1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: It's clear state representative leave the Republican Party to run. Uh,

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: we're going to resign at the at the end of

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: his term run for mayor of mw Albany as independent CID.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't like necessarily direction the Republican Party is going

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: these days, blah blah blah. So michelip has let me

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: ask you, are you happy with the direction of Republican

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: parties going these days?

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm happy with the direction that it's going,

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: but I think we can go further, which is I mean,

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: that's I think that is very important that we get

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: things done when we have full control. But the real

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: question is what happens to MAGA if you will, after

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: Trump leaves, Like, who's going to be that person? Or

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: are we going to now see a fractured Republican Party

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: where you see the MAGA people and then the actual

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: you know, the Conservatives so to speak.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: I mean like Democrats after Barack Obama?

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Yes, who's next? Right? Like? Is that a JD. Vance?

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: JD Vance doesn't have I mean, he's fiery. I do

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: like JD. But he's not Donald Trump, neither's Rubio, neither's

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: the Santas.

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, jd Vance and Ted Cruz are

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: about to start getting into it now.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: So like who's next? So when you see you know,

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green leave and these people start leaving, yeah,

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: my ears perk up a little bit and go, no,

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: what's going on?

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Because the one thing I was noticed is anytime

29
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: you build a movement around of personality, you're gonna have

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: these related issues. It happened when Reagan left office in

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: eighty eight, the question was who's gonna inherit the Reagan mantle?

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: When Clinton left in two thousand was like who's gonna

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: get the Who's gonna get the Clinton Mantle? This what

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: happens when you build your politics around the cult of personality,

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Like this person is not going to be here forever,

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: and when this person leaves you, then what's next. It's

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: kind of like when Mitch Daniels was governor of Indiana.

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: When Mitch left, is like, okay, now who's gonna take

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: over the who's gonna take over and run the show?

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: You have all these sort of Daniels light type people

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: kind of kind of flowing through here. Even though Hulkan

42
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: was my favorite favorite former governor, Even though I know

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Hulk is a kind of a dirty word around. He

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: loved Eric like my brother, and do not apologize for

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: it because I'm the establishment guard start it.

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you you are the establishment also, like I,

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: I came up with a new term for Eric Holcomb

48
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: that only really applies to Mitt Romney, and it's trans Republican.

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: You identify as Republican, but brother, you're really a Democrat.

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: That's Hulcom and Mitt Romney.

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: Interesting. I don't agree with you, but I can see it.

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I can see the point. It is eleven forty five

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: here on ninety three zero point one w IBC as

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: a duel. It is mister Spanglis. Jerry Lopez back to

55
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: wrap with the show in just a bit.
