110624 Jimmy Hour 2

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
All right, great to have you one of the post mortems.
I wonder what happened is the choice of Tim Walls,
what things have been differently with Josh Shapiro. That'll be
a book that will be written. However, when you win Wisconsin,
you didn't need Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Well, we'll find out a lot of a lot of
a lot of moving parts. Walking with the show, Jimmy
Lakey News Talk six hundred K col Let me bring
into the conversation mister Steve Laffy. He predicted a Trump
Trump victory and he proves himself as I proved myself
to be right. Steve Laughy, good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
How are you, sir, Jimmie. I'm great. I have to
laugh because this Iowa poll over the weekend helped people
make a lot of money. And the last poll in Iowa,
and I saw last night when I was watching TV
people referring to it in gulping on Fox News, whoever

(01:12):
did this Iowa poll saying that that Trump was going
to lose Iowa by a wide margin as seniors flipped. Dude,
I mean these polls, as we've talked about for years. Years.
You and I have talked about it. Anybody reading them
is a numbskull. But you just have to be caustic,
and you have to be able to remove yourself from
what you want in many cases to see what's actually happening.

(01:33):
And most people on TV last night, it is so
god awful excuse my language, to watch this stuff last night.
I did it all last night, Jimmy, It's unbelievable to watch.
If I hear the word interesting one more time, I'm
going to throw up.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
What network were you watching?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was flipping between about four of them last night,
And it is amazing that these polls get covered so much,
even on talk radio, and yet you keep hearing the races.
They have internal polling that they pay attention to, and
I'm like, well, why don't these pole companies just do
the same thing, the internal polls, and that way we
get inaccurate.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Because evidently Kamala's internal.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Polls showed I should go to bed because this is
not going to be pretty, and Donald J. Trump's internal
polls showed this is going to be great. I'm going
to stay up late. Why doesn't everybody just do the
internal poll thing and forget all this other.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Crap because nobody wants to stick their neck out, not
for America, not the people running for president, not the
vice president candidates, not the people on TV. Nobody will
stick their neck out and tell people the truth. In
other words, this is everywhere. So I sent you of
an article yesterday. It was like four pm, and on
comes Carl Rove, the man who defeated me for the

(02:48):
United States, sentmmis and the cover of my book from
Penguin Books, right, and who spent all this money to
try to elect Lincoln Champion, who was never going to
win a Senate race. The man who cried when Romney
was loosely right, the main who cried on TV. His
bulbous head is staring at you ever since. And these
people never get replaced. And at about five pm Eastern time,

(03:11):
he said it was going to be the closest election
of all time. You know why he says that because
he doesn't want to go out in a limb like
I did over a month ago on your show. Right
by the way, I was on Australian TV last night
twice They called me back because early in the evening
I'm like, everybody can go to bed. This is the
race is over. As I said, a month ago, right,

(03:34):
two months ago, on your show, the race is over.
The people all know it, and that these younger people
all over the world doing this broadcast are like staring
at like even now they have other people that I'm saying,
it proves to be interesting, right, I mean mister Hemmel
who's on Fox News running around who I did my
first national TV show with about crossing guards, believe it

(03:54):
or not. Right, great guy, totally great guy. But he
has to keep saying this, rud, this is interesting, this
is interesting, So it's not interesting, like you know what's
going on. By the time I turned on the TV,
I knew what was going on. I knew it a
month ago. Remember I said, when Liz Cheney is campaigning
door to door with you, and you are a far
left ere the farthest left of any US senator, even

(04:15):
Bernie Sanders, you're losing and you know you're losing and
you're trying to protect yourself, but no one will say
that I said it on your show. This is why
it's so boring. But the answer, it's like, what did
I watch? The greatest interview last night was turning over
to watch Sam Donaldson.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh, I saw that Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
My god, I thought he was dead and he looked
dead on the television. I mean, they should at least
trim his eyebrows before he got on television.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It was a rough one, but what he said was true.
You used to trust Walter Carncuk used to basically, I'm
terrified you used to trust me. These people anybody says
anything anywhere, and they do. And the people that with
the background. This is not to make fun of Sean
Hennity or a Joe. These people just carry the water.
They don't have any any back around and knowing like

(05:02):
or any vested interest in telling you, the listener of
the truth. Now, what does it get me to be
right about every election? Sense? Whatever? Right? Early on I
told people on this station twenty fifteen when Trump announced
that he would win in twenty fifteen, and I told
them why, and I said, it's all about China. And
there's a man lying in bed in Pennsylvania, in Ohio,

(05:24):
in Michigan, whatever. And he's lost his job making eighty
grand with over time, his kid's doing set and all
whatever I said back then, and he's looking at making
sixty he has no idea how to feed his family.
He's voting for Trump because the first got to say China.
And I said on April sixth on your show twenty
that Trump would lose. And I said, and the thing
was why, like you can't close down the economy. Plus

(05:44):
there's a man lying in bed who still didn't get
his job back because Trump didn't do anything about China
with his trade nonsense. Right, he didn't do anything. But
now those people had to come back. They had to
come back because they're not going to put up with
a man swim with their daughter in a swimming pool. Right. So, so,
as we talked about a couple of months ago, nobody

(06:06):
in the in the campaign of Harris was willing to
understand what the truly undecided voter wanted. They either wanted
Jimmy Lakey and Steve Laffey standing on a street corner
for them, or a highway saying I'll fix the roads.
Vote for me. Those six percent would be like, oh okay.
Or they wanted someone confident to be vice president, like

(06:27):
an astronaut. We've talked about this, or they wanted their
job back, right, or they simply didn't want to build
electric vehicles. Now, this whole thing in Michigan, which I
said he would win and no one believed me. Again,
was like, Michigan's a lot like Rhode Island, where I'm from.
In Rhode Island, it's really hard to beat the status
cold because everybody, like Uncle Henry works for the state.

(06:47):
He'll get fired if Laffy wins, right, Oh my gosh,
like because everybody's associated with the state government. That's what
they do in Rhode Island. Now in Michigan, it's about
auto stuff. And so these two days that go forward
shut down the production of electric vehicle trucks. These people
are gonna lay off people because they've lost billions. And

(07:08):
those people are like, it's like my uncle Joe, he's
still in that production line. I got to vote for
Trump because this person, Biden Harris. They're shutting down everything
to do with my ball bearing factory that's associated or
whatever's going on associated with cars, and they change their
vote on the margin. It's not that hard, but it happens.
And I guess nobody else sees this stuff until after

(07:30):
it's over where it's not interesting. It's like then you
get that work, like if you're watching TV lesson, you
get that worry thing going on at CNN. It's not impossible,
but it seems improbable with a bunch of numb nuts. Right,
So these people like they literally hate the audience, and
the audience sits there and takes it from them. Every
night because it's not interesting, you bring back a bunch

(07:51):
of retreads. I mean, Chris Cuomo does a great job.
I watched him when I could, and he had another
Democratic guest, an older man. If you watch this guy,
he was I guess he ran Clinton's second election. He's
like these Democrats blah blah blah these days. He didn't say,
you know, words that you couldn't say about what they're
really supporting. But he says, that's not a democratic union thing.

(08:13):
That's not what we did. That coalition's go on and
that's what happened on the margin. But last night it's
so hard to watch. Had a bunch of kids home,
so we did watch it. But it's hard to watch
and watch people say the word interesting over and over again.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
It was hard to watch because there's so much of
just kind of as you're talking about, the lack of
wanting to naval gaze is what I call it, and
do some true reflection.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean the fact that.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Kamala Harris's first decision as a candidate was to choose
Tim Walls, who might be the dumbest guy to ever
have been a vice presidential nominee ever. I mean, just
he was a horrible pick. But the media still won't
say why did she pick him rather than Josh Shapiro.
It's because of her party has become an anti submitted

(08:57):
party and they couldn't have the Jewish guy just say it,
admit it, but we can't say it, and said we
have to say that Tim Walls is some brilliant guy,
like he's some intellectual giant, but the guy's an idiot.
I mean, the horrible decision by Kamala. She would have
fared much better with a different pick.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Except for Eagleton in seventy two or whatever, who had
electric shock treatment. Waltz was the worst vice presidential pick
of all time. But it goes back even a month
earlier than that, when I said on your show that
if they want to win, they need to have this
convention of blood letting, yelling, screaming amongst seven, eight, twelve,
can it whatever it is, and then go with yeah,

(09:38):
the astronaut you know, or someone that's competent and that
way did not associate it. And the second thing that
never happened that I said had to happen. Tamila Halett
Harris had to go to Joe Biden, even if he
didn't understand, in front of Joe Biden, who would understand
and say, for the next four months, I am throwing
you under the bus on these four issues, like I'm

(09:58):
just gonna say, you set me down the border to fail,
you suck and it didn't work. And here's what I'm
gonna do about the border because I couldn't throw you
under the bus until I was a candidate. That's number one,
number two, and just make up three four issues and
then throw them under the bus because here saying her
saying I don't know any difference between me and Joe
Biden means they're trying to elect someone with a thirty

(10:19):
eight percent approval rating, which doesn't happen in America, right,
So they didn't even do the basics. That would be
the basics. If anybody listen, if you're running for office
and that happens to you, you have to go to
the guy stilling off and say I love you, but
I'm throwing you under the bus on these four issues,
and that's the only way I can win. And they
refuse to do this stuff. So they wanted to lose.
Remember we talked about they're all campaigning to lose in

(10:41):
a way, but Harris is campaigning to lose it in
the worst way. They were campaigning to lose. Liz Cheney,
you've gotta be Kidney, Tim Waltz making We're going to
end the war for the Muslims. Gets who took Dearborne,
Michigan Trump where the Muslims live.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, it's just fascinating, gonna get it. It just takes some
honest reflection to kind of look at it, and we
take you and I take honest reflection at the Orange
guy and Trump and his administration. I mean, in the
grand scheme of things, Donald Trump's gonna have two years.
He's gonna really have one year. It looks like he's
in a house in the Senate. Get one year done,
then everybody's gonna start gearing here for the midterm, and

(11:15):
then he's a lame duck after that because everybody's running
for the presidency. So anybody out there thinking that Donald
Trump's gonna come with some big magic wand and change
America forever. It's he's got eight twelve months here and
we'll see how it goes. But after that we're onto
another cycle. Just be realistic about the expectations. Set your expectations,

(11:37):
and unfortunately people just don't do that. They say, oh,
I drink the red kool aid, I drink the blue
kool aid, and they're my messiah. And there's not a
lot of reality checking in politics. And the reality check
is that Kamala Harris when she said she would change
nothing about Donald about Joe Biden, and then she's campaigning
on the slogan I'm a new way forward and not

(11:59):
on a new way forward.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
This is a new generation of leadership.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I'm like, neither one of those are true, and yet
nobody wanted to check around that and say, how are
you a new way forward and a new generation when
you won't change anything about the old way forward and
the old generation. Nobody checked around that because it was
a great slogan and they drink blue kool aid.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
And Jimmy just think about like in twenty twenty eight,
I just make some predictions here, right, no one will
ever talk about Hispanic voters again. Do we talk about
Irish voters. Do we talk about Italian voters? Be comes
not the Hispanic people are now Americans like let it alone.
The Venezuelans who came in twenty years ago don't want
people get coming through the border illegally who are criminals.

(12:43):
They don't want it either. Right, But the Democrats didn't
see this at all, and so also anybody thinks it's
a panacea. Now, interest rates are still going higher, inflation
is still coming back and instant. When Elon Musk gets
in charge of cutting out billions and trillions out of
the budget, we'll have a large recession. Now. If they're
willing to do that, and Trump is never willing to

(13:05):
do that, he could have a successful second two years
of his presidency. But if he doesn't do that, no
matter who's president, interest rates are rising when the Fed
cut rates, and if Trump thinks he can have a
shadowhead of the Fed, right then the dollar will star
is very strong today because people are covering positions, the
dollar will get very weak and inflation will be rising

(13:28):
above three or four percent. So he won't cure the problem.
But the one thing that I really hope happens that
the Democrats have never gotten hold of. I hope in
January that Clarence Thomas actually announces he's going to resign,
you know, he's going to retire, and they put in
a thirty five year old arch conservative, pro life guy.
And then a month later Sam Alito says, I'm retiring too,

(13:48):
thanks so much. And then you have the total control
of the Supreme Court with nine people because the Democrats
never do this right. But I think you'll see this
actually happen next year with those two people retired, because
we'll have fifty two fifty three votes and we won't
need that silly senator out of Maine to you know, Playcate.
We won't need that one goofy votes from that lady
in Maine who seems to want to be a Democratic

(14:11):
vote on the for the next year of Supreme Court
justice anyway. But that's that's something that should happen. Those
are good things to protect rights and so forth, and
you see a stock contrast in the Supreme Court that
actually happens to put some younger people on to protect
it for I don't know, twenty thirty years more. I
hope it's the last bashing of Hope in a sense.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, Steve Laughy my guest, and those that don't remember
Steve Laffier don't listen every week. Steve Laughey did not
vote for Donald J. Trump. He left the Republican Party
after running for president. So his analysis is not like
Trump's his boy, because Trump's not his guy, but he
does have the ability to look beyond the red kool

(14:50):
aid and the blue kool aid, which very few people have.
You sent me as a headline here that says Trump.
Campaign spokesperson says Trump has not received a call from
Harris or Biden. I don't know if I can place
odds on this in Vegas? Will he get the call
from somebody? Was he going to get a call?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well, it's so funny because when I won my first mayorship,
the guy wouldn't call me, you know, the richest man
in the city armngar obedience. So we actually had someone
call him and put me on the phone and he
said something like, you have blah blah blah. You know
I won by fifty three percent of voter race. I
wasn't supposed to win. I said, yes, he goes, good luck,
and he hung up. That was the call but Kamara
Harris should call. But these people are ungracious, right. But

(15:32):
the only problem for the New York Times in the
Washington Post is at the Senate now, there'd be no
more impeachments, right, So I mean someone may propose it,
it's just not going through. But yeah, these people will
be extraordinary sore losers, and you'll see the headlines all
over these people that they can't believe what happened. If
they have any common sense in the Democratic Party, there'll
be a meeting to say, listen, this train, this five

(15:53):
issues we're just doing away with. We's sorry. If you're
a man wearing a dress, we don't want you. We
don't want you around, you know. Or if you think
your kids should be swimming in a pool boys with
girls and dominating sports, We're never doing that again. I
don't think they're going to do that. And they may
be subjecting themselves to a minority party because if indeed
Trump gets someone that's like me, like me, it won't

(16:16):
be me.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
They hate me.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
But to be the budget director and you start seeing
massive cuts and federal workers and just this big war
over it like I had in a minor way and
Cramston when I did. I did that right. Then you'll
see physical conservatives say, Okay, I can do that again.
I can put up with the nonsense, but I can
do that. And the other thing about Trump is that
you really don't know what he's going to do. I

(16:39):
doubt and I'm just going to say this, folks, he
never get out of Afghanistan. I doubt he's gonna throw
Ukraine under the bus. There'll be something that'll happen, something
that will go on that this thing will be ending,
but it won't be throwing Ukraine under the bus. That's
not his style. His style is to be a great
marketing guy and then figure out how to get some

(17:00):
things done like the Abraham Accords, which he did in
foreign policy. So credit where it's due. But this budget
blowout that's going to continue. The other thing, Jimmy, do
you does anybody think that in the State of Union
dress Union address he's going to have a speech where
he doesn't tax tips? Well close to like, that's that's
forgotten by Trump already. So the promises he made to

(17:20):
waitresses is sort of out the window. They won't be
like a special lord that we don't tax tips.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
We'll see it's a pleasure. My friend.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I've got a couple of messages that said, uh that
they called me ambassador.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I've just thrown that out there. My friend's ambassador Laky.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's yeah. A couple of people have said that.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Everybody standon anyway, God, I've taken Rwanda. That's the one
I've been wanting for a while. I'll be back to
Lak six hundred k co l stand by. It's got
a great sound to it.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Really all right, welcome to the program. Glad to have

(18:37):
you here.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I got an invitation to do the show next year
from Las Vegas for the Shot show.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's going to start the day after the inauguration.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
And yeah, I went to both Bush inaugurations, got invited
to the Trump inaugurations. I did not go to the
Trump inaugurations. I had something else on the schedule. I
think it was in Africa, so that I don't remember
the I have it on the wall though, I have
the invitations up there. Let me walk home to the program.
Next guest of the morning, good to have you here
on the show, Jimmy Lenky. Is my name, Barb Kirkmeyer.

(19:08):
She's one uncontested last night her seat back in the
State Senate, Barb Kirkmeyer walking on the show.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Hey, thanks for having me on last night.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Were you at the party up in windsor where did
you watch the election results happened last night? I know
you didn't have much of a contest of your own,
but you were on the ballot.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Where did you watch it all?

Speaker 4 (19:32):
I was actually on Channel nine with commentary with Senator
Byron Telton and a couple of other folks.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, give us the rundown.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
A lot of folks obviously watching the White House race
Trump versus Old Kamala Harris, and it looked like it
turned out good for our team. A lot of folks
don't necessarily pay attention to who won on those state seats.
What's the rundown? How did we fare? Did we take
any ground back at the st legend the State Senate?

Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's still too close to call at this point. Like
in World County, there are still according to the clerk,
there are still about twenty one thousand ballots that need
to be counted. And I'm thinking tho, it's got to
be like down here from the south part of the
county some because our vote totals seem pretty low compared
to the rest of the state. So the clerk has

(20:23):
said that she hopes to be able to finish it
up today. I hope so too, because we're all sitting
on pins and needles. Because Ryan Gonzalez's currently I think
twenty one votes ahead of Mary Young, which would be
a seat that we would flip. And that's House District fifty,
so that's the Evans you know, East Greeley area, and
Dan Wug is currently down by two thousand votes, but

(20:47):
again I don't know, it just depends where those votes
are in Well County what that can mean for him,
and because I know, like my vote totals are down
even though I won because I basically I only had
to write in an opponent, but I'm only at like
fifty thousand and fifty one thousand votes, So there's a
lot of votes that still need to be counted today,

(21:09):
and I think they're probably in those areas. I know
for CD eight it's important, but it's you know, it's
this world County is behind and getting their ballots count
for you know, I don't as part of it's because
I think people wait till the very end and put
him in on the last day and can't get them
all counted then kind of thing. So that's going on.
But it looks like Ron Weinberg's coming back, Ryan Armags representative.

(21:34):
Weinberg represented Armagth coming back. Laurie Sander, who was running
in the open seat that Mike Lynch you know, created
when he decides to run for something else other than
the state representative. And she's well ahead, so she should
be fine. I'm just kind of going through the list.
Dusty Johnson who's running who has part of Well County
as well. She's also out through the Eastern Plains. She's

(21:57):
going to be fine, so she'll be returning. That was
the that hold Tworf previously held. And then Carlos Baron,
who is from Fort Lupton, He's he didn't have an opponent,
so he'll be back as well. For us, you know,
all Republicans and House District Cordy eight is where Carlos
Baron is from, and that is where Gabe Evans you know,

(22:18):
obviously didn't come back and run in that seat. So
it's it's all that being said, it's just still there's
a lot of us out there, so we just really
can't stay for sure.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
But other than the ones I just mentioned, I still
again I love Carly Copps's Tina Harris and area county there.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
They're great people.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I still just can't figure out how Florida gets twenty
six million votes counted in one night, like in three hours,
and we're still short twenty one thousand votes to go. Oh,
we just got an inundated on the day of I
think everybody's got to go to Florida and figure out
how the heck they do that. Because our France go
to France, they get all their votes kind of about
nine thirty that's an entire nation. And yet we have
counties across Colorado that are like, oh, we got a

(22:58):
lot of ballots on the election day.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
We don't know how to get them all counted. Love
all these people, but I just can't figure.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Out why we can't figure out how to get this
done the volume of it. Other other places do it,
entire nations do it, but we still struggle.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Baffles me, Barbara, but baffles me.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
I don't. I don't know either, And honestly, Jimmy, I
think the only thing I think of is they are
just taking extra precaution because you know, people, people's confidence
in elections has just been eroded, and it's gotten further.
I mean, and I'm not into the tran you know,
the conspiracy theory kind of stuff, but it's just it's
erote it, and you know, having things happen like with

(23:37):
what you know, our Secuary of State just did you know.
I'm not saying, you know, I'm not saying she should
have resigned or go to jail, but for God's sake,
it shouldn't have taken her a week to apologize or
put it, you know, for somebody putting those out on
the internet inadvertently kind of thing. So no passwords out
on the internet. So it just erotes confidence. And I

(23:57):
think our clerks, especially publican clerks, have been under so
much stress and kind of you know, under fire if
you will, for the last four years, but they weren't
doing their job that I think they're just maybe over compensating.
But honestly, I just don't know. I just know there's
still a lot of votes out there to be counted.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Again, I'm sure there's great explanation, and I trust these people.
I trust Carly Cops. I still just can't figure out
the delays, but that's okay. We move forward, Let's talk
about this Jenna Griswold thing. You're in the state Senate.
What are you kind of hearing on the scuttle butt?
I'm kind of sensing that the Democrats are not going
to carry her water on this topic. It kind of

(24:37):
got off the headline because of the election and the
election cycle, but this was a pretty big This is
one of many big blunders by Jennet Griswold. Are you
hearing anything about consequences? Some people have called for her resignation.
Is she just hoping it goes away? Are there people
that are like turning the long knives on her and
say you've got to go Because we're about to head

(24:58):
to gubernatorial there will be people starting to declare the
next several months for governor, and I'm guessing they would
like to see Jenna Griswalden not on that list.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
I think you're right. I think this probably hurt her
quite a bit. But I think the Democrats are just
trying to get through it. I don't think they're going
to make a big deal about it other than what
maybe you know, like what's been said already, you know
by Republicans essentially, But I think what will be interesting
is to see what happens come January, because some of

(25:33):
the first meetings that we have down into Capitol are
what are called Smart Act hearings, and she has to
appear between the Joint Committee. It'll probably be State Affairs.
She'll have to appear in front of them, and I
know that there will be a lot of Republicans that
will sit in on that committee and start asking her
questions and trying to figure out, you know, like what
she was doing. But here's here's the other thing that

(25:55):
Democrats have done in the past. Just in the last
I think it was in twenty three session, put into
law in the kind of like annual elections bill that
we seem to have, they put into law that she
can't use money to basically campaign why she's up for election,
you know, Like I think we all saw the commercials
you know, that she did in the that was in

(26:18):
twenty three or twenty two. It was in twenty two
that she did while she was up for election, and
it looks like she's using federal and state funds for electioneering,
and so they put it into law. I mean, that
was the Democrat Senator Fenberg, who was president at the
time of the of the he might have only been
a majority leader, I'm sorry, but one of those. But

(26:38):
he's the one who added that in to the election bill,
and we call it Jenner's Law, And quite frankly, I
took the language and used it in the Joint Budget Committee,
which is for Democrats on that Joint Budget Committee, and
we put it in as a footnote that said, we
want to make sure that it's very clear that the
money that we were putting in here general fund money,
cannot be used essentially for your electioneering. So it's that

(26:59):
kind of stuff. It happens behind the scene that people
don't see. But I think again, you see that even
the Democrats are upset with her, with the Secretary of
State as well, even though she's also Democrats. So we'll
see what they maybe do behind the scenes. But I
don't know, we'll.

by what has been six hundred k c O l

(28:12):
stand by, all.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Right, walking to the program.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
We've got messages coming again, people asking me who do
you think that, who do you think should be in
the cabinet? Who do you think Donald Trump's I have
not thought that through. Somebody happened yesterday and I said,
I don't have a mount rushmore of appointees. I do
think the most interesting thing that Trump will be able
to do. And again, manager expectation, kiddos, it's it's a

(29:23):
one term thing and he's done. You're gonna have a
midterm coming up. A lot of stuff needs to happen,
needs to happen soon. The biggest thing I think could
happen is what Steve Laughey said that if you have
another Supreme Court appointment that like a Clarence Thomas resigned
retired now that that could be long term effect. But

(29:46):
understand that it is just one guy, and it is
just one term, and you're heading into a midterm and
it's a lame duck term. So there is that. So
manager expectations. If you thought that Jesus was writing in U,
I think there'll be some good things, don't get me wrong,
But I also think manage your expectations. That Rome was

(30:08):
not broken in the day. It's not going to be
repaired to today. We can just take one step forward.
I think one of the key things that I would
like to see happen is the want to see the
Justice Department. I want to get back to this thing.
We have a couple of areas, and I think most
people you look at data poll, they question the sanctity

(30:29):
of our elections. And that's a state issue. We have
that with Jenna Griswald to just kind of wonder whether
or not everything is being taken care of properly. But
the other thing nationally is the weaponization of our Government's
Kamala Harris saying, hey, Donald Trump's going to come into office,
He's gonna have a list of people he wants to

(30:49):
go after, and it's going to have an enemy's list. Well,
they've had an enemy's list and Donald Trump has been
the top of that enemy's list. And so evidently both
signs are worried about the weaponization of our legal system,
and I think that needs to be addressed immediately. We
have seen the weaponization of our legal system Steve Bannon
being locked up and Purp walked into prison, and it

(31:12):
is we've seen it. We've witnessed it. And Kamala was
warning that Donald are going to see it on their side.
We've seen it on our side. It's already been illustrated
on our side. I hope that we can have a
good appointee as the Attorney General.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Merrick Garland has been one.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Of the biggest disgraces to America and the justice system
in American history. Thank god he was never on the
Supreme Court. Merrick Garland will be judged as again a
disgrace to the constitution he has been. And I hope
we get a good Attorney General that will somehow de
weaponisized weaponize the justice system, and then the director of

(31:48):
the FBI and the CIA. I think there has to
be a house cleaning to where we feel confident that
these institutions, these bureaucracies are no longer turned against the
American people. So I think those will be big changes
that I'd like to see. And I don't know anybody
on the list. I am sure the Trump camp, the
transition team will be better. I do know people that

(32:10):
are on the transition team last time. I don't know
anybody this time personally that I know of. Maybe by
some of our friends are on it, but I do
know last time they struggled because Trump had not been
in Washington, so he didn't have like a long list
of people that he knew. He just kind of took
a lot of advice and some of it was bad advice,
and he appointed some real goofballs to be in his

(32:30):
cabinet and in his administration. I think this time he
will do much better, and I think you'll have a
much easier time getting these people through the confirmation process.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
But I think that's going.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
To be the appointment to watch who's going to be
the attorney general and you're going to have to clean
house of the FBI and the CIA, And again, I
want people both sides, Red blue to feel like we
can once again have confidence in our justice system. And
Kamala was worried about the justice system and her campaign,
and she said she was and you and I have
c the weaponization of our justice system. So that's a

(33:03):
key area that I think big influence can be had
and maybe widespread long term effect by just cleaning house,
getting rid of some of the problems. They're kind of
scraping the sides of the pool before you refill it
with water, and I hope that can happen, especially in
the justice system. I think that's a very key for
all of us, whether you're Red Jersey or Blue Jersey.
