(00:08):
And good morning everybody, and happySuper Tuesday. Yes, indeed, ladies
and gentles, it's gonna be abig one and a fun one, and
I will be here and we willbe here throughout. Davi, you give
you a preview as well as justto get you rolling on all the news

(00:28):
that's fit to print with the SuperTuesday happening today, and of course President
Trump going into it with a massivelead, and many of these states are
winner take Hall and so this puppyis gonna be a big one and we'll
seal the deal. It won't matterto Nicki Haley because Nicki Haley is going

(00:48):
to do this anyway. She's gonnakeep going. Now, there is a
rumor out there that she may pullsome of her ads for sins. Fox
News is talking about that right now, that he may pull some of her
ads and stop advertising, but she'llstill be around as probably his main critic.
That's how it's going to all roll. We'll focus in on that in

(01:11):
just a few minutes. But firstlet's get to yesterday, and let's get
to the mass freakout. Let's getto the freak out on the part of
the news media, and then onthe part of the secretary of state in
Colorado that started it all. Andyeah, as you would imagine, the

(01:34):
response was what it would be ifa thirteen year old were a secretary of
state of Colorado. My larger reactionis disappointment. I do believe that states
should be able under our constitution tobar oath breaking insurrectionists. And ultimately this
decision leads open or leaves open thedoor for Congress to act to pass authorizing

(01:57):
legislation. But we know that Congressis a nearly non functioning body, so
ultimately it will be up to theAmerican voters to save our democracy in November.
Yeah, you mean to vote withoutyou interfering in the election. Yeah,
that's what we wanted to be tobegin with, is for the American

(02:19):
people to decide. And so shetook a swing, she missed, and
now it's over, and all thesefolks are out there but hurt because they
couldn't interfere the election. Now,keep in mind, there's this thing out
there that Congress could be able topass some legislation and do whatever. We'll

(02:40):
see whether or not or how muchluck they have with that, because at
that point they want to try toinstitutionalize this interference, and of course it's
not wouldn't be retroactive, and itwouldn't matter one way or the other.
They might want to try to doit in time for midterms and try to

(03:01):
associate all these other lawmakers with insurrectionism. But listen, this isn't it's not
going to happen. President Trump takinga victory lap yesterday and oddly enough reaching
out to Joe Biden, Letitia Jamesand Fannie and deranged Jack Smith. What

(03:23):
they should be doing is fighting violentcrime, and that would lead me to
the end. I will say thatPresident Biden. Number one, stop weaponization,
fight your fight yourself. Don't useprosecutors and judges to go after your
opponent to try and damage your opponentso you can win an election. Our

(03:46):
country is much bigger than that.The other thing I say to President Biden,
close the borders now. Yeah,while I'm while I'm giving you advice,
stop failing, stop trying to weaponizethe courts against me, stop embarrassing
yourself, and just go ahead andand and and be a president. How

(04:12):
does that sound? The media,that freak out was really something. It
was actually really super fun to watch, as you guys saw in my Facebook
post from yesterday. I just basicallyjust got a bunch of pictures from from
the Hillary Clinton defeat and decided Iwas going to go and just and just

(04:38):
basically just put those in a collageand say, hey, nine to nothing,
I think I'll go, I'll getI think I'll go check on all
the loons and see how they're reacting. And yeah, it was. It
was funny, if I do sayso myself. Jim Acosta was the main
whiner over there on CNN. Thisis what he had to say. But

(05:00):
there are a lot of Americans outthere just their blood is boiling over where
Donald Trump did on January six,what he did leading up to January six,
and they just think that he's justgetting let off the hook Scott Free
left and right. He kind ofis. And letting off the hook is
not a bad thing when you're aperson who has done nothing illegal and certainly

(05:24):
nothing that would prevents you from beingthe next president of the United States and
for that matter, being the nominee. So yeah, definitely has been let
off the hook, and we're reallysuper happy about that. Jim Accosta.
Just so you know, it soundslike what we were talking about in anticipation
of this decision that they were goingto find an off ramp to not deal

(05:45):
with the prickly question as to whetheror not Trump committed an insurrection and should
be kicked off the ballot because ofthat. Jim, what do you say
to all those Americans out there whoare watching this who are frustrated and say,
well, that is funny because thereare all those Americans who are watching
this and this is where CNN iswhere the butt herd Americans go, uh

(06:08):
to just kind of suck their thumband and there it's like it's like getting
a baby occupied with cartoons, youknow, it's just kind of sit him
in front of the TV, uhand they can suck their thumb and just
kind of be anesthetized and pacified bywatching a bunch of other people freak out
on television for them, because there'snowhere for these people to go. Gradually,

(06:32):
everything is falling apart because well thereis a god and so yeah,
everything is falling apart. This thisappeal system itself, as Jim at Costa
points out, he doesn't he doesn'tlike the appeal system. Jim Acosta doesn't

(06:53):
and you know, really, what'swhat's really crazy is as much as President
Trump has been accused of an insurrectionand accused of not upholding the standards of
this so called democracy, even thoughit's not one, it's a republic.
These are the people who are themost fascistic. These are the people who

(07:14):
are most authoritarian. These are thepeople who win left to their own devices,
wouldn't even want appeals. These arepeople who win left to their own
devices, would kick people off ofbalance and take the vote away from the
American people. One thing you reallyhave to realize when you listen to these
people talk is their vision of thiscountry is not an American vision. It's

(07:41):
not steeped in any matter of ourdeclaration of independence or our constitution. It's
steeped in their absolute control of electionoutcomes and their absolute control of your vote,
and the abuse of a leader legalsystem where basically what you have is

(08:03):
you have an extra judicial way ofrunning elections. And by extraditional, I
mean you know, like in thePhilippines, when this crazy guy who led
the Philippines, they would just goout and instead of actually arresting drug dealers
and trying them, they would justgo out and shoot them, which I

(08:24):
mean I'm sure appeal to some Filipinosto a certain degree, but it was
called extra digitial. This is whatthey're doing with the courts. They're taking
the courts and using them as aweapon and failing, by the way,
because ultimately you run up to commonsense here, and this was a nine

(08:48):
zero decision. I can't tell youhow frustrating it was even to hear some
of these harpies on Fox News tryto turn it into some kind of five
to four decision because because some ofthe liberal justices had some cautionary statements to
make about the ruling, but theruling was the ruling. And I even

(09:11):
heard Fox News hosts saying, well, I know, but you know they
didn't they kind of approached no no, no, no no. Uh.
There is a vote, and thevote was taken and it was nine to
nothing. There's no other way tolook at that, unless, of course,
you are a whiny little anti Americanstooge, which is what a lot

(09:33):
of these people were, even onFox News. I can't remember which one
it was because I listened to thatafter that whatever that midday debacle is where
all those women are and I could, I could, I mean, I
know Harris Faulkner. But the restof them don't. I can't tell who's
who. And one of them soundsactually seventeen years old and unintelligent, and

(09:54):
I just don't even know what youknow, so I don't know who it
was. It suggested that this isin reality, a five to four decisions
like no, no, no,no, girl. In reality, this
was a nine to nothing decision.And so now the floodgates are open.
Everybody, it's time for super Tuesdayto begin as the polls are opening.

(10:20):
Yes, indeed, it's common senseRadio. Good morning, everybody, happy
super Tuesday. It's Almen in themorning. It's common Sense Radio. Jamie
Allman, super happy to be withyou here, Almen in the morning,
one O four nine and the Patriot. Yes, you are in the right
place, people, make no mistake. So yes, the news media yesterday

(10:43):
got so flustered with all of theinevitability of a Trump nomination and quite possibly
a Trump presidency and the Supreme Courthanding them a huge loss. All right,
here's Jake Tapper. His explanation wasnot they didn't like Donald Trump.
They said he participated in an erection, and I have to an insurrection.

(11:07):
Sorry, in an insurrection, andI have to say, I got up
at five this morning to do CaseyHunts Show, and I'm exhausted. Oh
you got up at five o'clock thismorning and did Casey hunt show and you're
exhausted. I see, Jake,Yeah, must be exhausting trying to keep
up with all the ways that youare getting your butt kicked. I'm not
quite sure where in his brain thatword was that came out. I mean,

(11:31):
normally, I'm not quite sure howsomebody when they're talking about an insurrection,
how that comes out as that otherword, Like how does that happen?
I mean, I understand sometimes whenpeople have little word problems, but
those two words are vastly different,and I guess i'd kind of like to

(11:58):
know how that we'd manifest itself inJake Tapper's brain. But nonetheless, to
my point, very flustering for theseguys. And it's fun to watch Charlie
Sykes, who is a big Trumpdetractor. He's a never Trumper, so
he goes on the Joe Scarborough Show, and that's where really a lot of

(12:22):
the thumbsucking was happening, even thoughyou'll see more of it this morning,
because the actual ruling came out almostwhen they were done with their airtime,
so this morning it'll be freak outin full mode. But Charlie Sykes is
that never Trumper guy, so againhe's a former like a Republican radio commentator.

(12:48):
And I love these guys who wentby the wayside and formulated these separate
groups that are never Trumpers now andthey're all failed conservative hosts who didn't get
their way, and Trump actually camein and took their little vibe away because
they were all in control. Theywere the smartest guys on the planet.

(13:09):
They were the ones who you know, like Charlie Sykes was on the radio
and he had it made because hehad dumb George Bush and to kick around,
and he could just kind of bethe guy, the go to guy
for all of the conservative information becausehe would go through Charlie Sykes until Trump

(13:30):
wrestled it away. And man,did he have a temper tantrum yesterday.
It was fun to one why thisguy is also old and he's crazy and
he's dangerous and he is incoherent.He needs to make that point. The
other maybe upside is that but thisis what you get there, and these
guys are. It's so interesting howtransparent their temper tantrums are. I get

(13:56):
these guys are sore losers, likehe wouldn't be aside from, of course
being sore winners in twenty twenty,they're sore losers. And it really does
come across. It's really kind offascinating how they are so unabashedly and unashamedly
flagrantly out there having temper tantrums.It's really it's really weird to watch.

(14:22):
But of course, unfortunately for them, the polls are what they are,
and the people are what they are. Laura ingram I gave you the New
York Times Siena poll. She hadsomething else to tell us about Hecting to
a new poll by the New YorkTimes in Santa College, Trump is winning
ninety seven percent of those who votedfor him in twenty twenty, and virtually
none of his past supporters said thatthey're going to be casting a ballance for

(14:45):
Biden and Bidenomics. In contrast,Biden is winning only eighty three percent of
his twenty Yeah, so so I'msurprised it's still eighty three percent, though,
But that's just the way eighty threepercent of his voters. But that's
the case, and we have moreelection integrity this time around. He won't

(15:05):
be able to cheat his way tothe Oval office again with only eighty three
percent still voting for him. Andvoter integrity if we're going to have it
already, some states have their voterID methods now being used today, so
many of them are instituting photo IDfor the first time. Here's another example.

(15:28):
This is you, guys remember onFox News Larry sabado from the University
of Virginia. He used to beon Fox News quite a bit, and
he used to be kind of oneof these guys that was more of a
professor or polster and political scientist wholeaned to the right, and he always

(15:54):
came across as more sympathetic to theRNC and Republicans, and he accurately predicted
for like twenty years congressional races andpresidential races, which kind of made him
the star that he was on someof these outlets, including Fox News,
Larry Sabineau. The first time thathis prediction failed was when he predicted Hillary

(16:22):
would basically landslide Donald Trump in twentysixteen, and he was famously wrong and
ever since that time, he haswanted Americans to pay for the fact that
he was embarrassed and that he waswrong. And so he's become a commentator
on CNN, and you can tellthat he's still seething from the fact that

(16:48):
he was knocked off of his throneby Donald Trump and the people who voted
for him. And so hear itin his voice. Here you go again.
You know, in the end,Jim, you can't save a people

(17:08):
from themselves. If they're determined toreelect him after he organized that insurrection,
arguably our first coup deeta, thenthere's nothing to stop the people from doing
that. Oh, I know,I know, Larry, It's so hard.
And so he's had a beef withthe American public ever since. As

(17:32):
an expert he was thrown off hishigh horse. And so again you see
all these people yesterday. It's sofun to watch because they all have their
own personal and petty motivations in reactingto the Supreme Court ruling and of course
reacting to the inevitability of President Trumpand of the voting public putting him in

(17:59):
as a as a nominee, ontop of ultimately probably being the next president
of the United States and weep andcry all you want, and it's just
the way it's gonna be. Happydays are probably gonna be here again.

(18:19):
And it's common sense radio. Don'tbest me, let me ride for the
man, let me myself morning,everybody a common sense radio, Jamie allman

(18:47):
here. Your phone calls are welcomeif you want to chime in on what
was going on over the weekend withthe caucuses. I understand things went smoothly,
they went our way, but alot of people want to go back
to the primary. And I certainlyunderstand that. Talk to a lot of
people who felt like it was morefor the insiders and less for the people

(19:11):
who were a normal, average,everyday players. But I understand that completely.
I think we ought to go backto the primary. The caucus system.
I think it works in Iowa.They've been doing it for seven thousand
years and so it's working there.But I think we ought to go back
to the primary. And Republicans needto get their act together and not let

(19:34):
that happen again. How does thatsound? Also, by the way,
keeping an eye on this Supreme Courtdecision, we are in a situation where
the Supreme Court gave us a veryunusual heads up last night indicating today ten
o'clock Eastern nine o'clock our time.My prediction is we'll find out probably earlier

(19:56):
than that, although leaking is notgenerally something we see at the Supreme Court
level, we had before notoriously,but we'll find out. I think probably
I'll get an indication of how they'regoing to rule, and we believe it's
on the Colorado ballot issue. Theyheard the arguments on the eighth of February.
Chances are really super good that they'regoing to be ruling on that case.

(20:18):
I can't imagine them ruling on thisimmunity case already, even without hearing
any any any arguments, what haveyou. So I will predict that it's
going to be the Colorado case,and I'll predict it's nine to oh.
I'll predict its another loss, uhfor the bozos in the in the Democrat

(20:45):
and Left party, and so mymy supposition is that's that's how it's going
to go. You can tell,uh, they're getting super desperate because they
had Colonel Vinman on the you knowon MSNBC Ali Velshi and they're so afraid
of what's going on because let metell you something. As Kornaki pointed out
on MSNBC and NBC, Nicki Haleyis all but done. And now,

(21:11):
of course Nicky Haley is acting asif she's still going to be in the
race, and because she's normal.I'll explain more of that at the top
of the seven o'clock hour, willgive you the whole skinny on that.
But yeah, Vinman is remember LieutenantColonel Vinman, that little snowflake over there,
who was part of the whole impeachmentproceedings and the and the excellent phone

(21:36):
call stuff. So they're rolling outidiots like him, who was nervous as
all hack on MSNBC by the way, basically saying this about Trump. Both
Trump telegraphed the kind of world hewants live in, and then we don't
have to use our imagination too hardbecause we could see that world manifest in
front of us, because he Trumptells us he wants to emulate of Vladimir

(22:00):
Putin, and in that we seewhat life could be like. We see
a world in which Trump would liketo eliminate his opposition. He'd like to
imprison them, poison them, potentiallymurder them. Yeah, right, So
Trump's gonna start poisoning everybody once hebecomes president of the United States. That's
how desperate it's getting. I don'tknow what kind of desperation this is,

(22:22):
though, handing over the basically thecommander in chief reigns to Kamala Harris.
Is this some kind of foreshadowing ofwhat's to come with Biden stepping aside for
her or is it a possibility ofjust trying to burnish her image a little
bit more so as not to havepeople wanting to replace the entirety of the

(22:45):
ticket. Also unusually is that shemade this speech yesterday. She cackled a
little bit, but she also engineerthis weird kind of policy statement about the
ceasefire. Now, keep in mind, I know that they've been kind of

(23:06):
working on that, insinuating on that, but the administration so far has never
outwardly aped the language of the leftwing, anti semi pro Palestine, whatever
that is. Kook's out there.And yet she gave this speech yesterday and

(23:27):
uh this was this was on theBloody Sunday Anniversary in Selma, Alabama.
And I'm thinking, man, you'reyou're you're doing the Bloody Sunday. Niversity
of Selma, Alabama, and you'redeciding that you're going to basically get behind

(23:47):
some of the worst people on theplanet, and that would be Gosins who
have supported hamas Uh and and whowho have And I'm not say like some
little baby is guilty of anti Semitismor of hating on Israel, but that's
how they're raised there. I'm notsaying that's a reason to starve them either.

(24:10):
But of course, if Hamastias simplywould give up the food and the
water that they've stolen, I thinkpeople in Gaza would be okay, don't
you. But the why would youchoose a venue like Selma, Alabama,
particularly on the fifty ninth anniversary ofBloody Sunday, to decide you're gonna get

(24:33):
behind a bunch of racists would whywould you? Why would you do that?
On top of that, roll outa policy statement that usually would come
from the commander in chief, butkama Is even meeting with some is some
envoy today, It's like, waita minute, Who's where's Joe? I

(24:56):
mean, who knows what's going on? Is he hanging out with the Defense
secretary now somewhere like where nobody knows? But yeah, Selma, Alabama,
the fifty ninth anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Kamala says, you know what,
we need to stand up for thepeople of Gaza and tell those Jews to

(25:22):
get with the program and do better. And here's what the Jews have to
do. There must be an immediateceasefire. Oh and she decides she's gonna
do that little preacher voice too.That must be hit it meat it cease
fighting. So I guess Kamala figured, well, as long as I just

(25:44):
talk like Alabama Baptist preacher, thenI can actually roll out this anti semi
propaganda, anti Israel propaganda. Maybethat's how how to roll or at least
the next six weeks, which iswhat is currently. Listen to the people

(26:06):
screaming at the top of their lungs. Those cannot be black people. I
mean, listen, they there mightbe. But I don't even know exactly
where she is, what venue she'sin. But this is this is this
still in Alabama. But man,I mean, and who who does that
on the table? This will getthe hostages. I guess they when they

(26:32):
import the view audience to sell themAlibima or John John Stewart audience significant or
the Seth Meyers audience. You knowthe people who like nobody even who wins
the lottery screams that loud. Well, of course, I don't know.

(26:52):
I've never been about anybody who wonthe lottery. Okay, I'll say,
I'll say, people who win thelottery do scream like that. Nobody,
even excited at the top of theirgame, would would act like that.
I don't know. This would allowus who's that one? Like? Who's
that person? Is that a cheer? Or what is that? I don't

(27:15):
even know what that is? Ofsuffering in Gaza, there must be an
immediate ceasefire, ks, which iswhat is currently on the table. This
will get the hostages out. Andthat one guy or is he blowing some

(27:41):
horn? Does he have? Likeyou know, is he the Ricola guy
blowing a horn? Amount of aid? In? Yeah? Who is that
guy? Is he is he?Did he leave his van down by their
river to go to a Kamala Harrisrally? And by the way, again

(28:06):
to her little comment about the aid, the Israelis were the ones who were
giving food and water to the Gosensto begin with. And when you start
killing Jewish people, beheading babies,and raping women. There's an inclination among
the Israelis that you know what,I don't think we're really gonna actually give

(28:30):
them food and water anymore, tellyou the truth, because they don't deserve
it at this point. And bythe way, again, if the Gosins
want food and water, all theyhave to do is ask Hamas for it,
because Hamas has it, because theysteal it. And she's like,

(28:52):
nay, eterrupt the convoys. It'slike, no, they don't. The
convoys are the ones that are beinghijacked by Hamas. The convoys are constantly
under attack from Hamas. This wouldallow us to build something more enduring,
to ensure Israel is secure and torespect the right of the Palestinian people to

(29:17):
dignity, freedom and self determination.Yeah, well, you know what,
that'd be great, Kamala, ifthere was such a thing as a Palestinian
person. But there really isn't,because there's no such thing as Palestine.
Palestine exists no much more in realitythan the land of the keebler elves.
And she knows that, and Israel, she goes, this will be the

(29:40):
best way to prod The best wayto protect Israel is to tell them to
stop defending themselves. Yeah, what'sgoing on with this woman? And where's
Joe three one, four, five, five, six sixty one of good
More than everybody gets Almona in themorning, it's Common Sense Radio one oh

(30:02):
four nine The Patriot coming up.Oh yeah, Scott Pelley tries to give
it to Moms for Liberty, butthey have receipts. We're going to follow
up on that. Plus also we'regoing to get into this whole thing about
the polling. And we have duelingpolls, The New York Times showing Donald
Trump five points ahead of Biden.The Wall Street Journal, you know,

(30:25):
the one connected to Fox News,which is connected to Paul Ryan, which
is connected to that, you know, who's the Republican Party, showing Biden
ahead by two points. So tome, it tells us everything. In
the meantime, Merrick Garland, whois there in alabamacas all the Democrats were
in Alabama race hustling and race baitingand fear mongering. Merrick Garland decides he's

(30:52):
going to go and tell everybody thattheir rights are going to be taken away
by add people, and he's goingto be there to protect them. The
right to vote is still under attack, and that is why the Justice Department
is fighting back. That is whyone of the first things I did when
I came into all right, that'scode for we're going to be harassing anybody

(31:15):
who supports voter integrity and who movesto try to make sure there is voter
integrity coming up in twenty twenty four. It's a double the size of the
voting section of the Civil Rights Division. That is why we are challenging efforts
by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access

(31:37):
to the ballot, including those relatedto mail in voting, the use of
drop boxes, and voter ID requirements. Yeah. Right. He doesn't want
anybody to have to show a photoID, and they certainly don't want to
have anybody looking after the mail indrop boxes. And that's because they want
fraud to be prevalent again in twentytwenty four. Now, do you think

(32:02):
he's speaking to an audience of peoplewho are against photo ID. Probably not.
If you look at a Rasmusen poll, thousand national likely voters were asked
should voters be required to show photoidentification such as a driver's license before being
allowed to vote, and you wouldprobably think if you just asked somebody off

(32:24):
the street, they'd say, oh, I'm sure. White people were the
only ones who really said yes,no, not exactly. White seventy four
percent, Black sixty nine percent,only five points behind white people in supporting
the idea of a photo D beforeyou vote. Then you go to other

(32:46):
non white individuals who were polled,and those whould include Hispanics. I would
imagine, right, eighty two percentthink photo ID is a good idea before
you vote, including a driver's licenseeighty two percent, which is basically almost
ten percentage points higher than the whiteresponse. Pretty crazy, huh. It's

(33:10):
a total myth that America's, especiallythose minorities, are opposed to photo ID.
Speaking of elections, over the weekendthe Missouri caucus, I heard from
a lot of people who were notvery happy with it, although I'm happy
with the result, and so ismy old friend Ben Murphy, who has

(33:31):
worked hard with the other great,intrepid, courageous Trump supporters to make sure
Trump did in fact wind up winningMissouri. And Ben is on with you
now and he teamed Trump twenty fourthat's right, buddy, and hey,
first of all, how you doing, my friend, Jamie, I'm doing

(33:54):
good. I kind of came outof retirement politically for this event. Yeah,
I did what you may be lookingat there. I sent you a
list of the people that you talkedabout taking the deal over. That was
from the iould call it the establishmentside of the fence. We fielded a

(34:14):
slate of candidates of totally grassroots,you know, folks with not up the
titles or political known names. Andwe knew when we took the vote for
secretary, our secretary's nominee took aboutsixty percent of the vote. So what

(34:36):
that told us was we were ina position to do the fifty percent plus
one. And no, we werein the position to take all the delegates
because we had the fifty percent plusone. But we decided to, you
know, try to unify the party. So we went into negotiations with that
slate, and we came out withthirty eight delegates to the state convention.

(35:00):
They got thirty seven. And andyou know, many years ago, I
was involved in a caucus in ninetysix and we took all the delegates.
Same situation, and Wagner was acommitteeman there and was there today or at
the caucus this round. It waslike deja vu for me. We were
in the position to take all thedelegates, but that caused such a rift

(35:22):
in the party when we did that, and that was led by John Bruner's
father, Jack Brunner, who Iwas under his tutelage at the time.
That created such a rift in theparty. And you know, we're trying
to unify the party. Yes,everyone's for Trump, we know Trump's gonna
win. But what we were afraidof was to send some of those people

(35:43):
on their slate we know for afact are not real friendly to Trump.
I know, well, real quickly, Ben, I'm looking at the list
you said, are you Yeah,that's okay. I'm looking at the list
you sent me, and I don'tneed to mention names on down the list,
but I'm looking at you people notonly in the media, but also
who have been active and also whoare now at the higher regions of politics

(36:06):
in Missouri media and then of courseat the higher level who were not there
for Trump in twenty sixteen. They'vekind of they've kind of reimagined themselves and
morphed themselves into big time Trump supporters, but they weren't there in the good
old days when we all actually werefighting tooth and nail. And in fact,

(36:28):
we're marginalized by some of them asbeing not conservative and not real Republicans
because we supported Trump. So itis interesting to see this list of these
people because I know who they are, and I remember what they were.
I remember how they talked on theair and off the air. I remember

(36:49):
how they talked when they were inthe legislature. I remember how they talked
when they were behind the scenes atthe committee meetings. And now suddenly there's
a bunch of them on the Dell, on the delegant team. Wow.
Well, I'm glad they're coming ourway. But huh, well, I
you know, that's yet to beseen. We've got a we have to
go to the Actually, the nextstep in this process is to go to

(37:12):
the congressional convention. And at theCongressional Convention, we will show up with
one more delegate than Actually it's it'svery complicated, and it's meant to be
complicated, but suffice to say,there's some drama ahead. Probably if we
can hold it together as a unifiedTrump team, that's gonna be awesome,
because that's the goal. That wasthat's my goal from for thirty years,

(37:35):
Jamie, and maybe we can pullit off this time round. I just
am gonna be guarded. We're gonnafight for the true grassroots Trump team.
One thing to point out, thepeople on our ultimate slate now'll get you
those names, the negotiated thirty eightare the very people who ran the Trump

(37:57):
Trump campaign in sixteen in spite ofthe of the Republican establishment. And when
I heard you talking with the Secretaryof Jamie Murphy, yeah, you replayed
the interview a couple of times.You were signaling to us that you knew
what was going on. Oh yeah, you were exactly right. You and
I knew that. And I thought, well, I'm gonnattempt to talk to
Jamie about this again. These allthese people who found a new religion all

(38:22):
of a sudden, they're now makinga list and and again, you know,
I'm glad they're there. I thinkthey thought maybe you and me wouldn't
be around to remember those days,but that has a way of not happening.
And so yeah, Jamie, welljust help me remind the folks what

(38:45):
the reality is, because they've gota they've got a narrative and they're working
it as hard as they can.But it's it's so backfire. You should
have seen the look on the facesand and it was a shame congress Woman
Wagner, okay, and who sheis, But to boo her I thought
was a little a little too far. Really, Oh definitely. I mean,

(39:07):
I mean you and I and listenin the back in the day,
Jamie, I would have. ButI'm trying my best. I promise you,
and I promised the establishment. I'mtrying my best. You guys just
got a Jamie. They pulled everytrick in the book. They told people
that on our slate that they weren'tregistered voters. It was we worked it
out though, and and here weare to fight another day. So yeah,

(39:30):
I think it's that's a little much, the thea boo part, because
I don't know who those people are. But I will tell you though that
it is. I mean, Idon't know how far these guys go,
but I know that I can tellyou. I've got like five people on
that list I see who were solelyusing this whole Trump thing as a self
promotion vehicle. They weren't there backin the day when we were getting our

(39:55):
hands dirty and we were fighting,and we were humiliating by some people,
and we were marginalized by other people. And now some of them are on
that list, and it's like,oh lordie. But anyway, you know,
phoniness is rampant. So what doyou think of the caucus system itself
though, because do you we oughtto go back to the primary, wouldn't

(40:16):
you say? No, I'm nota primary guy. And the way we
run our caucus it has nothing todo with the way Iowa runs their caucus.
The caucus should be run by paperballots at the precinct level, Jamie.
So if I ran my precinct inthe neighborhood, it would be a
couple of my subdivisions near me,and we would gather at a home or

(40:40):
a small meeting room locally, andwe would look at each other in the
eye and vote on paper, andthen we would all very openly and transparently
count the votes, and then wewould roll those numbers up from the from
the precinct to the township level.For the township level, the numbers are

(41:00):
rolled up and verified up to thecongressional level. It happens, you know,
it happens in one evening, andit's all on paper, it's all
it's the way it's supposed to bedone. But this was done the way
it was done in an effort tocontrol the voters basically, and control the
narrative that they're in charge and we'relarge and in charge and we're Trump.

(41:22):
And they did a good job.I'll give them that. Politically they be
but we we prevailed. Yeah,and we we And if you notice,
I mean we threw them a bone. If we had sixty percent of the
house, we should have got morethan a fifty to fifty. But hey,
you know, we're going to workthis out as we moved through the
process. Yeah, yeah, Jamie, thank you so much for having me

(41:43):
on. Yeah, buddy, Ilike, you know, we're back at
it, back in the trenches again. I love I love the fact that
you referred to it as coming outof retirement. I mean, you and
some of the others out there workedso darn hard. And listen, I
remember back in the day. Imean, you were like one of the
you know, I'm not going tobrag about always being like right on top

(42:06):
of it, but I know Iwas there for Trump. That's for sure,
uh in the early days, butyou go back even farther because like
you're the og conservative because you werethere when the pre Trump guy was running,
Pat by Cannon in nineteen ninety three. Well say, I mean,

(42:28):
well yeah, Pat was Trump beforeTrump. Yeah yeah, and we much
of the same thing went down,and you know it was the establishment against
them. You know, those arejust amazing stories. And I guess you
know, one day I woke upand you know that thirty years slips by
you in you're in your sixties,and it's like wow, blink of an
eye, folks, Yeah, youknow, live it up. Well he
got a chance. Oh yeah,yeah. Man. Well you know the

(42:50):
story of my dad and Pat byCannon were best buddies back in the day
that my aunt dated at Buchanan backin the day, and we had a
talk about it. But I'm prettysure your mother and my mother hung out
up at the bowling alleys at thetrompic Canna that's where I was raised,
at the Tropicana. Well, mymother was spent some time in there because

(43:12):
that was the after hours bowling jointwhen they'd leave all the joint. She
was in the in the restaurant business. So you know, you get out
midnight one o'clock, you have togo somewhere they get out, you know.
They the Tropicana was the top ofthe list. I was. I
was socialized in the Tropicana babysitting roombecause my mom was in the bowling league.
And and and we'd go and I'dgo every morning there. I never

(43:36):
forget that sliding glass door when Iwas a kid, and that was like
the first sliding glass door, uhin the country. I think the automatic
sliding glass door, I mean uh. And I would walk through there and
and I would go, and that'swhere I spent a majority of my mornings
as a baby, as a asa kid, socializing with other bowling kids

(44:00):
and we I have time in mylife there and that's when they all smoked
in the place. It was likecrazy, man, and I come out
smelling like smoke. But I rememberthose days. And by the way,
your aunt wasn't named Josie, wasshe no my aunt? Okay? Because
Pat Buchanan. She was a broadcaster, I don't know, see the weather

(44:21):
Girl or something for KMOX. Andit's a funny part of that story is,
let's tell it by my aunt dumpedhim because she said he wasn't interested
in me, he was interested inpolitics. Yeah, well, because I
was asking he was Josie. BecauseI remember my parents had a cocktail party
pretty much every day. But theyhad a cocktail party where where where Denny

(44:45):
Walsh and Bill Fustele and Joe Larrenceand uh these guys with the Globe Democrat
and then Pat Buchanan who was atthe Globe at the time. And Pat
Buchanan came with his girlfriend Josie,and uh they got a snout full,
and he he had a he hada convertible. And at the time we

(45:07):
lived in New City in the andthe neighborhood was chained off. You know,
you'd have change that would keep theriff raff out, you know.
And uh so Patty Cannon with asnoutful, has Josie in the passenger seat,
and they just basically damn near decapitatedthemselves because he ran right through the
chain. If it wasn't for thewindshield they had, they had their heads

(45:31):
cut off by a change. Butthat was his girlfriend, Josie. Man,
it was a And then Patty Cannonwent to work for Nixon, and
you know the rest is history.Yeah, those are good times. I
love it that we've re established.I'd like to think I could give you
regular reports on our progress. Youmake the call let me know, all

(45:51):
right, buddy, no doubt.Man, I love you, and thanks
for all your hard work and yoursense of humor and your dedication. Man.
I always love talking to you.Love you too, Jamie. Have
a great day, all right,my friend. I appreciate you. Yeah,
Julie says her parents met at theTropicana. That's a that's a great
that's a great place. It stillis. I think. Then then then

(46:13):
it's weird, because then I wouldI was like thirteen and twelve, after
I sold newspapers at World News,me and my friends would go and spend
all of our money on the pinballmachines. And they a whole row of
pinball machines at the Tropicana. Andeven then it was a quarter, you
know, like in nineteen seventy sixor seventy seven or what it was,

(46:35):
it was a quarter, and weplayed pinball. We literally just absolutely divested
ourselves of the entirety of our earningswhile working at restaurants and the selling newspapers
and stuff, playing pinball half thetime and so and so. I would
walk right past the place where Iwas babysat. I'll never forget that place.

(46:59):
It was actually pretty. I wasexcited to go there and see all
my peeps, my bowling kids,and I wish someday we'd have a reunion.
I don't think we can find anybody. Troll Linn says she was on
the Facebook page as she was inthere, So yeah, it was great.
I mean, but that sliding glassdoor is epic. Man, that

(47:21):
thing is still there, and Iguarantee you in nineteen sixties, that was
one of the first sliding doors onthe planet. So it was great.
By the way, my mom couldn'tstand Pappy Cannon because the problem is these
guys would all get it when hedidn't get in a car and almost take
the head off of his girlfriend.They would sleep on the floor of our

(47:42):
living room, and my mom hatedthat those guys all got drunk and slept
on the floor of my living room. Out of our living room first time
ever had a sardine though. Meand my PJS man, I'd go it,
fed me a sardine and then setme upstairs. I sat there on
my mom and dad's bed and watchedthe bridge over River Quay. Can you
