Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where a government was organized with a constitution
laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and dominant.
And that is what led to the US becoming the
greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be the
best they could be, unlike it had ever happened.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged to
delivery government that serves the American.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
People better than ever before. To win with every single facet.
We're going to win so much.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
You may even get tired of winning. And you say, please, please,
it's too much winning. If we can't take it anymore,
mister President, it's too much, and I'll say.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
No, it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have
to win more. We're gonna win more. We're gonna win
so nine.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
You never did think that it ever happen again.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You never get together through real brand, They would.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Laugh again.
Speaker 8 (01:18):
That it is a tall, crowd city built on rocks
stronger than oceans, wind swept, god blessed, and teeming with people,
of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city
with cree courts that humed with commerce and creativity. And
if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors,
(01:39):
and the doors were open to anyone with the wheels
and the heart to get it. That's how I saw
it and see it still.
Speaker 9 (01:46):
And we will restore and renovate our nations once great cities, making.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Them safe, clean and beautiful again.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
And that includes our nation's capital. And never did again,
you never did think they would never get together.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely,
jobs will come roaring back, and the middle class will
prosper like never ever before.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
And we're going to.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Do it very rapidly.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I will bring back the American dream.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
Your expectations are not big enough, not big enough. It's
time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in
the world. Leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We can do that. We are Americans.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
Ambition is our heritage, Greatness is our birthright.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Together with great humility, I am.
Speaker 9 (03:06):
Asking you to be excited about the future of our country.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
To be excited, be excited.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
America is undefeated in World Wars. Americans are a proud people,
but we're watching as our insides are being eaten down
by the cast offs, the criminals, the pedophiles and murderers,
the sex traffickers from abroad and from the Democrats from within.
(03:37):
Americans are ready to have a great nation again. There
is so much pent up frustration. Many people have given
up hope, but they don't want to They want to
believe again. I liken it to being a sports fan
(03:58):
and you've had a cellar dweller.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
For ye and years and years.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
You look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they got
Tom Brady when it was thought he would retire, and
he came down and it was kind of a sweep
States sweepstakes for Brady. I thought he ended up in
Oakland or Las Vegas with the Raiders, but no, he
went to Tampa Bay and they had a hope, maybe
we can have a winner again. They'd had a winner
(04:25):
relatively recently, and Trent Dilferd was the quarterback of that team.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Imagine that.
Speaker 10 (04:29):
But there was excitement in the land. And that's what
Trump is bringing, and he's bringing bright minds. Elon Musk
is a conqueror. He's a creator, he's a doer. Vek
Ramaswami financially very successful, a bright, bright guy, a cut
(04:51):
above the Democrats. One of the best speeches. I think
Tucker Crosson's was the best speech of yesterday, and we'll
play that in the next segment. One of the best
speach at the Medicine Square Garden rally was vivet Ramaswami,
and he's talking about America First includes all Americans. This
(05:12):
is an inclusive, exciting message.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
The media in the back, they won't talk about this,
but they know it to be true. Donald Trump is
actually the president who will unite this country.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Actually, and we don't talk about that enough.
Speaker 11 (05:33):
America First includes all Americans, regardless of their race, their gender,
or their sexual orientation. Our message to Black Americans tonight
is this, we want you what.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
We want for every American.
Speaker 11 (05:49):
Safe neighborhoods, good jobs, clean streets, a country where you
are judged based on the content of your character, not
the color of your skin or your political beliefs.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
That's the America we know.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
Our message to gay Americans tonight is this.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
You're free to marry who you want.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
If you want, without the government standing in your way.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
But that doesn't mean that boys get to compete with.
Speaker 11 (06:18):
Girls and girls sports, or you do genital mutilation and
chemical castration on our children. Our message to every legal
immigrant in this country is this, you're like my parents.
But our message to every illegal immigrant, if you came legally,
you get the same American dream that everybody else does.
(06:39):
Work hard, get ahead, make contributions to this country, love
the nation, and that's our message to legal immigrants. But
our message to every illegal immigrant is also this. We
will return you to your country of origin, not because
you're all bad people, but because you broke the law, and.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The United States of America is founded on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The rule of law.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Our message to my generation, the millennials.
Speaker 11 (07:07):
Is this, you are sold to false billa goods. You
were told you become a gender studies major in California.
Somehow that gets you a head starting the American dream
when it hasn't worked out that way, dead on your shoulders.
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yes, it's true you were
lied to, but we can't just be cynical about our
country because this is still the last best hope that
(07:27):
we have in the free world.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
And our message to gen.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Z is this You're going to be the generation that
saves the country. You want to be a rebel eighteen
years old, stand up on your college campus and call
yourself a conservative, be proud of it. Say you want
to get married, have kids, raise a family, and have
a good job. That's how we win in America. We
don't have to be this nation in decline.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
We are still on our way up.
Speaker 11 (07:52):
We're still that country where we will look our children
in the eye and meet it when we tell them
you get ahead in the United States with your own
hard work, own commitment, your own dedication, and that you
know what you are free to speak your mind at
every step.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Of the way. That is the American dream. That is
what we are running too.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
And that is what we get when we send Donald
Trump back to the White House. This November, True Texas
Original Book, True National Treasure, No messing around with.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
This is the Michael Arry Show. So the Medicine Square
Garden Gathering.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
They was an all star team, the folks with positive messages,
personal accomplishment and the hopes and dreams of a lot
of Americans being voiced.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Through their words and experiences and.
Speaker 10 (08:49):
Backgrounds and accomplishments. For my money, Perhaps the best speech
itself was from a guy who speaks like a writer,
Tucker Carlson. He started life as a writer, That's why
he structures his arguments like a writer. But I thought
he made the best case for Trump of anybody out
(09:09):
there with this beat. This is a little longer than
I would normally play of an audio clip, but I
thought it was so good, and we whittled it down
as short as we could get it to still get
to the points we like. So anyway, this was Tucker
Crosson at Madison Square Garden yesterday.
Speaker 12 (09:27):
Donald Trump's gonna win. He's gonna win. I know that
that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Why is Donald Trump gonna win?
Speaker 12 (09:37):
The people he's about to defeat have no idea, and
they're panicked. They have no idea why people like Donald Trump.
And their first theory was, well, Donald Trump is evil,
so half the country is evil also, and that's one
of the reasons they spent the last.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Four years trying to destroy the country because.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
They're mad at its voters for liking Donald Trump. How
much easier would it have been just to pause for
twenty minutes and ask yourself, honestly, in some silent place.
Why do people like Donald Trump? And if they had
been honest enough to ask themselves that question, they would
have come up with the two main reasons.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And hear what they Here's what they are.
Speaker 12 (10:12):
The first reason that people like Donald Trump is because.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
He likes them, That's why.
Speaker 12 (10:18):
And it's real affection is something you can't fake. I
don't care how many times Kamala Harris would tell me
she loves me.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't believe her. I saw her kiss her.
Speaker 12 (10:29):
Husband with a mask on, a mask on. That's her
version of love. It's fake, it's not real. They spent
ten years telling you Trump is a hater. Do you
feel that on him? No, you don't, because it's not there.
I've spent a lot of time with Trump, and there's
(10:50):
not one moment I've ever been with him off camera
He's spending his time grousing about people he hates. Ever,
he's talking about the people and the country he.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Loves in his private time. Trust me, and people know in.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
A country that has been taken over by a leadership
class that actually despises them and their values and their
history and their culture and their customs, really hates them
to the point that.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's trying to replace them.
Speaker 12 (11:15):
They know someone who actually has affection for them, and
that's Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And it's requited. It's requited.
Speaker 12 (11:22):
They know when he goes to McDonald's and serves fries
like he's not faking that at all.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's why that works.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Democratic media consults are like, how is that working? Because
it's real, That's why. And the second reason that people
love Trump, and I put myself in this category, it's
why I'm here today, is because he's liberated us in
the deepest and truest sense. And the liberation he has
brought to us is the liberation from the obligation.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
To tell lies.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
Donald Trump has made it possible for the rest of
us to tell the truth about the world around us.
And that's the single most liberating thing you can do
for people. If you want to enslave people, if you
want to degrade.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Them, force them to tell lies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
And they have.
Speaker 12 (12:10):
They forced us to lie about everything at gunpoint. Effectively,
they put people in prison for refusing to lie, and
not just the obvious lies that men can become women,
or Vladimir Putin blew up the North Stream pipeline.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Know honest that you did. January sixth was insurrection. They
were on ormed, but it was very.
Speaker 12 (12:29):
Insurrectiony, not even the obvious ones. But the big lie,
you know what the big lie is. The big lie
is that they're impressive. That's what the big lie is.
That the people in charge have somehow earned the right
to rule over you, and they haven't. And you know
that these are the single most useless people in the
United States.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They have no skills whatsoever.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
They've got three quarters of the money and they didn't
earn it. They set up a system precisely for the
per of awarding themselves wealth and power when it's undeserved.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You look at Liz Cheney.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
And you ask yourself, honestly, what skill could she possibly
have that allowed her to send hundreds of thousands of
people to their deaths?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Did she earn that? I don't think she did.
Speaker 12 (13:18):
No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful. No fair
system would make Larry Fink rich. No fair system would
elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination. She's
never been accused of doing anything useful.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
She has precisely no achievements.
Speaker 12 (13:37):
She's a nominee without getting a single vote.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She is a.
Speaker 12 (13:40):
Metaphor for the system they created to make.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Themselves rich and powerful.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
And then they have the goal to lecture you that
people can actually change a flat tire and repair a power.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Grid, who have useful jobs, who pay.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
Your taxes and work forty hours a week, lecture you
that you are somehow immoral. And Donald Trump has empowered
the rest of us through mostly to sticking around in
the face of their hate and abuse and persecution. He
has given the rest of us the right to call
bs on the charade. No, you are not better than us.
(14:14):
No you are not smarter than us. No you do
not deserve what you have. You probably stole it. No,
you're not going to bully me into silence anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And I can promise you.
Speaker 12 (14:26):
At this point, nine days out, when Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
and Elon Musk and Tulca Gabberton, pretty much every high
school senior and college shorty girl in the country has
come out finally said yeah, I am for Donald Trump. Actually, well,
the entire country has realized there is nothing embarrassing about this.
What's embarrassing is to take a perfectly great.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Country and destroy it as they have.
Speaker 12 (14:52):
I'm not ashamed you should be at that moment. It's
going to be pretty tough for them ten days from
now to look in the eye to America with a
straight face.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's gonna be pretty hard.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
To look at us and say, you know what, Kamala Harris,
she's just she got eighty.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Five million votes because.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
She's just so impressive as the first Samoan Malaysian low
Iq former California prosecutor ever to be elected president. It
was just a ground swell of popular support. And anyone
who thinks otherwise just a freak or a criminal at
this stage of the game, after nine years of listening
(15:32):
to their lives and finding every single one of them
totally falls. No, it's not safe and effective, and no,
she's not impressive. It's very hard for me to believe
the rest of us are gonna say, you know what,
Joe Scarborough, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
She won fair and.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Square because she's just so impressive. I don't think so.
And to me, that is liberation. It's the freedom to
say what's obviously true as a free man and not
a slave. And I just want to say thank you
Donald Trump for that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Speakers smart devices from Michael's brain every single one of
them to your ears.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
This is the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
All of the ballots must be received and counted by
election day, which will be November fifth, So the five
day grace period in the Mississippi law would be preempted
by federal law. All of this an attempt to reduce,
if not altogether eliminate, election fraud. Professor Josh Blackman and
(16:42):
a legal expert from the.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
South Texas College of Law is our guest. Professor.
Speaker 10 (16:47):
Can you set up what exactly this case is about
and how much effect will this have on the forthcoming election?
This one right now and then long term.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Sure, this ruling will probably not have any impact on
the current election, but it could make a difference on
future elections. So here's what happened. During the pandemic. Many
states began to change their rules. It used to be
that if a ballot was received by election day, they
would count it, but the rules changed. If a ballot
was received after election day, if it was postmark before,
(17:22):
they would still count it. You know, this is a
COVID emergency measure, and now the COVID's gone, they sort
of left the law in place. And this is Mississippi.
This is not exactly a blue state. The problem, though,
is that federal law says that there is election day.
It's a day that's actually set by a statute passed
by Congress. And even if the ballot might be postmarked
(17:44):
before election day, the court said as to be received
by election day, and they will not count these late
arriving ballots. The court they'll put the ruling sort of
on hold is it will look really close to the
twenty twenty four election. We're not going to change things. Now,
let's go look at this for twenty six. So no
immediate effect, but I think this could have an impact
on how absentee balloting works in the next mid cremony,
(18:06):
even the next presdential election.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
So in this particular case, and let's say, okay, let's
say this case has maximum influence over an election, maybe,
if not twenty twenty four, the midterm elections in twenty
twenty six. In order for that to extend beyond Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana,
it would have to go to the Supreme Court, and
(18:30):
the Court as it's comprised presently would be expected to
uphold it right a more conservative court. If Trump wins,
you can expect that trend to continue. If Democrats win
and the composition changes, you would then assume it would
go to the Supreme Court so that it would be overruled.
Is that a fair I know we're horse trading here
(18:51):
and it's purely conjecture, but is that a fair estimation?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You know, even though the current court is conservative on paper,
I'm not sure if they agree with the Fistrica in
this one. There have been a number of states, have
it had policies after COVID where they accept these late
arriving ballots in Pennsylvania. Otherwise, I don't know that the
true court says, okay, we election day means election day,
you have to get them in on time. I mean,
(19:18):
this is one of the problems we have with Pennsylvania.
For example, we may know the outcome is like a
week later because they have all these late arriving ballots
and who tech knows when they you know, when they're
being accounted. I think it would be a good policy
to have all the ballots in by election day.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That'd be a nice thing to have.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
But you know, this FRU Court might say, well, these
states have been doing it, we don't have to disrupt
with the States and doing don't worry about the cederal law,
it doesn't really speak to it. But your other horse
trade one. I think this is a very important point
to stress. If Harris wins and there's a democratic House
and democratic Senate, I think it's almost a foregone conclusion
that they'll try to pack the court. I've you know,
(19:53):
there are not enough people willing to say no any
more to this, and they're just still so burned to
what happened with abortion a couple of years. With that,
they'll just destroy the court and they'll add, you know,
three more justices, six more justices, whatever the numbers, it
doesn't matter. And once you do that, once it's over
my line of workshops mattering very much because the constution
just whatever the latest majority.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Of the court's added.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Whoever had the most votes lost election. So if that happens,
Michael Early voting, the least of our worries the court,
who know it is a goner, and all the.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Things that we think we know about the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Law will change very suddenly.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
Well, and particularly when we consider that the Supreme Court
is the backstop against unconstitutional actions. When you no longer
have the backstop, you really then have majority rule, mob rule.
You have a government without the ability, you have no
checks and balances, which you know we once extole the
(20:47):
virtues of this has been a fantasy of really socialists,
not just democrats. But this has been a fantasy of
socialists since FDR proposed it, and I think meant it
but couldn't get away with that. And the idea is,
if we can't beat you fair and square, we're going
to when we're in power, pack this court and you'll
(21:07):
never stop us from there. And they're right, as you note,
they're right.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right, and they know this too. You know, they attempted
to have you know, what they call through court ethics reform,
and let's just be clear. All the stuff at ethics,
it's just why to get just the leader and Justice
Thomas stepped down from cases. It's about unpacking the court,
if you will, taking VOTs off. But once they get
six more judges, they don't care about these ethics. If
they'll just fly away, they'll just sort of making noise.
(21:34):
And rightly, this is an issue that is links getting
nearly enough attention. Flection next week, the fillibuster. Once it
is gone, there'll be you know, legislation, immigration, to add,
you know, tens of millions of new voters they will
be staged with for Puerto Rico and disc of Columbia,
So that will makes me impossible to every Republican Senate
ever again, you know, the sorts of changes you have
(21:55):
once the Philibuster's gone, I think are very significant, and
the tracks of having Haris a democratic House and democratic
Senate I think would really bring the end of what
we know for the judiciary.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Well, it's good that people understand this while there's still
time to vote. It's good that people across the land
understand that the consequences of not voting are real. I mean,
we're talking to a legal scholar now, who is not
a particularly hyper partisan individual. This is the reality of
our constitution, our legal system, the framework, the very infrastructure
(22:29):
of our political system, and like any other, whether that
be Rome, Greece, modern day Venezuela, or the once Great Germany,
can fall. And this is how your systems fall. This
is how the process that's put in place manages to fail.
Back to this decision in Mississippi by the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals, this ruling that ballots must be in
(22:53):
and counted by election day, I think a lot of
people watching this say, isn't there some structure by which
we can give you some guardrails here, because you know
they're talking about Arizona's secretary of state came out and said,
I think ten days to fourteen days this can't be.
You know, how can Brazil do it and we can't.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, there's no.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Reason why you can't. I mean, I think the sort
of the fear with a lot of people is if
you allow all these later arriving ballots that's be postmarked, well,
you don't really know what a postmark is. It used
to be a stamp, and sometimes these postmarks are eligible,
and it creates potential that if the if the elections
raise or thin, that there's gonna be these quantity of
(23:38):
votes that.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Maybe we're being able for election day.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
We don't really know we're received at some point afterwards
and you count them or not. That there is extensive litigation.
I think a state like Mississippi should probably you know,
revisit this.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
They don't have to do this.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
In fact, the Mississippi Attorney General defended this law, which
is perhaps not what you'd expect to say, you know,
ballots received by election day if ors otherwise, that might
be something else. But you don't need to voluntarily adopt
this rule.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
No, And you know, the great frustration is that a
lot of legal might and brain power is being exhausted
trying simply to bring integrity to the system, to ensure
that every vote is counted and that those who are
not allowed to vote are not And it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Just seems that simple.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Professor Josh Blackman, South Texas College of Law, as always,
thank you for joining us.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
We will restore the American Republican Michael Vershoe your support,
we will make America powerful again.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Get the democratical coached an NFL team and they had
the worst quarterback in the NFL. They would simply claim
that the best quarterback in the NFL is a Nazi
and a fascist, but it wouldn't mean they could win
the game. See Kamala Harris is the worst candidate the
(25:11):
Democrats have put up in my lifetime. And I'll remind
you that Michael Ducacus was horrible.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'll remind you that Al Gore.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Terrible, John Kerry atrocious. Walter Mondelle was defeated in forty
nine of the fifty states by Ronald Reagan. He won
only his home state of Minnesota. He lost Massachusetts as
a Democrat. So when they claim Trump's a fascist or
(25:46):
a Nazi, it's because they need you to do anything
other than focus on their candidate who's never won to
vote for president. She couldn't last through the Iowa primary
in twenty twenty, and then she was selected as vice
president and they didn't hold They did not hold a
(26:10):
primary process, so she never had to convince voters. Nobody's
ever voted for her outside of California. So the fact
that she's so unpopular but they keep telling us how
wonderful she is is going to hit home a week
from tomorrow and it's going to hit hard, real hard.
(26:35):
So they're just going to keep trying to distract. Trump's
a Nazi, Trump's a fascist. Washington Examiner had a wonderful
piece on this fellow named Christopher Tremaugli. I hope I'm
pronouncing his name correctly a lot of times, a G
before an L in an Italian name, that G can
be silent, like Leno Graulia, the great law professor I
(26:58):
had for conlaw the University of Texas years ago. But
I'll assume his name is Tramayee or Tremaugli. I don't know, Christopher.
He writes for Washington Times, and he writes about calling
Republicans Nazis, and as it turns out in this wonderful piece,
(27:18):
as he points out, this has been a long standing tradition.
Let's start with former Senator Barry Goldwater. He writes Republican
from Arizona and his acceptance speech at the Republican National
Convention in nineteen sixty four, over fifty years before Trump
decided to run for president. Celebrities, journalists, politicians, and other
(27:40):
politicos warned that the GOP presidential nominee was an extreme
fascist who would cause considerable harm to the country. Goldwater,
who served as a pilot during World War Two, was
likened to Nazis and fascists for promoting conservatism during his
presidential campaign. For example, the then Democrat governor of California,
(28:03):
Edmund Gerland Pat Brown remarked about Goldwater's acceptance speech, claiming
it had quote the stinch of fascism. All we needed
to hear was Hyle Hitler. It should be noted that
Goldwater served as a pilot in the military during World
War Two. Brown on the other hand, had no military service.
(28:25):
The then mayor of San Francisco, the city where the
sixty four Republican National Convention was held, said the GOP
quote had main komf as their political bible, that being,
of course, Adolf Hitler's autobiography. The despicable comments continued the
following election. In sixty eight, then Vice President Hubert Humphrey,
(28:47):
and Democrat nominee for president, remarked about the election, if
the British had not fought in forty, Hitler would have
been in London, and if Democrats do not fight in
sixty eight, Nixon will be in the.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
World White House. So here we go.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
So Goldwater's a Nazi, now Nixon's a Nazi. Former President
Richard Nixon won the election, but the Hitler, Nazi and
fascist comparisons never stopped. For example, in nineteen seventy, a
political poster featured an image of Adolph Hitler wearing a
Nazi armband holding a mask of Nixon. Meanwhile, a news
(29:29):
article from October of seventy two, available for viewing on
the CIA's website, referred to quote Nixon's Nazis as part
of commentary criticizing Nixon. Then there's a photograph from October
of seventy three of someone wearing a Nixon mask with
a crown giving the Nazi salute. Gerald Ford followed Nixon
as president and as a Republican who was called a fascist.
(29:53):
In nineteen seventy four, a member of the American Civil
Liberties Union criticized Ford for his lack of action against Nixon.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Quote.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
If Ford's principle had been the rule in Nuremberg, the
Nazi leaders would have been let off and only the
people who carried out their schemes would have been tried,
the ACOU said at the time. Additionally, in the Ford
Gerald Ford Library Museum, a document describes an interaction with
the woman in seventy five in which Ford was harassed
and repeatedly called.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
A fascist and a fascist pig.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Surely, over a decade of accusations and allegations of fascism,
never coming to fruition would stop Democrats from calling Republicans Nazis,
fascists or comparing them to Hitler right wrong. Former President
Ronald Reagan was the next target in the Democrat's line
of unsubstantiated accusations of fascism. Congressman William Clay a Democrat
(30:49):
from Missouri, stated that Reagan wanted to quote replace the
Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from mine
komp Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan
plotting a fascist push in a darkened Munich beer Hall Hall.
(31:09):
Harry Stein, later a Conservative convert, wrote in Esquire that
the voters who supported Reagan were comparable to the good
Germans in Hitler's Germany. American Enterprise Institute scholar Stephen Hayward
highlighted another incident in which the intelligensia and academia also
contributed to the Reagan fascist comparisons. When John Roth, a
(31:34):
Holocaust scholar from the Claremont Colleges, commented about Reagan's election,
I could not help remembering how forty years ago economic
turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism, all intensified
by Germany's defeat in World War One, to send the
world reeling into catastrophe. It is not entirely mistaken to
(31:55):
contemplate our post election state with fear and trembling. Former
President George W. Bush might have been the Republican politician
who faced the harshest and most vile criticism. Before Trump,
Bush was regularly called every dirty name in the book,
from racist to Nazi to fascist to war criminal. There
are many examples of Lincoln Bush to Hitler, Nazi and fascist.
(32:17):
In twenty twelve, Senator Mitt Romney, the same Romney so
many Democrats love today, was also linked to Nazis and fascism.
One delegate from Kansas said Romney was a habitual liar
and likened him to Hitler while criticizing the accuracy of
Romney's campaign talking points. They've done it to Paul Ryan,
(32:38):
They've done it to Dick Cheney. Now Cheney's on their team,
so I guess he's not a Nazi anymore. They're gonna
call Trump every name in the book, just as they've
called you every name in the book racist. They're gonna
call you horrible names because that's what they do, and
there are no consequences. There should be consequences. The kinds
(32:59):
of people who make these accusations should be driven from
public life. They should never win another election. The kind
of reporters who write this stuff, their businesses should die
off because they're liars. Much as the Washington Post is
struggling with the fact that Jeff Beisos won't allow them
to endorse a candidate. You're supposed to be journalist, Why
(33:20):
would you want to endorse anyway, So they're resigning and
canceling their subscriptions. Well good, A week and a day
until we bring change to this country.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I can't wait.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where a government was organized with a constitution
laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and dominant.
And that is what led to the US becoming the
greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be the
best they could be, unlike it had ever happened.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged to
delivery government that serves the American.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
People better than ever before. To win with every single facet.
We're going to win so much.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
You may even get tired of winning. And you say, please, please,
it's too much winning. If we can't take it anymore,
mister President, it's too much, and I'll say.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
No, it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have
to win more. We're gonna win more. We're gonna win
so nine.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
You never did think that it ever happen again.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You never get together through real brand, They would.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Laugh again.
Speaker 8 (01:18):
That it is a tall, crowd city built on rocks
stronger than oceans, wind swept, god blessed, and teeming with people,
of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city
with cree courts that humed with commerce and creativity. And
if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors,
(01:39):
and the doors were open to anyone with the wheels
and the heart to get it. That's how I saw
it and see it still.
Speaker 9 (01:46):
And we will restore and renovate our nations once great cities, making.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Them safe, clean and beautiful again.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
And that includes our nation's capital. And never did again,
you never did think they would never get together.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely,
jobs will come roaring back, and the middle class will
prosper like never ever before.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
And we're going to.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Do it very rapidly.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I will bring back the American dream.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
Your expectations are not big enough, not big enough. It's
time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in
the world. Leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We can do that. We are Americans.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
Ambition is our heritage, Greatness is our birthright.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Together with great humility, I am.
Speaker 9 (03:06):
Asking you to be excited about the future of our country.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
To be excited, be excited.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
America is undefeated in World Wars. Americans are a proud people,
but we're watching as our insides are being eaten down
by the cast offs, the criminals, the pedophiles and murderers,
the sex traffickers from abroad and from the Democrats from within.
(03:37):
Americans are ready to have a great nation again. There
is so much pent up frustration. Many people have given
up hope, but they don't want to They want to
believe again. I liken it to being a sports fan
(03:58):
and you've had a cellar dweller.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
For ye and years and years.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
You look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they got
Tom Brady when it was thought he would retire, and
he came down and it was kind of a sweep
States sweepstakes for Brady. I thought he ended up in
Oakland or Las Vegas with the Raiders, but no, he
went to Tampa Bay and they had a hope, maybe
we can have a winner again. They'd had a winner
(04:25):
relatively recently, and Trent Dilferd was the quarterback of that team.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Imagine that.
Speaker 10 (04:29):
But there was excitement in the land. And that's what
Trump is bringing, and he's bringing bright minds. Elon Musk
is a conqueror. He's a creator, he's a doer. Vek
Ramaswami financially very successful, a bright, bright guy, a cut
(04:51):
above the Democrats. One of the best speeches. I think
Tucker Crosson's was the best speech of yesterday, and we'll
play that in the next segment. One of the best
speach at the Medicine Square Garden rally was vivet Ramaswami,
and he's talking about America First includes all Americans. This
(05:12):
is an inclusive, exciting message.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
The media in the back, they won't talk about this,
but they know it to be true. Donald Trump is
actually the president who will unite this country.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Actually, and we don't talk about that enough.
Speaker 11 (05:33):
America First includes all Americans, regardless of their race, their gender,
or their sexual orientation. Our message to Black Americans tonight
is this, we want you what.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
We want for every American.
Speaker 11 (05:49):
Safe neighborhoods, good jobs, clean streets, a country where you
are judged based on the content of your character, not
the color of your skin or your political beliefs.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
That's the America we know.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
Our message to gay Americans tonight is this.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
You're free to marry who you want.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
If you want, without the government standing in your way.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
But that doesn't mean that boys get to compete with.
Speaker 11 (06:18):
Girls and girls sports, or you do genital mutilation and
chemical castration on our children. Our message to every legal
immigrant in this country is this, you're like my parents.
But our message to every illegal immigrant, if you came legally,
you get the same American dream that everybody else does.
(06:39):
Work hard, get ahead, make contributions to this country, love
the nation, and that's our message to legal immigrants. But
our message to every illegal immigrant is also this. We
will return you to your country of origin, not because
you're all bad people, but because you broke the law, and.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The United States of America is founded on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The rule of law.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Our message to my generation, the millennials.
Speaker 11 (07:07):
Is this, you are sold to false billa goods. You
were told you become a gender studies major in California.
Somehow that gets you a head starting the American dream
when it hasn't worked out that way, dead on your shoulders.
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yes, it's true you were
lied to, but we can't just be cynical about our
country because this is still the last best hope that
(07:27):
we have in the free world.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
And our message to gen.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Z is this You're going to be the generation that
saves the country. You want to be a rebel eighteen
years old, stand up on your college campus and call
yourself a conservative, be proud of it. Say you want
to get married, have kids, raise a family, and have
a good job. That's how we win in America. We
don't have to be this nation in decline.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
We are still on our way up.
Speaker 11 (07:52):
We're still that country where we will look our children
in the eye and meet it when we tell them
you get ahead in the United States with your own
hard work, own commitment, your own dedication, and that you
know what you are free to speak your mind at
every step.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Of the way. That is the American dream. That is
what we are running too.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
And that is what we get when we send Donald
Trump back to the White House. This November, True Texas
Original Book, True National Treasure, No messing around with.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
This is the Michael Arry Show. So the Medicine Square
Garden Gathering.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
They was an all star team, the folks with positive messages,
personal accomplishment and the hopes and dreams of a lot
of Americans being voiced.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Through their words and experiences and.
Speaker 10 (08:49):
Backgrounds and accomplishments. For my money, Perhaps the best speech
itself was from a guy who speaks like a writer,
Tucker Carlson. He started life as a writer, That's why
he structures his arguments like a writer. But I thought
he made the best case for Trump of anybody out
(09:09):
there with this beat. This is a little longer than
I would normally play of an audio clip, but I
thought it was so good, and we whittled it down
as short as we could get it to still get
to the points we like. So anyway, this was Tucker
Crosson at Madison Square Garden yesterday.
Speaker 12 (09:27):
Donald Trump's gonna win. He's gonna win. I know that
that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Why is Donald Trump gonna win?
Speaker 12 (09:37):
The people he's about to defeat have no idea, and
they're panicked. They have no idea why people like Donald Trump.
And their first theory was, well, Donald Trump is evil,
so half the country is evil also, and that's one
of the reasons they spent the last.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Four years trying to destroy the country because.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
They're mad at its voters for liking Donald Trump. How
much easier would it have been just to pause for
twenty minutes and ask yourself, honestly, in some silent place.
Why do people like Donald Trump? And if they had
been honest enough to ask themselves that question, they would
have come up with the two main reasons.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And hear what they Here's what they are.
Speaker 12 (10:12):
The first reason that people like Donald Trump is because.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
He likes them, That's why.
Speaker 12 (10:18):
And it's real affection is something you can't fake. I
don't care how many times Kamala Harris would tell me
she loves me.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't believe her. I saw her kiss her.
Speaker 12 (10:29):
Husband with a mask on, a mask on. That's her
version of love. It's fake, it's not real. They spent
ten years telling you Trump is a hater. Do you
feel that on him? No, you don't, because it's not there.
I've spent a lot of time with Trump, and there's
(10:50):
not one moment I've ever been with him off camera
He's spending his time grousing about people he hates. Ever,
he's talking about the people and the country he.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Loves in his private time. Trust me, and people know in.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
A country that has been taken over by a leadership
class that actually despises them and their values and their
history and their culture and their customs, really hates them
to the point that.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's trying to replace them.
Speaker 12 (11:15):
They know someone who actually has affection for them, and
that's Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And it's requited. It's requited.
Speaker 12 (11:22):
They know when he goes to McDonald's and serves fries
like he's not faking that at all.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's why that works.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Democratic media consults are like, how is that working? Because
it's real, That's why. And the second reason that people
love Trump, and I put myself in this category, it's
why I'm here today, is because he's liberated us in
the deepest and truest sense. And the liberation he has
brought to us is the liberation from the obligation.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
To tell lies.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
Donald Trump has made it possible for the rest of
us to tell the truth about the world around us.
And that's the single most liberating thing you can do
for people. If you want to enslave people, if you
want to degrade.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Them, force them to tell lies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
And they have.
Speaker 12 (12:10):
They forced us to lie about everything at gunpoint. Effectively,
they put people in prison for refusing to lie, and
not just the obvious lies that men can become women,
or Vladimir Putin blew up the North Stream pipeline.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Know honest that you did. January sixth was insurrection. They
were on ormed, but it was very.
Speaker 12 (12:29):
Insurrectiony, not even the obvious ones. But the big lie,
you know what the big lie is. The big lie
is that they're impressive. That's what the big lie is.
That the people in charge have somehow earned the right
to rule over you, and they haven't. And you know
that these are the single most useless people in the
United States.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They have no skills whatsoever.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
They've got three quarters of the money and they didn't
earn it. They set up a system precisely for the
per of awarding themselves wealth and power when it's undeserved.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You look at Liz Cheney.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
And you ask yourself, honestly, what skill could she possibly
have that allowed her to send hundreds of thousands of
people to their deaths?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Did she earn that? I don't think she did.
Speaker 12 (13:18):
No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful. No fair
system would make Larry Fink rich. No fair system would
elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination. She's
never been accused of doing anything useful.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
She has precisely no achievements.
Speaker 12 (13:37):
She's a nominee without getting a single vote.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She is a.
Speaker 12 (13:40):
Metaphor for the system they created to make.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Themselves rich and powerful.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
And then they have the goal to lecture you that
people can actually change a flat tire and repair a power.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Grid, who have useful jobs, who pay.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
Your taxes and work forty hours a week, lecture you
that you are somehow immoral. And Donald Trump has empowered
the rest of us through mostly to sticking around in
the face of their hate and abuse and persecution. He
has given the rest of us the right to call
bs on the charade. No, you are not better than us.
(14:14):
No you are not smarter than us. No you do
not deserve what you have. You probably stole it. No,
you're not going to bully me into silence anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And I can promise you.
Speaker 12 (14:26):
At this point, nine days out, when Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
and Elon Musk and Tulca Gabberton, pretty much every high
school senior and college shorty girl in the country has
come out finally said yeah, I am for Donald Trump. Actually, well,
the entire country has realized there is nothing embarrassing about this.
What's embarrassing is to take a perfectly great.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Country and destroy it as they have.
Speaker 12 (14:52):
I'm not ashamed you should be at that moment. It's
going to be pretty tough for them ten days from
now to look in the eye to America with a
straight face.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's gonna be pretty hard.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
To look at us and say, you know what, Kamala Harris,
she's just she got eighty.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Five million votes because.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
She's just so impressive as the first Samoan Malaysian low
Iq former California prosecutor ever to be elected president. It
was just a ground swell of popular support. And anyone
who thinks otherwise just a freak or a criminal at
this stage of the game, after nine years of listening
(15:32):
to their lives and finding every single one of them
totally falls. No, it's not safe and effective, and no,
she's not impressive. It's very hard for me to believe
the rest of us are gonna say, you know what,
Joe Scarborough, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
She won fair and.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Square because she's just so impressive. I don't think so.
And to me, that is liberation. It's the freedom to
say what's obviously true as a free man and not
a slave. And I just want to say thank you
Donald Trump for that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Speakers smart devices from Michael's brain every single one of
them to your ears.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
This is the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
All of the ballots must be received and counted by
election day, which will be November fifth, So the five
day grace period in the Mississippi law would be preempted
by federal law. All of this an attempt to reduce,
if not altogether eliminate, election fraud. Professor Josh Blackman and
(16:42):
a legal expert from the.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
South Texas College of Law is our guest. Professor.
Speaker 10 (16:47):
Can you set up what exactly this case is about
and how much effect will this have on the forthcoming election?
This one right now and then long term.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Sure, this ruling will probably not have any impact on
the current election, but it could make a difference on
future elections. So here's what happened. During the pandemic. Many
states began to change their rules. It used to be
that if a ballot was received by election day, they
would count it, but the rules changed. If a ballot
was received after election day, if it was postmark before,
(17:22):
they would still count it. You know, this is a
COVID emergency measure, and now the COVID's gone, they sort
of left the law in place. And this is Mississippi.
This is not exactly a blue state. The problem, though,
is that federal law says that there is election day.
It's a day that's actually set by a statute passed
by Congress. And even if the ballot might be postmarked
(17:44):
before election day, the court said as to be received
by election day, and they will not count these late
arriving ballots. The court they'll put the ruling sort of
on hold is it will look really close to the
twenty twenty four election. We're not going to change things. Now,
let's go look at this for twenty six. So no
immediate effect, but I think this could have an impact
on how absentee balloting works in the next mid cremony,
(18:06):
even the next presdential election.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
So in this particular case, and let's say, okay, let's
say this case has maximum influence over an election, maybe,
if not twenty twenty four, the midterm elections in twenty
twenty six. In order for that to extend beyond Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana,
it would have to go to the Supreme Court, and
(18:30):
the Court as it's comprised presently would be expected to
uphold it right a more conservative court. If Trump wins,
you can expect that trend to continue. If Democrats win
and the composition changes, you would then assume it would
go to the Supreme Court so that it would be overruled.
Is that a fair I know we're horse trading here
(18:51):
and it's purely conjecture, but is that a fair estimation?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You know, even though the current court is conservative on paper,
I'm not sure if they agree with the Fistrica in
this one. There have been a number of states, have
it had policies after COVID where they accept these late
arriving ballots in Pennsylvania. Otherwise, I don't know that the
true court says, okay, we election day means election day,
you have to get them in on time. I mean,
(19:18):
this is one of the problems we have with Pennsylvania.
For example, we may know the outcome is like a
week later because they have all these late arriving ballots
and who tech knows when they you know, when they're
being accounted. I think it would be a good policy
to have all the ballots in by election day.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That'd be a nice thing to have.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
But you know, this FRU Court might say, well, these
states have been doing it, we don't have to disrupt
with the States and doing don't worry about the cederal law,
it doesn't really speak to it. But your other horse
trade one. I think this is a very important point
to stress. If Harris wins and there's a democratic House
and democratic Senate, I think it's almost a foregone conclusion
that they'll try to pack the court. I've you know,
(19:53):
there are not enough people willing to say no any
more to this, and they're just still so burned to
what happened with abortion a couple of years. With that,
they'll just destroy the court and they'll add, you know,
three more justices, six more justices, whatever the numbers, it
doesn't matter. And once you do that, once it's over
my line of workshops mattering very much because the constution
just whatever the latest majority.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Of the court's added.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Whoever had the most votes lost election. So if that happens,
Michael Early voting, the least of our worries the court,
who know it is a goner, and all the.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Things that we think we know about the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Law will change very suddenly.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
Well, and particularly when we consider that the Supreme Court
is the backstop against unconstitutional actions. When you no longer
have the backstop, you really then have majority rule, mob rule.
You have a government without the ability, you have no
checks and balances, which you know we once extole the
(20:47):
virtues of this has been a fantasy of really socialists,
not just democrats. But this has been a fantasy of
socialists since FDR proposed it, and I think meant it
but couldn't get away with that. And the idea is,
if we can't beat you fair and square, we're going
to when we're in power, pack this court and you'll
(21:07):
never stop us from there. And they're right, as you note,
they're right.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right, and they know this too. You know, they attempted
to have you know, what they call through court ethics reform,
and let's just be clear. All the stuff at ethics,
it's just why to get just the leader and Justice
Thomas stepped down from cases. It's about unpacking the court,
if you will, taking VOTs off. But once they get
six more judges, they don't care about these ethics. If
they'll just fly away, they'll just sort of making noise.
(21:34):
And rightly, this is an issue that is links getting
nearly enough attention. Flection next week, the fillibuster. Once it
is gone, there'll be you know, legislation, immigration, to add,
you know, tens of millions of new voters they will
be staged with for Puerto Rico and disc of Columbia,
So that will makes me impossible to every Republican Senate
ever again, you know, the sorts of changes you have
(21:55):
once the Philibuster's gone, I think are very significant, and
the tracks of having Haris a democratic House and democratic
Senate I think would really bring the end of what
we know for the judiciary.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Well, it's good that people understand this while there's still
time to vote. It's good that people across the land
understand that the consequences of not voting are real. I mean,
we're talking to a legal scholar now, who is not
a particularly hyper partisan individual. This is the reality of
our constitution, our legal system, the framework, the very infrastructure
(22:29):
of our political system, and like any other, whether that
be Rome, Greece, modern day Venezuela, or the once Great Germany,
can fall. And this is how your systems fall. This
is how the process that's put in place manages to fail.
Back to this decision in Mississippi by the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals, this ruling that ballots must be in
(22:53):
and counted by election day, I think a lot of
people watching this say, isn't there some structure by which
we can give you some guardrails here, because you know
they're talking about Arizona's secretary of state came out and said,
I think ten days to fourteen days this can't be.
You know, how can Brazil do it and we can't.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, there's no.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Reason why you can't. I mean, I think the sort
of the fear with a lot of people is if
you allow all these later arriving ballots that's be postmarked, well,
you don't really know what a postmark is. It used
to be a stamp, and sometimes these postmarks are eligible,
and it creates potential that if the if the elections
raise or thin, that there's gonna be these quantity of
(23:38):
votes that.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Maybe we're being able for election day.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
We don't really know we're received at some point afterwards
and you count them or not. That there is extensive litigation.
I think a state like Mississippi should probably you know,
revisit this.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
They don't have to do this.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
In fact, the Mississippi Attorney General defended this law, which
is perhaps not what you'd expect to say, you know,
ballots received by election day if ors otherwise, that might
be something else. But you don't need to voluntarily adopt
this rule.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
No, And you know, the great frustration is that a
lot of legal might and brain power is being exhausted
trying simply to bring integrity to the system, to ensure
that every vote is counted and that those who are
not allowed to vote are not And it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Just seems that simple.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Professor Josh Blackman, South Texas College of Law, as always,
thank you for joining us.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
We will restore the American Republican Michael Vershoe your support,
we will make America powerful again.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Get the democratical coached an NFL team and they had
the worst quarterback in the NFL. They would simply claim
that the best quarterback in the NFL is a Nazi
and a fascist, but it wouldn't mean they could win
the game. See Kamala Harris is the worst candidate the
(25:11):
Democrats have put up in my lifetime. And I'll remind
you that Michael Ducacus was horrible.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'll remind you that Al Gore.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Terrible, John Kerry atrocious. Walter Mondelle was defeated in forty
nine of the fifty states by Ronald Reagan. He won
only his home state of Minnesota. He lost Massachusetts as
a Democrat. So when they claim Trump's a fascist or
(25:46):
a Nazi, it's because they need you to do anything
other than focus on their candidate who's never won to
vote for president. She couldn't last through the Iowa primary
in twenty twenty, and then she was selected as vice
president and they didn't hold They did not hold a
(26:10):
primary process, so she never had to convince voters. Nobody's
ever voted for her outside of California. So the fact
that she's so unpopular but they keep telling us how
wonderful she is is going to hit home a week
from tomorrow and it's going to hit hard, real hard.
(26:35):
So they're just going to keep trying to distract. Trump's
a Nazi, Trump's a fascist. Washington Examiner had a wonderful
piece on this fellow named Christopher Tremaugli. I hope I'm
pronouncing his name correctly a lot of times, a G
before an L in an Italian name, that G can
be silent, like Leno Graulia, the great law professor I
(26:58):
had for conlaw the University of Texas years ago. But
I'll assume his name is Tramayee or Tremaugli. I don't know, Christopher.
He writes for Washington Times, and he writes about calling
Republicans Nazis, and as it turns out in this wonderful piece,
(27:18):
as he points out, this has been a long standing tradition.
Let's start with former Senator Barry Goldwater. He writes Republican
from Arizona and his acceptance speech at the Republican National
Convention in nineteen sixty four, over fifty years before Trump
decided to run for president. Celebrities, journalists, politicians, and other
(27:40):
politicos warned that the GOP presidential nominee was an extreme
fascist who would cause considerable harm to the country. Goldwater,
who served as a pilot during World War Two, was
likened to Nazis and fascists for promoting conservatism during his
presidential campaign. For example, the then Democrat governor of California,
(28:03):
Edmund Gerland Pat Brown remarked about Goldwater's acceptance speech, claiming
it had quote the stinch of fascism. All we needed
to hear was Hyle Hitler. It should be noted that
Goldwater served as a pilot in the military during World
War Two. Brown on the other hand, had no military service.
(28:25):
The then mayor of San Francisco, the city where the
sixty four Republican National Convention was held, said the GOP
quote had main komf as their political bible, that being,
of course, Adolf Hitler's autobiography. The despicable comments continued the
following election. In sixty eight, then Vice President Hubert Humphrey,
(28:47):
and Democrat nominee for president, remarked about the election, if
the British had not fought in forty, Hitler would have
been in London, and if Democrats do not fight in
sixty eight, Nixon will be in the.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
World White House. So here we go.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
So Goldwater's a Nazi, now Nixon's a Nazi. Former President
Richard Nixon won the election, but the Hitler, Nazi and
fascist comparisons never stopped. For example, in nineteen seventy, a
political poster featured an image of Adolph Hitler wearing a
Nazi armband holding a mask of Nixon. Meanwhile, a news
(29:29):
article from October of seventy two, available for viewing on
the CIA's website, referred to quote Nixon's Nazis as part
of commentary criticizing Nixon. Then there's a photograph from October
of seventy three of someone wearing a Nixon mask with
a crown giving the Nazi salute. Gerald Ford followed Nixon
as president and as a Republican who was called a fascist.
(29:53):
In nineteen seventy four, a member of the American Civil
Liberties Union criticized Ford for his lack of action against Nixon.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Quote.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
If Ford's principle had been the rule in Nuremberg, the
Nazi leaders would have been let off and only the
people who carried out their schemes would have been tried,
the ACOU said at the time. Additionally, in the Ford
Gerald Ford Library Museum, a document describes an interaction with
the woman in seventy five in which Ford was harassed
and repeatedly called.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
A fascist and a fascist pig.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Surely, over a decade of accusations and allegations of fascism,
never coming to fruition would stop Democrats from calling Republicans Nazis,
fascists or comparing them to Hitler right wrong. Former President
Ronald Reagan was the next target in the Democrat's line
of unsubstantiated accusations of fascism. Congressman William Clay a Democrat
(30:49):
from Missouri, stated that Reagan wanted to quote replace the
Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from mine
komp Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan
plotting a fascist push in a darkened Munich beer Hall Hall.
(31:09):
Harry Stein, later a Conservative convert, wrote in Esquire that
the voters who supported Reagan were comparable to the good
Germans in Hitler's Germany. American Enterprise Institute scholar Stephen Hayward
highlighted another incident in which the intelligensia and academia also
contributed to the Reagan fascist comparisons. When John Roth, a
(31:34):
Holocaust scholar from the Claremont Colleges, commented about Reagan's election,
I could not help remembering how forty years ago economic
turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism, all intensified
by Germany's defeat in World War One, to send the
world reeling into catastrophe. It is not entirely mistaken to
(31:55):
contemplate our post election state with fear and trembling. Former
President George W. Bush might have been the Republican politician
who faced the harshest and most vile criticism. Before Trump,
Bush was regularly called every dirty name in the book,
from racist to Nazi to fascist to war criminal. There
are many examples of Lincoln Bush to Hitler, Nazi and fascist.
(32:17):
In twenty twelve, Senator Mitt Romney, the same Romney so
many Democrats love today, was also linked to Nazis and fascism.
One delegate from Kansas said Romney was a habitual liar
and likened him to Hitler while criticizing the accuracy of
Romney's campaign talking points. They've done it to Paul Ryan,
(32:38):
They've done it to Dick Cheney. Now Cheney's on their team,
so I guess he's not a Nazi anymore. They're gonna
call Trump every name in the book, just as they've
called you every name in the book racist. They're gonna
call you horrible names because that's what they do, and
there are no consequences. There should be consequences. The kinds
(32:59):
of people who make these accusations should be driven from
public life. They should never win another election. The kind
of reporters who write this stuff, their businesses should die
off because they're liars. Much as the Washington Post is
struggling with the fact that Jeff Beisos won't allow them
to endorse a candidate. You're supposed to be journalist, Why
(33:20):
would you want to endorse anyway, So they're resigning and
canceling their subscriptions. Well good, A week and a day
until we bring change to this country.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I can't wait.
