The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, welcome, welcome. Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Great to be together. We’ve got another great show for you.
It’s time to catch up with John Schlafly today. We’ll talk with John Schlafly later on in the program. He’s got another column, The Schlafly Report, this one about what’s happening in Georgia. I happen to have been preparing some radio commentaries. If you don’t know what’s going on in Georgia, in Fulton County, you don’t understand how what maybe feels like small players are having a national and international impact, which is to say the Fulton County prosecutor is elected by the people of Fulton County. It’s a big county, very Democratic county, won, I think three to one to Biden.
But that prosecutor is effectively going to decide whether President Trump is indicted, runs for president as under indictment or otherwise. It’s crazy.
And it’s like Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, who’s basically a prosecutor in search of a crime because she’s already said in her campaigns as well as every day, she’s going to go after Trump. It’s a crazy world. It’s a crazy world.
It’s not a justice system. It’s not recognizable.
We’ll also talk with our friend Frank Pavone. Father Frank Pavone is the founder and executive director of Priests for Life. He’s got a great website that tells you how to understand the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs and a lot of other stuff. We’ll talk with him.
All right, but first, what do you need to know today? Well, let me tell you something.
What you’re seeing with the Tulsi Gabbard announcement is an indication of what I’ve told you before.
The question is simply this. It’s the election of ’94 again.
The only question is whether it’s 1994 or as I believe it is, is it 1894?
Because in 1994, that’s when Newt Gingrich swept to power, you may recall. And that was the first time, I think, in let’s see, they won 54 net change of 54 seats to the Republicans in theHouse. And it was the first time in decades and decades that they had had a Speaker of the House. And it was an incredible election plus 54 net number of seats.
Well, in 1894, the Republicans won a 110 seats and it was because the economy had tanked in 1893 and they just threw the bums out.
So is it 1994 or is it 1894?
And my argument is it’s 1894. And an indication of how big the red tsunami is, is Tulsi Gabbard’s a really good surfer and she has jumped in the water and she’s paddling hard. You don’t quit your party, the Democrat Party, and call them woke racists just five weeks before the election because it’s a bad time to do so. Can you imagine if she did this after Obama won? No. Can you imagine after she did this after Obama won a second term? No. She didn’t even consider doing it during the Trump times. They were just as bad.
It’s because the Democrats are a sinking ship.
Joe Biden’s presidency is a dismal failure for the American people. By the way, for Joe Biden and the progressives, the liberals that are in office with him. They’re happy as can be.
They’re radically changing America. They’re destroying lots of the economy, our energy economy. They’re still messing our kids up, but it’s a disaster for the country, and they’re about to be punished.
And Tulsi Gabbard is an indication of the size of the wave, as is the polling that is suddenly, as I predicted to you it would well, it’s closing up. The gap is closing in.
The gap is lessening, suddenly. And suddenly you’re seeing things like, well, you know, Fetterman’s not so strong. Oz is stronger. Yeah, of course. Of course that was coming.
And as I told you before, the two reasons the pollsters will do this is because they have to close it up.
They were doing their numbers to try to make it look like conservatives can’t win and trying to depress the vote. But they got to close it. They got to tighten it up because they want to be reelected again. Excuse me, that’s the wrong phrase. They want to be hired again in the future. So they can’t be that far off of what they know is coming.
And the other reality right now is a lot of voters. A lot of voters are not answering the pollsters honestly. Can you imagine being an African American man in Georgia? Would you answer any pollster? Who asked you about Herschel Walker? No. No. You mostly just aren’t picking up the phone, or if you do, you hang up.
But I can tell you what Tulsi Gabbert did was an indication. Is it’s a red tsunami.
It’s 1894.
It’s coming, and it’s getting worse and worse.
Gas prices are up again. Inflation is up again. There’s articles in the paper that the Fed can’t get control either of inflation, neither inflation nor keep us out of a recession. None of the levers are working. There’s articles saying that. There are people that are actually writing about what’s going on and they’re being somewhat honest. They are actually saying that there’s something wrong with the economy that we’re not going to fix. There’s a big piece in Business Insider on that front.
And so, oh, there’s polling, by the way, that shows that Hispanics, Hispanics are voting in much higher numbers for Republicans than ever before. And so it’s coming. It’s coming.
The only real question will be what will it be like when there’s Republicans in the House and Senate in charge? How will they govern creatively? What will they do that will be interesting, that will be helpful, that will give people a sense of what the policies could be.
And the second question you have to ask as the red tsunami crests, when does Donald Trump announce that he’s running for reelection and he should run.
He should run. In every aspect of what’s happening in this country, Donald Trump would be better than the guy in office, and there’s nobody in the country that can withstand what’s happening other than Trump. People will say, oh, but we’re tired of him. You could be tired of anybody. I don’t care. You could be tired of any topic. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter, because the reason you’re tired is because of what the media, big media and big tech are doing to you.
The reality is, there’s only one guy who can lead us and survive this gauntlet that’s in front of us. That’s the facts. You can wish that so and so was tougher.
I’ll never forget, I asked the late Phyllis Schlafly in 2015, who did she like, early in the year, before Trump got in the race? And she said, we should watch Scott Walker.
Scott Walker had been through three union contested, vicious elections. I think two regular elections and one recall, or maybe it was two recalls and one election. But the unions, the teachers unions, the trade unions, everybody pounded on him. Sorry. The teachers unions and the government unions. I don’t know if the trades were against him, but he went through absolute. They occupied the capital. They tried to riot. They did everything. And Scott Walker survived and did it well. He was really impressive, and he raised $120 or 30 million to run for president, and he didn’t last. He didn’t catch on. He wasn’t able to communicate at that level. He wasn’t able to withstand the intensity. He wasn’t able to get traction. It’s just the way it is.
Again, you can wish so and so would be good on the national stage. We’re dealing with this moment in history and these factors, and Tulsi Gabbard has signaled the tsunami, and Donald Trump is standing back and saying, I’ll be getting in the water. You can guarantee it. You can guarantee it.
All right, we got to take a break. When we come back we’ll talk with Father Frank Pavone and then John Schlafly. Be right back. It’s Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report.
We’ll be back in a moment.
