Hey, it's Drew Franklin from NFL Covers Zero. The 2026 season is underway, and we are loving football on TV. Here's what you can expect from the podcast in our second season. I would suggest for these preseason games, I think they should do what they do on the NFL draft. You know, when coverage of the NFL draft is basically for moms.
And they're just like, hey, he has a dog named Spark. Listen to NFL Covers Zero on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Thanks to all of you for being with us, write down our toll free telephone number. You wanna be a part of the program. It is 80941, Sean, you wanna join us?
Linda T and Honey is actually working. Can you believe, my voice is better today, right? A lot better. I think you should be honest and not start your show lying and not including whiskey in your recipe. Everybody knows you at whiskey.
No, I don't like whiskey. I know I'm supposed to like whiskey. I'm Irish. I don't like Irish whiskey. I don't.
I don't like it either, but it works. Well, what's the difference between that and Tito's? Is Tito's work? No, Tito's is fine, but it doesn't make it throw better. You never tried a hot toddy with Tito's vodka.
I guess if I'm being honest, and not Tito's would definitely make my throw better. Probably make everything feel better actually. It's a very different. Anyway, I'm glad you're with us 20 days to go. I'm getting two reactions from people.
Probably the most dominant reaction is people are afraid of what's coming. I think fear is a healthy emotion to have. I'm never confident in election results until the votes are counted. And Fox News declares that my side won. I've had disappointing races in my life.
I don't like the feeling, but I'm not going to claim that I'm going to run out of the country if the Democratic radicals win. I'm just going to try in these 20 days to create and for people to understand the stakes of what's going on here. This radicalized Democratic Party is a clear and present danger to our way of life. And I'm just hoping that Americans fully completely understand what is on the ballot here. If you want one group of people that will be the dominant voice within the Democratic Party that want to eliminate the Senate, your ability to choose a president that wants to pack the courts, wants to abolish borders, amnesty for illegals, abolish highest defund the Department of War, end-all deportation, eliminate cash bail, abolish prisons and police, public ownership of corporations, massive new taxes, because it will cost $212 trillion for the Green New Deal, which is cradle to grave wounds to the tomb promises that will never ever be fulfilled.
Then you're going to find the urgency to get out, be motivated and vote. Now we are in the crazy days of a campaign and the new strategy. Again, I pointed it out when it first happened. And that's when AOC went on one of the Sunday programs and said, no, no, no, I don't believe in that anymore. That was Woke 1.0 crazy.
That was the signal to all these DSA candidates that support exactly what I just told you for them to start to pull back from their radical positions. I'll give you the latest example, a new campaign at you have Six Gender, God is Nonbinary, welcome Matt at the border, Talafrico, biological men playing team, women's sports, Talafrico. Now, according to KNews, he has now released a television ad criticizing former presidential Biden's border policies and standing in front of the Texas flag, he said that he will always put Texas before any political party and he cites it, quote, his criticism of Biden's border policies and says he worked with Republicans to pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history.
Now, he has now been making these arguments more and more and Republicans now going back and looking and when did he first criticize Biden? Fox News Digital did a deep dive into this. They reported his campaign could not identify a single break, not one with Biden on the issue of borders. But he did say he wants a welcome mat at the border. This is the same with El Syed, El Syed best friends with Hassan Piker, doesn't want to now, he just refers to Hassan Piker as a California streamer, but he's one that he invited multiple times on the campaign trail and was best friends with and been on a show a bunch and now he wants nothing to do with him.
And this is now a strategy that is based on polling and a strategy that is emerged, which is we can't let people know who we really are because if the people in Texas find out this guy is running a vegan campaign in a cattle state, doesn't want any drilling in an oil state, wants to welcome Matt at the border that he's lying about criticizing Joe Biden, that he believes it based on biblical grounds, that there are six genders, not two genders, and God is non-binary, then he's your guy. And I just don't believe in the end that Texas will vote that way. It's closer than I would like, but there's a lot of things that are closer than I would like to have happen.
You have an undocumented illegal accused of repeatedly stabbing an off-duty NYPD detector during a bunch robbery in the Bronx. Well, I did it to eat, that's what they're saying. But again, we would probably find a way to find amnesty for this guy because that's what the Democrats now, the power structure, you can even say, the new establishment of the Democratic Party is the DSA. So we've got a lot to pay attention to. Now, let me just run through what I am watching and discussions that I am having and sources that I am having.
I don't trust the polling. If you go and look historically at all of these people that are being quoted all over the news media, then I would urge all of you to use, if you have AI, I have GRC, I want you to just ask the question, what is their track record in past elections? Because it's usually atrocious. There is a reason that we only have a few pollsters on this show because these pollsters have proven themselves, especially in the era of Trump, of being able to accurately survey the right sample of people and nail Trump and Trump voters. A lot of Trump voters, they don't want to talk to any pollster.
They're not gonna pick up a phone and they're not gonna answer 15 questions or 100 questions, whatever it happens to be. But the people that have been consistently on target have been Matt Towery, Insider Advantage, who was on the show yesterday. Robert Cahaly, Trafalgar, John McLachlan, McLachlan and Associates. Rasmussen has done very well over the years historically. So everyone else and all their predictions and the Cook Report guy and the Larry Sabato and all these people, I look at their track records and they're not impressive to me.
Nate Silver, not particularly impressive to me. He had one big call and it wasn't even really, I mean, in retrospect, if you look at where the economy was, et cetera, John McCain's campaign, it was pretty easy to see that there was gonna be a way for Barack Obama, hope and change. There was no real vetting, you know, with the exception of this show. You know, we're the ones that spend time looking into what a community organizer is and what Acorn is and who Saul Alinsky is and the Chum Gang and Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, we did deep dives and nobody wanted to pay attention to it, but it did annoy the hell out of Obama because he kept attacking me by name and did not like me very much.
Now, this is not a bad thing when I'm about to tell you. There has been an analysis of early voting in Michigan. Now, historically, Democrats get most of their votes, a greater percentage by far of their votes in early voting. There's been an analysis of the Michigan Senate race and you can't tell exactly who people voted for, but it's pretty, you look at party affiliation and considering where we are in this process, it is a neck and neck race with only like a 4,000 Democratic led voting early vote number ahead of Mike Rogers, which is, if that is true, I view that as a win for Mike Rogers because Republicans tend to vote day off.
By the way, Abdul Al-Sayed, you know, has been caught now in numerous lies, not the least of which was his lie that neither me or my family member are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and then of course we chronicled yesterday and we went all over it on TV last night that his very own sister, in fact, bragged often on social media about the family's close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. In several radio interviews in 2020, we've now discovered Abdul Al-Sayed repeatedly called for defunding the police, but he has been saying on the campaign trail that his comments were taken out of context. In recent interviews, Al-Sayed insisted they never ever called for defunding the police.
Last July, in an interview on fake news CNN, he confessed that he deleted old tweets supporting the movement because they were taken out of context and calling them clickbait in DC. It's not clickbait. Interviews from 2020 now show Al-Sayed repeatedly endorsing defunding the police. Quote, we do need to defund the police in exact quote, he said in a 2020 radio interview, while specifically discussing how the slogan could undermine criminal justice reform efforts. Al-Sayed's interviews from 2020, 2021 show him embracing the entire defund the police movement, not just uttering the phrase, but supporting the key principle of reinvesting funds from the police into other public sector spaces like mental health, anti-poverty.
I mean, this is the insanity. What are we gonna bring in the social workers if somebody's, you know, has it got a gun in a subway or a bus somewhere? Anyway, the exact quote in 2020 on Detroit Public Radio, quote, I believe that we do need to defund the police in so far as defunding the police is disinvesting in the means of incarcerating someone or killing them on the streets, he added, and investing more in the means of educating and powering, who would be spent more per capita on education than any industrialized country. And by the way, Fox News poll, July 2020 showed 82% of surveyed Michigan registered voters had a favorable view of their local police department. Oh, excuse me, only 20% support defunding the police, which is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever had.
So the question I'm being asked the most when I meet people in my day-to-day life, which is often, although I am fairly reclusive, but when I go out, especially on weekends, Linda, what is the number one question when people know you work with me, what is the number one question you get? Does he look like that in real life? That's not the number one question you get. How tall is he? Yeah, how tall is he?
Well, that's what people say to me. And then he looks on TV. That's what they say to me. He's younger in person, taller in person, and skinnier in person. That's what I get from people.
Some people ask me if you actually vape, or was that just like a stupid story? I'm like, no, he vapes. He is old, short, and fat. I can say that because Trump says the fat shot. And a smoker.
Oh, I'm not a smoker. I'm a smoker. Occasionally. I mostly switch to the gum. Oh my gosh.
You know what you do? You ask me what they asked, I'm telling you. You drink moonshine. So there, give it up. I wish that I drank moonshine.
Then I wouldn't have to deal with you to the USA. I did not drink moonshine. I do not drink moonshine. I do have a big bottle next to you. They were a gift from a listener.
And did you drink that gift or no? I did not. Here's the question I'd be asked for. I have a very particular taste. Here's the question I get asked most often.
You know, our Republicans going to lose in the election. Who's going to win? Who's going to win? And here's my answer. Every one of you listening to my voice will play a part in what the outcome is.
If you all commit your heart, mind, and soul that you're going to vote, that this is important, that this group of radicals that wants to shred the Constitution has no business being in power, then you can prevent that from happening. And if you want to prevent these radical DSA people from getting in power, you have the power to do it. And I'm talking specifically, if you look at the Senate race, that would include Maine and New Hampshire and Georgia, North Carolina, that would include Michigan, that would include Iowa, that would include Ohio, that would include Texas, that would include even Kansas and Nebraska. We're told there were close races there. Please do not take for granted that any one election or one seat doesn't matter.
It does. The state of Alaska, very important. The president was there last night. So my point to you is this. You will determine how this election turns out.
In the end, we get the government we deserve. And if you're looking for perfection, well, if you don't like certain candidates, I don't blame you, I don't like some of them either. However, they're not DSA supporters. And stopping them right now is the most important priority we should all have. Every Canadian deserves a place to call home.
That's why we created Build Canada Homes. We're using new technology to build more efficiently, unlocking government land to build in more places and cutting red tape to get more projects started. We're building more affordable homes faster because a more affordable Canada is a stronger Canada. Learn more at Canada.ca slash building homes, a message from the government of Canada.

Hey, it's Drew Franklin from NFL Cover Zero. Enjoy the NFL season while listening to NFL Cover Zero. We have storylines, predictions and lots of silliness. Here's what you can expect from the podcast in our second season. When you meet people and you say your job's a sports announcer, it's always interesting to see what the first thing they say is.
I did have one of the more difficult questions though. He sits next to me and he sees I'm on my computer and he goes, we can sports fan. And I was like, yeah, actually. And he goes, we didn't have my Jaguars this year. I realized like, no one's ever asked me that question ever about anything.
And I was like, duh, duh. Listen to NFL Cover Zero on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. The World Cup is over. You caught the soccer bug and aren't sure what to do now. Check out our podcast, Big Kick Energy.
I'm Cameron Dicker, the kicker from the Los Angeles Chargers, most accurate kicker in NFL history. But I was raised on the soccer pitches of Shanghai. And I'm here with Timmy Tillman, LAFC star, grew up in the academies of Germany and now under the bright lights of Major League Soccer. So we know a little something about kicking balls. Maybe you're new to the game or you're ready to take your passion to the next level.
Each week we'll tackle things like, who's winning the Premier League this year? Playing like a number 10. Do you know what that means? Then we go over to France. Li-gung.
Li-on. Li-gung. He goes more. What do you think is harder? He's throwing a penalty kick or scoring a field goal.
He's in NFL and I'm like, just a big back-eyed. I'm not the straight-up dude. Join us each week for a quick chat with your soccer-loving girls about the best sport in the world. Soccer, just don't tell my coaches I said that. Listen to Big Kick Energy on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to podcast.
A shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. Someone opened the door and was the primary shooter. It's a positive you could do that and then suppress the memory. A new podcast series, Fault in Haditha, tells the story the United States government wants to keep buried. How can you not know if there were women and children in there?
Can you tell us here that you don't know what happened that day? Based on thousands of pages of previously classified documents and over 100 hours of secretly filmed video, the truth about one of the most infamous crimes in Marine Corps history can finally be told. If you've got five players and one of them is guilty of murder at least, and you offer immunity to the other four, you better be right about the fed, because if you're not, then you're just giving immunity to your color. Listen to Fault Line Haditha on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Anyway, Republicans, there's one thing that kind of surprised me.
And Matt, Matt Howery said one thing that was good yesterday said that a lot of older people, people that have been through, let's say World War II have watched communism fail their whole lives, he's calling it a what do you call it yesterday? When the silver factor or the silver? Oh, yeah, the silver, the silver crew. No, I didn't call it a crew. We called it the I don't know.
They are voting in large numbers. I'll tell you why I think they are. They're voting because they've seen this movie before. They're voting because they know what's at stake here. They're voting because they're paying attention.
Now, I say that through the prism of what I'm about to tell you, which is there is a stunning number of young Americans that have a favorable view of Sharia law. Now, we pointed out, for example, that what is it? 60% of Democrats think that socialism is a good thing. That is pretty brightening. That is pretty scary.
But according to this media piece in the AP, a huge chunk of young Americans are giving Sharia law a thumbs up. This is a Rasmussen report. And they found 43% of citizens, young people, between the ages of 18 and 24, have a positive view of Sharia law. How is that even possible? You know what this is a direct result of?
We talk a lot about the failure of our educational system. And that is the great irony. If you want to look at what government does efficiently, look at Obamacare, look at the Social Security Lockbox, and look at how much money we spend for capita per student on education, more than any industrialized country in the world, and we have the worst results. I mean, that's what big government gets you. So the kids, probably, I bet you if you gave most kids a map and you asked them just to name the continents, they couldn't do it.
I guarantee you if you asked them about Sharia law, what they know about it would be absolutely chilling how little they know. If you look at people age 25 to 29, 39% say they have a mostly positive or somewhat positive view of Sharia. As a matter of fact, Sharia is more like than disliked among young Americans. As the survey found 36% of respondents 18 to 24, 25 to 29 said they had a negative view of it. That is, wow.
Some commentator recently, I don't remember who made the statement that well, Sharia countries are a lot safer than American countries. I'm like, why don't you move there? Why don't you go live in the safe country that you're praising? It's kind of like Abdul El-Sayed making the statement that well, I feel, I love the people in Egypt more than even America. I'm like, okay, go live in Egypt.
No wonder why this issue with the Muslim Brotherhood came up. And then he claimed another point that he had dual citizenship here. If you're worried why young people are buying into radical socialism and even have a positive view of Sharia law, you have to go right back to big government that has failed them in terms of educating them. In a lot of countries with Sharia, women are oppressed. In countries, some of them, not all of them, with Sharia law, a man can say, I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you three times and it's over.
Linda, I only have to say you're fired one time and you're done. All right, I'll stay I quit. You'll stay I'm fired and we'll keep it moving. By the way, it's Silverwave. I know the Silverwave, that's it.
And there was a Fox News.com article that socialism, socialism looks appealing when schools refuse to teach its horrific real world cost. Now, 62% of Americans under 30 view socialism favorably. Now they're viewing Sharia law and socialism favorably. How is that possible? Senator John Kennedy, one of our favorite senators from Louisiana discusses the clash with the Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Siya on the campaign trail and Kennedy's warning about this rising socialist threat to free markets, discussing the massive projected costs of Medicare for all, which by the way will fail.
You see in Great Britain, the National Health Services is a disaster. You see that single payer in Canada is a disaster. And then when you get down the road and if you take this to its ultimate conclusion, which is this green new deal that they want in place and open borders, which they want in place and no police, which they want in place. And if you ever get to that point, we have we have basically shredded the Constitution. And this is all a first step.
I have been making the case on the show and on TV that Europe, Western Europe is disintegrating before our eyes. I don't even have much hope that there can be a reversal. And for for specific reasons, they have abandoned national security and national defense. They have abandoned it as individual countries and collectively as a continent. And as a result, they are not prepared to deal with the likes of Vladimir Putin, which is why it's kind of bewildering that they don't even want to pay their fair share of NATO because the only way that they would be protected in the end would be the might of the United States military.
And I think Donald Trump's patience is running thin with everybody in NATO and everybody in Western Europe. They didn't even have the moral clarity to stand with America and taking out Iran's nuclear sites, which by the way, if you're worried about the Strait of Hormuz now, if they had nuclear weapons, they would control that in perpetuity. It'd be very dangerous. Then I would say that, and again, we see this push in this country and you see it really coming to light as it relates to the election in terms of the same agenda. I mean, radical socialism has taken over most of Europe.
And with it, all the predictable failures that you see, I'll start with Great Britain, I'll start with France. And then you can spread it around most of Europe and you see that these countries, their socialist experiments are failing. They've adopted climate alarmism and given up their sovereignty, even to the case of relying on their, quote, arch enemy, Vladimir Putin for a lot of their energy needs, because their promises of green energy never came to fruition and they spent trillions and trillions of dollars trying to transition off of oil, gas and coal, which is the lifeblood of the world's economy. And then they realized it's not working. And rather than becoming independent themselves, they've been going to people that they look at as geopolitical foes, it's insane.
So climate alarmism, socialism, a lack of attention to national security and defense issues. And the worst thing that they have done is unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. Now, we began to see what happened here in this country, when Joe Biden allowed in 12 plus million unfettered illegal immigrants. If Kamala Harris had won the last election, those borders would have been remained wide open. And in other words, we were that close to going down the path of Western Europe.
Probably Western Europe is 10 to 15 years ahead of where radical socialists would take us. They would push their socialism upon us, their climate alarmism upon us. They want to defund the Department of War. We would not pay attention to national security and national defense. And it would be an unmitigated disaster.
Socialism, climate alarmism, unfettered illegal immigration, no paying, no attention to defenses, is it just is an absolute prescription for a disaster. And unfortunately, we better learn a lesson here. And the lesson is, is that these Western European countries used to be thriving. They are not thriving anymore. I never thought we'd have Sharia courts in Great Britain, but we do, nearly a hundred of them.
I never thought there'd be no go zones all throughout Europe, especially in France, but we have them. I never thought that the people would buy into all of these insane arguments. These arguments now are being made by the Democratic Party, vis-à-vis the Democratic Socialists of America. They are saying unequivocally that the bad path that was chosen by Western Europe, by NATO countries, is the exact same one that they would choose for this country. To do so, we would give up all liberty, all freedom, the notion that we are endowed by God, we have natural rights, and that governments instituted by men to protect those rights.
That would all go out the window. But with all that said, I'm saying, if you are in Maine, if you are in New Hampshire, if you're in North Carolina, if you are in Georgia, if you are in Michigan, obviously, if you're in Texas, obviously, if you are in the Buckeye State of Ohio, please pay attention. Sherrod Brown is an extension of, just like John Ossoff will be, and Roy Cooper will be, and Lunatic Troy Jackson would be, and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan would be, a complimentary, an extension of all things, the squad, because that is the intellectual power base.
Now, with the Democratic Party, this is what's on the ballot. And I'm saying to people in these states, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, I'm telling people in Texas, obviously, Kansas, Nebraska, Alaska, that in these Senate races in particular, that this is where they will take the party. This is what's on the ballot. This is what we've all got to pay attention to. And the good news is, is we've got 20 days.
Now, I don't know why some people think that I am saying, not to vote early. I'm not against voting early. I'm against it. The system I prefer, no early voting. If I had my way, we'd have, you know, proof of citizenship, voter ID.
I'd get rid of most early voting with exceptions for the infirm, the elderly, the military, obviously. And I would make a day of voting, make it a national holiday, give people off, but also voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers, watching the voting all day, the vote counting all night, and paper ballots. That's what I would want. But it's not the system we have. And my first argument to everybody is, well, we still won in 2024, even though we didn't have the Save Act, which I wish they would have passed.
But we'll come back, we'll fight another day. They have passed aspects up in the House and the Senate, but not everything that I think would give us integrity in our elections and confidence in our election results, which everybody would think want, but the Democrats don't want. Why would they be against proof of citizenship? Why would they be against voter ID? Why would they be against signature verification?
Why would they not want the most? Why would they be against paper ballots? I mean, it's easiest to count anyway. I believe that whoever was in that room and did that was murder. A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story of a shocking crime and a coverup at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps.
If you've got five players and you offer a unity to four, you better be right about the fifth, because if you're not, then you're just giving them unity to your color.
