September 11th Redux, 25 years later whistleblowers sound the alarm on Afghan allies. While the author of that headline, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krigorium will share the startling numbers and why Americans should be very concerned. And a shocking poll shows almost half of 18 to 34-year-olds seek democratic socialism as a positive thing for America. We'll have the takeaways from the Republican Party's midterm convention, was it a success or a bust? And what are the seven questions that will define the midterms? A brilliant panel of experts, Professor Pedro Blas Gonzales, IQ Al Rizoli, and Karen showing. It's all next on viewpoint this Sunday.

It is time to put away the bias, the lies and deceit, and bring forth real talk from real people about real news. Fighting the out loud truth and capturing the essence of a new generation all in a fast pace tower. This is Viewpoint this Sunday. Welcome to the weekend news magazine. Viewpoint this Sunday. It's Malcolm Allowed here and welcome to the broadcast, my fellow Americans. And busy few days around with the convention happening. On September 11th, September 10th, which is a lot happening in the new cycle. I want to get right to it. This headline caught my attention. I'm sure it will yours as well. September 11th, Redux, 25 years later. whistleblowers sound the alarm on Afghan allies. Let me get your attention a bit because there's a lot in there. And we're going to take that on as well as some other things that are very important here.

And by the way, the latter part of the broadcast, we have an incredible round table discussion. You are going to want to see every here every part of that with a distinguished group coming on to talk about the midterm elections and the political ramifications of what's what's developing there and the Iran business as well. It's all tied in there. That's welcome on here. Mark Kregorian is with us. He serves as the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. The EIS is an independent nonpartisan research organization, Washington, DC. And Mark is just saying to him, well, before the Mike Went Hot, incredible team he has there, which were really blessed and privileged to interact with many of them. And Mark is just at the helm of that. And just on you are the place to go to, buddy, CIS.org to get anything that is in this hemisphere of information on immigration. Good job, buddy. Thank you. Appreciate it. We strive to do, like you said, CIS.org. We have a blog with new postings almost every day.

And you can either learn a little bit or you can really get into the weeds on immigration at our site. And it covers an all angles of it and sides of it. So it's really good. And that's why I bring the team on here a lot to talk about these issues. This one here was a little out of the realm of things initially for you. And I thought this is going to be really good. We got to get Mark on talk about this. All right. So on the 2050 anniversary, 9-11, the question you pose is, has America forgotten the lessons from that attack? And you get into some interesting points here about it. But let's start with that question. Has America forgotten the lessons, Mark? Well, I think we've learned some and forgotten others. I mean, I didn't talk about this in this particular article. We'll get to that. But one of the recommendations of the 9-11 commission that looked at everything and tried to figure out how we could prevent it. Because we should have a check-in checkout system for foreign visitors. And so that we know who hasn't left yet. Because some of the 9-11 hijackers were visa overstayers.

Well, the check-in part really is a lot better than it was before 9-11. I mean, the government doesn't screw everything up. That's actually much better. But the check-out part, 25 years later, still is not really in place. And this suggests to me that there's a certain lack of urgency about a lot of things. Maybe we've learned the lesson, but the lesson is, yeah, we'll do it next week. What's the harm? What's the problem? We'll deal with it next year, whatever it is. So we have learned some lessons, but there's a lot left to do, frankly. Yeah. You say here, since former President Joe Biden's 2021 disastrous withdrawal, we've taken in more than 200,000 poorly vetted Afghans. Some of them were indeed genuine allies of the United States. Just as many in the visa lines in Saudi Arabia in 2001 were harmless travelers, but which ones? And you point out, though, as Congress considers the bills to bring in even more Afghans,

federal whistleblowers have come forward to ask, why would we admit more people when we didn't properly vet the 200,000 plus Afghans we've already let in? What was about that, please? Yeah. I mean, you know, a lot of people remember the 2021 with the, you know, the planes, people trying to get on the planes in Kabul and the suicide bomb attack at the airport in Kabul of the whole disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. We took something like 70 or 80,000 people out right away from the airport and then some more adding up to a total of 200,000 over the next couple of years. And we have no way to know who these people are. In other words, it's not just that they were poorly vetted. They were poorly vetted. But even if we vetted them and checked every, all the information that we have on them, what information do we have on them?

What do we know about these people? Nothing. People should have been brought to the United States. They should have been, if they were genuine allies who were genuinely in danger of their lives when the Taliban took over, we should have arranged for them to be resettled somewhere else, you know, where their life wasn't in danger. But in, you know, in an Islamic country where it wouldn't be the kind of culture shock and the kind of vulnerability for us that has been the case with all of these Afghans we've led in. And there have been multiple terrorist attacks by people who led in who were supposed Afghan allies. Yeah. Part of this problem is between the left and the right in our country, Mark, or is it? You tell me, but the way they, whenever, again, the government or anybody on the right, points these things out and their various groups, they're called that you're being prejudiced. They use those sort of terms. They use the language to push back on that and kind of call you out because the value

system is different on both. And that is part of the problem, isn't it? Oh, absolutely. And with regard to all these Afghans, that Congress wants to let in even more of, it's more complicated because the groups, or groups that are most active in pushing for it are actually groups of former American soldiers who served with them in Afghanistan. And so this isn't just a kind of crazy lefties wanting to let people in. The problem is that the people, a lot of the people who worked with us in Afghanistan and most of them were not out there risking their lives. They were, you know, file clerks and cooks and truck drivers, things like that. If those people were even vetted, they were vetted for the job that, you know, we needed them to do, they weren't vetted for compatibility with American society or, you know, agreeing with American values. And so it's one thing to say we have a responsibility to get some of these people out who are at risk

because of the assistance they rendered us. But it's totally a different thing to say, yeah, but we should let them move into Fairfax County, Virginia. These are two totally different things. You know, we are now having quite a bit of success in getting third country to accept deportees that aren't their own citizens. Right. Right. It would be a lot easier if we, you know, we did the same thing with Afghans and said, you know, okay, these people, they're in danger in Afghanistan, maybe, a lot of them aren't. They just get their, you know, their green card or American passport or whatever and then they go back to Afghanistan for vacation. But some of them are, well, there's a lot of Islamic countries in the world and we can make it worth their while to let them resettle. There's no reason they have to be brought into the United States, which is a risk to us. In some cases, remember almost a year ago was that attack on national guard soldiers in Washington, just a couple of blocks from the lighthouse where one national guard soldier

died and other was injured. But it's also a real culture shock even for the regular non-terrorists because they're going from, I mean, let's face it, an extremely primitive society into, you know, the 21st century modern West. And so this is not, it should not be bringing Afghans into the United States as well. That's a good point. And as you mentioned out in this piece, a lot of some of these characters, we need to vet them better for sure, but they're going back and forth, back and forth. And we don't know who they're, why they're doing that because they're not being vetted properly. And what have you? And you say here, let me get this out to just an interesting, you say whistleblowers report that federal employees were pressured to increase emissions. Get a load of this here. One government contractor has said to have hired more than 200 Afghan nationals to process cases involving their own countrymen. And you say, hardly, this is an unprecedented arrangement in US immigration programs.

Yeah, you could say a lot of things about that. But, and you wrap it up this way. That matters because the consequences of an adequate vetting are no longer hypothetical. Several recent cases show some Afghans led in as allies are willing to commit acts of terrorism, you know, making a second 9-11, a frightening possibility. And it's because, you know, we talk about the sleeper cells, we talk about other things that have happened, a combination of these people gathering from the four years of the open borders and everything that you had been reporting on there at Mark. And then with the problem you put out in this piece here, and you're talking about fixing the problem in this piece, you get right to it and talk about how to stop the 9-11 without being called names. And I think you hit on some pretty good pieces. Some that up real quick, fixing the problem. And I want to get to the other piece here quickly. What we can do? Well, I mean, the first thing is we have to not be taking in more Afghans. We need to do a better job of vetting any new ones we take. But most importantly, we have to re-vet those people who we've led in because some of

them now, this is now, what is it? Five years after some of them arrived, some of them will now be able to apply for US citizenship. And so they need to be prioritized to be re-vetted, have they gone back to Afghanistan, even if it's perfectly innocent. In other words, even if they went back just like for a wedding or something. Well, sorry, you're not in danger of your life. If you're hopping on a plane back to Afghanistan to go and visit, you go to your cousin's wedding. So we need to prioritize re-vetted all the Afghans that Biden and his fecklessness led in. Are you hearing any points that they might be doing that? Because Trump is pretty good at circling back on things. Do you hear anything coming about that or not? Well, I think so. I mean, the whistleblowers I'm talking about have spoken to a number of influential congressmen. This is an issue that people in Congress understand is real. So yes, I think that's going to happen. All right, real fast.

There's other piece. I just got to get it in the wire here. This is from the gentleman we had on last week, Stephen Comarata, who works with Mark McGarry and for him there. And just amazing fella. And the work he does, they really stand up guy. What we're going to give you now will shock you if nothing has yet. Since 9-11, number of immigrants from Muslim world has grown by 1.8 million from the Muslim countries. And the numbers can comparison to others. You say the immigrant population from predominantly Muslim countries grew from 1.7 million just a short while ago in 2001 to 3.4 million in 2024, 103 percent increased by comparison. The overall US foreign-born population only grew about 58 percent over the same period while the US population grew at a rate nearly seven times slower than the immigration population from predominantly Muslim countries. That tells you a lot. And we're talking from countries like Afghanistan. We're talking 476 percent of Afghanistan, 93 percent Pakistan, 41 percent Iran, Syria

109 percent. Let's see, Yemen, 416 percent and Somalia, Yemen, the numbers are staggering here. This is quite something. And in the years since 9-11 have seen a dramatic increase in the number of immigrants from countries where Islam is the dominant religion. This is where the eye-opener will come around us put together here, Mark. Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's in fact, it's like the exact opposite of what you would have expected because after 9-11, essentially, we increased Islamic immigration now or at least immigration from Muslim countries. Some of those people are Christians. But the fact is that it's not an issue of any individual Muslim coming here is therefore going to be a terrorist. Most of them aren't, obviously. But these are countries that either are hostile to us. The governments are hostile or they have real, they have powerful terrorist movements within them. The government can't control. How can we properly vet anybody, even just benign normal people from some of these

countries when we have no way of getting information? I mean, vetting is garbage and garbage out. If you know nothing about these people, except you're checking them against, say, interpol databases. Well, if they're just ordinary terrorists who haven't done anything yet, they're not going to be in any database. So it just would be prudent to take in far fewer people from the Islamic world and do a much more thorough job of vetting them both for terrorist ties, but even why I call cultural vetting to try to probe whether they think it's okay to throw gays off of buildings or whatever, kill people who leave their religion. Even those kind of people who maybe aren't terrorists, they're just regular ordinary working stiffs. If you believe stuff like that, we shouldn't be letting you in. You have no place in the United States. Go live somewhere else. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wow.

Mark Krigorian, CIS.org is the place to find out a lot more. Mark, thank you, brother. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Yeah. This is incredible. This report here.

OK, we joined you back here. On viewpoint this Sunday, it is milk-em-out loud here and privileged to be with you as always. My fellow Americans, welcome back to the broadcast now. I want to get right to it. Got a lot to talk about in this big production we're going to have right now. Let's welcome onto the broadcast here, please. Professor Pedro Blasconzalos is here.

He's a professor of philosophy at Bower University. Miami-Schemes, Florida. Professor he is a big sinker. The other thing about that I think you'll find about Professor Gonzalo is that he has a real take on the culture today and where they're at because he's still, he's an active professor and he's dealing with these kids. He kind of talked to me off here just a little bit now and had some interesting things to say about that. So we'll try to point some of that out to you all. I don't know that everybody understands really the fight here. So also joining me here from overseas coming to us from Europe is IQ. Al Rizouli is here. IQ is in a Rackie exile. She's an Arabic speaker, scholar, author, analyst and it just been a dear player here of professional with us for many, many years. IQ brings a perspective that is very, very unique in world affairs to be sure. And then also Karen's showing is here. And Karen's and we've been together a long time as well.

She's a Patriot educator, a journalist advocate. She's a lobbyist activist, a public speaker and she is the host of the prism of America's education on America out loud news and she does a hell of a job. I get compliments all the time when you're caring. I don't tell you about the compliments because I don't want to spoil your head Karen. You're ego. I just got some this past week from people saying, I listed it Karen all the time. I love her. So what time you are on on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. What time is it? Five? Five o'clock Eastern. Five PM Eastern time. Okay. Is the prism of America's education tuned in there. Karen always has very bright guests and she does well with stupid people. So she's got a lot of bright people that she brings on the program. That's a comment. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So let's start off now. And there's a very interesting poll I want to jump into from CNBC. It's a CNBC generation lab of poll.

This is very fascinating here. And the headline that they have here is that the CNBC generation lab poll shows almost half, almost half of 18 to 34 year olds see democratic socialism positively. Now if I read that line, I don't know, five years ago, maybe even two years ago, probably, certainly 10 years ago, I would never have believed it. Never in a million years. What I have believed that statement right there, that almost half. We're talking half. 47%. That is about half friends. So it's pretty dangerous. So here's where I want to start here. There's a lot of pushback happening in New York City right now. By the way, if you're not familiar with it with Montgomery. In fact, there's a fantastic piece on the weekend from the Dean Bowen, from the Dean's list. New York City residents push back against Montgomery's communist takeover. And just to give an example of this, now this is something a lot of you were questioned in the front here when this was happening because Montgomery was the first real world

exercise here of that magnitude, considering that New York City is our largest city in the country. If you consider that, that's a big deal. And 8.3 million by far is the largest city in our country. And so here's the thing. There's lawsuits that have been filed now from the multicultural business coalition and others. These groups and alpha profits and others minority owned, Bodega's, Delhi, supermarkets, et cetera, et cetera. Their complaint argues that mayor Zoran Mondami's plan to open city run grocery stores will destroy their businesses. They say it's engaged in antitrust violations and predatory pricing is where they start fascinating. We wonder where the shoe was going to drop on this thing. Maybe this is it. I don't know. So professor, let's say that Zoran Mondami's victory in America's largest city is the grand experiment for younger Americans.

And these are people you teach in school on a regular basis. How important is the success or failure of the socialist rise in New York City when you compare all the other hotspots that arise and upthraught our country? But this was kind of the first big test here. I would say the battle is on. What would you say? Yes, absolutely. New York City is the, excuse to phrase here, the ground zero for communism. It is what it is. They're doing very well in local communities and in different states, even in Texas, they're doing very well. But yes, absolutely. New York City is the big test. And it has to be crushed. And they have to, one of the techniques we have to use to get rid of these people is stop with the socialist, you know, democratic socialist business and just call them what they are. They're communists and totalitarians. That has to be shifted. That has to be shifted to the young people. Also the young people that Mandami is in fact, supposedly the base of that, that movement

or whatever that is, is a bunch of narcissists, people who have never had any difficulties. They've never been through a war. They've never been to a depression, an economic depression. And they're pretty boys and girls that drink five dollar coffees and a whole bunch of them living basements in their parents. And so they have to be called out to, as parasites of this system that is a communist system. Forget about the socialists, idealism. One of the techniques you have to use against these people is you cannot go idealistic on them because they destroy idealism. They see conservatives as idealists. You have to go realism with realism. It's kind of like the exercise say that you to do an effective exercise, you have to do evil with evil without getting into that. So you have to go realism with them and call them by their name and attack them for communism and totalitarianism. And that's an effective starting point. Yeah. Yeah. This could end up being potentially Karen, a blessing, possibly, if that's the kind of

an odd way to look at things. But the fact that this is all rising at once, you know what I call it Karen? It's sort of like whack-a-mole. It's all over the country. There's whack-a-mole as they keep rising these communist little stooges. And so maybe this is a blessing in an odd way to look at things that sees the light of day before it goes too far down the road in other words. And there is a takeover happening with the DSA clearly. And I want to ask you this, Karen, after Nancy Pelosi in the Democrat Party, the leadership has not been well-defined at all. I mean, after she departed the stage, they're having a hell of a struggle really finding a sort of leadership from what we see. Will the DSA succeed or fail and think about this now, Karen, and take it over the Democratic Party? Do they succeed or fail? I believe they've failed. They succeed for a short term. And in the long term, they will fail because their programs will fail.

And until we face to me what is the real issue here, and that are the unions and the media, and stop being afraid to call them out and stop being, as the professor just said, call them who they are, stop allowing them to define our terminology and use the correct terminology to point the finger at them and say, yes, you are this. And of course, as far as I'm concerned, our big failing is messaging. We're not messaging anything. We're falling into the trap of using the same talking points. And when you, as you know, Malcolm, when you do an interview, if you don't ask those follow-up questions, the interview is a waste of time. You've got to ask the people, who are we or when and why, and stop allowing them to define who we are and define who they are. And actually, on this point here, I need to get Professor back in here before I get

over to YQ. Hold on a moment here. Professor, I'm playing on what Karen says right there. I just want to mention, we communicated by text the other day, and I asked you if you had watched the RNC, and you said to me, and it's funny how we prioritize everything in our lives, you do the same thing I do, Professor. We only have so many hours of the day, and we have to prioritize. So it's just where it is. And so I asked that question, and you said, no, I didn't watch it, because I was busy, which we know is a bullshit excuse, but because we're all busy, we know that, we understand that. But here's the real reason you said it. But also because the RNC is naive about the fight she's in, and I thought, aha, there it is right there. You wanted to be busy. He just didn't want to give her a rat's patonia on what's going on. Explain that, please. Yeah, yeah, they are naive. And as Karen said, the talking points are pathetic. They're pathetic. They're playing to just being in the media and listening to their own voices. It's kind of like a cocktail party where everybody has a drink and they tell each other

lives. This is why I didn't watch it. I mean, it's enough for these people coming on and saying, well, say me my family and we're doing this. And then come on, you got to get the fight, the fire would fire with realism. And they are, they are pathetic. And some ways, some of them are just opportunists. They're not true conservatives. And they don't understand what they're about. They're about getting eliminated in a system that doesn't have a place for them. Wow, that's that's interesting. All right, IQ, Al Wazooly, I want to get a sense from you. IQ, give listeners a sense of what are people saying around the world? What are you hearing in different global circles about this rise of really communism in the US? What is it? There's a lot of most European don't understand what's happening in America. Literally, they have no idea what's happening in America except for the their own news media or they're still in them. That's it. And their news media is still in them live anyway. But when we discuss Mamdani, huge mistake is to associate him with communism and socialism.

Mamdani is a Muslim, not only a Muslim, but he is a Shi'a Muslim. That means he is of the same cult as the ones in Iran, the same. Attack him on Islam. It is impossible for a Muslim to be a socialist and a communist. That's their contradiction. Islam can never coexist with any other group. Ever. You bring about a very interesting point here, IQ, because there is a fight going on right now with the both the communists and the Islamists. It's a dual deal. What's happening now? Mamdani happens to be both. He happens to be both of them now. He pretends to be both. That's not the same thing. He pretends to be both. Because look, Homani got into power when he promised the communist and the students that he will share power with them. But the minute he got in, he exterminated them.

The same thing would be with Mamdani. He pretends to be a socialist. He's a multi-millionaire. How can he be a socialist? Exactly. You see his wife and what she's wearing and my wife was commented on that as well. Let me ask you then, based on what you see right now, and I started with telling you some of the pushback he's getting already in New York City. Not to mention the multitude of businesses and executives he has entirely pissed off who have left the community already. They're going to have massive deficits up here. What kind of time factor do you see before he fails or do you see him succeed in or does he fail and how long does it take in your opinion? He will definitely fail. He can't succeed. In Germany, as we are speaking, the AFD won the highest possible number of seats in their history. What does it mean? It means people are waking up through. They've been dumb for 30 to 40 years. But there is a point whereby it's an inflection point. People realize that they are becoming minority in their own country.

Okay. Now, thanks for bringing that up about Germany. Because I don't think a lot of people were so buried with crappy news here. We're not paying attention to the crappy news in Germany, keep in mind IQ. But what you just said is a big factor. The headlines that I was seeing on that was the extreme right. The far right, they went and made it as extreme as they could have taken over Germany. What was the fallout from that there? Who is accusing them of being extreme right? They seem left. So don't take these names. As Karen said, don't let the Democrats dictate the language. We have to dictate the language, not them. AFD is a patriotic movement. It could be a communist. It could be a fascist. It could be a... I don't care. They want Germany for Germans. They want a Christian country, not a Muslim country. All right. Don't be like the bottom line. Yeah. Very good point. Very, very good point. Do you watch any part of the two-day convention with Trump and the party there?

No. No. OK. You didn't either. You were too busy, too, huh? No. I just was interested. There you go. All right. That's my point. That's my point. You're lined up right with Professor on that. Karen, did you watch the two-day convention, please? No. You didn't watch it either. No. I'm tired of listening to the same regurgitation of lies. I want to stop you all and tell you this. I was the only turd on the program here who listened to part of that program, then. Shame on me, huh? I have to... Somebody had to. Well, I have to report on it. So it's kind of hard to report on something I don't hear or see. You follow me? I've tried that before. It doesn't work real well. I want to tell you, I get very annoyed with these politics as well. There's no doubt about it. And it makes your skin crawl half the time when you listen to these characters and what they do and say. And they all miss in a lot of opportunities. And this distinguished group here knows exactly what I'm talking about. I hope you all out there understand what we're talking about and being critical here in the way that we are.

But I have to tell you this in all fairness. Trump was on par. His communication of speeches were on par with the word incredible. I mean, he was, as Karen was speaking, as a communicator, it's pretty, pretty wild. But he had some amazing speeches there. But also, JD Vance did as well, by the way. And so did RFK Jr. had one of the best speeches of his lifetime. And if you ran his speech back, if you can go find RFK Juniors from that two day conference and listen and watch that place, it's on YouTube, it is worth the time. He, he, he barreled out the Democrat party. He went way down deep, talked about his uncle, father, relatives, the, you know, everything of that party was. And he tore them apart, limb by limb and destroyed them of that. It was, it was just incredible. His speech alone was worth the price of admission, RFK Juniors. The best 20 minutes it could spend, or maybe was 15, I don't know, listen to that program for RFK Jr. He was just absolutely incredible.

Anyways. So Trump at one point in this conference said to me, you know, he said, you know, the, the fake media, you know, the people in the back room, they're all those fake people. They're going to have the headlines tomorrow. He said about empty seats. Look in the stadium all around here at the top rafters. Look here, look here, look here, look here. There's not a seat open. He said when somebody goes to the bathroom, we try not to encourage two people to go, because then the cameras run over there with the media and they're like, oh, look, they're all leaving. He was incredible. Well, guess what? So he made front of the media and how that was going with the empty seats and all that. I swear to God to you. The next day and the next morning, the NPR, not exactly a fan of President Trump for a whole host of reasons. We don't need to get into here being defunded as one of them and their headline empty seats, socialism and Trump dominate the Republican midterm convention, unbelievable. He hit it head on, home run right out of the park, unbelievable. But you knew what to expect from them. These are despicable creatures.

I mean, to call them belief contempt is not enough. They are belief contempt. They are the enemies of American people. Yeah. They're not the fake media. They are literally the enemies of we, the people. Is that simple? That's a good way to put it, I can't argue with you. I don't think anybody here would argue with you on that point. NPR in this piece, I just want to mention here briefly here, they put out the fact that Trump is the biggest asset in getting out the vote, but he's also the biggest problem. They call it the greatest obstacle in convincing voters to keep Republicans in power. So it's kind of current. Do you see that as well being the best, the asset and the obstacle? Yes, I do. And the problem is the backup of the Republican party, which is almost nonexistent. And that to me is the biggest problem. I look at this like if the Democrats get in office, we have 100% probability of losing the country.

If the Republicans get in office, we have a 50% because some of them are just as corrupt as the... You're not a fan of... Are you or are you not a fan of JD Vance quick? I'm guessing, I didn't think you were, but I don't know. No, no. Okay, what about Marco Rubio? Your fan or no? Marco has turned around a lot and yes, I am more of a fan of him. I would say you better say that, young lady. Okay, well, I'm going to hitch the microphone off. He has really been very different from when I knew him and worked with him. Exactly. When he first got in office, I think he's doing a remarkable job. And I would like to see him go forward. Yeah, exactly. Professor Marco Rubio comes from your part of the world. And what's the general attitude of him, by the way? No, he comes from about two miles away. That's my general area. Yeah. West Miami. And so, yeah, no, the attitude is, as Karen said, he has matured tremendously from the time he was being called a little Marco and that kind of thing.

But he has matured tremendously. He's doing a very good job in terms of taking America forward. He understands the situation with Cuba and Venezuela and Iran. Looking forward, after Trump, he doesn't have the backbone that Trump has. Nobody does. They're going to have to imitate a little bit of that and get strong like that. If they're going to continue that line of the Trump right or conservative movement. Okay. Okay. Very interesting. Of interview, Marco Rubio, a couple of times on national radio. And that's when he was a bit of a putz back to what Karen was saying. And I agree with her wholeheartedly. I did not care for him back in the early days. He was very wimpy. I had to choose my words wisely here so I can remain a gentleman. But he had no backbone to put it nicely. Okay. And he was very wimpy and interviewed a couple of times. And I was really kind of against him early on. But man, his, he turned around. It's amazing how some people can change or not.

They'll send him what Trump, if you look at him back in the Democrat days, he was a bit of a buffoon. And he changed quite a bit. So people can change, right, professor? No, well, they definitely have to change at that political doggy dog world. If they don't change, they, they, they're in the wrong business. I could never do that because I'm just going to call names and we're going to go to fists. I, I, I couldn't, I couldn't do that. They have to do that and do it with, with, with some conviction that is ideological. Oh, man. Just speak of my language now, professor. I would agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why when I considered running for politics back before America out loud. About 15 years ago, I was at the fork in the road, Robert Frost, the situation. And I had to make that decision. Do I run for politics or do I use the media as a tool to make a difference in our nation? Because I was very unsettled, very uncomfortable in the corporate boardrooms. I just wanted to make a difference in the world and in our nation for sure. I did not choose politics for the reasons you just said, professor, for exactly that. Because they would have assassinated me on day two.

And, because I don't sell out. And so I get Trump. I get what Trump is all about. Some people don't, but I do understand him. And so, all right. I want to go right around the room with all of us here a moment. I got a couple of things I want to do here. In this NPR piece, and everybody understands who NPR is and what they say. So anyways, I want to frost the cake first with, they're the ones who put this message out. But it's interesting. And it's a way for us to decipher maybe our weaknesses and strengths on the right. They talk about the takeaways from the Republican Party's midterm convention. Now, you don't have to see that to know these problems. These are within the party itself. And Karen, let me start with you. I want to go real fast. So just take a few seconds. I want to get a sound bite from your comment. Because I got like a one, two, three, four, four of these points. I want to make out and then I'm going to get on to something else. Republicans have an enthusiasm problem. Do they have an enthusiasm problem?

Yes or no? And why, Karen? Quick. They have an enthusiasm problem. Yes. And that's because they can't message. And they're until they actually learn to speak the truth, use the right words. It's going to continue. And of course, we have the wimps in the Senate that will do nothing. So they're not giving the people a reason to go vote. OK, perfect. IQ, what do you say to that, please? They don't know how to fight dirty. They have to go to the same level or even lower than the Democrats to beat them. That actually came up at the convention, IQ. Trump actually said that, by the way. He said, oh, no, I'm serious. He had them all put their hands up and make a pledge. He really did. It was hysterical. You'd be on the floor laughing with this whole segment. He had them put a pledge up and put the hand up. And he went on to say exactly the point you were making. And said, listen, you'll have to get out of vote. Even if you have to steal or cheat or do something else and he started laughing, no, no, I don't mean that, but you know what I mean.

He said, fight the left back with the fight. He said, his point was well taken. I have to tell you. Well, I'm glad to hear that. He made the point you just said. And professor, he said, so what do you say with that? The Republicans have an enthusiasm problem? Well, they do ask Republicans as elected officials, not as conservative. They are in the way of a conservative movement, flowering in this nation, in education, in culture, in the magazine, in newspapers. These Republican people are blocking the conservative movement. Yeah. Isn't that so well said? I understand totally what you're saying here as a conservative, as a constitutional conservative myself. I totally give what you mean, which is why I lose my enthusiasm many times for both parties, for those reasons exactly. All right, the next one they pointed out is the rise of the isms. And this was part of the convention's message in to paint the party. And J.D. Vance did this really well. He calls them crazies. He said, the crazies on the left.

He calls it out in pretty good English back to your point, Karen, that you point that IQ was endorsing about the message in. I don't know. J.D. Scott had down pretty decently as far as the reference in some of those points here. But he calls them crazies. And Marx and talks about the rise of the isms. The Republicans are a danger to the, let's see, several speakers said that extreme left believes in policies that Republicans say are a danger to the American way of life, communism, socialism, Marxism, terrorism. In other words, NPR saying they're using those things to scare tactics, Karen, against the American people that none of that's true. And you say it is true. You're not scaring somebody if you're telling them the truth. And it is true. And my problem is, was the action. You can use all the words you want, but it doesn't matter because there's nothing behind it. There's no action. Where are the arrests? How are these people allowed to remain in Congress and say we're going to burn the American flag? What oath did they take? They certainly didn't take a note to the Constitution.

So why are they still there? And that's because the Republican rhinos are whims. And actually I even wrote a piece and I said, do they really want to win? I'm not even sure of that anymore. I think they might just be happy to go along to get along. And they're not looking at, you got to win. If you don't win, I mean, look at John Thune. That is a pathetic display of crushing a conservative movement that was on a huge rise and would have given them a majority for a very long time. And he's doing a wonderful job of putting a lot of toilet. So he has not been popular with a lot of conservatives to be sure. But hey, Professor, real fast, what do you think of Thune, John Thune? I never asked you that question. I don't know. I don't have any faith in these people. Ask Republicans. I'm no part of affiliate. I would droop from official being a Republican younger when I was younger.

I'm no part of affiliate. I will vote conservative. But they don't represent me. They don't talk to me. They can't get invited to my house. Oh boy. All right. All right. So the other point I want to get over to you, IQ, on this point here, now they say what war? What war? Trump campaigned on a promise of no new wars. But the war in the Rhinocelon gone with no resolution in sight. The conflict has led to higher gas prices with diesel going. Well, over $6 a gallon, which I did see, by the way, in the past couple of days when I was out on the road. And the price of crude oil is shooting to a near record high. So here's the thing. Well, let me get to this, IQ. The Iran war, based on what I share with you there, the timing on all this is uncanny, how this is all fallen where it is. Trump has come out in the past three, four, five days and he has made statements that said the war will not be concluded until after the election. Your energy and gas prices will not come down till after the election.

By the way, I'm going to send every adult a $5,000 and everybody's like, oh my God. I mean, what the hell? So I guess that's to make up for the high gas prices. I don't know. They didn't say that, but it sounds to me like that. Some people say he can't do that. It's unconstitutional. So he said, like hell, I can't do that. What do you say to all that, IQ? I agree with him. The whole point is the regime in Iran is expecting the Democrats to win. And they are right. They have the right to expect it. If the Republicans fail, they will. The Democrats will win. And the regime will remain. But if the Republicans win, all hope for the future of Iran. What are the Ayatollah regime, when this appears instantly? Okay. How is, in your estimation, IQ, again, at 30,000 feet here, maybe 50,000, how is it really going? How do you see this right now, please?

Look, it's going extremely well. You know, Americans in general are very stupid. I'm not kidding with you. I'm looking from the outside in World War II, five to six years. World War I, four to five years. This is only 60 days. Sixty days, what do you expect a result? Thirty people killed, thirteen people, Omaha have been two thousand dead. In one morning, Omaha have been two thousand, where they killed young boys. And they're complaining. Do they want an atom bomb in the hands of Muslims? Of the Ayatollah regime? Or can they survive a few more dollars on the gas prices? Which one do they want? Right, right. Put it directly. Which one do you want? Trump has done that. Trump has done that. Yeah, okay. But everybody in the government should be doing something as the same question. Yeah. All of them. Well, it's a good point you bring up. And I think people are not seeing.

And when the media phrases things like they phrase this right here, you kind of get a sense of why people are not so on top of these policies here. Yes, sir, they, JD Vance, he says, don't give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there like Iran. So he calls that a policy issue, this confrontation. But the point that he ran on no more foreign wars is a fact. That is a fact. He did run on that. And that is not what he delivered in that case. That could have really come back to hit him in a big way. And the Republican establishment in the midterms, JD Vance went on to say, look, I'm not asking anybody, everybody to agree with me on every single issue. I'm not asking everybody to agree on every single policy of the administration. What I am asking you to do is to recognize the contrast with the radicals and recognize the achievements of the last 18 months. Will this work? Can they phrase that in such a way that this gets through to the, to the popular to or

or all things lost coming into the midterms? I think they have to say that we thought that the world would be united against the fight with Iran and the world we found out is not united. Call out Canada, call out Germany, call out Spanish, the socialist communist in Spain. And say we thought we had a kind of united front here that's not happening because these countries are doing externally foreign relations, a destruction of the US like they're doing internally, which is one of the destabilization techniques of the left. So Trump is alone and he has to say we thought we had a united world, you young people must get united against evil. He should have a weekly fire saw. He did say, by the way, and I'm sure you know this already, he will be going out to, I think it's 35 or 40. I mean, he's going to be working his tail off in the next couple months. And I suspect you're going to see as much as much as Trump has you've ever seen in the

next two months. I think that's the backup. Where is the backup? That's to me is the problem. Where is the backup? And when he gets on stage and he says, John Thune, great guy, I, my head wants to explode, which is when I shut off the TV. Yeah, well, maybe, but you know, you've got to also a lot of people like in your case, like you care and have tuned it out. They're not really listening to what's because they're discouraged. They're not listening anymore. But a lot of them also are not happy with the war. Are you comfortable with the fact that we're in around and that the president took this on? Yes or no? I am very comfortable. And that goes back to the 47 years being Jewish and knowing what has gone on. And saying, no, this cannot continue. We cannot allow these people to get, have a bomb. They will kill us. As IQ said, these people, they have a goal. They tell us all the time, death to America. How many times do we have to hear that before we say, oh, they really mean it.

And they do really mean it. All right. All right. I want to bring this now to a head. Let's, I want to put this in a beautiful package with a tight bow on it. Okay. Gang, here we are here. When we talk about defining the midterms, Politico has a piece that I'm going to put in the post here, seven questions that will define the midterms. And these are real things that you have to sort of deal with that we've got to deal with. The first one is, will economic discontent blood out everything else? So real fast answers, I want to go right around the room here quickly. Will it carry, will economic discontent blood out everything else? It's the economy stupid. That's my answer. Yes, it will. I have a magazine called. It's the economy stupid. It's really it's in flipboard. That's why I have one like that. Professor, will economic discontent blood out everything else? Absolutely. The college graduates are not interested in any historical understanding, any knowledge, any God, anything.

It's just the economy. Yes. So when IQ you say, well, what's the matter with these people? Don't they pay attention? I think Professor Stain, they don't give a rat's ass about that. So what do you say about the economic discontent blood and out everything else? Well, definitely the economy, the condition of the economy will decide. Exactly what happened under the Reagan, exactly the same. The economy stupid. Well Reagan won the second term though. Correct. Correct. But he won, I hope Trump won the third term. I don't know. Well, no, but Bush is the better example because he said, well, read my lips, no new taxes. He did not do it well. A lot of people IQ are saying this whole Iran thing he should have started right after November, not before. Everybody is a professor. All your respect to Professor Pedro. All of a sudden they're all geniuses in hindsight. As Karen said, this war has been going on 47 years and it was started by Iran when they

occupy the American Embassy. Yeah, yeah. There is nothing to negotiate. Okay. All right. One other thing. Let me get to another point of these seven questions. Let me give you a moment. Can the GOP, which is the Republicans, by the way, make hay of Democrats swinging left, real far left. Can they? Yes or no? Well, again, they have to know they can make inroads if they fight them with realism and call them totalitarians. They have to call them totalitarian. Stop it. The syrupy socialist, democratic socialist. The syrup, the syrup. Yeah. So Karen, do you think they can they take advantage of that? That's a pretty big deal. This left swing. Oh, I certainly think they can. And they should. And they're not. That's the problem. They're not doing the big big. They're not doing nothing. They're not. They're not. They're not doing like they should. And I think we can all sort of agree with that here. And there's also these seven points I'm going to put in the post. I want you to go take a look at them.

Can Republicans dance the Trump two step? That's an interest in one right there. How will big money and dark money shape the campaign? These are really good points that are actually in this piece here. How high can a democratic wave crest? That's interesting. And a lot of the, remember now, the lot of the redistricted didn't go along well either with the way it should have gone to their left. I'm saying so they didn't get a lot of that there. So that's a bright spot. Is that not a bright spot, Karen? Oh, I think it is. But it should have gone further. And that's the sad part. I don't know where these Republicans are coming. What would you do? I'm going to do it real fast. I got like a minute and a half left. I want to make a prediction. IQ, make a prediction for me for the midterm elections. House, Senate, what happens, please? It depends on how they fight the propaganda. So what happens? If the demo is the Republicans don't put two sides of the equation. The list of items that have achieved under Republicans

and the list of items that did come into Islamists are trying to achieve. Put them side by side. I promise that we will. That's a great idea. It's a great idea. Karen, what do you say? What's your prediction for this midterm place? Oh, I think they have a good chance of winning. But they've got to tell what's true and what's going on and stop being afraid, stop putting the tail between their legs and is doing nothing. And give the people some hope, pass the Save America Act, do something good that the people want, give them a motive, give them a reason to go to the vote pool and vote. OK, perfect. Professor, wrap it up here, please. Wrap it up real quick. The Democratic Party is bankrupt. Where now the danger is how much of the dark money is going to come out of left field that people will not see, including the Republicans, and that could blind them to a loss because of the dark money and the corruption on the left. Wow, wow, wow.

OK, it hardly gets better than this, what you just heard, these three tremendous. It just doesn't really get any better. And Professor ended that way. It's very accurate with the dark money from the far left and whatever. Because right now they are bankrupt both morally and visibly. They have nothing left. They are literally in bankruptcy. Oh, there are a couple of million dollars down. Compared to the money that Trump and the Republicans have, this should be a slam dunk, because you can't do these things without money. But there's a lot of things happening here, as you can see now. It is a shell game, people. It's a shell game. Anyways, this was a great conversation, a terrific program. Visit us back at americaoutloud.news. Share the out loud truth, please. Get involved here, man. Get involved. Share it. Get stuff out there.
