Where did this weekend go? On this show, though, you're going to love it—an exclusive interview with this hero detective from the NYPD, Jose Mercedes. What he did: absorbing ten stabbings, able to survive. We're able to get the illegal immigrants who perpetrated the crime. We'll talk about it.
Call roll on the gerrymandering district in Texas. Will it produce seats for the Republicans? Maybe not. Not so fast. And Kid Rock goes to the White House with some important people.
Talks about it along with his brand new album. But first, this: the midterm blitz. We are just nine days away from what feels like the most consequential, monumental, pivotal midterm race in history. Generic congressional preferences right right now favor the Democrats. You got a real clear average that gives them roughly an eight point advantage.
It'll fluctuate.
Well, could spell some trouble for the House, where Republican, of course, with that generic ballot, where Republicans are a little less optimistic. But look at the Senate. They're still very much alive in this. For a while, they look like a lock. Then they look in jeopardy.
But now you still have six to nine races in play. Six of the nine are remaining an absolute toss-up, dead heat.
So where do Republicans need to focus their energy with so much in play? A guy that knows wants to weigh in, and we want him to weigh in too. Ben Shapiro. He's the host of the Ben Shapiro Show and also the producer of a movie called Confession. Out in November, Ben.
First off, what are the out of the nine big races that are virtual toss-up? Let's focus on some of the big ones, like for example, Texas. Why do you find that so intriguing?
Well, if the Republicans lose Texas, it's almost a lock that they lose the Senate if they lose Texas, because obviously Texas is a deep red state. The president won it by double digits, and James Talerico is leading that race, but within the margin of of error. And this is true of pretty much all of the races that are now being labeled toss up. All of them are are margin of error races. Obviously, Texas being a heavily red state in terms of registered voting means that Paxton should have the advantage.
Calarico is really going to have to outperform there in order to continue to win that race, especially because typically the polling error in Senate races tends to favor the Democrats, and so that's that's a real dead heat. Obviously, Texas is kind of number one on the Democrats' hit list. If they take it, it's basically going to be a horrible night for for Republicans. For Republicans defending the the other big seat that they really really need to win, obviously, is Iowa. Iowa is is up in the Ashley Hinton is taking on Josh Tuerck.
Tuerck is probably the best Democratic candidate who's running in this cycle. He sort of profiles as the most moderate candidate in the cycle for the Democrats. And so, if they're able to take Iowa again, that's a real bellwether for the night. I think Susan Collins pulls out the race in Maine. She's a survivor.
She's been losing in the generic ballot average for years in Maine, and then she pulls out every race in Maine anyway.
So, again, I think right now you're hearing a lot of narrative about there being a gigantic blue wave for Democrats. I don't see the Evidence that there is a blue wave in the offing. It could be, but certainly the evidence is not there to say that there certainly will be. Flippable, obviously Michigan. That's a virtual dead heat.
El Sayed against Mike Rogers. Rogers is always a solid candidate, but now he's picking it up with great passion, focusing on his background, not afraid to say, "Look at these Muslim Brotherhood ties." And then he flip El Sayed flips it back and goes, "They just don't like that I'm Muslim." Who wins that argument? I think that Mike Rogers wins that argument. The truth is that Michigan Senate race should not be close, and the reason I say that is you're in an off-year election. The president's approval ratings are not particularly high right now, and this seat that is about to be filled was a Democrat seat.
So all of those factors should cut in favor of a heavy Democratic advantage. Probably, if Haley Stevens were running for that Senate seat instead of Abdul El Sayed, then the Democrats would be a virtual lock for that seat. The fact that this is running neck and neck really suggests to me that Rogers is a lot more. In that race, I'm not buying the argument that El Siaad is going to walk away with that race. His history is really bad, and he's actually betraying some signals.
I would say unease with his status in the race. He's, for example, spending an awful lot of time trying to recruit black voters in that race. If you're a Democratic candidate and it's the last couple weeks of the election in Michigan, and you're spending your time trying to lock down the black vote in Michigan, that means you got a problem. Listen to this, Ben. I know you know this because I listen to your show, but I want everyone to hear this.
This should have been a deal breaker. Listen to him talk about his.
So you don't consider Israel to be an American ally? Your kid has a friend who keeps bumming off their their their money, and then talks about them behind their back, and then gets them into into fights with other friends. What would you tell your kid to do with that friend? You probably tell them maybe it's not actually a friend. I think it's time for us to realize that, like, Israel is not actually our friend.
And he couldn't disseminate between Iran and Israel as a friend. Other years that would kill him. Is this the new Democratic mantra? It does seem as though this is going to be the Democratic Party going forward. I'd be quite shocked if we hit 2028 and there isn't a sort of litmus test on the Democratic stage as to how much you hate Israel and are willing to lie about it.
Obviously, in that sort of analogy, the question that I would ask is: Who are the friends that Israel is supposedly talking us into attacking? Would that friend be Iran in his vision? Because that is the only war that is currently ongoing in which the United States is involved, and the president has openly denied, obviously, that Israel "quote unquote" talked him into that particular conflict. Al Sayed signed a letter in 2012 in solidarity with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, so he's not really hiding the ball here. Although he's trying to lie about it quite a lot.
Unbelievable, but we'll see what happens. He should lose every Jewish vote. Let's see if he does, and that could be the difference.
So, all eyes on 2028. It's not too soon to talk about it. In fact, it came up this week. President Trump says he has not spoken to the VP about a personal endorsement yet, and refusing to. And also, the vice president came out and was asked.
About doing what the president did, endorsing Bibi as the next prime minister of Israel. This is what he said over the weekend: the president endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election. Israel, do you endorse Benjamin Netanyahu? The president has the most effective endorsement in American or international political history. I endorse American candidates, and that's where I'm focused on as the midterm.
So I'm not getting involved in Israeli elections.
So, so you're not—you don't want to say one way or the other whether you—I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him. I'm not getting involved in Israeli elections. Right.
Okay. Read between the lines because he did go to Hungary and push for Orbán to win.
So he does get involved in international elections. Yeah, so certainly he's stumped for Orbán in Hungary. He's also spoken out in support of Alice Fidel with AFD in Germany. He had Bolsonaro visit him in the United States. Again, the vice president is entitled to endorse or not endorse anybody that he wants to.
Obviously, it's a little interesting that he doesn't want to "quote unquote" get involved in Israeli politics. I see some rationale behind that, obviously. But you know, the vice president—it remains to be seen how popular the vice president is going to be in the absence of a Trump endorsement going forward. Toward 2028, obviously, is the prohibitive front runner. The sort of generic Republican opinion toward Vance is very much reflective of the generic Republican love for President Trump.
But if the president doesn't openly endorse Vance, or if he endorses somebody else, the math changes. Yeah, well, it's going to be very exciting, and that's it's going to be the number one story right after November third election. Ben Shapiro, you're always great. Thanks so much. Continue success.
Thanks, Brian. Talent is not here like some other. Entertainers to influence you with their, okay. Here to forget about all the outside. Metallica's agenda is love, energy, and heavy music.
There you go, rocking out without the political lecture. Can you imagine Metallica making it clear they're here to play music? They're not going to push politics. It doesn't mean they don't have an opinion. They're not going to do it instead of playing.
It's a message that stands in sharp contrast to several artists who have shied away from their bringing their political views to the stage. In fact, they've been going forward and saying things like this: "Free Palestine." I said, Free Palestine. This White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world. I just wanted to take a moment to think about us the Belgians. People who don't look like you and aren't born where you're from—they deserve respect and a voice.
Number one, I just don't get what he's wearing. Number two is, does he know he was talking about? That's Harry Styles. He's talking about an illegal immigrant with an alarming rap sheet that was shot by ICE in New York City because he was trying to run them over with his car. But when fans buy pay big buckets of money for a concert, are they buying a ticket to a show or a political rally?
We got to ask that question, and I got to ask it to my next guest because he knows all about it. He's not afraid to speak his. Out about what's happening in our country. He is rock legend Kid Rock, who has a brand new album that we're going to talk about. But Kid, great to see you, Bob!
Fantastic, good to see you. What do you think about what I just showed you? Are you on the Metallica side or are you the Harry Styles side? Metallica all day long. I agree with James Hetfield a thousand percent.
I agree with Mick Jagger when he says it. Stage and And sporting arenas—that isn't the place to preach your politics. This is the place to talk about politics, right here, today. And I believe it's okay to have an opinion. It's—it's a disappointment that so many people hate other people and artists because they may have opinion outside of being on the stage or their music.
You know, I'll be the first one to say, even though. The clip I saw Bruce Springsteen—he looks like he's dressed as like a substitute school teacher. I don't know what's going on with him. I still, I still enjoy his music. I could care less about his politics, but I've said a million times I believe that thinking differently and having the freedom to do so is what makes this country great.
Would he speak to you if you saw him? Because being that you know you're having dinner with, I would think so. I would think we could at least be cordial or whatnot. But but I do think about that from time to time. I go, you know, because I've said a million times, I'll speak to anybody.
I have a an open, honest, you know, constructive conversation with anybody on the face of this earth. I don't care if it's Dylan Mulvaney or James Hetfield, anybody. But I wonder sometimes. I go, would Billie Eilish, if I said, Hey, let's have lunch, you know, she'd be like. I'm not sitting down with that disgusting dead rod.
These people are whacked out. You know what I mean? Because you you see you see this in their mannerisms and how they portray themselves. What are your big hit songs with Cheryl Crow? Yeah, and we still sit down and talk.
You do? It does it. She had me over to her house. I don't know, maybe a year ago or something to talk about gun control. Right.
Happy to sit down with her. I was like Cheryl, you live in the wrong town. She lives in Nashville now. I'm like, move back to L.A. or New York City where you were for all those years till you had you know your beautiful children.
Right, I was like, "Go ahead, back to those spots. No guns. Let's talk about Michigan. I know you're passionate about this. Is not listen.
It's locked in going against Mike Rogers. Let's see what happens. Center left against center right. May the best candidate win. The CIA person against the FBI person.
I'm personally fine with that too. Me too. I, as an American, I'm very concerned about El Sayed. I know he doesn't like the country. His denying his background that's already been on video.
But you're in Michigan. Why is this even close?" Yes. I have no idea, really, and I and I wonder about these polls. I really do, but I mean, Michigan's a purple state, and we're in the midterms. We know the midterms are very hard to win for either party.
I'm not sure if either one's won it in 80 years. I heard of something like this, but you have to be careful of somebody like that. I mean, even my friend Bill Maher agrees with me, and and I've been saying this man's a wolf in sheep's clothing, or very potentially can be. I mean, you look at his background, his ties, his mother's ties to the to the Muslim. Brotherhood, and you don't think a mother has influence on her children, and you know this man.
You know it looks like he assimilated very well to American culture and had great opportunities and took advantage of all those. But he claims to be a liberal. What's your stance on abortion in the Muslim community? How about gay marriage? How about women's rights?
I don't think anyone's pressed him on these issues. And every time they talk about Iran or Israel, who's the biggest threat? He can't pick one. Right.
And I'm like, wait a second.
So this guy's assimilated. I go, guess who else is assimilated? The Fort the the Fort Hood shooter, the men. The pilots who assimilated and on 9/11 the hijackers, yeah, flew those planes into our things. You don't think this man can assimilate to further his religious ideologies, right?
And I go, it's scary stuff. I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican, like you said, Alyssa, Slotkin, or Mike Rogers. I get it. Those are two different ideas. We might have some fundamental differences, but may the best person win.
And I would congratulate them on either side. Always have, you know, of Democrats, Republicans. This is scary now. These people are socialists. They hate our country.
And they want to implement their ideologies on us. And one another, another reason I'm jealous of you is I was not at the dinner, but the most fascinating dinner you could possibly attend. Stephen A. Smith, Bill Maher, Kid Rock, with the President of the United States, four and a half hours. You had to leave at eleven o'clock at night.
They were still talking. You know how many times I've left the party early in my life? One, zero. That was it. Right?
Can you give us a tone and tenor? Yeah, it was very, it was very constructive. Civil conversation touching very, very poignant issues to everyone involved. Stephen A. had his issues, especially with the black community, which he made very vocal.
Was he mad at the president on Eighth? No. No, but when he said, you know, if he would say, "I don't agree with you on that," I think differently. That was fine, and they could banter about it, talk back and forth. I will let him share those conversations.
Understood. I can verify them if need be, and the same with Bill. Bill was a lot more relaxed this time, being our second dinner there, and he got to ask the president some tough questions, and the president answered them all. And it was this is this is what America needs more of. And when the president went at him, said I never should had dinner with him.
He was on the say, I go here, he's going to yell back at the president. Said he goes, Ah, don't worry about it. Yeah, I knew he was going to get mad. I tell you that story from the first dinner. Yeah, it's like I am in the Oval Office the day of the dinner, and you know I understand Trump, the president has a lot of things going on, and he's like.
This dinner tonight with Bill Maher. He's like, you know, I didn't even know about it. He's like, Melania told me about it this morning. He's like, I don't know if this is the right thing. Blah blah.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, sir. I'm like, do you think, number one, that I would line up a dinner with with one of your biggest adversaries, and not tell you about it? I go, number two. Do I have the power to do that? Can I just call a line of dinners?
You show up. You're even more powerful than you thought. The bill was a lot more relaxed this time, and really, and it was great because he was more open to ask a lot of the tough questions that he wanted to ask. And one of the things you did tell me on Fox and Friends is the D is being misinterpreted. It's not anti-minority.
It's leveling the playing the field to give people opportunity. And when a minority breaks through, it's not going to be because someone put their hand on the scale and that. That's how it was converted, and maybe to Stephen. And I've seen a lot of black men, educated black men, on podcasts like the Cartier family and whatnot, that understand this. That that they don't want to play victim.
They they want just the opportunities everyone else has, and may the best and the brightest, you know, win. That's that's America. That's how it should go. We got to get over this. Oh, you know, this.
You know, you're a victim. This. It's got to stop. Right.
I I'm excited for you. I've never seen you so pumped up for an album. You got a brand new album. It's called "Halfway to Number Two Jesus," and it's out. How hard?
What makes this special? Because you told me this is really special to you, not just to be successful.
Well, it's number one spreading, you know, the word of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. With the Kid Rock style, right? Very Kid Rock. This is not. This is not your father's spiritual album.
This is everything I do: rock and roll, country, hip hop, rhythm and blues. It's the music I. When I go to different churches, and there's no shortage of talent, talent between Nashville and Detroit in the church, I'm still not hearing the music that I want to hear. That that makes church a place, or a revival, a place that you want to be. Not that you kind of have to be, not feel this dark kind of thing.
Catholic church, you know, I'm Catholic and proud of it, but man, that church is boring.
So I created these songs and I'm spreading this message. It's about you know forgiveness, second chances, about healing some of the division in this country. I got my old friend Eminem on there, Little Wayne, Gary Luvox, Jimmy Allen.
So it's it's very special to me to put something positive out, extremely positive in the world. When another musician comes and sees your work and and joins and Joins the song. What's the feedback they gave you when they read it and listened to it? You mean the people on the album? Yeah.
Oh, they were totally down with it. Totally got it. Me and me and Eminem talked years ago, just when the political thing was going on and Trump entered the spectrum. You know, he went pretty hard at him. I was all for him, still am.
That you know, hey, let's not let politics divide us. We've been friends for far too long. We have too much history, and we have we've remained friends for nearly forty years. Wow.
So, and and I think who would have thought that two little foul mouthed white rappers from Detroit could maybe show America. A little bit of grace and how we can still be friends even though we think different. And there I say, you not only want people to listen, but also read the words because the words matter, and and that's where the impact is. Yeah, he's been speaking to me for about two years through ones and sevens, and that's you say God has been. Yes, God has been.
So I don't know what that means, ones and sevens.
Well, my birthday is one seventeen seventy one. You know, my middle name's James. I looked up James one seventeen in the Bible, which basically says all good things come through God, and I could go on and on. I live off. Exit seventeen.
I will have friends who are dying say talking to them and saying, "Look at my daughters." I'll tell them about this journey and say, "Look at my daughter's number from her dance competition yesterday. It's one seventeen." I could go on. I live off exit seventy one at sevens and ones, and I've seen it my whole life. But a couple years ago, especially after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I started to grow closer in my faith, like a lot of people did. And these numbers kept coming.
I was like, "This is God speaking to me." And it would be in weird times when I had different thoughts about different things, and I started to write that stuff down. And next thing you know, I have this album of material, and I'm like. All right, man. I'm listening. I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna put your word out. I got you, buddy. Between your talent and that type of motivation and inspiration, this is gonna be maybe your biggest hit. It draws a lot of evils lurking. It already is.
I can tell, and a lot of my very spiritual friends have told me, like, you know, you have a very big platform and a voice to spread this word, and evil's gonna come at you. And I've already seen it in a few forms. And the records just came out.
Well, thanks for coming on One Nation and talking about it. Thanks so much, Bob. That Kid Rock's new album, "Halfway to Jesus," is now out. Download it.

I realized I was bleeding a lot. I had lost a lot of blood. I want to thank that person that called 911 on my behalf. When I thought I was going to die, these perpetrators—they're illegal. They're prior crimes.
I'm calling out. They need to do 25 years to life. I agree. NYPD detective Jose Mercedes was off duty when he was stabbed ten times during a robbery earlier this month. The alleged attackers, criminal legal aliens from the Dominican Republic, you're seeing them over my shoulder.
The attack reigniting a heated debate over New York City's sanctuary policies, immigration detainers, and whether the system is doing enough to keep repeat offenders off the street and keep Jose healthy. Joining us now, exclusively for his first interview since being stabbed ten times, NYPD detective extraordinaire Jose Mercedes and Scott Monroe, who is president of the Detectives Union. Welcome to both of you. Thanks so much for. Telling your story, and Jose, great to see you.
Glad you're okay. We watched that press conference, Scott. We know each other. You've been to the radio show before. Can you bring us back to that day, Detective?
You were off duty. Yes. You said you went to your car. You went to your trunk, and what happened?
So it was one o'clock, sunny day in the Bronx. I went to my car. Thought I was going to be at my car for just a minute. I was wearing sandals. It popped up in my trunk.
I'm sort of gathering my belongings from the rear of my trunk when, just suddenly, I was approached by two masked men. These guys? Yes. And one of them displayed the knife, and it was too close for comfort. It was right in my face, and reached over and grabbed these chains.
I'm trying to grab the chains that were on my neck. I had you couldn't see them because from just me standing, you can only see the little bit on the top of my neck. And at that point, the first thing that happens is my heart drops. You feel fear, and even for a guy trained like you, on the job for ten years, just that's a human reaction. Yes, it's a surprise.
It's a surprise as I wasn't expecting that. It's not like a sort of like a role play when it's like kind of three. This is going to happen. It's just, day when you're half asleep, one o'clock, you just sunny day in the Bronx, and all of a sudden you turn around and there's two guys wearing masks and a knife, demanding your property.
So, like I said, the first thing that went through my mind was fear. My heart dropped. The next thing that went through my mind was action. I had to defend myself because I thought they were going to kill me. That the knife was so close to me, and I had to try to constrain them because I'm I'm not sure what they're capable of.
But you're just you're a big guy. How big are you? Six four. I'm six three, about two hundred and ten pounds.
So they looked at you as a target, which is stunning to me, because usually one an easy mark. You're bigger than both of them, right? They got the knife. Yes. And your instinct is, I'm not giving up this.
I'm not going to get robbed. My instinct is I don't want to get stabbed, and I don't know what other weapons the both of them have.
So, had I seen them coming and I was able to avoid this anyway, I would have tried to avoid it. If I could have got in my car, if I could have ran away, anything that I could have done to avoid this, I would have tried to avoid this situation. But when you just suddenly turn around and they're in your face, and like. The fear that comes upon you, and your your body turns cold, and then the immediate their action thereafter, your adrenaline kicks in, and now it's action time.
Now I have to defend myself with all my might or die.
So at that point, I, I a lot of my detective skills kicked in, so I was able to unmask the person as I was struggling with him to over the knife, right. Was able to defend myself, and then some way somehow, I was able to unmask the second person as well during the struggle. You tell them in Spanish and English. I'm a cop, right? Yes.
Spanish and English. Yes. It's like you know, thinking that they would sober up. The size of you didn't stop them, and that didn't stop. Yes.
I want to let them know that there's going to be consequences for these actions. You can't go around stabbing. Robbing people, like that's that's no good. It's not. I want to know there's going to be consequences, and I would expect them to abandon that mission and leave me alone and not try to stab me and not try to rob me.
What happened? They continued, and you started stabbing you in your arm.
So, I got ten stab wounds all over my left and right arm, and my back. One of them being so severe as that, I had to get a. Reparation surgery to my tendon and my muscle, but yeah, it doesn't phase them. As they as they fled, now at this point, I'm just having my eyes on them, and I want to call nine one one. And now, based on our training, the first thing that I would have done had I had my duty belt, I would have went for my radio, and I would have put a description over.
Right.
Being that, but you're not. You, yeah, you're not on the job. I'm not on the job.
So the next best thing was to be to call 911, and I try to call 911, and at first my phone wouldn't unlock. And I'm keeping eyes on these guys as so because I want to know where they're going because I want to put a description over it. Suddenly I grab my phone again, and is completely filled with blood. And at that point is When I I stop running, I remember some of the cases that I've investigated, and I remember that when you lose a lot of blood, your condition becomes much more dangerous. How much trouble was he in, Scott?
Physically, what you've learned about Jose's condition. Terrible! And thank God there was experienced police officers there to put a tourniquet on him to help him. And and one civilian came out and did help him, for a New Yorker to come out and help. And and you know that's it's very concerning out there.
And then we find out that this guy, one of these guys, got a criminal, huge criminal record, and they're both here illegally. Correct.
So the one was here illegally, and basically he was the one stabbing our detective. And listen, they don't belong here. How does that happen? You know, they're taking politics before public safety right now. That's what's going on, and and law enforcement.
They're taking politics and law enforcement before law enforcement. It's just incredible. How do you feel now about what you did and what you went through? I understand that you thought you were going to die, one hundred percent. I thought I was going to die at a certain point.
My skin. Change colors. I became pale. My lips also became pale, and I cannot thank enough the first of all God, second of all the nine one one caller, the five two officers that responded, and they were they just assisted me with with so much urgency and the emergency service unit, and they completely like brought me back to life by applying tourniquets to both of my arms. I did a lot of things tactically correct, but I also forgot a few things.
Some of the most important things would be these tourniquets that prevented me from bleeding out. I completely forgot, based on the stress that I was going. Of course, and the severity. I just I couldn't even grasp it at the time. And I just want to thank my brothers, my sisters, and Blue for coming out and.
They're the reason that I'm here today. Final final thoughts, Scott. It's help. Help. This doesn't happen to anybody.
Anybody. I mean, this happened to law enforcement. There's no respect for law enforcement, and that's what's going on here in the city. There's no respect for law enforcement. Jose, thanks so much.
Appreciate it.
So glad you were right. True hero. Scott, thanks for telling the story. Thank you. All right.

A federal appeals court appears skeptical of a Trump administration lawsuit seeking to force California officials to set aside thousands of mail-in ballots. The administration claims they were sent to non-citizens ahead of the November 3rd midterm elections. During a rare Sunday hearing, the court signaled it sees serious concerns about the demand for immediate action. They also questioned the government's legal arguments and whether the appeals court should intervene at this stage. Separately, a lower court will hear the case on Tuesday.
And Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola is rescheduling several campaign events after getting hurt in a car crash. Her campaign says she and her family suffered minor injuries after another vehicle hit theirs. Peltola plans to resume her tour Tuesday. She's challenging Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. I'm Marianne Rafferty.
Now back to One Nation. Media moments that matter. Hi, time for everyone's favorite segment. I mean everyone. This week, I gave my only VCR, my TV guide, all my cords, and my tape stack too.
Raymond Arroyo is here, Foxies contributor extraordinaire. Raymond, you've seen this subject before. You know you have to give back the VCR. I know. Did you do your tape?
Well, it took me three hours to just unravel the cords. Could you please wrap them? I apologize.
Okay, Brian, the ladies of The View are confessing how Sunny Hostin's infamous. Question to Kamala Harris, you'll remember, during the last election, was not just a question but a gift. She asked, "What would you have done differently from Joe Biden?" We know how Harris responded to that one. Pay attention to the confession here. I thought it was a gift.
I thought I was looking at his numbers. His approval ratings were so low, and I thought she's got to distance herself from him, right? And I actually thought the answer was going to be, you know, we had a lot of wins in this administration. I was there for those wins, but I, as a woman of color, as a child of immigrants, as as I have a different lived experience. I was not expecting.
Not a single thing comes to mind. Yeah, I know you weren't expecting, but what a confession this is. They were advocates. They were supporters of a candidate. That's not our job, Brian.
We're to be advocates for the audience. Look, we know you go on the view if you're a Democrat. You're going to get propped up. She actually said it freely. She understands that people going to watch this.
Number two, do you know the same old talking points for Democrats? Oh, you're black. You're white. I I was born without parents. Whatever.
Point out some sad. Story that America has dealt you a bad hand. Yeah, but it became a, it did become a gift for the audience. It boomeranged because Kamala didn't come up with a good answer.
So, so, so, Raymond, the second topic you chose so interesting because so many celebrities get rolled out, especially with Democrats, and they think they're going to help that candidate. It never works. It's like the View ladies.
Well, Ben Affleck now says he felt used, and he used to be front and center each election season, but he soured on the process and the party. The actor has raised. Money from everybody, for everybody, from Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker. Not anymore. He told the podcast he's out of politics, and for good reasons.
I did not endorse actually Joe Biden. By the time Joe Biden ran, I I went on the campaign trip with John Kerry. I was with Al Gore in 1999 at the in Miami, and I was I raised the Democrat, a lifelong Democrat. My policies tend to to be sympathetic to to that particular party. Unfortunately, what happened to me was that I found myself kind of feeling like a prop, and also.
What I saw was the degree to which politics really was. I saw the disconnection between what people, the mask that they put on in front, and that who people really were, and that fundamentally it was about just like raising money. He said, "Wow, what did he think it was about?" I mean, you know, he he felt used by these candidates because he said I would support them, then they'd go off and do something else. Did he think they were calling Ben Affleck for foreign policy advice? No, you're a fundraising prop, but it's great—not only that he's recognizing this, Brian, but that others are recognizing it.
We don't want our actors and entertainers getting involved in politics. I do. It's so interesting because I remember when Al Gore—I remember him doing that—and I thought he was going to go the Bruce Springsteen route and said, "You know, Republicans are ruining the country," and he didn't. I think that's great, and it's smart as a business person. You bet.
They see the audience and where it's moving. He is—he's actually quite insightful. If you watch the whole interview, he's smart. The way he sees this, he he realizes it wasn't my lane. I probably shouldn't have been there.
You can have much more influence as an entertainer, as a creator, in your own lane. You can influence hearts and minds, not just voting blocks. And I saw the rundown. You chose as your third topic the WNBA, but not for the quality basketball.
Well, not for the quality basketball. I interviewed Vice President Vance this week on my Royal Grande podcast, and he reacted to the on. Going controversy of these WNBA players, even at the finals, walking off, walk off before during the national anthem or before it, he saw it at the. We saw it at the finals. Here is how the VP reacted.
What do you think of those WNBA players? Oh, I think it's disgraceful, Raymond. I think that you should not express some criticism of a public policy of a given politician by disrespecting the country writ large. They have a lot to be grateful to the United States for, and I think that if they had a bit more of a spirit of gratitude, they'd be happier people, and they wouldn't offend so many people as well. You know what I love about that?
He's right. The WNBA rules say they have to stand in a line in a dignified posture during the anthem. The men do by not enforcing the rules, Brian. They are neglecting the audience, neglecting the game, and I think disrespecting the country. And I'll tell you, even if I had a kid in the game, yeah, unless they said I would walk out.
If you're going to disrespect the country in the number one women's sports league in the world, I believe, and the success. They've had. Why are they so mad at America? This is not your moment to protest. Protest before and after the game.
Not on my dime, and not when I'm paying. I'm glad the VP. Yeah, their antics are the story once again. It's not basketball. Raymond's always great to see.
These were truly moments that matter. You are. Thank you very much. Can you kind of invented the format with Lord? I don't know about that.
So I'm honored that you came here.
Meanwhile, this story straight ahead. Will Republicans have redistricting regret come November 3rd? Karl Rove weighs in on the impact.
Next, more One Nation. Right after this. Don't move! I saw the run day. We have a lot more show.

The battlefield control of the House is playing out on a redrawn map, with Republicans and Democrats changing congressional district lines in a fight for every possible seat. It really occupied all of 2026 with these fights. In Texas, Republicans aim to pick up five seats to help protect their House majority, but some of those races are shaping up to be much tougher than they thought. Will the GOP's redistricting push deliver, or did Republicans overestimate their advantage? In the Lone Star State, joining us now, a man who knows everything.
Fox News contributor for me, deputy chief of staff, especially in Texas, and he's a fantastic columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Call Rove. Call. Great to see you. When this redistricting happened, Republicans hope to pick up five seats.
Roughly, what can they be certain of right now?
Well, they can be certain of a couple of seats. They're likely to end up with three. They could end up with four, but you know there was such enthusiasm. We've got five five seats, but these are you know these are difficult seats. Take the ninth district, which is to the east and northeast of Houston.
We have a terrific candidate, Alex Mueller. Almost got elected the county executive. We call it the county judge in Harris County, Houston, the biggest county in the state. Right.
Nearly won that two years ago, but the district. Let's be honest: thirty-four thousand people voted in the Democratic primary, thirty thousand people voted in the Republican primary, and the district is sixty-two percent. Non-white and virtually all Hispanic of that sixty-two percent.
So, you know, it's not easy territory. We've got a great candidate there. Similarly, in the thirty-fourth district, yeah, you're going against Tisha Gutierrez there, the Democrat. But just, Carl, and you really think the Hispanic vote has a lot to do because the president had over forty percent in the in the general, and now he seems to have lost. He's down to the thirties, and that's what's going to hurt that district race or make it more difficult, right?
Yeah, exactly. The thirty fourth, and then right to the west of it is a seat occupied by a Latina, a Tejano Republican, and that district is is being seriously contested by the Democrats who recruited a a you know Hispanic rock star named Padilla, and you know he's he's giving her a run for her money. And that is Bobby Padilla, right? And Monica against Monica De la Cruz. And Monica De La Cruz.
Monica De La Cruz. And you think she's in trouble?
Well, I don't want to say trouble. She's she's got a tough race on her hands. He's very popular, has been able to raise a lot of money, and it is a significantly, particularly in the southern part of the district, very Latino. Right.
And so, yeah, she's got a tough race on her hands. And you tell me about this matchup: Vicente Gonzalez, a Democrat, who sometimes you know can go across and vote with Republicans against Eric Flores.
Well, first of all, full of disclosure, I hosted a fundraiser for Eric Flores.
So you like him? He's a wonderful guy. I like him a lot. He's a military veteran. He's a criminal prosecutor in the U.S.
Attorney's Office. Not particularly political. You know, people encouraged him to to run, and he said, "I'm a Republican," and they said, "Great for you." So are we. But he's terrific, and and he's going to give Gonzalez a run for his money. I hope he wins.
But again. Again, this is a district that's historically Democrat, particularly in the southern part where it's Brownsville, Harlingen, Cameron County, and it goes north to to Corpus Christi. I know the territory well. I've got a hunting lease right in the middle of it in in Kennedy County, Texas, half the size of Rhode Island, and about 500 people live in the county.
So, it's it's a big sprawling district, and it's going to be a heck of a race. And he. Win or lose, he's he's got a future, right? But but it's too close to call right now. And then Henry Cuellar, who the president pardoned, and I think he thought he was going to be a Republican, but instead he gets challenged by Thomas Terero, and Cuellar looks like he's going to hold on to that seat.
Yeah, and look, this is an interesting race because the Quayar family has been around in South Texas politics around Laredo for decades. And the president, I think you're right, assumed that he would switch parties out of gratitude and run as a Republican, but he didn't. What who did switch parties was the county judge in in Laredo, Webb County, and he's a terrific individual. Tell me. People tell me he's done a great job as the county executive, but it's you know Cuellar is a very strong name and a very strong family ties throughout the district.
Yeah, the Cook Report has the ninth likely Republican, the twenty-eighth like lean Democrat, the thirty-second solid Republican, a toss-up in the race with your buddy, and a lean Republican in the thirty-fifth. And you mentioned the fifteenth is going to be tough.
So Texas is going to be a fight to the end. It's going to be a very small margin, setting up a lot of intrigue for twenty-eight. Rob, thanks for breaking it down for us. We truly appreciate it. You bet.
All the best. All right, Texas. Once again, showing it's this real country. Thanks, Carl Rove.
