BREITBART REPORT WITH BRADLEY JAYE 8/12/26

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:32

We are disappointed Russell Fry did not win. We were really pulling for him for him. He's our congressman here in District 7. And we personally are very disappointed he does did not win, but we're also thrilled that Darlene didn't win outright. We are not supportive of Darlene. What did you make of the results?

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Look, if you have the Trump endorsement and a primary, a statewide primary, and you get 33% of the vote. That is that is not encouraging. Look, these short term quickly called and held primaries are always kind of up in the air. You don't know what's going to happen until it happens. Ralph Norman, our friend from the the north uh uh west corner of the state, uh he made that runoff with 24%. And you gotta think that he's feeling pretty good about where he is right now. If he look, we're only two weeks away from the runoff. If he can consolidate the rest of the vote that went against the incumbent, I mean, yeah, he got 24% to uh well she's styling herself as Senator Graham. I'm I'm refuse to do that. Senator Nordone. Uh if if he can consolidate all of that vote that went against Senator Nordone, you gotta think he's feeling pretty good about where he's.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Now it's interesting, Bradley. I'm um curious, um, why are you not um too keen on the idea of the coronation of uh Darlene?

SPEAKER_01 2:25

So well, I will just say that she is going to have to thread a needle here and over the next two weeks where she has to both say, yes, I haven't really been involved in politics of my entire life and career. Uh I don't have a voting record that is longer than two weeks old. Uh no one really knows where I stand on things. Uh yet I will be a conscientious uh conservative and uh who fights for the issues that we care about. She is going to have to convey that to voters hard enough already, while also showing the voters, oh, but I'm not like my brother at all, who was kind of unpopular in the state, certainly in like the MAGA wing. I don't want to to bomb every single uh uh potential enemy who pops his head out from behind uh a rock or around the world. That is an incredibly difficult needle to thread. I think that she was put into a very difficult position when she was uh appointed to this seat. Trump got behind her, and you know, that's fine. He said I think he called it a fitting tribute for her to serve out the remainder of the remainder of her brother's term. That's that that that's that's quite a way of looking at things. Uh and and um and at the time, like most people, I believe, I did not think that she would r then run for the term on her own.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

She she certainly didn't employ the kind of language that sh would suggest she did that. I I I'll be honest, I I I oof I I I I felt like I don't want to say inappropriate. That might be going a little bit too far. Uh, but I don't know that it that move looked correctly, and I'm not sure that it looked correct, and I'm not sure that it was the right thing to do.

unknown 4:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

And I feel like a lot of the voters aren't gonna uh if they may feel similarly. Uh that and that's why I think, again, if if our friend Ralph Norman can consolidate the rest of the folks, that anti-incumbent vote that went for other candidates, that went for uh Russell Fry, that went for Mark Sanford, that went for Mark Lynch, he might even be in the catbird seat.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Yeah. Yeah. I I I I added it up. I did math this morning. 65% did not vote for Darlene. So um we have a good chance here. It seems very similar to our primary for uh governor. And uh everyone consolidated uh uh behind uh 70 percent consolidated behind Alan Wilson. So uh we'll see what happens. We still have Russell as a congressman and he could try again in 2032. Now let's move on to the socialist uh um aspect of things regarding primaries. Can you give us a roundup and where we dodged a bullet and where we didn't?

SPEAKER_01 5:35

It's hard to say if we we dodged a bullet in some of these races or not. I think if you look at Wisconsin, where the Republican nominee is Tom Tiffany uh for governor, he would have loved to have faced off against uh the the progressive like DSA candidate Francesca Hong. I think that everybody assumed him, certainly all the pollsters who had her winning by 15 and 20 points assumed that she would win. She lost she ended up losing by just over 3,000 votes with uh somewhere around like 700,000 cast, uh just an incredibly close race. She wasn't even spending money. What little she had, she spent on digital ads. Uh the pollsters got that one way wrong. Just uh a week or so after getting the El Said race, uh, well wrong. Yes, he won by a percentage point, but he was projected to win by double digits. Uh she is different. She isn't as intelligent or charismatic or capable or uh as as El Said is. Uh, and that's why I think a lot of the national Democrat uh DSA type establishments, Democrat Socialist of America stayed away from her. Uh AOC didn't endorse her, Bernie didn't endorse her. That might have put her over the top. There are also some different dynamics that race. The other progressive dropped out uh about two weeks ago. After early voting had begun, he got about uh he got a little bit over uh uh ten times the necessary vote that if it would have gone for her, she would have won that race. So just some real interesting dynamics in again. That that tells you, you know, the perils of early voting. Uh I mean the your candidate can drop out and then your vote is wasted, and the candidate that you would have supported lost. I mean, just real wild there. But then in Minnesota, in the senatorial Democrat contest there, you had the progressive pretty soundly uh beat, who is the Chuck Schumer-esque type candidate. You had uh the lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan uh beat by 13 or 14 points, Congresswoman Angie Craig. And listen, Nick, I mean this tells you how quickly the Democrat Party has moved, how their expectations have moved. Just a year and a half ago, Angie Craig voted for the Lake and Riley Act, which is pretty straightforward. If you are an illegal alien who has committed certain crimes, you have to be detained. She was apologizing for that vote in the final stages of this campaign because I mean racist apologizing. I don't think she apologized to Lake and Riley's family, but I mean that tells you where these primaries have gone. If you do anything uh that step that is not just in lockstep with the most radical fringes of the party, I mean, it's it's the kiss of death, and her career is now over.

SPEAKER_03 8:33

You know, Bradley, I have a question. I want to go back to the uh really bad polling that's been going on. It's been going on for a while, but it seems like recently it's been really bad. I mean, they had hung up 20%, 25%, you know, in the in the weeks preceding the actual election, you know, held last night. Do we know why, what's going on there, why the polling can be so off?

SPEAKER_01 8:58

We don't know. Uh clearly there is a dis disconnect. And look, in a in a primary, you you poll primaries differently than you do generals. In a primary, when you're trying to figure out who a likely voter is, is difficult. Clearly, in in some states, there is uh a disconnect between in perceived enthusiasm for one of these radical left candidates and actually getting them to the polls. Keep in mind that El Said and Hong, while incredibly different candidates, neither one of them had the kind of uh uh financial backing to have a robust get out the vote type campaign. Uh look, money is still the mother's milk of politics. Uh, I can tell you, having worked in in campaigns for most of my adult life, uh, it is incredibly difficult and expensive to identify potential voters, get them registered, uh, get them motivated to go to the polls or to vote early, and to ensure that that's actually done. That's why people like uh Scott Pressler are so valued on the right, because they they they do that hard, not glamorous work. Uh, but clearly there were some struggles to do that uh in at least those two races that I mentioned. Uh Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota, uh, who is Lieutenant Governor, she's already a statewide uh official, she's already won on the state level and has that type of machinery. She was uh able to do that, and her results match the polls a little bit more closely. Uh but the DSA, they're already calling the shots in Democrat politics. Uh they're already pulling, or thus far, they've been pulling their candidates and uh the elected officials uh their way on a lot of these issues. Will these polling results show that if they don't have the the type of institutional backing, they aren't as viable in a general or excuse me, in a primary election? That's uh that might be the case. However, if they can get elected, what does that mean for their viability in a general election? Uh is are these the types of candidates who, whether uh out of uh principle or or pragmatism, uh the Democrat establishment that does have the money, that does have the type of uh machinery uh to get folks to the polls, will they back these types of candidates still in November? I mean there's so much to watch, but there's a lot of questions being asked uh this morning about the Democrat uh the the the projection of the Democrat Party uh as I mean, look, primary campaigns, primary season, it's ending. We're pivoting to the general, and as I've been saying going back to last year, the Democrat Party is overdue for a civil war because they really haven't had a contentious presidential primary since Obama won in 2008. Their coalition has been held together by uh by uh primarily there are a couple other factors, notably McConnell endorsing some very bad candidates for Senate and not endorsing some good ones. And then because of the Voting Rights Act and some other things, there have been some unconstitutional gerrymandering that has hidden the fact uh that Democrats because they've won a bunch of house seats they wouldn't have otherwise won, it's hidden the fact that there's some dissent in the ranks and that the party is in worse shape than it is. But primarily it's been anti-Trumpism that has held the party together over the past ten years. They've got a lot to work out, and I think that the results last night showed uh that we might see that war begin now and not in 2028, and I'm here for that.

SPEAKER_03 13:06

Aren't they also broke the DNC on a national level?

SPEAKER_01 13:10

That's a great point, Nick. And look, the the DNC is limited in like how involved it weighs in directly on primaries. Obviously, that's not its job. However, its job is to build out the Democrat machine in all these states, and that's the type of thing uh that can ensure that voters get the polls and all that, and that you would think would benefit a candidate who is a little bit more Democrat establishment type. Uh Democrat candidates, certainly in the Senate races in these battleground states uh going into November, have a lot of money, a lot more than their uh Republican opponents. So the candidates will have money to spend. Uh but look, the DNC go even going one cycle without having the money to do the things it needs to do, that's the kind of thing that can handicap a party for years to come. That has real consequences. It might not be felt as much uh in this cycle, but it's going to be felt in 2028, there's no doubt about it.

SPEAKER_00 14:16

So this is the thing that keeps me up at night is this Abdul El Sayed. And I was, you know, last night um scrolling through all these TikTok videos that he's been putting out. And he's handsome debonair, he's got the smile, he's got the look of Mandami, you know, it's very sexy and sexy, and he's putting on all this sex appeal. And I'm telling you this because these liberal white women are enamored by this man. They're calling him sexy, they're playing sexuality. You know, they're playing with sex. He's thinking of sexual. They are falling in love with this guy. And he wants this primary mistake. But the danger of adult scientist is that he is American-born of immigrants, of Egyptian disciples. Um here we are, like he's winning the hearts of these women. And they are very powerful voting bloc for the Democrats and the Liberals. Um I am very afraid of this individual. I really am. That's who I'm I'm keeping my eye on. I'm scared.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

I'm I'm very scared of liberal white women. Uh they pose just such an incredible danger uh to this country. If you look at how they vote, like you said, they're like, I call them the white yoga ladies.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

I love yoga, but the white yoga ladies, they're the scary ones.

SPEAKER_01 15:56

The moment when I first became truly scared of El Said was when he did that blues clues video when he dressed like Steve from Blues Clues and did his little dance like he was dancing for for children at that. I realized it was horrific. It was at that moment I knew if a man wants power so badly that he is willing to just shamelessly debase himself and do a video like that, that is a man who wants power because he is gonna use it. These people have no shame, they want to win at all costs. And unlike Republicans, who most Republican officials want to win just so they can sit in Washington and do nothing and get feeded at night by the lobbyists and uh at these campaign events and drink their martinis and all that and just have a good time. The yeah, exactly. These uh these Democrats, this new class of Democrats, they want power because they want to burn the country down and rule over the ashes. It is incredibly scary. You're right.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

That's exactly how I feel. And you know what? I don't know if you're a millennial, but millennials love blues clues. My son loves blues clues in his 30s. Early 30s. And that is from blues clues. Okay. And that is really criteria because they have been centered by social media, and they have been targeted for the last year. Their whole lives are actually through gaming and social media and MySpace and all that whole generation. Um we're in danger because he's American-born. And he's a rising star. He really is. That's scary.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

And there's going to be a big fight on whether it's if El Said wins and it's not uh slam dunk that he does, I think there will be a uh a big fight over whether it's El Said or AOC who carries the far left mantle in the 2028 presidential election.

SPEAKER_00 18:17

I think she campaigned for him, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:20

She did.

SPEAKER_00 18:21

With Bernie Sanders. Like they didn't touch the other guy, but they like this guy. Because he did not he can be president. That's why.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Yep. It's it's uh it's scary, and the people to blame are the Democrats and their Republicans, though the weak Republicans who went along with just letting in hordes and hordes of people from parts of the country who would would not assimilate if they had the choice and are disincentivized from ins assimilating because we bring them in such numbers that they don't have to learn the language, they don't have to learn the customs, they don't have to adopt the culture. Uh, it's almost almost funny seeing these Democrats who've been hoisted on their own petard there uh because they thought these folks would always vote Democrats, so they brought them in by the truckloads by the tens of millions. And yeah, they're gonna vote Democrat, but Democrat Socialist of America, they're actually taking over the Democrat Party from the Democrats, and these weak Republicans who just sat around and and watched it happen and went along with it because the chamber wanted more voters or uh uh uh wanted uh cheap labor and more uh c uh uh buyers of cheap consumer goods, it's just shameless. It is it's a bad situation we're in.

SPEAKER_00 19:38
