Senator John Fetterman's comments on the Schumer shutdown

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from woar from Everywhere, USA. It's
Fox Across America with Jimmy Fala and we are fired
up to bring you a big Thursday episode of the
high flying Death of Fire and Fox Across America with
Jimmy Fayala. A man who is not ganging up on
John Fetterman. No man the entire Democratic Party trying to

(00:23):
kick out the one guy who calls balls and strikes.
Not right. I'm upset about this for real. Fetaman was
the only Democrat who had the decency to fight to
get back the hostages, which is ironic because Fetterman looks
like the type of guy who has hostages in his basement.
And we're going to talk about it on a very
busy episode of the show. Got a lot of special guests.

(00:46):
Mikey has lined us up for another Headline Highway. I
don't know how that's gonna go if yesterday's Headline Highway
is any indication it's gonna sound like this, but we
will get into it. We will continue to continue to
be your source for top shelf radio in a bottom
feeding political world. The reason I get on the air

(01:09):
every day across the country and on the TVs and
the streaming apps and the phones and try to be
the port and the storm. Do you remember in pulp
fiction when he's like, I'm trying real hard to be
the shepherd man, But it's hard being the sheperd It's
so hard when everybody in politics is as full of
it as they are. But that's the reason we get

(01:31):
on the air. We say this every day. I'm not
trying to be in charge of the democracy. I'm not
telling you how to vote. I'm just trying to keep
you semi entertained while you drive down the highway to
work or cook the meth and the Winnebago Walter White style.
I don't really judge you. I say you're all welcome.
Be a Republican, be a Democrat, just don't be a bang.

(01:53):
How about it? Happy Thursday. A lot going on. There's
a lot happening. My TV show Fox New Saturday Night
this week Kennedy, Brian Brenberg, my wife Jenny Fala has
been added to the lineup. That's stupid. Use your comments
is probably agree with that, but it's cheap labor. You
can't really turn it down. Sergeant Slaughter w w E

(02:14):
Wrestling legend also scheduled to be on the show. We're
working out some difficulties right now in terms of logistics
and flights and hotels. That's how TV works. But everybody's
bargaining in good faith when it comes to politics. When
it comes to what happened to Fetterman last night in
this Morning, Yeah, I gotta tell you, man, I'm a
little worked up about this one. So let me give

(02:34):
you the story because I'm trying to hold it together here.
Fetterman did a town hall. I believe it was a
News Nation town hall. It was at the Kennedy Center.
Stephen A. Smith, Bill O'Reilly never heard of him. Stephen A. Smith,
Bill O'Reilly. I think Jim Jordan was there. Fetterman was there.
There might have been one other congressman I'm not terribly
familiar with. But the point is they were doing a

(02:55):
town hall about everything, the shutdown, the hostage situation in
Democrat rhetoric, and the one common thread we've all kind
of seen in this Fetterman evolution is that this is
a guy who had a stroke, and everybody on Fox
at the time, including myself, was watching him and going, man,
I don't know that he could serve in the Senate

(03:16):
because he was doing campaign rallies where he wouldn't actually
speak at the rally. That can't be good, you know
what I mean, He wouldn't actually speak at his own
rallies because the guy was banged up. And again, we
didn't make fun of him because you know, there but
for the grace of God go I. But we absolutely
thought he had a debilitating brain injury and people were
just voting for him because it was a party over

(03:38):
country moment. But what's crazy? And we've all kind of
made the same, you know, kind of remark as the
more Fetterman has healed from that injury, the less he
has sounded like a Democrat. It's crazy, okay, But he
agreed with the Republicans on almost everything. And last night

(03:58):
he went out and said what should be a pretty
common sense thing, Pretty common sense. Don't call your opponent's Nazis.
Don't say they're white supremacists to get people killed. It's dangerous.
It's also just not true. It's embarrassing. Do you know
what an insult it is to the six million people
who died in the Holocaust to say folks that vote

(04:19):
for Trump or Nazis or that Trump is a Nazi. Guys,
Trump is a Jewish daughter. He's really bad at being
a Nazi. Trump just freed a bunch of Jewish hostages.
I don't know what you remember about Hitler from history class.
I didn't get the best grades, but Hitler wasn't exactly
known for freeing the Jews. Okay, So when Feederman comes

(04:39):
out and says this, yeah, he gets a round of
applause from sensible people in the room. Everybody nods their
head on the stage. But within minutes of this town
hall ending, there's an Axios report surfacing making the rounds
that the Democratic Party is plotting to get rid of
John Fetterman. They don't want him anymore. They heard him
agree with the report Buplicans on one point, and they

(05:01):
were like.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
He should be behind bar.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh yeah, they'd lock him up if they could. So
let me give you some of this because it's again
what I consider to be a teachable moment. So the
funniest thing about being me. I went to community college,
meaning I enrolled. I didn't even go, you know, I
just needed to stay on my parents' health care and basically,
you know, show up, grab a book at the bookstore.

(05:24):
You know, take a couple of tests and drink a
bunch of Meister Brown in the parking lot. Fat, drunk
and stupid. There's no way to go through life stuff Fat,
drunk and stupid. Is exactly how I went through the
years nineteen ninety five through nineteen ninety seven. Okay, and
I never thought I would be teaching anyone anything other
than how to shotgun a bud dry beer in a
parking lot. But that being said, when it comes to politics,

(05:45):
so much of this is human nature, and it has
a lot less to do with policy. It has nothing
to do with principle. There's no principle left in politics.
I'll get to that in a second. And it has
everything to do with just being cool. Be somebody that
folks are happy to see coming. You know, somebody walks
into a party and every was like, hey, this guy's here,

(06:05):
all right? High five. Do you remember the beginning of
Kingpin when Woody Allen walks into the bowling alley and
they're playing Disco Inferno, and he's got like a secret
handshake for everybody. He takes a bite of one guy's
hot dog, he holds up the bowling ball that whole thing, okay,
and everybody's just happy to see him there. Okay. I'm
not saying you have to be Roy Munson, a state
champion bowler who's gonna go toe to toe with Bigger

(06:27):
and McCracken and the Reno Open. But I am saying
you're gonna have a much better life and you're gonna
contribute a lot more to society if you're just somebody
that people are fine with seeing. You don't want to
be the guy that walks into the room and everybody's like,
oh God, oh real, here it comes. Okay, it's a party, now,

(06:48):
you know what I mean. You don't want to be
Katie Porter. Nobody sees Katie Porter coming and goes, Wow,
the mood's about to live it up in here. That
doesn't happen. You don't want to be that person, Okay,
And that's the teachable moment in what I'm about to
tell you. Fetterman makes the kind of comments of a
person you want to see coming. Hey man, I don't

(07:08):
care how you vote, just don't call the people who
disagree with you a Nazi. That guy, I promise you,
is cool at a party. The guy who shows up
and goes, Oh, you voted Republican. You're a Hitdler. Nobody
wants to hang out with that guy. Why are you
going to stick around to have nachos so they can
accuse you of cultural appropriation? Of course not. And that's
the teachable moment here. The Democrats keep putting themselves in

(07:30):
this position, whether he're on the wrong side of cool,
you know, just the wrong side of reason. Here's Fetterman,
this is clip one.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
I'm the only Democrat in my family. I grew up
in a conservative part of Pennsylvania, and I grew up
and I know and I love people that voted for
President Trump. But they are not fascists, they're not Nazis.
They're not trying to destroy her, the Constitution and those things.
And that's part of another thing. I refuse to call

(07:59):
people you Nazis or fascists, or I would never compare
anybody anybody to Hitler in those things.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
See did you hear that? Did you? I just I
wouldn't compare anybody to Hitler. Pretty pretty reasonable take from
John Fetterman. Okay, unless you happen to be a Democrat,
in which case they have lost their minds over this one.
So let me read you this. I'm opening it up
in my phone. That's how serious this show just got.

(08:29):
I mean, I'm normally opening my phone during a broadcast
with all the cameras in the studio. It's because I'm
checking out some starlet Mikey just texted me off Instagram,
some horny housewife who just started in. Only fans you
know what I'm saying. But I'm opening my phone to
read you an article. I can prove it if you're
watching on the nation cameras. Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are

(08:50):
reportedly circling John Fetterman and plotting a potential primary challenge
with the goal of ousting the lawmaker.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
That is balder dash and hogwash and are.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
You following me here? Fetterman goes on TV says, hey,
don't call him Nazis, and they go primary time, fire
up the fundraising machine. He's a Nazi too. Fetterman has
become the subject of criticism among Democrats for his maverick
softer approach to President Trump and some of his policies
which often break party lines. Ooh. Possible contenders, according to Axios,

(09:26):
include Representative Chris de Luzil Pennsylvania Democrat who is quietly
building a populist rust belt profile. An aggressive Fetterman critic
Representative Brendan Doyle, who branded him Trump's favorite Democrat and
accused the Senator of kissing the ring with Amar a
Lago visit earlier this year. Now, I will tell you this,
and it's worth knowing. I've interviewed Fetterman at the White

(09:48):
House correspondence dinner. He was a really cool guy. We
talked about wah wahs, we talked about the Steelers versus
the Eagles. He's a big Steelers guy. He prefers sheets,
gas stations over wahwa. I know that's a territorial dispute.
I am team sheets all the way, okay, And I
do love Fetterman. I loved talking to him. He was reasonable.

(10:09):
He's not a political shock jock, you know, like Jasmine
Crockett is a shock jock. She's gonna go everybody's a
slave catcher if you're a Republican, and all the Republicans
are gonna click on it, like oh hell no. And
she's gonna get clicks and make money on Twitter. But
she's never gonna contribute anything of substance to society. Okay,
AOC does that. Marjorie Teller Green does that. But because
she broke ranks with Trump, Bernie Sanders is now saying

(10:33):
she's the one sensible Republican that is still out there
on the right. Okay, because she took his side. So
do you see how the game works. There's a huge
viral trend on the internet right now because Bernie said
Marjorie Taylor Green is cool because she disagreed with Trump
on one issue. But think about that. Fetterman disagrees with

(10:53):
the Democrats on win issue. They primary the guy, get
him out of here, yet him out and say this
when there's a double standard, there's no standard, Like, if
you want to be a cool person, you can't besiege
people with double standards. Okay, let me give you the
rest of this article though, Okay, Fetterman still remains popular
across the state, where he's held the seat since twenty

(11:15):
twenty two. When Axios contacted the senator for comment, he
texted back, enjoy your clickbait, Please do not contact I
love that's great, that's great, And he's calling it clickbait
and I know it's because he doesn't have the time
to deal with reporters. You don't want to put up
with it. But let's be very serious right now, it

(11:37):
ain't clickbait. They want him out. I'll give you another
comment from Fetterman, and you tell me if this sounds
like a guy they want a round. Fetterman was asked
last night if he thought Kamala could get the hostages out.
You remember Kamala Harris, he's not real smart. Well here's
the discussion opening up clip too.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
I think I was the only Democrat early on to
to give President Trump the credit for the peace deal.
Why why wouldn't you? I mean that US could have
got it. Uh, well again, I don't know. She's not
the president. But but where I'm at right now, it's
it's like ask any of the hostages or their families.

(12:16):
They think President Trump was a hero and he deserves,
you know, the kind of deal for that thing. I
think that was really a remarkable development.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Do you think Harris could have got him out? No?
I think it's a silly question. So they teared like
Steven A. Smith, he goes, You think Garrison get it out?
He goes. No, guy next to him goes. I think
it's a silly question. Kamanda is a so stupid nobody
believes that. But again, he's being honest. And here's the thing.

(12:50):
There's nobody in the Democrat party who thought Kamala was
a good candidate. There's nobody a Democrat party thought she
would have got the hostages out. Okay. Prior to her
becoming the nominee, they spent the entire month of June
twenty twenty four saying Biden should take her off the
ticket because she was a drag on his chances. So
when they made her the nominee and everybody did that
North Korean about face, Oh what, dear leader says, it's cool,

(13:11):
we love Kamala. Get her down here, Doug the husband,
the guy who bangs the nannies, who doesn't like that guy? Okay,
And they did that pivot that about face because it's
so completely transactional. But when you see it in real time,
it's such a gross look on a group of people
because you realize anybody who is that expedient when it
comes to political moves and choices that they make is

(13:34):
not an authentic person. They're not somebody you want to
see coming at a party. So if you like Fetterman,
if you hate Fetterman, if you think you shouldn't have
been a senator, you were a big doctor Oz guy.
You like all the Oprah appearances. You bought the flim
flam vitamins he was selling and all the good stuff.
You're well within your rights. Okay. That is your authentic position, okay,
And that's all we're ever encouraging you to do on

(13:54):
this show is be authentic. Whether you're a politician or
a voter. It's gonna take you a lot further in life.
He's a lousy dad, but he's right. He's the host.
You shouldn't get too close to a lot of things
about me. You don't know anything about that.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Any things you wouldn't understand, things he couldn't understand.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
It has flossed across America with Jimmy Fayla. You know,
a better radio host would have told you who was
coming up on the show today. Fundamentally, I would have
been like, you know, we got this coming up. Here's
the phone number, here's how you get in touch. We
don't do that in the A block any We're doing
it a new way. We're driving a we're driving it.
You know they say we're driving it like we stole it.

(14:36):
We're driving it like we rented it, and we took
out the damage waiver. But if you must know, Louisiana
Senator John Kennedy is joining us in the third hour
of the show. That's an idea we owe this guy royalty.
Is you know how many of us drops I have
played on this show. I love John Kennedy, He's on
the show. Caitln Sinclair is on the show as part

(14:58):
of Mikey's Babe Parade. And of course we'll have the
headline highway. We'll hand out a couple of participation trophies
along the way. But right now it's straight up you
and me, Tom, I want to give you a little more,
a little more on last night's town hall, which featured
Fetterman speaking out in support of not calling people Nazis,
only to get primaried by the Democrats and of course

(15:20):
Stephen A. Smith, who called bs on every politician on
the stage over the shutout. And I want to play
this because I've been making this point since the shutdown happened. Okay,
the reason I don't get worked up about the shutdown is, yes,
I have a lot of empathy for the people missing
paychecks and the people who depend on the government. Of
course I do. But when it comes to the political infighting,
it's all it's I mean, I'm trying not to curse

(15:43):
on the air, but yes, it's all bullsh all of it.
Here is Steven A. Smith telling you the truth. Every
one of these people who's in a shutdown is getting paid.
They're doing town halls, they're coming on my show, they're
hanging out. You know, we ain't getting paid the people
who voted for him. Here it is Clip three.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
That's why you have so many Americans excuse my language,
so picked off at Washington, because somehow, some way you
get to have these conversations, engage in specific elements of
it to talk about what we need to do to
get things better. Our debt is thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Point eight trillion.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Somehow, some way the taxpayer has been paying this, been
throwing money because we all look at our check and
it's been going to the government. And somehow, some way,
you're supposed to be doing something.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Constructive and productive enough to make sure that we don't
have that kind of deficit, and isn't happening. A government
shutdown is going on right now. A man has to
work on door Dash when he's really an air traffic
controller that we applaud it. And we're up here talking
about how much some money is gonna cost and the

(16:54):
only person that don't have a check coming is him.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take a break.
So Steven A. Smith walked off. That was like has
dropped the mike moment. But he's telling you the truth.
You got an air traffic controller not getting paid. He's
picking up a side cast, a side gig for door Dash.
But every single member of Congress who's just now we're
shut down. We'll figure it out when they budge. They're

(17:17):
doing a no Kings thing on Saturday. Have you seen
the people at the No King's protests? It should be
called no Exercise, or maybe call it no dates because
it's just such a sad collection of frumpy white slobs
and there's no black people, there's no minorities because nobody cares.
It's a made up thing. They're selling merch off of it.
It's embarrassing. We'll get into it because somebody else spoke

(17:39):
out last night from Hollywood didn't go as good as
the Steven A. Smith clip. I just played you. We
are going to cover an absolute train wreck. Pete Booty
Judge would be crap proud, it's East Palestine stuff. When
we come back at Fox Across America, there is Fox
Across America with Jimmy Glo holding this country together. One
broadcast at the time, Deuisia Senator John Kennedy's coming by.

(18:03):
We're gonna hear from Kaitless and Claire, and we're gonna
plug the hell out of my November twenty second date
in Pittsburgh YO WJAS YO Beaver County Radio. This gig
is almost sold out. You got to make a move
if you want to go see me live. If you're
listening out there in Ambridge with a lot of my
Polish Falcon family, that gig Saturday night, November the twenty second,

(18:25):
out there in the Burke and those tickets are available
at foxacross America dot com. And if you're not in
Pittsburgh and you want to see me on the West
coast the following weekend, the twenty eighth, San Louis obispo
Hey Girl, the twenty ninth, I am in Vegas for
two shows at Durango First when sold out, they added
a second show. It's about to sell out, So shout
out to everybody on k Dawn listening to me out

(18:47):
in Vegas. That gig Saturday night, November twenty ninth. It's
Thanksgiving weekend. You'll feel a lot better, a lot better
about your own holiday weight game when you see mine,
because believe me, I am going hard when I get
out of to the West Coast read and everything. But
all of those tickets are on salfox across America dot com.
The Palm Beach Kennel Clubs sold out December sixth. You
can't get in. You can come gamble though, hang out

(19:10):
after the show if you want to do that, that
would be amazing, And then you can twenty twenty six,
we go to Saint Louis January the twenty fourth, We
go to Wichita, Kansas, January the thirty first, and then
we're adding a lot of other gigs, So buckle up, Buttercup.
But right now we got to do some radio. That's
the actual job here. It's not the job. It's one
of several jobs, as you know. But as it pertains

(19:33):
to the conversation we've been having around politics, this Saturday
for the Democrats is something called No King's Day. I mean,
what's the dumbest thing I've heard of, dumbest thing I've
ever heard of. Nobody's acting like it's like they made
up a phrase. That's what they do. They make up
a phrase and repeat it a lot, thinking people are

(19:57):
going to buy in. There's nobody anywhere in America that
was getting home from work tonight going yeah, we live
under a king. Scary thinks he's a king. What he's like,
he's royalty. Now, I will grant you there's a lot
of gold in the Oval Office right now. For real,
it looks like the Oval Office looks like a Cracker

(20:19):
Barrel if it was a much much, much higher end restaurant.
You know, when you go to Cracker Barrel. As Tom
Shlou famously said, we love Cracker Barrel on the show.
I love Crackerbrow. I'm not disparaging Cracker Brow, so don't
get it twisted as the kids say. But you know,
Cracker Brow looks like it's owned by hoarders. There's like
a license plate. There's one roller skate on the wall.
It's like a half a ski pole. You know, it's

(20:41):
a picture of Mickey Mantle. You know, it's cool stuff.
I love it, love the Americana aspect. The Oval Office
is now that decorated, like relentlessly. You can't even see
the walls in the Oval Office anymore. It was like
Trump just took everything they had in the reserves and
just you know, t shirt gunned them all over the
room everywhere. You can't look an inch in that White

(21:02):
House and see wall, and he's throwing gold onto all
of it. And for that reason, okay, you could go, yeah,
it looks like royalty. That looks like something you'd see
in buck Again palace maybe. But as it pertains to
a king, is anybody walking around right now thinking they
live under a kingance would be No, The Democrats made

(21:23):
this up. No kings is what started out as fighting
the oligarchy. And fighting the oligarchy was like, no one
says oligarchy. Yes, if Joe Biden was doing a commercial
for the olive Garden, he would probably say oligarchy five
times by accident. That's a real actual thing. Biden is
such a disaster. But does any human being in their

(21:44):
everyday lives go, you know with this freaking oligarchy? Honey?
Unbelievable car won't start freaking oligarchy. No one was saying it.
Nobody cares. And they realized the fighting the Oligarchy tour
wasn't catching on, so they decided to make it sound
more human, and they now started calling it no Kings.
It's the same people, it's the same movement. Dude. If

(22:05):
you have to change the name of your movement, you
don't have a very good movement.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
He knows what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Now, we were doing the fight in the oligarch we're
doing the no Kings now. Now next week we're gonna
be doing the uh sick of the villains. Okay, because
no one buys into the king thing either. They don't care.
No King's Day July fourth, seventeen seventy six, that was
No King's Day. We sent a letter over to the
King of England and we were like, hey, buddy, how

(22:35):
about you. That's what we did. That's what That was
No King's Day. And the war started and here we are. Okay.
But as it pertains to the current moment we're living in,
kings don't get overruled by appellate court judges. Kings don't
have to appeal themselves to the Supreme Court. Kings don't
get indicted ninety one times by fake prosecutions. Kings very

(22:57):
rarely get shot, and if they do, the guy who
shot him doesn't get cremated within a few hours while
they bleach the sight of all the evidence and we
never get a follow up investigation. I'm promising you. You
know the old adage of you come for the king,
you best not miss. They came for the king, they missed,
and we never heard another word about it. Bingo. So understand, Okay,

(23:20):
this whole rally is a made up This is our
latest attempt to make people care. But nobody cares. If
you ever worked with someone, it's like, really mean to people.
But they do it from the standpoint of, oh, you
guys just wish you were my friend, and you're like, no, no, no,
nobody likes you. Nobody was to hang out with you.

(23:40):
You're a monster. Okay, that's kind of the no King's protest.
The people that are calling you hitler, nobody likes them. Okay.
The people who says they're protecting democracy, would you stomp
it you jailed your political opponent and shot them, Okay,
you're not protecting democracy. But again, nobody likes people that
are that transparently hypocritical. Okay, yet they're out there mean

(24:02):
girling the rest of society. We're are going to No
Kings rally. You wish you were with us. Kathy Griffin's
gonna be there. I'm like, that's a real thing. Kathy
Griffin is gonna be there. And you remember Kathy Griffin,
very controversial figure. She had that tweet with the giant
plastic face that freaked everybody out. But enough about her face.

(24:25):
You know she was also holding up that severed Trump head.
But here's Kathy Griffin now doing the old Trump didn't
win a free and fair election? Oh shut up, warm
a clip.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
For People are calling this protest the No King's Day
because Trump thinks he's a king, and you know he's not.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
He's barely a president. In fact.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Guess what I'm going to say something that's going to
get me in trouble. I don't think he won in
a free and fair election. You heard me. I'm coming
out and saying it myself. I don't care if that
means I look crazy.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
You don't look crazy. I actually don't look crazy. You
look like carrat Top knocked up. Jensaki. That's what you
look like. You do not look crazy, Do not put
yourself down. You look like Carratop and Jensaki were going
at it. And it's actually not even true. It looks
like she looks like Prince Harry knocked up Jensaki, which

(25:22):
is likely because Prince Harry clearly has a thing for
annoying chicks. So let's not pretend it wouldn't be entirely
possible for that sort of thing to happen. But again,
the ask here is that you buy into the idea
that Donald Trump is acting like a king. I mean,
you don't have a clue. It's so embarrassing, and it's

(25:43):
not a free and fair election. Do you realize what
she was saying a year ago. We're protecting our democracy
because Trump said the twenty twenty election was stolen, and
anybody who tells you an election is stolen should basically
die in prison. Never mind that they told us the
sixteen election was stolen and we also threw it. The
point is she's now out there doing the thing again.

(26:05):
And by the way, I know I'll get in trouble
with this, but I don't think you want a free
and fair election. Okay, look at all the swing states.
No one's ever won all the swing states except they have,
except that there have been blowouts in elections. Seriously, five
times the size of a trumpy Kamalabai. Was it a landslide? Yes?
Does he have a mandate? Yes? Was it Reagan versus Mondale? No? Okay?

(26:29):
Trump won a little over three hundred electoral votes. Okay,
Reagan won close to five hundred. Think about insane. You
know those NBA playoff games where it's like Game four,
teams on the road, they're down one, twenty four to
fifty two at the half, and you're like, well, somebody
who was out in the strip club last night? These

(26:50):
boys got no legs left, just gonna empty the bench
and lose this one by ninety two. Okay. That was
the Reagan Mondale election. I'll never forget it. Reagan was
like a superhero. He was my first president. He was
a big deal. And when he ran for reelection against Mondale.
On actual election day, we were all from school at
Abbey Lane School. I grew up right by the Abbe

(27:12):
Lane School in Levittown. We went and hit out at
the school behind the dumpsters, waiting for the results of
the election. Because we really believed if like Reagan lost,
we were really bad trouble. We didn't even know why.
We're just like he was the guys. He rooted for
the guy. You know, you think there is no joy
in Mudville, Mighty Casey has struck out, Like ideally, there

(27:32):
probably was still joy in Mudville. The bars were probably
still open. There were probably still a lot of hot,
frisky women who had one beer too many. Oh yes,
I've read about that in the Bible. I'm sure the
pizza plays kept delivering, you know, I'm sure the juke
box still had good music. So it's a bit of
hyperbole that you sometimes buy into because it sounds good.
And that was the nineteen eighty four election, except Mighty

(27:53):
Casey didn't get shut out or struck out. You know,
he hit went out of the stadium and broke a
car window in the parking. Okay, but Reagan was my guy.
And like when I hear Kathy Griffin be like, no
one's ever won by this, it must be fixed. I'm like,
do you even follow politics? And the Andrew is no?
I started the week playing you Martin Sheen clips. I
was like, Martin Sheen, it's obviously like a really successful actor.

(28:15):
I wish the guy no ill will. He's spectacularly rich,
it's living a fabulous life. So when he weighs in
on politics, you're getting the ramblings of a guy who's
not even watching the movie. Like imagine you're watching Rocky
four with a guy who didn't see one, two and three,
and he's sitting there telling you who Polly is and
what Adrian does. You know what I'm saying, and you're like, wait,

(28:37):
just shut up, I don't who cares. You're not even
like you're annoyed. But you know a man, you don't
wish him any ill will? You just go out? The
guy's an annoying guy to watch your movie with. Okay,
that's most Hollywood actors when it comes to politics. They're
weighing in with next to no knowledge of what you're
talking about, and they become an annoying guy to watch
this movie with. That's Kathy Griffin. Here are you ready?
I'll give you a clip I heard doing the Elon

(28:57):
Musk is a Nazi thing. Elon Musk, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Listen to this clip five Elon Musk, who's this other
Nazi guy running around town who owns X and a
lot of people think he's a genius, but he's not.
He's like a fake genius. Anyway, he's a but he's
a professional Nazi in my humble opinion. And he's good
friends with Trump. And at one point, I don't know

(29:22):
if you remember, but he was giving out million dollar
checks to.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
People if they would vote for Trump.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
That's illegal, it's unconstitutional and illegal.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
So that was happening.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
And the fact that Trump won all seven swing states,
which has never happened in the history of the US,
makes it all very suspicious to me. So there, I
said it.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Oh my god, some of these these women there, they're
so stupid. And by the way, what's the Nazi part
of Elon Musk? She said he spent a lot of
money on the election. Did she say anything when Mark
Zuckerberg spent five hundred million dollars to get Biden elected.

(30:04):
And that's the point. These people are so wildly uninformed.
And you know, they weighed in from time to time
because it's a branding exercise. They want to look like
they care. Hey, I'm an ally to the little papal
and I'm gonna call this guy a Nazi and say
the election was fake, based on a metric that isn't real.
No one's ever won all this swigs day. Oh gosh,

(30:26):
Mondelle only won one state when he ran against election.
He won Minnesota. It's the only state he won. Reagan
beat him forty nine states to one. That was embarrassing.
The guy who was popular enough to win forty nine
to one. The guy who wanted to minimize the size

(30:49):
of the government, the guy who Donald Trump looked up
to and once got a letter from saying maybe you
should get into politics someday. Okay. The guy who just
freed all the Jewish hostages, which is really not Hitler stuff,
as Kathy would like you to believe. But the guy
who implemented doge to shrink the size of the government.

(31:12):
Guys again, Kings try to expand the kingdom. Kings try
to take more power, more of your money. This guy's
trying to shrink the government, cut your taxes so you're
not so reliant on the government. As it pertains to
a king. He's doing the opposite. Government is not the
solution to our problem. Government is the problem. The host

(31:36):
who always has gifts for his listeners box across America
with Jimmy Palem and I am going to have to
play you one clip from Alexandria Ocassio Cortes. AOC is
a dope. Well, it's a big knife for aos. She's
got New York City may oriol race going down the

(31:57):
debates tonight between Curtis Sliwa zor on Mom Donny and
former New York Governor hansy Andy Cuomo. And so AOC
is getting in the ring. Last night she flubbed a
line on CNN and accidentally said that air is drinkable
air Air, Air is drinkable. Clip six. We're sick of.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Talking about these horse races, and we're sick of leaders
who only want to spend their time talking about that
instead of talking about real issues that affect our lives,
instead of talking about healthcare, instead of talking about wages,
instead of talking about having air that's drinkable, I mean
air that's breathable and water and water that's drinkable.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
So it's like a little bit of a slip, not
the end of the world, but it's still pretty funny
because again the lecture comes from a gal who's part
of the government shut downside. They shut down the government,
all right, that's what happened. And they're like, well, the
Republicans controlled the Senate, in the House, the presidency, but
they don't mention there's a rule that you have to

(33:04):
get at least sixty votes, and the Republicans don't have
that many seats in the Senate to get to sixty
by themselves, so they need the Democrats to help them
reopen it. That's true. That is true. Now there is
a technical way the Republicans could reverse this and no

(33:25):
longer need a sixty vote majority, but that means the
Democrats would have the right to do that when they
got into power, on any piece of legislation they ever
hoped to pass. So the Democrats are kind of human
shielding the lockdown right now, the shutdown, whatever the hell
you're calling it. It's like, it's such a story. I
don't care about like I care about the people who

(33:46):
were affected. I just the politics of this is so gross, guys.
It's a continuing resolution that the Democrats supported thirteen times
in a row, meaning thirteen times this exact bill we've
shut down the government over came up for a vote
and the Democrats said, sure, of course. Now the fourteenth

(34:07):
time they're like, what kind of country what pass a
bill like this? Democrats are so full of crap. But
to take it a step further, because I don't want
you to get mad at Democrats. I want you to
understand the Republicans vowed to cut spending, and what they're
attempting to pass right now is the Joe Biden spending
budget from the last four years. It's called a continuing resolution.

(34:29):
So anybody who gets on the radio and tells you, ah,
the Democrats, bah, sure, great, but don't give the Republicans
a free bee because they ain't trying to cut spend it.
I'm not okay. That's why I don't get worked up
about politics. That's why I don't unfriend people who don't
vote the way I do. That's why you shouldn't. You know,
when Trump's in power, everybody gets so fired up because

(34:51):
it feels like, you know, it's like raging conflict because
the Democrats are lying about them. They're calling you a Nazi.
I get it. You get mad, but you also let
your own party off the hook. You know. You might
have noticed this week Fox News joined a lot of
other military organizations excuse me news organizations in withdrawing from
the Pentagon. Coverage based on the Pete Hegseth deal of

(35:11):
we'll give you the information, don't go looking for it,
to shut up and report what we tell you. This
is not actually acceptable. Pete Hegseth has been on the
show a dozen times. I like them. I don't know
what's behind the policy. You're allowed to call balls to
strike it. Does it make you a rhino or a trader?
It actually makes you this good old fashioned thing called
an American. This has been a podcast from wor
