Hour 2 - Coulter Predicts GOP Midterm Wipeout

Clay Travis (0:00)

Welcome in, hour number two. We are sitting just four days away from the midterms, breaking down all the data, the absolute latest for all of you.

And we are also telling you, happy early Halloween. We hope you stay safe with your friends, family, and everything else going on on Saturday. Should be quite the festive weekend leading into the midterms. We are joined now by my wife's favorite guest on the program, Ann Coulter. Ann says that she always loves when you come on, Ann, because you don't tiptoe up to anything. And most of the time you say exactly what she is thinking. So there you go.

Ann Coulter (0:38)

You married a good woman.

Clay Travis (0:40)

You got the-

SPEAKER_3 (0:40)

Smart lady. Yeah, she's a smart lady.

Of Laura Travis. And I want to dive into, oh, I'm sure we're going to hit on a lot of different topics, but I want to start with this Alaska mess that Democrats have created. This New York Times article. I rarely say this, but I hope everyone reads it because it is incredibly detailed. The emails and the text messages that they cite. To me, it is an open and shut case that they have clearly caught Democrats red-handed intending to get people to fraudulently select who they want to be the person they're voting for. There's the decoy Dan Sullivan. There's the real incumbent Dan Sullivan. You've got the law background too. Ann, what did you think when you read this story? Where do we go from here?

Ann Coulter (1:28)

Well, also the research on it, I talked about it on my podcast yesterday. This was going to be one of my stories on my podcast before the New York Times story. Because the mainstream media's big point last week, thankfully, Donald Trump claimed he was going to criminally prosecute or have the Department of Justice investigate if the election was close in Alaska because of this chicanery.

The media went nuts and said he has no legal basis, no standing, he can't do this, elections are run by the states. I'm reading through this whole article thinking, yeah, but New York Times, isn't this really sleazy? Has anybody looked into whether Peltola is behind this? So I did a Grok search on, are the Democrats, is there any evidence the Democrats are involved in getting this fake Dan Sullivan to run? And even Grok knew last week. I mean, everyone working for him who did all the press forum, they're all big Democrats, they've worked for the opposition Peltola. He's never voted for a Democrat, he's contributed to the opposition. So there was already plenty of evidence. And then what was striking about this story, I was wondering why everyone was so excited about breaking news, New York Times. Okay, the New York Times has a lot more now. But the appalling thing about that is this reporter had this months ago. He wrote about Mary Peltola, the Democrat running. She has one of the highest staff turnovers on Capitol Hill. Apparently she's quite a wild woman. And a bunch of longtime staffers were laid off sometime this summer.

So this reporter, Kellen something, goes up to Alaska. And he has text messages, multiple people saying that she uses, well, I can say it on my podcast, probably can't say it on your show, the F word for either a gay male or the appropriate use, a wimpy douche bag.

And well, you can surely say you retard. That's one of the world's greatest words.

Abdul El-Sayed (3:36)

You are allowed to say that on radio.

Buck Sexton (3:38)

Yes, yes, that is not a bad word.

Ann Coulter (3:41)

Okay, we haven't gone totally woke yet. So she's used both of them a lot. And I admit finding out that she used them made me more inclined to vote for if I'd been Alaska. But this dirty trick is so sleazy. And the fact that the New York Times had this, that the Peltola campaign or Alaska Democrats hired some big Democratic operative, they brought him in from Illinois. They made the campaign, the Peltola campaign made a list of all Dan Sullivan's in all of Alaska. This is how long they've been working on this.

And I'd also say it's outrageous that the New York Times had this and they held it. Yeah, cats out of the bag now.

And the other thing I'd say is the arguments against this, I'm sick of hearing people say which they all say, oh, both sides do this, this happens all the time. No, it's incredibly rare and for it to have it happen in a Senate election, the second highest office in the land after president. I think it's unprecedented. I would like to see a case. There was a case a few years ago in Florida and it was some minor local legislative election and they needed to find another Rodriguez, which there are a lot of them in Florida. And some Republican operative got a Rodriguez to run because the Democratic incumbent was Rodriguez. And they were criminally prosecuted. They were fined. One of them was sentenced to jail. The other one, I think, got the one, the Rodriguez. I think he just got a long parole time.
