Gas Prices Decided This Election

Gas Prices Drive Voter Revolt

SPEAKER_00 0:10

The voters sent a message that gas and diesel matters in an election. And promises that Mr. Trump made about keeping things affordable unfortunately kind of got in the way. Message sent, message received, and now starting in January. Stuart.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

Go. All right, let's rock. Democrats sweep both chambers of Congress. Minters. President Trump stated he's willing to accept those results. Wow, pretty binary. Isn't that a response? I mean, I guess I accept those results. A president who accepts a landslide loss gratefully is a president who respects the process. Contrast that with four years of Democrats screaming threats to democracy every time a Republican so much as questioned a ballot drop box. But let's not pretend this was some grand ideological awakening by the American electorate. This was a kitchen table revolt over gas prices and media is about to spend the next 48 hours dressing up a pocketbook backlash as a referendum on democracy and decency because the narrative sells better than the truth.

Exit Polls Point To Iran

SPEAKER_01 1:49

So, and we don't have to guess why voters revolted. The Blaze has the exit polling, and it's not close. The Iran conflict was a critical factor in the Republican route. Exit polling showed 34% of voters said Iran conflict was crucial to their congressional vote. 40% called it a major factor, 19 called it a minor factor. Trump acknowledged part of the Iran was admitted the conflict, drove up gasoline prices that hurt Republicans at the polls. The projected costs of operation per Pentagon is roughly $47.1 billion, with support sitting at 35.9%, opposition at 56.5, according to silver bullet polling average.

Strike Right, Messaging Wrong

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Here's a part the mainstream media won't say, not even quietly. Trump was right on substance and got punished on messaging. Trump told the Wall Street Journal he did the right thing and would have done it again because the alternative was letting the world top state sponsor of terror finish a nuclear weapon. That's not a blunder, that's leadership, willing to eat the bad news cycle for a generational security win. That's real failure here, isn't the strike. It's that nobody in the administration went on television every single week connecting $4.50 to the fact that your kids aren't going to grow up under a nuclear umbrella. Even some conservative voices are furious. Matt Walsh called it the greatest political bunder in the last two decades, very least. Unforgivable betrayal of American first principles and frustration and fear on politics, dead wrong on policy. You don't and let Tehran go nuclear because the base wants to cheapen the gas by Labor Day. That is stupidity. But then again, so are those green-headed idiots that are on news these days. And if you need proof of this geopolitical gut punch, it's not a vindication of appeasement.

Tehran Sees A Green Light

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Listen to actually celebrating Trump losses on Capitol Hill. Iranian chief negotiator said Americans voted no on war. That was on the BBC. Today, early morning.

That Iran endorses this message, warning that if the U.S. government betrays their public will, it will learn no come without a nightmare. Meanwhile, the IRGC claimed four oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. And it shot down another U.S.

MQ-9 drone at a couple billion dollars. Though the BBC verify found no evidence of supporting the four tanker claim. This is the headlines Democrats should be forced to answer on every Sunday show. The Iranian regime is treating the Democratic-controlled Congress as a diplomatic victory and a green light for escalation.

He's threatening a nightmare if Washington doesn't fold. Days after Iranian forces were setting tankers ablaze, shooting down American drones. That's a regime that wants peace through dialogue. I think you're stupid.

As President Mozart Pazin claims, insisting on the government has been trying to resolve the crisis through dialogue. No one will benefit from this war if it resumes. That's a regime reading American election returns as weakness and testing it in real time with mines and drones and shooting things. He told CBS News the conflict would end when I say it would.

It's exactly a dishonest leap. The Western press and those wonderful people now in the state of Michigan have a member of the Brotherhood Muslim brigade as their congressional leader. The talking points are simple. Iran didn't win the debate last night.

It won a vibe shift. That vibe shift didn't stop center feud. 74% of voters called Iran's crucial major factor in their vote. This election was about gas prices, not wearing nuclear masks and nuclear fallout shelters and having food to last 25 years.

Washington controlled ballots. The IRGC was mining tankers and shooting down drones and attacking Americans abroad. Tehran's actual response to the midterms is let's blow some more shit up. Let's kill some more Americans.

Let's be the terror for 47 years, and it's always been. Every family is paying more at the pump. Iran's Supreme Leader's office says nothing's going to change. Hostility will end.

The Democrats are being handed a win, and they're handing that win to Iran, China, and all of America's enemies. Republicans didn't lose the argument over around. They lost the explanation. The strike was right, the nuclear threat is real, and 47 billion is a rounding error next to a nuclear armed state in Europe.

I think the United States, Western Europe, its neighbors, not but including Tel Aviv, United Arab Arabics, Dubai, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and the Strait of Vermouth. But when gaz hits five bucks, nobody in the administration is out there week making moral cases. Voters fill the blanks themselves. Tehran is more than happy to fill them in with a victory lap on Twitter.

Iran didn't want peace Tuesday night. Iran wanted Democrats in power, got them. Immediately started testing the waters by mining and droning. Remember that the next time you tell them the midterm was about democracy, it was about how much money Iran pumped into the U.S.

election and supported candidates of the DSA around this country. It is mind-boggling, ladies and gentlemen. Mind-boggling.

The DSA Breaks Through

SPEAKER_01 10:03

Ready to build or ready to destroy. David, sorry for taking this whole rant.

SPEAKER_00 10:09

No, no, actually, it was pretty good. And I gotta tell you something though. You focused on Iran. I'm gonna give you a different focus on this one, folks.

Because what happened last night was the DSA really cracked the nut. They got through, Stuart. They got through. They got through something that unfortunately the you know the Republicans couldn't stop.

It's not just Abdul El-Said, it's Daria Lisa Avila Chevalier in New York. It's Claire Valdez from New York, it's Donovan McKinney in Michigan, it's Melat Kiros in Colorado, Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, and Brad Lander in New York. You know why I brought up these names, Stuart, with Abdullah Saeed? Is this the new face of the Democrats?

You voted them in. You chose, despite all the warnings, to send a message to Mr. Trump that you're not happy, and as a result, we're gonna throw out guys in Texas, people in the Carolinas, we're gonna send them all over the place. We're gonna throw them out on their ass, Stuart.

You know why? Because we're mad. And you brought it up diesel, gas, all that. The Iran, what the impact of the Iran War did on the US, excuse me, that is what Americans are pissed off about.

But what you brought in instead was whom? Listen to what they're talking about. Great talking point, Stuart. Right?

Medicare for all, education for all, all kinds of socialist programs and campaigns, that they're gonna force Akeem Jeffries' hand starting in January of 2027. For two years, they're gonna force the Democratic Party to shift not only more left, but to bring in programs and ideas that make no bloody sense. Sounds good on paper, but has been proven to be unreal. Mamdani is proven it.

He can't get his grocery stores off the ground to work properly. Nobody wants to talk about that. You have all these kinds of things. But here's the kicker store.

Here is the kicker.

Cutting Israel Funding Fallout

SPEAKER_00 12:35

You know what all of these people voted campaigned on? You gotta cut off the head of the snake. You gotta stop funding Israel because Israel funding Israel is the reason why our country is suffering, why the US is struggling. I ranted about this while you're away on Monday, that the message was very clear that if we could, if we didn't fund Israel, we could buy eggs and bananas. Well, guess what happened yesterday, Stuart? Mr. Trump announced along with B.B. Netanyahu that the US will no longer fund Israel. So now who are you going to blame, socialists, for your problems? Because you're gonna bury the United States in even greater debt, because that's what you voted in, people. Your anger towards Mr. Trump about diesel and gas prices is gonna lead you to a higher cost of living because this Congress is gonna put in programs and you're gonna go, wow, amazing. How are we gonna fund it? Oh, we're just gonna tax more the billionaires.

Data Centers, Taxes, And Control

SPEAKER_00 13:38

Well, what do you think Elon Musk is doing today? You know those data centers that was gonna create jobs in your state, opportunity, financial benefits that you guys were freaking out over because the Democrats tried to convince you that this was a bad idea, that the Democrats should control the AI. I mean, I love it. All the Democrats want to do is control your lives, everything in your lives. That's all they keep talking about is leave it to us because we know better than you how to run your life. Where do you think Elon Musk now wants to put his data center, Stuart? In outer space. So all those cities and states that were were gonna look at all this financial benefits, he's saying, okay, no, I guess not. Bravo, Democrats, you did it. You did exactly what we've been warning you about, and you haven't even gotten into office yet. But the shoe has fallen, the net effect of what you're doing has already started. You think you've changed for the better. You've actually not.

Hearings, Courts, And Power Fears

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Oh, so that's where our tax money is gonna go, too, Stuart. More hearings, more attacks on Trump, more lawsuits, because that's exactly what's gonna lower gas prices. That's exactly what's gonna help us with housing. That's exactly what's gonna create a better economy. More hearings. Because that is what the Democrats are all about. Get rid of your opponent so that you can control and seize power. Watch how they're gonna push to try to expand the judicial to the Supreme Court to 11 so that they can have more Democrat candidates on there. Watch what they do, guys, over the next two years.

2028 Warnings And Closing

SPEAKER_00 15:38

But here's the best news, Stuart. You only have two years. Because in 2028, you know, the Democrats think that they won. No, Trump lost people. The Democrats didn't win. Trump lost. And if you think that the message was we love your brand, you got it wrong. We didn't love your brand. People didn't vote for your brand. They voted to send the message to Trump that we don't like what you're doing. You need to lower gas and diesel prices because we can no longer afford this kind of living. That was the message that was sent. And if you think that you want to continue with this socialist nonsense, I can't wait for you to nominate AOC over Ram Emanuel as your candidate for president in 2028. I can't wait. Because whether it's Marco Rubio or JD Vance or somebody else in the Republican Party, you're gonna get slaughtered. So please, Democrats, continue your stupidity, continue to push this socialist agenda because in two years from now, the message will be sent your way.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

All right, we're out of here. That's it, David.
