Hour 3-Jim Talent

Jim Talent joins us this hour to give us his thoughts on the STOU. 

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Good morning, everybody happy fancying Friday. It's all in the morning, and
it's common sense Radio. And yes, one of the stars of yesterday's You
Know What show was not under thanMarjorie Taylor Green, who did not heed

(00:23):
the pre advice of the news mediaand others finger wagging hall monitors to make
sure that she upheld decorum at theState of the Union address. There was
no such thing as decorum, andJoe Biden made sure of that as he
put it right out the window,not not to mention, out of the

(00:45):
blocks threatening the US Supreme vow.I respect justices. Women are not without
elect electoral power. Excuse me,electoral or political power. You're about to
realize just how much you've brought aboutas he mumbles his way, And it
was like a two minute sustained standingovation with the flying monkeys of the Democrat

(01:08):
Party all hovering around and standing aroundthe US Supreme Court. At that point,
decorum's out the window. There's noneed to play the game anymore.
And I'm glad Marjorie Taylor Green wasthere and suited up when the game started.
Oh she had her hat on,she had her color. I mean,

(01:30):
it's too bad we don't have morerepublic Can you imagine she was the
only one like that out of allof our Republican congress people. She was
the only one who came ready forthe fight. And that's what the state
of the Union is going to be. I hope actually it deteriorates into just
an all out food fight next timearound. And when President Trump was president,

(01:55):
I hope it's the same way becausehe and we'll have more people who
will be ready to fight, andmaybe there'll be some punches thrown or something,
but we might as well go aheadand go all out. I mean,
if it's gonna go that way,let's just let it all just hang
out, you know, and anddo it that way. Oh and by
the way, the other thing thatMarjorie Taylor Green did was she got Joe

(02:17):
Biden to use the term illegal,which was crazy because you'd never think that
a Democrat. They don't even mentionthe word illegal. They've undocumented, you
know, they won't even say theword homeless. They are unhowls. I
mean, these people are all twistedand bizarre. But yeah, Marjorie Taylor

(02:38):
Green got Joe Biden to kind oflight his hair on fire there I'd be
a winner, not really, ILincoln and then is a young woman who

(03:01):
was killed? Why? And illegal? That's right, but how many of
the thousands of people being killed bylegal? I mean, that's that's good
way to go, MTG. Yougot Joe Biden to go ahead and just
uh call him illegals. And so, of course, you know, Nancy
Nancy Pelosi went on the uh CNNand and and she wasn't happy that he

(03:27):
used that term. You know,they should have said undocumented, but it's
not. Yeah, he should havesaid undocumented. Yeah, well, too
late. He already was tricked intousing the terminology by Marjorie Taylor Greed.
So that was a real big advancement. Then afterwards, CNN came out with
one of these live polls. Itwas a poll of people who were uh

(03:53):
watching the watching this on CNN.Uh and and so what do you think
you're gonna get when you've got Imean, who watches that you're gonna if
you're if you're already on CNN,you're watching on CNN, you're all you
already love Joe Biden. That's that'sthere's no doubt about that, because you

(04:16):
want him to have a speech thereand then and then you want all the
people on CNN to love his speechand talk about how amazing it was and
a tour in the forest, whichis exactly what they did. They don't.
They don't mention that he called thismurdered woman Lincoln instead of Lincoln.

(04:38):
They don't even they don't even mentionthat he's you realize, he said thousands
and thousands have been killed by illegals, So so she got him to say
that too, even though that's technicallynot true. But who's counting, right?
But yeah, here's here's the here'sthe post State of the Union poll

(04:58):
CNN. Yeah, Anderson, Ishould just remind everyone this is a poll
of speech watchers, so it's nota pole that is representative of the electorate
overall, the way people are usedto watching poles. In fact, in
this sample of speech watchers, whichis normal, it's a little more democratic
than the public is at large.Yeah, well, at least they're mentioning
it, right, But listen,listen to the number on it. This

(05:21):
is this is how desperate they Democratsare for any kind of good news.
And anytime Joe Biden completed a sentence, it was a major victory for these
people kind of like, uh,I don't want to go there, but
you know, you know what Imean. It's kind of like Joe Biden's

(05:42):
special, you know, And soanytime he's able to achieve some minor thing
like walking in the right direction orcompleting a sentence without mumbling through the words,
they consider that to be a tourativeforce. It's Churchillian as far as
they're concerned. So it's gotten tothat point. And you know what I'm

(06:03):
talking about being special, So he'she's kind of like, you know,
any little step that he takes isapplauded. And so these are the people
responding to this. Find this Whena Democrat is president, more Democrats tend
to overrepresent and tune into the speech. Same thing happens on the Republican side
when a Republican is president. Sowhy even do the poll then, I

(06:27):
mean, if there's going to bethis much qualification of the poll on the
part of the Sea and End guy, he's talking us out of actually believing
in any credibility of the poll beforehe tells us what the poll results are,
which is really interesting, And hespends almost thirty seconds telling us that

(06:49):
this poll really doesn't mean anything,but he's gonna tell us about it anyway.
The our makeup hears about thirty sevenpercent Democratic, thirty percent Republican,
thirty three percent independent, so abouteight points more Democrat than the country is
as a whole. With that inmind, take a look at it.
Go ahead and do it anyway.And there's no way that the CNN watchers

(07:14):
are thirty percent Republican. I mean, there might be a chance of that,
and obviously every once in a whileI'll check in, do it,
because you want to know what theenemy is up to. But still thirty
percent, no, I doubt it. These results here reaction to Biden speech.
Among those watching it tonight, thirtyfive percent said they had a very
positive reaction, twenty nine percent somewhatpositive reaction. That's sixty four percent their

(07:39):
total, and thirty five percent hada negative reaction. Who wouldn't, I
mean, after sitting through an hourof some screaming, snarling, dippy old
man, I mean, everything wasnegative. There was no positivity there at
all, And of course I wouldexpect that from Joe Biden doesn't have to

(08:01):
be but he he went, hetook it to a whole new level of
snarl and yelling and you know,shaming the US Supreme Court. It was
just we we can look at thatvery positive number. How does that compare
with Biden's speeches to joint sessions ofCongress past here, Well, you can
see thirty five percent this year,thirty four percent in twenty twenty three,

(08:24):
forty one percent in twenty twenty two, and fifty one percent twenty twenty one.
His poll numbers go down here withreviews of his speech, kind of
like they have overall with his jobapproval ratings. Biden's policies will they move
the United States in the right directionor wrong direction? Sixty two percent said
they're going to move in the rightdirection. Thirty eight percent said they're going

(08:46):
to move the country in the wrongdirection. But keep that there's there's no
way that sixty two percent of peoplewatching this, I guess there is a
way. Since they're mostly Democrats,they have to say that. But sixty
two percent think that Biden's policies aretaking it will take us in the right

(09:07):
direction. There's no chance, althoughagain he goes back and kind of waters
down the effect of the number.Keep that an eye on that. Sixty
two percent, because we also askedhow people felt that way prior to the
speech, and if you compare here, before the speech started, these speech
watchers only forty five percent said Biden'spolicy would move the US in the right

(09:31):
direction. With watching the speech,that went up from forty five percent to
sixty two percent. Just no way, there's no way that that. It
went up almost twenty points before andafter the speech, and there was nothing
that Joe Biden said in any way, shape or form related to policy whatever

(09:56):
that could have possibly. I mean, again, you have to understand that
people watch CNN and Republicans don't watchCNN. Republicans aren't checking out what Anderson
Cooper, Gloria Vanderbilt's son has tosay. They're just not doing it.
And Jake Tapper and all these otherclowns. There's no way but forty five

(10:20):
to sixty two. So this isthe spin after all this. I mean,
you had Joe Scarborough talking about thiswas a brilliant, this is amazing,
Tour de forrest whatever, So itdidn't really matter what came out of
Joe Biden's mouth. They were gonnalavish praise on him because he actually got
there. I guess I mean,he still hardly knew where he was going.

(10:45):
He was so embarrassing and he wasreally super mean, Which is why
I and I'm glad because we wereable to see the real guy here and
were able to see what we're trulyup against for twenty twenty four and we
know that we have a fight onour hands that has to be had.

(11:09):
This has to be a political deathmatch, and somebody has to win and somebody
has to lose. If you hadany if I had any ounce of respect
or even empathy left for Joe Biden, it absolutely went completely and totally out
the window yesterday. It was anembarrassment. He was nasty, he was

(11:37):
evil, He was disrespectful and disgustinglyso to the US Supreme Court, he
was a bully, screamer and aliar. Other than that, the speech
was wonderful three point four or fivefive Sixfore, your commentary is welcome here.

(12:01):
It's the Almond in the Morning Show. It's All in the Morning and
it's common Sense Radio. Happy Fridayto all of you and yours. Jamie
Allman here with you one a Fourniteand patriots. You're in the right place.
So if you just want to makesure you know exactly what the playing
field is here. Uh, andand how you should have no illusions about

(12:22):
what the left and what the Democratsare after. And Amy, hang on,
I'll take your call here in asecond. Uh. The insufferable intoxicated
lush Nicole Wallace is on MSNBC andshe lays it out here. This is
this is this is what the Democratsand what the left envision for the next
eight months about them apple speech forme. And then this moves out this

(12:46):
is what the fourth So you knowwe've watched this before. I think that
grabbing the room by you know,he started with World War Two and the
Civil War and rooted the threat facingour country from my predecessor in those two
you know, epic battles, andthen he quit it run a wagon.
It was like a punch in theface every Republican in the room. And

(13:07):
that's how it started. Yeah,the punch in the face to every Republican
in the room. If that's howthey want to play the game, we
know how to punch. And weactually absolutely have one of the best pugilists
on the planet in the form ofDonald J. Trump. And let's not
hold back this is war and I'mhappy about it. Amy Live One,

(13:28):
Good morning, How are you doing? Thanks for calling the show. I'm
great, How are you good?Good? What's up? Well? You
know, I just I'm so tiredof everybody talking about how, you know,
Joe Biden goes to church every Sundayand Donald Trump doesn't. But then
last night, you know, hejust praised his abortion and I don't understand

(13:54):
how the Catholic Church even gives himcommunion. It just makes me sick.
Well, yeah, yeah, becausehe's he's he's a special one, that's
why. Because he has special dispensation. And I don't think he goes to
church every Sunday either, Not thatit necessarily matters, but if you're going
to toubt yourself as this devout youknow, Catholic or what have you,

(14:16):
then maybe maybe you probably should.But the idea that he can actually also,
you know, for a decision madeby a Supreme Court regarding overturning Roe
versus Wade, for him to decidethat that's going to be his time to
basically threaten the Supreme Court for makingits decision. At that point, all

(14:37):
bets are off. I mean,that was really really bad. It's evil.
It's it just he just looked likean evil, just horrible person.
Well because he is, but itjust, you know, I just I've
just seen in the media so manytimes how they're like, oh, you
know, Donald Trump didn't even goto church, and look at Joe Biden

(14:58):
leaving church. Well cares if thoseare your beliefs. I mean, at
that point, I don't. Idon't understand how he's welcome in the Catholic
Church. Yeah, at least atleast Donald Trump is honest about it.
And and he he doesn't go tochurch, uh and doesn't push himself out

(15:20):
there as some kind of pure personuh and is vulnerable and everything else.
I'll take one of those people oversome so called church going goodie guy any
day. And that's why it justis so infuriating that nobody calls him out.
No, yeah, no, theywon't. And and and it's too

(15:43):
bad that we don't have more Republicansdoing that. I mean, you know
exactly, We've We've got We've gotDonald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green. I
mean, that's it. Yesterday atthe State of a City of Union address,
you could tell look how unified allof these people wore on the Democrat
side. You know, all thewomen wearing their white dresses, uh,

(16:07):
in supportive abortion, you know,but but at least, but at least
they're unified on the matter. Imean, uh, we can't even be
unified against killing babies. It's likenobody, why why not have a Why
not have the women of the RepublicanParty dressed in black then, you know
what I mean? Or do somethinginstead of having poor Marjorie Taylor Green,

(16:30):
the only one with the make AmericaGreat Again had on a T shirt.
It's like, it's pretty crazy,right, Well, we're chickens, That's
what it is. Everybody's so worriedabout offending somebody or you know, it's
it's so disappointing. And and whydidn't Donald Trump? He did a pre
buddle, but why didn't Donald Trumpdo the Republican rebuttal to the State of

(16:53):
the Union address? That would havebeen perfect, that would have shown a
Republican party with some guts, Andinstead we had this weird Katie Britt in
her kitchen thing. I get whatthey were trying to do, which was,
you know, well let's get let'sget a softer tone. And Katie
Britt is the is the angst riddenmom and wife, and like, I

(17:15):
get it, lots of people feelthat way. But her delivery and everything
else was so weird and I couldn'tget my hands around it. It was
really creepy. And why not justgo ahead and play the game the correct
way with the best quarterback you haveand let him let her rip. I
don't understand why they didn't do that. Well, we never do. We

(17:37):
never do. We always have thisthis weird plan that they think, you
know, if we design it perfectlyor we do this perfectly, it's gonna
it's gonna work, and it neverdoes. Yeah, no doubt about it.
I just you know. And I'mglad he did the pre bubble because
and it's so funny how preciate Trumpalways is, because here he is giving

(17:59):
the rebuddle, and thank goodness,we at least had that, because the
rebuddle, the official one, wasterrible. I think in words it was
perfect, but in delivery it wasjust way out there and weird. And
so I'm glad we actually had somethingto play with there from the Republican side,
right right. Well. And thething is, like you said,

(18:21):
she I think what she was sayingwas really good, but yes, her
eyes and her weird smile and herkind of starting to cry. Yeah,
lost, I was waiting, youknow, once they saw the replay,
I was waiting for like a oneeight hundred number to kind of roll across
the bottom for some something. Youknow. It was so I was actually

(18:45):
listening to it as opposed to watchingit, and so listening to it was
even weirder, especially since I gotinto it mid stream and so and so
I was like, I was like, what is this could have imag what
my story? I mean, Iwas just like, what is she crying?
Or like, what's happening here?Anyway? God, you know,

(19:07):
I'm sure she's she's a good personand she tried. Oh yeah, absolutely,
all right, Amy, Well thankyou for calling that position, I
mean, very bad position. Yeah. I mean you had to come up
with something. And she is reallywell put together in terms of her policies
and her positioning, so I'll giveher that. It just was I I

(19:30):
just wish a couple of Republicans wouldhave just like one rebuttal that didn't have
some thing attached to it that wasdistracting, you know, like remember Marco
Rubio gulping water, and you know, it just was college. Since we
can't do so get Trump up there? You know who can actually you know

(19:53):
that can withhold the pressure? Imean, just or why not Marjorie Taylor
Green? You know, I meanwhy not somebody of that of that ILK
who's a fighter? You know?All right, Well, thank you,
Amy. I hope you have awonderful weekend, and thanks for listening to
the show. Thank you, allright, see you, Jimmy talent is

(20:14):
on the way. This is afancy Friday, it's common sense Radio.
And yeah, do we know whyTrump didn't do the rebuttal? What's wrong
with the Republican Party anyway? That'sat least we had his prebuddle though the
All New what all four nine?The Patriots? Should I get figure out

(20:37):
why President Trump wasn't chosen to dothe official rebuttal. I feel like it
was a great opportunity that ultimately wasmissed. Since we know that Trump is
going to be running against Joe Bidenin twenty twenty four, so it's not

(20:59):
like that's mystery now. And soI'm not quite sure why the Republican Party
didn't go ahead and jump right outof the blocks and say, hey,
let's go ahead and have Trump tothe rebuttal. It is perfect. I
don't think there are any rules asto who does the rebuttal for the Republican
Party. And Mind is on therun from his record and lying like crazy

(21:22):
to try and escape accountability for thehorrific devastation he and his party have created,
all the while they continue the verypolicies that are causing this horror show
to go. I mean, whywouldn't he do it? And what's the
Republican Party trying to achieve by havingthis weird Katie Britt thing going on as

(21:45):
a rebuttal that made pretty much everybodyon the planet uncomfortable. Never could have
imagined what my story would entail.To think about what the American Dream can
do across to just one generation injust one lifetime. It's truly breathtaking.

(22:07):
But is this a pamper's commercial orlike, what is this? And I
but again, I love the content, The content was great, the the
acting was just too much. Rightnow, the American Dream has turned into
a nightmare for so many families.I mean, and it's true though,

(22:30):
but she went from this like smiling, gushy almost to the point where it
seemed like she was crying because Iwas listening to it to this, you
know, her face just immediately changedinto this you know, drawn face and
the nightmare thing. It was like, okay, wow, that was that
was quite a transition there, KatieBrett. Anyway, good person, great

(22:51):
content, weird, creepy delivery forsure, But who am I to critique
that? Jim tallon How you doingmy friend? Former Senator Jim tallant on
the show, How you doing withmy friend? I'm doing very well,
Jamie. So, uh, myguess is I'm sorry, I'm addressing the

(23:11):
point my question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So my guess is that
they wanted two speeches instead of one. I mean, if if Trump gives
the rebuttal, we get one speech. I mean, I if Trump does
a prebuddle and then she does therebuttle, we get to So that's probably
that's And as to the delivery,you know, the only thing I'll say

(23:36):
is it's kind. It's it's youknow, the manner in which you give
a speech. Different people like differentkinds of things. Yeah, right,
so there probably was some idea abouttargeting particular groups with that. I mean,
you know, her speech was obviouslyvery different in delivery than Trump's and

(23:59):
they both they both made the samepoints. I mean overall, I was
pleased because I think they focused onwhat Biden's policies are doing to the American
people, contrasted that with what thingswere like when President Trump was in office,
which I think is the main message. And no, I have to
say, I was out to dinnerlast night, so I've only seen some

(24:22):
clips of what she did, andI've looked at a transcript of what Biden
did. And by the way,this is interesting. The transcript I got
from a website of a competitor,so I want to use, so I
won't mention who it is. Andit did not contain the language relating to
Gaza. And I had said yesterdayI did a couple of interviews, and

(24:45):
I said, I bet they're writingthe Middle Eastern language right now, and
they can't decide what they're going tosay. Now. I may have missed
it. It's not like I readvery closely every word of that speech,
but I did scan it twice andI didn't see anything on Gaza. And
I'm wondering if they wrote that andadded it very late. Yeah, they

(25:10):
can't decide what to say because they'recaught in the political mind and he's desperate
politically in a lot of ways,but including the Middle East. Yeah.
Well, so really there was obviouslya difference in style between the rebuttal from
Katie Britt and this and biden speechsBiden was. I mean, I guess

(25:30):
this is what the Democrats want,is they want somebody to scream and yell
and shame the US Supreme Court anddo all kinds of things that are really
truly just kind of vile and unbecoming. But that's what the Democrats want because
he's being widely praised for it.And so as long as he just raised

(25:56):
his voice and screamed at people andscowled and snarled, that was good enough
for them, as opposed to justwatching him stumble and not know where he
is. So I guess their preferenceis to have him be just an angry,
stumbling old man as supposed to justa stumbling old man. Well,
my guess is that the both whathe said and the manner of it.

(26:21):
Well, first, it's one oftwo things. One of them is that
may have been the best style toget him through the speech. Yeah,
in other words, you know,yelling and everything. It might have been
easier for him than actually, youknow, if you look at a well
delivered speech, you know how itgoes. Yeah, there are moments when
you go when you when you're quieter, and then you build it up and

(26:42):
you have a climax and all thatsort of thing. But the other possibility
is that they're trying to reinforce theirbase and some parts of which they're losing
now. And you know when thathappens, when you think you're losing your
base as a politician, the firstthing you want to do is get them
back. I mean, that's moreimportant than almost anything else I'm speculating now.

(27:02):
I mean, I don't know.I'm also assuming a logic to it.
It may not have been there wherethey just obviously parts of that speech
were thrown together. But I mean, the basic message is what I thought.
Starts off saying things are great andit's because of me, and then
things are terrible and it's because ofthe Republicans, and then a bunch of
promises, and then introduce some sympatheticpeople, so you're hoping everybody has to

(27:27):
applaud at the end. I mean, that's really where it was, you
know, And this point in whichhe shamed the Supreme Court over the overturning
of Roe versus Waged. Obviously,that was designed, and the whole thing
is designed because the Democrat Party wantsmore than anything to have the abortion issue

(27:48):
back at the federal level. Theywant, they want, they want this
more than anything. And unfortunately thereare a lot of Republicans talking about federalizing
abortion laws again after we work sohard to overturn Rovers's way and send them
back to the States. But thisis an indication, including all the women
in white and all this kind ofstuff, they want abortion to be an

(28:08):
issue in twenty twenty four, andwe shouldn't let them have it. Yeah,
in part, that's the process ofelimination, which is how politicians think.
I mean, the first thing youdo is eliminate the things you can't
say, and then you choose fromwhat remains, and this is one of
the things they can say. Now, you notice what he did not address

(28:30):
is the fact that the consumer PriceIndex has gone up eighteen percent under his
stewardship. Food has gone up twentypercent. The median income is down in
real terms as against inflation thirty sixhundred dollars a year. So the average
American. It's like they took apay cut of three hundred dollars a month.

(28:52):
It's just a credit card debt isat a record level one point one
trillion, I mean, and thennine million people and this is what they
admit to have crossed the border underBiden. Every month there have been more
people under Biden than in the highestmonth under Trump. And it's directly because,

(29:12):
I mean, there is no questionthey took office and deliberately dismantled the
arrangement, the architecture that Trump's peoplehad set up. It took President Trump
because it took some time. Ittook a couple about eighteen months, I
think, for them to put inplace the policies that got control of the
border, and they dismantled it inthe first couple of months and ever since,

(29:37):
because they dismantled the policy and themessage it sent, if you can
get to the border, you canget in. We're in this situation.
And naturally it doesn't talk about anyof that, so you know, it
was about what I expected. ButI am interested. I'm going to look
at that transcript again to make certainthat there was no discussion of Israel and

(29:57):
what is this port in Kaza.I mean, nobody's ever suggested the problem
with getting aid to the to Gaza. Isn't that logistical? It's Hamas,
you know, yeah, I meanif you give aid, you if you
just send an aid to Gaza rightnow, you're sending an aid to Hamas.
That is what they just take itall so you know, they'll eat.

(30:21):
The Israelis are getting as much aidas they can get in without giving
it to Hamas. Will be likeus sending aid to the Nazis. It's
like us sending aid to burchase gardenright in nineteen forty three. I mean,
you know, no, you don'tdo that well in the aid that's
already been given, and keeping inmind that Israel is the one that has

(30:41):
been giving them electricity everything else outof the goodness of their hearts actually,
but Hamas is intercepting it. Andif the Gazans want food and water,
just ask Kamas because they have it. So one thing that's interesting is that
Kamala Harris the other day flat outcall for a cease fire. I mean,
is that the is that the Bidenadministration policy? Well, I mean

(31:07):
we don't know. Uh, they'reping ponging back and forth because of the
political problems they're in. And bythe way, everybody in the Middle East
can see how desperate they are politically, So we're going to get played in
the next date or nine months.I mean, just take I mean and
not just by Hamas. I meanlike the Saudis, for example. Know

(31:27):
how badly we screwed up our relationshipwith them, and they're they're going to
try and get as much as theycan out of us without you know,
without agreeing to anything. They wantto wait until after the election, you
know, to get serious. Imean, it's just his Middle Eastern policy
has been an utter disaster. Andthe reason is we've talked about this before.

(31:48):
He actually believes that we can getpeace in the Middle East and protect
our interests by a partnership with Iran, which everybody in the regime thinks,
in the in the region thinks it'scrazy, because it is crazy. Yeah,
I mean, Hamas has built anetwork of proxies, you know,
and supply depots and supply chains becausethey want to control the region. And

(32:13):
what we should have been doing waswhat Trump was doing, which is partnering
with the Gulf States. You know, the UAE has normalized relationships with Iran
because of Biden's policies saying well,if you guys are going to be that
crazy, we'll cut the best dealwe can with their run. So,
look, we need President Trump back. I mean, let's just say it,

(32:35):
okay, because if nothing just commonsense, you know, we need
back in the White House. Well, are we going to have enough Republican
support of that? I just feellike even last night it's like we've got
We've got Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greenand everybody else is just kind of like
really quiet and demure and everything else. So are we gonna be able to

(33:00):
do this with the I didn't watchthe speech, but absolutely we can pull
the coalition together. I mean,this is not really any different than any
other situation where you had a setup prime you know, primaries, you're
gonna have some people who are disappointed, and and the person who wins needs
to do what the president is nowdoing, which is, uh, you

(33:21):
focus on the messages that unite everybody, and the message that unites everybody,
and it's also very good for reachingout to undecided voters. Independence is Look,
I mean it's the truth. Itwas. It was things were pretty
good. Under President Trump. They'vebeen terrible under Biden, and they can
be good again. And I thinkif we talk about that absolutely now.
Is everybody who's gonna vote for DonaldTrump super enthusiastic about Donald Trump? No,

(33:47):
I mean was the case with anypolitician. I mean, there are
all There were people who went inwhen I was running and looked at the
beaut and said, uh, Iguess I'll vote for talent. Yeah,
but those those cost the count too, right, and and those are the
people we need. It is interestinghow Biden, in his attack on the

(34:07):
US Supreme Court, also seemingly attackedthe one remaining functional branch of government,
which which which must actually be uhbe the reason why it also felt good
to attack them, because uh they'rethey're the they're the one branch of government

(34:27):
that seems to actually have a guidepostuh and and have a mission and of
course it's constitutionally based hopefully uh andand and it's it's I don't think it's
any accident that that's that he targetedthem, uh with that, with that
shameful uh threat and beyond, soI think that was part of it.

(34:50):
Well, Jamie, let let melet me say this, uh A robust
and independent judiciary is an absolute necessityin a in a free country, in
a republic or democracy, it reallyis. And the State of the Union
address is not the place to playpolitical games with that issue. Now,
if there's something the courts are doingthat you really think is hurting the people

(35:14):
and you want to talk about itin a serious way, I guess you
can do that, but you shouldnot do what he did. I mean,
I know we don't like to talkabout norms anymore, but you know
they're ones accusing the President Trump ofviolating norms. I mean, you really
should not do that in that wayin a State of the Union address.

(35:35):
And I cringe even today, youknow when I see that sort of thing
happening. But I know why theydid it. It's politics. They don't
want to talk about the big issuesthat I just discussed. They don't want
to talk about the economy, theydon't want to talk about the border,
they don't want to talk about crime, and they don't want to talk about
the disasters in Eastern Europe and inthe Middle East. Uh And because those

(36:02):
have all happened on his watch becauseof his policies. Yeah, and a
disaster at the border. Obviously that'sin facting everybody exactly exactly. And so
again I mean I I do,I do want us that's a coalition I'm
a part of. Uh. Idon't want us to ping pong from triumphalism

(36:22):
to then well can we do it? You know what I mean. It's
it's it's gonna be tough, butbut we absolutely can do it. And
I think we've gotten a good startnow, I really do. So,
Yeah, let's just go out andfinish the job in the next eight months.
Yeah, no doubt about it.We just need all hands on deck.
And unfortunately, I sometimes feel likesome of these guys aren't aren't read

(36:46):
ready to rock and roll. Butwe'll see, we'll see. But you
know what, Jamie listen, Imean, really look for it when you
like you see Republican congressman and senatorsand what they're saying. I remember,
the media is not going to featurethe Republics who are saying good things about
Trump or or who are you know, you know, they're going to feature

(37:06):
the few who say something that's questionable. But I everybody wants to win,
and and that's a very powerful motivefor politicians. I guarantee you. Okay,
yeah, no, I'm I'm I'mwith you on that level, buddy.
I appreciate you, and I thinkI think it's just one you know,
like Mitch McConnell. You know,for a while, you know,
he he didn't initially endorse Donald Trump. Uh, and then the endorsement came

(37:32):
as he quit basically uh. AndI don't blame him for doing that.
And it just seems to me thatthey're just the energy wasn't there. And
it seems like he quit because heknew that he was no longer really gonna
do what he was doing, uh, if Trump came back. And so
I don't know, I think there'sa lot there. I just I just

(37:53):
want us to want us to geton the stick and and and have everybody
on board. Can I point I'lljust point on something. McConnell and Trump.
So in the first year of theTrump administration, they had some dust
ups and they were both attacking eachother, yekay, and then they had
a meeting, which I believe McConnellinstigated, and for the next three years

(38:13):
they really worked well together. Imean, you can just go back and
look at Okay, So this isthe thing with politicians. They don't have
to love each other. They justhave to be professional, and I think
they both were. And I thinkmcconald' did a really good job. Well
we could go down the list ofit, but in any event, he's
leaving the stage. He did whathe needed to do. He endorsed Trump,

(38:35):
and he'll say good things for thewhole ticket, including the presidential level.
And let's accept yes for an answer. You know, well, of
all the things that people are criticalof Mitch McCowell, about the one really
great thing he did, I thinkcould possibly outweigh all of the crazy things
and the things that make him thefeeling about him negatively. And the fact

(39:00):
that he intervened on the Merrick GarlandSupreme Court appointment actually not only save the
Supreme Court, but quite possibly couldhave helped Donald Trump get elected because you
had that therefore, he had anopen seat, and that up the stakes

(39:20):
of the election considerably with that openseat there. And so McConnell, that
was that was a pretty big thingthat he did, that was very very
helpful to us. Well, I'lltell you another thing, and I've got
to go back and look at this. We don't get these facts out well
enough. You and I have discussedthat online and offline. But President Trump

(39:43):
had one of the most aggressive regulatoryreform and relief agendas. I mean,
he did a lot in the executivebranch, and the Congress at the beginning
of the Congress passed a number ofbills to get rid of Obama Era regularly,
including in the Senate. McConnell justpowered those through. And he was

(40:04):
able to do that because there's aspecial law that allows you to in the
Senate to pass bills overturning regulations withinlike I forget, I think it's like
ninety days after the issue and itcan't be filibuster. So and mcconnall just
ran those I mean, work rightwith the Trump administration in doing it.
And there's a lot of examples ofthis that you know, and I understand

(40:25):
why. It's not like the mediais talking about this all the time,
but there's a lot of Trump's agenda. People point to the Obamacare replacement.
Well, it's not McConnell's fault thatMcCain voted the way he did. I
mean, I know, mc youknow I worked with McCain, and you
know you can't couldn't They him votethe way you wanted. So people are

(40:46):
working together a lot more than youknow than is evident from what the media
is telling us. So yeah,I think I think we're in pretty good
shape. We just focus on theright things and work very hard. Yeah,
I'm with you, man, needneed that energy too, all right,
Jamie, Well, I hope youhave a wonderful next weekend and we'll
