Speaker 1: In Pennsylvania, a disgusting man has been nominated by Republicans to potentially
be the next governor of Pennsylvania. And sadly, it is a man named Doug Mastriano,
who, if given the opportunity in 2024 to steal Pennsylvania for the eventual Republican
presidential nominee, he would do it. There are two choices in Pennsylvania for governor. There's
Doug Mastriano, who is a big lie promulgate here and a guy who would do all the things
Trump wanted governors to do for him in 2020. And then you've got Democratic nominee Josh SHAPIRO.
There's not that much to say about Josh SHAPIRO. He's a completely standard. Milk toast. And I
don't say that in a pejorative, just he's just a normal Democrat who wouldn't do anything crazy.
He wouldn't try to steal an election. And that's pretty damn good right now because of
what the Republican Party has become. And now to add on to the absurdity of Doug Mastriano,
it turns out that Doug Mastriano once donned a Confederate uniform, Confederate uniform, while
he was in the military. And as a result, more and more Republicans are endorsing his Democratic
opponent, Josh SHAPIRO. Business Insider reports seven more Republican leaders endorse Democrat
Josh SHAPIRO for Pennsylvania governor, following news of Mastriano wearing a Confederate military
uniform. Seven more Republicans have announced their endorsement for Democrat Josh SHAPIRO one
month after nine Republicans called his Republican opponent dogmatic. Doug Mastriano an extremist.
A photo obtained by Reuters showed Mastriano posing in a Confederate military uniform.
This is the picture which we're putting up on the screen for you here. And it is completely vile.
This is a picture from 2014. It was taken while then State Senator Doug Mastriano was part of
the faculty at the U.S. Army War College. Faculty members were permitted to pose for the photo while
dressed as historical figures, and Mastriano chose a Confederate, a Confederate uniform,
and now is losing the support of at least a number of Republicans. So, you know, we can talk
all day about the Confederate uniform. We can say, well, you know, it's it is a historical
reality that there were Confederate soldiers. And so it's not necessarily reflective of his poverty.
Right. I'm an idiot. I sound like an idiot when I try to try to say this.
Okay. The fact that he is wearing the uniform alone doesn't mean Doug Mastriano wishes we could
bring back the enslaving of black people. I'm not saying that, but this is all part of a picture,
right? This is all part of the bigger picture about Doug Mastriano and who he is.
Big lie, conspiracy theorist, unhinged number one. Secondly, has this campaign adviser who is
overtly as anti-Semitic as anyone I've ever heard of, sort of, you know. Right. I mean,
World War Two era German leaders said that Jews don't even have a place in the Republican Party,
even if they're conservative. Disgusting. Right. And then Mastriano wears a Confederate uniform.
So we're building up a picture that is based on a number of different pillars, and they're all
disgusting, rotting pillars covered in pond scum. So it would be great. On the one hand,
if the more moderate establishment Republicans jumped ship from these disgusting MAGA people,
that's a good thing because we want the MAGA people to lose. On the other hand,
if it goes too far, those very moderate Republicans might end up running as Democrats
and it could end up moving the Democratic Party to the right, which we also don't want. We want the
Democratic Party moving to the left. And so that's a consideration and that's a concern as well. But
it's really important. Really important. I mean, Pennsylvania is one of the most important states.
And, you know, I'm not saying some states don't matter, but, you know, Wyoming, even though Liz
Cheney lost her primary, that's going to be a Republican member of Congress. Either way, Wyoming
is not going to be the difference maker over the next two years in the United States. On the other
hand, look at Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a state on which control of the Senate could hinge,
meaning that the Oz versus Fetterman race is extraordinarily important.
And Pennsylvania is a state on which the 2024 presidential election could hinge,
and thus having a governor in Pennsylvania who won't try to steal the state's electors.
For the candidate that didn't win, that's an important thing. And so that's why we need Josh
SHAPIRO to be the next governor of Pennsylvania, not Doug Mastriano, who is just absolutely and
completely vile. So. If you're if you live in Pennsylvania, of course, you should vote in both
of those elections. But no matter where you live, you can phone bank and you can donate in those two
races. And they are very, very important races are just Mastriano is disgusting. He's really
the worst of the worst of maggot politics and hopefully we can defeat him in November
and then he just goes away. Today is the David Pakman show member Town Hall. The day
