You know, 9 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: I can't try to squeeze in a day or two 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: here or there. I have to grovel towards Tepper. You know, 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: I have to go out there.

So I got 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: to do that. So then if I ask for you know, 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: I didn't take the whole week Thanksgiving off? Could I 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: maybe take it extra day here or there?

Looking at that Forrest Gump rules 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: of Engagement, it is almost ninety seconds long.

And yes, they will continue, they will continue. 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: I had a couple of people yesterday tell me that 49 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: that's one of their favorite segments. 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: On the program. 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: I think it's because that's a double click, Mike, or 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: that's a good taxpayer relief shot. 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: Next you get the sheriff, and you get the compared 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: in between our sheriff that we have here and the 55 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: Canadian sheriff. 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: That's well, and. 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: Every time I play that one, we have a couple 58 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: of listeners in Canada and or maybe more I don't know, 59 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: but I inevitably get an email or text message about 60 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: something stupid that that sheriff or in some other province 61 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: or some other city up there, that some other stupid 62 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: sheriff has done. 63 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: It's really it's pretty interesting. Soeter Johnson, who knows. 64 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: There's something about him that I like, and there's something 65 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: about him I don't like, and I can't quite figure 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: out what it is. He's one of those guys that 67 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: you just well, probably you know, not like me, because 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: you all just love me, but I can't quite figure 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: out exactly. 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's more like Dragon. 71 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: You know, we kind of like Dragon, but we kind 72 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: of like me, you know, do we really want to 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: be seen in public with him? That that's kind of 74 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, right, you know, Dragon red beer kind of 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: the same thing. 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: We're good. 77 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: I want to work our way through this, but the 78 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: Democrats are really beginning to panic. So far, we've had 79 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: the chairman of Delta Airlines come out and say it's 80 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: it's time, Democrats, you got to stop this because we're 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: suffering and you're putting air passengers in danger. And I'm look, 82 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: it's not the fault of the air traffic controllers. They're overworked, 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: they're overburdened, and they I think what iHeart did I 84 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: think when iHeart put in the new three eighty six computers, 85 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: I think they sold the old ones to air traffic control. 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: That's how bad their system is. It makes our system 87 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: look like it's a brand new MacBook with an M 88 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: five chip in it. 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it makes it look like. Which are 90 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: blazing fast. 91 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 2: By the way, United Airlines CEO came out, it was 92 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: either the head or the United Auto Workers or the Teamsters. 93 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: I forget, it doesn't make any difference. But one of 94 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: those union presidents at the White House told the Democrats, now, 95 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: when you've lost the airlines, you've lost the unions. When 96 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: you've got even different Democrat groups saying it's time to 97 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: stop the crap and vote and reopen the government. Your 98 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: tactics are losing. You've lost. But Speaker Johnson did something. 99 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: This was either yesterday or day before he went to 100 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: the floor, or he actually went to the Speaker's press 101 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 2: conference room, and he listed off the demands that the 102 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: Democrats have to reopen the government. And I love this 103 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: because we get bits and pieces here and there about 104 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: what's going on behind the scenes. What is it that 105 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: the Democrats are telling the Republican Caucus that they need 106 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: in order to get you know, two more votes, because 107 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: we've got Fetterman, the Senator from Arizona, and Angus King 108 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: or somebody we got. We got three senators, three Democrat 109 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: senators that recognize that it's done. I would play a 110 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: SoundBite from John Fetterman, but I haven't edited yet. But 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: Fetterman basically says, I don't understand why the Democrats can't 112 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: get their feces together and reopen the government. Like Fetterman 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: more and more every single day. Now, I know he's 114 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: gonna piss me off at some point, but when he's, 115 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: you know, saying things like that, you got to say, yeah, 116 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: way to go. Maybe you know, I know this is 117 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: just a joke, and it's a bad joke. But strokes 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: do amazing things, don't they. They let you see the light. 119 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's the light that you don't want to see, like, oh, 120 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: I'm crossing the other side. 121 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson, there are. 122 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 4: Simple facts about the Democrat shutdown that everybody needs to recognize. 123 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: Here's four of them. 124 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: First of all, we have to have Democrats to reopen 125 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 4: the government. You know that in the Senate, it requires 126 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: sixty votes to break an impact hanging on with Lily. 127 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: Sixty votes to stop debate. Technically, they're in the debate phase. 128 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: They're trying to get beyond the debate phase so they 129 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: can vote on the continuing resolution. This is procedurally what's happening. 130 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: That's called invoking culture. That requires sixty votes. That's one 131 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: of the historical rules of the Senate that slows down 132 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: some of the crazy stuff that the House does and 133 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: make certain that you have some sort unless you have 134 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: a supermajority of Republicans or a supermajority of Democrats in 135 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: the Senate, it's what requires compromise, and it's what requires 136 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: that you get some bipartisan support. And here where we 137 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: don't have a supermajority, we need sixty votes, So we 138 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: need some Democrats to come over and vote for us 139 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: or vote with us, just like all the ree You know, 140 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: it's interesting in the House, which passed this clean cr 141 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: that's stuck now in the Senate, we lost a couple 142 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: of Republican votes, like Thomas Massy of Kentucky, but not 143 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: surprised by that, and we picked up Democrat votes. So 144 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: Democrats voted for this in the House. Now, some people 145 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: have suggested, and I think even Trump has suggested, this 146 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: is where the President needs to stay out of this. 147 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: This is not his fight. This is the fight between 148 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: the Article one part of our government, the House, and 149 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: the Senate, the Congress. So Trump needs to zip his 150 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: lips and shut. 151 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: Up about this. 152 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: I've heard I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard 153 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: that he's asking them to invote the nuclear option, that 154 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: is where you just require a simple majority for everything, nominees, 155 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: closing debate everything. Well that's what the Democrats did, and 156 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: they did it for judicial nominations, and that's what allowed 157 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: us to get some nominees on the bench. Well, I 158 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: love it for us, but I think it's a bad deal, 159 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: a bad idea. Writ large, the Senate needs to keep 160 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: the filibuster and the supermajority, the sixty votes for I 161 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: think they should go back to doing it for nominees. 162 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: That nuclear option of only requiring a majority vote fifty 163 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: one allowed us to push through I think, I think 164 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: like one hundred and twenty nominees that were stuck in 165 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: the Senate. So Democrats, see what you did. We told 166 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: you if you blow that up, we'll use it, and 167 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: we did. 168 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: Now. Am I glad we used it? Yes? I think 169 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: they should have blown a up in the first place. 170 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: No, because I like government mostly most of the time 171 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: that works slowly and methodically, particularly when it comes to 172 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: passing bills like increasing our taxes or taking away our freedoms, 173 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: limiting our liberties, all of that, I want them to 174 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: slow down. 175 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 4: No, it really keep pit close to the podium. Now, 176 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 4: want anybody see this? Okay, we're gonna make it simple. 177 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: I had my fifteen year old son and some of 178 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: his friends were together over the weekend, and they wanted 179 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: me to explain it to him as simply as possible. 180 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 4: This is the little formulation. Okay, hey, fellows, remember from Civics, 181 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 4: you got to have sixty votes in the Senate. We 182 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: only have fifty three Republicans, so we must have Democrats 183 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: to do it. The Democrats are out trying to claim 184 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: that this is all on Republicans because we control the government. 185 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: We don't control the Senate without sixty votes, so you 186 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: have to have them. Now, they've voted thirteen times, those 187 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: Senate Democrats. Counting the House and the Senate together, they 188 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 4: voted thirteen times to keep the government closed. 189 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Now, my guess is that after the November four election 190 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: next Tuesday, I think Democrats will cave and now Chuck 191 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Schumer some of them, I think some will cross over 192 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: and vote for it. I think they're just trying to 193 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: hold out between now and Tuesday's election. 194 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 4: And what they're demanding as a ransom to reopen the 195 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: government are some really crazy things they want. They want 196 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: to restore two hundred billion dollars in health benefits paid 197 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 4: for by US taxpayers to illegal aliens and non citizens. 198 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: We can't do that, and you know that's a fact. 199 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: Now the cabal will tell you that's not true. Well, 200 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: it's against the law to do that. Well, that's like saying, 201 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's against the law to it's against 202 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 2: law of speed. But people speed, Yeah, it's against the 203 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: law to provide those benefits to illegal aliens, but states 204 00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: do it. 205 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 4: They want billions of dollars in wasteful programs to be 206 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 4: returned to foreign countries for things that none of you 207 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: would agree with. We're not going to do that. They 208 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 4: want a half a billion dollars to go back to 209 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: left leaning news organizations paid for it by taxpayers. We 210 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: can't do that. 211 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: And then, well, what's interesting about that particular example. We 212 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: have the same example of that going on in Colorado. 213 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: So you know Denver's trying to get this big ass 214 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: bond issue passed. Well, guess who is funding the yes 215 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: vote on that bond issue. NGOs they get taxpayer funding, 216 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: are then using some of your tax dollars if you're 217 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: if you pay taxes in Denver, they're then using some 218 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: of those taxes or they maybe it's all of us, 219 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: because some of these NGOs get federal tax dollars. They're 220 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:57,479 Speaker 2: then using those dollars to organize, produce, and sell advertisement 221 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: on television and radio to pass that bond issue. I 222 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: think we should outlaw that if you receive tax payer 223 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: money and you're an NNGO, you cannot use that The politic. 224 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: They want to cut fifty billion dollars from the Rural 225 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: Hospital Fund that Republicans got signed into law July fourth 226 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 4: to prop up healthcare in red states and rural areas 227 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 4: around the country. It's too important, but they want to 228 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 4: take that away. They know that we can't do it. 229 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 4: And now that they've begun to admit what this is 230 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: all about, thanks Lee can put on the thing there. 231 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: They're admitting, they're admitting what they're up to. Chuck Schumer said, 232 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 4: every day of the shutdown gets better for us, meaning 233 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 4: the Democrat Party. And you know, we had the top ranked, 234 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 4: the second ranked Democrat in the House, the minority whip, 235 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 4: who just said a few days ago, the end of 236 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 4: last week that we know that this is causing great 237 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: pain for the American people, but we have to use 238 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 4: this leverage. We don't have many times or we have 239 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: leverage like this. And so they've shown you what the 240 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: real motivation is. But ultimately, why are they doing all that. 241 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: Let me summarize this really quickly as simply as I 242 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: can for the civic students back home. Republicans are not 243 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: demanding anything, literally nothing. All we want is to reopen 244 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: the government and. 245 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: In fact, let me emphasize this clean cr As much 246 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: as I hate to admit, this maintains government spending at 247 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: Biden levels. This is just a continuation of the Biden 248 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: spending levels. That's all it is. 249 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: The Democrats are demanding all those things that just showed 250 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: you on the chart, plus a lot more. When I 251 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 4: say they want to send money to foreign countries, this 252 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 4: is some of the things that they would propose that 253 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 4: we spend money on. Again, they're demanding this is a 254 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 4: ransom to reopen the government. Things like four million dollars 255 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: for global lgbtq I plus awareness campaigns around the world, 256 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 4: four million dollars for the LGBTQI plus democracy grants in 257 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 4: the Balkans. They want two million dollars for feminist democratic 258 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: Principles projects in Africa. We're not doing that. But again 259 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 4: the question is why why this sounds crazy? It is 260 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,119 Speaker 4: why would. 261 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: They do this? And what we saw on. 262 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: Vivid display over the weekend was the re emphasis of 263 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 4: this fact. This is motivated purely out of fear. And 264 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: what do we mean by that? You saw the Democratic 265 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: leader in the House, Hakim Jeffreys, endorse Zoron Mamdani for 266 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 4: mayor of New York City. 267 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 2: This is why it will not open at the earliest 268 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: until Wednesday, November. 269 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: Five, Friday. It was an illustration of what we're facing here. 270 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 4: The Democrats right now fear the far left activists more 271 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: than they fear air traffic controllers, border patrol agents, American 272 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 4: service members and so many others missing their paychecks. They 273 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 4: fear the Marxist insurgents like Mondani more than they fear 274 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 4: families and children going hungry from laps benefits that keep 275 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 4: food on their tables. They simply fear losing their own 276 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 4: political positions next November if they don't appease the angry 277 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 4: far left base right now, and they will appease that 278 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: base at any cost, no matter how much pains inflicted. 279 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 4: In fact, they've said in their own words, this gets 280 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: better for us day by day. 281 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: How does it get better? 282 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 4: Because they're proving to the angry far left base and 283 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: their party that they will prioritize them over the American people. 284 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: And simply put, it's the profound fear in the Democratic 285 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 4: Party that drives this shutdown. 286 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: It is not principle, it is not. 287 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 4: Policy, is certainly not concerned for the constituents that they 288 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: say that they want to represent. 289 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. The Democrats know that the controlling. 290 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: Interest in their party right now is the Marxist wing, 291 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: so they they've got to stuck up to them. Maybe 292 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: I missed this part someplace on the show, your show 293 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: or the podcast, But. 294 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: What are you going to do? Just move to a 295 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: different part of the building. 296 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: Where are you going to physically be when you supposedly 297 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: or do go to Koa. 298 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: You're sure in hell they're not flying out to LA. 299 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: Please explain that aspect of your new promo.

Now, you 343 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 2: may not care about New York City, but I do, 344 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: and I do simply because like Washington, d C. I've 345 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: got a lot of history in New York City. There 346 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: there was a time period in my life where representing 347 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: a client, a PubL will get traded company that was 348 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: going through a Chapter eleven bankruptcy, I spent for all 349 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: the better part of the year flying out of Dia 350 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 2: every Sunday night or Monday morning and getting to LaGuardia, 351 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: getting into town, having meetings that afternoon, dinner that night, 352 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: working dinners, and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then flying 353 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: back sometimes Thursday night, but usually Friday sometime, and then 354 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: you know, lather rents repeat. 355 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: Over and over and over for almost. 356 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: An entire year. I would say, out of fifty two 357 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: weeks probably did it for about forty weeks, forty five 358 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: weeks maybe, So I've. 359 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: Got a real affinity. 360 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: Plus just all the other times I spent in New 361 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: York before that doing business. So I've just got this 362 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 2: infinity for New York. And when my granddaughter wanted to 363 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: go there a few weeks agos, I was more than 364 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: happy to take her. Now, I couldn't live in New 365 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 2: York City, Don't get me wrong, I just can't. I 366 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: just can't imagine not being or being that far away 367 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: from the undisclosed location, which is the entire opposite of 368 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: what New York City is. Where I live, even in 369 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: Highland Ranch is the opposite of what New York City is. 370 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: But it's great to spend, you know, three or four 371 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: days there every now and then because there's so much history. 372 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: George Washington dug in against the Red Coats. You can, 373 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: you know, the Restaurant's Broadway, you can the nine to 374 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: eleven Museum, the Empire State Building Observatory, the Freedom Tower Observatory, 375 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: I mean, all those things, a Statue of Liberty. It's 376 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 2: just an amazing place. It is concrete canyon lands, but 377 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: it is wall streets nonetheless, but the the ideology of 378 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: the things that need to be done to fix New 379 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: York City because it needs fixing. Don't get me wrong, 380 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: it's it's it's a crappy place in some ways too. 381 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: But the drama and perhaps even more am I tired 382 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: of the ideology getting in the way of the practical 383 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: solutions that could help New York City. Mom, Donnie, he's 384 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: a radical who will bring about Islam's conquest of America. 385 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: He is the foot in the door. He's a communist. 386 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: It will further destroy New York City. Now he's ultimately 387 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: I think could be good for New York and the 388 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: country because we will be instead of me pointing across 389 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 2: the pond to London or the United Kingdom, or France 390 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: or Germany, or putting to some South American crabhole country somewhere, 391 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: I'll just be able to point, hey, just look across 392 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: the Hudson. Yeah, just from where we are, it's the 393 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: Hudson noth East River. Just look across the Hudson. Because 394 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: he will show how bad their platform is. And quite frankly, 395 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 2: because New York is a Democrat stronghold New Yorkers deserve. 396 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: Now I know there's a right winging holy war going 397 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: on right now about man Dami and about Curtis Sliwa, 398 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: and about you know, Curtis made a really good point 399 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: last night on Brett Bear's program. 400 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: I could be everybody's. 401 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: Calling for for him to withdraw from the race. Even 402 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: if he withdrew from the race today, he's on the ballot. 403 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: And his point last night was, even if I get 404 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 2: run over by a bus and I become a grease 405 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: spot on this road, I'm still on the ballot. So 406 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: stop that stupid fight. There's plenty of fodder otherwise to 407 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: deal with. If Mom Donnie is an existential threat like 408 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: the asteroid the size of Texas in Armageddon, then there 409 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: is no ideology conservative, liberal or otherwise that should get 410 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: in the way of making sure that anyone, including you know, 411 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: the old people killing. 412 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, beats him out of the top spot. 413 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: We could push Cromo or another guy out in four 414 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: years if necessary, as long as we don't usher in 415 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 2: the end of New York. The major irritant for me 416 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: is that this is what the message he is, but 417 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: no one wants to act on a legitimate solution. If 418 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: if Mam Donnie is the existential threat to life, liberty, 419 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: and pursuit of happiness. The consultant class says that he is. 420 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: Then the only way to stop him is a two 421 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: man race. Poles suck, but I've learned how to read 422 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: what is accurate in them and what is not when 423 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 2: they all group together in different outlets arrive at the 424 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 2: same conclusion. And in this case, that Mom Donnie has 425 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 2: generally less than fifty percent supporting the polls but is 426 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: always at least in the mid forties with his opponents 427 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: combining for over forty percent, then I tend to believe 428 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: they have the pulse of what is going on. For example, 429 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: Fox News, Mam Donnie is at forty SI in Cuoma 430 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 2: thirty one, sly We fifteen. Mom Donnie's up sixteen. Hill 431 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: Emerson Poll Mom Donnie at fifty, CUOMO at twenty five, 432 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: Slywe twenty one. That's got Mom Donnie up plus twenty five. 433 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 2: The Merris Poll, Mom Donny's at forty eight Cuomo to 434 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 2: thirty two Slido sixteen. That's got Mom Donnie up sixteen points. 435 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: All three of those polls released this week Wednesday. Emerson 436 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: is probably the outlier, but the reason is not so 437 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: much Mom Donnie's support as it is measuring Cuomo lower 438 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: than the other two. Either way, Mom Donnie doesn't have 439 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: a commanding margin. Here's what these posters have. If we 440 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: were to combine Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa into one candidate, 441 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: not mon Domi. In other words, you're voting against Mom Dommy. 442 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: Fox News would have Mom Donnie still up one that 443 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: Hill Emerson but still have Mam Donnie up plus four, 444 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: and Marris would have him at a tie. So there 445 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 2: is no reason, I think to believe that Cuomo is 446 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 2: in this race other than not as bad as Mandanni. 447 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: There's what's the reason to vote for him? 448 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: The name or his father? 449 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: Is that it his dead father. The only reason to 450 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: vote for him, but only against Mandanni, especially if you're 451 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: right wing conservative, magi American, like you know most people 452 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: that listen to this program. 453 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: Then there's Curtis. Curtis Is. 454 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: You know, I've known Curtis since he's for decades. Who 455 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 2: doesn't owe it to anyone to be the guy to 456 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: drop out. But we ought to be realistic. You go 457 00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: back to November two, twenty twenty one, he ran again. 458 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: Curtis ran against Eric Adams. You know what The results 459 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 2: were four point nine million registered voters. Turn Out was 460 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: one point one million, twenty three point three nine percent. 461 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 2: Eric Adams garnered sixty six point nine nine percent of 462 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 2: the vote seven hundred and fifty three thousand, more than 463 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: three quarters of a million votes. Curtis got less than 464 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: half a million, three hundred twelve thousand, only drew twenty 465 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 2: seven point seven six percent of the vote. But then 466 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 2: you got the problem that New York City rolled out 467 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 2: like this for party registration in the twenty twenty four 468 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: presidential election. In the Bronx, Democrats up sixty four percent, 469 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: Brooklyn Democrats up fifty nine percent, Manhattan Democrats up sixty 470 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 2: two percent, Queen's Democrats up forty eight percent, stat Island 471 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: Democrats up six six percent. Staten Island Richmond County does 472 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 2: vote heavily Republican, but still Democrats were up six point 473 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: four percent. 474 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: But the others are still big. 475 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: Time Democrat margin counties, even with the solid Trump trend 476 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 2: in some of them, like I mean, Trump did very 477 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 2: well in these Democrat counties, and he's done so in 478 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: the past two elections, but he didn't win. Rudy Giuliani, 479 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: the crime Fighter, America's mayor who became the icon after 480 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 2: nine to eleven Bloomberg, who used his fortune to make 481 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: a viable public Republican winnable, but he actually turned out 482 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: to be a Democrat candidate in disguise. Slida becomes decades 483 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: too late to be a threat to that seat. So 484 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say here is that Curtis is 485 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: not going to win. And I think the analysis is clear, 486 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: and I'm trusting you so I can tell you what 487 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: you want to hear. I'm telling you what you need 488 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: to hear so you can reconcile reality with what is 489 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: likely to be the outcome next Tuesday. If if Donnie 490 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: is truly the threat to society the consultants say he is, 491 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: and I think he probably is, then every multi millionaire 492 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 2: in tycoon in New York City should have met immediately 493 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: after Mom Donnie won the primary in June to decide 494 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: which single candidate would be his opponent in November. They 495 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: would have decided on Clomo, maybe even possibly Eric Adams, 496 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: the incumbent. I don't know, but they could have solved 497 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 2: this the root of the problem. 498 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: Next Brani Dragon, They're all wrong. Everybody loves a butterface. 499 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 3: It just depends on how many bags you need one, two, 500 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 3: or three. 501 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: The bad thing about him is I could take that 502 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: in so many inappropriate directions because he's just inappropriate, correct, 503 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: totally inappropriate, which is why we love him. You know, 504 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: if if Mom Donnie were say a just a four 505 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 2: year arrangement and is really bad politics could be tolerated, 506 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: I would expect them to be booted out by the 507 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: voters in twenty twenty nine. But because of the danger 508 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: with the way the elections are running this country, especially 509 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: in the state like New York, where you got automatic 510 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: voter registration, you got all the mail in ballots to 511 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: go around, plenty of population density to harvest the hell 512 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: out of leftover ballots. In a close race, there may 513 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: be no ability to vote. Amount Everything that I've talked 514 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: about ties back to the neglect of the past. We 515 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 2: have failed to teach our children what to expect from government, 516 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: how to preserve the freedom of this great American experiment. 517 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: Republicans have abandoned the urban areas, yet we expect them 518 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 2: somehow to rally in a time of a perceived crisis. 519 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 2: There aren't enough that if they all rallied around, it 520 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: would make it difference, which is what I'm trying to 521 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: point out. Notably, we have accepted gradual changes to our 522 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: elections that allow ballance to be counted for weeks on end, 523 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 2: and then for trannical incumbents to stay perched in their 524 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 2: offices without fear of air getting evicted by the voters. 525 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: So maybe the. 526 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: Chickens have already come home to roost, and Mom dommay 527 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 2: just happens to be the first one to actually land 528 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: on the perch, and New York will suffer for it. 529 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: And I know you think, well, something side of the Hudson, 530 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about it. That's the canary 531 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: in the coal mine. Now we've got other canaries other places. 532 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: Dearborn Michigan, for one. Go look at that Portland, Maine. 533 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,719 Speaker 2: Go look at that Denver, Colorado. Go look at that. 534 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: We've got a lot of canaries around, but we just 535 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: keep plucking along. And you look at the stupid, dumb 536 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: ass Republican Party in Colorado. It's as dysfunctional as Chevy 537 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: Chase's family at that Christmas dinner they had. 538 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: It's truly dysfunctional. 539 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: At some point, we've got to get serious about our politics. 540 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 2: We've allowed the culture, which I do believe leads the politics. 541 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: We have allowed the culture to so infect the politics, 542 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: and then we've allowed the economy, the culture, political correctness, 543 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: everything else to just make those of us who work 544 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: for a living try to be productive members of society 545 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: understand the concept of individual liberty and individual freedom. We've 546 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: just become well, we're too busy to get involved with that. 547 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: We're too busy to even, you know, try to convince 548 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: within our own sphere of influence how wrong things are. 549 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: And I just find it the juxtaposition of our national 550 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: politics with the election of Trump and the sweep that 551 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 2: he made in the electoral college and in the popular 552 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 2: vote says to me that the majority of Americans really 553 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 2: do want to fix this stuff. But then when it 554 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: gets down to state and local, we tend to forget 555 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: and we just well, you know, we're too busy. 556 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: So all those so called. 557 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: Billionaires and the Wall Streeters and everybody else in New 558 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: York that fear him, well, sucks to be you, doesn't it. 559 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: You could have done something and you didn't do it. 560 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: There's a lesson in that to be learned for all 561 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: of us. Watch, you know, I got a stupid mailer 562 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: in the mail yesterday from the Douglas County Commissioners, a 563 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: full four color magazine, all telling me about what they're doing. 564 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: Really so, rather than spend that money on maybe fixing 565 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: a pothole somewhere, repairing a bridge, or maybe giving some 566 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: sheriffs and their deputies are raised, you sent me a 567 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 2: stupid magazine
