00:00:00–00:01:08

WAKE UP GODDAMNIT! Alright gang. Whether the political stunt that blew up in Hayley Stevens' face, Mike Rogers' face, to the maintained and continued positive campaign down in the south by James Talarico, the determination of Abdul El-Sayed, the blind view on sexuality in New Hampshire in favor of Chris Pappas. Today's episode of the Mastiff.Media Morning Show is probably giving you the most news we've ever given. And while this is usually an apolitical show, sometimes the news just isn't that way. And so today's episode is not just about the past of last night, but it's about the future of this country.

00:01:08–00:02:11

And if we are going to be, or already, a great nation, then it's about the future of democracy as a whole. Brazil just did it by keeping out a far-right extremist in Bolsonaro, now is vacationing here in Miami. Go figure. I guess that's the one immigrant this administration does want to let in. Those that agree with him. But Brazil did it. Europe has done it and is going to go back to doing it. See what happens in Israel. Clearly there was a message given to Yahoo as well. If Trump can just, you know, slur people's names, and I can too. The guy in Israel is a yahoo, and that's not complimentary.

00:02:11–00:03:21

This has been MAGA People Are You Listening? Last night and the results still coming in today. This has been a mandate. This is what a wave looks like. Not your little pink splash from two years ago. This is the Mastiff.Media Morning Show meets up the middle. Thanks for joining. Thanks for getting off the porch and running with the big dogs. Let's do this. Live from Antifa headquarters, Tallahassee, Florida. This is the Mastiff.Media Morning Show. Yes, we're back. I'm awake. A little late, I'll admit. I actually didn't stop hitting the snooze button until a couple minutes after six. That was an accident not planned on. But overnight, a sweep. Those three remaining likely Democrat Senate victories came through.

00:03:21–00:04:22

Maine ousted longtime Senator Susan Collins. Michigan brought in Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. And Minnesota got a win with, I don't know her first name, but Flanagan. That was going back and forth, but that turned out to be a Democratic hold in Minnesota. On top of that, Mary Peltola in Alaska has an 87% chance of pulling out a victory over incumbent Dan Sullivan, in addition to the other Dan Sullivan. And in Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi.

00:04:22–00:05:54

Look at that. Who would have thought Mississippi would have joined Georgia, Texas, North and South Carolina in a blue south? Those of you listening via the Mastiff Media Radio Network, I'm showing the map from our newest sponsor, Polymarket, with the results from last night. Mississippi still not finished. I'll look into that to find out why. But about to, as far as a percentage, they've got a 75% chance of joining Reverend-to-be James Talarico, Lujan in New Mexico, John Ossoff in Georgia, Andrews over Lindsey Graham's sister in South Carolina, and Cooper in North Carolina, who had a rather decisive win by over 800,000 votes.

00:05:54–00:06:55

As a Democratic, South Virginia was actually called, Warner, a Democrat, won re-election easily in Virginia, which is, I guess, technically part of the South, if we're still fighting the Civil War. And I'm going to keep harping on this, because I know it's going to piss off a lot of my neighbors. Ashley Moody won re-election for the Senate in Florida by only a little over a quarter of a million votes. In a state with almost 9 million votes counted, that's not a lot. That was not a lot.

00:06:55–00:08:38

She received 4.2 million. Unfortunately this doesn't show, well I guess if I did a little bit of math, this doesn't show what Angie Nixon, because there's other parties, so I know they just subtract 4.2 million from 8.27 million, but actually no other parts, so she would have been a little less than, or right around 4 million. Yeah actually, at 238,963 over, subtract that from 4.207,774, see what Angie Nixon got, but long story short, it wasn't a lot, and in 2028, if Angie Nixon stays active throughout the state of Florida, which I see no reason why she wouldn't, she pulls a Donald Trump who got ousted in 2020, he spent the next four years campaigning, there's no reason why she can't go after, I'm brain farting on who it is, the guy that looks like Voldemort in 2028, when his seat becomes available, and he needs to run for re-election.

00:08:38–00:10:09

Hopefully in the governor, remember our Antifa headquarters, this was even closer, a lot closer, 4.1 million votes, yeah he didn't even get as many as actually Moody did, Byron Donalds won the governors mansion by only 100,000 votes, that is not a lot, so hopefully David Jolly or some other viable candidate stays off or gets off their ass over the next four years, see what happens there. So yeah, if you are an independent radio station that might be listening today to see what the Mastiff.Media Morning Show is all about, don't, because I doubt that we're going to stay on what's called, I mean you know what it's called, but for other listeners, what's called a clock wheel, it's the schedule that a radio show follows, down to the second, because listeners like you expect to hear traffic, weather, things like that, that we will get to, but obviously a big day for democracy.

00:10:09–00:11:50

I keep saying us and I always reaffirm that us is not the democratic party, we are anti-Trumpers and that's not an unpatriotic thing to say, Trump made his bed, Donald Trump is not about democracy, I don't even refer to him as a president, he's not, if what Elon Musk's ex-wife says is true, then he is at best an illegitimate president, my challenge to the democratic party is not only to impeach him, try him and remove him for what we know has been done, but do so after you've taken significant steps to improve the economy, bring down the price of gas so my brother and nephew can more easily afford diesel fuel for their construction vehicles, bring down the price of food so I can fill my refrigerator, bring down the

00:11:50–00:13:26

price of everything so people don't have to make the decision what bills they're going to pay this month and what bills they're going to hold over until next month, risk losing their homes, some people, again, not because of irresponsibility, but because of irresponsibility and if Byron Don, I'm going to do the same thing that I did in 2020, I got to do some math here, give me a second, I'm going to do the same thing that I did back in 2017, 2016, 2017, when the Russians helped Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, I'm going to get behind Byron Donald's and I'm going to wish the best for him and his administration because that's what's going to be the best for Florida and I'm going to stop calling him Uncle Byron, which is, yes, I will admit, a politically racist slur, intentionally, I know what I said, that wasn't a slip, that wasn't a youthful indiscretion at 55 years

00:13:26–00:15:08

of age, 54 for most of the time, that was a political statement, a targeted and intended political statement, I'm going to practice what I preach and do my best to bring both sides of the political spectrum together because apparently I did also get one big win in the state of Florida as I was trying to fall asleep last night without medical assistance for fear of oversleeping beyond what I overslept today, I'm doomsday scrolling through Facebook and a resident of Gulfport, Florida, which is right aside of St. Petersburg, Florida, commented on the fact that Byron Donald's won, Ashley Moody won, and for St. Petersburg Charlie Crist won, a Republican who has made no mystery of the fact that he is so and that

00:15:08–00:16:52

they were essentially scared for the state of Florida and the fact that amendment three had apparently also passed. 60% of Floridians are for reducing property insurance over the next three years. Ron DeSantis stood in my driveway alongside of me days after Hurricane Helene leveled the inside of my house, totaled it, and said help was on the way. Finally, with amendment three, I'm about to get that help more than two years later. Any other progress, what little there's been, I did on my own with no help of three denials by FEMA, no help by the state of Florida, and very little help from neighbors who understandably

00:16:55–00:18:03

had their own construction projects to do. For five years I've watched my mortgage go up because of rising taxes and rising homeowners insurance. Finally, at least one of them is going to be stopped. A challenge to Pasco County commissioners, admit that the propaganda against amendment three, that emergency services would also be cut, was a lie. There is verbiage in that amendment prohibiting local governments removing funds from emergency services elsewhere.

00:18:12–00:19:44

The tax revenue that they still get covers emergency services 100% and people like Sheriff Grady Judd and Chris Nocco know it. They lied to you when they said that would happen. They misled you when they did not endorse that amendment. They forgot to tell you that if amendment three doesn't work, we can change it again. If it's that bad, I'm sure 60% of the loudmouths in this state will rise up and say it needs to go, myself included. This is once again going to be why people were coming to Florida. Because once again, regardless of the politics, whether you are or are not a drag queen, Florida is once again about to become affordable. And that was a pledge made to us by Byron Donalds, whether you voted

00:19:44–00:21:20

for him or not. My pledge is to support him, keep his feet to the fire where they should never leave, but let him do his job because we'll be watching. Oh, okay. Well, I think now I'm awake. 701 right now. Like I said, don't expect to follow a clock wheel. I want to hear from this guy. That was yesterday's. The LA Crypto News host, Matt Diemer. Let me show you this. God. I just wish he would have won again. That's 270 wins. Hold on a second. Here. This is his district right here for those of you with video. This is his district right here. If you remember, Matt Diemer twice. Last night not being one of them. Previous to congressional elections, 2024 and 2022, Matt ran in the spot now held by Poindexter

00:21:24–00:22:59

in the 7th district of Ohio against Max Miller, the guy who was accused of beating his now ex-wife, the former son-in-law of a senator who I think also lost it. Who stood? No. There's [Unclear speech.] No. There's... Bernie Moreno, lawyers for embattled Republican Max Miller. Sorry. Have subpoenaed his former father-in-law, Senator Bernie Moreno. I mean, if two guys look gay, it's Bernie Moreno and Max Miller. It's John Husted that got ousted. Mary Peltola, Alaska. Herrick, I didn't call this one either. God love him. Meet Ashley Henson in Iowa. I'm less surprised about Adam Hamilton, Kansas, who won with 49% of the vote over Roger Marshall. He has a minister

00:23:01–00:24:32

in Kansas. Kansas is a very faith-based state. Y'all know that. But he's also been in touch with the people who have been hurting in Kansas, like farmers, other people in various labor-oriented industries. So, yeah. Put on him. Need to do another shout-out. Last night before coming on the air, got to call my baby brother. I talked with my kid brother for over an hour for the first time in, I think, 10 years. My baby brother turned 46 last night. I had almost 200 people wish me a happy birthday. It was about 150, 200 people wished me a happy birthday. But Christy Lafferty says that I should have voted no to all amendments. I'll see. Okay. Okay, fine. I'll see. We'll see. Yes. But until then, I voted yes because I need relief here from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, in St. Petersburg. Well, apparently, you didn't lose everything in two hurricanes within a week from each other. So apparently, you didn't lose everything twice in two hurricanes within a week of each other, only to have Ron DeSantis

00:24:32–00:26:07

stand in your driveway and tell you, help is on the way, to be screwed out of coverage by your homeowners insurance, and to see no help from DeSantis and Florida. Like I said above, if Amendment 3 is so bad, I'll advise the 30 plus thousand listeners of my radio shows, of my two radio shows, to help get it changed. Michael Sharp tagging everyone in the power of the LGBTQ vote. Yeah. Well, you know, yeah, keep voting blue for now. I say, as an independent, I say, keep voting candidate by candidate. Continue to not vote strictly down party lines. That's pretty much what I did yesterday, with the exception of school board. It is what I did yesterday, with the exception of school board and judges for the five judges positions, judicial positions within Florida. The very first guy was a DeSantis appointee. I said, he's got to go. And then I actually looked into what he's done as judge and said, oh my God, he's got to go. Apparently, all three amendments passed. One was a surplus spending habit that the legislature actually has to maintain more funds than the other

00:26:10–00:27:42

and what they've got now, meaning that they've hit their goal. Good on them, they didn't waste money that they're not supposed to waste. But additionally, they now have to save more. Nobody wanted that. Maybe this is the help Ron DeSantis was finally talking about because he was behind amendments one, two and three. Everybody laughed at him with one. Now that's passed as well. Amendment two, I'm going to paraphrase this. If I was going to be for one and three, I was going to be for amendment two. This is private property, not real property, not real estate, but like trucks and such that is stored and kept on agricultural land where you're being a farmer of any type. Cattle, growth, a plant farming of whatever type. We're big with oranges and strawberries down here among other things. And if you have something that might not necessarily be directly used for farming, but it's yours, you now

00:27:42–00:29:16

get a tax exemption on that as well. Starting in 2027, her amendment to tax exemption was amendment two. That has nothing to do with me, but like, what's her name here? Christy Lafferty Ray, who apparently did not lose everything in St. Petersburg, but doesn't want to help those of us who did. Not costing her anything to have what Republicans call common sense. Very easy for her to say, hey, yeah, let's try this. But no, this dumb bitch doesn't think she knows everything. Which doesn't make any sense to this because did she like my comment? Oh, well, she liked the comment where I said that, I said, you people forget Uncle Byron used to be a Democrat when they were critiquing, or critiquing, or critiquing or when Chris Hatcher and Paul Valenti said rednecks elected a black guy. That's a new one. So she says, yeah, I'm showing this. So she says, here's my take. Jolly was originally a Republican and flipped and ran as a Democrat. So now the first black governor of Florida

00:29:16–00:30:51

has been elected because he ran as a Republican. What if this has been chess moves? Oh, no, no. He is, Byron Donalds is nothing more than Trump's bitch. And this is a huge opportunity because he can't prove me wrong because I'm telling you on what he's done, what he's done since he's been in Congress and since Trump's been in office, he has been nothing but with President Trump and Mr. Trump and whatever until, what was it, two weeks ago when he finally took Donald Trump off his governor website, campaign website. Didn't think anybody noticed he was gone or wasn't there, thought maybe he was never there in the first place. Really, Uncle Byron? One more time. Now I'll stop. Apparently, so Byron Donalds is in a mixed race relationship. I don't care if you are in a loving relationship and she is in it willing with you and vice versa. Good on you. And apparently their son, who was obviously supporting him, maybe not obviously, but who was supporting him. Did you see his son with the blonde dyed hair behind him when he was giving a speech about winning and trying

00:30:51–00:32:27

to be respectful to jolly? Come on, he's definitely liberal. Jennifer Parker says you need mental help and it shows. Colleen Grover says, well, it's a fantastical story. Well, no, actually it's not. People forget that Byron Donalds used to be a Democrat. Everybody was giving David Jolly a hard time for being a former Republican. Democrats were skeptical about supporting him because of that. I guess they weren't too skeptical about supporting a former Democrat because that's who won. I do got to get to some actual news besides my ramblings. If you live under a rock, not in a rock, but under one, this, ladies and gentlemen, I read Republican neighbors in Florida, results of Senate races last night, the results of the governor's races last night. For those not tracking, that is a mandate. Those of you who thought that the slimmer margin by which Donald Trump won and Republicans won 2024, and I say slimmer because it wasn't this big. You know yourself, the Republicans

00:32:27–00:34:02

did not hold 56 out of 100 seats in the Senate and they sure as hell did not hold 261 seats out of 435 in the House. Nor did they have 28 out of 50 governors, which I didn't think about, but is actually also going to be a big deal because when it comes to running things like, and here's another one, Texas has a Democratic governor. Georgia now has a Democratic governor, or will. Kansas, again, culture, still at whatever level of counting they're at, but there's only something like 5,000 votes left to go. 5,432 votes left to count, if they're just over a million, roughly almost 2 million, 546 in change to 541 in change. No, he is ahead by 5,500 votes and there's 5,400 left to count. It's over. We

00:34:02–00:35:39

can call that one. It's a governor's race in Kansas. Mathematically, that's impossible. Yeah, there's another governor's race. 28 to 50, I don't know where the other two are. It says 28 to 20 in governors, that's 48. I don't know if they're counting the non-party affiliate. I mean, that's probably one non-party affiliate that won last night in Alaska, Christ Tompkins. Isn't that crazy? Neither candidate for governor in Alaska was a member of a political party. What has happened to the state of Sarah Palin? Christ Tompkins, with a 99% chance of winning, with the ballots that still need to be counted for governor of Alaska. That according to PolyMarket. Go to polymarket.us if you can. Of course, I would ask that you hold off and wait for the promotion code that we're about to get, I hope. Friend of mine from my childhood and hometown, Laurie Saylor, is how I knew her.

00:35:39–00:36:50

Married, named Laurie Hunchar, shared a post, Pete Hegseth have wanted people to watch a public execution. Well, they're seeing it tonight. That's good. Here's Hilded from her high school teacher, Bob Fleck, checking in saying, hey, yeah, see Louisiana. I want to see how Mike Johnson did. I'm guessing he's going to win or has won. Well, that is a weird shape. Look at this. That highlighted red area with the white surrounding. That is Mike Johnson's district. Look at that area in between. That's a tie right now. I mean, that is a dead heat if there ever was one. 50,800, 50,200, 49,200. That is a dead heat if there ever was one. But look at the shapes of those. Why is it like that? There's only one reason. Fraud.

00:36:50–00:38:10

Election interference. Donald, if you want to fix elections, get rid of gerrymandering. Create a formula that says you can't go further east-west without equally going north-south when you create the shapes of these federal districts. I get that it's by population and you can't control where the population is, but there is no reason for these goofy-ass looking districts like this, especially if it would be done by an independent committee that has some sort of oversight with a specific algorithm that cannot be changed. Oh, wow. Seriously though, what a night. What a night day. What a week. Take a break. When we come back, I'll get to something else from whatever other news we've got. Let me take a break.

00:38:10–00:39:18

When we come back. Weather, traffic, tide schedules. I've noticed, even though it's 730 and it's been up by now, an hour ago we were already getting light. Daylight savings is over and it's getting lighter earlier. Well, it's actually getting darker later or something. Darker earlier. Whatever.

But a leaked grand jury report found taxpayer money was quietly moved into a dark money political committee that James Uthmaier controlled, not to Florida families. They found $10 million was misappropriated.

00:41:49–00:42:49

One Republican lawmaker called Uthmaier's scheme a conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. James Uthmaier, conspiracy concealment, corruption. What are you doing later?

00:42:50–00:44:02

We're back. What a great night for democracy and Democrats. I really wish Mitch McConnell were alive to see this. Oh well, the US can breathe a second. Breathe for a second. If we're not done, in two years we need to flip the presidency to restore decency. Yeah, yeah. Tampa Republican Club. Just because some of us think the GOP leadership are full of backstabbing, limp-wristed, ball-less cucks, doesn't mean we are commie pinko scumbag libtards. Should I use too many adjectives? I'm a conservative. The GOP has betrayed us at every turn. Why should I pledge loyalty to a bunch of lily-livered pansies who secretly conspire to screw the very people they reportedly represent? Call in the name of self-enrichment. F the GOP. Yeah. In your Democratic friends in Illinois battle with their two brain cells for third place trying to convince you that JB Pritzker deserves a third term, he generally cares to remind them here's the most complete list of 63 taxes and fees JB Pritzker and Illinois Democrats hiked in 2019 to 2026.

00:44:02–00:45:03

Gambling taxes? I'm okay with that. Title fees for mobile homes or ATVs and salvages? I'm okay with that. Tax amnesty program? Yeah, I'm okay with that. Foreign derived income tax? Yeah. You want to take your money out of the country? I'm okay with them taxing it. Video game tax? Yeah, I'm okay with that too. Don't care. If that stupid bitch down in St. Pete doesn't care about the fact that I lost my home, I don't care that her kid has to pay higher taxes for video games. Cigarette tax? Cigarette tax? Yeah, don't care. Don't care. There you go, Lynn Secor. I'm no supporter of Donald Trump, but I'll give him this. He set up a mirror to society and shown us exactly who among us harbors hatred, bigotry, and self-interest. Above all else, I never knew there were so many evil people living among us. Grandparents against MAGA fascists? We are Grand Tifa.

00:45:08–00:46:11

That's good. I should use that. Now they can't come and arrest me. Where was, though, I didn't know about the openly gay… I didn't even know that. You think I'd know that one? I had no idea. First openly gay U.S. senator in this cycle. As we all know, rest in peace, he's not the first gay senator. He's just the first openly gay senator. Right, Lindsey? Pappas, in New Hampshire. First openly gay male senator. He won his election November 3rd, defeating Republican Senator John Sununu to take the seat of retiring Senator Jeanne Shaheen. What does that feel like? To have been somebody that got voted out like John Sununu, and now you didn't get voted back in later on. Yeah, I mean, he looks pretty much like every other senator, especially Republicans. You know what else I'm seeing more? I've been doing it recently. Not because I'm gay or straight or whatever.

00:46:11–00:47:18

After I wash it, that's where it falls. There's more guys parting their hair on the right. Ironically enough, they're progressives. You think I'm crazy? Look at this. James Talarico? Who else did I see? Was it the guy in Kansas? Hamilton? Not the Broadway play, the new Kansas Senator. Can't really tell there. Kind of sort of Elsa Ed. Is that like it? Because I am all about doing things in my life. Like, look at all the logos that I've created. Thumbnails and album covers and all the branding that I've done. There's all Illuminati secret stuff hidden within each one. And if you interpret it properly, you'll find it. But I wonder if that's a thing. If like progressives are parting their hair on the right, they put that part down the right side of their head, exposing their scalp, exposing the right.

00:47:18–00:48:18

What do you think? I mean, that sounds good. I like it. I'm going to start spreading it. Of course, I'm going to take credit for it in the process. Look at Brian Tyler Cohen. That's pretty much a push from the left. Although he's got this long hair now and he holds it back with a hair comb. I mean, if there was any straight boy that was ever gay, it's Brian Tyler Cohen. And I'm not complaining. I do him. Right little wrestler body. I got to reach out to Matt too. Matt Diemer, the host of Daily Crypto News. Crazy stuff, man. Good crazy. And here is the thing that I also have to say. Maybe, I don't know, I've been rambling for almost two hours now.

00:48:18–00:49:22

Yeah, it has been. Well, no, I haven't even been up for two hours actually, but you get the point. For those who feel down by the results that came in last night and today, don't. Because if there's one thing that I believe, and I don't often name parties. Because there's people like Bernie Sanders and Angie Nixon, wherever you want to put them. Abdul El-Sayed, who really are, wherever they might be, on the left. They are really for everyone. And I know if they put progressive things in place, you feel it's a slight.

00:49:22–00:50:23

Mostly because when you've put conservative things in place, it was a slight. This is the balance that I'm talking about. I don't see this large gap staying after 2028. I think if they hold both houses of Congress, they're not going to have the strong, I just don't see them maintaining the strong presence that they're going to have for the next two years. It's just, it's the cycle. It is what it is. However, like David Minnet said, now it's time for the White House. Wouldn't that be ironic? Do you know what happens when a president is impeached and is found guilty of treason? The vice president does not become president. Because technically the vice president is part of the president's cabinet.

00:50:23–00:51:24

The vice president and the cabinet go with him. How crazy would that be? For presumably Hakeem Jeffries to be the second African American president. The first one appointed to the position. That's pretty crazy. And it's possible. I think, and Jon Ossoff mentioned it last night in his victory speech. I forget what his actual wording was, but it's time for the shrouds and the cover-ups and the redacting, at least in part, to stop. I mean, one of the guys last night said that we need to release the Epstein files fully unredacted. I do not agree with that. Simply because fully unredacted would mean releasing names of the victims.

00:51:24–00:52:27

Not only is that inappropriate, in some of the states it's actually illegal. Florida being one of them. I think it's Marcy's Law here in Florida that prohibits the release of names and identifiers of sex crime victims. Which is, I mean, if Republicans want to talk about common sense, that should be one of them. But to use the phrase that the kids are using in politics today, let's be clear, Donald Trump is not one of those victims. But I say again, welcoming everyone to the same table does, I'm afraid, have to be done with just a little bit of pain being administered. So I will say this to the Republicans of the world.

00:52:27–00:53:31

This is what a mandate looks like. Yeah, this is interesting. I don't know if you see it. Yeah, you are. Cauchy is reporting that ex-FBI Deputy Director, that's Dan Bongino, urges Americans to stockpile supplies. Why? If you're going to use this good old fashioned Republican scare tactic, tell us why. What's going to happen? Make yourself useful, literally. Make yourself useful. Don't just, you know, put this out there. And maybe the article goes into that. I would hope so. That the red wave that came about two years ago was nothing more than a pink splash.

00:53:31–00:54:35

Like I said, this, this is a mandate. I just heard back from Matthew Diemer from Daily Crypto News. I asked him, I said, do you wish you ran again? He said, it's interesting. Shocked by the massive swing. Wasn't my race. Brian was the right guy for the moment. I mean, that's a classy thing to say, talking about Brian Poindexter in the 7th District. I mean, Matt would have been, I mean, not that this Poindexter isn't, but he came so close to defeating Miller two years ago. And this, by the way, we talked about gerrymandering earlier in the show today. Look at the shape of, and we talked about this last night, actually. Look at the shape of District 7 in Ohio. And the fact that District 8 and 9 are clear on the other side of the state.

00:54:35–00:55:41

9's up here in the corner, and 8's down here in the corner. Nowhere near the districts that follow it. Right-of-side is 6, but how is District 7 between 5 and 6? All that's telling you is, there's shenanigans going on. 12 is here, 11's up here, 13's up here. This is, without question, something that's got to be addressed in addition to the campaign finance. But I mean, you look at that at Ohio, as an example I'm looking at now for the House. Landmass, it's a red state. With these splashes of blue, the Southwest, the Northeast, and the Northwest.

00:55:41–00:56:48

But remember, the House and federal districts are created not just by special interest in gerrymandering, but ultimately by population. So those blue areas are higher concentrations. I mean, look at the size of District 3. It's a fifth of the size of District 7 in landmass. But my point being, look down here at the bottom. 8 congressional seats to the Republican 7. Now with Amy Acton whipping what's-his-nuts, Vivek Ramaswamy, blue governor.

00:56:48–00:57:53

And now with Sherrod Brown getting his seat back, Senate for Ohio is back to 50-50. We'll call that purple. That is purple when it's a mix. And ultimately, yeah, I'm still going to say that the House is a mix. It's purple. This is the thing that I caution either party. I think it's one of the things that bit Republicans in the ass. They had a slight majority this way or that way or whatever direction. Byron Donald's down here in Florida did not win the governor's mansion by a lot. Ashley Moody did not win that Senate seat by a lot. Ohio and Florida are purple states.

00:57:53–00:58:54

And I would say the same thing in Texas. Yeah, there is a dominant number of House seats of the 38. 24 go to the Republicans. But look at what just happened in the governor's mansion. Greg Abbott was denied not a third, a fourth term. That needs to be put into the Texas Constitution. He apparently swindled his friends in the Texas legislature to allow him for a third and fourth term. Why? For what? Because you couldn't get anything done in the first two? Get out. We talked about that last night too. Thomas Jefferson said that when politics becomes a career, corruption gets added to it. And I'm paraphrasing.

00:58:54–00:59:57

And that's exactly what's happened. Especially in Texas. Donald Trump had to go there three times literally begging people to vote for Ken Paxton. How'd that work out for you dipshit Donald? I'm floored that out of almost 10 million votes, the Talafricos only won by almost 1.2 million. How was that not a bigger margin? Again, I ask, what is the appeal? What do you see in the corruption and the inaction of Ken Paxton?

00:59:57–01:01:01

Fox News said it. Jesse Waters of Fox News famously told Ken Paxton to get off his ass and start campaigning. One of at least two Senate candidates. Well three. All three of whom were defeated. Darlene Graham in South Carolina. Ken Paxton in Texas. And El-Sayed's opponent, I forget what his name is, but that racist dickhead in Michigan. I'm going to try to bring everybody to the same table, but I'm not going to lie. One of the other sites that I pulled up late last night, later on in the show, gave an overwhelming majority of white men. Was it Collins? Or was Collins the guy in Georgia? I don't know. Whatever.

01:01:01–01:02:02

Michigan, the guy in Michigan was the other guy that was asked specifically by Donald Trump to run for Senate. Because Trump knew the person would be a yes man or woman. To him. I mean, my kid brothers and my nephew just got back Sunday evening from New York, duck hunting. Ironically enough, three Republican Trump supporters were duck hunting the weekend before lame duck season came into season. I mean, I'm going to let it go, but if the topic comes up when I'm home for Christmas, I'm not going to hold back. And I'm going to ask if they were lame duck hunting when they went to New York before election day.

01:02:02–01:03:07

Because that's what they brought home. I've got to have my moment. It's been ten years, people, that I told you. Well, not all ten years, because some of it I was still in the Secret Service, but ten years I pulled for people like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and even Kamala Harris. I was not a fan of Kamala Harris in 2024, but I'll tell you what I was a fan of. Being to vote for someone else in 2028. It was not Donald Trump that will bring us that opportunity. It was 2026 that is bringing us that opportunity. And I guess you could say it is Donald Trump who is guaranteeing that for 2028 because of his actions leading up to that. Shooting off his mouth by saying, pretend that I'm on the ballot. Well, we did.

01:03:07–01:04:12

We didn't really have to pretend too hard either. Because like I said earlier, and like you can see on my Facebook profile now, this is what a mandate is. This is a wave, regardless of the color. This is a blue wave, not a pink splash. This, I hope, is not just about change, but about actual force correction. About opportunity for all of these people. Native Americans, Hispanics, blacks, Muslims, gays. This is your moment. This is all of our moment.

01:04:12–01:05:18

Me being one of the gays, I don't think of any of the other minorities. I guess I would be a minority being a white male that would have supported Elsa Head. I'd be a minority there, when it comes to other white males at least. I'm a minority in Florida. Especially in Pasco County. Last night's show that we did in conjunction with our friends at the point with Travis Evans and company. Scotty, James, there's one more and I'm brain farting. Robert, and of course Travis Evans. Sponsored by Polymarket, that's the map that we've been using to track results.

01:05:18–01:06:19

Now my map from 270 to Wynn, I did not call some of those. I did not call Kansas or Iowa. Definitely did not call Mississippi. Good lord. Of the 35, I got 5 wrong. That was a scholastic test. At 30 right out of 35, the Senate, that would be in, that's an 85, that's an 86, that's a B. That's not bad, but I mean to do well in podcasting and political analysis, but I don't think anybody. Mississippi? Come on, who had Mississippi right? Really? Mississippi? If you actually had Mississippi right in last night's Senate race, wow. We're not worthy. We're not worthy.

01:06:19–01:07:19

Because that would be a call from hell. Well done, you. Well done. If you called Mississippi, Jesus. Talk about some insider trading. That's, wow. I can't even touch that. That's impressive that there's no other. I got to take a break. When we come back, we're going to get back to Associated Press, NPR.

Hope, Florida, an idea built on a promise to help Floridians in need, but a leaked grand jury report found taxpayer money was quietly moved into a dark money political committee that James Uthmaier controlled, not to Florida families. They found $10 million was misappropriated. One Republican lawmaker called Uthmaier's scheme a conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.

01:10:26–01:11:29

James Uthmaier, conspiracy, concealment, corruption. What are you doing later? I'll tell you what I'm doing. I'm going to the gym, but not just any gym. Momentum, fitness and wellness. Walk right up to the door. There's a QR code on the door. You can sign up right there. You've got no excuse. But not only that, their equipment is amazing. It's kept up well. It's expanded.

Everything you need to get that Hernando beach body or keep your Clearwater beach body. You can train with your shirt off. You can scream. You can yell. And you won't be intimidated either. Go to Momentum, Fitness and Wellness on US 19 in Bayonet Point, Jasmine Estates. Build the momentum at Momentum, Fitness and Wellness. Alright. 56 to 44 is what the Senate's looking at in January.

01:11:29–01:12:35

Again, in the event that you live under a rock. 56 to 44 for the Senate. 261. Only like 18 positions away for a veto in the House. And there are 10 away in the Senate. That's possible people. If there is enough intelligent legislation that gets put through that the Mango Mussolini vetoes. We, and now I'm saying all of us. We can do this. My additional challenge to the Republicans out there. Pro or anti-MAGA. It is time for you to be Republican. It is time for you to be conservative.

01:12:35–01:13:36

But it is also time for you to be what you just ran on and that is common sense. Not if but when the Democrats put something before you that is just that. That the Mango Mussolini overrides. Support it. Or excuse me, that he vetoes rather. Support it. You're not flipping sides when the national interests, when the nation's interests. When the American people's interests benefit from it. Am I right Hailey Stevens? When we're putting nation and the needs of the American people first. Isn't it okay to switch parties?

01:13:36–01:14:38

Right Mike Rogers? Well now it's your turn to possibly switch parties. When the Mango Mussolini vetoes something that he knows damn well he shouldn't. We're not far away. My point being we're not far away from a veto override. You didn't think this was going to be this strong. And you did it. We did it. After I was finished with my show yesterday I got my ballot out. The example ballot that the state of Florida sends everybody. I got that out. Looked it over. Did my homework. More of it actually. And I walked down the street to my polling location. And did my job.

01:14:38–01:15:43

And apparently in Florida I'm the kiss of death. But if it means we get an actual mandate nationwide I'll take it. Because if it's one thing we're going to see in Florida it's what we could be, good or bad. But I'll tell you what it is going to be. Non-Maga. And in a literal sense I'm all for making America great. I won't say great again. Because while I do believe we are one of the greatest nations in the world and we're not the only one. Come on. I've traveled this world. I promise you we're not the only one. But when it comes to actual greatness we've got a long way to go.

01:15:43–01:16:44

No. We're not there yet. We're not. One in four adult Floridians stop with a level one reading level. That being elementary school. I think there's three. I think they go grade school, high school, college reading levels. 25% of the adult population in the state of Florida do not read higher than a grade school reading level. Tell me how that is great. I think it was something like 80% of American households cannot handle a $400 emergency. Mine being one of them. Let me put that into perspective to you kids. $400 is not an emergency. $400 should be a speed bump.

01:16:44–01:17:45

I am so going to take this call on the air one of these days. I keep getting this call from this 267 number on my mobile phone. For those of you that don't know because we used to use it for WhatsApp. My mobile phone is a 267 area code. It's a Philadelphia overlay. Southeastern Pennsylvania overlay. So these telemarketers or I don't know maybe even creditor. I don't know who it is because I don't take calls on that phone. From numbers that I don't recognize and believe me by now I recognize these. But they don't leave messages. If you're calling me for any sort of professional or important reason. Leave a message. I will call you back. I will only ever call you one time. Because if you don't call me back.

01:17:45–01:18:47

Radio stations in Las Vegas. And Newport Richie. I hope you're listening. Because if you don't call me back. I get the hint. And I call someone else. Like I'm doing later today. Because what I said should have happened happened yesterday. I didn't think it was going to be this solid. I admit that. Scoring an 85 out of 100 percent on my choices for Senate. I don't think is good. I wanted that. I thought there were possibilities of that.

01:18:47–01:19:51

Save for Mississippi. But I just thought it was. I just pushed it away. Maybe I didn't have the confidence in my own judgment. But I pushed it away as wishful thinking. I was practical. My estimates were conservative. Well I'm not being conservative anymore. I'm a conservative person. But when I said I was going to get into political commentary. Back that same weekend when Dan Bongino and Tucker Carlson were fired from Fox News. When I first started up the middle. I said I was going to be true to myself. Glenn Beck is a flaming progressive. Yes. Dig. Find his early episodes from early in his career. When he was a tree hugger progressive liberal.

01:19:51–01:20:51

Here's the problem with that. It was before podcasts. It was before online streaming. So all he had was radio. And the only people who listened to radio then by and large were conservatives. So if he wanted a job. He had to get on the air and fake it every day. Like he still does. I'm not doing that. And when I talk about political and life balance. I don't think what we have now and what we'll be starting in 2027 with. Is something that we're going to keep as a society. I think enough of those people in both houses. Will screw up. Or be interpreted by their constituents as having screwed up.

01:20:51–01:21:50

And as such. Will lose their jobs. That's balance. I'm okay with that. Sure it's regrettable on some level. Especially for them. But I'm okay with that. Because that's putting the country first. But to maintain that. to obtain that balance, to achieve that balance, we've got some catching up to do. I'm so glad that Mike Johnson is no longer Speaker of the House. Yeah, I get it, he's the Speaker till January. Well, he's another lame duck.

01:21:53–01:23:12

Because I think they realize whatever they're gonna do if they even do get called back into session, probably won't even make it past John Thune and the Republican Senate before being sent off to Trump to be signed before it's overturned less than two months later. James made a great point last night And I believe this to be part of the reason, or a big part, or the reason why Donald Trump is now a lame duck. Because to get anything done outside of executive order, confirmation of a justice for example, There's no way if it's not done in November and December, if it's not confirmed in the next two months, it's not happening.

01:23:12–01:24:29

If Mitch McConnell can screw over Barack Obama with decent legitimate choices, then I don't know if it's going to be Chuck Schumer, I hope not, I really hope not. I would love to see Cory Booker become the Majority Leader. I would love to see James Talarico become the Majority Leader or Abdul El-Sayed. But I mean that's not realistic. But I know he wouldn't do it as the Minority Leader. I think it's time for him to become a Nancy Pelosi. Majority Leader Emeritus, or whatever they want to call it, consigliere, and say no, you're not getting a justice appointed in the next two years.

01:24:29–01:25:38

F.U. Mitch McConnell. The precedent has been set. We have other things to concentrate on. Isn't that right, Mitch McConnell? We need to prioritize ourselves with other things. I say we need to prioritize ourselves with other things. That's if Mitch McConnell ate too much of foghorn leghorn chicken Perhaps I dated myself by cracking that joke But I would love to see Cory Booker as the next majority leader in the Senate The guy who had now holds the record for the longest filibuster having broken the record of the Dixiecrat who set that record by speaking out against civil rights.

01:25:38–01:27:00

Hey Donald, F U. Strom Thurmond from back in like the 60s. Did he not have to piss any of that time, either one of them? How would you like to be that intern, literally being the one that holds a piss bucket in from the doorway, at the doorway, outside of view. What the rules are is you may actually stop speaking, but your feet may not leave the floor of the Senate. And so what sometimes happens is what I think actually did happen was you control the Senate, you have the floor, senators do not have a time limit, so you control the Senate, but But you may invite other senators to speak.

01:27:00–01:28:15

Procedurally you actually sit down temporarily giving them the floor, though you still have the floor, you still have control of it. You got a break. I forget what he read. If I was Cory Booker, doing that again, breaking Strom Thurmond's record again, I would have read something that kind of signifies it, like Uncle Tom's Cabin, or the book if there There even is one, the color purple. Gone with the Wind. Books that highlight those issues that Strom Thurmond spoke out against that aren't even appropriate in culture anymore because Gone with the Wind showed black people not only in slavery but also in stereotypical light.

01:28:15–01:29:12

Imagine that being read on the floor of the senate by a black senator breaking the record of the filibuster that delayed civil rights. But anyway, that's what he gets to do. And I would love to see that next step for him as being the majority leader. I just don't think, I don't think Chuck Schumer has the humility to let that happen while he's still an actual senator. He doesn't have the clarity that, let's be honest, say what you want about her stock habits and trades and what have you, or that of her, quote unquote, husband. She stepped down, she stepped back.

01:29:16–01:30:23

And then say what you want about Hakeem Jeffries, whether you like him or not, I don't care. He's the fresh blood that was needed. Was he right for the position? He was at that time because it wasn't Nancy Pelosi anymore. Not that she was bad, but that she needed to be part of the change that the Democratic Party was failing to represent. the political stunt that blew up in Hayley Stevens face, Mike Rogers face, to the maintained and continued positive campaign down in the south by James Talarico. The determination of Abdul El-Sayed, the blind view on sexuality in New Hampshire in favor of Chris Pappas. Today's episode of the Mastiff.Media Morning Show is probably giving you the most news we've ever given.

01:30:23–01:31:26

And while this is usually an apolitical show, sometimes the news just isn't that way. And so today's episode is not just about the past of last night, but it's about the future of this country. And if we are going to be or already a great nation, then it's about the future of democracy as a whole. Brazil just did it by keeping out a far-right extremist in Bolsonaro. Now is vacationing here in Miami, go figure. I guess that's the one immigrant this administration does want to let in. Those that agree with him. But Brazil did it. Europe has done it and is going to go back to doing it. See what happens in Israel.

01:31:26–01:32:16

Clearly there was a message given to Yahoo as well. If Trump can just, you know, slur people's names, and I can too. The guy in Israel is a yahoo, and that's not complimentary. This has been, MAGA people, are you listening? Last night, and the results are still coming in today. This has been a mandate. This is what a wave looks like. Not your little pink splash from two years ago. This is the Mastiff.Media Morning Show meets up the middle. Thanks for joining. Thanks for getting off the porch and running with the big dogs. Let's do this.
