Sam
All right, eight o'. Clock. Brand new week. Welcome on in real America's Voice, live from Studio 6B, 8pm on the East Coast, September 15th. Glad you're in. Look at the full panels here. We got an exciting night, special guest, but let me go here to my left. Mr. Paul Nolan's here. He's gonna do the news. Mr. Nolan, how are you?
Paul Nolan
I am well, my friend. I'm excited for a new week.
Sam
How was your weekend?
Paul Nolan
It was very nice Sunday. You know what I did?
Sam
What? Watch the Giants.
Paul Nolan
Like, basically what you and you and Vin do. Everything.
Sam
They'll slick out of jail.
Slick
Watching that in the sixth.
Paul Nolan
Preside lounged around the house.
Sam
Okay, good.
Paul Nolan
It did nothing, Nada.
Sam
All right.
Paul Nolan
Guts.
Sam
Very good, Slickster. I know what you're doing on Sunday. You were sweating it and that was a rough week out. How are you?
Slick
I'm doing good, Big D. I tell you, I would have had to take off, I think, until you leave on, what, Wednesday night. I was going to be sick for two days at least because I could not come and face you if they lost.
Sam
After what you said. After. After what you said in the chat to me before the game started.
Slick
Exactly.
Sam
That's right. So, Rick, though Slick's gonna do sports, of course. Sponsored by our friend Mike Lindell. And my pillow. Rick Delgado's here. He's going to do the news. Mrs. Delgado, how are you?
Rick Delgado
I am good.
Sam
How was your weekend?
Rick Delgado
Do you really want to know? Because it was awesome.
Sam
Oh, okay, good.
Rick Delgado
The weather was awesome, so I got to be on my bike as much as possible. So that was awesome.
Sam
How many miles did you ride?
Rick Delgado
About 100. And then my mom is doing good for she's bouncing back quickly from her eye surgery. So that's good. That's awesome.
Sam
Good for her.
Rick Delgado
I detached from social media for the most part. For the most part. So that was awesome.
Sam
That was good.
Rick Delgado
And then I discovered that I'm on the right side. All the nonsense we saw in the past week, I can honestly say, despite what some people out there might not like when I use certain words, which is fine. That's your opinion. That's fine. I still find myself on the right side of history. So I'm good.
Sam
Okay. Very good. We'll get into that. I'm sure. Please. Aaron and Fran holding it down as they always do here on a Monday. But please welcome our special guest here joining us for the first part of the show. And he can stay as long as he wants to stay. He is the chairman of The Suffolk County GOP, Mr. Jesse Garcia, Friend of the show returns. Mr. Jesse Garcia, how are you? Good to be here.
Jesse Garcia
Thanks so much for having me. Despite who kicks a 64 year, 64 yard field goal.
Sam
Crazy.
Rick Delgado
What, What?
Jesse Garcia
What is that?
Slick
Brandon Aubrey, the best in the business.
Sam
We had a separate chess.
Paul Nolan
Not enough for a 64 yard or two. It was like they knew they had.
Sam
It in the bag.
Jesse Garcia
Stadium. It's got this little small opening.
Rick Delgado
They had the air conditioning all blow.
Sam
Yeah, yeah. Clearly in the back.
Slick
Whatever help we can get.
Jesse Garcia
We'll take 150 yards. We throw an interception in the last play.
Sam
That's, you know, Jesse asked to move his seat because we moved the helmet. We moved it.
Jesse Garcia
We actually moved it.
Sam
There we go. Good, good, good, good.
Jesse Garcia
I have enough pain. I'm a giant.
Sam
Yeah. It's going to be a rough year in New York, I think. But what else? That might be an understatement. Well, let's get serious. It is. It's great to have you here, Jesse. We love having you on you. It's been a little bit. I said to you in the, in the kitchen that last week felt like about three months.
Jesse Garcia
Really did for.
Sam
For five, you know, seven days. Starting with the arena. It was an arena, I think. Arena.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Sam
On the North Carolina train. Then obviously 9 11. And then of course, well, it'd be before 9 11, obviously. Charlie Kirk and what we saw there. So I was going to start with the Newsday character that they had to put up and apologize for. I mean it just so stunningly despicable.
Jesse Garcia
Unbelievable.
Sam
But I guess give me your thoughts on everything we saw last week before we get to Newsday.
Jesse Garcia
It's one of those very difficult weeks. I mean, if you look at it, you know, from, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Then Thursday with 9 11, it's one of those tough weeks. As you said it, it felt like three months, you know, but this, you know, we're a great nation of people, and I know that maybe we may go down on Ben Knee for a moment, but we will stand right back up. And, you know, it just demonstrates that there's still a lot of work to be done. There's still a lot of unity that needs come forward. I think a lot of Democrats at the national, state and local level have to get their act together and that we are a country and a nation first of Americans, before we have our party labels, and we just need to move forward. Unfortunately, it just demonstrates that we're on the right track. And thank God we have the elected officials that we do in Washington, here, locally, in Suffolk county and such and Long island and in parts of our country, because this type of activity just. We can't stand for this. And. And we're not going to stand for it. We're going to keep fighting to make sure that we, you know, make our community safer, we secure our communities, and we make everything more affordable so we can thrive with our families here.
Sam
Yeah, you think about where the country was, like on 9 12, 2001, you know, the day after and in those days, and then the Yankees came back to play and what everybody was feeling, you know, it was that feeling of what you just described. We're all Americans first before we. Before put a party label on it. Just. Just because I'm interested. Where were you on 9 11?
Jesse Garcia
9 11? I was actually on the day of. I was flying. I was on my way to LaGuardia with then Congressman Felix Gucci. I was his chief of staff. And we were on our way to LaGuardia to take a flight to D.C. ironically, we were on a flight the night before, but it was canceled. And as we were driving out there, the first tower was hit. I remember listening to don imus on 66. I was a big Don Amos fan. And he announced that they hit the first tower. So of course we contact the staff, reroute us, because we know the airspace is going to be taken out. So we're going to try and work something out out of MacArthur right here in ISIL, and then the second tower. And there was no, no, no doubt about it. This country was under attack. And we were in. We got locked down. We went. We mustered into congressman's office in Patch Rug. We started getting on the phone with our Washington D.C. office, the White House, the governor's office, the county executive's office here, making sure we could try and figure out what we could do, what we could answer. And unfortunately, that was one of the darkest days in our history. But we rose up. Like you said, September 12th. It was a sense of patriotism, a sense of unity, a sense of togetherness. There was an assault on all of us that we were not going to stand for. And we made sure. And I have to give Congressman Grucci a lot of credit. You know, everyone remembers him from being the fireworks king, but what he did in that time period to make sure that New York got its $20 billion to rebuild, that everything was needed for the rescue and recovery effort first, that it was there, that New York received it, that our first responders, our police got what they needed. That was first and foremost, it was working hand in hand with then Congressman Peter King. It was one mission, and that was secure America, secure New York, and then rebuild.
Sam
You know, on 9 11. I said last week that you had a obviously an outside of the country influence that tried to come here and attack us and silence us and try to change the way we live. And in some respects, I felt like last week what happened to Charlie Kirk was very similar, but just obviously from the inside of the country, they wanted to send a message of, you, you're going to just go shut up and not stop talking about this. And I think what you just said, I think is what we've seen over the last couple of days. The Kennedy center last night, the lines, the churches, the gatherings, the people are just not going to stand for an attack like this on all of America.
Jesse Garcia
They're not. And it is an attack on all of America. It's an attack on the first tenet of America, the first Amendment for right to free speech. That's what that was being attacked at that point. Unfortunately, Charlie Kirk was the victim of that. But I agree with his wonderful wife Erica. And, you know, our prayers and our thoughts go out to Erica and her two children and everyone associated with Turning Point. You know, when she stood in front of a national, international audience and said, you may have tried to snuff out one voice. You've created millions of voices. And that is what happened. Over the weekend. We had thousands of people in Nassau county having a vigil for Charlie Kirk. We are seeing people fighting back. We're not Going to accept the fact that it's okay to mock the political assassination of one of our fellow Americans because he was speaking his mind. And Charlie Kirk was a man of faith, he was man of country, he was man that loved America. And, and certainly he's trying to snuff that out. That's not going to happen. What he would that his unfortunate passing is going to lead to a movement that's going to get supercharged on steroids and no one's going to stop. And we're seeing that people being fired, people are not accepting that it's okay to mock, you know, the death of someone who was just speaking their mind in the best of ways. And a public discourse, public debate of ideas. You know, that's America. That's us, that's our neighbors across the fence.
Sam
Yeah. And we were talking amongst us on the show last week, one of the more. One of the just. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but it still was the level. And this brings me back to what Newsday did besides the Newsday thing that they had to retract and apologize for. But when you looked at the celebration that was going on, it wasn't just like what we would joke about. Pink haired, you know, liberal wackadoos making videos in their mom's basement. It was doctors, it was lawyers, it was anesthesiologists, it was administrators, it was teachers, it was, it was everyday Americans that we would, we would be in contact with on our kids, would be in contact with at all levels of not only government, but society and jobs and businesses. I mean, it was just stunning to see.
Jesse Garcia
It really was. And you know what that says to me is that the common sense Americans stood up and said, no, we're not going to have this. This was an attack on our family. This was an attack on our country. And we're not going to make fun of this, celebrate the murder of one of our Americans for political violence. To shut, to shut him up because we did not agree with him. That's not what America is about. We debate, we bring, we come together, we compromise, we work together for the whole. You know what? I credit those individuals that were in a position of authority that said, we're not going to have this. We're gonna, I don't want you to be part of our organization. You're not credible enough. You're not credible to teach our students to work in this medical institution or in any walk of life. You're just not there. We don't want to be associated with. And that's why we had to take this very strong stance with Newsday this past weekend.
Sam
Yeah. For those who maybe on the national level don't know, Newsday paper here in New York put up a cartoon, I believe it was the day after. And it showed the tent that Charlie was sitting under and it said prove me wrong on it, just like his did. And it showed an empty chair and the banner that was hand behind the chair showed a splatter of blood. And this is what they printed in the paper.
Paul Nolan
It was repugnant.
Slick
Totally.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Paul Nolan
I mean, there was really no way I actually called Newsday and tried to, I mean, four times I dialed to try to get somebody on to complain. It was repugnant. This is a liberal rag New York paper. It's a disgrace to call a journalistic source anymore. It's, it's, it's a rag. And it was that also now part of the Altis family that when either way it was, it's, it's a disaster.
Sam
But it highlighted that the kind of those broader issues that conservatives and J.D. vance spoke to this today, I don't know if you happen to see. He hosted the Charlie Kirk show from the White House. And I, I've pulled his intro and his outro as clips tonight. And in his outro, it's a little long, it's like 13 minutes. But I have to tell you, it is, it's one of the finest speeches I've heard in really talking about where the conservative Party, where we have to be as conservatives, what we should be willing to engage like going forward and what we should not be willing to tolerate. And I'm gonna, I'll play it tonight. It's pretty powerful, but we shouldn't have.
Jesse Garcia
To tolerate that type of journalism or publication or celebration. So just to give you some background.
Sam
Yeah, let's, let's hit the break, then we'll come back, we'll talk more about Jesse. We got a lot more questions we'll get into. Well, what's going on in New York City, in the New York governor and who she endorsed to be the mayor of New York City. All of that when we get back, right after this. Live from Studio 6, Big Sam.
Mary Kathryn Ham
Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham.
Carol Markowitz
And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time, long enough to know that.
Mary Kathryn Ham
It'S gotten, well, a little insane.
Carol Markowitz
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
Mary Kathryn Ham
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country. Without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
Carol Markowitz
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
Mary Kathryn Ham
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people. Catch new episodes of normally every Tuesday.
Carol Markowitz
And Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you list.
Sam
All right, 17 past the hour live from Studio 6B on a Monday, Real America's Voice. Glad you're in. Brand new week getting started. Wherever you're watching, we appreciate it. And of course, we appreciate every night, 8 to 10, you've given us a couple hours of your weekday nights. Paul Nolan's here. He's going to get into some news. Slick will get into some sports. Delgado get into headlines. Aaron and Fran holding it down. But Jesse Garcia has joined us on set. We're so honored to have him. He's the chairman of the Suffolk County GOP right here at Suffolk County, Long Island. And you know, we, we always kind of joke because people talk about you guys in New York, gotta get out of New York. And sometimes I think people realize out here in Suffolk county. And of course, you're, you're a big response. You're, you're one of the big reasons this is the case. This, this is Trump country. This is, this is Republican conservative country out here in Suffolk County.
Jesse Garcia
Suffolk county used to be a purple county. And you know, by the work, the great work of thousands of committee members, outstanding candidates, and the voters finally giving us a trust to do what's right. We've been rewarded. I mean, we have six of six of ten towns are Republican. The county which once was had a district attorney that was DA was a Democrat, a comptroller that was the only Republican. And then the county executive and legislature, all in Democratic hands. All those are in Republican hands right now.
Sam
Yeah. I saw somebody joking that Long island should really be the 51st state separate.
Jesse Garcia
A lot of joking. I've been floating that and, and looking at that over the last couple.
Sam
Okay.
Jesse Garcia
Oh, yeah.
Sam
All right.
Jesse Garcia
Especially what's been happen lately that's getting.
Paul Nolan
Traction nowadays is that actually have a, have a chance. Could that be pushed? Because it would be nice.
Jesse Garcia
We will push it. In fact, we're working on a couple of different avenues to see what we can do to make ourselves a 51st state. But the problem is that we would have to have the ability for or the authority in part, if I'm not mistaken, from the state legislature. And there is no way they're going to the Democrats and All are going to let this ATM go anywhere or spend money on itself. So. But we're still going to do the fight, the good fight, because the only way we can do anything is by creating a grassroots groundswell of support where it basically shames the Democrats in control into doing what's right, whether it be term limits, the death penalty. We've done that a couple of times in Suffolk county in the state of New York. So if we can shame them enough and force them enough with our voices going up, they'll have no choice but to change.
Paul Nolan
Jesse, how do you shame the shameless?
Rick Delgado
That's true.
Jesse Garcia
That's true. By keep beating him at the ballot box.
Paul Nolan
That's it. That's it.
Sam
Let's talk about New York City. You put out a statement criticizing Governor Hochul's endorsement of Zoharan Mondavi, who the numbers tell us right now, looks like he's on an unbeatable path to be the next mayor of New York City. A literal communist.
Jesse Garcia
Little communist.
Sam
Yeah, literal communist, as President Trump says. Tell me about your statement and how do you think his election. Because, you know, the suburbs are more diverse than they've ever been. We know starting under Obama, what they're trying to do with Faho and this fairly. You know, they're trying to bring the city to the suburbs with, through housing and they're trying to ruin single family housing. All of these kind of policies. What. Tell me about your letter. And then what do you think his election will mean to place like Suffolk.
Jesse Garcia
County first, his election to places like Suffolk? Number one, I feel bad for anybody who lives in the city, who does works in the city, owns a business in the city. You know, in just a few, in about 50 days, it's going to be a bad time for them when Mondame gets elected. And you know what? The governor from whatever party in this case, Governor Hochul could have demonstrated leadership and said, no, we need to go a different way, but she did is that she doubled down on the failed policies that are already out there. This is a communist. This is Mandami administration means that we're going to have higher property taxes, higher utility rates. It's going to be New Long Islanders like us in Suffolk county paying for all these free programs that have not worked in any other venue or any other political jurisdiction, whether it be Venezuela or in other parts of this country. So we're gonna now attach Governor Hochul directly to the, to the hip of Mandami because they are one. They are the face of the, of the Democratic Party, they chose that this is gonna be the face of the Democratic Party. And on a political side, I'm going to demonstrate. I'm gonna tell the truth about their policies about cashless bail, about coddling criminals, about handcuffing judges, police officers and prosecutors at the expense of the middle class voters and the middle class families. And I'm going to show them how real tough Republican leadership on both budgets, on the economy and criminal justice, which is fair and just and transparent, that we're going to be able to make our community safer, more secure and more affordable.
Sam
Yeah, I mean, it's really, it's really amazing when you look that a guy like this not only not only can be even taken seriously, but, but could win elections. And we're raising a generation of kids who are looking at this and they think that this is the way they think these policies are the way they're growing up. I saw, I saw Mark Levin talking about this a lot the other night. That we're raising a generation of kids who are, just because of like guys like him and government, government, government. They push more government, more government. Then you have, these kids are going, well, the reason I can't buy a house is because of him or the reason I can't get successful is because of him or the reason I can't do this. The governor or the system or the white guy or the, this. It's all, there's, it's never about them. There's no individual responsibility. There's no individualism. There's nothing. It's just government, government, government. And this guy's talking about grocery stores and more government and it's just free busing, everything. Yeah.
Jesse Garcia
And taking away property rights, allowing squatters to be there. I mean, who's going to have, where are your affordable housing, true affordable housing going to come from? You know, there is a segment of our youth that is being indoctrinated into this type of belief. But I have f the young people, I have faith in the young people that came across the aisle and turned to Donald Trump in 2024 and said no. We tried the Democratic way. They lied to us about paying for our school, our school, college tuition. They've lied about us having jobs or having safe communities. And they turned in droves. And Charlie Kirk was part of that and others that made that movement from the Democrats to the Republicans. We saw Donald Trump and Republicans grow in every demographic. There was a lot of that is because these people, over the last four years, these groups saw the failures within their own communities of These Democratic policies, we're going to double down on the successes that we do here locally. We're going to amplify them on the state and national level. And I think we're prime here. You know, my dear friend who's the EPA administrator right now, Lee Zeldin, he blazed a path, came within a handful of votes to becoming the first governor since George pataki in almost 30 years, a Republican governor. You know, he blazed the path, he set the table. I believe that we have a number of candidates here in New York that are going to be able to bring the fight to Kathy Hochul, the Democrats and her and Kathy Hochul's actions by endorsing Mandami. That's going to probably be when we all do the analysis at the end of 26, his election. That's going to be was the beginning of the end of her tenure.
Sam
Just quickly and I'll let the guys ask some questions too if they have any of you. But just as obviously elections are heating up now. Suffolk county, what, what is your priority that you're talking to or kind of spreading word top down on the priorities of the Republican Party? Is the number one thing cost of living still for people on Long Island? Absolutely, yeah.
Jesse Garcia
Taxes and affordability are number one on everyone's top ten list. The second one is safety. Everyone is in is, is concerned about their public safety. They see not so much the public safety they have in around their communities, but what they see around like in New York City and other states. So our priorities are going to be continuing the platform that the Republicans have under supervisor, I'm sorry, under County Executive Ed Romaine and the head of our ticket this year, District Attorney Ray Tierney. As you know, he's the one who, you know, solved the cold, the 13 year old cold case Gilgo beach murder that's going to be going to trial. And he had a big win just last week on DNA evidence. But he's ahead of our ticket and we're going to demonstrate to everyone through our legislature. That's our big race. For the first time in 1996, Republicans in Suffolk county hold the county executive and a super majority in the legislature. We're going to maintain our majority and grow our majority. We're going to go after two or three Democrats and keep them on their heels and really make them have to work. And we're going to be surprising them in a couple of different races like Laura endrus in the 5th legislative district, Chad Lubenacci in the 16th legislative district and Guy Legio in the 9th legislative district. And we're going to try and grow and go from, you know, I'm going for a baker's dozen, more than a baker's dozen. I want more than 13 because, yeah, I will feel better as someone who calls Suffolk county home, that these elected officials I know will work tirelessly to make sure that we're safe, that we're secure and that we have an affordable community to grow our businesses, grow our families.
Sam
I will do a couple more minutes with Jesse Garcia when we get back. Live from Studio 6P on a Monday. Glad you're in. We're back right after this. SAM.

Sam
All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6P on a Monday, getting a brand new week started. Glad you're in, everybody. Jesse Garcia is the chairman of the Suffolk County GOP here on Long Island, New York. But, you know, a lot of what Long island does, Suffolk county does is, as you know, resembles on the national level what President Trump is doing. President Trump's agenda continues to influence Republican candidates and strategists all the way down the ticket as far as when it comes to obviously immigration, economic growth, things like that, cost of living, inflation, and that's everything that I know Jesse is focused on. Delgado, what do you have for Jesse?
Rick Delgado
Something he said in the last segment, you know, talking about how you're going to focus on the state going after who's going to be the have, have you guys kind of zeroed in on who your gubernatorial candidate's going to be just yet?
Jesse Garcia
I think we have got a few, I think we have a few good candidates. I mean, certainly you have, you know, my neighboring county executive, Bruce Blakeman is in the mix. He's, he's sitting standing for reelection today, this year, excuse me. So I appropriate for him to go through that first and then go through his decision making process we also have Congresswoman Elise Tifatic, she's the head of the House Leadership Conference, an outstanding and dynamic representative in her own right. So I think we have a good stable of candidates that are going to come forward. I do believe that in the end though, honestly, you know, the conversations I've had with the White House, with their political directors and with one of my dear friends and one of my, my dear political like mentor is Tony Fabrizio. He's a pollster and consultant. He's been with me since I've been in campaigns as a staffer and now I keep him around when he's, he's, I'm chairman of this party and he's the President's pollster. So I, I'm in touch with him. The President's going to weigh in on who the Governor's going to be, all right? I mean, he's already done that a little bit by making sure that Lawler, Congressman Lawler, who's a fine, great member of Congress as well and great elected official, that he sticks in his seat to make sure we maintain that Republican majority.
Rick Delgado
Now, now let me ask you this though, because, you know, we've seen it, we see it all the time with the members of Congress. Somebody, somebody, you know, kind of gets out there. They promise of the promise of the world and when it comes to delivering, they don't deliver. They become the weak, need zero spine Republican once they get in office. Because I had to say what I had to say so I could win. Now I got everything that I need. Who wants to make deals? That's, that's what I think we want to avoid because I think we've seen the, the, the results of that type of nonsense when it comes to the people in Congress where the President can't seem to get judges pushed through, he can't seem to get some of these agenda items pushed through that he wants that. Meanwhile all these Congress people like, no, we're all, we're all Trump. And then they turn around and they say, well, maybe not because they've made side deals. How do we go about making sure we get somebody who's not gonna side deal their way through a four year governor?
Jesse Garcia
Well, I think that number one, you got to look at what their record are. I mean, you have two elected officials, Stefanik and Blakeman, that have a record, a body of record that is about lower taxes, it's about empowering small businesses, it's empowering communities more about local control than, you know, God forbid, Hochul control. And the Democrat Control. So I think you look at their body of record, number one. Number two, at that point, I think that if you see we have some tough cookies here in New York. And I will tell you the one, one benefit of having a slim majority in the House of Representatives is that you really can't have people equivocate. And I give, I gotta tell you, God, God bless that we have Speaker Johnson as the head of our caucus. He has been able to do what other speakers has not been able to do with a majority this small. He has brought them together. We have demonstrated in Washington that we're able to legislate for the middle class the big beautiful bill. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social securities, securing our border. Every major tenant that we needed for the economy and for small businesses in the middle class were included in that bill. And it was tough, including for us here in New York. In a blue state, we needed an increase in the deduction of salt, you know, state and local taxes. Now, not everyone in the Midwest, congressmen, members of Congress are going to understand that they have good governors that reduce their tax burden. We have a blue governor that wants to tax us even further. But they came together and they demonstrated that they can legislate from different points of view. So I think what we're going to see is you look at their body of work, you look at their ability to work together and come together to get an agenda done.
Sam
Yeah, I mean, well, we weren't fans of the big beautiful bill. Me specifically, just because. Yeah, I just don't know when we tackle the debt and deficits in this country and, you know, the budgetary gimmicks that they play on these bills where it's all backloaded, it never happens. You just explode the deficit. September 30th is coming. We're not going to get 12 appropriation bills. We're probably going to get a long, big fat CR for God knows how long. And every time the Republicans get in charge, and I'm sorry, now we hold them all. They never tackle it. There's always some reason that it has to be put. Well, you got to swallow the CR because the next time we got, you know, we were told last time at the end of Biden, we had to do it because we had to get into the Trump era 2.0. And then we got into Trump era and it's like, well, we can't slow down his agenda in the first hundred days. We got to kick it again. And here we are, September 30th and we're gonna kick it again. And it just when you look at the spending and the deficit spending in some of these bills, yeah, the tax cut's great. No tax on this, no tax on that. All that I get. But when you look at all of it in the grand scheme, boy, I just, I don't know when they tackle it, Jesse, I mean it just seems to, it's like the third rail of political talk.
Jesse Garcia
I think what you have, what you look at is for 12 of the last 16 years Democrats have been in charge of Washington and have been spending like drunken sailors. You're going to fix 12 years of wasteful spending and unaccountability in 7, 8, 9 months that we're in here for. It's not my mistaken and please hold my hold, don't hold me to the number, but I believe there's about $100 billion or, or several trillion dollars of deficit reduction there. Also the pundits said that tariffs were going to be killing this economy. Tariffs are actually helping the economy grow a bit and it's going to reduce our deficit. It, here's the thing we need to do. I think that what the Republicans are doing is that what we did with Reagan. You emboldened this middle class, you emboldened Main street instead of big corporations and such to grow the economy, there are more tax revenues that, that's going to adjust and attack the deficit. The other thing I also like, you know what abled bodied Americans who are receiving benefits like Medicare and such, they should be doing some type of work for that. 20 hours of work a week is not too much to ask. So I see you see the beginnings of addressing changes and abuse of programs and the deficit. Also what they've been doing by eliminating programs such as USA Aid and everything that's going forward, is it going slower than we expected or wanted to? It is a bit. But for that purposes they're moving forward in that direction. And again, ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you that you're not going to fix 12 out of 16 years of problems in nine months.
Sam
Yeah. Yes, Paul.
Paul Nolan
Well, I just love to know how can we have more transparency on the books of New York State? We generate so much tax money. We generate, you know, such a massive money about every year, but we never know where it goes. And it's one article after another. We look through the paper, we see that this money was wasted here. This was fraud here. This, even the lottery money looks like they just found another hole in all like where does it all go? And I'D just love to know, could we have a Gados, like at a state level? You know, just because the transparency is just torture. On my tiny little three bedroom ranch, I'm at 19,000 a year in taxes. It's outrageous. I mean, I paid for my house, now they'll take it from me, but they get. What do I do? I can't fight it. There's nothing I can do. And it's a helpless feeling. I never thought I'd be somebody who would leave New York to that point.
Sam
Have you seen what Desantis has been pushing for in Florida to get rid of the property tax? If you've paid your mortgage in full, I mean, is that, that's something you could look at public? If we got a Republican governor, obviously we could.
Jesse Garcia
Well, listen, to answer your question first, how you do, how was that done at the, at the federal level? We changed the President. That's what we did. New York needs to change its governor. We need to finally come together. We need all those groups and Lee Zeldin put together a coalition of different type of, of groups that propelled him to almost, to that governorship. Now we have four years of failure under whole and she's embracing the absolute worst part of her party, the Mandamis and the communists and socialist agenda. We need to now come together and understand it's our future. We now need to change the way the governor does because that's the best way of doing it. And I will tell you, one of the darkest years we've had here in New York was in 2018 when we lost a Republican Senate in the state Senate. That was the check, check and balance to the Democrats running roughshod and we've been suffering since then.
Paul Nolan
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Sam
39 past the hour, we're speaking with Jesse Garcia. We're gonna, we appreciate his time and giving us extra time here. Slick. I'll let you close it out. Anything for Jesse.
Slick
Yeah, more of a statement actually. I just want to thank Jesse for being the backbone of the Suffolk county gop. What this guy has done is incredible. For selfish reasons, I want him to stay in Suffolk county. But I like to see this man on the national level because Suffolk county should be the template for how the entire, entire 50 states should run in this country, the way they operate. I got to tell you, the elected officials that I deal with on my level, and I don't talk about it a lot, but you know, I do a lot for small business through the Chamber of Commerce for the entire century so far. And I got to tell you, working with the current leadership, now that's in office that Jesse has been able to provide and put in place, it is incredible the way this county spends money now efficiently. We're doing work for our small businesses, our roads, our highways, our quality of life. Suffolk county is the place to be. Thank you for sliding them from purple to red, making it what it is. Nassau County's also done a great job job. But Jesse, I want to thank you. I'm very proud to work with you, work with your team. Exceptional. And I'd love to see you on the national level. I think that's where you are. But we'll keep you here in Suffolk County.
Jesse Garcia
I appreciate that. I'm flattered. But I love Suffolk county and truly I will accept those kind words on behalf of the 1300 committee members of the Suffolk County Republican Committee. They are the ones that go door to door. They're the ones that go. In fact, they started hundreds of them, thousands of them, hit them. Began on Saturday for a six week program to help our candidates and identify voters and advocate for our voters for our candidates. Excuse me. They're the ones that they hold the coffee clutches. Sometimes they dig into their pockets for a few bucks to help our candidates get their message out. But they are the ones that volunteer. They're members of the community and they have a vested interest in how this community goes. They are the engine of the Republican Party in Suffolk county and I, I am ever grateful to them.
Slick
And they think the world of your leadership too, from the other side. That's what I hear.
Paul Nolan
So you said it best. You said you love Suffolk County. You think Hochul ever said she loves, loves New York?
Jesse Garcia
No, I don't even think she loves Erie.
Paul Nolan
She's just a well placed puppet. She was taking a marching orders. She is bought and owned.
Jesse Garcia
And let's go find out who is giving her these stupid marching orders. I mean this is crazy.
Paul Nolan
Every billionaire class loves her. I wonder why.
Rick Delgado
Well, let me ask you this because you mentioned about the, the people that are starting to get out there because you know the upcoming election. Do you have a Scott Pressler like lined up? Because something like that could help turn New York. You saw how close Trump came to doing that. You saw how close Lee Zeldin came to doing that. And how do you plan to take on the, the gerrymandering?
Jesse Garcia
Well, let me take the first one first. We have an outstanding group of young Republican groups, the Suffolk County Young Republican groups that work in that we have college Republicans that do this you can see a lot. Our committee, committee has gotten younger over the age. They've gotten younger in the elected officials and they've gotten younger in our committeemen spots and such. We're bringing their talents to the forefront and they are advocates door to door and in these different groups additionally now. So I would like to tell you that there are a couple hundred Scott Presslers that we have. But though nonetheless, I would invite Scott Presser to come in. We would love to have him here. He's been here a couple of times already, but I guess we've learned from him a little bit. But the issue is in terms of what was his other question?
Rick Delgado
Gerrymandering.
Jesse Garcia
Gerrymandering. We are going to continue to fight the that fight. We were very successful in in court. We were successful to make sure that the overreach of the Democrats in their first in their first congressional seats were going to be were thrown out of court. We fought for a good seat and we're going to just continue to work the courts, whether it be on the federal level or state level, to make sure that we have proper representation here.
Sam
All right.
Rick Delgado
Cool.
Sam
The great Jesse Garcia here from live from Studio 6B, the chairman of the Suffolk County GOP. We appreciate you giving us all the stuff.
Jesse Garcia
Thank you so much. It's great to have you.
Sam
The great Jesse Garcia here live from Studio 6B. All right, we're back. Do some news right after this. Sam.
Mary Kathryn Ham
Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham.
Carol Markowitz
And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time, long enough to know that.
Mary Kathryn Ham
It'S gotten, well, a little insane.
Carol Markowitz
That's why we started normalely a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
Mary Kathryn Ham
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without paying, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
Carol Markowitz
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
Mary Kathryn Ham
So if you're into common sense, sanity and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people. Catch new episodes of normally every Tuesday.
Carol Markowitz
And Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you list.
Sam
All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Monday, Real America's Voice, September 15th. Glad you're in. Want to thank Jesse Garcia for giving us the better part of the first hour. But it's important stuff and anything we talk about with him here, it really applies nationally as well. Like I said, President Trump and what he's doing on a national level obviously really filters down to the local. And then Jesse has really led the resurgence for Republicans here in Suffolk county. There's about 3 million people here, so he's done a great job. Sick. Let's do some sports a little bit here. Thirteen to the hour. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. We were all texting on football weekend. I don't even know this. Odds makers probably shouldn't count, but yeah, Slick did great. So he wants it to count. Aaron would rather not count. We need to because Aaron couldn't find the broadside of a barn. So Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Slickster. What's going on?
Slick
Yeah, it was a interesting weekend, I have to say. I know Aaron was at the Jet game. You have any footage of that Aaron for us from the week from yesterday?
Mary Kathryn Ham
No, no, not that could make it to air.
Rick Delgado
I was just cursing.
Slick
Boy, Aaron was the last Jeff wearing it all. She was the only Jet fan left in the stadium right at the end of the night.
Aaron
Terrible.
Slick
Yeah. So rough weekend over there. And Cowboys Giants game was absolutely ridiculous. Something that I don't think anybody could have predicted the amount of offense that was put up. Russell Wilson had an absolute career day. He looked like Dan Marino back in 83 the way he was throwing that ball. Unstoppable with the Cowboys secondary playing his own Tampa to defense that they're not accustomed to playing to and almost cost him the game. But Brandon Aubrey kicks 65 yard field goals like they're extra points on a Sunday. So he's, you know, it's really incredible the way that went down. So. But yeah, rough weekend overall, you know, college games. I was hit or miss with that big day, but it was pretty good. But I don't have a full recap on that and it's really not necessary in light of a lot. My mind was in a lot of different places and as much as I enjoyed watching football, of course I couldn't get Charlie out of my head all day. And I just want to run a story about that. And a disappointing story. Five NFL teams declined moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. Each celebrated George Floyd back in the day. So this is Warner Todd Houston at Breitbart. With week two of the NFL winding down, five home teams refused to sponsor a moment of silence for murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, even though each of them held memorials, made statements and donated money in honor.
Sam
I legitimately don't know who they are. Neither do I. Alright, let's guess first. I'm going to go for sure. Minnesota Vikings check. Okay. One of the LA teams? I don't know which one. Maybe both, but no. Okay, what's your guess, Paul?
Paul Nolan
The 49ers?
Slick
No.
Sam
No. He just said no. California. No.
Paul Nolan
California. I'm sorry, I thought you said no. La.
Sam
How about Chicago?
Slick
No.
Sam
Oh.
Paul Nolan
How about New York?
Jesse Garcia
No, I give up.
Sam
Sorry. Where are they?
Slick
Cincinnati Bengals.
Sam
Okay.
Slick
Detroit Lions. Michigan. Of course.
Paul Nolan
That makes sense.
Slick
Baltimore Ravens. Of course. You missed that one. And indianapol Colts along with the Minnesota Vikings. So yeah, very disappointing. And each of those teams, not only did they do memorials for convicted criminal and drug addict George Floyd back in 2020, but they also raised money as well. At the stadium, the Ravens participated in what was called a national day of mourning in June of 2020. The Bengals locked arms in solidarity against supposed radical injustice. The Detroit Lions released a statement honoring George Floyd and had multiple events in his name. The Colts also made statements, donated money and held events in honor of Floyd. The Vikings created scholarships in Floyd's name, invited Floyd's family to opening day, and multiple Viking players had team sponsored visits to the George Floyd Memorial. So you see the difference and then the complete silence. I will say I was proud to see my Dallas Cowboys big tv, big screen before they took the field against the Giants. Made sure I showed my wife. Jerry Jones did the right thing. They had a nice, there was many nice ones. Yeah, it was absolutely beautiful. If you want to. I wish, you know, I had the footage, but we, you know, we can't with the NFL. But it was really a nice celebration of life for Charlie and recognition and I thought that was absolutely fantastic. Of course, some, you know, we have some sports people that also reached out and said the wrong thing as well. But I'll get to those stories a little bit later. But on a positive note, we thought it was a good week two in the NFL. And obviously I'm going to get into the dependent race because that's starting to come down to the wire now too. Major league baseball, just two weeks left. Season wraps up on September 30th. And what do you know, Hockey preseason is ready to start too.
Rick Delgado
Paul.
Slick
Can't wait to get those Islanders on the ice and see what they have this year with the number one overall draft pick. And that's a wrap in sports for this segment. Big deal. Come back with it a little bit more.
Sam
All right, so very good. Now obviously we understand sports is not tying on everyone's list right now, and nor should it should be, obviously, as everything is still raw and new and old. But we got to do some. Something other than you Know, we got to try to move on a little bit to some things other than just can't get pounded over the head all day, every day. So we're trying to mix some things back in here and a respectful way. So let's do some news and some headlines. Rick Delgado, what's going on?
Rick Delgado
Well, the greatest headlines in the world, of course, President Trump was speaking today at the White House, had a lot to say. Also, you know, we talked about the, I guess the appearance. Did we mention the. Yeah, you mentioned the J.D. vance appearance on Charlie Kirk's show. So that was going on as well.
Sam
It was.
Slick
You have the clips for that.
Sam
I mean, I know people that got their hair on fire on the left over it and people in the media just. Absolutely. They can't. There's some of the, again, I mean, it's just the same kind of responses as if this, the whole thing with Charlie Kirk had never happened. It's still unhinged, just unhinged. They've learned nothing. They're not going to change. Yeah, but J.D. vance was brilliant today.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, it was, it was quite the, quite the appearance, you might say. I don't know if you wanted to play some of that. I do, but we'll save it for the next hour.
Sam
We'll play the top of the hour.
Rick Delgado
Let's do that. Here's a quick one, though. The war on terror continues as the US Military carried out another strike on Venezuelan narco terrorists in international waters. Venezuelans targeted it while trying to transport more drugs to the U.S. i guess they didn't catch the video from a couple weeks ago when President Trump was grinding a little narco terror too and blowing up another boat. He announced the military carried out that second strike on the Venezuelan cartels as the administration continues the crackdown. Trump shared the video of what he called kinetic strikes which resulted in the death of three male terrorists. He posted on Truth Said this morning, on my order, US Military forces conducted a second kinetic strike against positively identified extraordinary violent drug trafficking cartels and narco terrorists in the south calm area of responsibility. A strike occurred while the confirmed narco terrorists from Venezuela were in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, a deadly weapon poisoning Americans headed to the US Outlining how the cartels pose that threat to the nation. Trump confirmed several terrorists terrorists had been killed. The first strike again happened against a suspected Trend Drug Boat September 2nd and left 11 suspected terrorists dead. At the time, Senator Marco Rubio indicated that a visit on a visit to Ecuador that the US and its allies were working on tough on a tougher approach to these cartels. He said cooperative governments would help the US US Identify drug traffickers and blow them up up if that's what it takes. And you know, that's plain speaking from not only the president but also from the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, which is again, great to see. We don't want to see the, you know, the old time, you know, what they're called rhinos out there, just, you know, just talking and telling people what they want to hear while not really appealing to what, what we actually want done. So there you have it from, from that also, Trump borders are, you know him, we know him, we love him. Tom Holman, he has announced the Operation Midway blitz in Chicago targeting illegal migrants across the city is working very well. Local authorities strengthened, of course, their opposition with their know your rights campaign, blah, blah, blah, nobody cares. But President Donald Trump has repeatedly, repeatedly said that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. pritzker are focused on tormenting more crime. And of course they're out to stop it. He also announced today that Memphis, they're going to be getting the National Guard over to Memphis, Tennessee. He announced that in a press conference.
Sam
Today as well, signed a memorandum, the governor and the two senators and all of his, a lot of his other, their cabinet members there. All right, hour one in the books. Hour two coming back live from Studio 6B right after this. Sara.
Mary Kathryn Ham
I'm Mary Catherine. I'm Hamm.

Carol Markowitz
And Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.
Sam
All right, 9 o' clock, hour two live from Studio 6B back on a Monday, September 15th, brand new week. I have to say with the little that I, I didn't see a lot of it. I was out last night but the vigil at the Kennedy center looked really beautiful. And I have to tell, I have to say and I, I said this on Friday closing the show, but the real America's Voice team, man, they edited A cold open for that vigil. That was just beautiful. And I'll tell you, the other opening they did Today was the first segment of Charlie Kirk show, which J.D. vance didn't even start talking to the second segment because the first segment was just a montage put together by, by, I think, Rav some of the producers there. And it was just fantastic, absolutely moving and fantastic. So J.D. vance hosted the. Let's do the second one, the outro, because I think that's, that's really the one that hit me. His intro was fabulous as well in segment two of the show. But this was the last segment of the show and it's long, but it's so worth listening to a little bit of it. Roll that, Aaron.
Aaron
Shortly after Usha and I left Charlie's family and Charlie's remains in Arizona, I read a story in the Nation magazine about my dear friend Charlie Kirk. Now, the Nation isn't a fringe blog. It's a well funded, well respected magazine whose publishing history goes back to the American Civil War. George Soros Open Society foundation funds this magazine, as does the Ford foundation and many other wealthy titans of the American progressive movement. The writer accuses Charlie of saying, and I quote, black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. But if you go and watch the clip, the very clip she links to, you realize he never said anything like that. He never uttered those words. He made an argument against affirmative action as a policy. He criticized a specific Supreme Court justice as an individual. He never said anything about black women as a group. He made an argument for judging people of all races and backgrounds by their own individual merits. The very evidence she provides, this hack of a writer shows that she lied about a dead man. And yet she wrote it, an esteemed magazine, published it, it made it through the editors, and of course liberal billionaires rewarded that attack. Now, of course, even if Charlie had uttered those words, it wouldn't mean that he deserved his fate. But consider the level of propaganda at work. Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight and well funded institutions of the left lied about what he said so as to justify his murder. This is soulless and evil. But I was struck not just by the dishonesty of this smear, but by the glee over a young husband's and young father's death. Quote, she says he was an unrepentant racist transphobe, homophobe and misogynist, the Nation wrote, who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people. That's what they said. He had children, as do many vile people. Now, hours before this smear was published, my wife and I had the honor of escorting Charlie's body back to his home in Arizona. We took his wife, Erica, we love you. His parents, his sister, and a few of his best friends with us. And as they offloaded Charlie's casket from Air Force Two, I worried that Erica would collapse with grief. Now, I am a very lucky husband to a very wonderful wife. But I have never been prouder of my wife than that moment as she held Erica in Erica's very darkest hour. And I thought of Erica as I read that disgusting attack on Charlie. He had children. Children, as do many vile people. That's what they said about him. I said the Lord's Prayer. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And I asked Usha what Erica had said to her earlier in the day in a private moment. And I asked Erica's permission to share this. This, my wife told me. She asked me for advice. Erica asked me for advice on how she should tell her children that their father had been murdered. She asked my wife how to tell her beautiful kids that their father and my dear, very dear friend is no longer with us. And as she was doing it, there were people dancing on that father's grave. Now, I have heard many calls in the last few days for unity and for healing in the wake of Charlie's assassination. You have no idea how desperately I want that. How gratified I was when Democratic friends and even former Senate colleagues reached out to offer their condolences to me. I'm so thankful. Thankful. And I know there are so many like them all across our great country. I am desperate to wrap my arms around them as we all unite to condemn political violence and the ideas that cause it. Psalm 133 tells us, Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious, ordinary ointment upon the head. Oh, how badly have I craved that precious ointment in recent days. And I believe we can have it. But first. First we must tell the truth. It's the only way to honor Charlie. For what was he if not a man who told the truth in every place, in every environment? Now, the most important truth Charlie told is this.
Sam
This.
Aaron
That long ago, a man begotten, not made, came down from heaven and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man for our sake. He was crucified under Pontius Pilate and suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day. Charlie believed, as I do, that all the truth he told flowed from that fundamental principle. I really do believe that we can come together in this country. I believe we must. But unity, real unity, can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth. And there are difficult truths we must confront in our country. One truth is that 24% percent of self described, quote, very liberals believe it is acceptable to be happy about the death of a political opponent, while only 3% of self described very conservatives agree. 3% is too many. Of course, another truth is that 26% of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified. And only 7% of young conservatives say the same against in too high a number. In a country of 330 million people, you could of course find one person of a given political persuasion justifying this or that or almost anything. But the data is clear. People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, one side has a much bigger and malignant problem. And that is the truth we must, must be told. That problem has terrible consequences. The leader of our party, Donald J. Trump, escaped an assassin's bullet by less than an inch. Our House majority leaver, Stephen Scalise, came within seconds of death by an assassin himself. And now the most influential conservative activist in generations, our friend Charlie, has been murdered. Murdered. This violence, it doesn't come from nowhere. Now, any political movement, violent or not violent, is a collection of forces. It's like a pyramid that stacks on top, one support on top of the other. That pyramid's got a foundation of donors, of activists, of journalists, now of social media influencers, and of course, of politicians. Not every member of that pyramid pyramid would commit a murder. In fact, over 99%, I'm sure, would not. But by celebrating that murder, apologizing for it, and emphasizing not Charlie's innocence, but the fact that he said things some didn't like, even to the point of lying about what he actually said, many of these people are creating an environment where things like this are inevitably going to happen. A couple of months ago, I had lend a fundraiser in Southern California and Sarah, since you know, we'd be out there anyways, my wife and I decided to take our kids to Disneyland one weekend. We had fun. And to be clear, most of the guests said very nice things or they just left us alone. But there was a loud and very vocal minority that would shout at my children who were 8, 5 and 3 whenever they got the opportunity. You should disown your dad, you little shit. One middle aged woman yelled at my five year old. Tell the Secret Service to protect the Constitution, not your father. Screamed in another. Are these women violent? Probably not. Are they deranged? Certainly. And while our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left. After Charlie died, one of his friends and one of our senior White House staffers had left leaning operatives in his neighborhood. Neighborhood Passing out leaflets telling people what he looked like and where he lived. Encouraging neighbors to harass him or God forbid, to do worse. While he was mourning his dead friend, he and his wife had to worry about the political terrorists drawing a big target on the home he shares with his young children. Are these people violent? I hope not. But are they guilty of encouraging violence? Violence? You damn well better believe it. We can thank God that most Democrats don't share these attitudes and I do. While acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe. A minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far left. There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents politics. There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his luck murder. There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family lost a dear friend. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination. And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagreed. Did you know that the George Soros Open Society foundation and the Ford foundation, the groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death, do you know they benefit from generous tax treatment? They are literally subsidized by you and me, the American taxpayer. And how do they reward us? By setting fire to the house built by the American family over 250 years.
Sam
Years.
Aaron
I am desperate for our country to be united in condemnation of the actions and the ideas that killed my friend. I want it so badly that I will tell you a difficult truth. We can only have it with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable. And when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.
Mike Benz
Country.
Aaron
Now our government, you heard me talk to Stephen Miller about this, will be working very hard to do exactly that in the months to come. We're not always going to get it right. We will sometimes move more slowly than you would like. We will sometimes move more.

If I got time for one quick story, Big D. All right, well Dwayne Johnson's daughter's Instagram post shared hours after Charlie Crook's assassination sparks massive Backlash Be kind or get assassination. This is Simon Kent of Breitbart. Dwayne the Rock Johnson's daughter Ava Rain sparked a massive backlash for a social media post that appeared to be directed at Charlie Kirk just hours after the Free Speech Advocate was assassinated. The 24 year old is also a WWE professional wrestler just like her father. Shared an ex post from comedian Gianmarco Soresi on her Instagram story which read if you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you are alone live, the New York Post first noted, although the comment did not directly name the celebrated Turning Point USA founder, she doubled down, adding a comment of her own in a repost on the Rx account and I'll stand behind this. Be kind now more than ever. Rainn, whose full name is Simon Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson, she wrote. Her position quickly drew a massive backlash from WWE fans and followers, and WWE has yet to respond with any fight formal words as a firing.
Sam
Any formal firing is what you should say.
Paul Nolan
Bye bye.
Sam
This is what JD Vance is talking about.
Slick
Yep.
Sam
Exactly what he's talking about. Yeah. Anything else?
Slick
That's a rapid dig.
Sam
All right, so getting back to J.D. vance, just a couple thoughts and we'll go around here. Number one, that's that that is a presidential address. That's the way it seemed to me. Very Reagan esque Presidential desk. That may, that may be. And I know it's he's filling in, he's kind of taking on the role of a host there, but he's not really taking on the role of a host. He's the Vice President of the United States. He's someone who understands the stakes, understands the landscape, understands the problems of Republicans in the past Republic problems of Republicans currently, understands the landscape of the media. Media. And that is someone who, I mean to hear him recite the Nicene Creed and the Our Father, I mean, are you kidding me? How beautiful that was. And I mean honestly, that that we may look back on that and think that that's one of the most consequential political speeches that we've heard in a long, long time. And it maybe that sounds weird because people thinking he was doing a radio show. But honestly, that may be one of the more consequential speeches for where this country is now going that we've heard in a long time. Paul, what do you think?
Paul Nolan
Well, stats and facts. He brought them. You want receipts? He had them. You want the spirituality, you want the genuine decency? He's there. You want to talk about a guy with incredible ability for recall, a guy who. A great historian, great speaker, you got to check the boxes on him there. The fact that he made it clear that he would like nothing more than to reach out across the aisle, the people who did, he would love nothing more than that, somehow or another, create some unity in this world. But he called out the lunatics. He called out the most despicable people in society. And it's, you know, it's truly repugnant. What we're seeing here, and it reminded me of a quote I saw not too long ago, was the death of human empathy is one of the greatest and earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism. And, you know, he speaks to that right then and there because we see the left are so barbaric and they're so detached from humanity and reality. It's been nothing short of disgusting. In fact, I'll just give you the quick story. There's a streamer named Destiny. I've never seen him win a debate. He's just a great argument, a crybaby and a whiner. And he yells over his. But he never brings receipts, never brings any substance to his debates. He's a clown, to be completely honest. He was quoted as saying that we need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events. So they look to their leadership and turn down the temperature the issue is right now. They don't feel any fear. Like, I don't know. And he went on to say something effective. We need conservatives to be afraid to get killed when they go to their event. This is coming from the probably leading left wing, whatever you call this.
Sam
Really? I never heard of the guy.
Paul Nolan
Destiny. Yeah, yeah, he's. He's a clown. Here's why I didn't hear of him. He's an idiot, but he's supposedly the big voice of the. Of the, you know, the extended adolescent 29 year old who stays in his basement playing video games and refuses to work.
Sam
You heard of this guy?
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Sam
Really?
Rick Delgado
Yeah, he's. He's garbage. He's one of those garbage people.
Sam
All right, 26 past the hour. We'll get Delgado's thoughts on J.D. vance and slicks when we get back, right after this. Sam.
Mary Kathryn Ham
Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Hamm.
Carol Markowitz
And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time, long enough to know that.
Mary Kathryn Ham

Sam
All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6P on a Monday night. Paul's going to do some news here in a second. Rick Delgado is going to do some more headlines. Slick's doing sports. But right now we're talking about J.D. vance, who not only hosted a show today and he was great at that, but he ignited a, a swell, an under. Well, I don't know what, he ignited a fire or something. I don't know what he did, but he, he gave 13 minutes there in the clown closing. That was, I think, as consequential as we're going to look back and realize on of any speech we've heard political speech in a long time. And as I said, a guy who understands what's at stake here. And that was a presidential style delivery, just really fantastic. What'd you think, Delgado?
Rick Delgado
I thought it was very well said. I think he conveyed a lot of what we all kind of think, think.
Sam
And the unity thing, you know, the unity thing, you're hearing a lot of unit. We, we, the right's gotta, guys, the right's gotta tone it down. The right's gotta give into unity. The right's gotta do this. And I thought he just. No, I think he tackled that part of it. I thought so.
Rick Delgado
Well, yeah, about, about basically blowing up that argument because it's not for us to come to the table while they try and shoot you. That's, that's basically what he's saying. He's like, no, it's, we're not doing that anymore. Anymore. And I think you're hearing that a lot across the board. And you know, and Paul's, Paul's mention of how barbaric the left has gotten and your mention last week, because I Think we keep seeing it over and over again, right? We see the doctors, we see the lawyers, we see the teachers. We see all these people that are supposed to be pillars of community. They're actually indoctrinated. And. And that's the scary part for I think, a lot of people. The one thing that we saw over the weekend, remember that nurse who came out and actually resigned her position or she got fired. Right. I think that's what it was. She got fired for her position. I have the story here. I'll just give you her name real quick. Well, turns out the nurse. Let's see the nurse, Lexi Kunslow. She sued Ingle with Health and Dr. Matthew Jung, alleging that Jung cheered and celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination and she was forced to lose her job. Well, now she's been rehired. She now has her job, and the doctor has now resigned, which couldn't happen to a nicer person. Just go away. Like he said, these people shouldn't be allowed in polite society. Society anymore. No, you.
Sam
You.
Rick Delgado
You forfeited that. Right. Basically showing yourself that you don't believe in humanity. If you don't believe in humanity and you're a doctor, you're not a doctor.
Sam
And this is the story that the doctor said some offhanded comment, and she looked up to him and said, you know, you're a dot. Basically, like that. Like you're a doctor. Like what?
Rick Delgado
Right.
Paul Nolan
How could you possibly be happy? A man was murdered in front of his family, Right. And There was like 11 or 12 nurses around and staffers. And she's the only one who had the guts to say something, say anything.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Paul Nolan
And she just stood up to him. And it was just another example of Charlie was strong enough to go on every college campus. It's really up for us to no longer be afraid of the gaslighting and the woke mob. It's up for us to constantly speak up and be like, no, you're gaslighting. You're lying. And she did it, and good for her.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. But again, it speaks volumes to that segment of society. We're talking about people who are professional, who are doctors, who are lawyers, who are teachers influencing the young. And you want to know how it's done? It's done on purpose.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Rick Delgado
Right.
Paul Nolan
The college education is an indoctrination.
Rick Delgado
Not only that, but it's done. And again, I'll grab these quick quotes if you don't mind. Damon, throwing these quotes up from Mike Benz regarding on how they. They do these kinds of things and how this rot has kind of infiltrated. You know, you mentioned the attack from the inside. This is how the. They did it. This is cut number four. Here's Mike Benz talking about how the CIA uses these tactics to start a riot. Cut number four.
Mike Benz
Here's a declassified CIA guide written in 1983 to train CIA operatives in the field on how to organize riots in foreign countries. And here's a tab on using agitators, including hiring professional criminal criminals to manipulate mass meetings and assemblies of people in person, which can result in general violence. And you will see that they advocate for general violence. Where the CIA tells the case officers, our psychological war team must develop in advance a hostile mental attitude among the target groups so that at the given moment they can turn their anger into violence, demanding the rights taken away by the regime. So make these ethnic minority groups so mad at their government in a general sense that whenever we snap the trigger at the given moment, they will turn that general anger into physical violence against the state that we want to overthrow.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, and it links it probably, that statement probably links right back to the, the modernization of the Smith Month Act.
Paul Nolan
Right, yeah, we've been talking about for.
Rick Delgado
A while here, which basically is now no holds barred when it comes to the media. The media can now spread propaganda because of that one particular move by modernizing the Smith Munz Act.
Paul Nolan
Yeah, that was Obama's dirty hands covering his dirty butt on all his criminal behavior and all his, know, his cohorts. I mean that is a, that legalizing propaganda against your own people. Yeah. How could that go wrong?
Rick Delgado
And it's amazing how many people in the news media just so happen to be, you know, married to people in the intelligence community. Cut number five. You, you want to know about the doctors and lawyers and teachers here he is talking about that, Mike.
Mike Benz
This is a CIA guide on getting teachers, doctors, attorneys in business, businessmen in a cluster cell recruited as social crusaders for the CIA backed cause. And then note what it says through a gradual process. These cells, your 10 super teachers with a lot of influence. In the teaching realm, you are 10 lawyers with a lot of influence. In the legal realm, you're 10 captains of industry with a lot of influence. In business, you are 10 medical professionals with a lot of pull over the hospital system. Systems will each work within their own spheres of influence. And at the appropriate time their influence will be used to fuse the groups together into a united front. Using the tactics of a force of 200 to 300 agitators, one can create a demonstration in which 10,000 to 20,000 could take part all we need are 200, 200 back channels, 200 human assets that we've capacity built and we can get 20,000 people to commit a violent riot in a fury of violence against their own government.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, so. So again, if you're looking for, you know, disappointment and being. How could they think this way? It's by design.
Sam
When did he make that? This had nothing to do with Charlie, right?
Paul Nolan
June, right.
Rick Delgado
This, this. I found a couple, I think back in June I found on this, him talking about this.
Paul Nolan
Yeah, I'm obsessed with his work. I watch everything he does and you know, he's one of the few people who will constantly expose the CIA and let's just leave it at because I don't want to get in any more trouble. You know, they're mischievous, they have put their dirty paws in everything and have absolutely subverted this nation from within. As Ron Paul said, they it's time to dismantle them.
Sam
You know what's funny about that? I was having dinner with somebody who, if you asked me, I would say that. I would say he's political, the wife's not political. I would, I would have said it all. He's maybe a little. We don't really talk politics when we're together. But we went to dinner and Paul, the whole conversation, the whole night I was saying he, you know, he asked me what I thought about certain things and I, I'd said some things about this Charlie Kirk thing just didn't add up to me and still don't. And the whole conversation from there went on to just that, that there is this, that even normal. I mean, yeah, we talk about it, you know, we kind of joke about you and Delgado being out there. But to be serious, even what I would call normal, almost non political just kind of on the surface. People, people are looking at this going there is some bigger game here that none of us have any idea what's going on. And that goes for not only this situation, but just a whole of government situation we have no idea about. These are people that don't. I mean I've never heard talk like this.
Paul Nolan
Yeah. You know, this is the erosion of civics and public trust. This is the erosion of confidence in American politics, in the nation itself. This is the end result of 60 or 70 years of operation after operation from MKUltra to Operation Paperclip to Operation Timber Sycamore to, you know, it's endless. Psyop after psyop after psyop. And what they've done is they completely destroyed all public trust the fact that the first thing I said when Charlie, you know, when the smoke cleared, it's like the worst thing about this is I feel like the first story I hear I know is going to be bs And I feel like I'm never going to know the real truth or any detail of what really happened, because I do not trust the institutions that are going to run these operations even a little bit. And if you look just on the surface right now of what's going on through the Discord Chat and the Discord Owner deleting the. The history that these, you know, online trans community were talking about, the. The plan, the plot and all this stuff, and now you look at some of the way Cash Patel. And so things that it handled along the way where he wasn't supposed to release the people that he's praised for releasing the information, and then we have him in custody, that we don't have him in custody. It's just been an endless frustration, and I'm trying my best to let the dust settle before I start digging in, but I can't help myself. I'm looking into all of the external videos that are coming in. I'm looking at these tweets. What is this? Seven or eight tweets that predicted this was going to happen, happen, and then those accounts have been deleted. You know, so, you know, this is this. Nothing about this story has sat right with really anybody who is even remotely aware of what's going on. And that's the thing. The. Even the people you don't think are remotely aware because they keep their mouth shut. Everybody knows now, almost everybody knows that we are being endlessly gaslit and lied to and manipulated.
Sam
Yeah, I think that's fair. Any other headlines? Delgado?
Rick Delgado
Well, I. I know you wanted to go to Slick, too, on. On his thoughts on J.D.
Sam
Vance. Oh, yes. Like, what'd you think of J.D.
Slick
I thought he was great, obviously. Definitely presidential. But I liked what he said about his wife supporting Erica. I thought that was fantastic. The way she held her up and, you know, I mean, sure, what do you tell. What do you tell your children? And, you know, I thought that was really good that she did that. And it shows the unity amongst those two, the vice president and his wife as well. Was that they call that the second lady? Is that what they. That's official term? Yeah.
Paul Nolan
You know, if I. Because I would have a lot of time. But I'm just curious, like, if J.D. vance wasn't actually vice president, I feel like he's one of the few brains and people who could match, almost match Charlie's ability to do what he did. You know, he's young enough, he's bright enough, he's articulate enough, he's patient enough, he's Christian. Christian enough for sure. You know, he. Very few people can really. It's going to take 10 people and Erica to, well, there.
Sam
The answer is there's no replacement. Right. It's like saying we wait for the next Rush Limbaugh. You're going to wait forever. Yeah, there's never going to be one. There's never going to be a. You can't replace these men. They're so, you just generational. You just, yeah. You just don't replace them. There is no replacement for them.
Slick
That's the truth.
Sam
Truth.
Rick Delgado
So, yeah, but just be careful of the, the charlatans that try to and always.
Sam
All right, we'll wrap it up for a Monday live from Studio 6P right after this. SAM.
Mary Kathryn Ham
Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham.
Carol Markowitz
And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time, long enough to know that.
Mary Kathryn Ham
It'S gotten, well, a little bit insane.
Carol Markowitz
That's why we started Normalely a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
Mary Kathryn Ham
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.

Carol Markowitz
And Thursday on the iHeart We Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you listen.
Sam
All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Monday night. Glad you're in. Slick's doing sports. Delgado's gonna get some more headlines in here. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. Let's get to some other news that's going on in the world. I guess it's all related. But Paul, you've got a couple things that are interesting. You give me what's on your mind.
Paul Nolan
So I find it fascinating that the world has kind of had it with globalism. And I thought what happened in London over the weekend, if you want to roll that as B. So if you ask, if you look at the screen here, I want you guys to try to think about how many people this really looks like. That's obviously not easy to guesstimate this, but if you look at NBC News, tens of thousands join far right rally in London. London, okay, then. It was clashes in London as 110 joint far right rally against immigration. Over 100,000 attend London far right activists break out in clashes with the npr. So it's Al Jazeera says BBC police hurt during Tommy Robinson's London rally Anti immigration Protest draws over 100,000. So this is the nonsense of the mainstream media here. Look at this video that just keeps on going and going and go. So the estimates now are between 2 million and 5 million people say.
Slick
And look at it doesn't, it doesn't take about 1500.
Paul Nolan
And obviously there was a great, like the Charlie Kirk shot has to be what finally sent the, the people of London over the edge. The rallies were fantastic. They talked about there's no more. You're going to tell us that, you know, that our nation shouldn't keep its culture, shouldn't keep its history. We're not far right. We just love our forefathers and what they've done for us and where we've been as a nation. We want to keep our colors, we want to keep our laws, we want to keep our history. We're not far right, we're not extremists because we love our nation. We are sons and grandsons and great grandsons of the nation. And we don't want to be told that we're evil. Look at it. It just, that's incredible.
Slick
I am, I am blown away.
Paul Nolan
I mean, some estimates are as many as 5 million. But you know, at this point by the corrupt media, to call this a hundred thousand is another example of the endless, relentless gaslighting that they do to manipulate souls, hearts, mind, spirit, and they try to defeat you. So this, to me was a great victory for liberty. Liberty. And it's just, to me, it's worth us to let this entire one minute play out because, you know, you know, as they say, like, you know, nothing can, you can't kill a good idea. You can't kill, you know, freedom and liberty. And so, you know, I just wanted to get that one out there.
Rick Delgado
Well, if you, if you want to put that in context, kind of you can look back on like just. And every year at New New Year's Eve in Times Square, they usually get about a million people. I'd say that's three to four times bigger.
Paul Nolan
Yeah, that's what I think too. So, you know, I just was thinking about something that you think about how people rally. Like the elite can't stand these rallies. And just remember like how there was Occupy Wall street and all the far left people going against the banks and Then next thing you know, the Tea Party arises and it's the far right people, people, everybody wants to say far left, far right, the left against Wall street. And then it's the right against the bankers. And they can't have that kind of unity because the truth of the matter is the root of all evil comes from the central bankers. They're the ones who have endless resources, endless power, endless control. You control the currency, you control the people. And by having endless amount of money, you control every narrative you want. So people have had it and the globalist days are coming. And you know, just, just never forget Charlie. Just never stop fighting.
Sam
Amen. Any other headlines, Dakota, you want to hear before we wrap?
Rick Delgado
Just real quick? Of course, vigils were all over Saturday night right here on Long Island. The people of thousands of people descended on your neck of the woods there, Paulie. Over in Seaford, the event called Light up the sky for Charlie. Here's a little bit of B roll of that cut number three. You can check that out. Was organized by Kevin Smith, the founder of the Loud Majority and advisor to the New York Young Republican Club as well. Billed as a solemn vigil for Charlie Kirk and his family following the assassination last week. And you can see just thousands of people showing up holding candles and chanting, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Again seen on Long Island. So Long island, you know, showed up as well, as well as all over the world, it seemed like.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Rick Delgado
And I don't know if you guys caught this. Our very own Ben Berkwam, he was down in D.C. at the Kennedy center. At the Kennedy center. And, and he ran into this kid. Listen to this quick little interview he does with this 14 year old boy who's online, who wants to go see who's online for the vigil, wants to get in cut number one, our own Ben Berkwam. Check this out.
Sam
Young man.
Aaron
You want to say why you're here, what Charlie Kirk meant to you?
Sam
He was my idol.
Paul Nolan
Like I remember watching his videos, wanting to be like him.
Aaron
Like I would just see the way.
Paul Nolan
He would debate and he was, stayed.
Aaron
Calm while the left was just yelling at him.
Paul Nolan
And he was just so nice about it. And then they hated him so much.
Aaron
Because he, he, he knew they, he knew he was right, but they just.
Paul Nolan
Didn'T want to admit it. So they ended up hating him, hating him and they just killed him for it.
Sam
What's your name? How old are you?
Paul Nolan
I'm Bryson Levy. I'm 14.
Jesse Garcia
And you're already.
Sam
God bless you.
Jesse Garcia
But where are you from.
Sam
I'm from here, Oakton, man. I pray a blessing on Bryson.
Aaron
Ah, this whole generation, Lord, raise them up, give them extra strength, extra power, wisdom and favor.
Sam
Lord, I just pray your angels, angel armies go with Bryson. Everywhere you go, brother, that God makes.
Aaron
You a man, a warrior for this generation.
Jesse Garcia
My man.
Sam
Thank you.
Rick Delgado
There's our very own Ben.
Sam
How good is Ben?
Paul Nolan
He's the best.
Sam
Incredible. That's a great clip.
Rick Delgado
That's all I got.
Paul Nolan
That was great.
Sam
All right, Slick, give us a little rap in sports. What, what else is worth knowing about that's going on tonight?
Slick
Monday Night Football right now. Game just coming down to the wire about 40 seconds to go in Texas. The Texans leading the Buccaneers, 19:14. Buccaneers on the move, 52 seconds to go in the fourth. Raiders taking on the Chargers in Vegas tonight. 10:00pm that game is coming up. And just a quick report tonight with tonight's game. The Texans, where we're talking about this game here, have pre game moment of silence for victims of violence, but don't mention Charlie Kirk. Armando Solgara of Fox News add the Houston Texans to the list of teams that used their home game during the NFL's Week 2 schedule to pause for a pregame moment of silence. Although the team's effort before the Monday night game against Tampa Buccaneers did not mention Charlie Kirk. And at probably 6:40 is when they, they did the broadcast and no mention of, of our, you know, slain Charlie Kirk. So really a shame there, but is what it is. Big D. That's a wrap in sports for tonight.
Sam
All right. So very good. I didn't really get to a ton of stuff that I had tonight and that's fine. I'm happy that Jesse Garcia came on and talk about some of the things we talked about with him. But I did, there was a, an article in the American Thinker today. Jim Davis wrote, charlie Kirk's assassination has galvanized our movement and it's really worth a read. I link to it on our social media and I think when we think about what the next six months, a year is going to look like into the midterms and then obviously Erica hopefully taking over TP USA and trying to continue to grow that as they continue to do their events, continue to do their college stores, continue to do their, you know, bigger events like they do in December and, and to speak to what the vice president talked about today, the galvanization of this movement and what that looks like, he actually goes back to one of Charlie's more powerful speeches that he gave to a group of Christian conservatives. And it really is quite amazing, the spiritual battle that the country is in his recognition of it being able to lay out the case very similar to what the vice president did, making the case, understanding the stakes. It is a fabulous read today. Charlie Kirk's assassination has galvanized our movement. It's on our social media. Get to it tonight, but check it out. So as always, we salute our military. Active, inactive police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, all emergency personnel, everybody that keeps the country moving forward, all our truckers, all our farmers.

Episode Date: Monday, September 15, 2025
Host: Sam, with panelists Paul Nolan, Rick Delgado, Slick, Aaron, Fran
Special Guest: Jesse Garcia (Chairman, Suffolk County GOP)
Notable Segment: J.D. Vance guest hosts The Charlie Kirk Show
This episode is a powerful reflection on recent political violence, specifically the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and growing polarization in American society. The team grapples with issues of unity, free speech, rising extremism, and the responsibilities and strategies of the Republican Party at both local and national levels. Key guest Jesse Garcia provides insight into New York political realities. The episode also features a moving, statesmanlike address by Vice President J.D. Vance, who honors Charlie Kirk and calls for truth and principled unity.
“...we may go down on bended knee for a moment, but we will stand right back up... we're a country and a nation first of Americans, before we have our party labels..." ([05:21])
"It is an attack on the first tenet of America, the first Amendment for right to free speech... Charlie Kirk was the victim of that." — Jesse Garcia ([09:20])
“...it was doctors, it was lawyers... it was everyday Americans... it was just stunning to see.” — Sam ([11:27])
“It was repugnant... a disgrace to call [Newsday] a journalistic source anymore.” — Paul Nolan ([12:51])
“We have six of ten towns are Republican... All those are in Republican hands right now.”
“We're raising a generation of kids... There’s no individual responsibility. There’s no individualism. It’s just government, government, government...” — Sam ([21:06])
“Every time the Republicans get in charge, and I’m sorry, now we hold them all. They never tackle it.” — Sam ([32:20])
J.D. Vance’s Address on The Charlie Kirk Show
[53:30–65:32] (and discussion after)
“This violence, it doesn’t come from nowhere. ...Not every member of that pyramid would commit a murder... But by celebrating that murder... many of these people are creating an environment where things like this are inevitably going to happen.” ([58:52]–[62:12])
J.D. Vance:
“I really do believe that we can come together in this country. I believe we must. But unity, real unity, can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth.” ([59:15]) “We can thank God that most Democrats don't share these attitudes and I do. While acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe. A minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far left." ([63:30])
Host Panel reaction:
“That may be one of the more consequential political speeches… we’ve heard in a long, long time.” — Sam ([72:12])
On Generational Change:
“Charlie Kirk was part of that and others that made that movement from the Democrats to the Republicans. We saw Donald Trump and Republicans grow in every demographic.” — Jesse Garcia ([21:32])
Reflections on Loss, Leadership, and Inspiration:
"These people shouldn’t be allowed in polite society anymore. ...You forfeited that right." — Rick Delgado ([80:21])
NFL & Sports:
Vigils & Public Solidarity: (97:11)
“...raise them up, give them extra strength...Lord, I just pray your angels...go with Bryson. Everywhere you go, brother..." ("Bryson," a 14-year-old fan at the vigil)
International Perspective: (92:28)
“...the estimates now are between 2 million and 5 million people...but by the corrupt media, to call this a hundred thousand is another example of the endless, relentless gaslighting..." ([94:25])
Cultural & Political Indoctrination: (78:45, 83:53)
“...these cells... will each work within their own spheres of influence. And at the appropriate time their influence will be used to fuse the groups together into a united front.” ([83:53])
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a ground-level view of how national trauma, political division, and hope for reform are playing out within the conservative movement. With first-hand testimony, stirring oratory, and unfiltered insights, the Studio 6B team makes clear: the fight for America's soul is very much alive—painful, but undeterred.
