Imagine that I've been 63 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: greatly irritated. And it's not just dragging either. I've been 64 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: greatly irritated by a lot of things lately. You know, 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 3: the dogs irritated me because they're having a difficult time. 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 5: You know what the heck did the dogs do? 67 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: Well? 68 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 5: They're great little puppies. 69 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: They didn't irritate me. But this morning I was reading 70 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 3: in bed, so I didn't get out of bed quite 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: as early as I normally do. But I heard tammer 72 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: rumbling around downstairs. So I got up and I opened 73 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: the bedroom door, turn the light on, and because I 74 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: get their food ready at night. 75 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: So all they all they. 76 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: Gotta do is just go down and Tamra could put 77 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: their bowls out for them, But no, they had to 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: wait until I finished taking a shower. 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys are idiots. 80 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: They themselves decided to wait when their food was available. 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: Yes, because they're so there's it's such a routine to 82 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: them that until until Dad gets out of the shower 83 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: and puts clothes on, we can't eat. 84 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: You. 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be wonderful if children were that way? Imagine 86 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: if children, our spouses were that way. 87 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Oh, it's for it, it's for it, it's for the afternoon. 88 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm angry. I need to go eat. I need to 89 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: go eat. 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 5: The old joke that I love. 91 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 4: Put your dog and put your wife in the trunk, 92 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: leave them there for an hour. See which one's happy 93 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 4: when you open it up. 94 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com for all you wives out there, 95 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com. So I've been greatly irritated 96 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: by the online spaces you know, Facebook, X, Instagram, all 97 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: of them for the last I don't know, umpteen weeks, 98 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: primarily because it really has been this hub of negativity 99 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: that does very little by the way of pushing any 100 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: sort of action. 101 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: You know. 102 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: I sometimes try to at least provide some actionable items, 103 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: you know, some things by which we can measure whether 104 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: we're being successful or not. It's just it's become, uh, 105 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: everything's become overblown by all all this extravagant bitching. Just 106 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: that's there's the key phrase of the day, just extravagant bitching. 107 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: There are there are some posters that I trust for 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: data who entered into the funnel of all this online doom, 109 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: and now I think they're struggling to get out of 110 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 3: that online doom. But what makes it worse is that 111 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: I think I'm the one who feels like the fool 112 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: because I actually am optimistic. I'm focusing on the long 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: term battle for the survival of the republic, And as 114 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: I tried to point out in that thing, like that 115 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: comment that I made on X last night, I truly do. 116 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: In fact, let me just pull it up when talking better, 117 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: Let me just pull it up and I'll tell you 118 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: what I wrote and see if you agree or disagree 119 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 3: with this, because some of you obviously did not, or 120 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: one person in particular did not. Progressives and Marxists since 121 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 3: about nineteen twenty have caused this slow moving auto accident 122 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: that we're living through right now. The car is rolling 123 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: over and over and over and slowly coming to a stop. Now, 124 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: what I should have added in hindsight was it did 125 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: speed up for a while, like between FDR and Obama, 126 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: the rollover of the car really sped up. But now 127 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: it's slowly coming to a stop because of Donald Trump, 128 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: because the Republicans controlling the federal legislature to Congress, and 129 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: it is rolling to a stop and is queen of 130 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: Land on all fours. But nonetheless, the car is going 131 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: to be damaged. 132 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Now. 133 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: I believe that we American citizens are going to walk 134 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: away from this slow rolling accident, but we're going to 135 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 3: be scarred, we're going to be injured, and we're going 136 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: to be scared. Well, I say one word which I 137 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: can't say on air. Let's just say I say, we're 138 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 3: going to be scared, feaciless. But the car will land 139 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: on its now flattened wheels. We just have to walk away, 140 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 3: take those things that endure, like the Constitution, and rebuild 141 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 3: the car. We're starting that rebuilding now. But the people 142 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: who cause the accident are trying to keep all the 143 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: first responders away, hoping the car explodes before we can 144 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: be rescued, because then they can impose their wonderful utopia 145 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: with a total car and we'll have to start everything 146 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: over from scratch, you know, with a color Revolution or 147 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: the Second American Revolution, or whatever it might be. And 148 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that we necessarily have to do that. 149 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: That's why I'm optimistic. I truly am optimistic that we 150 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: can survive this. There will be, obviously, there'll be anytime 151 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: you suffer a major car accident like this, there are 152 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: obviously ups and downs in your recovery. But overall, I 153 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: sincerely believe that we are going to survive this. But 154 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 3: even if we survive it, and I do feel like 155 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: a fool sometimes for being optimistic. There have been multiple 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: elections this year in which I knew Democrats were going 157 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: to win, they were going to win, and that narratives 158 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: were going to start. And the Republicans still have a 159 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: lot of work to do when it comes to motivating voters, 160 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: particularly without Donald Trump on the ticket. The Wisconsin Supreme 161 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: Court race, I just knew based on things I was reading, 162 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: that we were going to win that back by a 163 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: comfortable margin the Wisconsin Supreme Court race I called by 164 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: a comfortable margin for the Democrats sanctioned candidate, plus the 165 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: top of the ticket races in Virginia, New Jersey. But 166 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: I've also talked about weak points in various executive actions. 167 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: I've suggested areas for stronger action, and I've also cautioned 168 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: against escalation of various conflicts throughout the world. Just based 169 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: on my understanding of military history and strategy and world's history, 170 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: we should reject raw, raw voices that are incapable of 171 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: seeing fault lines. 172 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: But likewise, it's. 173 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: Necessary to reign in the voices that do nothing but despair. 174 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: They are particularly dangerous because they demoralize our greater effort for. 175 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: Our long term success. 176 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: But let's take a stab at addressing the movement that 177 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: we are in right now. And I want to address 178 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: the movement that we're in because there's a lot of 179 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: turmoil in that movement, and I'm afraid that turmoil could 180 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 3: consume even more people in paralysis by analysis, if you will. Now, 181 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: none of this is to this point answers the question 182 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: posed by the basic question, and that is, is the 183 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: MAGA coalition fractured? Beyond repair. First and foremost, the de factor, 184 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: leader of the Mega movement, has three years and so 185 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 3: many months and so many days left until he will 186 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: hand over the presidency to his success By version of 187 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 3: so much time remaining on the clock, more than three 188 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: quarters of the term fracture beyond repair is out. Now, 189 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 3: let's address this question with two items suggesting a need 190 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: for positivity about the administration, and two that might suggest 191 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: imminent danger that could lead to graver consequences if we 192 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: don't address those On the positive side, I would make 193 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: the first point one of the great flaws of our 194 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: political system is that eight to ten major ideologies are 195 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: stuffed into a system that requires supporting one of two 196 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: major parties. In each of those parties, there are anywhere 197 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: between eight and ten major ideologies stuffed into those two parties. Now, 198 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: you can argue with me all you want to about 199 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: Libertarians or the Green the greeny Weenies, or the no 200 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 3: Labels group, but significant minor party support died off back 201 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: in the nineteen nineties, and big money on advertise, big 202 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: money on voter contact, big money on pointing out polarization 203 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: canalyzes the electorate one way or the other. Democrat or Republican, 204 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: and it is even more pronounced in midterm years in 205 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: which minor parties don't even go to the trouble of 206 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: fielding candidates for either House or Senate seats, let alone 207 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: state legislative chang chambers. So with that noted, if you 208 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 3: track voter registration by party, I think you'll understand my 209 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: reasoning to be optimistic, because voter registration by party is 210 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 3: the clearest indicator of voter sentiment and the most predictive 211 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: way of pegging the the trajectory, if you will, of 212 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: states for the next presidential election, we have thirty states 213 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: registered voters by party, thirty states, and in every statement, 214 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: New York and Utah Republicans have a greater raw registration 215 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: lead or just a small deficit than they did in 216 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: the November election last year. New York's drift, I think, 217 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 3: is owed to the mayoral race, in which everybody in 218 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: their mother registered Democrat to go pick the next mayor, 219 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: and Utah's is owed to voter role maintenance. In what 220 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: is an overwhelmingly Republican state, Democrats are making gains practically nowhere. 221 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: Now that could change, and if it does, you'll hear 222 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: about it before anybody else, because I'll obviously talk about it. 223 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: States were notably swinging away from Obama by the by 224 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: the time the twenty ten midterms came around. Remember in 225 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: twenty twelve, forty three out of fifty states moved toward 226 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: Romney from the previous election. Now, I could definitely tell 227 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: you that the country is moving away from MAGA if 228 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: and when I see it in the voter registration records. 229 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: But that does not mean Republicans are going to win 230 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six midterms, as those elections are a 231 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: completely different animal. They're subject to political dynamics consistent for 232 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 3: over ninety years. 233 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: Now. It does, however, point. 234 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: To sustained Republican success over the long run and a 235 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: transformation of the electorate. So far, voters in the greater 236 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: electorate aren't getting the online message to go embrace the Democrats. Now, 237 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: if you are just buried deep into the online minutia, 238 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 3: you might perceive, and I know sometimes perception is reality, 239 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 3: but here I don't think it is. You might perceive 240 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: that a lot of voters are now beginning to embrace Democrats. 241 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 3: So far, the reality is they have not. This means 242 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: that Trump is still to quote Teddy Roosevelt, Little Roosevelt. 243 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: Trump's still the man in the arena. He's still the 244 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: guy with the ability and most importantly, the time to 245 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 3: make things happen. That's the first positive point. Second positive 246 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: point is this, we've been here before. 247 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 6: We we. 248 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: Ignore history to our own peril. Trump's rise in time 249 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: in office reminds me of and this may date me, 250 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: but this reminds me of Ronald Reagan's journey. I suspect 251 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: history would remember those years differently if X formerly Twitter, Facebook, 252 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: or all the other forms of social media were there in. 253 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: The background at the time. 254 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: If you're old enough to remember the Reagan years, you 255 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: would remember Reagan is destroying and betraying his bass. Reagan 256 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: is owned by filling the blank. Why the Reagan cabinet 257 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: is sabotaging the president himself. Oh, we're not going to 258 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: win the midterms. Everything's gonna be We're gonna be lost 259 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: forever in the wilderness. You know what happened. Reagan got 260 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: smoked in both of his midterms. And what's most incredible 261 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: about that is that he had a sixty three percent 262 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: approval rating in nineteen eighty six. Then, after getting trampled 263 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: in the nineteen eighty two mid terms, his approval ranking 264 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: sank two thirty five percent. 265 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: Does that sound familiar? 266 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: Then the boom happened, the Reagan boom happened only after 267 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 3: he'd been in office for a year or two. Does 268 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: that sound familiar? What do we keep hearing from Scott 269 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: percent and the others, Oh, you know, first quarter of 270 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 3: next year, first quarter of next year, all these things 271 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: are going to kick in and we'll start to see 272 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,119 Speaker 3: a boom. Same thing happened back in the eighties, Absolutely 273 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: the same thing. All the damage that Carter inflicted on 274 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: the country started to reverse. Now they're already signs the 275 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: damage of the Biden economy is going to do the same, 276 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: and it's going to give a window of opportunity that 277 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: none of us saw coming. That issue, and not immigration, 278 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: which most voters, particularly swing voters, see is a fixed 279 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: issue because of Donald Trump, will dominate the midterms and 280 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: determine the level of Republican success next fall, or perhaps 281 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: the lack thereof. So what we ought to do is 282 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: just get our minds right for the midterms. And I know, 283 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: may I know, it's only Friday, November twenty one, twenty five, 284 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: may seem early talk about the midterms, but I guarantemn 285 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: to you the people that are running the big donors 286 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: the parties are already getting prepared. Do you how I 287 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: know that one little blurb I heard in the news 288 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: this morning, one little tiny blurb which people don't understand 289 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: the significance of the Republican National Committee right now has 290 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: over ninety million dollars in the. 291 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: Bank and zero debts. Do you know what? 292 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: The Democrats have a vote loaded debts and they just 293 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: signed the loan for fifteen million dollars. Now you put 294 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: those two in two buckets and walem and see which 295 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 3: bucket you'd rather be in. Trump knows what it's going 296 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 3: to take to make the American economy work for Americans. 297 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: But when you're trying to reverse decades, I mean lovely 298 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: decades of offshoring and trying to use tariff to do that, 299 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: that takes time, patience, and quite frankly, a little bit 300 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 3: of pain to get the message through. But our desire 301 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: for instant gratification, that culture of instant gratification that somehow 302 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: demands that things go back to normal to appease investors, 303 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: the CEOs of all the type, the top line sticklers, 304 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 3: but what a lot of people won't address is that 305 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 3: some of this lag we talked about in the last hour, 306 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 3: particularly the contraction of manufacturing sector under Trump forty seven, 307 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 3: is directly linked to his fulfillment of the deportation plan. 308 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: So those companies that employ illegal labor are now shorthanded 309 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 3: and in some cases are unable to meet their business 310 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 3: obligations as they're still unwilling to hire American labor. And 311 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: quite frankly, there's some Americans that are unwilling to go 312 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 3: to those jobs. Although if you look at the jobs 313 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 3: numbers this week, it appears that, oh, we were told 314 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 3: that if we have all the deportations, including the self deportations, 315 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 3: that we won't have anybody to fill those jobs. Well 316 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 3: apparently one hundred nineteen thousand people did, and that was 317 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: a good number. And that number are private sector jobs, 318 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: not public sector government jobs. 319 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: And it's break time. 320 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 7: Scene in the movie Mister Mom where the mom Terry 321 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 7: garr goes and becomes an executive and she helps the 322 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 7: guy that's the head of the tuna company to lower 323 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 7: his prices, and it's really great in it reminds me 324 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 7: exactly what you're doing. Somebody has to convince people to 325 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 7: lower their prices. And anyway, it's a really fun scene. Thanks, 326 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 7: have a great day. 327 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: Wow, that was quite a a reference pulled out of 328 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: something I would have never thought. 329 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: I remember Terry Garr. Whatever happened? Is she alive? Were dead? 330 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: And she was actually you know, decent actress? Yeah? Gone. 331 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 3: She always used to appeal on Letterman Show, wasn't it. 332 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 3: She's always appearing on Letterman Show. We have a domestic 333 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: dispute going on, so I don't know whether the program 334 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 3: will be able to continue or not. But talent and 335 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: producer are having an argument because I'm accusing the producer 336 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 3: of always lying to me. 337 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 4: Why would I lie about this? Why would I constantly 338 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 4: say on air to clarify exactly how people should text 339 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 4: the show? 340 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 3: Because all the other times you lied to me about 341 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 3: everything else? 342 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: Wow? Well, I know. 343 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: And then he says, oh, that's harsh. That's harsh. That 344 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: itself is a lie. 345 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 5: Also, Terry Garr died last year? 346 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: Oh, just last year? 347 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Ali Wisher twenty four do you know, I don't 348 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 4: know what's forty four into twenty four? 349 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. 350 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: You talked to the guy that has to have his 351 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: iPhone to do you know calculate a tip seventy nine? 352 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: It's not bad good for her. 353 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 3: Yes, you have to use the word Michael or Michael 354 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: at the beginning of the text message. 355 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: Are you happy now? 356 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 5: Been saying that for years? 357 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: He's right there? How's that dragging? Is right? 358 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 5: Say it again so I can get it. 359 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: No, No, no, I'm not going to. 360 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: Say it against so you can give it to AJ 361 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: so he makes some promo out of it. Not going 362 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: to do that, I mean, I you know, I may 363 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 3: think you're lied to me, but I'm not stupid. Don't 364 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 3: eBay text me about that either. I don't want hear 365 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 3: no text messages about that. I want you to imagine 366 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: if Trump had given up on the deportation operation. 367 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: Think about that. What would the Bay say? 368 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: Then? 369 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 3: It just irritates me that clear victories implemented almost immediately 370 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: upon taking taking office back in January, get ignored, while 371 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 3: other issues, even if they are valid issues, end up 372 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: getting cherry picked, elevated, and then are used as a 373 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 3: reason to give up on the administration and the Greater 374 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: Movement forever. With more than three quarters of the stupid 375 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: game remaining to be played, let alone, the next seasons 376 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: the future seasons. We're kind of acting like with you know, 377 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 3: we're out of the game with more than two minutes 378 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 3: left to play in the first quarter, and much of 379 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 3: Trump's domestic agenda is already fulfilled. With the economic fix 380 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 3: currently in the works. You know, the southern border is 381 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 3: now essentially secured. Almost no one is even bothering to 382 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 3: set foot in the Darien Gap, that deadly stretch of 383 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 3: jungle that goes from South America through Central America. That's 384 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 3: the part where all the human traffickers smuggle personnel through 385 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: in these unbelievable numbers. During the Biden years, we lived 386 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: through four years of Biden's open borders, and we heard 387 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 3: every day how we couldn't survive four more years of 388 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: the same policy. Well, now the border is essentially shut. 389 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 3: Step fare now being taken to ensure that the next 390 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: Democrat in charge can't simply just stand down the entire 391 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 3: border like Biden did. So when the Trump economy begins 392 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: to take off, which it must be on the verge 393 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: of doing. If all the doomsayers are out in force 394 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: right now telling us that it's horrible, it will be 395 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: all the working class needs to never again turn back. 396 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: But there are some negatives, and I want to address 397 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 3: some of the negatives that are the elephants of the room. 398 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 3: If you went on a if you're a Mormon or bad, 399 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: I don't care. You went on a church mission back 400 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: in September, you came back yesterday, and you logged into 401 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: x you'd think that you would have landed in a 402 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: different decade, in some sort of post apocalyptic American because 403 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 3: the same people cheering for the government to shut down 404 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 3: are now all up in arms. They're burning their MAGA hats, 405 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 3: proclaiming doom and gloom and focusing on a really few, 406 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: tiny handful of issues that haven't been delivered on yet 407 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 3: or in the process of being addressed again. With more 408 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 3: than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, with a 409 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: great recruiting class waiting in the wings, you look at 410 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 3: voter registration by party, and you know what I mean. 411 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: I could those my frustrations with how the x AD 412 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: revenue program has prioritized negative outrage messaging, which you get 413 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 3: all the shares, likes, and re quotes at incredibly high 414 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: rates compared to just standard reporting or standard commentary, or 415 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: like I like to do some rational analysis, or maybe 416 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 3: sometimes I do do smart ass analysis. I think sometimes 417 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 3: the X even though I know how to curate X 418 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: and how to use X formally Twitter, so it's still 419 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 3: a good platform for me for storytelling and for hearing 420 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: what it's on people's mind. The people that follow me 421 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: on X are really good people. Ninety nine percent of 422 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 3: them are. There's always the one percent, but it might 423 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 3: be well the worst platforms for political sanity and just 424 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 3: your peace of mind. If you want to know more 425 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 3: about what the you know, there's you know, I got 426 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 3: a couple of articles. I'll see if I can't find 427 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 3: the article that I read recently about how the monetization 428 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: of X is really undoing rational political discussion, And then 429 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: I can think of no greater issue that's negative than 430 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: the stupid Epstein Fiesco and I you know, as I said, 431 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad the President's encouraging you assign the bill. They're 432 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 3: going to have the four release of the files, which 433 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: entails you know, god knows what, But then maybe people 434 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: can get off to trying to protect pedophiles. Doesn't want 435 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 3: to be implicated in narrative, which truly defies common sense, 436 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: because if there was anything damning to Trump in any 437 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 3: documentation related to Epstein. It would have been dumped a 438 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: long time ago, and it would have destroyed any opportunity 439 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 3: for Trump to either become or to remain president. And 440 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what information that is severe enough to 441 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 3: the cabal that have sold out the country that it 442 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 3: would have survived four years of Biden. You know, the 443 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: cabal knows what's in those files, because you know the 444 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 3: relationship between the Biden administration, the deep state, between Biden 445 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: and the cabal, so they know what's in there. But 446 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 3: I know transparency is still the key, and I hope 447 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: that we get it. I hope we get it for 448 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 3: the sake of truth, and I hope we get it 449 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: for the sake of just moving on and getting it 450 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 3: out of the way of this administration's future success. And 451 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 3: then once Epstein's out of the way, well guess what, 452 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: they'll move on to the next topic. Because Trump derangement syndrome, 453 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 3: I believe, is very very real, and the cabald is 454 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: just they're one speaking of COVID, they're a super spreader. 455 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 3: But the Cabal is truly a super spreader, and they 456 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: just continue to feed people who are not discerning consumers 457 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: of news exactly what they want them to read and 458 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: hear because they know that, Oh did you hear what 459 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: I heard on the ABC World News tonight? 460 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: No one. 461 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 3: I really don't give a red task what you heard 462 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 3: on ABC World News tonight. 463 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 6: It's interesting how food prices have gone out, but the 464 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 6: cost of a TV set has dropped significantly. You can 465 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 6: buy a fifty five inch TV for under two hundred 466 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 6: dollars now, which means you could afford to shoot one 467 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 6: once a week. 468 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: I could. We should have a TV shooting contest sometime. 469 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 3: We'll just buy a bunch of TVs and go out 470 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: and just put on our least favorite, put on the 471 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 3: View or you know something, and just blow up the 472 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 3: TVs or something. Get out here in the back parking lot. 473 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 3: Be a great, a great listenering event. Come blow up 474 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 3: TVs with Michael Brown. On the negative side, you have 475 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 3: and I'm sure that this is going to, you know, 476 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 3: upset some people and other people agree, and I just 477 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 3: don't care if I'm just throwing out things for you 478 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 3: to think about. Marjorie Taylor Green MTG. You know, I 479 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 3: support freedom of speech, freedom of religion, religious assembly for 480 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 3: all Americans, and I'm a strong supporter of Israel. I'm 481 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 3: a Zionist, if you will, but it kind of makes 482 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: me angry to hear so many so called liberty lovers 483 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 3: criticize people for just asking questions, for just asking a 484 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: question at all about our relationship with Israel, over that matter, 485 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: our relationship with any other country Taiwan, are Ukraine. I 486 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 3: think those are all issues that well you should be 487 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: asking questions about. It doesn't mean that you don't support them. 488 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that ultimately you still want America first 489 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 3: and you still want us to take care of ourselves. 490 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 3: But I also you can hold two thoughts in your 491 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: head at the same time. I promising you can that 492 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 3: while Taiwan and Ukraine and Israel all present at Saudi Arabia, 493 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: throw them in the mix too or cutter. Those are 494 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: all necessary countries that we need to deal with, whether 495 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: you like. 496 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: It or not. 497 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 3: Like Trump meeting today with Zoefram, so He's gonna take 498 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: some Zoefram today, and I can't wait to see how 499 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: that turns out. You know, my guess is Trump will 500 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 3: be polite and they'll do, you know, some sort of 501 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: meeting afterwards, and you know it's not going to be 502 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: like Trump and Zelensky with their first meeting where it 503 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 3: turns into a brawl in the Oval office. But it could, 504 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: It could, It could. It'll make for great radio and 505 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 3: great great sound. But I I don't have a problem 506 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: with Trump talking to a communist any more than I 507 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 3: got a problem with Trump talking to Putin or Shi 508 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: Jin Ping. I have had it. I think Marjorie Taylor 509 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 3: Green knows that why she's making some of these focal 510 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: points in her appearances. You know, she opposes Trump's mass 511 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: deportation plans, and then she tries to patch that over 512 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: with opposition to H one B visus. She blames the 513 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: Republicans for the shutdown. She's been gracing CNN coverage and 514 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 3: standing in as a guest on the view of All Places, 515 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,239 Speaker 3: trying to broaden her appeals. I'm not really sure what 516 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: she's up to, but Republicans are not listening to the 517 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: younger generation, or at least as much as they should 518 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: to make it more finessed. And the risk isn't to 519 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six midterms. The risk of the twenty 520 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 3: twenty six midterms existed the moment that Donald Trump was 521 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: elected Back on November five of twenty twenty four. The 522 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: risk of the long term electorate tired of seeing America 523 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 3: relied upon to fix everybody else's problem is the real problem. 524 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: And that's not limited Israel again, I mentioned Ukraine, Taiwan, 525 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, anywhere. It's an issue that we've got to 526 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 3: come to grips with. So my absolutism about freedom of 527 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: speech has nothing to do with skin color, religious views, 528 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 3: raised ethnicity, or anything else other than the government the 529 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 3: United States adhering to its constitutional obligations and to protect 530 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: our rights. The Republican leadership and all the Magafire brands 531 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 3: have got to remember that above ideology. We need to 532 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 3: grow this base, and we've got to aim to improve 533 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 3: life here and to improve the economy. And as I 534 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: said earlier, I do believe that that is coming. Yes, 535 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 3: right now. I spent the entire hour talking about how 536 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: COVID got us to where we are, but how this hour, 537 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: I do believe that these economic policies that Trump has 538 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 3: put in place have yet we have get to see 539 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: the full benefit of those. And I don't think it 540 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: is trying to kick the can down the road, although 541 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: some issues are being kicked down that can is being 542 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: kicked down the road that generally speaking, the things that 543 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 3: Trump is doing. While, for example, well I might disagree 544 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 3: with the concept about no tax on tips, I do 545 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: recognize that that's going to have a good economic benefit. 546 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: So we've got to figure out how to start thinking 547 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: in a nuanced way to recognize that there are both 548 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: sides of a coin, and while we may prefer one 549 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: side over another side, we can't just shut down the 550 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 3: other side and just say to the Marjorie Taylor Greens 551 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: of the world, oh, you're destroying MAGA. I just don't 552 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: think she's destroying MAGA. She's raising issues. But the problem 553 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 3: is with a Marjorie Taylor Green is that notice what 554 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: I mentioned CNN appearances, the View appearances. 555 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: That doesn't help. 556 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: MAGA because those are not Mega friendly outlets, and her 557 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 3: appearance is going to be on those outlets is going 558 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 3: to be used by those inflicted with Trump derangement syndrome 559 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 3: to try to drive a fissure, to try to drive 560 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: a fracture between. 561 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: The Mega movement. That's the problem, and it's breaker
