Speaker 1 Sunday morning, quoting in well, the Speaker of the House nude Gingwich to me, he’s always the speaker. Well, you had a great meeting with the president on Thursday, you had to correspondence dinner on Friday. Well, let’s talk about what’s going on in our country. The big vote is the Democrats claim, well, can they win without cheating?

Speaker 2 I mean, you know, if you look at I think two of the most interesting things I wrote about this in Hinglishy Sisty. You’ve got New Jersey where the governor has had to announce that they’ve already found at least six thousand, six hundred people who were registered to vote who are not US citizens. This is of courses after

telling all of us that this didn’t really exist, there wasn’t really a problem. And I saw Markoyne Mullins, who’s the seuxury of the Partment Homelown Security, and he said he thinks they’re gonna be very embarrassed because he thinks they’re actually gonna be more than thirty thousand people that were registered who are not American citizens. Now, what makes

it doubly funny to me and some of the folks who are listening to has probably saw this on the internet. The Olive Garden has a special this year where for six hundred dollars you can buy all the pasta you can eat for the year, so you can really go back Olive Garden again and again.

Speaker 3 But to do that you have to have a photo ID. So in fifty.

Speaker 2 States you can go to Olive Garden and you can if you’ve bought this package, and you can get your pizza or you can get your pasta if you have a photo ID. So here are the Democrats who are against a photo ID for voting when the photo ID is now so common that even Olive Garden is using

it as a way of handling them, whether their sales promotion and makes it makes me wonder John, And you know, I don’t know what your thoughts are on this, but why are the Democrats so opposed to being able to identify who votes? And why are they so opposed to a federal bill that says you have to be an

American citizen to vote? I mean, what what is there with Schumer and with the Democratic leadership that they are just deeply opposed to two simple requirements. You have to be an American citizen and you have to be able to prove who you are with a photo ID. It’s amazing to me how hard they’re fighting against this.

Speaker 1 Well, Democratic voters themselves have voted, have polled at least sev that they’re willing need to use voter ID. It’s the leadership of the Democratic Party that’s afraid of losing.

Speaker 2 Well, then, but that’s what that’s. You know, we see this again and again, the American people voting most Democrats on a whole range of issues or on one side, and the Democratic leadership is basically anti American.

Speaker 3 Again and again.

Speaker 2 If you have an eighty five to fifteen issue, the Republicans and Independents and most Democrats will be for the issue and fifteen percent will be against it, and that fifteen percent will include all the Democratic leadership. It’s really a comment on how much out of touch they are with the American people.

Speaker 1 I agree with you one hundred and ten percent on that. The fact is, you know Biden, We both know Biden from twenty years ago, thirty years ago. The President Biden that we knew in the White House was not the Biden we knew. So who was really running the White House?

Speaker 2 Mister Speaker, Well, I’ve always assumed that Barack Obama’s team was really good. The people behind the scenes all came up through Barack Obama, and that if you really looked at you know, who decided on pardons, who decided on policy, it.

Speaker 3 Was clearly not Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 I agree with you.

Speaker 2 I negotiated with Biden in the eighties. I mean I knew him as a senator. I knew him when he was chairman of the Farm Relations Committee.

Speaker 3 He had just.

Speaker 2 Simply gotten to a point where he wasn’t there anymore. He was the guy we knew has aged out and simply was incapable of running the government.

Speaker 1 That’s why I’m not going to blame Joe Biden, but the FBI or whoever the powers may be should find out who was in charge, because somebody deserves to go to jail.

Speaker 2 Well, you know, I agree with you that the American people deserve to know for four long years.

Speaker 3 Who was in the room making a decisions.

Speaker 2 Now could be the it was Jill Biden, because if you go back and you look, for example, when Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, his wife basically ran the government for about a year that right after World War One, I mean, he literally was incapacitated, and they wouldn’t let anybody in the room except the doctor and his wife.

Speaker 3 And she basically made.

Speaker 2 All the major decisions the amazing period.

Speaker 1 I think Jill wanted to preserve her position as first Lady and used the corporate jet. I really think that other people were in charge. We’ll find out, mister speaker, We’ll find out someday.

Speaker 2 That’s right, that’s exactly his history will catch up with him.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much for coming on this Sunday morning, and God bless you. God bless America, and thank you for continuing to speak out for our country.

Speaker 3 Great take care,
