Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Sunday, December twenty first, and
Speaker 1: in this episode readings from the White House Walls has
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ now give you history according to President Trump.
Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and DJ.
Speaker 1: A lot of people, I think heard a little bit
Speaker 1: about this story, but your current president, President Trump, has
Speaker 1: given us a little history lesson of previous presidents and
Speaker 1: people rogues, frankly couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Speaker 2: Yes, these are well, it's a new installation as of
Speaker 2: this fall. I believe in September President Trump put in.
Speaker 2: He's been making his mark on the White House, tearing
Speaker 2: down the east wing, creating a new ballroom.
Speaker 3: But he has also created the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 1: Sounds lovely, tell me about it.
Speaker 2: So you walk along towards the east wing and you
Speaker 2: see these beautiful gilded photos, gorgeous picture frames of all
Speaker 2: these former presidents.
Speaker 3: So we saw this for a couple of months. Put
Speaker 3: it in September.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, Actually, it looks good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it looks really nice, elegant to all of that.
Speaker 2: And then he put up permanent plaques. Just was it
Speaker 2: this week last week?
Speaker 1: Last week that they were unveiled.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so.
Speaker 2: Unveiled the plaques basically the descriptions of aforementioned former presidents presidencies,
Speaker 2: just their contributions and their legacies.
Speaker 1: This is basic stuff, writing basic history. We have the
Speaker 1: general idea of all these guys, right, So this shouldn't
Speaker 1: be headline making, should.
Speaker 3: No, except for what is in the plaques.
Speaker 2: If you have been enjoying or actually looking at the
Speaker 2: President's truth Social account, you'll get a gist or an
Speaker 2: idea of what is in these plaques because they were
Speaker 2: written by Trump, almost as if he were writing a
Speaker 2: truth social post about each of the presidents, whatever he
Speaker 2: thinks about them, with whatever punctuation, exclamations.
Speaker 1: Punctuation and caps included, right.
Speaker 3: All caps.
Speaker 2: But everything that he writes down is through the lens
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I found now this one. There's a lot
Speaker 1: that goes on with President Trump that people will are
Speaker 1: disturbed by or think it has a greater implication, a
Speaker 1: more serious implication. This was one that was so far
Speaker 1: bizarre and like nothing we'd ever heard before. Then I
Speaker 1: did laugh a little, and I didn't know if I
Speaker 1: was supposed to take it seriously, and wondered if people
Speaker 1: were taken into too seriously. So let's set that up robes.
Speaker 1: The portraits are done well, the portraits are done all
Speaker 1: the previous presidents. No big deal there except and so
Speaker 1: let's set the tone here for the for this wall.
Speaker 1: There's only one president out of all of our presidents
Speaker 1: that does not have an actual portrait of said president
Speaker 1: along this wall. Even though there is a photo there,
Speaker 1: it's not a portrait of the president, just one.
Speaker 2: Yes, the picture is not a portrait of President Joe
Speaker 2: Biden or former President Biden. Instead, it's a picture of
Speaker 2: an auto pen signing Joe Biden's name.
Speaker 1: I found this funny. I have to tell you, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I found this frickin' if this stay this.
Speaker 2: Was this were, if this were something to be laughed at,
Speaker 2: where there was a joke, and then they actually did
Speaker 2: have the photo and maybe, like I don't know, the
Speaker 2: next day they put his photo up.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Swamp, but this is so childish fine, and that makes
Speaker 2: it hilarious.
Speaker 1: I find it. I guess I find it harmless. And
Speaker 1: that it's at the White House, not a lot of
Speaker 1: people are gonna see this. This is along a certain yes, childish, petty.
Speaker 1: All those words have been used to describe this move.
Speaker 1: But sweetheart, all the presidents have an actual presidential portrait there,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have the man's face. It's an auto
Speaker 1: pen signature of Joe Biden. That's funny. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's fun It's so petty that it's hilarious. It is
Speaker 1: so you cannot believe that this office and this president
Speaker 1: it's coming out of there. But it's almost I want
Speaker 1: to be I'll give him a pass. It's so it's
Speaker 1: almost a joke. But he's treating the walls of the
Speaker 1: White House like the walls of Marlago or Trump Tower.
Speaker 1: It's his home and I'm gonna do with it what
Speaker 1: I want.
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of exactly what we heard from Fox
Speaker 2: News when one of the anchors actually had I don't
Speaker 2: want to say the courage, but to actually say, hey,
Speaker 2: this isn't for me, this.
Speaker 3: Childish thing that he's doing. And it's so funny.
Speaker 2: You mentioned that because it was Jesse Waters who said, well,
Speaker 2: guess what, it's his house for now, for the next
Speaker 2: three years, maybe more, and so he can decorate it
Speaker 2: any way he wants. That is what Jesse Waters of
Speaker 2: Fox News said, and it sounded a lot like what
Speaker 2: you just said.
Speaker 1: But I agree with kill meat as well. It's not
Speaker 1: for me. How oh, okay, we're going to get into
Speaker 1: why it's not for me, and I'm not sure which
Speaker 1: part you have to tell me about kill me what
Speaker 1: we're talking about here. At least the plaques.
Speaker 3: Go too far, that's what he says.
Speaker 1: The joke of the picture is so silly that I
Speaker 1: just have to laugh at it. So I'm not offended
Speaker 1: by the photo situation, even though yes, you shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: The plaques were out of this world.
Speaker 2: They when we say they're jaw dropping, there is no
Speaker 2: other way to describe it, because you actually cannot believe
Speaker 2: that you are hearing. And we're going to read the
Speaker 2: plaques in their entirety, because look, you might have heard
Speaker 2: the story, you might have seen the headlines, but did
Speaker 2: you actually take the time to read each individual plaque.
Speaker 2: We're going to do that for you, so for your
Speaker 2: I hate to say entertainment, but that's really the only.
Speaker 3: Way you can look at it at this point.
Speaker 1: Education.
Speaker 3: Education.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to know, you have to know to
Speaker 2: have a formed opinion. So we are actually going to
Speaker 2: read to you the last several presidents plaques because this
Speaker 2: way you will understand what we're saying, like you'll have
Speaker 2: your own opinion.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you have to hear this yourself. You can't
Speaker 1: just get somebody to give you their or see interpretation,
Speaker 1: don't have right? The only two that have two plaques
Speaker 1: or Trump and Biden.
Speaker 2: Yes, because and you say two plaques, meaning there was
Speaker 2: so much to say, they had to put a second
Speaker 2: plaque beneath it to continue the stream of consciousness that
Speaker 2: is Trump's thinking.
Speaker 1: All right, so let's start. Let's start with Obama. We'll
Speaker 1: good up to a kind of a light start here. Okay,
Speaker 1: with Obama, but this is Obama's.
Speaker 2: Black Barack Hussein Obama was the first black president, a
Speaker 2: community organizer, one term senator from Illinois, and one of
Speaker 2: the most divisive political figures in American history. As president,
Speaker 2: he passed the highly ineffective Unaffordable Care Act, resulting in
Speaker 2: his party losing control of both Houses of Congress and
Speaker 2: the election of the largest House Republican majority since nineteen
Speaker 2: forty six. He presided over a stagnant economy, approved the
Speaker 2: terrible Iran nuclear Deal, and signed the one sided Paris
Speaker 2: Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President
Speaker 2: Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump. That's a truth social post. That absolutely is how
Speaker 1: he writes. Is this okay?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Obviously this isn't historically accurate, but I mean robes, it's
Speaker 1: his house. And that's a reminder here, folks, this is
Speaker 1: These are permanent bronze. What are the plaques, these fixtures
Speaker 1: on the wall.
Speaker 2: Beautifully, it's exactly like what you see at any sort
Speaker 2: of historical site in this country of significance, those bronze
Speaker 2: plaques that detail what happened here on this site at
Speaker 2: X year.
Speaker 3: That's what they look like.
Speaker 2: And so yes, it looks very official, it looks very presidential.
Speaker 2: And yet what's actually on those plaques is laughable.
Speaker 1: One term Senator was meant to be a most divisive.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but what's made me laugh.
Speaker 1: Afordable care is in quotes.
Speaker 2: Plenty of news organizations have actually gone through these plaques
Speaker 2: line by line to refute and fact check them. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're mostly actually incorrect.
Speaker 1: We get it, yes, don't most Americans get it by now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, actually, Barack Obama has the most the
Speaker 2: highest favorability rating of any of the last five presidents
Speaker 2: of the United States. Yes, No, that's what I've been reading,
Speaker 2: all of the refusion of what Trump put on these plaques,
Speaker 2: instead of not taking them so seriously and actually recognizing.
Speaker 3: How ridiculous they are.
Speaker 2: Good, I think that actually would be a better premise
Speaker 2: to build a news article or a news feature on
Speaker 2: that these are so insane let's all laugh along with them,
Speaker 2: because the need to fact check them actually gives it
Speaker 2: some sort of credibility that it doesn't even deserve in
Speaker 2: the first place.
Speaker 1: Very good point. Why are we You can't challenge you
Speaker 1: the most of this. You can't challenge. You can't challenge
Speaker 1: this stuff with facts. You can't challenge. You can't just
Speaker 1: throw a fact at President Trump and feel like you've
Speaker 1: done your job.
Speaker 2: No, because no, because we're the well anyone who isn't
Speaker 2: someone who he's anointed is the radical left wing you know,
Speaker 2: mainstream media, you know can't be trusted. A fine, But okay, fine,
Speaker 2: then let's also just acknowledge what we're looking at, which
Speaker 2: is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden has two plaques.
Speaker 3: This is insane.
Speaker 1: Go right ahead, this is plaque one.
Speaker 3: Sleepy Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: The plaque says that folks at the White.
Speaker 2: House, and actually it's not even in quotes for some reason,
Speaker 2: that would make it seem better, like it was his
Speaker 2: moniker that he gave him versus he just doesn't even
Speaker 2: have quotation marks around him. That's these sleepy Joe Biden
Speaker 2: was by far the worst president in American history?
Speaker 1: Can we stop? That's how it starts. This is at
Speaker 1: the White House. That's fascinating on a.
Speaker 2: Bronze plaque on the side of the passageway leading from
Speaker 2: the west wing to the residence.
Speaker 3: Right. Okay, so he sees.
Speaker 2: This every day when he walks past when he leaves
Speaker 2: his oval office and heads home. Taking office as a
Speaker 2: result of the most corrupt election ever seen in the
Speaker 2: United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that
Speaker 2: brought our nation to the brink of destruction.
Speaker 3: When was that.
Speaker 1: He oversaw our seat? So he was in office? What
Speaker 1: was that two thousand to Uh, it's on twenty one
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five. Yes, we were on the brink
Speaker 1: of destruction during those years. At some point twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: One, you're coming out of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, yeah, he got elected right off the pandic.
Speaker 1: But his policies. Apparently, his policies caused unprecedented disasters and
Speaker 1: we were on the brink of destruction.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: His policies caused the highest inflation ever recorded, leading the
Speaker 2: US dollar to lose more than twenty percent of its
Speaker 2: value in four years. His Green News scam surrendered American
Speaker 2: energy dominance, and by abolishing this southern border, Biden let
Speaker 2: twenty one million people from all over the world pour
Speaker 2: into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions,
Speaker 2: and insane asylums. His Afghanistan disaster was among the most
Speaker 2: humiliating events in American history and resulted in the murder
Speaker 2: of thirteen brave American service members, with many others gravely wounded.
Speaker 2: Seeing Biden's devastating weakness, Russia invaded Ukraine and Hamas terrorists
Speaker 2: launched the heinous October seventh attack on Israel.
Speaker 3: That's the first plaque.
Speaker 2: Basically, anything that was wrong or bad or horrible in
Speaker 2: the world is all the result of Biden's presidency.
Speaker 3: According to Donald Trump's plaque.
Speaker 1: Two wars were caused.
Speaker 3: By Biden's weakness.
Speaker 1: Where two wars were caused by Biden. Next plaque quoting here.
Speaker 1: Nicknamed both Sleepy and Crooked, Joe Biden was dominated by
Speaker 1: his radical left handlers. They and their allies in the
Speaker 1: fake news media attempted to cover up his severe mental
Speaker 1: decline and his unprecedented use of the auto pen. Following
Speaker 1: his human debate laws to President Trump in the Big
Speaker 1: June twenty twenty four debate, he was forced to withdraw
Speaker 1: from his campaign for reelection. In disgrace, Biden weaponized law
Speaker 1: enforcement against his political opponent while also persecuting many other
Speaker 1: innocent people. He left office issuing blanket pardons to radical
Speaker 1: democratic criminals and thugs, as well as members of the
Speaker 1: Biden crime family. But despite it all, President Trump would
Speaker 1: get re elected in a landslide and Save America. Save
Speaker 1: America is in all caps and an exclamation point at
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 2: It's like I'm hearing you read a Marvel comic book
Speaker 2: hero okay plot and President Trump is Superman and Joe
Speaker 2: Biden is lex Luthor.
Speaker 1: These are bob. I don't know that if what's okay?
Speaker 1: What's normal? When when do you stop and say this
Speaker 1: isn't like nobody can say it's to President this is
Speaker 1: a little crazy. Now even say, I'm going to get backlash, like,
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you for wanting to do this,
Speaker 1: for wanting to adorn this building with some permanent fixtures
Speaker 1: to a certain degree. Yes, they'll come down later when
Speaker 1: somebody else, of course they'll come down, but to adorn
Speaker 1: this place with this, Yes, it's your house and you
Speaker 1: could do what you want.
Speaker 2: But is it his house? I thought it was the
Speaker 2: people's house. And that's where I take issue with what
Speaker 2: jesse Water said.
Speaker 1: We are sing it to him.
Speaker 2: I understand we elected him as a country. I understand that,
Speaker 2: but it is still our nation's house that he is
Speaker 2: living in impermanently. He is a visitor there, and I
Speaker 2: understand that there are certain licenses that a president can take,
Speaker 2: and again through our election system, he's granted certain leniences for.
Speaker 3: The people's house.
Speaker 2: But this is disgusting in my opinion, to basically humiliate
Speaker 2: in permanent bronze plaques, men who have given their lives
Speaker 2: and sacrificed their time, their personal time, their ability to
Speaker 2: make money, their ability to do other things to serve
Speaker 2: this nation and were elected, and to like to smear
Speaker 2: their names, to impugne their presidencies.
Speaker 1: Their insults. Yeah, he's insulting them like a child would.
Speaker 1: It's cool. I'm not calling this you can't. I'm just
Speaker 1: this is not politics, This is not policy. If you're
Speaker 1: a great support of President Trump, you do ask yourself,
Speaker 1: do you think this is wonderful that you have no
Speaker 1: problem with it, or do you think, hey, everybody, calm down.
Speaker 1: You're taking this too seriously. He is the current occupant
Speaker 1: of that house. He can put a different rug in
Speaker 1: the oval office if he wants to. So why can't
Speaker 1: he redecorate some shit on the walls? Somebody could make
Speaker 1: that argument. I will say, fine, make the argument. He's
Speaker 1: done several decorations. My concern continues to be now Robes
Speaker 1: is that this isn't normal behavior. My problem is it's
Speaker 1: one thing you get in front of a microphone. This
Speaker 1: took planning, he had had to approve, He had to
Speaker 1: write these, that was back and forth. There were steps
Speaker 1: along the way. And if someone who has reached this level,
Speaker 1: this height, the greatest office on planet Earth, people will
Speaker 1: tell you, and he's doing this, that is not normal.
Speaker 1: That is not okay. I don't care, so are you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's just something that we all
Speaker 1: have to collectively look at and say that is bizarre.
Speaker 3: It all, Yes, agreed with you.
Speaker 2: And it also tells me that there's no one around him,
Speaker 2: or no one who he's surrounded himself.
Speaker 3: With that will call him on it. And it's this the.
Speaker 2: Emperor has no clothes scenario that is really scary. Who
Speaker 2: is going to be the person who isn't his yes man,
Speaker 2: who is willing to stand up to him to say, hey,
Speaker 2: this actually is going to look terrible, not just now,
Speaker 2: but especially ten years from now, fifty years from now.
Speaker 3: You care about your legacy, don't do this.
Speaker 1: I guess why this is where I'm yes to all
Speaker 1: of that legacy. Why somebody should at least be appealing
Speaker 1: to him in that regard that could appeal to his ego.
Speaker 1: But my issue is, why do we have to convince
Speaker 1: someone who is the president of the United States that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't do this. I am going to forget politics
Speaker 1: and what it looks like in pr and I am
Speaker 1: concerned that we're not looking at it is. This is
Speaker 1: not the behavior of a normal human being.
Speaker 3: Correct, who cares if you're a Democrat or a Republican.
Speaker 1: That is what I am trying. I don't know why
Speaker 1: why we're interpreting. We're holding him to a different standard,
Speaker 1: different bar and I'm almost I was saying it, this
Speaker 1: was funny at the top. This pictures like we're almost dismissive. No,
Speaker 1: you would never look at something like this and think
Speaker 1: of normal behavior.
Speaker 2: The only thing you said was funny was the picture.
Speaker 2: The picture, Yes, but when you start reading the plaques,
Speaker 2: there's nothing funny about it.
Speaker 1: All right. Hit him with the let's do the Clinton
Speaker 1: plaque he had. He's had more complimentary stuff, I guess
Speaker 1: about George. For the Republicans, we're going to got to
Speaker 1: get to the Reagan one because he had one line
Speaker 1: and that that was hilarious. But you got the Clinton one.
Speaker 1: The Clinton.
Speaker 2: So. Bill Clinton served as attorney general and governor of
Speaker 2: Arkansas before winning the presidency in what was called a
Speaker 2: major upset over President George H. W.
Speaker 3: Bush.
Speaker 2: As President, Clinton signed crime and Welfare legislation, which was
Speaker 2: passed with the leadership of Republicans in Congress. Yes he
Speaker 2: needed Republicans. He approved NAFTA, which President Donald J. Trump
Speaker 2: would later terminate as being bad for the United States,
Speaker 2: welcomed China into the World Trade Organization, and oversaw NATO's
Speaker 2: military intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo. Despite the scandals that
Speaker 2: plagued his presidency, the tech boom of the late nineteen
Speaker 2: nineties resulted in excellent economic growth, which helped him and
Speaker 2: Republicans in Congress delivered balanced budgets for the first time
Speaker 2: in decades. In twenty sixteen, President Clinton's wife Hillary lost
Speaker 2: the presidency to President Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump.
Speaker 1: Might be my favorite line of all the plaques.
Speaker 3: That was his way of getting at him.
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is he completely skipped over where
Speaker 2: he could have absolutely skewered him with, you know, being
Speaker 2: impeached and perhaps doing something under the desk of the
Speaker 2: Oval office with Monica Lewinsky.
Speaker 3: So it's interesting gives.
Speaker 2: Him a full pass on that and actually gives him
Speaker 2: credit for, with the help of Republicans, the economic boom.
Speaker 2: So he actually went really fairly lightly on Clinton.
Speaker 1: We talked about this a couple of days ago. This
Speaker 1: was my favorite part. She was never elected president and
Speaker 1: he got an insult into Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 3: And not once but twice.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, folks, these are great, but I assure
Speaker 1: you you ain't heard nothing yet. We will share with
Speaker 1: you the double plaque text about President Trump, what he
Speaker 1: said about himself on the wall. Also, how does the
Speaker 1: White House defend this? Yet? You better believe Carolyn Levitt
Speaker 1: had an answer. All right, folks, well continue here quickly
Speaker 1: on Amy and TJ. I get you through some of
Speaker 1: these uh uh, some of these plaques we've been talking about.
Speaker 1: He was more complimentary, obviously to the Republicans than the Democrats,
Speaker 1: and it really had He hates Biden, by the way,
Speaker 1: if we.
Speaker 3: Didn't know this really obvious.
Speaker 2: He hates He doesn't like Obama, but he hates Biden.
Speaker 3: Doesn't mind Clinton so much, and likes Bush and Reagan.
Speaker 1: But he looked like he wanted Obama to be his
Speaker 1: absolute best friend. At Carter's funeral.
Speaker 3: They were it up, it up like whatever they were
Speaker 3: saying hilarious.
Speaker 1: It was too much like he wanted to be with
Speaker 1: the cool kids, kind of like he was over the top.
Speaker 1: And how he was the hangar fascinating to watch. Okay,
Speaker 1: now you have the Reagan one up in front of him.
Speaker 1: The Reagan one is hilarious. If we don't have to
Speaker 1: go through the whole one, if you can share the
Speaker 1: thing at the bottom. Okay, so he goes through. He's
Speaker 1: very complimentary about Reagan, but then he closes with a doozy.
Speaker 2: He was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long
Speaker 2: before President Trump's historic.
Speaker 3: Run for the White House.
Speaker 2: Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his exclamation point.
Speaker 1: What do you do with that?
Speaker 3: That sounds like check? Yes? Do you like? Can we
Speaker 3: go out together or not? It sounds like elementary school.
Speaker 1: But that one, I don't mind. He's not insulting somebody. Fine,
Speaker 1: if you want to be look at me. Everybody loves me.
Speaker 1: Do that you could? That one is petty in a way.
Speaker 1: I don't mind so much. It's not mean.
Speaker 2: It just brings it back to him, which is what
Speaker 2: he does. In all, it's all viewed through the lens
Speaker 2: of Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump.
Speaker 1: So how does Donald J. Trump view Donald J. Trump?
Speaker 1: All Right, we will give you now he does again,
Speaker 1: has two plaques. So much greatness in here. He can't
Speaker 1: get it on one plaque, So we start with plaque
Speaker 1: number one, which guy.
Speaker 2: In twenty sixteen, campaigning under the slogan make America great Again,
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump became the first person in American history
Speaker 2: to become president without previously whole political office or serving
Speaker 2: as an officer in the military.
Speaker 1: That's actually impressive. That is inting.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: After beating sixteen other candidates at the Republican primary, he
Speaker 2: went on to defeat.
Speaker 3: Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton second mention in an.
Speaker 2: Electoral College landslide of three oh four to two two seven,
Speaker 2: representing an unprecedented realignment that turned the so called blue
Speaker 2: Wall of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin into future election battlegrounds.
Speaker 1: Okay, we stopped there. That was plaque number one. So
Speaker 1: we heard everything in there as one hundred percent accurate. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is not him being arrogant, That is not him
Speaker 1: using blusted, that is not him using superlatives. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this and I need to give him credit.
Speaker 1: Every bit of that is right. He did that. Now,
Speaker 1: he threw in their unprecedented realignment. He threw in there.
Speaker 1: What was the other one here a landslide. A lot
Speaker 1: of people described it that way. You know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give him credit for that plaque.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna give him credit for that one. Okay,
Speaker 2: plaque number two. During his historic first term in office,
Speaker 2: President Trump signed the largest tax cuts in history, built
Speaker 2: a booming economy, eliminated a record number of federal regulations,
Speaker 2: rebuilt the United States military, terminated the Iron Nuclear Deal,
Speaker 2: and the Paris Climate Accords.
Speaker 3: Ended the NAFTA.
Speaker 2: Disaster, destroyed the Isis Caliphate, signed the historic Abraham Accords,
Speaker 2: and created the greatest economy in the history of the
Speaker 2: world and like the greatest capital letters at the top
Speaker 2: of all of that.
Speaker 3: He also saved millions of lives around the world with
Speaker 3: Operation Warp Speed and his response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, that's whine. I mean, that's that's not unexpected.
Speaker 3: That's it's just hilarious. He is superman.
Speaker 1: It's I just still if we think if we are
Speaker 1: treating this as if you know, like everybody's got like
Speaker 1: an uncle or some family. Oh that says uncle, t
Speaker 1: Is that what we're doing. Oh, that's just President Trump.
Speaker 2: I think that is what we're doing. But did you
Speaker 2: happen to see what Gavin Newsom did. He's put up
Speaker 2: his own plaque of President Trump very much in the
Speaker 2: same way God and he so then why worry I do?
Speaker 2: Here we have Gavin Newsom, the California governor, left leaning
Speaker 2: who is considered to be one of the front runners
Speaker 2: potentially he's the guy right now. Fine, he's the guy.
Speaker 2: But he wrote a plaque out for Trump that is
Speaker 2: exactly the way Trump wrote it about everyone else. So
Speaker 2: he's meeting him at his level. And that is a
Speaker 2: little concerning to me.
Speaker 1: You know, will this go away? Is he re establishing
Speaker 1: politics or will this go away when he goes away?
Speaker 1: And I do get concern. Look, Gavin Newsom's gotten a
Speaker 1: lot of attention because he has done this, because he
Speaker 1: is looking and teasing and playing in that, and that's
Speaker 1: the concern. Yeah, you know what, that is a concern
Speaker 1: I would have. But but will this go away when
Speaker 1: Trump does know JD. Vance isn't going to be doing
Speaker 1: this stuff as the nominee.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. So well, Gavin Newsom, then rise
Speaker 2: back up. Can I just read you the first like
Speaker 2: two lines to give you? He says, Donald is fished.
Speaker 2: So this is his plaque. Donald is finished. This is
Speaker 2: as if he won the presidency. He is no longer hot.
Speaker 2: First the hands so tiny and now me, Gavin C.
Speaker 2: Newsom have taken away his step. Many are saying he
Speaker 2: can't even do the big stairs on Air Force one anymore.
Speaker 2: Uses the little baby stairs now sad exclamation point. I
Speaker 2: don't like that all the television cameras are on me
Speaker 2: America's favorite governor, like he goes on and I'm telling
Speaker 2: you it's it's it's scary.
Speaker 1: I don't Yes, okay, I don't like that. A lot
Speaker 1: of people will say, look, they're just having some fun
Speaker 1: in their meeting people at Maybe that gets more attention
Speaker 1: on TikTok on social media somewhere and doing it that way, but.
Speaker 2: It's an eye for an eye kind of a thing,
Speaker 2: and it's not what I would hope we could learn
Speaker 2: from what we're seeing. So we're seeing this and that's
Speaker 2: the response on the other side.
Speaker 1: This is one where I we've used it, and I've
Speaker 1: said it several times jokingly, but Michelle Obama, when they
Speaker 1: go low, we go high. You remember that, right, That's
Speaker 1: very famous. I've joked about it plenty of times.
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things she's ever said, when
Speaker 2: they go And I used to say this sometimes jokingly
Speaker 2: with you, right, Mochelle Obama, or when she said when
Speaker 2: they go low, kick them.
Speaker 1: I've said it jokingly, yes, but it feels I don't
Speaker 1: like mixing it up and being dismissive. He is resetting
Speaker 1: politics and how we talk to each other.
Speaker 3: That's the concern.
Speaker 1: That is a problem Robes and this is not you
Speaker 1: know what we planned this episode out. I just laugh
Speaker 1: through some stuff. And now I'm sitting here almost sweating.
Speaker 1: And the idea that the guy I didn't know you
Speaker 1: had to Gavin new someone. I just think it we're doing.
Speaker 1: We're all right, let's muddy it up and is if
Speaker 1: it's funny. No, I won't Gavin Newsom to elevate. I
Speaker 1: want him to look different from the rest of the politics.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get somebody in that same arena.
Speaker 2: Because they're seeing, okay, well this worked for Trump and
Speaker 2: rallying his base, so maybe this will work for us,
Speaker 2: maybe our base. But I think that's so sad.
Speaker 1: That's maybe we're old fogies, and maybe this is how
Speaker 1: politics is supposed to be done with a different generation,
Speaker 1: and you have to do this and mix it up.
Speaker 1: But I am not a fan of my president.
Speaker 2: Neither are I think most Americans. I think if you
Speaker 2: ask people, I don't. Yes, there are always going people
Speaker 2: think you that's hilarious, Hell yeah, keep it up.
Speaker 3: But I think most people are not okay with that?
Speaker 1: All right, folks, I'm sorry, this one's signed.
Speaker 3: Why did you have to get Carolyn, we have to
Speaker 3: get care?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah please? Oh oh yes, that they were obviously
Speaker 1: they were asked questions about this, and I guess, no surprise.
Speaker 1: I have answer ready and justified pretty easily.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's actually like this is actually this this
Speaker 3: scares me almost more than the plaques themselves.
Speaker 2: Here's what Carolyn Levitt said in response to the reaction
Speaker 2: to the plaques. The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of
Speaker 2: each president and the legacy they left behind. As a
Speaker 2: student of history, many were written directly by the president himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're awesome. They're awesome. Okay that that answer shouldn't
Speaker 1: surprise us. None of this should surprise us. I just
Speaker 1: wonder at what point are we going to say it
Speaker 1: concerns us.
Speaker 2: See, I actually think it should surprise us. I think
Speaker 2: we should still be surprised.
Speaker 3: At this type of language.
Speaker 2: And you're right, I do appreciate the fact that it
Speaker 2: needs to offend us.
Speaker 3: To the point where we actually say something.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Did what? What are we? What?
Speaker 3: I don't know what appalled?
Speaker 2: I think are and embarrassed. I'm appalled and embarrassed because
Speaker 2: that is our president. I know we can all kind
Speaker 2: of say it's your president.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's our.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anytime we go anywhere in the world as Americans, that
Speaker 2: is our president.
