Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, super Shue, looking forward to a good Monday morning.
On the situation without Michael Brown, Congrats to your lions,
have a great week.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I just hate everybody you find. You find I can
hear you laughing all the way in here through the glass.
Did did you put people up to that? Or is
that the passive aggressive vests of this audience.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Arguably I put in the rules of engagement for when
Michael's gone into the system, and then I'm going through
the talkbacks this morning and I find that one.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was like, well, my decision's pretty easy. So someone
did those rules of engagement for last week.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, somebody made them several months ago, earlier
this year, and whenever you're not here.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I play it. Oh, i'd never heard it before.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, you're not here.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It makes sense that you wouldn't have heard it before. Well, yes,
I would have thought that, you know, a producer would
have told me, Hey, we got some funny rules of
engagement from you know, an audience member that you know
hates your guts and loves it when you're gone, and so,
you know, I think you should hear these just so
you can be irritated about it. Really just like the
fact that when I came in, I told you that
(01:15):
there was this fleeting thought. He's just a total idiot,
I mean a total idiot, but a fleeting thought that
there might have been something, I mean something, what one
little thing done to this studio that I had talked
to the bosses about fixing. One thing, like maybe the
(01:36):
dry wall had been completed.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Really think that you are important?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, no, no, it had it honestly hasn't. I mean
this very sincerely. It has nothing to do with me.
It's when you are away. You know, you're you're you're
on vacation, you're not here, and so your mind wonders,
like I really didn't until I forget how I found out,
(02:03):
But I didn't know that Jimmy was filling in part
time and then then Ryan was going to fill in.
I had no idea, And so then when I found
out that they were there, and I'm just thinking, well,
you know what, maybe this is the week, not because
I'm gone, but just you know, because I They're not
(02:23):
doing it because I'm gone, but because I'm gone. You
think to yourself, oh, this might be the week that
one little thing will happen. So when you come back
into the studio. Something has been done, like the you know,
the most simple thing to be done to this studio
would be replacing the cheap ass blinds that you can
(02:46):
get at home depot. You can go to home Depot
and you can get those blinds for nineteen ninety five.
Just get maybe twenty die ninety five, I don't know.
And the broken block have been broken for at least
a year, if not longer, because I can flake time. Uh,
(03:06):
that might have been done. Or the rap, because you
know that somewhere in this building is this rap. The
rap is is basically our wallpaper that has our logo
and everything on it, and it's been stripped bare and
we have drywall. And I thought, well, maybe that might
be done, or the duct tape might be gone by now. No,
now I really didn't. I never did think that they
(03:29):
would clean the console, you know, like vacuum the I
haven't looked, but you tell me there are food crumbs inside.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But what the electronics, A little cabling ductwork.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There's in the duck working the cabling. Over here there
there's food crumbs. Yeah, the cracker crumbs. Oh, a billion
dollar company. You must be new here, I'm telling you well,
this is what happens. This is why they like, this
is the one they don't like you to take vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Billion dollar company. But look at the bottom right hand
corner of your your screen on those machines.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You go to settings to activate windows. You're talking about that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That little thing billion dollar company. Huh yeah, right?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Or like the fact that I pay, I don't know
what it is, thirty nine to ninety five a month
to have access to all the Adobe programs. So when
I'm recording stuff, I can record stuff at home since
we since we have nobody extra producers to record anything here,
so you have to do your own production at home.
So I actually have a full blown I don't know,
(04:37):
i'd be you know, I don't know what version of.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Adobe Sweet or whatever Creative Sweet.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, the Adobe Creative Sweet. And of course I actually
have camera by it because she gets an educational discount,
so I get it through her. So yeah, I've got
like version you know, ten point zero or something of
Adobe Audition. Whereas here our Adobe Audition. Why I didn't
intend to start out bitching about this this morning, not
(05:04):
at all.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Let's see file, Let's see how do you do this
in windows, I should say in the when'd you open up? Its? Well?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Spoiler alert it's one point oh oh.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh is it? Oh yeah? Oh my god? One point oh.
Before I get into any specific stories at all today,
I just want to give a broad overview of you know, traveling,
as I've always said, changes your perspective. And I wish
(05:41):
that I could take everybody you know on trip. Why
that's a lie? Why am I going to say that
I don't want to take that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
But that ain't true.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's not true at all, So why start lying already
this morning? So I'm not gonna lie about it. I
don't want to take any of you anywhere with me,
but it would be nice all of you on your
own could go other places and see what the world
is like outside your little, you know, your little sphere
where you work and play and do your things. So
(06:13):
I took camera to Hawaii. We had never been. Do
they call is it Oahu that they call the Big Island?
I have no clue. I don't either. Anyway, we would
it's the one island we'd never been to where Honolulu is.
And we stated, this really nice resort that is in
a residential area. It's uh much more expensive than I expected.
(06:38):
And Hawaii is a Democrat controlled state. It is, uh
everything's Democrat. The airport's named after senator, former senator in
a way, who, by the way, was a really I
get to know Daniel in a way when I was undersecretary,
and he was one of the nicest individuals you would
(06:59):
have ever met. And he was while he was a Democrat.
He was not this wild eyed new kind of socialist
Marxist democrat. He was just kind of an old school
JFK kind of democrat. In fact, I think you'd probably
been in the Senate since JFK was there. He was
there that long. He was an old fart when I
(07:21):
knew him. So as we would tool around Hawaii, it
was obvious that it was a democrat controlled state because
other than say, the beaches, and well we get the
tourists too, but other than the beaches, it was a
lot like Colorado. The roads pretty much sucked and other
(07:46):
than you know, and the one thing that struck me
the most. Of course, I didn't notice that when we
landed at in Honolulu, but I noticed it on the
way out. And I noticed it on the way out
because because we were there with our son and daughter
in law, I mean our son in law and daughter,
(08:08):
and so we got to the airport early so they
could go off and go to dinner and do stuff.
And of course then thank you United Airlines. Then you
kept postponing the flight, which irritates the fire out of me,
but nonetheless, so I had a little time to walk
around the airport, and the thing that fascinated me about
the airport was the number we're the number of vacant storefronts. Now,
(08:37):
Hawaii is a major tourist destination, right, I mean, you
got all the international airlines flying in there, You've got
Japanese love to come to Hawaii. I think they think
that since they couldn't, you know, they weren't able to
take it over in December seven, that maybe will take
(08:58):
it over as tourists because the Japanese are everywhere. I mean,
they're just like everywhere, and they have lots of money
to spend. This airport looked like a third world airport.
I mean it was. It was crappy. It was a
total crap airport. And then because we're there early, we
(09:20):
go to the United Club. Now United, If anybody from
United is listening, I've already filled out the question at
the survey, and I've told you. I already told you
how crappy the United Club was. But it was dirty,
it was he was kind of it was a little
like the studio Dragon. Now I think about it, maybe
that's why I felt so comfortable.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Pably felt like home.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It was like being at home, you know. The wallpaper
was peeling, the carpet was nasty. There was no like
normally when you go to get First of all, we decided,
in fact, Tammer refused to eat the food in the club,
which is unusual because I normally eat in the club
because the food in the airport is way too expensive
(10:01):
and I might as well get the free buffet in
the food, I mean, you know, it can be a
cheap ass. I don't care. But the food was crappy.
It was so bad that Tammer said, I'm not eating
this and she went out. She went back down into
the concourse whatever it was, and she found of all
the police, the only place she found open was a
burger King. So Tamar's eating burger King. Well, I'm eating
(10:25):
some sort of pulled pork That ended up making me
think later on. And there was no one you know,
picking up the dishes there was just it was just nasty.
And I thought, he, this is a democrat controlled state,
and you drive around and you see that once again.
And this is not true only in democrat controlled states.
This is true in almost every state where the income
(10:48):
disparity is getting horrendous. There really is no true middle
class anymore. You've got the workers at the resort, You've
got the workers in the at the airport and in
the concessions in the airport, and then you have all
(11:09):
of the wealthy people, and so houses are either horrendously
expensive the around the resort area. I think that my
daughter was curious what real estate prices were. We were
driving through to go somewhere else, and so she looked
up on Zillo or something, and the cheapest house near
(11:31):
that was within you know, say, walking des sense of
the resort, seventeen million dollars. Seventeen million dollars. Then you
get out into the hinterlands and the houses turn really crappy,
and even those are you know, six seven hundred thousand dollars,
and it's just we're going backwards all across the country,
(11:56):
we're going backwards. I thought a lot about Colorado I
I got. I got a little bit of info about
Trump's rally here in Colorado and how he called what
he so he called Jared paulis a chicken s word,
(12:20):
which I thought was hilarious. You know, maybe maybe it's
not presidential, but it sounds like something I would do.
I mean if, in fact, I may have said something
similar when I was speaking to Caldera's you know at
f uh is his thing a few weeks ago. I
may have done the same thing. I may have done
(12:41):
exactly the same thing. And then Polish comes out and
says that he is demented and he's not fit. This
is the new thing about Trump. He's not fit for office.
I think that now he may not be in the
greatest shape in the world, but I think he could
probably outrun Kamala Harris. In fact, he is out running
(13:06):
Kamala Harris. I'm going to talk about that in just
a minute. But I think what he's doing is he's
now speaking to what we all know is true about
the direction of the country. Now, is Donald Trump the
perfect presidential candidate? No? Now, I've told you that in
(13:31):
his first administration, I had four or five friends that
worked very closely with him. In fact, one person who
was a former employee of mine when I was the
undersecretary went on to work on the National Security Council
while Trump was in his first term. He worked for
(13:51):
him for a little over two years and then left
and went back to some think tank or something. But
he and I had a few conversations about Trump's management style.
It wasn't exactly what we were accustomed to with Bush's
management style, but nonetheless it was the kind of style
that is that has made Donald Trump successful. Now I'm
(14:15):
just doing a total oh what's it called, I'm already
having a brain fart this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Outdown.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No, just this kind of stream of consciousness about things
that I was thinking about while I was gone, and
one of them was management styles. You do need to
have a few people around you to manage the Executive
Office of the President because it is large. It contains hundreds,
(14:48):
if not FABA actually contains thousands of people, but in
just the West Wing there are a couple of hundred
people that you do need to manage. So you do
need to have a strong chief of staff and then
maybe a you know, operational chief of staff, and maybe
a policy chief of staff and then your main chief
of staff all to handle all of you know, the
(15:09):
Press Office, to handle the National Security Council, the Homeland
Security Council, to handle all of these organizations within the
executive Office of the President. So Trump's going to need
a strong chief of staff to handle those things. But
it's going to have to be a chief of staff
who is able to kind of be that conduit between
(15:34):
his management style and then being able to manage all
of the staff, because Trump's the kind of guy who's
going to just you know, like the whole idea about
no tax on tips. Everyone thinks that's a great idea. Well,
I think it's a great idea in the sense that
I don't want to pay tax on Social Security, which
(15:57):
was you know, when did that happen in that major
tax reform Act of what nineteen eighty six Ronald Reagan
was happening to be president. Yeah, so you know, why
should I be paying taxes on Social Security? Which is
technically money that I've already paid into the treasury, So
(16:19):
it is, in essence a tax that is actually my money,
and now you're going to tax me on it again.
So while I love the idea about no taxes, on tips,
no taxes on Social Security, being able to deduct the
interest on a loan, all of that stuff is great.
Those are all wild less ideas that he's nonetheless going
(16:40):
to have to get through Congress. And to get those
things through Congress, Congress is going to have to do things.
Like you know, they always ask how are you going
to pay for it? That's the wrong question. The question
should be if we're going to reduce taxes, which we
(17:00):
know the laugh Or curve proves this. The more you
decrease taxes, the more you're going to create new taxpayers.
Because companies are going to expand and grow, they're going
to hire more people, and those people are going to
pay more taxes, and so you're going to get a
net You're going to get a net increase in revenue
(17:24):
to the treasury. So it's not how you're going to
pay for the income tax cuts or the other kind
of tax cuts, because those are going to result of
more income to the treasury. The better question is how
are you going to reduce spending? Because spending is simply
and totally out of control. One of the stories that
(17:46):
I happened to read on the last few days of
vacation was the University of Colorado is getting a grant.
They're getting a two million dollar grant. Now, I know,
in a trillion dollar budget, two million dollars is like,
you know what kind of pocket change you might have.
But this is a classy example of how Congress simply
(18:08):
cannot cut back on spending, and that is something that
we are going to have to do in order to
make this economy grow. So when we get back, let
me tell you about this two million dollars. I know
it's not a lot, but still it's two million dollars
and Colorado's going to spend it regardless of whether it's
worth it or not.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Hollo, Hello, welcome back, Michael. Damn, I've been ready to
swear off six thirty am. Thank god you're back.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. See dragon,
some of them love me.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh wait. That wasn't supposed to be played.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Only when we got because otherwise, if there been anything else,
you could have played that. I love you, guys man.
I'll thank you by the end of the week, but
I love you right now. One of the things that
struck you, know, you just when you step back away
from the day to day news, and you just think
(19:13):
more generally, more broadly about everything going on. You realize
that we're that kind of lie laughing about this, but
we're in deep doodoo. The country's in serious deep doo doo.
And all I could think about was if Kamala Harris
(19:33):
gets elected, for example, I'll get to the two million
dollars to see you in just a second. On CNN
just now, the chirn said something about the United States
is sending one hundred troops to Israel, boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But Michael, they weren't supposed to send any boots on
the ground because they built this big floating pier to
where that they wouldn't have any boots on the ground,
because if there were boots on the ground, then that
would lead to a wider conflict. And that pier got
demolished relatively quickly, and everything, every bit of food that
was delivered on that pier went to the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And did you know that the people that built the
peer that fell apart in the rough seas of the
Mediterranean got some sort of meritorious metals for having built
the pier that fell apart in the rough seas.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'm actually mostly Okay with that, I think because they
did a fantastic feet of engineering. So they did something.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
A fantastic feet of engineering that didn't work.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It worked until it didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay, So I see now I understand why the studio
is the way it is because you personifying you know, hey,
it's fine the way it is until it isn't. Well,
when do we reach the point where it isn't fine anymore?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Simity Christmas? What did you do the whole time I
was gone? He must not have worked at all, for
like the past not you just didn't do feces?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Did you put my feet up and called it good?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Brands? On vacation? I'm on vacation. Except the problem is
when you're on vacation, I still have to perform despite
who's back there. I left to carry on. Yeah right, right,
But but but when I'm gone, you just sit back
there and just push the buttons. You don't do squat there,
you go exactly. So anyway, the Kirn on CNN says
(21:42):
that we're going to deploy one hundred troops, so that's
two hundred boots on the ground, one hundred troops, uh,
in order for them to operate an anti missile system,
so we are apparently going to actively engage in defending it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to this. But
(22:03):
to go back to my point about Kamala Harris, do
you think that Kamala Harris would have you? Do you
honestly believe that she has the brain cells to think
through the unintended consequences or, for that matter, the intended
consequences of putting one hundred troops, say in Tel Aviv
(22:28):
and Jerusalem or somewhere in northern Israel, to help defend
Israel against Hesbi Lah or whatever the Iranians are getting
ready to do, or are we putting the boots on
the ground now. I don't know whether this is breaking news,
but this is the first I've heard of it this morning.
Or are we doing it because Israel is getting I
(22:49):
keep hearing keep reading that Israel has decided which targets
it is going to go after in its retaliation for
the Iranians launching those two hundred missiles into Israel. Do
you think she has the wherewithal to think through what
she should do or should not do. Do you think
(23:12):
if you put Kamala Harris and Let's just go through
a few people. Kamala Harris and Benjamin Nette Yahoo in
the same room. Who do you think wins the argument
in that room? Yeah, Bbie wins that one. Let's put
Kamala Harris and I don't know, Dragon Redbeard in the
(23:35):
same room. Who do you think wins the argument in
that I storm out Dragon? You know, in fact he does.
Dragon Redbeard wins the battle there because she starts bubbering
on or cackles, and he just walks out.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I am from a middle class family. My mom raises
with this lady down the street. Yeah, business owner.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
So now let's put Kamala Harris and Vladimir Putin in
the same room. Vladimir Putin comes riding a horse bear
chested into the room and dismounts the horse and says,
what do you want, sweetheart? What do you what do you?
What do you want? What do you Who do you
think wins that argument? Or Jijing Ping, the guy who's
(24:23):
sitting in the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
and the former leader who is sitting right next to him,
gets disappeared while the entire world watches. You know, maybe
he would disappear Kamala Harris. She doesn't win. She doesn't
win the battle in any room. She can't, she can't,
(24:45):
she can't win the battle anywhere. So we're just in
such a dangerous, precarious position. But I think the good
news is, I really do believe that Donald Trump's going
to win this election. I really do. The New York Times, Axios,
(25:07):
the Wall Street Journal, whom I leave me out. Who
else did I read? Oh, Politico? Those four left wing organizations,
left wing news outlets are all starting to talk about
how hmm, we might want to get prepared for a
(25:27):
Trump presidency. And Kamala Harris is not doing X, Y,
Z AND's, she's failing to do ABC, She's failing to
do all these things. So let's get ready for a
Trump administration. Now that ties in to what I wanted
to talk about with the two million dollars, because all
(25:49):
of these wild, crazy ass ideas that I actually like
about no taxes on different things are going to require
a Congress. It's going to require members of the United
States Senate and the United States House of Representatives actually saying,
you know what, we spent too much money in COVID,
(26:14):
We spent too much money in the Biden administration. And
by too much, I mean by a magnitude of thousands
of times too much money, which is why we have
the continuing inflation. I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna talk about
inflation today. Inflation is actually much worse than we think
it is, and we now have prices that are that
(26:36):
are continuing to albeit slower, continuing to increase. Well, here's
an example of why University of Colorado is getting two
million dollars from something called the Matthew Shepherd and James
Bird Junior Hate Crimes Program. Now, let's talk about Matthew
(26:58):
Shepard for a moment. Matthew Shepard is the young man
up in Wyoming who was beaten to death, and the
narrative originally was he was beaten to death because he
was gay, but we now know that's not the case. Now.
I might be swimming upstream on this one, but if
(27:20):
you really dig into the Matthew Shepherd story, he was
not beaten to death because he was gay. He was
beaten to death because of a bad drug deal. And
so there's two yahoos. I don't remember their names. I
don't care about their names. I assume they're still in prison,
but maybe not. But now we have a grant program
(27:41):
named after Matthew Shepherd, and it's a hate crime program,
but it's also named after James Bird. James Bird was
the guy down in Texas who was literally dragged to
death by a couple of I think three actually white supremacists,
So that truly was a hate crime. But nonetheless, we
(28:03):
have a grant program that is giving out money to
stop hate crimes. So CEU is getting. Now, I don't
I why this number. I don't know. I said two
million dollars. But here's the actual dollar amount, one million,
nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty nine dollars.
(28:25):
What so sixty one dollars less than two million dollars?
What's the sixty one million? Are we trying We're trying
to save money, Michael. We're gonna save sixty one dollars here.
We're only gonna get We're not gonna give them two
million dollars. We're gonna give them one million, nine hundred
ninety nine and thirty nine dollars. But I'm gonna call
it two million dollars. It comes from the Department of
(28:47):
Justice to support the CU Boulder's Police Department and the
Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. So what
are they gonna do. SeeU's going to use this money.
We're going to use the money to develop a comprehensive
hate crime prevention, a hate crime intervention, and a hate
(29:11):
crime investigation approach at all CU campuses across the state
of Colorado, according to the US Attorney for the District
of Colorado. According to the press release, funds will be
used to educate audiences across the CU system and train
campus officials on coordinated strategies for preventing, investigating, and addressing
(29:35):
hate based incidents and hate crimes in higher education. All right,
got it? Hang tight, because when we get back, I
got one little more fact about this one million, nine
hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty nine dollars
that's going to see you of your tax dollars to
(29:56):
stop hate crimes. Wow. Well, looks it came back from
that vacation in Hawaii. We have twenty two days left
until the election, and all the trend lines point to
a Trump victory. And I know that that's true because again,
(30:20):
if you look at the New York Times, the Wall
Street Journal, Politico, Axios. They're all, you know, twenty what
does it like to say twenty two days? Correct? So
we're twenty two days away, and so now we have
to start or we don't. But the cabal now has
to start, you know. They got to preserve some credibility.
(30:44):
So they see the trend lines too, They see the
internal polling, they see, we know the different identity groups,
you know, black men, Hispanic men, you know, young people,
old women, you know, whatever it might be. There starting
to see these numbers, and they're starting to realize that, Oh, now,
(31:05):
I don't really understand why Trump is For example, I
may be wrong, but I understand why he's wasting time
in places like Colorado. I don't think there's a chance
in hell that Colorado, that Colorado, that the that the
majority of the popular vote goes to Donald Trump in Colorado.
(31:26):
I'd like to be proven wrong, but I just don't
believe it. The same is true for California. I just thought, why,
why why Coachella. I just don't get it. I get
the rallies, and I get the fact that if I
was trying, if I'm trying to think like Trump, this
is what I would say he's he's doing this because
he knows he could go to Po Dunk Po Dunk
(31:49):
wherever that is, and it would still consume all of
the news because the media cannot help but cover him
because they they cover him hoping that he'll make a
mistake or say something and that'll enable them to come
out and talk about Oh my gosh. Look look, look, look, look,
he's so demitted. He's as bad as Joe Biden. Yeah,
(32:11):
that's not gonna happen. Let's go back to see you
because I want to finish this. So see you's getting
one million, nine hundred ninety nine and thirty nine dollars.
Where the sixty one dollar difference is, I don't know,
beside the under two million dollars, and it's it's to
fund programs with the CU police departments to prevent, investigate,
(32:34):
and prosecute hate crimes in higher education. Now, what's interesting
is when asked, an unnamed spokesman for the US Attorney's
office could not point to one single incident of hate
crime that the US Attorney for the District of Colorado
(32:59):
has prosecute that ever prosecuted involving the University of Colorado campuses,
not one. Yet they're getting two million dollars. Oh, I'm sorry,
one million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and
thirty one dollars to start a program to investigate, prosecute,
(33:23):
and prevent hate crimes. So there's two million dollars that
if the University of Colorado had any khonies, if they
had any character whatsoever, would say, you know what, we
don't have a hate crime problem. We don't need this money.
Keep it, return it to the US Treasury. Use that
(33:45):
two million dollars to pay down two million dollars of
the US debt. Do it? Do that, or instead maybe
give it to Well, no, don't give it to Colorado
because Colorado would just spend it on illegal aliens or
as wailing gang members or some other crap. They won't
spend it on roads or anything. So don't do that.
(34:06):
But think about that two million dollars, one little grant
program trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. So
anytime you hear about Trump wanting to cut taxes, yes,
at the same time, you don't need to pay for
(34:27):
those tax cuts. But we've got a spending problem, and
we've got to reduce spending that's the number one problem.
Let me get back CBS News. This is a fairly
complicated story, except in its most simplest form, it's all
(34:49):
about censorship. Yeah,
Good morning, super Shue, looking forward to a good Monday morning.
On the situation without Michael Brown, Congrats to your lions,
have a great week.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I just hate everybody you find. You find I can
hear you laughing all the way in here through the glass.
Did did you put people up to that? Or is
that the passive aggressive vests of this audience.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Arguably I put in the rules of engagement for when
Michael's gone into the system, and then I'm going through
the talkbacks this morning and I find that one.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was like, well, my decision's pretty easy. So someone
did those rules of engagement for last week.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, somebody made them several months ago, earlier
this year, and whenever you're not here.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I play it. Oh, i'd never heard it before.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, you're not here.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It makes sense that you wouldn't have heard it before. Well, yes,
I would have thought that, you know, a producer would
have told me, Hey, we got some funny rules of
engagement from you know, an audience member that you know
hates your guts and loves it when you're gone, and so,
you know, I think you should hear these just so
you can be irritated about it. Really just like the
fact that when I came in, I told you that
(01:15):
there was this fleeting thought. He's just a total idiot,
I mean a total idiot, but a fleeting thought that
there might have been something, I mean something, what one
little thing done to this studio that I had talked
to the bosses about fixing. One thing, like maybe the
(01:36):
dry wall had been completed.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Really think that you are important?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, no, no, it had it honestly hasn't. I mean
this very sincerely. It has nothing to do with me.
It's when you are away. You know, you're you're you're
on vacation, you're not here, and so your mind wonders,
like I really didn't until I forget how I found out,
(02:03):
But I didn't know that Jimmy was filling in part
time and then then Ryan was going to fill in.
I had no idea, And so then when I found
out that they were there, and I'm just thinking, well,
you know what, maybe this is the week, not because
I'm gone, but just you know, because I They're not
(02:23):
doing it because I'm gone, but because I'm gone. You
think to yourself, oh, this might be the week that
one little thing will happen. So when you come back
into the studio. Something has been done, like the you know,
the most simple thing to be done to this studio
would be replacing the cheap ass blinds that you can
(02:46):
get at home depot. You can go to home Depot
and you can get those blinds for nineteen ninety five.
Just get maybe twenty die ninety five, I don't know.
And the broken block have been broken for at least
a year, if not longer, because I can flake time. Uh,
(03:06):
that might have been done. Or the rap, because you
know that somewhere in this building is this rap. The
rap is is basically our wallpaper that has our logo
and everything on it, and it's been stripped bare and
we have drywall. And I thought, well, maybe that might
be done, or the duct tape might be gone by now. No,
now I really didn't. I never did think that they
(03:29):
would clean the console, you know, like vacuum the I
haven't looked, but you tell me there are food crumbs inside.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But what the electronics, A little cabling ductwork.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There's in the duck working the cabling. Over here there
there's food crumbs. Yeah, the cracker crumbs. Oh, a billion
dollar company. You must be new here, I'm telling you well,
this is what happens. This is why they like, this
is the one they don't like you to take vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Billion dollar company. But look at the bottom right hand
corner of your your screen on those machines.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You go to settings to activate windows. You're talking about that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That little thing billion dollar company. Huh yeah, right?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Or like the fact that I pay, I don't know
what it is, thirty nine to ninety five a month
to have access to all the Adobe programs. So when
I'm recording stuff, I can record stuff at home since
we since we have nobody extra producers to record anything here,
so you have to do your own production at home.
So I actually have a full blown I don't know,
(04:37):
i'd be you know, I don't know what version of.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Adobe Sweet or whatever Creative Sweet.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, the Adobe Creative Sweet. And of course I actually
have camera by it because she gets an educational discount,
so I get it through her. So yeah, I've got
like version you know, ten point zero or something of
Adobe Audition. Whereas here our Adobe Audition. Why I didn't
intend to start out bitching about this this morning, not
(05:04):
at all.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Let's see file, Let's see how do you do this
in windows, I should say in the when'd you open up? Its? Well?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Spoiler alert it's one point oh oh.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh is it? Oh yeah? Oh my god? One point oh.
Before I get into any specific stories at all today,
I just want to give a broad overview of you know, traveling,
as I've always said, changes your perspective. And I wish
(05:41):
that I could take everybody you know on trip. Why
that's a lie? Why am I going to say that
I don't want to take that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
But that ain't true.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's not true at all, So why start lying already
this morning? So I'm not gonna lie about it. I
don't want to take any of you anywhere with me,
but it would be nice all of you on your
own could go other places and see what the world
is like outside your little, you know, your little sphere
where you work and play and do your things. So
(06:13):
I took camera to Hawaii. We had never been. Do
they call is it Oahu that they call the Big Island?
I have no clue. I don't either. Anyway, we would
it's the one island we'd never been to where Honolulu is.
And we stated, this really nice resort that is in
a residential area. It's uh much more expensive than I expected.
(06:38):
And Hawaii is a Democrat controlled state. It is, uh
everything's Democrat. The airport's named after senator, former senator in
a way, who, by the way, was a really I
get to know Daniel in a way when I was undersecretary,
and he was one of the nicest individuals you would
(06:59):
have ever met. And he was while he was a Democrat.
He was not this wild eyed new kind of socialist
Marxist democrat. He was just kind of an old school
JFK kind of democrat. In fact, I think you'd probably
been in the Senate since JFK was there. He was
there that long. He was an old fart when I
(07:21):
knew him. So as we would tool around Hawaii, it
was obvious that it was a democrat controlled state because
other than say, the beaches, and well we get the
tourists too, but other than the beaches, it was a
lot like Colorado. The roads pretty much sucked and other
(07:46):
than you know, and the one thing that struck me
the most. Of course, I didn't notice that when we
landed at in Honolulu, but I noticed it on the
way out. And I noticed it on the way out
because because we were there with our son and daughter
in law, I mean our son in law and daughter,
(08:08):
and so we got to the airport early so they
could go off and go to dinner and do stuff.
And of course then thank you United Airlines. Then you
kept postponing the flight, which irritates the fire out of me,
but nonetheless, so I had a little time to walk
around the airport, and the thing that fascinated me about
the airport was the number we're the number of vacant storefronts. Now,
(08:37):
Hawaii is a major tourist destination, right, I mean, you
got all the international airlines flying in there, You've got
Japanese love to come to Hawaii. I think they think
that since they couldn't, you know, they weren't able to
take it over in December seven, that maybe will take
(08:58):
it over as tourists because the Japanese are everywhere. I mean,
they're just like everywhere, and they have lots of money
to spend. This airport looked like a third world airport.
I mean it was. It was crappy. It was a
total crap airport. And then because we're there early, we
(09:20):
go to the United Club. Now United, If anybody from
United is listening, I've already filled out the question at
the survey, and I've told you. I already told you
how crappy the United Club was. But it was dirty,
it was he was kind of it was a little
like the studio Dragon. Now I think about it, maybe
that's why I felt so comfortable.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Pably felt like home.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It was like being at home, you know. The wallpaper
was peeling, the carpet was nasty. There was no like
normally when you go to get First of all, we decided,
in fact, Tammer refused to eat the food in the club,
which is unusual because I normally eat in the club
because the food in the airport is way too expensive
(10:01):
and I might as well get the free buffet in
the food, I mean, you know, it can be a
cheap ass. I don't care. But the food was crappy.
It was so bad that Tammer said, I'm not eating
this and she went out. She went back down into
the concourse whatever it was, and she found of all
the police, the only place she found open was a
burger King. So Tamar's eating burger King. Well, I'm eating
(10:25):
some sort of pulled pork That ended up making me
think later on. And there was no one you know,
picking up the dishes there was just it was just nasty.
And I thought, he, this is a democrat controlled state,
and you drive around and you see that once again.
And this is not true only in democrat controlled states.
This is true in almost every state where the income
(10:48):
disparity is getting horrendous. There really is no true middle
class anymore. You've got the workers at the resort, You've
got the workers in the at the airport and in
the concessions in the airport, and then you have all
(11:09):
of the wealthy people, and so houses are either horrendously
expensive the around the resort area. I think that my
daughter was curious what real estate prices were. We were
driving through to go somewhere else, and so she looked
up on Zillo or something, and the cheapest house near
(11:31):
that was within you know, say, walking des sense of
the resort, seventeen million dollars. Seventeen million dollars. Then you
get out into the hinterlands and the houses turn really crappy,
and even those are you know, six seven hundred thousand dollars,
and it's just we're going backwards all across the country,
(11:56):
we're going backwards. I thought a lot about Colorado I
I got. I got a little bit of info about
Trump's rally here in Colorado and how he called what
he so he called Jared paulis a chicken s word,
(12:20):
which I thought was hilarious. You know, maybe maybe it's
not presidential, but it sounds like something I would do.
I mean if, in fact, I may have said something
similar when I was speaking to Caldera's you know at
f uh is his thing a few weeks ago. I
may have done the same thing. I may have done
(12:41):
exactly the same thing. And then Polish comes out and
says that he is demented and he's not fit. This
is the new thing about Trump. He's not fit for office.
I think that now he may not be in the
greatest shape in the world, but I think he could
probably outrun Kamala Harris. In fact, he is out running
(13:06):
Kamala Harris. I'm going to talk about that in just
a minute. But I think what he's doing is he's
now speaking to what we all know is true about
the direction of the country. Now, is Donald Trump the
perfect presidential candidate? No? Now, I've told you that in
(13:31):
his first administration, I had four or five friends that
worked very closely with him. In fact, one person who
was a former employee of mine when I was the
undersecretary went on to work on the National Security Council
while Trump was in his first term. He worked for
(13:51):
him for a little over two years and then left
and went back to some think tank or something. But
he and I had a few conversations about Trump's management style.
It wasn't exactly what we were accustomed to with Bush's
management style, but nonetheless it was the kind of style
that is that has made Donald Trump successful. Now I'm
(14:15):
just doing a total oh what's it called, I'm already
having a brain fart this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Outdown.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No, just this kind of stream of consciousness about things
that I was thinking about while I was gone, and
one of them was management styles. You do need to
have a few people around you to manage the Executive
Office of the President because it is large. It contains hundreds,
(14:48):
if not FABA actually contains thousands of people, but in
just the West Wing there are a couple of hundred
people that you do need to manage. So you do
need to have a strong chief of staff and then
maybe a you know, operational chief of staff, and maybe
a policy chief of staff and then your main chief
of staff all to handle all of you know, the
(15:09):
Press Office, to handle the National Security Council, the Homeland
Security Council, to handle all of these organizations within the
executive Office of the President. So Trump's going to need
a strong chief of staff to handle those things. But
it's going to have to be a chief of staff
who is able to kind of be that conduit between
(15:34):
his management style and then being able to manage all
of the staff, because Trump's the kind of guy who's
going to just you know, like the whole idea about
no tax on tips. Everyone thinks that's a great idea. Well,
I think it's a great idea in the sense that
I don't want to pay tax on Social Security, which
(15:57):
was you know, when did that happen in that major
tax reform Act of what nineteen eighty six Ronald Reagan
was happening to be president. Yeah, so you know, why
should I be paying taxes on Social Security? Which is
technically money that I've already paid into the treasury, So
(16:19):
it is, in essence a tax that is actually my money,
and now you're going to tax me on it again.
So while I love the idea about no taxes, on tips,
no taxes on Social Security, being able to deduct the
interest on a loan, all of that stuff is great.
Those are all wild less ideas that he's nonetheless going
(16:40):
to have to get through Congress. And to get those
things through Congress, Congress is going to have to do things.
Like you know, they always ask how are you going
to pay for it? That's the wrong question. The question
should be if we're going to reduce taxes, which we
(17:00):
know the laugh Or curve proves this. The more you
decrease taxes, the more you're going to create new taxpayers.
Because companies are going to expand and grow, they're going
to hire more people, and those people are going to
pay more taxes, and so you're going to get a
net You're going to get a net increase in revenue
(17:24):
to the treasury. So it's not how you're going to
pay for the income tax cuts or the other kind
of tax cuts, because those are going to result of
more income to the treasury. The better question is how
are you going to reduce spending? Because spending is simply
and totally out of control. One of the stories that
(17:46):
I happened to read on the last few days of
vacation was the University of Colorado is getting a grant.
They're getting a two million dollar grant. Now, I know,
in a trillion dollar budget, two million dollars is like,
you know what kind of pocket change you might have.
But this is a classy example of how Congress simply
(18:08):
cannot cut back on spending, and that is something that
we are going to have to do in order to
make this economy grow. So when we get back, let
me tell you about this two million dollars. I know
it's not a lot, but still it's two million dollars
and Colorado's going to spend it regardless of whether it's
worth it or not.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Hollo, Hello, welcome back, Michael. Damn, I've been ready to
swear off six thirty am. Thank god you're back.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. See dragon,
some of them love me.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh wait. That wasn't supposed to be played.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Only when we got because otherwise, if there been anything else,
you could have played that. I love you, guys man.
I'll thank you by the end of the week, but
I love you right now. One of the things that
struck you, know, you just when you step back away
from the day to day news, and you just think
(19:13):
more generally, more broadly about everything going on. You realize
that we're that kind of lie laughing about this, but
we're in deep doodoo. The country's in serious deep doo doo.
And all I could think about was if Kamala Harris
(19:33):
gets elected, for example, I'll get to the two million
dollars to see you in just a second. On CNN
just now, the chirn said something about the United States
is sending one hundred troops to Israel, boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But Michael, they weren't supposed to send any boots on
the ground because they built this big floating pier to
where that they wouldn't have any boots on the ground,
because if there were boots on the ground, then that
would lead to a wider conflict. And that pier got
demolished relatively quickly, and everything, every bit of food that
was delivered on that pier went to the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And did you know that the people that built the
peer that fell apart in the rough seas of the
Mediterranean got some sort of meritorious metals for having built
the pier that fell apart in the rough seas.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'm actually mostly Okay with that, I think because they
did a fantastic feet of engineering. So they did something.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
A fantastic feet of engineering that didn't work.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It worked until it didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay, So I see now I understand why the studio
is the way it is because you personifying you know, hey,
it's fine the way it is until it isn't. Well,
when do we reach the point where it isn't fine anymore?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Simity Christmas? What did you do the whole time I
was gone? He must not have worked at all, for
like the past not you just didn't do feces?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Did you put my feet up and called it good?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Brands? On vacation? I'm on vacation. Except the problem is
when you're on vacation, I still have to perform despite
who's back there. I left to carry on. Yeah right, right,
But but but when I'm gone, you just sit back
there and just push the buttons. You don't do squat there,
you go exactly. So anyway, the Kirn on CNN says
(21:42):
that we're going to deploy one hundred troops, so that's
two hundred boots on the ground, one hundred troops, uh,
in order for them to operate an anti missile system,
so we are apparently going to actively engage in defending it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to this. But
(22:03):
to go back to my point about Kamala Harris, do
you think that Kamala Harris would have you? Do you
honestly believe that she has the brain cells to think
through the unintended consequences or, for that matter, the intended
consequences of putting one hundred troops, say in Tel Aviv
(22:28):
and Jerusalem or somewhere in northern Israel, to help defend
Israel against Hesbi Lah or whatever the Iranians are getting
ready to do, or are we putting the boots on
the ground now. I don't know whether this is breaking news,
but this is the first I've heard of it this morning.
Or are we doing it because Israel is getting I
(22:49):
keep hearing keep reading that Israel has decided which targets
it is going to go after in its retaliation for
the Iranians launching those two hundred missiles into Israel. Do
you think she has the wherewithal to think through what
she should do or should not do. Do you think
(23:12):
if you put Kamala Harris and Let's just go through
a few people. Kamala Harris and Benjamin Nette Yahoo in
the same room. Who do you think wins the argument
in that room? Yeah, Bbie wins that one. Let's put
Kamala Harris and I don't know, Dragon Redbeard in the
(23:35):
same room. Who do you think wins the argument in
that I storm out Dragon? You know, in fact he does.
Dragon Redbeard wins the battle there because she starts bubbering
on or cackles, and he just walks out.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I am from a middle class family. My mom raises
with this lady down the street. Yeah, business owner.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
So now let's put Kamala Harris and Vladimir Putin in
the same room. Vladimir Putin comes riding a horse bear
chested into the room and dismounts the horse and says,
what do you want, sweetheart? What do you what do you?
What do you want? What do you Who do you
think wins that argument? Or Jijing Ping, the guy who's
(24:23):
sitting in the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
and the former leader who is sitting right next to him,
gets disappeared while the entire world watches. You know, maybe
he would disappear Kamala Harris. She doesn't win. She doesn't
win the battle in any room. She can't, she can't,
(24:45):
she can't win the battle anywhere. So we're just in
such a dangerous, precarious position. But I think the good
news is, I really do believe that Donald Trump's going
to win this election. I really do. The New York Times, Axios,
(25:07):
the Wall Street Journal, whom I leave me out. Who
else did I read? Oh, Politico? Those four left wing organizations,
left wing news outlets are all starting to talk about
how hmm, we might want to get prepared for a
(25:27):
Trump presidency. And Kamala Harris is not doing X, Y,
Z AND's, she's failing to do ABC, She's failing to
do all these things. So let's get ready for a
Trump administration. Now that ties in to what I wanted
to talk about with the two million dollars, because all
(25:49):
of these wild, crazy ass ideas that I actually like
about no taxes on different things are going to require
a Congress. It's going to require members of the United
States Senate and the United States House of Representatives actually saying,
you know what, we spent too much money in COVID,
(26:14):
We spent too much money in the Biden administration. And
by too much, I mean by a magnitude of thousands
of times too much money, which is why we have
the continuing inflation. I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna talk about
inflation today. Inflation is actually much worse than we think
it is, and we now have prices that are that
(26:36):
are continuing to albeit slower, continuing to increase. Well, here's
an example of why University of Colorado is getting two
million dollars from something called the Matthew Shepherd and James
Bird Junior Hate Crimes Program. Now, let's talk about Matthew
(26:58):
Shepard for a moment. Matthew Shepard is the young man
up in Wyoming who was beaten to death, and the
narrative originally was he was beaten to death because he
was gay, but we now know that's not the case. Now.
I might be swimming upstream on this one, but if
(27:20):
you really dig into the Matthew Shepherd story, he was
not beaten to death because he was gay. He was
beaten to death because of a bad drug deal. And
so there's two yahoos. I don't remember their names. I
don't care about their names. I assume they're still in prison,
but maybe not. But now we have a grant program
(27:41):
named after Matthew Shepherd, and it's a hate crime program,
but it's also named after James Bird. James Bird was
the guy down in Texas who was literally dragged to
death by a couple of I think three actually white supremacists,
So that truly was a hate crime. But nonetheless, we
(28:03):
have a grant program that is giving out money to
stop hate crimes. So CEU is getting. Now, I don't
I why this number. I don't know. I said two
million dollars. But here's the actual dollar amount, one million,
nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty nine dollars.
(28:25):
What so sixty one dollars less than two million dollars?
What's the sixty one million? Are we trying We're trying
to save money, Michael. We're gonna save sixty one dollars here.
We're only gonna get We're not gonna give them two
million dollars. We're gonna give them one million, nine hundred
ninety nine and thirty nine dollars. But I'm gonna call
it two million dollars. It comes from the Department of
(28:47):
Justice to support the CU Boulder's Police Department and the
Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. So what
are they gonna do. SeeU's going to use this money.
We're going to use the money to develop a comprehensive
hate crime prevention, a hate crime intervention, and a hate
(29:11):
crime investigation approach at all CU campuses across the state
of Colorado, according to the US Attorney for the District
of Colorado. According to the press release, funds will be
used to educate audiences across the CU system and train
campus officials on coordinated strategies for preventing, investigating, and addressing
(29:35):
hate based incidents and hate crimes in higher education. All right,
got it? Hang tight, because when we get back, I
got one little more fact about this one million, nine
hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty nine dollars
that's going to see you of your tax dollars to
(29:56):
stop hate crimes. Wow. Well, looks it came back from
that vacation in Hawaii. We have twenty two days left
until the election, and all the trend lines point to
a Trump victory. And I know that that's true because again,
(30:20):
if you look at the New York Times, the Wall
Street Journal, Politico, Axios. They're all, you know, twenty what
does it like to say twenty two days? Correct? So
we're twenty two days away, and so now we have
to start or we don't. But the cabal now has
to start, you know. They got to preserve some credibility.
(30:44):
So they see the trend lines too, They see the
internal polling, they see, we know the different identity groups,
you know, black men, Hispanic men, you know, young people,
old women, you know, whatever it might be. There starting
to see these numbers, and they're starting to realize that, Oh, now,
(31:05):
I don't really understand why Trump is For example, I
may be wrong, but I understand why he's wasting time
in places like Colorado. I don't think there's a chance
in hell that Colorado, that Colorado, that the that the
majority of the popular vote goes to Donald Trump in Colorado.
(31:26):
I'd like to be proven wrong, but I just don't
believe it. The same is true for California. I just thought, why,
why why Coachella. I just don't get it. I get
the rallies, and I get the fact that if I
was trying, if I'm trying to think like Trump, this
is what I would say he's he's doing this because
he knows he could go to Po Dunk Po Dunk
(31:49):
wherever that is, and it would still consume all of
the news because the media cannot help but cover him
because they they cover him hoping that he'll make a
mistake or say something and that'll enable them to come
out and talk about Oh my gosh. Look look, look, look, look,
he's so demitted. He's as bad as Joe Biden. Yeah,
(32:11):
that's not gonna happen. Let's go back to see you
because I want to finish this. So see you's getting
one million, nine hundred ninety nine and thirty nine dollars.
Where the sixty one dollar difference is, I don't know,
beside the under two million dollars, and it's it's to
fund programs with the CU police departments to prevent, investigate,
(32:34):
and prosecute hate crimes in higher education. Now, what's interesting
is when asked, an unnamed spokesman for the US Attorney's
office could not point to one single incident of hate
crime that the US Attorney for the District of Colorado
(32:59):
has prosecute that ever prosecuted involving the University of Colorado campuses,
not one. Yet they're getting two million dollars. Oh, I'm sorry,
one million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and
thirty one dollars to start a program to investigate, prosecute,
(33:23):
and prevent hate crimes. So there's two million dollars that
if the University of Colorado had any khonies, if they
had any character whatsoever, would say, you know what, we
don't have a hate crime problem. We don't need this money.
Keep it, return it to the US Treasury. Use that
(33:45):
two million dollars to pay down two million dollars of
the US debt. Do it? Do that, or instead maybe
give it to Well, no, don't give it to Colorado
because Colorado would just spend it on illegal aliens or
as wailing gang members or some other crap. They won't
spend it on roads or anything. So don't do that.
(34:06):
But think about that two million dollars, one little grant
program trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. So
anytime you hear about Trump wanting to cut taxes, yes,
at the same time, you don't need to pay for
(34:27):
those tax cuts. But we've got a spending problem, and
we've got to reduce spending that's the number one problem.
Let me get back CBS News. This is a fairly
complicated story, except in its most simplest form, it's all
(34:49):
about censorship. Yeah,
