And if you would do us a favor, write us a five-star review and share this podcast wherever you can on social media. It makes a massive difference to other people seeing this show. So with that being said, first off, thank you for that. Thank you for listening and getting involved. Senator, we've got Kamala Harris saying out loud what the future of the Democratic Party is all about. if you'll just let them have control of the House and the Senate? Well, it's Democrats gone wild. If you remember those spring break ads that would feature a bunch of scannily clad young ladies on the beach running around getting into trouble, well, that sadly is the state of the current Democrat Party. They are at Fort Lauderdale. They are chugging beers. They are in a panic. And it really is quite striking. So six weeks ago, The Democrats were supreme in their confidence. They knew that they hated Donald J. Trump. They believed the American people were going to rise up in a giant repudiation, a giant roar of orange man bad. And then suddenly a funny thing happened on the way to the office. And the numbers are not backing up what the Democrats hoped. In particular, they're redistricting plans to try to steal seats and get a majority of the House of Representatives by dramatically gerrymandering blue states. That crashed to the ground and failed mightily. And now what we're seeing is really quite amazing. At the same time in California, they're looking at the very real possibility that... A Republican governor will be elected in California. In fact, we could see a scenario where the only two people who make the runoff are both Republicans. That has California Democrats freaking out. We're going to break it all down, but we're going to start with our favorite. Someone who told us to use her own words, there are a lot of people saying, She was the most qualified person ever to run for President of the United States. You know, Kamala Harris, I will say this. She has insights no other human being on planet Earth has. Because out of 8 billion people, that idea did not occur to anyone else other than Kamala Harris. But Kamala Harris now is promising if the Democrats win.

A nice, quiet, middle of the road, moderate agenda. Here, give a listen. Yeah, it truly is amazing. We're going to play that in a moment. But before we get to that, if you have a dog and you love your dog as much as I love our new puppy birdie, then you need to check out what rough greens can do for the quality of your dog's life. It is incredible. After we saw what happened with our older dog, Memphis, we realized why wait until the dog's older? Why not give rough greens right now to Little Birdie, and we know what it does. It supports long-term health by providing live bioavailable nutrients, including essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and omega oils. Now, the ingredients, they work together to improve nutrition absorption. Also, help Bertie maintain joint and muscle health as she grows and enhance her overall vitality. Now, we care about Bertie's longevity. We've already lost two dogs, unfortunately, when they got older. And this is a way we can do everything we can to keep Bertie around as long as possible. Now, there are deficiencies found in processed dog food, but rough greens, it supplements your dog or your puppy's diet with natural antioxidants and anti- inflammatory compounds that help reduce oxidative stress, support immune defense as well, and Slow age-related decline. That's what we love the most. Now it's easy. You're not buying new food. You just sprinkle it on the current food that your dog eats and bam. They love it. So whether you've got a puppy or an older dog, you need to check out and try rough creams. You will see a difference. Now, you don't have to change your dog's food. You just add rough creams.

That's RUFF, greens with an S.com, promo code verdict. So don't change your dog's food. Just add rough greens and watch the health benefits come alive. All right, so here it is. Kamala Harris, in her own word center, it's really amazing, her plans for the country. Say, look, this is a moment where there are no bad ideas. No bad idea brainstorm is what I'd like to call it. And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the electoral college. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi-members districts. We talk about, look, that if we win the Senate, which we should and we will, then the Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in place. So when these people come before as nominees to the Supreme Court and lie,

That they are held to account and consequence, not just that somebody goes on cable news and says they lied, but that there are rules in place to actually penalize people for lying to a Senate Judiciary Committee, that we agree that it is right to have ethics rules for Supreme Court justices. And let's put those in place. Let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. These are the things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states, expanding their maps. And all of this, I think, is... Look, we got to fight fire with fire. These folks are playing to win. We got to play to win. Senator, there's a lot of things that she laid out, and I think we should go through them because it's important. But one of the ones that was obviously the most glaring to me is not only does she want to dismantle the Supreme Court any time that the Democratic Party gets a ruling they don't like. They actually want to harass Supreme Court justice so that they could, in essence, kick them off the court. and then pack the court if they still don't get what they want, that would completely undo the United States of America and our system of government as we know it now. Well, Ben, when they tell you who they are, believe them. Yeah. What is striking about the list that she laid out, she did not lay out a single thing that was a policy that affects you and your family. She didn't say we want to. arrest more criminals and keep your family safe. She certainly didn't say we want to secure the border. She didn't want to say we want to reduce taxes or make it easier for small businesses to create jobs. Those are all policies that would make a difference for you and your family. Understand the only thing Democrats are concerned with is getting in power and staying in power. Every single thing she listed was single-mindedly focused on one thing. Ringing elections so Democrats can never ever lose. You know, she began by saying there are no bad ideas. And, you know, she quickly disproved herself because every word out of her mouth was a really bad idea. I want to go through them. And I want to go through them. I actually wrote down what she said because it was astonishingly candid. You know, Kamala Harris, there are gifted politicians. Bill Clinton is a gifted politician. Barack Obama is a gifted politician. And then there are staggeringly non-gifted politicians, and that would be Kamala Harris. And one of the reasons that she is so non-gifted is, like the rest of them, she knows what their radical agenda is. She's just not clever enough to not say it out loud. So she says the quiet part that the rest of them are thinking, let's be clear, this is what Barack Obama wants to do, but he frames that we've got to save democracy. Kamala Harris doesn't put any pretty shine on it. So she started off with ending the electoral college. The electoral college is how we elect the president. What she wants to do is take away the influence of small states. She wants to take away the influence. She wants the president elected by New York and California and Illinois, the giant states.

And if you happen to live in a little state, she wants you to have zero influence in who the president is. That's where she started. And by the way, there's a lot of little states so people understand that she would get rid of the North Dakota, South Dakota, a lot of the southern states. Like she would just say, you guys don't even matter anymore. I just want people to understand when we say smaller states, we're talking about a lot of the map of the United States of America. We're talking Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, all of those become largely irrelevant. We're talking about Indiana, Missouri. Even a Tennessee. Arkansas, Mississippi, even Tennessee could be in there. No, no. This is a presidential election that is decided by New York and California and Illinois and Texas and Florida. And you would have presidential candidates spending almost all their time in those five states because that's where the bulk of the population is and ignoring 80% of the states because that's not where the population is. Why is she doing that? because the Democrat machines that have destroyed New York City, that have destroyed Los Angeles, that have destroyed San Francisco, she feels they can crank up enough votes, that it can overwhelm. Even if Democrats only win five states, she thinks they can drive enough numbers in those five states. What's the next thing she said? Supreme Court reform, expand the court. So Kamala Harris and the Democrats are big mad. They're big mad that we have a Supreme Court that's following the law. and is not willing to roll over to Democrat power grabs. And so their answer is to take the last bad idea they had, you know, FDR tried to do this. When the Supreme Court struck down several elements of the New Deal, he came up with packing the court. He wanted to grow it from nine justices to 15 justices. He had a Democrat supermajority in both the House and Senate, and the Democrats at the time, there were responsible Democrats who said no. That is an abuse of power. That's not consistent with the Constitution. We're not going to do it. The difference is today's Democrats, there are no reasonable Democrats. They just want power. So they want the Supreme Court to be a partisan arm of the Democrat Party. What's the next thing she said? Multi-member districts. Understand everything she's saying. is tearing up the Constitution, and in particular, the constitutional mechanism for democracy, how we elect our leaders. She doesn't want one House member representing one district. Why? Well, because in the last election, the Democrats lost, and in this next election, there's a very real chance the Democrats are going to lose. So she wants to make downtown New York... elect a whole bunch of different Democrat members. She wants Los Angeles to elect a whole bunch of different Democrat members. She wants Chicago to elect a whole bunch of different Democrat members. And the whole idea of one man, one vote, the whole idea of a representative representing a district, she is saying scrap the Constitution. That is the central theme. All right. Now let's shift to the Judiciary Committee. She says we need rules.

rules in the Judiciary Committee so that when you lie to the Judiciary Committee, there are consequences and you penalize them. Well, look, I got to admit, I didn't have this on my bingo card, but Kamala Harris has just come out strongly in favor of the Trump DOJ prosecuting James Comey. Because James Comey is being prosecuted for lying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee, to me. I asked him questions. He flat out lied. That is the basis for the indictment that is proceeding. By the way, the Democrats, including Kamala Harris, lit their hair on fire and said it was horrible that he was being prosecuted for lying to the Judiciary Committee. So understand what she really means is she wants a partisan Democrat Department of Justice to prosecute conservative justices. That is what the objective is, not enough to pack the court. And by the way, that's to intimidate their actual rulings, right? You stay in line, you stay in this lane if you want to stay on the Supreme Court. And if you get outside of that lane, we'll just come after you and destroy you. But by the way, never once, as Kamala Harris suggested, prosecuting Anthony Fauci, who lied repeatedly before Congress, who denied, understand Anthony Fauci. Great point. The evidence indicates that Anthony Fauci paid for the funding for the research at the Wuhan Institute for Virology. That is where they created. the COVID virus at all likelihood and created it through what's called gain of function research, which is taking existing viruses in nature and modifying them to make the more transmissible, to make them more deadly, to make them more targeted towards humans. The evidence clearly indicates that Anthony Fauci cut the checks and paid for it, and then he went before Congress and he lied over and over and over again. And by the way, You want proof of that. What did Joe Biden do on the way out? He pardoned Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress. And yet, when Kamala Harris says she wants penalties for lying to Congress, she is very specific what she wants. She wants to go after Supreme Court justices she disagrees with. What's next? Supreme Court ethics rules. This is another big bugaboo of the left. By the way, she said, we need to create Supreme Court ethics rules. Well, you know what? We have them. We have had them for a very long time. This is a not very veiled attack at Clarence Thomas. And this is something we've talked about on this podcast before. It's something we'll talk about again in August when my latest. I was going to ask you, is this subject in the book that you're writing about Clarence Thomas? And if you say no, you need to add it in there. I just want to be clear about that. Of course it is. It's a major part of the book. The book comes out in August. It is called Going Further, the incomparable Clarence Thomas. It tells his life's story, but one of the things it talks about is how the left hates him so much that they've gone after him, and there are lots of different bases, but one of the things they say is ethics rules. Well, the Supreme Court ethics rules for a long time, for decades, said that you do not disclose personal lodging or travel. So if you stay at someone's home, if someone gives you a ride, if someone feeds you a meal, you don't disclose that. That's the way the rules are written.

Clarence Thomas received advice from the lawyers who advise on these matters and was told, follow the rules so don't disclose personal hospitality. Well, the Democrats have gone crazy because over the years, Clarence Thomas and his wife, Jenny, have taken a number of trips, and in particular with Harlan Crow, who is a real estate developer in Dallas, someone's a good friend of mine, and has taken trips with him, has gone camping with him, as had meals with him. They're friends, by the way. That's the part that they want to admit from this. They're actual dear friends of the Thomas. Yes. And they've attacked Clarence Thomas. Now, number one, nobody disputes. that the ethics rules said do not disclose personal hospitality, lodging, and travel. Like, that's admitted. Number two, the other Supreme Court justices, the liberal Supreme Court justices, all did the same thing and have a lot more of it. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and yet the left doesn't care at all. Stephen Ginsburg had roughly four times as many trips, including international travel paid by the J.B. Pritzker family, which are Democrat billionaire politicians. And yet not a peep. So understand when she says we, and by the way, they change the Supreme Court ethics rules so that now you disclose that travel and lodging. So they all do it now. Before it didn't cover it, then they changed it and now it does. But the hypocrisy is she only cares about Clarence Thomas has nothing to do with the fact that he's gone on a camping trip with a Dallas real estate developer. It has everything to do with the fact that she hates, hates, hates, that he is faithful to the Constitution. And it's even worse. There is a level of vitriol and animosity to Clarence Thomas because he's African-American and dares to be a conservative. And so that's what she means there. What are the last couple of things she says? statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. Why? Because they believe that'll give them four Democrat senators. It's all about power. And then finally, she says, we need to fight red state cheating. We need blue states expanding their map. Now, the amazing thing on this, Democrats have excelled at gerrymandering for a long, long time. You know, all you have to do is look at New England. Decades, by the way. When you say a long, long time, this is something, I was talking about this last week with some students. And they asked me about why are Republicans taking so much power? They're using my, where I was born, Tennessee is the new example. They're just shocked. I was like, do you know how many other state, Democratic states out there have been doing this for decades? And I went through that list, which I think you're about to give, which we should. And they're like, we didn't know that. I'm like, so let me get this straight. You're all spun up now. about Tennessee and they're redistricting, but you're not spun up about the decades of disenfranchisement, as you just described to me, in a multitude of states up in the northeast. And it was just total blank stare, dead silence. All right, before we move on, I want to just take a moment and I want to talk to you about an organization that I think so many of you will want to be involved with. It is an organization that has been shaping the pro-life laws nationwide.

for years. A major player in creating pro-life legislation. Americans United for Life, they offer states, model bills that they can adopt and can save the lives of unborn babies. Now, over the past 50 years, Americans United for Life has filed more than 200 legal briefs. They've also helped create at least 400. pro-life bills in over 40 states by writing this model legislation. They consult with state legislatures and then they defend their own laws and other pro-life statutes in court so you know they stick. AUL's dual-front approach of writing and defending legislation has provided an incredibly effective outlook and is now having a major impact on pro-life state legislation. as it's moving to enact protections for pre-born babies, as well as their mothers. Now that the legality of abortion is returned to the states, your help is needed more than ever. And that's where you have the opportunity to help overturn pro-abortion laws and advance pro-life legislation that attacks the most vulnerable in our society. From the womb to the tomb. So together, we can shape the future of our nation through life-affirming legislation in every state. A gift of just $25 helps hold abortion providers accountable and helps protect women and unborn children across this country. And now through a match, your gift is doubled. Donate securely at aul.org slash verdict. That's AUL.org slash verdict sponsored by Americans United for Life. Well, let's go through it. Connecticut votes 42% Republican. How many Republican members of Congress are there? Zero. Maine. Maine votes 46% Republican. How many Republican members of Congress are there? I'm going to go with zero again. New Mexico, 46% Republican. How many congressional seats? Is it zero? Yep. New Hampshire, 48% Republican. 48% Republican. How many members of Congress? Zero. Rhode Island, 42% Republican. How many members of Congress? Let's go on the trend of zero again. Vermont, 32% Republican. How many members of Congress? Zero. Hawaii, 38% Republican. How many members of Congress? Zero. Delaware, 42% Republican. How many members of Congress? I'm going to go with zero again. And how about Massachusetts? 36% Republican. How many members of Congress? Zero. You are exactly right. There it is. Like in every one of those states, by the way, when the Democrats cheat, they take every seat. They don't leave any thing there. Yeah, they leave no doubt that they're cheating. They don't even say, let's give a token one just in case. So we're above reproach or we have an argument to fight back there. They're like, we don't even care. Look, you look at Virginia. Virginia right now. is about 45% of the voters in Virginia vote Republican. The current congressional map is six Democrats and five Republicans, which about reflects where the voters are. What did Abigail Spanberger and the Democrats do? They redrew the map.

to make it 10 to 1. Instead of 6.5, which was a fair and reasonable representation of the state, they wanted 10. If they could have drawn 11-0, they would have. There were just too many Republicans. They had to find one district and pack them all in that one. Yeah. Now, their plan to gerrymander the living daylights out of Virginia, it ran into a problem. And the problem was the Virginia Supreme Court, which I note was appointed by Democrats. Folks like Mark Warner, the current senator, as a Democrat governor, put those justices on the bench. The Virginia Supreme Court struck it down, said, you have violated the Virginia Supreme Court. You've got to go with your current map. And Democrats... quite literally lost their ever-loving mind. Here, I want you to put up on the screen for those who are watching on YouTube, the tweet from the governor Abigail Spanberger, because this shows, same thing as Kamala Harris. They want power, and if they're denied power, they get angry and they lash out. Here's what she said. Quote, the Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election in the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard, casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a president who said he's entitled to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve. Now, mind you, she's lashing out at the Supreme Court of the United States. Because after the Virginia Supreme Court said, what you guys did violates the Virginia Constitution, Virginia appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, by the way, their left-wing Virginia Democrat Attorney General Jay Jones, the guy who fantasized about murdering the children of a Republican state representative. He is, among other things, apparently not a very good lawyer because his pleadings to the Supreme Court misspelled the word Virginia and misspelled the word senator, senator. It was instead... It's a hard one to spell, sir. Hard one to spell. You get that one wrong all the time, right? You know, a buddy of mine says he's a senator, half man, half horse. And I got to say, if you're Attorney General of Virginia, you don't necessarily need to know how to spell supercalifragilistic espialidocious, but you probably should know how to spell Virginia. Yeah. Their appeal went to the Supreme Court. Ben, how many justices do you think agreed with Abigail Spanberger and Virginia that they should be able to break the Virginia Constitution and ram through a 10-1 map?

I'm going to say maybe one nut job on the Supreme Court, but I could say only one went with him. Am I right or wrong? You are wrong. Virginia got a total of zero justices. Nata. I was saying there was one crazy on there that would have been like, all right, fine. So it was unanimous. It was unanimous. And I got to say, if you're sitting there as a crazy Democrat and the Supreme Court unanimously rejects what you're doing, if even Ketanji Brown Jackson there says, whoa there. Whoa there. No, no, no, no. We have this thing called law, so no, thank you. that's got to say something. But yet to Democrats, it does not. I want to take a quick moment and talk to you about an incredible organization and it is called Compassion International and how you can get involved. I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her. It illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor child today. Visit compassion.com. That's compassion.com. I think that especially people that listen to the show that are younger, they hear this argument on statehood. Democrats are really leaning into this. It's becoming an election year issue multiple times over now. And the argument that young people hear and the one that they then make is, well, they're not being fairly represented. Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., representation, or taxation without representation, why should we not make sure these people have a voice in Washington, D.C.? Explain to people listening now how to defend against that argument that's being made by the left, because they are really pushing this on colleges and college students and young people in this country. Well, look, the Constitution explicitly created D.C. and the framers of the Constitution wanted our nation's capital to be a federal district that was not part of any state. They didn't want any state to be favored because the Congress was there because the president was there. And so they carved out the lines of the District of Columbia. It was originally carved out to be 10 miles by 10 miles. And then what ultimately happened is they gave the southern portion of it, everything south of the Potomac River they gave to Virginia. So what used to be D.C.

Arlington used to be part of D.C. It was given to Virginia. So it's now that 10 mile by 10 mile diamond kind of chopped, the bottom portion chopped off by the Potomac River. And the idea of the framers was quite clear that it was not fair. If you had a state that had our capital, that state would have advantages that no other state had. The only reason Democrats want D.C. to be a state. is because D.C. would immediately become the most liberal state in the union. It would make California and Illinois and New York look conservative by comparison. They want two new Democrat senators. They want one new Democrat House member. They want to be radical and extreme because, and notice it's not about any substance. Go back to Kamala Harris's list. Is there a single policy she listed? that impacts your life, that is about your job, that is about your kids, that is about your family. No, the only, only focus is power. By the way, if D.C., if they were likely to vote Republican, you would see Democrats saying making DC a state is Jim Crow. Yeah. Puerto Rico is actually a little more complicated because Puerto Rico has elected Republicans. The Democrats assume Puerto Rico will elect two Democrat senators. They might be right, but they might be wrong if Puerto Rico became a state. We would fight and vigorously contest it. I don't know if we could prevail on that or not. But their assumption, look, the Democrats, if there's one essential feature about them, they're racist. They believe all African Americans must be Democrats. That's why they hate Clarence Thomas because in their view he's a traitor to his race. They believe all Hispanics must be Democrats. That's why they hate me because they think I'm a traitor to my race. And so their view of Puerto Ricans is you must be Democrats because we, the Democrat Party, control you. I'm not sure that would play out, but look, Puerto Rico is a territory. It has a different history. And by the way, the people of Puerto Rico have long been divided on the question of whether to become a state or not. At various times in elections, they've had options of statehood. They've had options of independence. There's some in Puerto Rico that want to be a separate and independent nation. And then the third option, which is what they have now, they're a commonwealth. They get some of the benefits of American citizenship, but yet they're not fully a state. And the people of Puerto Rico have long disagreed on that. Democrats don't care about any of that. All they want is power. And I'll point to another instance. We've talked about Kamala Harris nationwide. We've talked about Virginia and Governor Abigail Spanberger both gone wild. And then you look at California. So, all right, here's a story in the New York Post, Bay 16th. California sees massive surge in Republican votes as more than 900,000 ballots already returned. Could the state of California actually be turning red? Early voters in the Golden State have already returned more than 900,000 ballots ahead of the June 2nd primary, showing a massive surge in Republican votes compared to four years ago for the governor's race.

A post on Saturday from the research firm Political Data PDI showed that out of 905,889 ballots that have been returned, 37% were from Republicans, with Republican returns up 11% compared to the same stage of the 2022 midterm. So Republican votes up 11%. More shocking. is the fact that the data showed 41% of Democrats who have returned their ballots down 13 points from the same moment in the primary election four years ago. So Republicans up 11%, Democrats down 13%. Now, we all know because they tell us incessantly. Democrats are committed to democracy. And they beat their chest when they say it and they get a little tear in the corner of their eye. It is democracy with a trademark on it. It is capital D democracy. And by democracy, what do they mean? They mean any... decision-making apparatus that elects Democrats. That's how they define democracy. If the voters vote for something they don't like to hell with the voters, the Democrats want what they want. So Gavin Newsom, California has this really weird system of electing governors where you vote for their like 60 candidates on the ballot, both Republicans and Democrats. They got rid of a primary. And the way it works, the top two candidate vote getters then go to a runoff. There are right now, two strong Republicans who are in the top four, Steve Hilton and Chad DeBanco, those two could possibly end up one and two. If that happened, it would mean the runoff would have only Republicans. By the way, it was Democrats who designed this system because they wanted every election to feature just two Democrats. They wanted to ensure that there wasn't even a Republican on the general election ballot. They assumed they could take the top two seats and just clean. Every time. Yeah, every time in this, and then they'd never have to worry about a Republican winning again. You know, and it turns out when you do things like let your city burn to the ground, not fill in the water, let homeless people on the streets, let, let, uh, needles and robbery and abuse the economic system so much, propose a wealth tax to confiscate people's wealth, destroy jobs, cause a massive exodus of people fleeing California. It turns out when you really, really, really screw up running the state or running, say, the city of Los Angeles, eventually people notice. And so here's Gavin Newsom. I want you to listen to Gavin Newsom talking about what would happen. if Republicans win the top two spots in the election, if California voters choose to vote Republican. We all have agencies. We can shape the future. There's still a lot. Look, I've said this before, so I'll repeat it. I don't anticipate this need to be the case, but there is a break the glass scenario. And there's many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out. And we're going to do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. I'll leave it then.

So in other words, we're just going to rig elections? Is that basically the response? Don't worry, this may happen once, but it'll never happen again, Senator? Look, what he called the break the glass scenario. Understand what he's saying to the voters. If you pesky voters vote Republican. And if the top two candidates that come into the runoff are both Republicans, he will, quote, break the glass. And I don't know what the heck that means. What? Throw one of the Republicans out of the election, cancel the election. I mean, anything he's talking about, do you know what you just witnessed there? A promise of an insurrection. That is in fact what he is doing. It's a fair way of saying it. You're basically saying even if you guys decide to go a different way, we won't let you. He said, we have the agencies, we have the power, there are break the glass scenarios. If Republicans win, this is, he's literally declaring war on the voters. He's saying, you voters have no say in the state. And if God forbid from his perspective, you choose to vote for Republicans, you deny us power, we will use our power to crush the voters. This is Democrats gone wild. And look, Gavin Newsom, Abigail Spanberger, Kamala Harris, they're all doing the same thing.
