal Exhaustion, Consolidating Power from the Bottom.

[00:53:46] I think that they think that they are winning and they are on the rise. And I think that the things that both of you have been saying today are things we need to be paying attention to and making sure that we are able to go back and champion what is good about our country. And I think we need to pay attention to what happens at this conference this weekend. Dwayne, do you have any thoughts on this particular conference and the fact that they are continuing to organize?

[00:54:15] They're not giving up. They think that they are gaining power and going to be able to consolidate it. Yeah. Again, I think this is also reflective of the end times in the Bible where we turn our background guide and we kind of see the consequences of it because these are people who are either very godless or they're secular or they're following false prophets and they're commanded to kind of do what they do. And then also we have the question of how did we get here?

[00:54:39] This is because a lot of these universities are supposed to be training the future elite, which I had experienced because I was a former liberal at one point. You're just being pumped up with indoctrination and nonsense about how you can't do this. White people are racist. You know, the United States is a horrible place. And this is why a lot of them are people who are public. They have no careers. They haven't done it. They're college graduates. And they think that they're doing the moral thing.

[00:55:09] They think that it's right. And this will lead to the decline of the West. We're already seeing it in the UK and all over Europe. They had 250,000 women that were young girls that were sexually assaulted and raped and trafficked around the UK. And no one did anything. Right. And this is the same type of people, Hassan Piker, to say, hey, this doesn't matter when it happens to women. Our society, I think, is worth fighting for. Our country is worth fighting for. And these people are relentless.

[00:55:39] They're well-funded, not only by domestic actors, but international actors. And we need to cut off their money. We need to get back into the debates, as Charlie Kirk did. We need to engage them so that people actually know we have ideas. And we need to not let any crazy idea, any Hassan Piker-like figure go unanswered. We need to all get involved in this fight or else our children will not have a country anymore. You are so right about that.

[00:56:09] And that's why we're doing this show and why we have to make sure we are equipping the activists who tune into this show regularly with the information they need so that they can get in that fight in their local area. I want to do one more topic, and we'll make it a rapid-fire topic because we only have just a minute or two left.

[00:56:29] But over the weekend, the DSA national co-chair went on CNN to defend the organization's statement calling Fidel Castro, in their words, an organizer, a fighter, and endures as a stalwart of symbolism of an anti-imperialistic struggle. I'm choking over those words there. The anchor who is asking the questions is Boris Sanchez.

[00:56:55] His grandfather was sentenced to 20 years in prison by dictator Fidel Castro. That's exactly who this man who's defending Castro is speaking to. Let's look at this clip really quickly. Last week, the DSA commemorated 100 years of Fidel Castro with a statement describing him as an organizer and a fighter. How do you think that plays with Florida voters? I think you're seeing the results.

[00:57:22] You're seeing that play out in these elections where our candidates are campaigning on addressing the cost-of-living crises that so many people are struggling with in the U.S. I hear your message discipline on affordability. I do wonder whether you understand why a statement like that lauding Fidel Castro may not just turn people off from your platform, but offends people who suffered for decades under his dictatorship. I made a mistake.

[00:57:50] I said it was last this past weekend, but it was August 19th when that aired. Robert, your take on it, and then we'll go to Dwayne and make it kind of fast because we're near the end of the show. Senator Ashley Moody has her campaign ad right there. It's coming from the Clinton News Network. And the proof is right in the pudding. And really, well, Cuban-Americans put up with this. So many of them in Miami now have fled this communism. We've talked to great ones who love liberty. I think this is a losing method for their side.

[00:58:20] And Dwayne? Yeah, you know, I look in his eyes and I kind of question if there's an absence of a soul there. To know the history of Cuba and how many people died for their freedom. And if he thinks Cuba is the great example, go live there. If you think Iran is a great example, go live there. We're going to protect our country. Our country is worth defending. We're not going to let any of these lunatics, even if they win, destroy our way of life. We have our multiple amendments that protect our way of our civilization.

[00:58:46] And we will never spare one inch of this nation to any crazy dictator. You've got that right. We are Americans for America. And we've got to stand up for America. Dwayne, before I thank you very quickly, where do you go to get your information? And you've talked a lot about history and needing to go back and look at history. Where would you recommend people go to learn more about history? Yes. One, I love the Daily Wire.

[00:59:14] They do some great documentaries, Matt Walsh, to just show you some of the contrast. Going back into actually some of these history books that they don't necessarily talk about. For me, from the college world, you can go back and actually make sure it's primary resources. But go and actually see what happened in these countries. It's a quick Google search to see, hey, what happened to the USSR? What happened to North Korea? How did we get there? What happened to most of the Christian civilization in the Middle East?

[00:59:43] How did it go from Christian to Islam? Why is it that there was 40 Muslim nations at one point? Now it's over 50. We need to have those real conversations, Google search, documentaries, reading history books, all of the above. Very good. And then tell people how they can get in touch with you or not get in touch with you, but how they can follow your work. Yes. So you can see me on Newsmax. I'll actually be on tomorrow from 9 to 12 and 2 to 4.

[01:00:11] And I'm not the biggest social media person, but you can find me on Instagram at America Deserves More. Thank you so much for joining me today, Dwayne. I'm really glad to have you on. I hope I can have you back again soon. Yes, please. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure. And Robert, as always, thank you for joining me as well. Oh, thank you, J Beth. I enjoyed the conversation. Okay. So here's our call to action one more time. Remember, make sure this week you are signing up to be a poll worker or a poll watcher. You, you, we need poll workers first.
