“ore perfect than any sort of idea of a Republican or Democrat could. And you've been really active there. Yeah. [SPEAKER_13] Yeah. You mentioned earlier having to make tough decisions. Well, this was the easiest decision we made across the map, which was to go in big and go in early for Susan Collins. She's an institution. She's the only Republican that represents a New England state. And we were just grateful that she decided to run again. And she's done an incredible job. And that allowed us to make an early decision back in January to put in $42 million. It's since gone up out of SLF. [00:39:30.450”

“ollins' Biddeford office. And it's spray painted in red. On the left it says Trump. And on the right it says whore. [SPEAKER_08] Trump whore. I regret to inform you, dear listeners, that the tolerant American left is at it again. The tolerant and nonviolent American left is at it again. Susan Collins has been the most bipartisan, down-the-middle United States senator in Washington. [SPEAKER_08] Sometimes she votes with Trump. Sometimes she votes against him. When a Democrat was in office, sometimes she voted with them. Sometimes she voted against them. Bipartisan. If it”

“nson, who was just in Pennsylvania last week, I had a chance to look at him. That's a chance for a real pickup for Republicans as well. He's running a great campaign and the polling looks really favorable. We're in a number of dogfights across the country. Two very good friends of mine that I have huge admiration for. Susan Collins, nobody's tougher. [SPEAKER_10] She's running a great race in Maine. And again, you have a socialist candidate. That's the contrast. And Dan Sullivan. And Dan Sullivan is a Marine, a great American, two term senator, done great things for Alaska. And what you see there is t”

“uld be as helpful to someone like a Susan Collins. She's running a tight race, but I think she ultimately is going to prevail when you compare her as a titan, a political titan, that is, to someone like Troy Jackson who doesn't have, Jake, a lot of political victories or legislative successes in his career compared to Susan Collins where she's co-sponsored over 6,000 pieces of legislation, sponsored 1,200 pieces of legislation. 55 have actually become law. [SPEAKER_24] That is the type of leader, I would argue, that many voters, including those in Maine, want to send back to Washington. [00:35:31.820”

“Have you seen anything in the debates that tells you which way the wind is blowing up there? [SPEAKER_03] You know, what it tells me is that everything that the polls are saying is accurate there. It's a toss-up. But in this environment, that's an incredibly strong vote of confidence in Susan Collins. I mean, this is a woman who's been there for over 30 years, and she's still got her A-game going. I mean, she and Chuck Grassley ought to co-author or co-create anti-aging medication and sell it. I'll buy it in a minute. [SPEAKER_12] Henry Olson, final question here. You t”

Most critical quotes

“from the same state who produced Margaret Chase Smith, which is incredible. Margaret Chase Smith, in a dangerous time for the country, was a person of principle who said this. Read these words. They matter. Hear them. [SPEAKER_14] Because they embody the exact, complete opposite of what Susan Collins is. She's a kneeling, MAGA sycophant who appeased a fascist for power, who sold out her people, her state, her country, and betrayed her oath, [SPEAKER_14] and is addicted to her Senate seat like a junkie in the street. What an embarrassment she was last night. Good God. I”

“:35.270 --> 00:02:42.010] [SPEAKER_03] Listen to Biggest Rivalries of All Time on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [SPEAKER_14] She said she doesn't feel like she was lied to by Kavanaugh. And that, for once, from the hand-wringing, letter-writing Susan Collins, is the truth. Because she was in on the lie. This is the warning. [SPEAKER_14] MAGA is collapsing politically all over the country, but in Maine, Susan Collins has offered them their battle cry. And it has resounded from west to east, from north to south. Let them eat rock”

“ampaign about Susan Collins in another scandal. [SPEAKER_08] As a retired junior high teacher, I'm horrified. Susan Collins voted to cover up the Epstein files. She knew 14-year-old girls were raped. Turns out that Jeffrey Epstein's business partner funneled $3 million to her super PAC. Susan Collins took the money and protected child predators. Troy Jackson cracked down on child sex trafficking. We can trust Troy. [SPEAKER_08] Winston is responsible for the content of this ad. [SPEAKER_05] So, with all that in the play, there has been a”

“that like the Washington Post might not give it the attention it deserves, I don't think it's as significant as a fact that this actually... I think it can break through in Maine. [SPEAKER_05] Here is another thing that is breaking through in Maine. This is Troy Jackson's campaign about Susan Collins in another scandal. [SPEAKER_08] As a retired junior high teacher, I'm horrified. Susan Collins voted to cover up the Epstein files. She knew 14-year-old girls were raped.

If you aren't subscribing and supporting supporting them, you need to do this. They have this reporting and I covered it here on my channel earlier today. Susan Collins allegedly being a part of this bribery pay-to-play scheme that was outrageous. getting hundreds of thousands of dollars and in exchange diverting in what's supposed to be a competitive bid process millions of dollars of defense contracts to this company in Hawaii. This tiny little company in Hawaii. That”
