I mean, it's horrible, you know, all 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: the explicit messages, apparently right after he got married, hanging 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: out on websites with a with a towel around him 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: where young people frequent Pretty pretty unbelievable, says a US soldier, 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: a hero that he doesn't deserve to live, self proclaimed communist, 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: blaming sexual assault victims, of course, saying about the people 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: of his state that they're stupid and racist. Why would 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: you ever why would you ever vote for somebody like that? 21 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: He can't pass a porta potty apparently without getting sexually 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: stimulated and going in and having self gratification. And he's 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: talked about that. I mean, it's just so bizarre on 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: so many levels. I want to play. And then he 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: lies through his teeth like crazy, and you know, saying, oh, 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: the nature of his wife and his relationship has blown 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: out of proportion. This happened long before his marriage, and 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: center run. That's not true. It happened after he got married, 29 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: which is why he said he was in therapy. 30 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: Listen, I will just say that the nature of Amy 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: and ies relationship has been blown I would stay totally 32 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: out of proportion. Early in our marriage, we had some 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: struggles and we worked through them because that's what you 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: do when you're in love with somebody, and it made 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: our marriage much, frankly, a much happier and communicative couple. 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: I was single for the majority of my adult life. 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: I was in my twenties and thirties, and I dated. 38 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 3: And you know, that's in the modern age, that's what happens. 39 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: You date people, and you use dating apps and you 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: do all the stuff. And frankly, that all happened long 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: before I got married and happened long before he designed 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: to run for the United States Senate. 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: Then I guess he goes on with Liberal Joe in 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the morning and then he says, there's nothing out there 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: that's actually concerning. Really, listen, I. 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: Made it clear there's nothing out there that's actually concerning. 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: People will make everything seem very concerning because that's what 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: people in politics. But you know, I think the thing 49 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: about all of this is what I find to be 50 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: kind of most curious, is this is what everyone wants 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: to make the campaign about. So we do not talk 52 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: about the struggles of working. 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Manors anyway here to analyze what impact And we were 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: going over this with O'Reilly earlier, But I think it's 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: that big story is Steve Robinson of the Main Wire 56 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and Laurel Libby, Estate Rep from Maine. Okay, I say 57 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: he's lying. What say you, Laurel Libby. 58 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: Well he is lying. But you know, Sean, the scariest 59 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 4: thing about Graham Platner is not his history in his 60 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: personal life, but it's what he would do if he 61 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: actually got to the Senate. He represents the most extreme 62 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: left of the Democrat Party. He was recruited by Democrats, socialists, 63 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: and he wants to take the same agenda that Donnie 64 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: is executing in New York and bring it to DC. 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: That would be disastrous. 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's a self avowed communist on top 67 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: of everything else. I have been following what you have 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: been covering, Steve Robinson of main Wire. You guys have 69 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: been exhaustively examining this guy in his record. What am 70 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I missing? 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 5: Well, the lies have mounted to the point where you 72 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: can only conclude that this guy is pathological. He's lied 73 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 5: about how he purchased his home. He's lied about his 74 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 5: oyster business. Sean in maybe, but by the way. 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: He had one customer, his mother, and he was growing 76 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: up a kid of privilege, and he talks about rich 77 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: people as if they are the worst human beings on 78 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: earth and didn't deserve a thing that they got. 79 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 5: And I would doubt that his mom was even a customer. 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 5: To be honest, you know, nothing about that business really 81 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: adds up. It's not it was a hobby, not a business. 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: There's no such thing as an oyster man. No one 83 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 5: in Maine calls himself an oystermn Graham is the first 84 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 5: person to do that, and it's part of his New 85 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: York marketing campaign that appeals to out of staters and 86 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 5: people who lived who moved to Maine to live on 87 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: the coast. So that's the you know, the first lie. 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: That's where the lines, well, slow down here. There are 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: no oyster men in Maine. I did not know that. 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: I know those lobster guys up there. I assume there's 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: there's you know, clamming up there, right. 92 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 5: Yes, so there are there are oyster farmers, there's oyster aquaculture. 93 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 5: But the term oyster man was invented by this GQ 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 5: columnist who wrote this really homo erotic column about Graham Plattner. 95 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 5: They've invented this marketing term because they created this guy, 96 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 5: Tabolo Rossa. They just invented a character around his fake business. 97 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 5: But that's not that's just the beginning of the lies. 98 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 5: He lied to The New York Times about how he 99 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 5: was able to purchase his home. Said it was with 100 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 5: a VA program, but it was actually a sweetheart mortgage 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 5: from his daddy. He's lied about the number of affairs 102 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 5: that he's had, his promiscuous sexting. He lied to his 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 5: campaign staff. He continues to lie to his campaign staff. 104 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 5: He went down to Washington, d c looked all of 105 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 5: his you know, hopeful future colleagues in the face and said, 106 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 5: there's nothing more coming out, and then abuse allegations pour 107 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 5: out in the New York Times of all places. So 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 5: this guy is nothing less than a pathological liar, and 109 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 5: more is almost guaranteed to come out because if he 110 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: is admitting to having sex relationships, like to sexting with 111 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 5: at least six people using the kick app, you can 112 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: bet that the number is higher than that. I use 113 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 5: the beer rule to analyze that. When your wife asks 114 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 5: you how many beers you have, you divide by three. 115 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 5: So that's probably there's a lot of women out there 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 5: who the Daily Mail is probably looking to offer some money, 117 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 5: like they did with Sydney Letters when she was reporting 118 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 5: on Anthony Wiener. 119 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you to go a little deeper 120 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: in the paint and analyze the race, because you're right, 121 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: Maine is not New York City. Maine is not socialist. 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: I think it reminds me a lot of Alaska, rugged individualism. 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: People live off the grid. People are tough and hardy, 124 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: and you know they they which is probably why Susan 125 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: Collins has worked out as such a great senator Because 126 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: She is in many ways her own voice and the 127 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: conscience of the people of Maine and wants to reflect 128 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: their values. And it does put her at odds at 129 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: times with the President and Republicans, and she has no 130 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: problem standing independently. But you know, will the people of Maine, 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean, these were Democratic primary voters, the most radical 132 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: left voters that went for Platner. Will regular people of 133 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Maine buy into all of his lying excuse making, his 134 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: behavior and his rough gruff, you know persona. 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: Well, I think that the electorate in Maine has changed 136 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: significantly since twenty twenty because of the pandemic. We had 137 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: some of the most extreme left wing voters moved to 138 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 5: the state and bought you know, coastal mansions where they 139 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 5: thought they were going to live out the pandemic. They've 140 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 5: stayed here, They've brought their politics with him, and you 141 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: can see in subsequent elections there's another twenty thousand or 142 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 5: twenty five thousand hard left, extreme left liberals. So they've 143 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: got that will be Platner's base and they will turn 144 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 5: out for him. And so this isn't going to be 145 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 5: a walk off election for Susan Collins. She's probably in 146 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 5: for the toughest fight of her career. But you have 147 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 5: to remember she is the best at winning statewide elections 148 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 5: in Maine in recent campaign history the last three decades. 149 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: No one is better at winning statewide elections than Susan Collins. 150 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 5: And it's because she has a professional operation and also 151 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 5: a world class constituent services. Everyone who's ever interacted with 152 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: Senator Collins office leaves with a good experience, and that's 153 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 5: the kind of thing that you can't really put in 154 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 5: an advertisement. That's the kind of experience you can't buy, 155 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 5: and that's how you earn loyalty from voters, whether they're Democrats, Independents, 156 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 5: or Republicans. And Senator Collins has that. 157 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: What do you think as you listen to this Laurel, 158 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: You know, the average person of Maine. One of the guys, 159 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: a friend of mine I grew up with, lives in 160 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: Maine and he's got along and I call him now 161 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: mountain men, and we have jokes about it, and he 162 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: sends me pictures in the wintertime of these massive snowstorms 163 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and he loves the life there. And it's not that 164 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: he lives off the land, but he lives a tough life, 165 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: but he loves He loves the outdoors. It's his passion. 166 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: He can't live without it. How will the people of 167 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Maine react to all of this Platinu information. 168 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: Well, you know, the people of Maine are rugged, individualistic, 169 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: We're independent minded folks and common sense. I mean, I 170 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 4: think we're absorbing a lot of information coming out about Platiner. 171 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: But the thing that I'm bearing in mind as we 172 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: go into this general election is Maners have been suffering 173 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 4: under the way of governor Democrat governor and Democrat House 174 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: and Senate for the last eight years. And we have 175 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 4: energy costs that have skyrocketed up forty since twenty twenty. 176 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: We pay sixty three percent of of the national average 177 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: for electricity. If we if you're looking at someone who 178 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: earns under one hundred thousand dollars a year in Maine, 179 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 4: which is most Maners. 180 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 5: We pay the. 181 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: Highest state income tax in all of New England. And 182 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 4: so Maynors are suffering under this weight and most of 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 4: us don't know who to blame. Right You look at 184 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: the who's in charge in the White House and think 185 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: that's who is to blame, But really state government bears 186 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: a responsibility there. Mayners are looking for a savior they think, 187 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 4: some of them think that that is Grand Platiner. And 188 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: so it's our job to make sure that we expose 189 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: the lies, expose what he really promises, to bring just 190 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: more pain to manors if he ends up in DC, 191 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 4: so that they stand by their common sense roots and 192 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: vote for Susan Collins. 193 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Do you think the what did the odds this guy 194 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: can break through? Now we keep hearing and I'll ask 195 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: you about this. You don't mind, Laurel First, what do 196 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: you think is going to happen between now and the 197 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: twenty seventh? Because I think there's going to be a 198 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: lot of pressure brought to bear on Platner by nationalists, 199 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: by some national Democrats quietly that he has a window 200 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: where he could bow out of this race. There's a 201 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: little known provision in Maine that would allow him to 202 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: bow out of the race. Then Democratic operators would pick 203 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: or choose his replacement, which I assume would be the 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: current governor Mills. So would he give into that pressure 205 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: with whatever percentage you won with last night seventy five, 206 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: seventy six. 207 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 4: Percent, I don't see that happening. Based on what we've 208 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 4: seen of Platner, his ego his hubris. He thinks he's 209 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 4: indestructible because his base loves him even more with every 210 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 4: scandal that appears. I don't see him dropping out unless 211 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: something actually straight up illegal comes out, more legal than 212 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 4: buying drugs in foreign countries, which he's already you know. 213 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: And do you agree with me that a lot of 214 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: this zop research did not come from Republicans, that it 215 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: all came from Democrats trying to push him out. 216 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's been a mixed bag. Everybody has 217 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: their own reason to want Platner out of the race, 218 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 4: and so that's surprising to me that we didn't see 219 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: more of this come out when Mills was in the race, 220 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 4: because you know, the results last night might have been 221 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 4: a little bit different had it come out earlier. 222 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: Let's get your final thoughts if you don't mind, Steve Robinson, 223 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: and by the way, I urge people to read the 224 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: main Wire if you want to know about Plattner. 225 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 5: Well, I would agree with everything Laurel said, but you know, 226 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 5: I think that Plattner has reached his ceiling here and 227 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 5: it's going to take a little while for people in 228 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 5: Maine to learn exactly who he is. And the shock 229 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 5: factor of you know, having the Nazi tattoo isn't the 230 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 5: significant thing here. The significant thing here is that he's 231 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 5: lied about it over and over and over again. And 232 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 5: I think that there's plenty of time remaining to convince 233 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 5: people that I is a pathological liar, and more information 234 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 5: is going to come out, not through partisan opposition research 235 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 5: or hit jobs, but just through good old fashioned research journalism. 236 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 5: I mean, like, we found and reported that Graham Platner 237 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 5: was the running of paramilitary training for the Socialist Rifle 238 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: Association of Maine. He admits to this in his Reddit thread, 239 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 5: his infamous Reddit thread, but we also found pictures of 240 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 5: him on the range training a far left Antifa type 241 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 5: group how to take rifle shots that human shaped targets 242 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: from seventy five yards out, and he calls him self 243 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 5: defense training courses. So the amount of potential stories for 244 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 5: a willing journalist to find in Graham Platner's background, I 245 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 5: think there's a lot a lot there. And we still 246 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 5: haven't heard, by the way, from anyone who served with 247 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 5: him in the military, which I find very curious. 248 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Will you please keep up the great work if people 249 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: want to read about what you're printing about him. Where 250 00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: can they get main. 251 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 5: Wire everything that vnamewire dot com? 252 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: All right, appreciate you also, Laurel Libby, State Rep. Romaine. 253 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Thank you both. We will follow this very closely all 254 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: the developments, especially now through the twenty seven see if 255 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: they get up to the dirty tricks keeping the truth alive. 256 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: Nity is on right now, all right, so it's summertime, 257 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: all right, quick break right back to our busy phones. 258 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: Here's our toll free number.

Smith. I want to say 264 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: up front so there's no ambiguity. Stephen A. Smith and 265 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: I are best friends. I love this guy. We have 266 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: been friends, Linda. You were friends with him before me 267 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: and I was. But we've been friends for decades, right 268 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: m hm. 269 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: That's true. 270 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: And he takes a lot of crap for being my friend, 271 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: and I take a lot of crap sometimes with being 272 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: his friend. To be honest, but we don't let that 273 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: get in the way. We don't have political differences getting 274 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: the way. I don't know what has happened. He's going 275 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: to be on TV tomorrow night and it should be 276 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: very entertaining. But he was apoplectic that Donald Trump was 277 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: going to the Nick game the other night. I mean, 278 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: he just lost it. He has no business being Donald 279 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: Trump's been a Nick fan forever. And then we have 280 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: the pictures to prove that he's been at the garden, 281 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: you know, going back to when the Knicks were actually 282 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: a relevant team, which they haven't been until this year 283 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: for a long long time. All Right, that's a whole 284 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: separate issue. He's the president. He goes to sporting events, 285 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: he goes to more than anyone else. And he says 286 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: he has no business showing up in New York City 287 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: for a k next game. Why not? 288 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 6: Player is strictly a basketball segment. This president has no 289 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 6: business showing up in New York City. I am dead serious. 290 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 6: It is selfish, it is narcissistic. It is ridiculous that 291 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 6: he is coming to this game. I would say the 292 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 6: same thing if it were Obama, George W. 293 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: Clinton. 294 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 6: I don't give a damn. We went back to Reagan. 295 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: This is not a football. 296 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 6: Stadium in some space in Texas where you've got a 297 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 6: whole bunch of outlays and all of this. This is 298 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 6: the garden. This is midtown Manhattan. You have any idea 299 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 6: what the congestion is going to be like in New 300 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 6: York City. 301 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: Here the first thing I'd say to Steve and I 302 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: look at the skyline in New York and Trump built 303 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: out a lot of those buildings. All right. Then the 304 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: best part, and it even gets better after this part. 305 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: He blames Trump that the Knicks lost. The Knicks didn't 306 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: lose because Donald Trump went to the game. The mom 307 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: Nadi curse was fun because it went on for so 308 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: long with the Mets after he hugged mister Mett. But 309 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't blaming Donnie in real life that the Mets 310 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: were losing. Donnie curse. There's one game that Trump goes to, 311 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: and he's blaming Trump for the fact that San Antonio, 312 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: which has a very good team, these games have been 313 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: very close that they won. 314 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 6: Listen, he should have been ashamed of himself for disrupting 315 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 6: that is, showing up to the game in game three, 316 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: And I do blame him for the loss because, as 317 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 6: far as I'm concerned, it disrupted the momentum. I'm a 318 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 6: New York Knicks fan. Everybody knows that, so is. He 319 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 6: saw all of us as New Yorkers, and in the 320 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 6: world of sports, you do get a bit superstitious at times. 321 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 6: Whatever is working, don't disrupt it. The New York Knicks 322 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 6: won seven thirteen straight playoff games, too shy of a 323 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 6: record tye in the Golden State wards of twenty seventeen, 324 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 6: and it got ruined the moment Donald Trump showed dumb 325 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 6: damn right, I blame him. I said it before and 326 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: I'm saying it again now. 327 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: Linda, listen to this. This is Stephen A saying if 328 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: they lose the series, and I don't think Trump has 329 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: any plans. I've not heard any plans or read about 330 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: any plans for President Trump to go to any more games. 331 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: But now he's saying, whether Trump goes or not, if 332 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: the Knicks lose the series, that it's going to be 333 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault.

Even soft on crime. Da Bragg would find 379 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: him guilty. 380 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it was. It was painful to watch. Boss. 381 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 9: I got to say, as somebody who's and I just 382 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 9: let the audience know I am not an expert on basketball. However, 383 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 9: I have a house full of kids that all want 384 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 9: to watch these games, and so I'm seeing them. And 385 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 9: I happened to look up when Wemby had that technical 386 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 9: foul against one of the NIXT guys, and it was 387 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 9: aggressive and then he said, no technical foul. I'm like, okay, 388 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 9: I'm a regular person. I can tell you that that 389 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 9: was not okay. 390 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 2: But you know it's all. 391 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: Referee sucks most it does? 392 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 7: It does? 393 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not blaming them. I think they 394 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: got a hard job. 395 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 9: You know, he had an earlier part of his day 396 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 9: where he was, you know, drawing in Grammercy Park. I'll 397 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 9: bless him. He's got a softer side, but I didn't 398 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 9: see that definitely on the court. He was a bit 399 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 9: of a jerk in my opinion. 400 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: Now to stephen A, that's. 401 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: How the games played the next place, Oh yeah, no, no, 402 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: he was. He plays hard in the. 403 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 9: Wemby was I'm not talking about Brunson. Wemby was a 404 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 9: little girl. 405 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: Talking about the you're talking about the flagroom foul. All right, yeah, 406 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: it was a bad call. 407 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: It was a bad call. 408 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 9: But my point in stephen A is I don't think 409 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 9: that the president knows stephen A as well as he 410 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 9: needs to know him to make a comment like he 411 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 9: doesn't have a high i Q. 412 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: He's incredibly gifted. 413 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 9: He was a news news writer, you know, for the 414 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 9: Philadelphia Inquirer for a decade and crushed it every day. 415 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: To be But he's saying something else here. He's saying, 416 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: if you're blaming me for their loss, that is dumb. 417 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 2: No, no, no. 418 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 9: But I'm saying, like when he went at him for 419 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 9: his IQ and the presidenc scene, now, I completely disagree 420 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 9: with stephen A for saying that the president, you know, 421 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 9: has anything to do with their loss. And there's one 422 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 9: cut we didn't play, and I asked Ethan to grab it. 423 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 2: I was shocked by this. 424 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 9: I don't know if you saw this, but the NBA 425 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 9: commissioner came out.

They're freaking out because 441 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 9: the truth hurts right. Even Woopi Goldberg, who hates him 442 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 9: with a passion, defended his right to see the game. 443 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 444 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 11: Trump and ma'am Mom Dommy are Knicks fans and have 445 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 11: been their New Yorkers, and you can't There's nothing either 446 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 11: one of them can do to change what's happening in 447 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 11: the city for this team.

Richie, how are you? 464 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 7: Last week everybody was talking about Rush. I can't. I 465 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 7: still can't believe it's been five years he would be either. 466 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 7: In fact, the first time I heard you was filling 467 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 7: in for him. Now how far back I go? I 468 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 7: have to tell you a story. I asked Katie, could 469 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 7: I think Rush publicly on Seawan's there? She said, I 470 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 7: think you can. So here's the story. 471 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 8: Okay, the way I want to add to that, anytime 472 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 8: anyone wants to talk about Rush Limbaugh on this show, 473 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 8: of course they can, because he paved a path for 474 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 8: all of us, and we all in this business owe 475 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 8: him a debticude. 476 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 7: But go ahead, oh, without a doubt. So twenty three 477 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 7: years ago, We built our house in Pennsylvania and I 478 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 7: started teaching karate in the basement to four neighborhood kids 479 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 7: once a week for free. Well five weeks later I 480 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 7: was up to sixteen kids. Now my wife's going, do 481 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 7: you realize that someone gets hurt or homeowners insurance is 482 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 7: not going to covet this, which is true? I go, 483 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 7: what do I do? These kids is ready to test her, 484 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 7: yell about I can't just cut them loose. Then I 485 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 7: remember what Rush said years ago, said, if you have 486 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 7: a dream, follow it, chase it, don't sit on the 487 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 7: couch waiting for that dream to come to you. So 488 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 7: I said to my son Paul, who just made black belt, 489 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 7: I said, let's open up a school. And now it 490 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 7: all changes because you got rent, insurance, lights and all 491 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 7: of that. We opened up a school and we still 492 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 7: have it. Then we opened up two more schools. We 493 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 7: had three, and course of COVID. We had a clothes 494 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 7: two down. But if it wasn't for Rush pushing me 495 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 7: saying go after your dream, which I did, now we 496 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 7: still have one school. We're in business twenty five years 497 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 7: now because of him. He gave that push, and I 498 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 7: wanted to thank him. Publicly on your air and to 499 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 7: all the listeners.
