When you go to mypillow.com slash Justin, use promo code Justin while you're inside. and get geared up. All right, so like I said, lots coming up yet today. We'll get into the biggest stories, the one you won't hear anywhere else. Our good friend Kyle Olson joins us from the Midwest and are coming out in just moments. But first, the stories that matter most, you don't talk about these around the water cooler, the dinner table, no matter where you are. Powered by our good friends at Heartland Home Mortgage, Dave Galloway and the team, ready to help you. Whether you want to buy, refine home equity, line of credit, they can do it all. And they quite often do. We'll get those folks that call us and say, you know, they were faster, they were better than the big banks. That's Dave, that's the team at Hartland All Mortgage. They'll even come to your house and finalize it. In fact, they did that for us. It was so convenient, so nice. Such a change of pace in a day and age where the, well, the customer service is lacking in some places in some areas, isn't it? We could have a deal at any moment. Boxers alert, a deal to open. open the straight could come at any second. They're moving along very nice thing. We'll find out. We'll know in 48 hours. They wanted to talk. We've been talking. They want to make a deal. They do not want to be hit. A U.S. official said that Iran, Oman, and America could announce a deal as early as tonight. The clock's ticking. According to the source, the deal is a 60-day arrangement to open Hormuz. Ships sail in through Iranian waters and out through Omani waters.
Mines still choke the middle of the straits, so they'll have to demine in about 30 days. No tolls for the time being. Trump doesn't love the idea of the Iranian shaking down ships for safe passage, but it's not a new idea. The Turks toll their straits, and in Asia, ships pay a fee in the Strait of Malacca. I don't like it. I don't like that part of the deal at all. I think that has to be reworked. We cannot do this. This is going to be bad precedent. But we may get out of it when we get around it. We may not even have a deal at all. I don't know. I mean, this is, we keep hearing back and forth on this. What really ends up happening? Only time will tell. Another big story that you're not hearing anywhere else today. The FBI opening secret criminal investigations into President Trump after he fired James Comey. Back in 2017, newly declassified memos show the days after Trump fired James Comey, the Bureau secretly opened a criminal and counterintelligence probe, codenamed Oxford, comma, into whether Trump was acting as a Russian asset or not. And that investigation provided the basis for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller. They all ought to be, listen. All of these folks ought to be charged. This is all of it. Treasonous. The fact that they were investigating a sitting president at the time, and they knew. They knew. They just wanted to get him. They couldn't fathom that he was about to get them. Speaking of getting them today on Capitol Hill in the hearings, Anthony Fauci, in a contempt vote that's set to take place in the Senate. We'll hear more, the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, voting on whether or not to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt to court. And, of course, contempt to Congress, rather. But of course, look, this guy, contempt is just to start. And I know everyone else watching, you probably feel the same way what he put us through those years. is absolutely unthink among the deaths that how many people dead did because not just inconvenience but businesses died as well in livelihoods the suicides all the crazy things that we've gone through here folks there needs to be accountability and we need it post haste speaking of Post-Ais. Let me get right to him. He's online right now with us from the Midwestern, the Midwestern or Dot News. Kyle Olson and what is shaking up to be one of the most interesting weeks in politics in Michigan I've ever experienced. I can tell you that much. Kyle going on us with us right now on the line. Kyle, good morning. How are you? Welcome in. Good morning. I'm doing well. I heard what you said about the straight of Hormuz there, and you're concerned about it. And my thought was, it's like the Michigan weather. Just wait a little while. Exactly. And it's going to be totally different. Exactly. Yeah. Wait a few minutes. And it's a back and forth. And, you know, that's the funny thing about that story to it. Really, it's always developing. There's always something new. And I do think we're going to eventually get that all.
worked out. It's just how soon it happens for folks is the bigger issue. Now, back here in Michigan, where the gas prices are about the same as the weather, they're up and down each day. We don't know why exactly. We had massive movement as well in this primary. Some things were expected, some maybe not as expected. What did you make of the Michigan and the primary and the results that came Tuesday night? I think it was sort of as predicted. So there were not a lot of shockers, at least on the statewide level. And so, you know, John James is the Republican nominee. He's now in a situation where he's got to raise a lot of money and he's got to get his message out about why, you know, his vision for Michigan is different than Jocelyn Benson's. She was with Gretchen Whitmer yesterday. They are closing ranks. I saw that outside groups are already spending or already planning to spend tens of millions of dollars. And so it's, and I saw this in 2022. This is, this is very similar to what happened in 2022, where the Republican nominee comes out needing to raise money and while there's just an avalanche of Democrat spending. And so it's. it's not going to be an easy race. And I think we all think that Jocelyn Benson, you know, I mean, she has a record she doesn't want to talk about, which is why she's talking about other things. She is, you know, I think a lot of people have concerns about her and she's not exactly a personable person. So, you know, there are opportunities, but it is not going to be easy. Yeah, and I just wonder how much, especially in this race, and this could be good or bad, but how much will this race be affected or impacted by that race for Senate? We get a lot of this money pouring in. It's such a massive race, not only because, obviously, we got a chance to put a Republican back in the Senate for the first time since, like the 90s here in Michigan. But also the national implications, the implications for the Democrat Party. our country and beyond with Abdul El-Sayed excuse me abdil abraham i don't know if i said the name right i'll have to ask him otherwise i know he wants me to keep it out of your mouth keep it up so you know the funny thing is you came to this country You, you expect to us to like know exactly how to say your name? How arrogant and how egotistical is that? You should just be glad that we allow you here. You came to this country and we all have to like assimilate. No, you've got it backwards. Sorry, I had to get that out.
It's been a long week. It's been a long week. It's just so hilarious to me. And the humor, the way these people think, and it's at a police. Keep saying stuff like this. Because as I said, now play this. clip later i was on newsmax uh two last night with uh and henry good guy great conversation and he was asking about that specifically but i say you know people please keep keep talking like this absolutely we love to hear this in the uh in the general here because it keeps furthering the divide and showing us exactly what the difference is between common sense and crazy that'll be on the ballot in november but this This to me, this is a campaign, and I try and write the ship, get back here on the straight. I hit a landmine. I part, I don't know, a mine in the strait. Let me get it back on track. This is, this is going to draw a lot of attention, a lot of money into this race. Yeah, the two, the fundamental differences in these races, aside from the, you know, the issues and the obvious things. is that nationally people care about who the Michigan senator is because it affects the majority, which then means, you know, things get done or don't get done in the U.S. Senate. There's a different metric for who the governor of Michigan is. And so I'm thinking what is going to happen is there's going to be tens in tens and tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. pouring in to attack and support Mike Rogers and attack and support Abdul. And so that is going to be, it's not technically the top of the ticket, but that's going to be the major focus. And then you add in, you know, Abdul's background and, you know, all of that. And it's just, it's going to make it the race. in the state. And then so your point about, you know, is it possible, at least this is the way I interpreted what you said, is it possible that the Senate race is going to sort of drag along the governor's race? That's possible. But at the same time, like I said earlier, the Democrats are going to be spending tens of millions of dollars on behalf of Jocelyn Benson. That's going to start very soon if it hasn't started already. because now their goal is going to be to define who John James is, what he stands for, etc. But when it comes to the Senate race, there is going to be... So much money coming in. And we didn't, when it comes to Abdul's background and his associations, there was a story, I think it was on Fox News yesterday about the, he's raised over $100,000 for people associated with care. That's right. And so, and we didn't see those sorts of criticisms during the primary.
from either from Haley Stevens herself or her campaign or outside groups. They chose to focus on other things. So there's going to be a new level of education when it comes to Abdul and what he stands for and who he stands with. And it's going to be a different kind of campaign. But it's going to be, it's probably going to be, it's definitely going to be one of the top campaigns in the country, top races, if not the top race. Yeah, it's, it seems like we're headed in that direction. And if not already there, it's. It's a big one. And I know folks are, they've got their eyes on this. You know, it's interesting. I wanted to point this out, too. I know you probably saw some of this. Kyle Olson, the Midwesterner. The Midwestern or dot news. He wasn't the only socialist candidate who won in Michigan on Tuesday. There was another. You've got this story. DSA candidate Will Lawrence wins Dem nomination in Battleground, MI7. That's the race against Tom Amy Coney Barrett. Is that right? Yes. All right. So break this one down for us. Yeah, so Will Lawrence, he, for those who follow the left, he was involved in indivisible. There was a group called the Sunrise Movement. If you go back to when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was first elected, remember when they did a, a Sunrise Movement did a sit-in at Nancy Pelosi's office, which really sort of set the tone for their relationship. And so that's where he comes from. And he sort of skated, I was going to say skated through the middle, but that's not really right. What happened was Bridget Brink and Matt Mazdam were two other candidates. And they were focused on attacking each other. And William Lawrence just sort of skated through the middle. And so now you've got one of the top battleground races in the country, and you've got a DSA candidate. And it was interesting, we're going to have a story about this today. He was on CNN yesterday and was asked, he really actually was for CNN, he was sort of getting grilled. It was kind of surprising. But he was asked about his DSA membership because he said he's no longer affiliated with DSA. And he was asked, well, when, you know, when did you stop being a member? And he said, I let my membership lapse last month. And he was asked, well, was it because of general election? And he, you know, was evasive about that? Obviously, obviously Democrats realize the DSA in least some parts of the state or some parts of the country.
It's toxic, and it certainly is toxic in the 7th District where it is, I mean, it is just, you know, on a razor's edge. So it's going to be interesting to see how that race goes. But there's others, you know, you've got, you've got Hillary Skolton. And that one is interesting because she really went out on a limb for Haley Stevens and was openly critical of that duel. And then, then Abdul turns around and wins Kent County by a lot. And so Hillary Skolton has got a problem with the left. And it's going to be interesting to see how she handles that and will, will progressives stay home and not help Hillary Skolton. That's a fascinating story. I also see that. the uh well the uh was it beagles with him too he tortured a bunch of puppies too shre Shri Thanedar uh he he also lost his absurd four thousand three hundred and eighty eight constituents solved their problems that's what people want uh you have an ad running that says you wrote legislation to abolish ice to impeach donald trump but neither of those things ever happened uh critics including some democrats have said you're more about getting headlines than results is that fair well it's probably what happened on tuesday they they thought the guy was a clown and booting them out or is there something else happened behind the scene so was his was his candidate or his opponent uh one of these ds a guys too Yes, his opponent was Donovan McKinney, who is in DSA. There were, I think that there were some race issues going on as well. He was, Shri Thanedar was, was representing Detroit. Race as in racial, you mean? Race is in racial, yes. And so there, you know, were some unspoken issues going on in that race. And so Don't Speak for me is kind of what you're thinking. That's what it amounted to. Yeah. And so Donovan McKinney won the primary, and he will be the nominee, and it's a safe Democrat seat. So he's effectively going to Congress. Anything else on the ballot that came out of Tuesday that we should be looking at, Kyle Olson or the Midwestern or the Midwestern or dot news founder here? Well, I think back on the west side, Phil Skaggs, who is an obnoxious, horrible person. He's a state representative. He's gone after us after we photographed him sleeping on the house floor. He lost his primary, so his career is effectively over. Sleepy spags. I think people on both sides of the aisle.
are happy with that. Would you say this is a wake-up call for Sleepy Skags? It probably is, yeah. He's got to, yeah. He's got to drink some coffee. From what I understand, the guys from the East Grand Rapids area, and from what I understand, you know, he was a county commissioner, and then he went to serve in Lansing, and he just doesn't have a very, a very good... a reputation for even the folks that are in his area. And, you know, I will say this. There's another piece, though. I'll give Sleepy Skags this. His opponent much further left than he was, too. And she's going to be interesting to watch as well as we have this rise of this kind of socialist push inside the state right now. Yes, I think that the left is definitely going left. And it's not a mistake that they focus on these districts where they're safe districts. And they want to keep pushing to the left and push those districts and elect candidates that are far left. versus people that would work with Republicans or they would, you know, in their eyes sort of be squishy. And so we're seeing this polarization go on in the left. And I think it's only going to continue because this, this is all, in my opinion, this is all a buildup to the presidential election. And because the DSA wants to get to the point where they are fielding a serious presidential candidate. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, could be somebody else. But that's what this is all about and where they want to get to. Yeah, and to your point, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, obviously, I think she would be the clear pick at this point, but please, I just say Operation Letter Talk, let her, let her get it out too. But the other one that's, I've heard, now he'd have to make it through this general, but I've heard people talk about, Abdul, keep your name out my mouth as well, which I know that's, look, folks, I know this sounds. kind of like fantasy, but at the same time, it's not unheard of. We have another candidate, the very same thing. And, you know, Barack Hussein Obama, they're calling this guy. Abdul would be the first Muslim senator. I said, no, I think the best way to pull it here is, Kyle, he'd be the first openly Muslim senator. So we have precedent for this. Don't say that it couldn't happen. There is a lot at stake and a lot on the line right now. We've got to make sure we're clear about this. And to anyone out there.
who's saying, no, I can't vote for Rogers because of something that happened 20 years ago or how I feel about this issue or that or anything. You're saying that you would be fine with a communist, commie jihadi getting elected instead because your refusal to act. The only time that evil thrives is when good men do nothing. And that includes good women as well. If you refuse to act right now to stop evil, that's what we're going to get. We had it last time with Elissa Slotkin who's a deep stater. This guy's even worse. That's what it all comes down to. Kyle Olson, the Midwestern or the Midwesterner.com. Always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you. Thank you. We, gosh, we're going to have so much to talk about in the days ahead. I just can't wait. Have a great weekend, my friend. You too. Thanks. Kyle on today for a little bit of a programming note, and I'll let you know that tomorrow I am, I'm going to be off. We've got some big things coming in the days ahead in the next weeks. Some of this stuff I've been telling you about. Some of it is, you know, no stranger to you've been hearing about, but some of it I still haven't gotten the full details through to you yet. We'll get all that coming up. And I'll share some of it with you, maybe even as soon as this week. But first, let's do another update from Robin at the Midwestern, the Midwesterner. News. Back after this. Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Thursday, August 6th. I'm Robin Popman. The race for the open Senate seat here in Michigan is on. Republican Mike Rogers gearing up to run against progressive Abdul El-Sayed. The national implications enormous as Rogers looks to flip the seat from Democrat to Republican. But the Democrat socialists think they have the momentum. Here's New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, weighing in. To win this race as someone who is not currently holding elected office. It is a testament to what he ran on and also the way he ran the campaign. Also gearing up for the midterms, John James, who won the Republican nomination for governor, he will be facing Democrat Jocelyn Benson in November. And Sleepy Phil Skaggs loses the Democrat primary for state Senate District 29. The embarrassing defeat followed less than flattering pictures of him at the Capitol during budget negotiations in July when he was caught napping at his desk. For these stories and more, visit the Midwestern. the Midwesterner. News. All right, folks. I got to reset the camera. If you haven't already done so yet, make sure your sharing is caring. Get the word about these stories out and that folks need to hear and more. Justin Barkley.com slash store. Going to give you a shot to win something inside the store. If you share today, a tea, a hoodie, a mug or more, Justin Barkley.com slash store. Back right after this.
All right, we're having a hard time getting the camera going this one. I don't know why, guys, but I, we may just have to, it may just have to go camera free. I don't know what's going on. It's not recognizing our camera to video input for some reason. So, hey, look, I know, look, I know some of you're thinking, like, that's okay. I don't need to see you every day. Some of you're probably going to be, oh, no, why can't we see Justin? So I apologize, but in the meantime, I guess that's just the way it's going to have to be. Can you hear me still, too? Like, is the audio still here? Can you still hear me? Can you still hear me? A test one, two, check, check one, two. Hello, hello, everyone. In the meantime, let me see what I could pull up here. Let me, you know, that's a shame. I really was hoping that that would work to reset it. But unfortunately, it is not, and I can't, there's really not much I can do, unfortunately, to fix that right now. I'm going to have to dig into that. That would be a quick fix there, but it didn't work out. It's moving the camera that causes this. And I'll tell you what this is from. So, you know, I've been doing all these TV hits. Newsmax, Newsmax 2 yesterday. I think I'd probably done like four of them since I started. And we are, you know, we're talking about mainly this race. That's been such an issue. It has been probably the biggest national driver. And, you know, so when I do it, I kind of reset the studio here. I got to turn in my office, the kind of give the camera a different viewpoint, and I got to unplug it and plug it back in and all this other stuff. And so when I do that, what happens is it, it, there's, there can be a connection issue. I did this this morning, and I thought, okay, we got our blue lights on, everything's connected. We should be fine, but at the end of the day. I will have to call Trent if I can't get this figured out. You're absolutely right, Jason. Give our friend Trent Canneby Affordable Ice Store and Grand River Tech a shout. So I'll let you see a little bit of the video that's that's from the, this is from the appearance, the Newsmax appearance last night. Now, here's what happened. Just set it up for you. President Trump is speaking in Las Vegas, and I got those clips coming up here in just a minute. Tammy, see what I just said this. I just said, going to be people to say, I miss your face. There are going to be people to say, I don't, I don't miss it. But there's nothing I can do about it. So we're stuck. But anyway, President Trump just gets done speaking. There's a great moment that I'll share with you in just a little bit. And we would have had more time, but he had a barn burner there at Vegas last night. So this is what we covered afterwards. Hang out, let me make sure you can hear the audio. Where is the audio for this? Is there muted? Oh, it's muted. All right. Here you go. This is Ed Henry last. Now, bring into the conversation, Justin Barclay. He's the host of Torch Radio. He, as I understand it, is a big deal in the Wolverine state there in Michigan. See, the camera is working last night. Going to give us a little briefing on what happened last night, what it means. Justin, first of all, it's good to meet you. Welcome to the show.
Thank you. Great to be here. You know, so what happened last night? I think it was it was major. It was critical. And just a couple of days ago, and it's very network, we were talking about this. And I said, I think the biggest election, the biggest race this year may not be in November, it may have taken place last night, actually right here in Michigan. So you've got, you've got Abdul Rahman Muhammad al-Sayyat, who is running. He is a doctor. They call him a paper doctor because he's never really been practicing doctor. but he's a guy who's trained for this his whole life is all of his background all of the things that he's done fact he ran here as uh one of these radical types back in 2018 and a failed run for governor didn't quite make it but this time around something was different there's a there's a little something different in the air along with his uniform now he's got the Volodymyr Zelensky t-shirt he is uh it's not quite a betterman hoodie but he's got selinsky t-shirt and the guy he's got i hadn't heard that that's funny the Volodymyr Zelensky t-shirt Yeah, he's got the same uniform. There's a little something different this time around. He's actually a pretty sharp dresser. I interviewed him on the radio back in 2018 when he first ran. And this was somebody people are looking at as an up-and-comer. And now his time has come. Because along with him, this radical push, I call him, this is what I'm going to call him, because I think we need to strip it down to what he is, the Kami Jihadi. he's got this red-green alliance going for him uh he's got the two working together and unfortunately you know i call him commie but i don't know that a lot of young people even know what that means anymore certainly i think you're right and it's kind of scary so i want to break that down because you're making a lot of important points and what i want to make about the the day after here now is that uh you would think that after being this radical socialist And denying it, as you know, he says, I'm not really DSA. I just want Medicare for all. He's trying to do the non-scary stuff. You know, he still is going after ice and stuff. But he's not like... radical per se out in the open on defunding the police. You had to go find the old radio interviews and stuff. These days, he's trying to put a happy face, I suppose, on social. I'm not saying it's going to work in a general election, but I frame that because you would think today he might say, I'm going to move to the middle. I'm going to moderate a little bit. But instead, in his victory speech, here's what he said. Watch.
I want you to remind them that if we come through this, when we come through this, inshallah, that will have taken $70 million on the chin and kept fighting back. And so, inshallah, God willing, in Arabic. And then you used his real first name, it's not Abdul. Abdul Rahman. And I guess Mike Rogers, the Republican, who I think is going to win this seat ultimately in November, pronounced it. I guess Abdul Rahman felt like it wasn't pronounced properly. And he said, keep the name out your damn mouth. I guess my final question to you is, instead of coming out and saying, I'm going to move to the middle. and win this general election he's like doubling down on radical and you know shut your mouth and we're going to we're going to storm the beaches uh is that going to work in michigan you're there Oh, please do. You know, if he does, I think Mike Rogers, former congressman, has a great chance of pulling this race off. We need this in a national scale. The Socialists and the Democrat Party are super excited about this because what it means for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Bernie Bros and all of that. But look, if he talks that way, if he's going to continue that type of language, I think it's going to further... show everyone the difference between common sense and crazy. And that's where we are. Yeah, Mike Rogers has been saying that. The president framed it as it's not the Democrat Party now. It's the Communist Party of America. He teased it there in Vegas, and we're going to see a lot more of it. Real quick, where can people find your stuff? Justin Barkley.com, and we're launching something really big in the next couple of weeks. All right. We're going to pay attention. We'll have you back. Justin, thank you. Stay with you. A good guy. I really appreciate it. I love talking to it. He was a, he was a fantastic, great conversation with him. So anyway, like I said, we're going to be doing more of those. And Joyce said, it seems like every time you're doing news, yes, and I just explain what that is, is I have to reset, I reset the camera. Maybe I'll stop doing that, but they want a kind of a different shot. The shot that we have in here right now. you know this this what i'm doing the show is kind of a little more intimate they really want me like far back away from the camera they want like a wider view in the in the in the background and i get it it's a different it's kind of a different setup so i unplug the camera and then i didn't you know that's what i do okay do you want to try one more time to see if i can reset the camera We'll try it one more time. I'll play some music while I'm doing this. Let me see if I can reset the camera while I'm gone. But in order to do this, I have to go out of this, refresh this program I'm in and try it again. So let's see if I can get it done. If not, we'll just deal with it today. Not a lot of time left anyway. So stand by. Here we go, folks. Let's just give it a shot.
All right, the only thing that I think could be happening, because it's not recognizing my camera at all. I think it's probably got a wireless somewhere. So I apologize to that, but we still have so much to get to. Let me try and get through these clips. It'll be worth it. Trust me. There's some great clips today. So what we were talking about, because right before all of this, right before we go on the air, Trump is wrapping up in Vegas space. Actually, it's supposed to go on earlier. And it's funny because they're like, well, Trump's still on stage right now. And, you know, we know we're supposed to. What time do we have you tell? I said, well, take plenty of time. I get it. I said, what in the world is this? Oh, that was a microphone. To just popping up. And I sent a message. I said, Trump, to somebody who helped set it up just to let them know that, hey, we're going to be coming on a little later on. I said, we're getting Trumps right now. He was on stage. And like I said, it was at one of these rallies. It was like a barn burner. He's fundraising, but he's also out there talking about no tax on tips and some of the things. In fact, he had one of the families up there that this lady works at one of the casinos and her husband is, I think, a police officer in Las Vegas. Anyway, the... The moment that you're about ready to see was precious. It got a little toddler up there on stage, and Grandpa Trump, like, he just sort of springs into action to save this, Ed. I don't know if you saw this or not. Sorry, it's TGI. I have a little mongering going on right now. That's funny. This is a close-up shot, but, like, if you saw the wider view, the kid was about to wander off the stage, it looked like. And the president, the president of the United States goes, wait a minute, don't let him, don't let him get up the stage. What?
It's just so funny watching this. He tries to wrangling back out. All of a sudden, a Secret Service is going to tackle that kid or something. No, that's not what happened. The president brings him out. But what he said was even better. I think people, they laughed at this moment. They thought it was really cute, but I think they missed what he said. Because he's away from the microphone, but he'll kind of shout it. Listen to what he says. See if you can hear this after he does that. He said, I don't want him to be Biden and fall off the stage. Thank you. Thank you, truly. Thank you, Mr. President. It's an honor to be here today. Now, I want to point at this, too, because I don't know if you could tell, but this dude, I don't know how he's pulling this off. But doesn't he, and please, this is not me kissing up or anything like that. I'm just really floored when I was watching this yesterday. The number one thing I could tell, doesn't he look like 10 years younger? What happened? And there's something going on with a hair, too. Did he get something done while he was out in L.A. or something? It's just really, it's strange to me. Thank you so much for all that you've done. Yeah, I just, I mean, and he's got a little spark, he got a little spring in the step there too. I just thought that was something that was really interesting. I don't know. I'm watching that, but he was still, he was in, he was in rare form. In fact, he comments, and I don't know if you saw this or not, but he commented on Abdul El-Sayed. here in Michigan he made a comment for him I'm gonna warn you there's a little bit of language here but it'll make sense when you hear it if you're in a place maybe got kids around or maybe you're in a place where you know you don't want this to to be broadcast well I just just keep that in mind here we go here's his comment on Abdul the communists will take us a hundred percent when I watch Abdul he's full of shit
So. So. But listen, let me ask you. No, no lies detected there. Is he wrong? No, no lies detected there. Is he wrong? All right, folks, what do you think? I'm seeing some comments now in the chat. Let me just get through some of these. Are you seeing the same thing that I am? Doesn't he look 10 years younger? Tammy says, yeah, I noticed that too. Charlene, he sure does just. An 80-year-old man chasing a toddler. Love it. Maybe he actually got some sleep. Tammy, that might be it. Because of the time difference and the change where they are, that might be it. Terry said, I wish I had his energy, and he's six years older than me. See, that's what I mean. Mark says it a two-pane? I don't think it's a two, maybe a spa treatment in Edson. I do. I think he got a little something done out there. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was just a little R&R. But yes, he just looks. He looks, I don't know how this even possible. But you know what's wild is like all the presidents that go into office, they all age. When you see them like after the first couple of years in their term or whatever, start to get the gray going and all the rest of it. That's not happening here. Katie says getting away from D.C. or the swamp does wonders for a person a year. Absolutely right. Bruce thinks it's a stunt double. I don't know. I don't know about that. I don't know. I think that's the guy. I think that's a genuine article right there. Jason says, I think he's wearing makeup. Maybe. Maybe. The guy, I don't know. The guy is a wonder. And again, I've... stood face to face shook his hands a couple of times and had uh several hours of personally straight up conversation i say personal but between me him and several under thousands of people listening in but you know um this looks like the genuine article i can't i can't say that it was uh that it was you know it wasn't him Anyway, that was, there was more from that. And maybe I'll get some other clips from it coming up here in a little bit. There was more from it. Kyle Olson mentioned something that it is, I think is important to note. There's a new bombshell report. Speaking of Abdul El-Sayed. The campaign is reportedly supported by 115,000 terrorism-linked funds, $15,000 in terrorism-linked funds. According to Fox News, the donations come from people who held leadership roles in these alleged terror-linked groups.
And nobody's talking about it. Of course, they knew up front why didn't Haley Stevens share. Democrat nomination for Senate defeating Haley Stevens. It came in at a razor thin margin. That might have caused some sense of humility for a winner, but not every winner. As bitter and as divisive and as cynical as the campaign against us might have been, I want us to realize that there is so much more that unites us now. Because the campaign that Mike Rogers and Donald Trump and their GOP MAGA allies are launching is already more bitter. You know, they think that you want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen, man, if you can't say the name, it's Abdurrahman, keep the name out your damn mouth. Classy. While that might have been fighting words for Republicans, you heard there at the beginning a call for unity among Democrats. That, though, is not a view that is equally shared by his campaign running buddy, Hasan Piker. Everyone being like Abdullah's a ton of work to do mending bridges, here's the take nuke for you, okay? You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of
terrorists for months on end. And is there any truth to any of that? Is he linked to terrorism? Is he, uh, is he, uh, is he, is he a, is he a sympathetic? to 9-11? Is he happy about those things happen? I mean, that's the question. Hasan Piker there certainly is. And don't you think that's important? Don't you want to know? Somebody that's going to be in charge of classified information at some point. Surely he's going to get put on because, you know, this is what they'll do. They get back in power anyway. Democrats can put him on some sort of panel, some sort of committee, and he'll be, yeah, he'll be. He'll be in charge and have all that class. Don't you want that guy going into a skiff and then picking up the phone when he gets out, calling his buddies in the Middle East, telling him what's going on? I mean, you don't think that's going to happen? You don't think that would happen? Hmm. This is hearing that took place yesterday on Capitol Hill. in a Senate hearing where Democrats refused to show up. No, not a single Democrat was present to hear these truth bombs dropped. Abdul El-Sayed's candidacy for Senator in Michigan concerned? Yes, sir, it does. Why is that? Well, to begin with, I look at the connections that his father-in-law, Jakaku Taib, has two brotherhood linked groups. This includes being the president at one time of Care, Michigan. Also, his presence on the Islamic Society of North America Founders Committee, which is only for those most exclusively devoted to ISNA and provide a significant amount of funding. There are other known brotherhood members on that committee. I would also look at Abdul El-Sayed's ties to a group called M Gage, which purports to be a Muslim sort of get out the vote or candidate recruitment organization, but it has close ties to care. It was created by a former care member who at one time was on a terror watch list and was also a consultant to convicted terrorist Samuel Arian.
Do you believe the Islamic Society of North America or ISNA is an ongoing part of the Muslim Brotherhood Network in the United States? Yes, sir, I do. There were some HLF documents that reflected hesitation by the Brotherhood that they thought perhaps they were losing control. You realize, I mean, this is a massive story. This is a massive story. Where are the news articles about this? Where's the coverage? I'm telling you, they're going to paint this guy just like they did with Obama. He's going to be the next savior. Of course, not just a Democrat Party, but of everyone else that has no idea how bad communism is, has no idea what even happened on September 11th. Because these people, most of these kids, they weren't even alive yet. They don't understand a like a pre-9-11 world. They don't understand 9-10. And again, they don't understand communists. They don't even understand because they weren't taught about it. Yeah, communism's never been tried using Russia, Spain, Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam. Do you need me to keep going on? That's a great meme. It's true. Talk to somebody that's lived in. Go to Marlina's Bistro in Holland. Sit down with Marlena. See what she has to say. She'd been through it. That's why she stood up during all the insanity a few years back. CNN, John Fetterman. Wait a minute. Is he in the suit again? What's going on with John Fetterman? In the suit again? Maybe he's trying to distance himself from that clown. I mentioned, you know, John Fetterman's got the hoodie. And now Abdul's got the, he's got the Volodymyr Zelensky tea. I don't know what's going on with John Fetterman. I like that he's making sense. And I like he put a tie on to you. You know why? I'm going to tell you. I think John Fetterman cleans up good. I think he looks good when he dresses, dresses up. I really do. I think he looks sharp. And, you know, good, good for him. Hey, you can't see me. I'm basically in my robe right now. That could be if the camera wasn't working. I just walked down the hall on my robe and do this show. Hey, maybe I ought to try that from now on. Oh, sorry, folks. Got another camera malfunction. Got it just in my robe today. Here's John Fetterman on CNN. So you think he could lose to Mike Rogers. Oh, 100% that's possible without a doubt. I mean, look at him. Doesn't he look good? I mean, as good as he can. It's just, you know, we try to just look as good as we can. Some of us look better than others, right? Yeah. But some of us have the challenges or some of us have our own, you know, but, but limitations, but doesn't, I think he looks great. Look at this guy. I like the suit. And the polling seems to indicate that, that it is in danger. So how should members of your party, the Democratic Party, come together to defeat the Republican candidate?
Yeah, well, I can't come together with someone if you are willing to embrace people that loves Hamas or that thinks America deserve 9-11. I think that's reasonable. And I think that's the reasonable view, being able to kind of be like, well, maybe in pride of ignore those things. That's not a big tent situation. There are things that are unacceptable to have these views as a Democrat, I think. Hold that. This is a very, this is to me, it's very obvious. I think to Americans, it's going to be obvious. It's going to be a bridge too far. In fact, Rogers was fighting 9-11 and John Fetterman making the point, Abdul is like cheering it on. This is, you can't, you don't get any more clear. than what we're dealing with. By the way, it may not be all sunshine, rainbows, and kittens and the rest of it for the socialists these days. The commie Zohran Mamdani, in fact, had a rough, rough time of it yesterday. James Comey Zohran Mamdani, booed off the stage. Do you see this in New York City? boot off the stage trying to speak at an event for the NYPD so guess who guess who it is he's the NYPD and their and their supporters apparently at this event didn't go well when he came out stage ladies gentlemen are you ready for some more damn thing oh no we're not no we're not we're getting awards somebody's getting an award you want to see who's getting an award
Shame. Shame. This is the defund the police. So why's he at a police event anyway? Why is the defund the police politician to calm me on? Why is he at a defund? Why is he at an event supporting? What's going on, man? You think you're going to get a friendly crowd? They know exactly who you are, bro. They know exactly who you are. The mask is off. You didn't fool these people. Certainly haven't fooled us. You may have fooled a few. Of course, there are questions about that election. Look, I don't want to be an election denier or anything. But there are questions coming up now being raised about that election in New York City. I think that's fascinating. Anyway, want to get to another update from the Midwestern or the Midwestern.com. News, and I have a few other things that want to make sure we get to as well. If you haven't done so yet, make sure you share. Sharing is caring. Help us get the word out. We got teas. We got hoodies. We got mugs. We got all kinds of good stuff. Tumblr's inside the store at Justin Barkle.com slash store. And if you share, we'll pick you. You'll be a winner. You can pick something cool out of the store. Coming up after this. Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Thursday, August 6th. I'm Robin Popman. Republicans looking to get out the vote for Michigan's Mike Rogers to win as he runs against progressive candidate Abdul Al-Sai. Nationally, Democrats think he can pull it off despite his narrow win over Congresswoman Haley Stevens. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani talking about the Michigan race. Despite him facing more than $60 million in outside spending, was able to prevail with a focus on a cost of living crisis. And the picture may have done him in, sleepy Phil Skaggs losing the Democratic primary for State Senate District 29, despite endorsements from Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Attorney General Dana Nessel. The embarrassing defeat following less than flattering pictures of him at the Capitol during budget negotiations back in July when the Grand Rapids Democrat was photographed sleeping on his desk for these stories. and more visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner. News. There you have it. I look, I've got some, let me see, maybe I've got one or two other things. Yeah, I should probably share this with you right now. Folks wondering about the Save Act and I know the president was talking about that yesterday as well, but here's another interesting moment. I believe this is on banished to the war room. John Solomon saying that there are a couple of Senate Republicans that are stonewalling Trump in the agenda. And of course, what he said, they're Tom Cotton, John Thune, be surprised by that, blocking the DOJ from obtaining the Brennan transcripts and Todd Blanche has failed to force their release. Oh, boy. From John Solomon. I'm going to go back to being a reporter for a second. I do not know this information from anything I've gained in government. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Republicans are obstructing the investigation into weaponization. There are two Republicans I can name by name, Senator John Thune and Senator Tom Cotton. They have refused for months.
Four months now, the first request came in late January, early February. They are refusing, thus far, to provide to Joe to Genova, to the prosecutors in Florida, to the Miami U.S. Attorney, to the Justice Department, the transcripts of John Brennan's interviews with the Senate Intelligence Committee. They have refused to do so. I'm going to call out a third name because I don't understand the Justice Department's behavior. When a body that's separate of the executive branch doesn't comply, every other time in American history, go back to Iran-Contra, go back to Watergate, the Justice Department subpoenas the Congress. For some reason, The acting attorney general, who wants to be the permanent attorney general, has not authorized a subpoena to the United States Senate to get those documents. Those documents will allow the prosecutors of Miami to decide whether the chargers are warranted against John Brennan. The idea that Republican senators will not cooperate with the Republican administration is ridiculous politically. But it's illegal. It's obstruction. There ought to be a grand jury subpoena sitting in the Senate clerk's office, and there ought to be a court case yesterday. compelling this because the Justice Department has been delayed by eight months by two Republican senators who have the responsibility and the ability to deliver this. You want to get to the grand conspiracy case. You need the missing evidence and the Senate possesses it. And as of this date, I can find no evidence they've turned it over. And there is no grand jury subpoena because the clerk of the Senate would have to report it publicly. I just checked the congressional record again today. So Todd Blanche, Tom Cotton, John Thune. You got some explaining to the war room policy. As we speak, some spleenant. Do you know what else who has some spleenan to do? And I'm all for this. Dr. Anthony Fauci, and we did the breaking news. And I can't believe it. I completely missed this. Happened about almost an hour ago. A little less than that. Anthony Fauci's been held in contempt. Seeing no other motions, the question is on reporting of an original resolution regarding contempt of Congress. The clerk will call the roll. Senator Johnson. Yes. Senator Langford. This is the vote happening now. Yes. Senator Holly. Hi. Senator Moreno. On behalf of the millions of people harmed by Anthony Fauci, resoundingly yes. Senator Ernst. Aye. Senator Moody. Senator Peters. No. Senator Hassan. Of course not, you're worthless piece of, you know what? Thank goodness you're on your way out. Do you understand this is the person that we're looking to replace in the Rogers versus Abdul El-Sayed fight? That guy? You've got a chance to put Rogers in that. See, can you imagine? Yes, it'd be another yes. Look at what they do. They vote against the American people every chance they get. Absolute scum.
John Fetterman voted no, he's back in the hoodie. What happened? Is this evil John Fetterman? What happened? Senator Gallego. No, by proxy. Senator Elissa Slotkin. No, by proxy. Senator Paul. Yes. Elissa Slotkin's on there too. You got two Michigan senators and they're both voting no. Absolutely worthless. 8-5 is the total. The yays are eight, the nays are five. On the vote by proxy, and for the record only, the yays are zero, the nays are two. On this vote, the ys are eight, the nays are five, and the motion is agreed to. Mr. Chairman, uh, uh, pursue. I haven't recognized you. Mr. Chairman. We've had ample remarks on this. The chair will limit remarks to two minutes. I will give you another chance. Yeah, because, of course, we have to have more circus from Peters. Of course, we need more circus from some of those chums. Anyway, now this goes to the DOJ. I say lock him up. Kelly says nothing will happen. Well, we'll see. I don't know. We're an uncharted territory. I understand what you're saying. I get the frustration, but we'll see. We don't know. Same thing I see what people are saying, and this person's going to win this race or this person's going to lose that race or whatever. We'll see. You don't know. You don't have a crystal ball. We don't know. We don't know. You know, you just, some of this, you just can't. You know. You know. You just can't see. You don't, you think we have an idea about how things are going to work. We just don't know. It comes to, and that comes to every single story we're dealing with. I get it. I understand, but the whole nothing will happen. Folks, that's doom or gloomer black pill. Be careful. We got to worry, you got to warn about that because at the end of the day, that can become contagious. And then people just don't vote. Look at the vote. Look at the vote difference between Republicans and Democrats in the primaries. Look at the vote difference. The difference is massive. Why? Because Republicans aren't enthusiastic. They're not enthusiastic. They're not excited. Why? Because you're in the middle of being targeted.
You were in the middle of being targeted. You are being demoralized right now. The entire country has for decades, been in the middle of it, but particularly Republicans. Your targets of this. Conservatives. Why? Because look what you did in 2024. They don't want to let that slide, folks. They don't want to repeat that. They certainly don't want it in 28, and they want to see if they could kneecap Trump and the administration here in 2026. That's why you're in the middle of this. That's why you have the Tucker Carlson thing. By the way, they're out there trying to start their own party and maybe say, hey, maybe Tucker Carlson will run in 2028 for president. Give me a break. I used to really like Tucker Carlson. I mean, I love the guy. What happened? What happened to Tucker Carlson? At the end of the day, what happened to the guy? I mean, don't get me wrong, but, you know, like a talk show host isn't necessarily the guy who should be president. If you want to all talk, I guess that's the guy. But, you know, that's, it's, I would never say like, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to be the president of the United States. What have you done? What have you built?
It's just absurd. The whole thing's absurd. And he's got no chance. And I'll tell him what he's got a chance of doing. This is the evil thing. They've got a chance at electing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or whoever the Democrats put up. Might as well be working with him. I'm really, I'd be honestly, I'm really getting frustrated with that whole with that whole crew who's, well, you know, we're tired of this. Look at folks, we got to work together. We got to work together through our own differences. If you don't act and you elect Abdul, or you don't act and you elect an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or it's worse, you say, we're going to run Tucker Carlson or who else, Tucker Carlson, it'll be Tucker Carlson and then, let's see it, Joe Kent is the vice president. That's what to run. Or Thomas Massie or something like that. The problem is we've become delusional. We've become, especially any of us that have any sort of libertarian leanings. We become delusional because we buy our own press. We're in our own bubbles. We're getting the propaganda day in and day out. And we're getting the stuff that we believe in repeated to us on social media. It's an echo chamber. We're in our own echo chamber. So we're buying our own hype. That's what's the problem. Every day you log on, you're saying, same people saying they're saying, yeah, it's right, that's right, yeah. And then we get this delusion that somehow the rest of the country agrees with us. The rest of a country doesn't even know what a libertarian is. They have no idea what any of that means. They don't even know what it comes to like whether I do. Do you see how many Republicans voted for people who were not, like, oh, they were on the ballot, but they dropped out of the race? Come on, give me a break. I'm sorry, is this too much truth? Somebody turned the truth up a little. Maybe it's because you can't see me today. Somebody turned the truth up a little bit too much in my mix today. Maybe that's the problem. The only thing they're going to accomplish is kind of a, maybe like a, I don't know. Maybe it's going to be like a,
Oh, they had, yeah, they had, we've been through this before. Well, we have examples of this. Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? You remember what I'm talking about the guy? Can I finish? Can I finish? And of course, I kind of liked him. I kind of liked it back in the day. I think I was like in middle school. I think I was in middle school. When this sketch aired with, I don't look and see if I can find it because it's one of the best. It was during the time they had George H.W. Bush. And by the way, this is what got Clinton elected. Let's see. Oh, I found it. This is, oh, my gosh, this is classic. I don't know how much of this. We're going to be able to get played because. Some of it might, you know, how come I can't mute that? All right, let's, let me see this place. But this is SNL when they were actually funny. And it was Dana Carvey. That's what it was, Dana Carvey. I, Dana Carvey in the Ross Perot skit. This is, one of my point that's trying to make here is this would be Ross Perrault on steroids. That's what I'm getting at. If you, if you, if you, if you throw a Tucker Carlson, it's Ross Perrault on steroids, folks. Can I finish? Get to that later, okay? Now, Mr. Perrault's half-hour program airing tonight on ABC and CBS is entitled, Ross, you bet your hat we can win. Now, are there any questions? Mike? Yes, Mr. Perrault still hasn't answered a lot of questions about the so-called Republican dirty tricks. Mike, I think that we want to put that whole subject behind us. I mean, what was the deal with this alleged picture of his daughter? Mike, as I said, we want to keep... How was this picture allegedly altered, and how was it supposed to embarrass her? Now, hold on there, hold on one Texas minute. Now, hold on.
Don't quit now, do you? Now, is this the way we're going to play the game here? Are you guys going to keep asking these asinine questions till you see some dirty pictures? Is that what you want? Is that what you require? All right. Now, now, let's happen your way. Now, imagine, if you will, that you are a father. Now, imagine the nausea you would feel seen a picture of your daughter on the eve of her wedding, your own flesh and blood altered in this sick fashion. Take a look there. I don't even remember this. I don't remember even the, like, the point of this. But I was not old enough to vote. I think I was in middle school, but you know, I actually volunteered and did some stuff with this Ross Perot camp because I loved it. I thought it was great. Can I finish? And what did it do? It got Clinton elected. I mean, have we not been here before? Do we not learn from our lessons? I'm not saying that we can't support libertarian ideas. But the fact that we think that we're ever going to get in this two-party system, now you can say I don't like the two-party system, that's a whole other thing, right? But to ever think that we're ever going to get anything done in this two-party system? It's just crazy. It's just nutty. And what you're going to do is you're going to elect Democrats. And at a time when they're running some of the most extreme, commie jihadi candidates of all time, it's like there's never been a more dangerous moment. I'll tell you what I'd rather do. What I'd rather do is listening to Senator John Robert F. Kennedy Jr., tell you what he'd rather do. Might be the best way to end the show today. I'm prepared to stay here as long as it would take. I've been to a squillion meetings to talk about this stuff that could have been an email. I'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than go to another meeting. It is.
You know what? I'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than elect any of these people. And of course, that's what you're going to do, Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent and Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the rest of them. Come on, guys. What are you doing? Oskapy. than back alley colonoscopy colonoscopy yes i'd rather rather have one of them back alley jobs i'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than go to another meeting it is time to vote we're not going to reach agreement it's time to vote that's what god made votes that's where i am yeah i love it and i agree by the way oh my goodness Oh, I know, there's something fiery, something fiery inside today. I don't know what it is exactly. I don't know exactly what it's transpiring here, folks, but I'm glad you were at. Oh, no. No, no, no. And I agree. It looks like Facebook nuked it.
