The state has a big choice to make. Will it nominate really an about socialist whose only business experience was running a ramen shop into insolvency? The answer is, you betcha. >> I voted for Francesca Hong. >> It's nice to see someone who's like me. Uh, to be in um, in in the office. And um, she's a single mom. I'm not a single mom, but I was at one point. >> She's uh, part of the working class. >> Mhm. >> She's um, a woman um, who understands uh, women's issues. And also she's um, a breath of fresh air here for Wisconsin. >> Well, that is your brain on social media. A personal biography of failure is considered a plus among the historically illiterate. But Wisconsin's in a bind. The incumbent Democrat Tony Evers endorsed Hong's opponent David Crowley, who himself dropped out of the race, then just got back in. Now Evers is hitting Hong. >> He has spent the whole entire on his campaign dealing with uh, not with the issues, but what what's on the Twitter. And I just find that that's not a good way to beat Tom Tiffany. >> Well, he's enthralling. My God, the definition of a moribund Tony Evers. Well, let's just hope he's right though, because the times they are a changing. Hong's running on personality and the promise of free stuff. And she doesn't care about Tony. >> Have you spoken to Evers? >> I've not spoken to the governor yet. It's quite early. I want to let him have his coffee first. >> Evers, Evers, let's call call the whole thing off. Now Republicans are seeing all of this play out and think that Hong would be a gift to the GOP in November. Politico reported that pro-Republican packs, including one associated with the Republican Governors Association, have spent millions of dollars to boost Hong in the primary. But, this could always backfire. So, Wisconsin should not get sidetracked on Hong's hot takes on Thanksgiving or Halloween, as amusing as they are or revealing as they are. But, they are not the key reasons that socialism itself is dangerous. Socialism is designed to kill private industry and spur widespread government dependence. That's when you lose your freedom. freedom. You know it's bad when the Washington Post editorial board issued a warning a few days ago. If Hong is elected, businesses will flee Wisconsin under the crushing weight of new taxes and new regulations. Adding that, like most socialists, Hong is in denial about the costs and consequences of her proposals. >> If Hong, do they leave the state? >> You know, discussing that hypothetical is um a little bit uh I'm confused about that. However, let's look at all the other policies that we have talked about that we have been fighting for with our campaign. When there is free childcare, when there is fully funded public schools, when there's uh legalization of cannabis, I think that we can improve the quality of life for millionaires and ensure that they too will be able to live, work, and thrive here in our state. >> Oh, is that what's going to happen under socialism, live, work, and thrive? Where is that happening anywhere in the world where true socialism actually took root? Answer, nowhere. Now, the bottom line on socialism, it never changes. They're preparing to come for everything you have, your home, your car, your air conditioning, your 401k, and yes, your factory. factory. They want it all because you don't deserve any of it. You don't deserve the fruits of your labor because, by definition, they arose out of the corrupt capitalist system. So, if you want to keep more of what you earn, fight this with everything you have. Take nothing for granted. Here to discuss this Wisconsin Congressman Bryan Steil and Evan Booker, former Democrat campaign operative. Congressman, let's start with you. I think it's a mistake for Republicans to kind of laugh this off and think that socialism can't win in Wisconsin. We certainly hope it does not. But these policies lead to ruin and will do to Wisconsin what similar policies have already done to Minnesota. Your take tonight. tonight. >> Uh you're you're exactly right. Her positions are beyond concerning. Some of them appear comical, but she believes them. She wants to abolish the border, abolish police, and unleash and remove people from prisons. But when you get to the economic policies, it gets even worse. She wants to implement a new payroll tax, increase taxes, which will push employers and jobs out of the state. This election in Wisconsin, if she wins tonight and by all appearances she will, is more than just a red versus blue battle. This is going to be for the soul of our state. Do we want to continue the prosperity and freedoms that we have? Or are we going to go down a very dark and dangerous road to socialism that she is advocating for? >> Evan, I think when you think about the Midwest, people forget that American socialism really began in the Midwest. I mean, the early part of the 1900s, you know, Eugene Debs, he made the trip up to Wisconsin and met with the editorial uh you know, folks up there and it was the cool new thing. You know, we were fighting the rise of socialism for you know, much of the 20th century. So, the idea that this could just be a flash in the pan, maybe, but I I always tell my Republican friends, don't laugh this off. This is a serious threat to the American Republic as we know it today. >> Well, I think you're right, Lauren. I think right now people are really hurting financially. You know, they're struggling to pay for their health care. They're struggling to get good jobs. Um they're struggling to pay for their rents. And so, I think, you know, when you have somebody like Hong that comes along, yes, she has a ton of baggage. I mean, this is a woman who said that she was anxious to be around white people. Wisconsin is a state that is 85% white. So, you know, I'm sure those are going to be playing um on the attack ads this fall. But, at the same time, this is a climate where even though she has this baggage, her message could break through because people are in real financial pain right now and they don't feel like the current administration is really paying enough attention to what's going on with the economy. >> Yeah. Well, you want to know a way to derail uh wages rising uh among the middle class? Flood the country with 10 million more illegal immigrants and kill the tariffs that are actually stopping Chinese imports from coming into the United States. That's a way to kill the American dream real fast. Congressman, your Democrat colleague Wesley Bell unseated Cori Bush in 2024, able to beat her again last week in the primary there. He had a message to some of the far left candidates. Watch this. >> Working-class families don't want to see um police defunded and ended. We don't but working-class families who are impacted by crime don't want to see prisons abolished. At some point, many of these folks in that in that camp have to decide, okay, are you with us so we can get things done or you want some different agenda that doesn't align with the agenda of the overwhelming number of Americans. Americans. >> Uh interesting point, especially among black voters uh in, you know, states across this country, maybe not so many in Wisconsin, but certainly we saw this play out last week uh in Michigan. >> When you look at the Democratic When you look at the Democratic policies, the voters don't want the radical policies. But the Democratic Party has been hijacked by radical activists that are driving forward this socialist agenda. That That is true. Americans have many struggles right now financially. And the siren song of the socialist calling is attentive to a lot of people. It's why in this election it's going to be so important to go back and explain how the Republican policies of reducing taxes, on tips, on overtime, on social security are so important to making life more affordable and making this an issue campaign in the state of Wisconsin and across the country. >> Evan, really quickly, 15 seconds. Republicans have to do more to actually tell the story of socialism and why their policies are going to work. >> I agree with you and I think that, you know, to your point about tariffs, you know, I'm somebody who supports Donald Trump's tariffs policies. I think the administration should be out there telling people how this is going to bring jobs back and explaining the jobs that are already coming back. I mean, I think the messaging needs to be focused on the home front right now. And that's what I'd like to see them do heading into the midterms. >> Yeah, big big time in the realm of conflict is a a little bit of a struggle in that regard. Congressman Evan, both of you, thank you so much. >> We turn to several bombshell revelations about the Democrats radical Senate nominee in Michigan. On social media, Abdul El-Sayed portrays an over-the-top, happy-go-lucky activist loves to sing and dance, but in reality, El-Sayed's policies, guess what? And policy positions, his associations, as we already know, past comments that paint a very different picture. In addition to Haiti, Michigan's storied Mackinac Island, there is a long list of other oh wonderful American things that Abdul El-Sayed apparently absolutely despises. According to the K files, a report on CNN, a now removed video from 2024 shows Elsayed complaining, quote, "Fireworks suck." suck." I love fireworks. Anyway, he begged Americans to find a different way to celebrate the 4th of July, citing concerns over the environment and children and pets. But, that's not all. In another deleted video from 2022, get this, Elsayed mocking concerns surrounding the crisis at our southern border, quote claiming that the border, quote, "Doesn't even make the top five among issues that people in the US actually care about, uh that affect their lives." According to the same report. Other clips [snorts] show Elsayed calling for the Second Amendment to be repealed, replaced with a right to government-run healthcare. Uh and the newly nominated Democrat also trashing football over its toxic masculinity. Take a look. >> Football, um is very much associated with a, you know, particularly masculine and oftentimes toxic, toxically masculine, uh culture. And so much of it was about you wanted to be able to get back up and play for your team. And you you really aren't allowed to show pain or vulnerability. That's part of the sport. sport. >> All right. In a state dominated by the Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State football, the Detroit Lions, uh I don't think that's going to go over very well. But, according to CNN, Elsayed even compared football to slavery, uh openly questioned if the sport could be, quote, ethical. Apparently, Elsayed also had ethical concerns about cash bail and prisons. Take a look at this. >> We've got We've got uh uh policies like money bail, uh which basically force people into jail cuz they're poor. Um and beyond that, right? The the the broader question of um how many people are left languishing in uh prison facilities who don't need to be there. Any and all efforts to uh get people out of jails and prisons and to keep people out of jails and prisons um is policy that we need to be investing in particularly right now. Uh but this doesn't end when the pandemic's over, right? We we shouldn't have to have uh a global pandemic to force us to to find our humanity. Uh this should just be what we do because it's the right thing to do. >> So, El Sayed has a lot of deeply profound ethical concerns about cash bail, football, fireworks, but he has no problem at all with his buddy, his pal, his BFF, Assaam Pyke. You remember the guy that called for the streets to run red with the blood of landlords. The guy that, you know, of course, praised 9/11, uh blamed America for 9/11, praised Hamas, trashed uh African-Americans, uh the guy that dresses up like Chairman Mao, his friend. In a statement to CNN, the El Sayed campaign is trying to distance their candidate from nearly all of these past uh positions, but keep in mind these are recent comments from El Sayed, some within the last 2 years. Now, much earlier, a 2009 uh as a medical student, Abdul El Sayed was interviewed by The New York Times for an article about Islamic banking unearthed by The Washington Free Beacon. Traditionally, in Islam, interest on loans is prohibited, creating the need for alternatives to mortgages. But, El Sayed took it a step further, telling the Times, quote, "Ultimately, the question is, when I die and stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don't want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Sharia compliant way. Not because of fear, but because of obligation." Again, this was about an article about Islamic mortgage alternatives. Anyway, in a statement the El Sayed campaign said, quote, "Abdul believes in the separation of church and state while he personally strives to live by the rules of his faith, as many Americans do. Abdul opposes any effort by any religious community to write faith laws into the laws of our country." What does he stand on Sharia? I'd like the answer to that. So, what will Michigan voters think about all this? this? >> So, here's some really fun tape. Roll it, Sven. >> [applause] >> So, there's a happy bunch. You'd almost think they discovered a new cleaning product. product. product. >> [laughter] >> Thanks, Jim. So, what was that lady signing? A new law that puts child predators behind bars? A new bill that castrates kidnappers? Legislation that makes lethal injection mandatory for anyone who listens to a Brian Kilmeade audio book without headphones? Nope. They're ecstatic that Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed a bill that allows you to abort a healthy viable baby right up to birth if you can find a doctor willing to do it. it. And given that this is Massachusetts, the same state that protects child mutilation under the lie of gender affirmation, affirmation, that search won't be hard. Now, I didn't believe this law was real. Abort up to birth? Why not wait till they're in kindergarten and get them while they're napping? What's next? Abortion if a fifth grader brings home a bad report card? Surely this can't be right, right? Nope. I did something I rarely do, research, research, and found out, yeah, this is real. The old law banned most abortions after 24 weeks, with exceptions for the mother's life or severe fetal problems. The new one replaces all that with one gloriously vague standard, professional judgment. It's like the same standard used by our nation's plastic surgeons. No gestational cutoff, no required medical justification. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater, which these people is the goal. We've gone from rare but legal to if you don't like your baby, you can kill your baby. Supporters swear this is only about rare tragic cases, yet the law doesn't actually require the case to be rare or tragic. They also say women no longer have to flee the state to kill a healthy baby. Makes sense with gas prices being what they are, it could get pretty expensive. expensive. But critics point out the obvious. The law itself contains zero guardrails against elective abortions on healthy babies. The bill deliberately traded limited exceptions for an open-ended doctor knows best free-for-all. It's like replacing a locked door with a please don't rob us sign, then acting shocked when your place is emptier than Jasmine Crockett's head. Meanwhile, the lefty media will deny that healthy babies with healthy moms are being murdered, of course until they say it's a good thing. But a woman can decide the day before her due date that she's changed her mind, and who knows why? All she needs is a doctor who sees abortion as not just routine, but a sacrament. A lunatic who believes the magic of being a woman isn't that you can bear a child, it's that you can eliminate one. That's not healthcare, that's infanticide. Look, a healthy baby in the final weeks can feel pain, react to the world, and survive outside the womb with medical care. care. We call killing a newborn murder. Doing it 5 minutes earlier inside the womb only means the crime scene has better lighting and a nicer waiting room. Because it's a child, outsourcing your guilt to a doctor doesn't change that. When the law shrugs and says we need to keep the requirements open-ended cuz we just don't know what the reason could be to abort, you see where this flexibility leads. It's just another step toward the ultimate amoral bottom. We might already be there. The applauding women, they're like mullahs celebrating public executions. The party line always comes ahead of the individual. individual. And so a class of humans becomes disposable in a moral free fall. Cuz if you can't see the baby baby, you can murder it. Oh, they'll pull out all the stops to defend a death row killer or a drunk illegal who runs over a teen, but an inconvenient child, that kid's doomed before his first day on Earth. >> LOOK WHO WE GOT. TONIGHT'S GUEST. >> [applause] >> HE USUALLY TRAVELS WITH six background dancers. Also making money off Fox Business, CHARLES PAYNE. SHE'S A FINANCIAL CORRESPONDENT. Proof that one woman [music] could do math. New York Post COLUMNIST LYDIA MOYNIHAN. >> [cheering] [applause] [applause] >> WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM anymore because they're building a school 200 yards away. Co-hosts of the Anthony and Jim Joe podcast, JIM NORTON. >> [cheering] [applause] [applause] >> AND SHE WENT FROM MICKEY MOUSE to the White House. Former Disney star and Trump White House official, Caroline Sunshine. Sunshine. Sunshine. >> [applause and cheering] >> Charles, I didn't believe this. Do you have to I had to do my own research, which you know, Charles, I'm against. >> Yeah. >> And I had to I didn't believe this. Is this like mind-boggling? >> It's uh it's beyond mind-boggling. I got goosebumps as you were doing that read. It's it's uh you know, so tough. Listen, I believe life begins in conception, right? And and we had in this country the sort of compromise that okay, it's a woman's right but you have a limit on this thing, right? And uh you know, it's an unsettling compromise maybe for everyone, but this is murder. Bottom line, this is out and out murder. And to celebrate it, I could I guess that could watch them they probably they probably sit around and watch videos of baby seals getting clubbed and cheer that because that's how disheartening this whole thing is. [snorts] >> It does feel like, Charles, that it's almost a religion in the sense that they have to show that public glee. It's like we have to be in agreement and so that if a woman hears about this and feels that it's wrong, it's your problem because look, there's 20 women there and they're all politicians who think this is great. >> Yeah, well, uh I think I think women probably are going to most women aren't going to let that impact them. That's probably to assuage their own guilt, you know, the the fact of the matter is all those women there cannot feel good about it. If you look into their eyes and into their souls, they cannot feel good about this, but they're long for the charade and that's all this is is a charade, but it's a deadly charade. >> Mm. Lady, do you have any good abortion jokes? jokes? jokes? >> [laughter] >> I was counting on you to do that, Greg. I feel like that was a missed opportunity. opportunity. >> one. Knock knock. >> Who's there? >> You'll never know. Yeah, it's it's what At what point is abortion indistinguishable from infanticide? They keep moving it and moving it. >> And to think, I mean, there's babies that are born weeks or months earlier that make it in the ICU, and the parents, because they love their child, will do everything they possibly can to keep that baby on life support, but I guess if if you just are unlucky enough to have a parent who decides, "Not feeling anymore," you're going to be literally discarded. and I mean this is grim grim stuff. I also think this kind of speaks to a larger issue on the left of the sort of authoritarian streak that we're seeing that it's not enough to be tolerant of what they want to do. You have to celebrate it. You have to applaud. You have to give it a standing ovation and I'm old enough to remember when those coexist bumper stickers were really popular growing up outside Portland, Oregon. Oregon. Now the left doesn't care about coexisting. They want to force whatever their agenda is on everybody else and this line about oh we just want a woman and her doctor to make this decision. No, you also want taxpayers to pay for it, right? You want all of us to be part of it and you want to teach children in public schools that this is a good thing. So this this isn't even just something that they want for themselves. They want everyone else to be complicit. >> Yeah and you know what the thing is they're going to say well you could trust a doctor but the reason why I included plastic surgeons is because all those guys are MDs but if you pay somebody enough they will ruin your face. face. >> I mean think about all of the Tik Tok videos that went so viral of health care professionals saying they would try and murder an ice officer, right? Celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder. There's some there's some bad people out there in the industry. >> Yeah. So Carolyn Sunshine, what a bright name for this topic. Uh Uh how do you get I was trying to think of an analogy for a liberal to understand this. This would be like uh gun advocates uh that they don't just pass an open carry. carry. Uh you can actually carry a loaded machine gun anywhere you want into bars, schools and police stations. Uh we would no, make it a grenade launcher. That's kind of what it it's like there's absolutely no limitations whatsoever on what you can do. >> Yeah. No, I was told this was a comedy show. show. show. >> [laughter] >> And the last time I was here we talked about rape allegations and now we're talking about killing children and I don't know No, I'm kidding. Um Um but, you know what's interesting? I saw that clip, and in it she goes, you know, you have to think about all the people that will never meet and that will never know that this law will affect. And I'm thinking, yeah, you could start with the unborn children, although I don't think that's who she was talking about. You know, we talk a lot about women with this issue. It is interesting cuz if a guy, right, were to abandon his kid, he's he's a deadbeat dad. >> Mhm. >> But if a woman abandons her kid, it's it's pro-choice. >> Mhm. >> And it's just interesting because you know, it takes two people to make a baby. baby. baby. >> Mhm. >> One of them's a man. Um I could say that on this network. I don't think I could say that on other networks um um cuz everybody's sane. Um but it takes two people to make a baby. baby. The second the child's born, the man has custodial rights that he has to fulfill, but there's a 9-month period where he doesn't get any say. >> Yeah. >> And I just think it's such a human I mean, again, this is a comedy show, but but I've had people in my life that I love who have been affected by this, who have made that decision. And I'll tell you I don't think it's something to be glamorized or taken lightly. I have seen the mental health impact that it has on people, that it's a decision that stays with people for a lifetime, and it causes a lot of pain, and I don't think there's anything empowering or to be glamorized about it. That's just >> Why don't they I don't understand how they wouldn't mention the exceptions in the law? They just said, you know what? You know, you know, it they'll be rare exceptions. Well, like what? And they won't say because they want to leave that open. It's so bizarre. >> Yeah, well, that's also that's part of it. They're not seeing it the way that that you and I are seeing it. >> TIM, HOW YOU DOING? >> GREG, never better. >> I KNOW. I HEAR YOU GOT A NEW SHOW. >> I do, yes. Uh my friend Anthony and I are hosting a comedy podcast where we offer 10-MONTH ABORTIONS. >> [laughter] >> UH NO, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY. WE JUST I DON'T KNOW HOW the country got so radical. radical. radical. >> Yeah. >> Like we we love radical thinking and then we complain like we can't comprehend the radical thinking. Like this is insane. >> Yeah. >> And and there are also people who believe that an 11-year-old who's been raped should be forced to carry a baby. Like there's no We allow these people to to to kind of run the show and then we all just sit back and complain and go, "How did it all get so crazy?" >> Mhm. >> Like I mean I've spoken at a lot of women's rights rallies. Um they they think I'm a lesbian. >> [laughter] >> And I you know, this might not be popular, but I think abortion should be up to the guy. >> [laughter] >> If you feel like dealing with it, you deal with it. If not, what the hell now? >> [laughter] >> THAT'S MY OPINION. HOLD ON. SIR, I'M [laughter] KIDDING. YOU CAN WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU SAW THE GODFATHER? I CAN'T BELIEVE AL PACINO'S IN THE MAFIA. >> [laughter] >> OH [laughter] MY GOD. >> ALL RIGHT.
