Welcome to another episode of Breaking Battlegrounds with your host Chuck Warren. I'm Sam Stone. As always, jumping right into it with our first guest of the day, Jeff Mordock is a friend of the show. He is the White House reporter for The Washington Times. You can follow him on Twitter at Jeff Mordock. And Jeff, thank you so much for joining us once again. Welcome to the program. Thanks for bringing me back. I appreciate it. So Jeff, it's New Year's Eve, clock strikes midnight. What has happened so far this year that you did not have on your bingo card?

I think a lot. I think one of the things I did not have on my bingo card would be that President Biden would start leaning towards President Trump's policies. Yeah.

I think you look at immigration, you look at his support of tariffs. It seems like he is now shifting to adopt a lot of policies that that he had criticized in 2020 that we now not only see him championing, but trying to claim has his own. That's yeah. No, you know what? That's a really that's really good insight. It's a great insight because it's true. So Biden went this week and accepted Trump's offer. Let's call it what it is to do debates. Right. Do them early. Right.

What do you think about that? And should Trump demand a drug test an hour before the debate to see what they got Biden on? I well, I think everybody should should give into a drug test. I think that would be it. I think I think that would just up the stakes just a little bit. I think it's interesting. I think I'm honestly surprised. I did not suspect that there would be a debate today.

This year, I was somewhat surprised that the campaigns agreed to do that. And I think for Biden, after resisting for so long, I think it's a tacit admission that he knows he's behind and he knows he needs to make up ground and sees this as his best way to make up ground. It's very interesting that they're scheduling these so early because it gives time on either candidate, any kind of blunder, any kind of mistake,

There's still some there's plenty of months to recover from that. Whereas if we had this on the traditional debate schedule, a bad debate could really wreck your chances. But now we're going to have a debate in June and then we're still getting both of these candidates and audience at the conventions right after that, which after that can make the June, you know, make no not sure anybody will remember the June the June debate after those conventions.

That's a good point. Do you think it's valuable being here in Arizona? Our election day effectively occurs 30 days before November. Is it valuable to move these up in general? I mean, this to me, this is a precedent that maybe should be considered going forward in the future, because unless states get rid of this voting month routine.

We're not giving voters much time with a lot of the candidate debates across the country to make a decision, or they may have made it before they after that debate may occur after they've cast their ballot. I completely agree. I think I think it's better to have. And also, I think they should have more of these debates. But, yes, I think it is more helpful to have these earlier debates.

As you said, voting isn't what it is. It's not what it was where we all run out the same day and cast our ballot. We now can do mail-in ballots. We can do early voting. We can do all these things that we weren't able to do decades ago. And I think, you know, the debate and the campaigns need to adapt to that. And I think that's largely what we're seeing here. Let's say you were in charge of the Presidential Debate Commission and candidates were agreeing to their slate voting.

What debate, how many debates would you have? I've always said it would be really fascinating to do issue-specific debates. Like foreign policy. Yeah. Yeah.

I agree. I think, one, I think it should be issue debate. I also am not a fan of having audiences in debates. I think it turns it into a reality TV spectacle when you have people start to boo or cheer. And also it increases the likelihood that we're going to see campaign plants, which I think we've seen at a lot of these debates in the past few years. That would be one of the – if I were to reform debates, that would be one of the first things. I kind of like that I think these debates, they're not going to have audiences. It's going to be the moderators. I agree. I agree.

I think that's a really good thing. I think we're worse for having an audience in there. And then you look, you know, like, look what happened to Ken Bone. You know, he sort of became this folk hero, and then his past wasn't,

wasn't what people hoped it would be. And then he sort of became a punchline. And that really wasn't fair to him. I kind of big believer in getting getting audiences out of these debates. One hundred percent agree with you. So Biden's basically blocking the release of the special counsel interview, at least the transcript, the audio. It's obviously a political stunt by Republicans. And it's obviously Biden's admission that this doesn't sound good on audio. Well,

What am I missing on it, or is that basically the facts? That's basically the facts. The one thing I would note is if you look at these in the past, when you've seen lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, you look at Bill Barr with the Mueller report. I almost called it the Her report, the Mueller report. You look at Eric Holder with the Fast and Furious report.

Congress usually gets what it wants. It's the length in which it takes for that to happen. I believe Congress got all the details on Fast and Furious long after Obama had left office. Trump was sort of out the door when Congress got parts of the Mueller investigation that they had been asking for. Congress will get this at some point. It's just a question of the wrangling and the fighting and how long that it takes.

but yes it's really interesting how much the white house keeps balking and they keep waiting to the transcript has uh... has a point of transparency i will we release the transcript but that doesn't that's not enough you you've got to hear what he's saying you know for example the p_o_ the president came out and said it was uh... it was robert her who brought up uh... though though by the staff that we were to the transcript it's not

it would be helpful to say, you know, we don't have how many pauses there were. If the president paused a lot more, he was thinking of something or we don't necessarily have, if there was kind of a, he's struggling to think of the right word. It may be tries a word, uh,

starts a word that isn't correct and then we don't have any of that. The audio would be really helpful for all of that reason. And it's not enough by the White House to say we released the written transcript. Well, yeah. No, because it's like people misinterpret text messages all the time. I mean, you and I have a conversation and you may be in a hurry and I say, hey, let's go do lunch. You go, fine, or sure.

You know, most people, some people take that as being very like, why are you mad? Right. That's not what you meant. That's not the tone of your voice. So Mr. Herr, before he resigned from the Justice Department, said that he felt the audio recordings were important. So people understood how he came to his conclusion. And I just think I just think this just feeds into that for Biden. Unfortunately, the press will cover it up completely. They won't they won't stay on this.

Well, you know what I find really interesting about this, to your point, is there's a lawsuit ongoing in the federal court to force the Biden administration to release the audio recording. The lawsuit was filed by two conservative watch groups, Judicial Watch and – that was the other group. I apologize. I'm blanking on the other group right now –

But Judicia Watch and another similar org. Exactly. I apologize. It just escaped my head. No worries. The only news outlet that joined that was CNN.

It's the only news outlet that joined that lawsuit. It's CNN and these two conservative outlets. Look at the lawsuit for the unredacted Mueller report. I mean, that had all the news outlets, all the major news outlets had gone in there. We only have one news outlet, which is CNN, which also shows what strange bedfellows it makes. Because when are you ever going to see CNN and the Harris Foundation sign up for the same thing? Well, kudos to CNN for putting their name to that, quite frankly. Yeah.

Yeah. And they're the only organization that has, which shows to your point about the media and not not caring about its release that nobody else signed on to this. Well, I'm going to give one credit. I saw a tweet yesterday from NBC News political editor, main political reporter saying that.

they should release the audio. So maybe NBC will be jumping in on this as well. I was quite surprised, you know, if you go click on it and see who it was, I was quite surprised that he was so vociferous about saying we need to do this. So hopefully more come. I mean, it's just like all Biden things. From that to Joe Biden taking inappropriate showers with his daughter that they have now said, yes, this was in my journal. I mean, it's always a quick dump and then ignore and go to something else.

Well, and it's amazing how much those dumps happen. Look at the report on Israel last week. That was, what, a 5 o'clock on a Friday in a summer weekend? The weekend right before that was the president decided to abandon his plan to ban methyl cigarettes because that was going to hurt his standing in the African-American community, which is...

not good right now is standing there. So it's really amazing just all around how many news dumps you see and just how many things get just wiped, get just swept under the rug.

Absolutely. We have just about three minutes left before we go to break here. So I don't want to dig too far down into any rabbit holes. But can you talk a little bit about the piece you had out on Democrats protecting Biden from Chicago protesters by denying permits? What's going on there for for voters who, again, may not be getting informed by lots of other news outlets? Well, it's really kind of interesting. So.

So Chicago is really the Democrats are really in a panic that these protests are going to overshadow the president's message in Chicago.

And what they're trying to do, and they're also trying to avoid having something like happened in 1968, we have this confrontation between these police and these protesters. So what the Chicago city is doing, city officials and the mayor are doing, is they're denying permits, and then they're willing to issue them other permits as long as the protest in other parts of the city that are far away from the Democratic convention. It's like

They're moving them out to Aurora, Illinois, is essentially what they're trying to do. They're trying to get them as far out of the city, and then they're trying to shorten it, and it's really an interesting way of—

Yes. Yes. It's it's that that's exactly what they're trying to do. And it's it's fascinating that they've, you know, that these groups even curtailed their application, their permit request to for shorter routes, but to still stay along the Miracle Mile, still stay along the mainstream streets where the hotels and the convention goers are going. And.

No, they keep getting denied. But you can go you can go protest, you know, over by over in the neighborhoods nobody goes to. You can stay there and protest. But I mean, I think I think it's three miles away from the convention is where you can even start to protest to show you just how far they're pushing them back.

Well, outside walking distance for most protesters. Exactly. I sort of I sort of have to admit I admire the chutzpah of it. It is such a blatantly anti-democratic act for a party that is focused on, you know, quote, democracy for this election.

It is really kind of an astounding dichotomy to me. But OK, we got to go to break here now coming up. Folks, you can follow Jeff Mordock's work on Twitter at Jeff Mordock dot com. Breaking Battlegrounds. We'll be back with more in just a moment. Stay tuned.

OK, continuing on with Jeff Mordock, he's the White House reporter for The Washington Times. You can follow him on Twitter at Jeff Mordock. Before we went to break, we're talking a little bit about what's been going on with the convention and the convention.

the protection that Biden is receiving. The basement strategy. Basement strategy. Moving to something else that is also protectionism in a different way, Biden has been embracing tariffs on Chinese EV solar components, steel, aluminum, and semiconductors. Jeff, you've covered this. Like you alluded to at the start of the program, this is really an embrace of a Trump strategy that

Although it's a little bit deceptive because they're cutting tariffs on components while adding them on, for instance, finished EVs. So it's kind of trying to play both sides of the fence. Can you explain to folks what's going on with all of that right now? Well, in terms of...

Well, in terms of why the president is sort of embracing these policies that he once criticized, it's essentially he's trying to out-Trump Trump on issues that he views the president has the advantage of. And one of the reasons is that, you know, because during his administration, the president was former President Trump was such a had imposed such pressure

so many tariffs on China, you now have the president, you know, president Biden trying to also come across as, um,

come across as tough on China and trying to... So immigration is another example of that, where the former President Trump clearly has the advantage. And you see President Biden starting to try to adopt some of his policies last year or try to earlier this year. So it's really an interesting way that how this campaign is looking for ways in which

President Trump has an advantage and then trying to trying to almost copy that or take control of the issue. Doesn't in some sense what they're trying to do with the protesters at their convention follow that, too, because we've kind of been told that they need room to riot since 2020. And now all of a sudden, apparently they don't.

Well, it's interesting because if you look at, and not to get off the tariff topic, but back to the protesters, you can have free speech, but the White House, President Biden's giving a speech at Morehouse University on Sunday. He's giving a commencement speech. They dispatched officials to Morehouse ahead of his speech to try and get protests under control and basically beg them, what do we have to do to get you not to protest? Right.

So they support free speech unless it's going to interrupt President Biden's commencement speech. Then we've got to dispatch a bunch of officials down to Atlanta to try to. If we looked up hypocrisy in the dictionary, Joe Biden's picture would be there. It's amazing. Do what I say. Don't do what I do. How he pursues life. It's incredible. It's rotten. Well, you can connect that back to the tariffs because you look in 2019, 2020.

how much President Biden trashed President Trump's tariffs. He said they were going to be inflationary. They were going to harm consumers. He wasn't going to support them. It wasn't going to do anything to get China under control. Now he's doubling down on them. And you kind of knew this was coming because all the tariffs that President Trump had in place in his administration, President Biden vowed to undo immediately.

And now here we are heading to the election. Not only has he never – not only has he left them in place, he's now doubling down on them. It's incredible. The other thing Biden seems to just continually repeat over and over is just false economic facts. For example, inflation. It was 9% when I came in office. It was only 1.8%. I looked up some of these –

these rates when he comes in because he's claiming we have the best economy. And I rebuilt it sort of like, you know, it's my airplane, Air Force One. You know, for example, in 2020, April, at the height of COVID, we had a 14.8% unemployment. If you had workers that are misclassified, it was 20%. By March 2021, and you got to give Trump credit for the first three months of the economy after Biden takes office, it was 6.1%. Mortgage rates,

In 2021, we're 3.1%. Now they're 7.746%. I mean, it goes on and on and on these records, but he keeps repeating that I built this when there was clearly momentum going. How long can he keep doing it? Just forever? Just keep lying about it and get covered by it?

Forever, because you've got to look at this in a bigger perspective than just the economy. Look at all of the things that he has said that have been debunked.

that he continues to say that don't have anything to do with the economy. I mean, when he says now inflation was 9% when I came in, which isn't true. It was 1.4% when he came into office. It was 9% in June of 2022, so about a year and a half into his presidency. So that's not true. But look at – I mean, he talks about just things like –

The story he tells, I'm sure you two are familiar with, about how this Amtrak conductor and him had this conversation about how many miles he flew on Amtrak. And it turns out, well, this gentleman died before President Biden was vice president. Talking about his uncle and cannibalism, that he was on 9-11. The day after 9-11, he was at the World Trade Center wreckage. All of these things are stuff he doesn't need to lie about.

And he continues to lie about it. And I've actually asked this question in the briefing room, and I didn't get a question for several weeks after I asked the question because – oh, don't get me started on the politics of the briefing room. What I don't understand here, when he says these things, does he believe it happened? Right.

Well, yeah, go ahead. It happened. Or is he just knowingly lying about it and thinking we're not going to because it's only one of two things. Either he really believes things that happened didn't happen or he's knowingly lying about it and nobody's stopping him. There's only two choices. Well, it's like the old Seinfeld clip where Jerry's trying to have George teach him how to lie.

And George goes up to him and says, if you believe it's true, it's not a lie. And I think he is. I think he's that. I think I think maybe RFK doesn't have the worm in the brain. Maybe it's him some days because I really think he believes this stuff. And I I've often wonder Sam and I are talking recently. I can't imagine sitting in a private conversation with him and listening to him spin all these stories.

I mean, we're getting a little bit of it. Can you imagine what he's like one-on-one in a group of people? Well, here's something I've wondered. Do you guys know, and I'm not a medical doctor, but do you guys know what confabulation is? Yeah. So confabulation, it's sort of in elderly people when they have a hard time

remembering facts, their brain starts to pull together other facts that may not have happened, but it's sort of they think it kind of matches. Like, for example, with the cannibalism story, his brain knows that there were cannibals in New Guinea. Correct. His brain knows that he had an uncle who crashed over New Guinea and he put the two and two together, even though there's no evidence for it. And I really wonder if that's what's going on with him.

That is a fantastic point, Jeff. My father, who's at a similar age, often conflates events from his life and his brother's life. There you go. You know, it's same thing. We have just about 30 seconds before we come to the end of this segment. Jeff, thank you so much once again for joining us. Folks, you can follow Jeff Mordock.

And I'm looking forward very much to talking with Bernie Moreno coming up here in the next segment. But first we have to talk about something. I was I was in Ohio this last week and driving across the state stopped in a convenience store and I walk in and get in line at the counter. I'm the first person and the woman behind me.

The woman in front of me at the counter is throwing an absolute rage fit on the cashier. The person making $15, $16 an hour doesn't run the store, just is at the cashier. And in the entire issue, I obviously got a full description of the problem standing there. Eavesdropping. Eavesdropping. You did not need to do any actual eavesdropping.

Everybody heard all the way back to the ice section. No, absolutely. I was near Cincinnati. They heard it in Columbus. OK. And the woman's issue was she was trying to buy a 25 cent candy, you know, one of those little individual wrap candies, not the thing. So she could get 40 bucks back cash back. And the cashier is like, I can't do that. You have to have a minimum purchase of ten dollars to get cash back.

And this woman will not let it go. She's had a meltdown. She's throwing him. Yeah. Total meltdown. And I'm like, I'm standing there. I'm like, he can't do anything. No, he has no authority. He has no authority, no ability to fix this. So this and this went on for a good 10 minutes. Now, I got to get gas, which I've like no choice. I got to stand there until we're done. But this just brought something up to me. The way people are treating retail employees these days. Oh.

is absolutely offensive. It's people have just, I just feel like there's a chunk of people, it's probably a majority, just walking on the edge all the time. I mean, just mentally walking on the edge. There was a quote years ago from a gentleman named Neil Maxwell said, the world is full of walking wounded.

And I feel like the tiniest inconvenience, the tiniest diversion from their plan, her plan was to go in, spend whatever on this candy bar or whatever. $0.25 or whatever it was and get $40 cash back for whatever. It's like also she's never been to a convenience store because the most you can get, most of them is $20, $25. Right. Right? So it's like she's never been. She wants to have been it. This poor $15, $16 an hour person has no ability to change the cash register program.

Right. Or the merchant account. I mean, it's just, it's not in their capacity. There's nothing they can do about it. It's doing that. And I think that's why, too, you're starting to see a revolt as well. There's a real negative view on tipping. I know in 23, there's a poll that 66% of Americans have a negative view on tipping now. I don't think people had that view 10 years ago when you just go in a restaurant and give 10%. But now you see, when you go in a restaurant,

20, 25, 30. I even saw 40% the other day. Yeah, I have too. I actually saw one in New York that was 50%. And I go to the protein house, which they don't provide service. You order. You order at the counter and you pick it up. They have it there. It's 15, 18, 20. Oh, no. It's 15, 20, 25%. Yeah.

And I hear – it's one of those things that I've never asked for, but people give their unsolicited opinion on tipping all the time now in group settings.

It's incredible. I think it does add to the negativity of those type environments that people feel on edge that they're being asked to tip all the time like that. Like, I do not mind. I have never had any objection to tipping somebody when I'm in a sit-down restaurant and they're, you know, a waiter serving me. Or if someone comes in a moving company or something. Right, right. Whatever. You know, taxi cab driver, no problem. If someone's providing an actual service.

But if you're basically, you're having me put in an order on a machine, you're turning around and putting something on the counter, no, I'm sorry. That's not a tips-worthy service. But the problem is, if you're a person with any conscience...

You feel the pain. I feel horrible, right? Like, I need to do the 15% on my shake, right? Or the bottle of water. I guess we need to give 10%. It's like they do it at all the – as you know, I am season ticket poor. All the sports stadiums, I mean, they just do it all the time now for like a hot dog vendor. Like, dude, you're giving me a hot dog that you cooked five hours ago. It's in aluminum foil. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. But people need to go and check their –

crappy attitude at the door and realize at the end of the day, these people are just doing their job. They didn't ask to get the crap kicked out of them doing it. Look, it's a tough job. I don't know how anybody hires for that job anymore because obviously it's not a high paying thing. But more to the point, people chill out, chill out. Just go in, get your thing, leave. You don't have to throw a fit if they don't have a soda you want.

I've just never seen anybody when you tell somebody to chill out, chills out. No, it doesn't work, does it? Try that on your wife, fellas. Breaking Battlegrounds back in a moment with more terrible advice.

Welcome back to Breaking Battlegrounds with your host Chuck Warren. I'm Sam Stone. Our next guest up today is going to be Bernie Moreno. He's running for U.S. Senate in Ohio. Bernie was born in Bogota, Colombia and moved to the United States when he was five years old. Officially became a U.S. citizen at 18 and purchased his first car dealership in 2005. We're going to be touching on that a little bit because I think it's a fascinating story, fascinating background. But first, folks, let's talk about Bernie.

Well, Bernie, you have 16 priorities you've listed on your website. The first one is empower parents to make education choices. This morning, Joe Biden gave an address to the NAACP and he said his focus is on providing the best education for these children. But yet the man opposes school choice over and over and over with just a great enthusiasm. What are your comments on that?

Well, the Department of Education was created, as you know, under Jimmy Carter back in the late 70s. It's unconstitutional, should never have been created. We're going to get rid of it next year when we take over the reins of government. And we're going to put responsibility back in the local communities so that moms and dads

are in charge of what their kids are being taught, but we're actually teaching them and not indoctrinating them. The federal oversight and control of our schools has led to what we're seeing on college campuses, what we're seeing that we're falling behind in math and science and reading. We're going to get this country back on track, and it starts with making sure that we actually educate our kids. You know, I heard someone the other day bring up a really good point in that front when talking about the Federal Department of Education saying,

They were having an argument over it with someone who supports kind of the union approach to education. And they asked a question this person couldn't answer, which was name one thing that's gotten better since we created the federal – name one thing in our schools that works better now. I certainly can't, Chuck. Can anybody? Yeah.

No, you look at objectively, everything's worse, right? The cost of education is through the roof. The results in our colleges are abysmal. You look at these kids protesting in favor of Hamas. They're pro-terrorist protesting. They're calling for the death of Jews. And what does Sherrod Brown want? He wants us to pay off their college debt. That's how insane this is.

and we have to fix it. For us to be competitive on a global scale, we need a strong, vibrant education system that's led by parents, that's led by mom and dad at the local community level. - So, for the listeners of this show, why Bernie Marino versus Sherrod Brown? What will you do different than what he's done since he's been a lifelong politician? - Well, he's a lifelong career politician. He ran for the first time when Nixon was president.

He graduated from Yale University with a major in Russian studies and has been on the taxpayer dole his entire life. On the other hand, I've worked my entire life. I created businesses that provided opportunities for people. And now I'm running for the U.S. Senate because I'm concerned about this country. I think we have to go back to the model that our founders envisioned, which is do something in the private sector, go to D.C. to serve and then come home. I will be there if I have the honor of being elected.

for two terms. My wife, by the way, makes it a little bit more clear. Third term, second wife. So this will be a two-term pledge. So there's no ambiguity there. So I think that's what you have to get back to. And it's very simple. If you like

life under Joe Biden, if you think the country is in great shape, if your life is in great shape under Joe Biden and Sheryl Brown, then you're probably not going to vote for me. If you prefer to go back to the policies of Donald Trump, where we had low interest rates, low gas prices, low inflation, peace and stability around the world, a secure border, energy independence, then vote for me in November for the United States Senate. Absolutely. We're talking to Bernie Moreno, candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio.

Uh, folks, you can catch us there on Cincinnati 55 KRC radio 6am on Sundays. Uh, but Bernie, before we, we move on from this, I was looking at your 16 point platform in one of the things you just touched on your, your guy built businesses. That's a no nonsense thing. You can't kind of fudge around when you're building a business. You don't talk in political terms. You don't

communicate the way a lot of politicians do. One of the planks in that platform is beat communist China. And I love that because it's so clear. But tell us what that means, because I think we've gotten away from understanding what having a geopolitical adversary really does for this country and the world. I think President Trump laid it out pretty well. Our leaders are stupid.

We're not negotiating with China the right way. We've let China absolutely pick our pockets. And then what we did is we gutted the middle class in America and built the middle class in China. If you look at places like Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown, Lorraine, Akron, these are great, thriving American manufacturers.

manufacturing centers. We're going to get that back. The way we do it is by becoming an energy-dominant country. That means coal. That means natural gas. That means oil. That means nuclear. We're going to drive down the cost of energy. We're going to make certain that these companies can rely on that. We're going to have a good workforce. We're going to stop shaming people into thinking if they don't go to college, they're a bad person. We're going to invest in trades so that we have a vibrant workforce for trades. We're going to have

legal immigration that works for this country that doesn't drive down wages, zero tolerance for illegal immigration. We're going to have a tax policy that encourages growth and a regulatory policy that doesn't choke businesses. You know, right now, if you're a small business in this country, it's really hard because the government is

all over you. We're going to make certain that any new regulations means two or three regulations have to be eliminated. And we unleashed the engine of American prosperity. We're going to stop forcing people to buy electric cars. We're going to stop forcing car companies to make cars. People don't want allow the markets to work. We do all those things.

We can become a strong economic powerhouse that will allow us to compete with China. And China's got to understand that if they get out of their box, there will be ramifications. Right now, they don't. They take us for granted. They disrespect us. They have no absolute believability that America will stand in any way whatsoever.

its own interests. Well, the one thing China and Democrats have in common is that whatever deal you make with them, to them it's not a deal. It's just a starting point for their continued efforts. They don't make good faith deals. Bernie, as you've gone out and met with voters,

What has been the message to you? Joe Biden lives in this ivory tower economic bubble. He's never had to provide a paycheck for anybody in his life. He's never had to come up for money for a paycheck in his life. But as you meet people, how has Biden inflation affected their household budgets?

Oh, absolutely. By the way, Sherrod Brown is so different. This is a guy who grew up in a wealthy family, like I said, went to an elite university, never worked a day in his life, a product of D.C. where you get a driver, an assistant, people managing his schedules. He doesn't pay for travel or meals. He gets his whole life paid for by the taxpayer. He's completely out of touch. You know what I find is the issue that really affects people? Go have fast food like I do.

Like I'm sure like you guys do, you know, I'm a pro. I love going to Taco Bell, McDonald's. I eat my meals at 11 o'clock at night. There's not a lot of good choices, but you look at what, you know, you used to be able to buy a quarter pounder of cheese, a medium fries and Oreo McFlurry, you know, a meal of champions for five bucks. Now it's 12 or $13. And a minimum. And for at a minimum. And so now you look at it and go, it's a luxury to go.

to go to McDonald's in this country. But then we have our leaders spending hundreds of billions of dollars taking care of people who aren't even from this country, who broke into this country illegally. They're getting everything paid for and Americans are getting absolutely crushed. Let me tell you, the voters have had it. They've had it with politicians that will side with illegal immigrants

before taking care of Americans, that's what's gonna change. Fundamentally, that's what putting America first means. - How does illegal immigration, how does the southern border that is wide open affect voters in Ohio?

Well, it drives down wages. It drives up costs. When you have apartment complexes that are full of illegal immigrants, right, it's going to drive up rents. When you have hospitals in Springfield, Ohio, that spend 20, 25% of their budget giving free health care. By the way, you and I have to pay deductibles. You and I have to pay for co-pays. They get...

all of that for nothing. We are paying the bill. It drives up the cost of insurance. It drives up the cost of everything for Americans, right? So this, on top of the crime, on top of the drugs, so it's an abject disaster. We've got over 10 million people that have broken into this country illegally, and Joe Biden and Sheryl Brown want more.

Bernie, is this an opportunity for Republicans in Ohio and elsewhere to really make inroads in black and Hispanic communities? Because quite frankly, a lot of what the Democrats are delivering to migrants are things they have promised those communities and abjectly failed on delivering for decades. And now they're sitting there watching these newcomers get treated unfairly.

With gold standard benefits that nobody else gets, that nobody else has ever had. Is that an opening for us to go and say this is all a lie? They're selling you out.

Oh, 100%. And I think in Ohio we'll win the Hispanic vote. As you may know, I was born in Columbia, South America. I would be the first Hispanic elected statewide in Ohio. I'd be the first South American born senator. I'd be one of only two naturalized citizens serving the United States Senate. We'll win the Hispanic vote. President Trump will win the Hispanic vote. We're going to carve out at least 30% of the black vote here in Ohio, maybe even nationally, because they know that what the Democrats have done

It's absolutely crushed them over decades. The policies that they put in place, whether it's what we talked about at the beginning with education, whether it's job opportunities, whether it's rewarding people like Sheryl Brown that go to Yale and study Russian studies. But if you're a plumber or in my case, one of my technicians that worked at my dealership that invest thousands of dollars in shop tools, well, they're not getting a cent.

of government aid to help them buy these tools that help them provide a living. But if I go to Yale for four years and learn that there's 99 genders, and it depends what day of the week it is, will be your gender, and they rack up 200 grand in student debt, we're going to pay that off, but not the tools that my technicians needed to do their job. So they understand that this election is about those issues, and I'm very confident that it will be a loud and clear message to the Democrats that they're sick of that.

So 80% of Ohio unintentional drug overdoses are because of fentanyl. That's another reason the border is really affecting Ohio, isn't it? Oh, absolutely. And you said it right. This is no longer overdosing. This is about one time using marijuana, one time using Adderall for whatever reason, and

and it's laced with fentanyl and you're dead. These are poisoning. If this was happening in any other context where thousands, hundreds of thousands, over a hundred thousand Americans every year since Biden's been in office have died over 5,000 to 6,000 in Ohio every year. This is a war where we are suffering more casualties than we've ever suffered in any other war. And what is Joe Biden doing about it? Absolutely nothing today that

I'm sorry, yesterday, the United States Senate voted against deporting criminal aliens who assaulted police officers. Think about that for a second. Sherrod Brown.

that if you are an illegal alien in this country, you commit a crime and assault a police officer, you will not be deported. How does he justify that? That's how radical. How does he justify that? They're radical. It's insane. It's insane. Now, the Ohio media won't even report about that. It is absolutely insane. It shows you how far lunatic the left has gotten. And we're going to pick up a lot of Democrat votes in this election. A lot of working class Americans are just fed up with this nonsense. How...

Bernie, before we go, we have just about a minute and a half left. How do folks follow you? How do they support your campaign and get behind you? Because obviously that seat you're running for may be the decisive seat in control of the U.S. Senate and getting rid of someone like Sherrod Brown, who's it is is party line and Biden focused as there is in the Democrat Party would be critical for Republicans going forward. So how do folks get behind you and help your efforts?

well thank you and you're exactly right i win this race republicans control the united states senate shara brown gets re-elected for his fourth term for another 50 plus years in elected office the democrats control the senate so they can go on bernie marino m-o-r-e-n-o dot com

Contribution of $5, $10, $50 makes a huge difference because every scumbag organization in America is going to be supporting Sherrod Brown. He's going to have the worst of the worst supporting his campaign. None of it from Ohio. All of it from outside of Ohio. I need the help of your listeners. Whatever they can do would be great. Absolutely, folks. Go to BernieMarino.com. Help him out because you heard him say something really important there. If you don't help him, voters aren't going to know about all this stuff Sherrod Brown is doing because the press won't cover it.

Folks, Breaking Battlegrounds will be back on the air next week and we'll be covering it and much more. The 2022 political field was intense, so don't get left behind in 2024. If you're running for political office, the first thing on your to-do list needs to be securing your name on the web with a yourname.votewebdomain from godaddy.com. Get yours now. Welcome to the podcast segment of Breaking Battlegrounds. Special thank you to our guests, Jeff Murdock and Bernie Moreno today. Very

Very much appreciated the time from both of them. And are we just going to get I think our new tradition is let it let it bleed. Right. Right. Right off the top. Let's go bloody. You know, it's funny, Kylie, regarding this Boston case you've been covering. I've had two people this week when you've walked in. It's been on TV and they've asked me about I said, you just need to go Kylie corner because she has all the details. Well, don't you want to tell me about it? No. You need to listen to Kylie. So, Kylie, give us an update on it.

All right. So this week was just a whole bunch of the McAlbert. I'm calling them McAlberts. You have the McCabe's and the Alberts. They're all family together. They don't remember anything from the night of. Right. So I was like getting pretty boring until this morning when Matt McCabe was. So let me back up a second. So the defense believes that it's a plot. She's being framed. Correct. Correct. And so she is saying that there was. So the guy that owns the house.

Brian Albert, he's a trained MMA fighter and his nephew has also done boxing and whatnot. And they believe, and he's a hothead. They showed all of these videos of him threatening different people, um, different kids saying, I'm going to beat your ass. We're on the podcast. Yeah. You can drop the bomb. Um,

and so they're proving that he's a hothead they allowed the prosecution to submit into evidence and the police allowed for this for them to just use a screenshot of his text saying he got picked up at midnight that night so he was never there when um brian was there or i mean uh sorry john o'keefe the the guy who passed away so he there they allowed them to submit just

Just a screenshot of his text. Never looked in to see if he deleted any text after that. And it was his best friend that picked him up. And the screenshot of these texts show that they did not text, which also happens to be his best friend is his cousin, who's a McCabe. Her parents were there. And they didn't text between that night and February 22nd. Wait, the cousin's a woman? Who's his best friend? Yes. Okay, this is getting more suspicious by the minute.

Yeah. And supposedly she was on right before him and said, yep, I picked him up at midnight. Here's the texts that prove it. And it was just a screenshot of their texts. There was nothing shown after that. And nothing looked into no one's phone was confiscated. All of the McCabe's and all of the Albert's have since gotten new phones. Half of them have moved. They don't even live in the house anymore. Some of them have gotten new cars like everything. That's not weird.

Not weird at all. And then the last thing that was just shown this morning, you know, I was going to give just a short update. Pretty boring. No one remembers anything except Matt McCabe, who was there the night. He's the dad of he's a cousin. Right. They're all they're all related. He was there. He texted in the McAlbert group chat. That's what they call it. We need to stick to the fact that he never came into the house. And then that's not suspicious. Yeah.

Yep. And then one of the Alberts responded, exactly. And so on the stand when he was asked, he said, I was referring to Channel 4. Oh, my goodness. It's crazy. I shouldn't be laughing because this is the most classic East Coast old school frame job I've seen in years and decades. I mean, I have zero faith if something's happening to me that there's going to be a proper investigation happen. Well, you have seen the movie Departed, right?

No. Oh, you need to watch that. So here's the trick if you're in Boston. What you need to do is whenever the cop rolls up, you ask him if they're Italian or Irish, and then you ask them to have one of the other ones show up also. Because then there's no chance of collusion. You're going to get it straight. So, Kylie, how much longer will they be on track?

trial here? When will it be? We're on week three and they say it's going to be between six and eight weeks. Oh my goodness. So we're still on all of the prosecution's witnesses. So the most important question is here. This is obviously going to be a Netflix series. Absolutely. So who will be the actors and actresses that you think should play these roles? Who will be casted?

Oh, my gosh. Why are you putting me on the spot like that? Next week, you come up with the perfect cast for this. OK, I got that. Who's the actor who famously dies in Sean Bean? You got to have Sean Bean play the deceased. Who knows? But everything he's ever been in, he dies. That's the type of role I need. You make money, you don't save a line. Go ahead.

All right. So people aren't the only ones that are out to attack. So there is apparently a gang of killer whales just off the coast of Morocco that have been attacking boats and yachts, and they just did so again on Sunday. There was a 50-foot yacht that was sailing. Now, are these the same killer whales that started eating the sharks? They don't know, but they're like 50-foot yachts. Yeah, I don't know. So they attacked this boat on Sunday, and there is the Atlantic Orca Task Force, which is supposed to be managing this pod,

There has been 673 interactions since 2020. They have sunk seven boats, and there's been 29 attacks in the last four months alone. And they believe that this pod or gang of killer whales is led by one head killer whale named White Gladys, and she is supposedly teaching other killer whales how to attack these boats. Well, it would be interesting to know because, you know, there's those killer whales –

killing the great white sharks off South Africa where they just simply take their liver. Yeah, they're eating the liver out of the shark.

I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy what's going on with these killer whales. Yeah, I was looking into them. They're very scary animals. Well, I know. Like 40 of them will just surround their prey. Well, I know. And the thing is, most Americans don't realize this because they're used to going to SeaWorld and seeing them doing all these fun tricks, right? And they also attack SeaWorld people. But there's a reason they're called killer whales.

Right. Well, they made that documentary Blackfish on the one of them that had killed a killed multiple people or tried to kill multiple people. Yeah, I think it's it. It's really interesting. Do you ever see the series? It was short run, but it gave me bloody nightmares. I had to stop watching it. Zoo, which was I forget which network it was on, but it's about animals.

evolving, becoming smarter and just deciding, okay, we're done with these humans. Oh, yeah. Interesting. And, you know, basically starting to...

That is people's theories. They're saying that the ocean is fighting back, and this all started when the submarine imploded. Oh, that's really interesting. We'll follow up on that. We're supposed to not stay in there. But see if they think there's a connection between them and the liver-eating ones in South America, if they're related. Is this like the West Side Story? What do we got going here? The liver eaters seem likely to be much more likely to be involved with this than does some submarine implosion. I mean, who cares about a bunch of squished wealthy people? The thing about it, South Africa is...

The tip of South Africa is full of great whites. I was there several years ago for business, and we were going to this – there was this beach area. And they said, you know, it's just full of great whites, and you don't swim. And every year somebody thinks they can swim across, and they don't make it across because the great whites are there, right? So I found it really interesting that they're saying these maritime folks saying –

They're disappearing. The great whites are going elsewhere because the killer whales. Yeah. Yeah. Killer whales. There's a reason they're named killer whales. So that's like this swim version of the Isle of Man. So Jenna and Kylie, I have a question for you. Have you been following the Harrison Butker, the Kansas City chief speech situation?

About him? I have been, yes. Okay, so... Kylie's got a big grin on her face, too. So there's like... Oh, my phone, it froze. So basically, you know, basically he spoke at a Catholic private liberal arts college, right? And it's...

You know, these Benedictine colleges have abbeys. I mean, this college has a current population of monks of 53 monks. Right. And the monastery on campus has 47 members. There's only 20 colleges like this. So generally, being a religious school, a concerted Catholic school, you're going to have a speaker who believes in traditional values. Right.

So, look, you both are working women. Did you have a meltdown at this speech that he said it's, you know, is it good for being a mother at home? And I didn't hear him tell anybody they can't go have a career. Actually, that's not, he didn't even say that. He just gave credit to his wife. To his wife, right, right. Do you understand the meltdown on this?

I mean, I don't because I think the left goes up there and gives college speeches all the time that are insane, just wacky as well. Insane. Yeah. But, you know, I would I could pull 10 out 10 of my friends and I believe nine out of 10, if not 10, would probably agree that they're excited to start a family. I really I really want to pull the 150,000 people who have signed the petition.

To see, I bet you these people, a majority on therapy. I bet a majority wear masks all the time. I bet a majority don't know what gender they are. See, I think part of this, though, Chuck and Kylie, I think the left's outrage over this.

Ties to the fact that all of a sudden, after decades of this women in the workforce, you know, not in the kitchen kind of narrative. Right. That it's turning around, that young women are realizing that maybe the path to happiness for a lot of them, depending on what they choose, but path to happiness for a lot of them is a traditional path of marriage and family first. Right.

And I think the left is really freaking out about that because it throws away one of their central narratives of the last hundred years.

I would agree with that. Yeah. No, I agree because I think if the left is preaching freedom for everyone, I think I don't understand why they forget that someone's choice to be a mother is such a valid choice and such a great choice. I don't know why someone should do that. Look, it doesn't just have to be mother stay home. I have two friends where the wives make significantly more money. One's an attorney. One's an executive at a major national advertising firm. They made the decision of a family.

that both the husbands stayed home. I mean, and both had decent careers, but they were not providing the economic benefit that their wife's jobs provided. Yeah, let me just make this announcement. So they went and they stayed home and they've been the stay-at-home parent. And those families are completely happy. So it doesn't even have to be the mother staying at home. I mean,

There is not one study that does not show having a parent at home when the kids come home from school is not beneficial for the children. Which is why, Chuck, you should not have cut me off when I was putting out the advertisement. Ladies, if there's any of you that would like to turn Sam Stone into a house husband.

Any sugar mamas out there? Yeah, no, just hit me up. I mean, seriously. I love that they're calling for him to get kicked off the team, but like other guys, you know, Rashid Rice just almost killed someone and they don't care. Yeah. Or they're having like 11 kids with 10 different mothers or whatever. And the NFL never criticizes any of that. Yeah. I mean, look, I love the NFL. I have tickets to a couple of teams.

They are the most whorish institution in the United States. Literally. Easily. Easily. It's amazing what they will do to try to keep a buck, right? And now they're going to make everybody spend $500 a year on streaming services so they can watch football games. It's a horrible group. Well, let's get a little sunshine here, Jeremy and Jenna. What do we got going here today? You are my sunshine.

What do you got for us today? So, I've got a story. I've just a

a little bit of a therapist's input on some ways that you can like calm down after, you know, maybe being stressed out about various things. Maybe you're waiting, you know, you want to get your cash back. At a convenience store and someone will give you cash back. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a lot of different methods that people can use. And this therapist who's based in Vancouver, her name is Nikki Roy, she's a

She says that singing along to your favorite tunes, maybe some Johnny Cash, maybe some Carrie Underwood, while you're driving in a car can provide an instant boost to your mental health. So possibly my singing along to Metallica is not the right choice? Well, no. If it makes you feel good, makes you feel alive, it's a great song. Yeah.

She does say it's a connection. You're engaging this physiological process by singing. And part of it is also a connection to positive memories and core things that you enjoy. So it's kind of just connecting to something that you really love. And then also it helps to calm your vagus nerve. So she talks about how there's a...

physiological process with the vagus nerve that can help you to basically need to engage it in order to calm yourself down out of stress and anxiety. And this is something that people can use for all different types of things, and it's such an easy thing. You can just jam out. Well, you're a car guy, Sam. How many times have you gone, you've had a lousy day, you turn on your favorite music, drive, and you feel like, I'm better. All the time. It would be rare to find the person that does not work for her. Yep.

No, absolutely. I do drives late at night sometimes when I just need to relax before bed and that kind of thing. It unwinds you. I think, boy, we need a lot more of that. Yeah. Right? Like if everyone would find – and I've found myself this way really much more and I've had to think about it and try to pull myself back. But since the lockdowns in 2020, they affected us all in some ways. Yeah.

I've found my trigger much quicker since that time. And I have to really stop and assess it when it happens. So if someone, you know, which Arizona has the worst, most aggressive drivers. They're very aggressive. They're very aggressive. Oh, my goodness. They're fairly talented as far as handling the automobiles. I'll give it that credit. But you're talking about people who are just flat insane on the road.

I have to occasionally pull myself back and I never had to do that before. And I think those kind of techniques are very valuable to it. Right. Everybody needs to learn how they can calm their trigger. Yeah. Right. So I have a little insight. I think Caitlin Clark might be that person that doesn't listen to, doesn't like the music because she says that she prefers complete silence prior to the game and does not listen to music before. Well, but that's different versus getting in the zone for a sporting event versus I'm in a bad mood and I'm going to take a drive.

I don't know. We'll have to ask her. Why'd you do that? Would you get back to us on that? I'll DM her. That and the killer whales and what gang they are. Do they have leather jackets? What's going on with that? White. White Gladys. Jenna, you got anything else for us on it? I think that's about it. That's good advice, and we hope everybody will take it. Well, folks, we're going to close here. Congresswoman Mia Love, former Congresswoman Mia Love, friend of the show, longtime friend of mine.

has been battling brain cancer for two years. She was supposed to not last more than a year. She is beating the odds. She's doing some therapies at Duke University. She was profiled on CNN yesterday about her

treatments about how her faith has helped her go through this. And so we're going to close with you listening to that. We hope you have a great weekend. And if you need a drive, go take a drive, listen to your favorite song. And on behalf of Don't Rage, on behalf of Sam, Kylie, Jenna, myself and the killer whales of Mediterranean, have a great weekend. We'll talk to you soon. Congresswoman Mia Love.

is used to fighting political battles. But now the former Republican Congresswoman from Utah is fighting a battle that's much more personal and frankly, much more consequential. In 2022, Mia Love was diagnosed with brain cancer. I recently sat down with her to talk about how her faith and immunotherapy that she's receiving through a clinical trial have impacted her journey with cancer and in life. You've got this perfect life, perfect time. And then one day...

It's not perfect. For former Congresswoman Mia Love, the first black woman ever elected to Congress from Utah, everything changed in early 2022. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't think it was a big deal. Everybody gets headaches, you know. Everyone gets them. But on a family vacation in Puerto Rico, the headaches became unbearable. It's almost like there were two ice picks that just...

Made my head feel like it was exploding. Her husband, Jason Love, rushed her to a hospital. We were able to get a CAT scan there. I showed my husband the images, and he's like, there's a tumor right here, honey. Back in Utah, doctors removed nearly 95% of the tumor, but more bad news soon followed when the biopsy results revealed the tumor was cancerous, malignant. Mia Love underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but the diagnosis was dire.

Love became one of the approximately 14,000 cases diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. This is the same thing that Ted Kennedy died of? Yes, that was really... That Bill Biden died of, right? Yes. Doctors said she only had 10 to 15 months to live. I was devastated. I actually had a doctor look at me and say, "You're going to die from this. It's inevitable. You're going to die." They can figure out my diagnosis.

And I have to take that. But I don't have to take the prognosis. Are you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? I am. Did your faith help? Oh, absolutely. I was finding, I was looking for a cure in my faith and in science. Funny thing is, my patriarchal blessing said, you will have a long and prosperous life, a rich and rewarding life, so long as you decide.

to remain upon this earth. So I thought, okay, there's God's word there, and then there's the doctor's word. On advice from some of her former colleagues in Congress, Mia Love reached out to Dr. Henry Friedman, a neuro-oncologist at Duke University. The single most important thing we offered her was hope. Hope and a spot on a clinical trial being conducted at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. He said, I'm trying to cure...

cure this thing. It's the first time I ever heard that from a doctor. Over the last few decades, immunotherapy, which uses parts of a person's immune system to target and fight cancer cells, has become an important part of treating certain types of cancers, including GBM.

We basically treated the tumor with a catheter, infusing a monoclonal antibody that binds to the tumor and carries with it a toxin. Since August 2023, every three weeks, Love has been receiving that treatment at Duke University. Every scan I go through, it's either not growing or it has reduced a little bit.

And while this treatment is working for Mia Love... Nothing works for all patients. It's too soon to know just how long this will continue to work for her. The therapy strategies using immunotherapy and GBM are getting better, and I think that we're getting to a point now where we're making a meaningful impact on these patients' lives. Love is leaning into hope to help. I have to say, this is for everyone who is struggling with something like this.

Do not underestimate the power of a positive attitude. Former Congresswoman Mia Love has had almost a year more than her original doctor said she would have after her original diagnosis. She told me she has spent that time enjoying every moment with her family. And we want to thank Mia and Jason Love for letting us tell their story, for trusting us with that honor. We'll be right back.
