31
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: Hi. Jeff's thank you for taking my call. I just

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 4: wanted to call up and make a comment about I'm

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: seventy one years old now, but when I was a

34
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: young guy, we had Senator Brooke in Massachusetts was a

35
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: black man, and he was one of the most distinguished

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: senators in the US American history. He co wrote the

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: Civil Rights Act in nineteen sixty eight, and he was

38
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: the first Before that, he was the first black man

39
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: ever to be elected as an Attorney general of any state.

40
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 4: And when it came to his leadership, color never mattered.

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: It's what he did as a man and what he

42
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: did as a senator that made the difference. He won

43
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: the Presidential Medal of Freedom in two thousand and four

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: and the Congressional Gold Medal in two thousand and eight,

45
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: very very well respected and beloved black man that changed

46
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 4: the course of history in America.

47
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: And Nick, I take it, you know your point being

48
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: on top of everything else, this was in Massachusetts, which

49
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: at the time, even now it's predominantly white, but at

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 2: the time was what is it ninety percent plus white.

51
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: So if you know with Catangi Brown Jackson is saying

52
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: it's true, or Sonya Soto mayor, and now what the

53
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Democrats are arguing, well, then a guy like him could

54
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: never have been elected because apparently only white people, either

55
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: white Democrats or white Republicans, they don't want to vote

56
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: for black candidates. So according to you know, by their standard,

57
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: this man never would have been a g never mind senator. Correct.

58
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Correct, And in the sixties he was the real lion

59
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: of the Senate, not Teddy Kennedy.

60
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Nick, are you shocked, and your point is a super point?

61
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Are you shocked? I don't know. This is that their

62
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: racism now is so open, so naked, it's not that

63
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that they're that they look at blocks in

64
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: such a condesceenting, insulting manner, you know, like basically that

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: they're cripples. I mean, that's really what they're saying. I mean,

66
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: forgive me, but that's really why. It's incredibly insulting argument.

67
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're they're they're they're cripples, they're handicapped. That's

68
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: how they are, I mean, And that they would just

69
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: say it so openly and nonchalantly, I'm just curious, Well,

70
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: what's your take on that, Nick.

71
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: It's not that I'm just shocked about that, is that

72
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: a lot of Democrats don't even learn their own history

73
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: that had made a big difference in America. They completely

74
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: forget about who Senator Brooke was and what he did

75
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: and how we changed the court the history to make

76
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: a society that was equal for everybody.

77
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, Nick, really good call. Thank you for that call.

78
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: Nick again. Best. I know, I know, Jeff, you sound

79
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: like a broken record. It's true. I don't know what

80
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: else to tell you. Best audience in the business. And notice,

81
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: where's Bill and Sudbury? Where are the people you know,

82
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: Chris and Gloucester I'm just where are the moonbats?

83
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 4: Now?

84
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: Suddenly, what's the matter? Cat caught your tongue? Suddenly, what's

85
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: the matter? Now? You don't want to call in, You

86
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: don't want to defend a CATANGI Brown Jackson or Sonya

87
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: setomayor or or this obvious racism now that's emanating from

88
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party? Suddenly, what's the matter? Now? No, you

89
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: don't got it. Suddenly you don't have a big mouth anymore.

90
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: Six ones. And by the way, and Trump's the racist

91
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: and we're the racists according to them, Anthony in New Hamphire,

92
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: make sure thanks for holding Anthony, and welcome.

93
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: Jeff Jeff Jess.

94
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: Not only is the Democrat Party racist, but they're also

95
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: sexist too. I don't know if well, I'm sure you

96
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 5: remember your party November when in twenty sixteen I drove

97
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: an hour in fifteen twenty minutes to come to join

98
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: you and celebration of Trump's victory. And you asked me,

99
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 5: how did I know that Trump was going to win

100
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: and drive all that way? Well, I work in the

101
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: sanctuary city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and the signs don't lie.

102
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 5: I hate to stick up for the woman, but Kataranji

103
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: Brown Jackson is a hundred and one thousand percent right.

104
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: The signs don't lie. In two thousand and eight and

105
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: in two thousand and twelve, while I was working in

106
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 5: that town, there was Barack Obama signs everywhere. I sent

107
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: you a video messenger. In twenty sixteen, there was probably

108
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 5: two Hillary Clinton signs in the whole damn city. Let

109
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 5: me tell you something. The Hispanic voters vote one on

110
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: racial lines. If you're a Hispanic man or woman, you

111
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 5: get their vote. Next comes the white guy, then comes

112
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: the white woman, and last but least comes the black man.

113
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: That's just a fact. The signs do not lie, and

114
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: I have video proof of it. I sent it to

115
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: you on a messenger. Like I said, it's it's his

116
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: stet in stone as can be, and it's history time

117
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: after time after time. Look at even when Barack Hussein

118
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: Obama was first running. What did Joe Biden say about him?

119
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 5: He couldn't shine a pair of shoes.

120
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: Anthony. Let me ask you this, just to follow up

121
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: to what you're saying. Do you think African Americans predominantly

122
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: vote along racial lines as well? In other words, do

123
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: you think they will vote for a black candidate just

124
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: because the person is black. And to push it even further,

125
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: what about say white Americans. Do you think whites overwhelmingly

126
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: vote based on someone's skin color as well? In other words,

127
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: they'll vote for a white candidate, say over a Latino,

128
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: over a black candidate. So, in other words, are they

129
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: just now saying the quiet part out loud? What's your

130
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: take on that, Anthony?

131
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: In the Democrat Party? One, yes, blacks will the blacks

132
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: are no different than the Hispanic Let me tell you something, Jeff.

133
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: There's about maybe one hundred black families in the Lawrence area.

134
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: It's all Hispanics.

135
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 4: You go to the.

136
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: Black neighborhoods, there's maybe a hundred Hispanic people. They don't

137
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: like each other. They don't like each other. Racism is

138
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: in the Democrat Party as far as Republicans. Before I

139
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: was going to vote for Donald Trump. I went and

140
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: seen him in New Hampshire near Laconia, and I was

141
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 5: going to vote for Ben Carson because I thought he

142
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: was a brilliant man. But after I heard Trump speak,

143
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: the power behind his voice and he said everything that

144
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 5: I stood for, he got my vote. He changed my vote.

145
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: But it wasn't because of the color of his skin.

146
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: It was because of the content of his message. And

147
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 5: that's what separates Republicans from Democrats and some independents. They

148
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: vote on tribalness.

149
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting, Anthony, Wow, thank you, Anthony, thank you very

150
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: much for that call. Okay, let me refine the question, then, is,

151
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: in other words, is Anthony Wright Cataji Brown Jackson is

152
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: just saying for the Democrats the quiet part aren't loud.

153
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: They vote along racial lines, so they think everybody else

154
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: must vote along racial lines. Is that true? Your calls?

155
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,280
