Sam put your name at the time of nd A statue started Chicken and eagle fly Tennis gonna be here, win you him out three starting feel and it will be like the whole man is nain and down broughtie courtesy and wild and liberals be worn. Your viewpoints will be subjected to straight scrutiny. You're listening to Right Side Radios like my eyes have been blown wide. We have come together here because the American people deserve better from those

to whom they entrust our nation's highest offices. We stand united and are resolved to do something about it, which, whether we like it or not spelled JUNI, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny. You tuned into right Side Radio? All right, guys, you have found it. It is the Right Side Radio program coming to you this week. Recording this episode on Thursday, February the thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Of course, we're a day later than our usual record date.

That's because last night we recorded the latest episode of Chris McDaniels America, which you can go to YouTube and view. You can go to Center McDaniel's Facebook page. You can go to the Midnight Rides Facebook page to the Midnight Rides Twitter account. We are everywhere that you would want to find us. I think it's a stellar episode. I think it's one that had a lot of fun. We had a moment during the episode where tornado bells went off,

so that got interesting. But I think one of the biggest highlights was when Chris's youngest son, Chamberlain, called in after the tornado warnings came through. So it's like I said, it was a fun episode. Some very important information talked about, especially for those of us in the state of Mississippi. I don't want to talk for a second before I get into other topics about this whole debate over early voting.

Now you can hear more details about why early voting is not necessarily the good thing that some believe that it is mostly Democrats, but and there have been a few Republicans out there who have fallen for the idea of early voting. I'm here to tell you that there's a major problem with early voting. And this one again, fraud becomes easier under early voting. That we know, no matter how much they try to pretend that it doesn't,

it does. But the biggest problem I have with early voting is what happens if you vote forty five days early, and you go to the poll, you cast that vote for the candidate that you believe is the right guy for the job, and then you find out some information that proves to you he's not the right person. But you've already vot voted. You don't get to go back and take that vote back. You don't get to march down there and say, you know what, I made a mistake.

I need to vote now. No, we have an election day. It's called election day, not election forty five days. The fact is, if you're unable to get to the polls, there are arrangements that can be made. But most people they're not early voting because of a real reason. They're early voting because they don't want to be inconvenienced on

election day. And that's silly, that's ridiculous. I'm one of the ones who fully supports the idea of election Day becoming a national holiday, give everybody the day off of work, take away that excuse to not go vote. Plus, when you look at the demographics of early voting, it is disproportionately something that benefits more heavily populated Democrat regions of the country. So if you're a Republican and you're pushing for early voting, you're pushing to elect more Democrats. I

don't care what you say. I understand that some of you don't have very thick skin. But you're willing to go and break bread with Democrats on this issue. Will toughen up their buttercup, because it's about time that people call out fake, weak need Republicans. It's about time that folks start to punch these Republicans that sell us out every time they get a chance. They don't have a

principal bone in their body and they know it. And yes, sir, if you're wondering, if you're listening in the statements, yes I am talking about Senator Jeremy England when I say that it's someone that doesn't have a conservative bone in their body. Now he can sell you on that, he can pretend that he's a conservative, but he's a thin skinned little weasel who is now filling the pressure because Governor Tate Reeves called him out. Then Chris McDaniel called

him out. And I'm glad that they have because they're exposing his terrible idea and his willingness to work with the Democrats on an issue that will not benefit the greater good in the slightest. The answer to trying to up our voting turnout is not saying, hey, how about we let you just start voting forty five days early. How about we start letting you vote thirty day. No,

let's go to election day. And I'm sorry, I'm one of those people that thinks that if you're not motivated enough to go and actually vote on the day that is designated for you to go vote, then tough. There are exceptions that can be made military, so there are absolutely some exceptions out there. Absentee is a perfectly okay way to vote if you know that you're not going to be available on election day. But apparently that's not good enough anyway anymore, despite the fact that it worked

fine for years. I'm not a fan of votes. I'm not a fan of these ideas that open themselves up for fraud. But my biggest objection again is how many times down the stretch has something come out that is maybe made you rethink things the other thing, And this was pointed out by Chris McDaniel on Chris McDaniel's America. So I apologize if you've already seen that. And this sounds like repeating, but it needs to be repeated. Early

voting heavily favors the incumbent. The incumbent already has a war chest, he already has lots and lots of money. If you're going to make early voting a thing, these insurgent candidates, these folks that are willing to step out there and challenge an incumbent, they no longer can do that as easily because they don't have a lot of money. They definitely don't usually have the amount of money that

the incumbent has. So for them, there's a strategy involved to where they want to hit the final week two week blitz and try to really spend their money. More Wisely, if you open up voting forty five to thirty days early, they're going to have to start sooner, which means they're going to have to have double to triple the amount of money in order to even have a shot at

beating an incumbent. So there's another element here that again the politicians don't want to talk about because they understand this can protect their next because they're the ones with all the money. They're the ones they're going to have the best shot to be able to spend insane's amount of cash throughout the election cycle. They don't have to wait till the final week or two to have a major blitz. No, they can do it the entire time

because they have that war chest. So that's another problem that we have is the fact that they don't want to make the election fair. They say this is about helping the people, but don't buy it for a second. This is about helping themselves. This is about ensuring that they will be reelected time and time again. The sad reality is they're probably gonna get reelected anyway because people don't pay attention the way that they should. That's frustrating.

You know that I talk about that from time to time on this show. You've heard me multiple times talk about how they are not necessarily paying as close attention as they should, in many cases, aren't paying attention at all. And if we're going to open up the voting that much earlier, then guess what, You're going to have more uninformed voters showing up at the polls. So no, I'm sorry, this is not something I'll ever get on board with.

This is not something that I can ever support, and it shouldn't be something that the Republicans and Mississippi are pushing, but sadly it is. And we know why. I've said it before. I tried to convince people to not vote for him. But my home state, the state of Mississippi, has a lieutenant governor who, even though he has an R beside his name, Delbert Hosman, is a true Democrat and every time you see a policy, you can see that.

Just look at the Senates tax plan. You know, the House put out a plan that was going to completely eliminate the state income tax. Not the Senate. They'll reduce its song, but Delbert Hoseman has no intention of doing away with the state income tax. We told you people that you didn't want to listen, but time and time again, this man proves who he is. But you voted for him because you were too stupid to actually do any research about his actual record. It was there. He's a mean,

vindictive man. You don't believe he's vindictive. He had one of his members of the Hoseman goon squad, tried to regulate our state auditor's powers merely because the current state auditor has been rumored for a long time to want to run against Delbert Houseman for governor. That's who he is, that's who he's always been, but you didn't want to listen. And now we're stuck with him for a few more years, maybe even longer than that if he does win the

governor's mansion. This is a frustrating time in my state. And I apologize to our national listeners who may not care about what I'm talking about happening in the state of Mississippi, but you should, because I can promise you this. Your state probably has a lot of Republicans in name only the rhinos, the ones who put that conservative in big bold on their push cards. They tell you that they're a conservative, but they're not. You know who they are. Now.

Maybe your state's lucky and it's not controlled by them, but it could be one day, especially if one of them has you more hoodwinked and they get in power. Are they getting the right position? And the next thing you know, you're looking up in your state isn't the conservative state that you thought you elected. That's what happened here in Mississippi, and that can happen in other states. It's one hundred percent a possibility and could become a

reality anywhere. Now, if you live in a liberal wackado state, you know you're probably okay with that because you're a liberal wackadoo. Again. I just want to see Republicans adhere to their own party platform. There was a time in my life that I was very much a proud Republican. I'm a three time delicate to the state Convention, and yet my disgust with the current state of my own state's Republican party led me away from being a part of it, wanting to serve on an executive committee, or

being anywhere close to that. Stuff that's not on me, that's on them. Are there folks in our state that fly the Republican flag that I'm happy with? Sure, even though some of those I may have disagreed with from time to time. But the problem is when I look at a state Senate that is a majority and majority Republican body and they're pushing key Democrat platform issues over elimination of the state income tax. We don't want you to reduce it, Delbert Hoseman. We want you to eliminate it,

but you don't want to do that. You won't do that. And as long as you got little bitty cronies like the Jeremy England's of the world, who will go around and carry the water and do whatever you tell them to do because they're spineless, gutless little whims, little whims who I'm sure are going to cry because somebody went on a podcast and bullied them. Yeah, be a man, Be a man, don't cry about being bullied. But sadly, I don't think you are one. I think you've proven

that time and time again. Look, we're living an age now, and a lot of us learned about this because of that atrocious super Bowl halftime show, But we live in the age of the distrack, because apparently that was what one of the songs, or maybe two of the songs, or maybe the whole thing that that performer at the super Bowl was putting together. He was He's got beef with another rapper or something, and one of those songs

was all about him. And even though I didn't enjoy the performance because it's it wasn't for me, and I can freely admit that wasn't for me, which begs the question, why was that the show that you would choose to put on the most watched program in our country. But I do respect the fact that the guy didn't care. He wanted his beef to be heard on the biggest stage imaginable, and he went right at that guy. So

more props to you, More props to you. Now, please don't ever schedule him again to perform at the Super Bowl. I'm just again, is it too much to ask for the Republican Party to actually read its own platform and not just read it follow it? Is it too much to ask for the Republican to look at that platform and say, you know what, this is what it means to be a Republican, This is what it takes to

be a Republican. Is it too much to ask that when politicians that have that are by their name do not adhere to the platform, that party leaders actually call them out ford and don't just try to protect them because they're an incumbent Republican. We were told when the Republican Party in our state started to gain ground and gain control that primaries were going to be a good thing.

And yet if you watch the way that the state party acts towards any challenger of an incumbent, you know that they don't truly believe that primaries are a good thing because they do whatever they can to protect that incumbent, no matter how bad of a Republican he's been. He's an incumbent. We gotta fight for him. Why that's another Republican running against him, and we've already seen that he's not following the platform. Why why should you just fall

in line and try to protect the incumbent. That's just what the state party always does. Again, to those of you who listen to this show outside of the state of Mississippi, that's probably happening in your state too, So you should be paying attention. There's so many things that need to be adjusted that need to be changed around about the election process in our country. There are so many things that are our nation, our states need to reconsider the fact that elections cost as much money as

they cost nowadays. It is an unfair system that is rigged completely in favor of the incumbent. That's a problem. The fact that we've gotten to this means in which the candidate with the most money almost always wins. Sure, you get Cinderella stories here or there, you get an upset every now and then, but for the most part,

it doesn't matter how exceptional the challenger is. That incumbent will drop so much money on him, running negative ads with half truths and straight out lies, so that way they can try to spin the story that the challenge as just a bad guy, and you can trust me because you've always voted for me. You can trust me because I am your incumbent, and you will always follow what I want. That, my friends, is the biggest problem with the state, with the state, with this country, with

elections in general. We have to come up with a way in which we give the voice back to the people and not to the biggest donors. I don't have a full answer. I mean, I know in sports there are salary gaps on teams where the Dallas Cowboys can't spend more than the Green Bay Packers, despite the fact that the Cowboys are any much larger market. But our elections are a lot more like Major League Baseball than

the NFL because major League Baseball no salary cap. So the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees they can always outspend teams like the Kansas City Rules, the Tampa Bay Rays, they can always outspend them. That's exactly what you see playing out in the elections in our country. That's exactly what we see constantly when it comes to the elections

in the United States of America. I don't know how a political salarycap would work, and if the politicians are in charge of setting it, it will be so high that they'll be able to to stay under it but still outspend their opponents. So as much of a pipe dream of an election's salary cap might be, the system will still rig itself against the challenger, still going to rig itself in favor of the incumbent. It's frustrating people. There's a reason why people lose hope. There's a reason

why people stay home. And it's not because, as these early voter proponents want to try to pretend, it's not because they're forced to go vote on a single election day. I can promise you that's not why they're not voting. The reason they're not voting, and I must shock you here one is there already. They've already given up. They don't believe in the system. They don't believe that their

vote's gonna matter. They don't believe that by going to the ballot box they can affect change and the probably the most common reason why people don't go vote at the polls. Yes, they're lazy. I'm sorry to say it, and I know that's gonna piss some people off who just don't you know, I got so much to do. I don't have time to vote. I don't have time to study the issues. Look, I've said this before on the show. If you don't know the issues, if you

don't understand the candidates and what they stand for. Yes, I'm okay with you staying home. I don't want you to go vote because you're an uninformed voter and you're part of the problem. Uninformed voters who vote are one of the biggest problems in this country. But I'm not talking about uninformed voters who stay home. I'm about ones who are informed, they know enough, but they're too lazy to get off their butt and go. Giving them an extra forty five days that might change it for some

of them. But voting is our civic duty. It's something we should do and going on election day is not that big of a sacrifice. It really isn't. And if it were turned into a national holiday, then it would become even less of a sacrifice for you. But you know what, there's still be several of you that would stay your butt at home. You'd still sit there because you know what, it's national holiday, you know what. Let's

crank up the grill. Let's do this. I don't have to work, can't be troubled with going to the polls. It's frustrating people. We want to see more people involved in the election process, but we also want to make sure that those people that go vote are informed. And know, when I say informed, I don't mean agree with me wholeheartedly.

I mean that if you're if you're a Republican and you believe in conservative principles, you're voting for the person, not the party, but the person that in aligns with your conservative values. And if you're a Democrat who is a liberal, you're voting for the person than in aligns with your values. That's the process. That's the way it's supposed to be. Sadly, we have gotten so far away from that. And the money and the amounts of money that incumbents are able to raise and just sit on

through the sheer nature of holding that office. That is a major problem that is far bigger than any nonsensical argument anyone could make in favor of early voting. Let's do something meaningful if we're going to try to change things around and try to figure out a way to win back our country to get folks to vote, and not a parlor trick that is early voting nonsense. We're

gonna pause right here for a quick commercial break. This episode is probably gonna be a little bit shorter this week due to the fact that, you know, again we had to record a day later, but we still wanted to get out the flagship episode for you guys this week. When we come back, I want to talk about joe Joey Bahar. She is in the news again and once again said something extremely stupid. Imagine that. This is the right Side Radio Program. Will be right back the Midnight Ride,

the home of the anti establishment movement. This network features great programming such as Chris McDaniel's America, God and Country, The right Side Radio Show, Paul Revere's Liberty Layer, and many more coming soon. So check out the Midnight Ride today. Head to the Midnight Ride dot com and check out all the amazing content. All right, guys, welcome back here to the Right Side Radio Program and what will be the home stretch of the radio show, the final segment

of the program today. Again, sorry, it's gonna be a little bit shorter episode this week. That is again due to yesterday having to record Chris McDaniels America. Of course, as I mentioned, I believe it was on the last episode. I just recently took a job with the Laurel Leader Call as a reporter, and you know, again we had some tornadoes touched down in a neighboring county, and of course that meant today we spent a lot of time

working on stories in that coverage. But I also want to send my thoughts in prayers to those in Wayne County, Mississippi, that were affected by the storms that actually hit yesterday, day day before this was this episode was recorded, So thoughts and prayers to them. There a lot of families that lost their homes in these storms, and unfortunately we've got more storms coming in on Saturdays, so there's a possibility that we could be in for more rough weather.

Hopefully it is nowhere near as rough as what we just saw, and hopefully the good people out there are helping these families who some lost everything, homes completely blown away, and we want to keep them in our thoughts and prayers. I do want to though, before we wrap this episode up, I want to want to talk about Joy Bayhar. You know Joy Bahar, bless her heart. She is allegedly a comedian,

although I've never heard her say anything remotely funny. But she is a host of the View and she is probably, and this says a lot considering that show, she is probably one of the dumbest people on that show. Oh, I know there's somebody you say, Oh, you can't say that, that's too mean. I'm sorry, But I'm not sorry because Joy Behar is a blithering idiot. And if you don't believe me, just listen to her talk, because again, when you hear her speak, you know that you're dealing with

a stupid person. Now she's complaining about America being named for some white guy. That's right. Now. Again, they were having a discussion about the name change of the Gulf

of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Weaken debate whether or not that is a meaningful change or not another time, but she's making that she was having that debate, and then she goes off on some idiotic tangent about the name change and that it's offensive that a country that was settled by indigenous people is named after a white person.

Joy And I say this with the utmost sincerity. Get out of the country if you don't like it, if you hate this country so much, if you can't stand the fact that America was named or some white guy, get out instead. You sit here and don't know how much money you make during the view. But I dare say that you're fairly wealthy. I dare say that despite your amazingly the amazing lack of talent that you have, that you have figured out a way to do okay

for yourself. Yeah, you still love to complain about it. We're not changing the name of the United States of America. Look, I've gone on record, I'm not the biggest fan of changing the name of the Golf of Mexico to the Golf of America, mainly because I'm somebody that recalls from changing things that have been a certain way for a long time. Anyway, but it's crazy that this is a heel she wants to die on, and of course Mexico's

president she is. She's upset with the name change as well, even getting mad at Google or changing it on their Google Maps. She's even threatening to file a civil suit. I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone cares what you think, especially not in this country. But she's offended. Maybe that's one good thing about it, because I just really don't

care what the president of Mexico thinks. I really don't care about her opinion on this issue, and I don't like her trying to make legal threads over something as trivial about what Google puts on its maps. If you don't like it, tough, It's that simple. It is what it is. Move on, you know. In more news, there was a writer I believe it was for Glamour magazine who wanted to claim that during the Super Bowl, when Taylor Swift was shown on the video screen, she was booed.

She wants to claim that it was another example of misogyny sexism. No, it was an example of Philadelphia fans booing the girlfriend of one of the opposing teams, the Kansas City Chief Star Players. It was another example of Philly fans boing a celebrity who showed up wearing the colors of the other team. Let's not forget that Philly fans are the same people who notoriously booed Santa Claus. Was that because they hate old people? Was that because

they're fataphobes they don't like fat people. No, it's because Philly fans are the poster children for bad sports fans in America period. Let's also not forget that Taylor Swift inserted herself into politics last year when she endorsed Kamala Harris. That endorsement also turned people off. It has nothing to do with misogyny or sexism or whatever crap they want to say. It has everything to do with the fact

that she has become a polarizing figure. Yes, she has her adoring fans, but she also has a lot of people that are tired of her. She also has a ton of football fans that are tired of the constant cutaways to see her reaction in her luxury box. So yeah, Now, if I had been in the super Bowl Dome during the Super Bowl and they cut the screen and showed us Taylor Swip, I partaken in the booze. No, because I just don't care enough about her to even verbalize

a boo I really don't. But at the same time, I'm going to defend those who did, because I honestly don't believe it has anything to do with being this sexist, and I'll prove it to you later. In that same game, there was an actress by the name of Anne Hathaway. She was shown on the screen. She was wearing the colors of the Philadelphia Eagles, and those Philly fans cheered her.

That's right, they cheered a woman. They didn't boo her. Again, if they were all just sexist and massoninistic and another example of toxic masculinity, whatever crap the Left is throwing out this week, maybe that's my problem. Maybe I'm just a I'm suffering from toxic masculinity. Maybe that's why I pick on people like Jeremy England. Maybe that's the reason why I don't think there was anything harmful about booing

Taylor Swift. If you're going to go to a football game, and I understand the Super Bowl's played on neutral site, but my understanding is the Eagles fan showed out for that game. My understanding having been to several football games my life, several times where I was walking into the opposing team stadium wearing the colors of the team that I wanted to root for, and I understood with that means you might get booed, you might get heckled a

little bit. Try going to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge wearing the colors of the team taking on their beloved LSU Tigers. Try going to the Swamp wearing the colors of the opposing team going up against the Gators Ohio State. I can name multiple places where I know that if you walk into that stadium rooting for the opposing team, you're probably going to catch a little hell. It's just

the nature of sports. Some of it, you hope, for the most part, is just good natured ribbing, but sometimes it might go a little below the belt, which put on your big boy bridges, and you just deal with it because you know you're an enemy territory, so you just put up with it. You deal with it, you move on, and if your team wins, well, if you're smart, you probably walk out of there acting like you've won

a game before. That's all that was. But again, the Left always has to find an excuse and come up with another ism or phobia or whatever, because it can't just be because people are tired of Taylor Swift It can't just be because Taylor Swift is wearing the colors of the team that the most people in the stadium are rooting against. No, it can't be any of that. It must be what about I guarantee you some of those booths were probably coming from women too. Were they

being sexist? Were they being misogynistic of a woman? Bood Taylor Swift here in the Super Bowl. Your argument's stupid. You probably already knew your argument was stupid when you wrote it, but you wrote it anyway because you don't care that your argument's not sound. You just care about writing more inflammatory, devisive nonsense because you probably have your own hatred. You probably just hate men. That's probably the real truth of the matter here. Ah See, now I've

flipped your entire script on its head. Something tells me, though, I'm probably closer to the truth than you are. Guysince has been the right side radio program. Thank you for listening.
