The Harry Sisson Show - This is the end for him...

Episode Date: September 27, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down the shocking move Trump is making for the midterms.

This right here on your screen right now is the clearest sign yet that Donald Trump and the Republicans are in full-blown panic mode. They would have never expected to be in this position. And yet Donald Trump is now being forced to rush to deep red states as MAGA nose dives. Donald Trump is having to go to red states that normally Republicans would do very well in because their numbers are slipping. Trump, the man who has the biggest ego, is now kind of admitting that, yeah, the Republican Party is in trouble. He's not going to Pennsylvania. He's not going to Michigan. He's not going in these swing states.

He's going to deep red states. I want to break down this story for you because we just got a lot about this. And I want to talk about all of it. Please make sure to subscribe down below. Drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story. And also, I just turned 24 years old today. I'm now 24.

The only thing I ask of you is, of course, to support the show. But also check your registration. Get out there to vote this November. That's all I ask. Let's get into the story here, though. Donald Trump seems to be playing defense with his choice of midterm campaign stops in the coming weeks, he'll soon travel to states where Republicans are suddenly having to defend Senate seats. Next month, the 80-year-old president will travel to

four states where Republicans are supposed to be safe, but are suddenly facing competitive Senate races. You have Texas with James Tala Rico, who's doing very well. Alaska, Mary Peltola is doing very well, Iowa and Florida. Florida has Angie Nixon, of course, Rob Sand in Iowa, a couple of great candidates there as well. I mean, these are states that Donald Trump has won all three times. Every time he's been on the ballot, he is won. Now he's having to go to those states to campaign for their Senate candidates, and all of these states have Trump endorsed candidates. I think of Texas, for example, with Ken Paxton. Everybody in the Republican Party was saying Donald endorsed John Cornyn, the current incumbent who has been very successful in Texas. Why would you not endorse this

guy? He has a better chance of victory. Donald Trump says, no, we're going to go with Ken Paxton. We're going to go with this guy who's been impeached by his own party, a criminal, an alleged criminal. we're going to go with that guy. And now he's having to go to Texas to defend that Senate seat because the numbers are that bad. And that's just not a good sign. They're having to pour money into red states. In Texas, where a Democrat hasn't won statewide in three decades, James Taylor Rico leads Attorney General Ken Paxson 50% to 44%. A six point lead in Texas. That's how you know things are bad. In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola leads incumbent Dan Sullivan by four and five points, according to two polls released two weeks ago. Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turrick, who has Barack Obama's coveted endorsement, leads Ashley Hinson by eight points in a Marist poll conducted last week. I mean, look at these numbers. In Texas, you just couldn't imagine it, you know? In Florida, Trump's home state polls have favored the GOP, whose Senate and gubernatorial candidates held double-digit leads in the Stetson University survey this week. Next, Trump, next week, excuse me, Trump will make a very different kind of stop in deep red states that have not been a focus of Republicans' efforts to main. their slim majorities in Congress. He will appear in Oklahoma next Thursday. The Republican National Committee announced the next day he will stop in Mobile Alabama. Alabama he's campaigning in. Alabama. The Trump 47 Committee, the president's joint fundraiser with the RNC, is hosting each event. And this is the current balance of power in the Senate. Democrats only need to pick up a

couple of seats, three seats, four seats, maybe, if we want to get control of the Senate. And that is not out of reach looking at the current map and the numbers. And of course, the House representatives were looking better in. Each state widely backed by Trump in the last, or excuse me, each state widely backed Trump in the last three presidential elections, meaning the president is sure to revel in past victories. I'm sure he's going to get up on stage and say, well, I won this state by so much. I'm so great. Everybody loves me. It's not the truth. But the utility of stopping there ahead of the midterms is questionable, given how few, if any, races of importance are competitive. Those stops more look like emotional support rallies than

attempts to shore up vulnerable Republican candidates. Each state's Senate contest is rated, solid Republican. So are the gubernatorial races of the combined 12 house contests in both states. Ten are considered solid Republican. And that goes to show you just how bad of a spot the Republicans are in. And it's not just this point that Donald Trump is having to stop in deep red states. It's also what we learned in this brand new, pretty groundbreaking Wall Street Journal article that came out yesterday, including some new polling. Trump is predicting midterm success, but Republicans are starting to panic. Here's why. Here's what this article says. Number one, Donald Trump's approval rating is at 60.

excuse me, 37%. His disapproval rating is at 61%. It's the lowest of his second term. It's the lowest for a president going into the midterms for a while, which we'll talk about in just a second. But look at this development over time. Going from 52% when Donald Trump was first elected in and around that time, where when he was first announcing his campaign and running for office, then he got elected, and now he's at 37%. It went from 52% approval to 37% approval in not that long of a time. And Donald Trump historically is in such a bad position. Going back to presidents, George H.W. Bush Onward to Donald Trump, he has the lowest approval rating in recent history going into a midterm election. Lowest approval rating for a president going into a midterm election. That includes

George W. Bush. That includes Bush Sr. That includes Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden. Donald Trump is lower than all of these different presidents. And an interesting part of this article that inside the White House, the mood has been grim. Some Trump allies have tried to convey to the president, how bad the midterm environment is for Republicans, but Trump has at times cut off those conversations, which is kind of in line with what he said publicly. Like, you know, the Republicans are doing great. We're going to win so well and everybody loves us, which in order to believe that, you'd have to be living in a bubble. You'd have to be completely delusional about how Americans feel, which kind of seems like that might be the case with Donald Trump. And part of the reason that he's

going to these deep red states to campaign, like Alabama, Texas, Alaska, where now they're having to play a lot of defense, is because he understands. what's going to come next when, hopefully, knock on wood here, Democrats win the midterms. It's going to be a lot of investigations. Rightly so, because we need answers. We need answers on the crimes. We need answers on the corruption. Donald Trump, for the past couple of years, has been acting with impunity that he could

just do anything he wants and nobody's going to ask any questions. We have questions. The American people have questions, and he's nervous about that because Democrats are planning some vast oversight of the Trump administration. Of course, impeachment is an option. Some of the top investigation topics we're looking into, the Democratic Party, And Congress is looking into are the Epstein files, are the corruption? Those are like the main ones we're thinking about right now, which is a good start, a good approach when you're thinking about this

administration. There's got to be subpoenas and house hearings day one. I want Donald Trump, Jr., the Trump family subpoena day one. I want them in a committee under oath answering some questions. And you know that Donald Trump is panicked because you can just look at his social media feed. He's nervous about this. He's nervous about losing. Look at his social media feed. In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump has posted over 26 campaign ads, 26 in 24 hours. That's more than an ad, an hour from Donald Trump. Here are some examples. You have this one.

I'm not going to play them for you because, quite frankly, I would rather do anything else than watch Trump campaign ads. That's just me personally. Here's one. Here's another of him in Melania going all the way back to Trump 1.0, his first term. Here's another. Never give up. A campaign out of Donald Trump.

Here's more. I mean, there's just so many different campaign ads that he's been posting online. It's very, very weird. Like who is making these ads? Who is telling him to post these online? Of course, he also had that recent scandal where he ran this ad. It's like his new anti-communist ad where he says, we will never be a communist country. And then at the bottom of the ad at one point, you can see it says paid for by the U.S.

government, right behind that line? Paid for by the U.S. government. So our tax dollars paid for that. You and me, we paid for Donald Trump to run this campaign out on Fox News, which is illegal in like a million different ways. But that's what Donald Trump is doing, using our money to campaign, which I think is especially gross. And it's gotten so bad that not only is Donald Trump campaigning in red states, not

only is he posting campaign ads like every hour on social media, but now the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, is campaigning for Republicans. They just released this new video. He delivered this thinly veiled campaign message to U.S. service members, ordering them to vote in the midterms to overwhelm blue cities like Milwaukee and Detroit, saying keep our nation the land of the free. Weird coming from the Secretary of the Department of Defense. 300,000. That's how many of our warriors were not registered to vote, according to studies of the 2024 election. That's more than the ballots cast in cities.

like Detroit, Boston, Milwaukee, or Seattle. As you know, the War Department exists to protect our nation and her freedoms. That includes the freedom to decide who leads us and the right to vote. It's why General George Washington crossed the Delaware River 250 years ago, for our right to determine our own American destiny. Regardless of your home state or current duty status, you can use a standardized federal postcard to register and request a ballot. And if you're forward deployed and your standard ballot is delayed, you can use the federal write-in absentee ballot. All of these processes are

straightforward and protected by law. It's just crazy that he's like, you know, you should be able to choose your elected official, which I completely agree with. But shouldn't he be saying that to Donald Trump, the guy who tried to overturn the 2020 election? I mean, that feels like, you know, kind of contradictory to this message of you should be able to choose your elected officials, and you should do that, which I agree with. That's great. You should be able to choose your elected officials. Why don't you go tell your boss that, numb nuts? You know, these guys are weirdos, man, but they're in a bad spot and they know it. The numbers show it. Their actions show it. Their social media posts show it. Their weird campaign ads filled in the Pentagon or the Department of Defense

show it. It's very weird. So look, I will leave the video there. I just wanted to talk about all of this with you folks. You can let me know in the comments what you think.
