Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air. President Trump is
(00:26):
very frustrated with members of his own party and their unwillingness.
It's not inability, it's unwillingness to carry out his agenda.
And he is right to be angry. We are a
year into Republican control of the House, the Senate, in
(00:47):
the White House. Why don't you take a moment and
tell me what we've accomplished. This is as good as
it gets, folks. We got the president we want, doing
things like a man who doesn't have but a few
days left to live and wants to fix the world's problems.
We've got control the House, control the Senate. What have
(01:10):
we accomplished? You give the Democrats this kind of control.
They took over healthcare. What have we accomplished? So President Trump,
the story goes, was caught by a hot mic complaining
about Senate Republicans. Here's what he said. You knowed? He says,
(01:48):
you know, I can't appoint anybody. Everybody I've appointed their
time has expired. This is a process. A tradition, is
the blue slip tradition. It is a process by which
Republicans allow Democrats to prevent the president from enacting his agenda.
(02:15):
This is the swamp at its absolute worst. These are
the behind the scenes machinations. These people don't love Trump.
John Cornyn his running ads in Texas about how he
stood strong with Donald Trump. John Cornyn hates Donald Trump.
(02:38):
John Cornyn urged Americans last year to move past Trump,
don't vote for Trump. He didn't want Trump to be president.
He doesn't like Trump. A lot of these people will smile,
they'll show up at the rallies because he can draw
a crowd. He's back out on the road in Pennsylvania
(02:59):
because he under stands if he stays stuck in DC,
he loses his power. His power does not come from
the party. It does not come from the party politicians.
It comes from you. It comes upward. They don't want
to show up at one of his events and him
say something bad about him. If Donald Trump so much
(03:21):
as nods to them at an event where you show up,
that boosts them in the polls. They're only saying pro
Trump things and pro Maga things because that's what it
takes to get elected. They wouldn't do it otherwise. But
he's right. He can't appoint his people. The Democrats are
(03:46):
holding him up, and Grassley is allowing that to happen.
This is that moment where Robert the Bruce was working
behind the scenes in Brave Heart. Rememberilliam Wallace mel Gibson
represented the little people, the people who did not have lands,
(04:07):
people who worked them, the people who had been terrorized
by the English king. And so the nobles said, you
fight the war, we'll back you up, we'll fund it.
The nobles had hired help, hired mercenaries on horseback with
better equipment. But William Wallace, he represented the men of
(04:30):
the land and they were fighting with their hearts. So
what did King Longshanks do? He cut a deal with
the Scottish nobles. All right, you guys have fought a
good war. Here's what we'll do. When the next battle
begins and the attack begins. You call off your cavalry,
(04:57):
you turn and leave help us, and we'll slaughter the
very people who were fighting for your side, the people
who have nothing, they don't have lance, And in exchange,
I will expand your lance, and we will destroy the
maga of your people, and I will give you the
(05:18):
elected officials. Will I will enlarge your holdings like a
prayer a job as here. And so they did, and
Robert the Bruce was unmasked by William Wallace, and it
was a dagger through his heart to realize what had
(05:43):
just happened. And Robert the Bruce is explaining to his father,
those men fight for William Wallace because they believe in him,
not because they pay him or they fear him, because
they believe in him. I want that well, the swamp
will never have that. You support Trump, not because he
(06:06):
pays you or gives you anything, but because you believe
in this country, and you believe that he believes in
this country. Remember that scene.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I must have a lions with England to prevail here.
He achieved that, he saved your family, increased your land.
In time, he will have all the power in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Dance titles, men power, nothing nothing, I have nothing. Win
fight for me, because if they do not, I throw
them off from my land, and I start their wives
and their children.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Those men who bled the ground read at Folker.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They fought for William Wallace.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And he fights for something that I've never had, and
I took it from him when I betrayed him and
I saw it in his face on the battlefield, and
it's tearing me apart.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
In betray all those heart I want to.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Believe as he does, I'll never be on the wrong
side again.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Sports fans know that you have what is known as
a generational talent, a Tiger Woods who comes along a
Michael Jordan. Donald Trump is a generational leader in this country.
People support what he stands for to such an extent
(07:33):
that even when he does things they don't understand that
they disagreed with yesterday, they will bite their tongue because
they don't want to hurt the movement when he pardons
Henry Quaar or sends chips to China, because they want
this movement to survive and thrive, and because they understand
(07:57):
that the Democrats and the media and the Republican elected
officials are all out to destroy him. Republicans are conspiring
with the Democrats to keep the president's judges off the bench,
and they're succeeding. And that should make you. It sounds
(08:23):
like this that Michael Barry Joe that don't indicates everything
is ready for your call. President Trump was caught on
the hot night stomping through the White House mad that
he can't appoint his judges to the bench because the
Republicans won't do it. This is Thune doing this, This
(08:45):
is Grassly doing this, and by the way, it's Corning.
Corning has worked behind the scenes to thwart Donald Trump
at every turn and then has the audacity to come
back to Texas and tell us how well he's working
with Donald Trump. They're going to spend one hundred million dollars.
Filing was completed in the state of Texas yesterday. John Cornyn,
(09:07):
over twenty years a senator in Texas, is being challenged
by the attorney general who's leading the race, a several
term congressman named Wesley Hunt, who's in second place, in
John Cornyn, who's in third, despite spending forty million dollars
attacking the other two. This race is going to suck
(09:29):
up so much cash for the Republicans that there won't
be money left for the close states. And a Senate
seat is a Senate seat. They're all equal, whether it's
from Vermont, South Dakota, Texas, California, and New York Florida.
Big state, small state. But they are spending a fortune.
They're projected to spend one hundred million dollars on his
(09:52):
losing campaign. Why is it so important if you live
outside of Texas? Did you even know who John Cornyn was?
You think he's somebody we can't live without. Of course not,
but he's a very important lieutenant in the swamp movement.
He's the one that takes the other folks when they
come to town to decide and say, hey, don't get
(10:14):
out of line here, Okay, we can break you. We're
more powerful than the people. So the president can't put
his judges on the bench, and everything's going to be
appealed to the bench. We know that, we've seen the
importance of that. So the Republicans are effectively, essentially and
(10:36):
by design, destroying the mag of movement. Here is the
President saying the same thing to reporters. He said on
the hot mic. He has attorney for the district of
New Jersey after the courts disqualified her. Do you have
any comment on that?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
If she's not the qualified, you've got a blue slip thing.
That's horrible. It's a horrible thing. It makes it impossible
to appoint the judge or US attorney and it's a
shamed and the Republicans should be ashamed. Of themselves that
they allowed us to go on because I can't appoint
a US attorney that's not a Democrat because they put
a block on it. So if you appoint in Virginia
(11:13):
or in New Jersey, or in California US attorney or
a judge, I mean to a judge, situation is ridiculous.
The only people that you can get buy are Democrats
because they will put a hold on it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If I put up George.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Washington and Abraham Lincoln to be a US attorney in
New Jersey or to be US attorney in Virginia, we
have Democrat senators.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
They will not approve them.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And this is a gentleman's agreement that's lasted.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
For too loll and it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Doesn't make it, especially in light of what's going on today.
It means you can't appoint a Republican US attorney and
we don't play the same game with them, but they do.
And I hope that somebody speaks to a senator grassly
about doing something about the blue slip, because.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm telling you, if John.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I put up great people, top people, highest education, the
best lawyers to be like US attorneys and both senators,
it only takes one but if they're Democrats Senators, they say,
we're not going to improve it. I had a couple
of them say, what are your point, Democrats?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
All because Senator.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Grassley with his blue slip stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Will not let anybody go by.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
By the way, the Democrats have violated the blue slip
provision on numerous occasions, but we don't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And what it means is, I guess they just have
to keep appointing people for three months and then just
appoint another one another one.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
And it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We're losing tremendous We're losing a lot of great people.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We have about seven US attorneys who are not going
to be able to keep their jobs much longer because
of the blue because unless I think I know why
they did that to protect their ass Okay, that's why
they did that, but.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It should be done away with.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I want to be able to appoint great the most
highly educated, the most respected people. They can't keep that
jobs because of the blue slips.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We bear some responsibility here, folks. We've sent too many
people back to Congress, too many people back to the
Senate because that was the name we recognized. Because we
didn't bother to listen to the alternatives, to the challengers,
because the consultants got in your ear and said, you
(13:41):
can't replace Mitch McConnell with this other person. They won't
be able to beat the Democrats in November. You know
why that is. We'll give you a great example. It
was twenty ten. There was a fellow named Todd Aiken, doctor,
well regarded social conservative. He won the Republican nomination in
(14:06):
Missouri against the incumbent Claire mccaskell. Tea Party fervor was
at a high. Carl Rove saw the Tea Party for
what it was a threat to his power, a threat
to the meetings where they fly jets out to these
mountain retreats and the billionaires gather and they pick, like
the mafia, who the leaders will be. Well, Todd Aiken
(14:30):
was a Tea Party candidate and he won the primary
against Rove's guy. So it gets closer to November and
Todd Aikin was asked a question about abortion and if
the woman was raped, and he made this statement, well,
if she says she was raped, we need to find out,
(14:55):
in other words, as we know happens. Does that happened?
One percent of the time, nine a percent of the time,
somewhere in between. It matters. There are women who claim
they were raped. In fact, it was thought to be
a phenomenon. It's been said anyway that there were white
women who were having a baby with a black man
who would claim they were raped because their daddy would
(15:17):
kill them for having slept with a black man. And
so there were claims of rape. How often did it happen?
I don't know. Did it happen? I feel certain it did.
There are other cases. Girl gets in trouble, she's dating
a boy, they break up, She's devastated. She says I
(15:38):
was raped by him. Because now she's ashamed, she's pregnant,
she's scared. We know that there are claims of rape
that are not true. You can't believe all women any
more than you can believe all mugging victims, burglary victims,
carjacking victims, or family of murder victims. You have to investigate.
(16:04):
We're not Saudi Arabia. We have a system of jurisprudence.
So what happened? They made Todd Acin out to be
a man who did not believe that women could ever
get raped, and therefore he didn't have the temperament. You see,
it's always about who can carry themselves probably, and so
(16:26):
Todd Akin was defeated Claire macaskell, who won that Senate
seat that we would have won in Missouris wing state.
She ended up being Barack Obama's campaign chairman in twenty twelve.
And Karl Rove just keeps rolling on getting rich. I
was the hunt and now I'm the hunter. Michael Ferry, somebody, Dawn.
(16:47):
Interesting thing happening in Texas is going to get a
lot of national attention. You've got a woman named Jasmine
Crockett born in Saint Louis, lived in an upper middle
class community, very similar to AOC in this case. But
then when she started running, she from the streets. So
(17:09):
she became some sort of a Cardi B character, but
a low grade Cardi B. We call her Cardi C,
a low grade kind of hustler. You'll remember when Barack
Obama was running, Los Angeles Times had an editorial during
(17:32):
the in the primary because they wanted Hillary Clinton, and
they referred to him as Barack the magic Negro, and
they were resentful of the fact that we had a
black candidate who was vying for the nomination of a
major party who was not Jesse Jackson. So here was
(17:54):
a guy who could be taken seriously because he could
stand up probably, he could put the g on the words,
not drip them. And he was not from the hood,
you see. He was a better educated man. See, and
he was polite. And we needed to have a black
president and he would do so. We were all supposed
to fall in line and be very excited. This is
a historic moment. That's why they got so set with Rush,
(18:16):
who said, in four words, I hope he fails. And
it turns out we all did. Rush was prescient and unafraid.
You look at the number of Republicans who said, I
hope he succeeds. This will be a great moment for America. Well,
he succeeded, all right. He succeeded in destroying a part
of this country. He succeeded in killing a lot of
(18:38):
dreams and businesses. Oh, he succeeded, all right, mister Republican
who wanted to say the right thing because you're scared
that he's black. So there were moments, however, that Barack
Obama would engage in a little ghetto, he'd get a
little gangster. His tone would start to start to change
when he was out on the on the campaign trail,
(19:01):
particularly in a largely black audience of sayah, Detroit or
Philadelphia or Baltimore, and he would take on this black
preacher tone that would that would occasionally go gangster. And
you could just imagine Denzel Washington channeling this this inner
you know, black hoodlum leader, gangst them, bad boy pimp,
(19:25):
and occasionally he would roll that out. In fact, Hillary
Clinton even felt the need to do that in quoting
the Reverend James Cleveland at one point, I don't feel
no ways tired. I come too far from where I
started from. Nobody told me that the road would be zy.
(19:50):
I don't believe he brought me this far. There is
this desperate need to pander to a black audience by
to the lowest common denominator. Most black people do not
speak in this manner. But this is the celebration of
gangsta of street. And it is quite telling that the
(20:15):
phrase that is used for this type of behavior is
keeping it real, suggesting it's a powerful mind worp, suggesting
that it is more authentic to be a hood rat,
a gangster, a pimp that if you speak in a
(20:38):
manner that might gain you entree to the boardroom, that
is inauthentic, that is not real. But to keep it real,
we must snap our fingers, steal something off the shelf,
cust somebody, out shoot somebody, and snatch someone's weave off
the top. That is keeping it real, real stupid. This
(21:01):
kind of mindset that permeates our entire culture as a
representation of black culture, is very harmful to blacks, and
many don't understand that, although some do now enter the
super candidate Jasmine Crockett. Now, when Jasmine Crockett ran, as
(21:24):
you'll hear later, she didn't speak in this tone that
she has taken to now. But much like AOC, once
she got on the national scene, she understood the more
bombastic you are, the more ridiculous your statements, the more
(21:46):
attention you get. It's like a child getting negative attention,
still attention. So she has announced her run for the Senate,
and this will be like Stacy Abrams, but on steroids.
This will be a moment that the national media will
(22:07):
use to drum up black support, and anyone who criticizes
her will be called a racist. There's only one problem.
There was a shining star among white liberals in the
race already named James Talerico, and he's an old fashioned
white liberal in the mold of a Beto O'Rourke or
(22:29):
Gavin Newsom. So there he was taking out his position.
You had a guy named Colin Alright who ran before
and lost. All Red's one of these guys like John Kerry.
He looks real good on paper, terrible on the stump.
Former college and pro football player, he's got a law degree,
(22:49):
he's been around liberal politics. He's black, he's not very smart,
but that's okay. And so it was going to be
all read in tallar Rico until the call came in
from Jasmine get out of the race, and he did.
(23:09):
He said he didn't want a bruising campaign with a woman.
Really she was going it was going to be bruising.
Was how is she going to bruise? You're supposed to
be a former pro athlete, supposed to be a tough guy.
You're afraid of this congressman who's done nothing but run
her mouth and act ghetto. And so here we are
(23:32):
in all of this with Jasmine Crockett, and she has
become as individuals often can be the face of an
entire movement. Kamala Harris drunkenly said during an interview a
couple of months ago that Jasmine Crockett is a star
on the horizon. What she has done to be a star,
(23:52):
It's unclear. She proposed more bills during her first term
in Congress than any other congressman, but one was passed.
She did lots of interviews. She made fun of the
Texas governor for being crippled. She made a very very
(24:14):
nasty and threatening statement toward Ted Cruz, So I mean,
I guess her bona fides are in order. She's mostly
just saying bombastic things that make for great TV headlines.
But can you imagine they're going to end up making
a movie about this cutting edge woman, this groundbreaker, this pioneer.
(24:36):
Say elo to the Sheila Jackson Lee sequel. Spoiler alert,
it's actually a horror this selection sees it. Texas has
a problem. Her name, Jazzy Jasmine Crockheads.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
They called me the hoodrat coindnessman from Texas. But baby,
I'm about to be a hoodrat center from the Hood
to the wholes of Power. The Queen of Crafts will
add her unique flare to the lone Star's state.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'll put some hood in your neighborhood, Sugar.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You see her on the evening news and you mistake
her for an eyewitness to.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
A waffle house brawl.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
In reality, she's pulling at one hundred percent among dead people.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Democracy's ratting with me today.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
From the creators of The Leaning Tower of Weav and
Revenge of the isle Hog, comes Jasmine Crockett Hood to the.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Hill in Theater's this election season rated. Oh no, she did.
There's an interesting paradox in politics today, the candidacy of
Jasmine Crockett for the United States Senate from Texas. A
(25:50):
woman who is smarter than she portrays. Now. I know
many people will say, Michael, she's not smart. I heard
her snawabing her fingers and talking sassy. That's not who
she is. That's a character she's playing. The fact that
she understands that that garners media attention. The fact that
(26:13):
she understands she is basically an influencer. She is a
person who is Tupac style, all eyes on me, who
does things to get people to look at her. Now,
most people wouldn't want negative attention. Most people frankly don't
want to be mentioned. You know, I'm surprised. Sometimes I
(26:36):
will mention a friend of mine on the air and
they go into a panic. Because people are uncomfortable being
at the dance and having their name called out. They
just they kind of want to just blend in not
be noticed. So when someone is noticed, there's kind of
a resentment toward them. And when they're noticed for being
(26:58):
loud and sassy and of notoxious and saying ugly things,
and people think they're dumb. They're not dumb. What they
can be, Sheela Jackson Lee was, but it is very
carefully calculated. It's sort of like if you own the
bakery and you make this cookie and nobody buys it,
(27:19):
or they take a bite, and everybody again, and make
this cookie and nobody and the third day you make
a cookie where you throw in some different spice in
different combination and people love it. That's what you start
making and selling. Somehow, Jasmine Crockett stumbled into what appears
(27:39):
to be a backwards black woman who is out of
place and angry and wants to fight someone because there
wasn't any ketchup in her bag of but there is
a place for that. Now, here's what's important to understand.
The first Senate campaign video she released was her against
(28:02):
a gray background. She has her hair more conservatively prepared.
She's wearing a lot of makeup. It's shot from the
side in a portrait style that is meant to convey strength,
but also more stability and maybe a sense of accomplishment.
(28:26):
The composition, as photographers will say, is right. She's at
the right distance, right screen. This is a professional who's
put this together. And the only audio that's playing is
Trump calling her low IQ. Here's the audio of the spot.
How about this new one. They have their new star, Crocket.
(28:46):
How about her?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
She's a new star of the Democratic Party, Jessmin Crockett.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
They're in big trouble, but you have this woman Crockett.
She's a very low IQ person. I watched her sphink
the other day. She's finally a low IQ person. Crockett.
Oh man, oh man.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
She's a very low ITQ person. Somebody said the other
day she's one of the leaders of the party.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I said, you gotta be kidding. Now, are they going
to rely on Crockett's going to bring on big Some
people will say that is Jasmine Crockett embracing the criticism
against her. She's not hiding from it. She knows what
(29:34):
is said. She's almost making herself a martyr. Other people
will say how stupid she's playing the stuff Trump says
about her that a lot of people know to be true.
Both of those seemingly contradictory reactions can be true at
(29:58):
the same time, and in fact they are true. The
great paradox of politics in America today is that being
controversial is not a bad thing. Being hated by half
the people is not a bad thing as long as
(30:18):
the other half of the people love you, And many
times the half of the people who love you love
you because you're hated by the other side. The things
that make people love Donald Trump the most are the
things that make his detractors hate him the most. Nobody
(30:39):
loved George W. Bush, Nobody loved his father. Nobody loved
John McCain. That was the problem. There was a charisma deficit.
How about Mitt Romney. Let's throw Mitt out there, a
guy who tells us that the trees in Michigan earlier
the right height. How about John McCain. You may love
(31:03):
John McCain, You may love Bob Dole. Look at the
candidates Republicans had rolled out after Reagan in eighty eight,
George HW Bush in ninety two, George HW Bush in
ninety six, Bob Dole two thousand, George W. Bush two
thousand and four, George W. Bush two thousand and eight,
(31:27):
John McCain twenty twelve. Mitt Romney talk about a charisma deficit.
People didn't identify with these guys. You're fishing buddies, you're
hunting buddies, you're golfing buddies. Nobody identifies with these guys.
They're stiff, they're stuffed, they're boring. Nobody likes that. Then
(31:55):
it long comes Trump. We didn't see anything like Trump.
Trump was closer to Huey Long or Bob la Filette
than he was one of these candidates. Trump was a populist, bombastic, direct, blunt,
(32:18):
straight to the point, insulting, demeaning, teasing, tough. It's a
thousand words you can use. Some of them might come
off as pejorative, but there are people who felt that
about him. One thing about Trump is you couldn't turn
it off. The then head of CNN, Jeffrey Zuckerberg, No,
(32:46):
Jeffrey what's his name, Zucker can't remember. He issued an
edict when Trump begins a rally, Jeff Zucker. When Trump
begins a rally, whatever we're doing, you cut to it.
The folks at CNN thought this was crazy. And then
(33:07):
what's the little guy that pretends to be a doctor,
the Indian guy, he's a doctor of he's annoying of
all things, you know, talking about he had done some
special that was airing, and all of a sudden, Trump
does it, and they cut into it Sanjay Gupta and
all of a sudden they cut to Trump at a
rally instead of what they thought was their prize when
(33:28):
and that's win. Zucker lost a lot of folks at
his network. But Zucker understood what no one else did.
Love him or hate him, you can't turn him off
in a way. Jasmine Crockett has learned from that. It's
very hard for her to win next November, but she's
(33:50):
just catapulted herself into the front runner position for the
Senate campaign. She's going to get all the press, she's
going to suck all the oxygen out of the room.
And this white liberal socialist James Tallerico can't say anything
bad about her because white liberals are so scared of
being called a racist. She's gonna call him a little
(34:10):
weenie willie woosy so many times it's gonna be embarrassing.
And I suspect she'll win the Democrat primary
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air. President Trump is
(00:26):
very frustrated with members of his own party and their unwillingness.
It's not inability, it's unwillingness to carry out his agenda.
And he is right to be angry. We are a
year into Republican control of the House, the Senate, in
(00:47):
the White House. Why don't you take a moment and
tell me what we've accomplished. This is as good as
it gets, folks. We got the president we want, doing
things like a man who doesn't have but a few
days left to live and wants to fix the world's problems.
We've got control the House, control the Senate. What have
(01:10):
we accomplished? You give the Democrats this kind of control.
They took over healthcare. What have we accomplished? So President Trump,
the story goes, was caught by a hot mic complaining
about Senate Republicans. Here's what he said. You knowed? He says,
(01:48):
you know, I can't appoint anybody. Everybody I've appointed their
time has expired. This is a process. A tradition, is
the blue slip tradition. It is a process by which
Republicans allow Democrats to prevent the president from enacting his agenda.
(02:15):
This is the swamp at its absolute worst. These are
the behind the scenes machinations. These people don't love Trump.
John Cornyn his running ads in Texas about how he
stood strong with Donald Trump. John Cornyn hates Donald Trump.
(02:38):
John Cornyn urged Americans last year to move past Trump,
don't vote for Trump. He didn't want Trump to be president.
He doesn't like Trump. A lot of these people will smile,
they'll show up at the rallies because he can draw
a crowd. He's back out on the road in Pennsylvania
(02:59):
because he under stands if he stays stuck in DC,
he loses his power. His power does not come from
the party. It does not come from the party politicians.
It comes from you. It comes upward. They don't want
to show up at one of his events and him
say something bad about him. If Donald Trump so much
(03:21):
as nods to them at an event where you show up,
that boosts them in the polls. They're only saying pro
Trump things and pro Maga things because that's what it
takes to get elected. They wouldn't do it otherwise. But
he's right. He can't appoint his people. The Democrats are
(03:46):
holding him up, and Grassley is allowing that to happen.
This is that moment where Robert the Bruce was working
behind the scenes in Brave Heart. Rememberilliam Wallace mel Gibson
represented the little people, the people who did not have lands,
(04:07):
people who worked them, the people who had been terrorized
by the English king. And so the nobles said, you
fight the war, we'll back you up, we'll fund it.
The nobles had hired help, hired mercenaries on horseback with
better equipment. But William Wallace, he represented the men of
(04:30):
the land and they were fighting with their hearts. So
what did King Longshanks do? He cut a deal with
the Scottish nobles. All right, you guys have fought a
good war. Here's what we'll do. When the next battle
begins and the attack begins. You call off your cavalry,
(04:57):
you turn and leave help us, and we'll slaughter the
very people who were fighting for your side, the people
who have nothing, they don't have lance, And in exchange,
I will expand your lance, and we will destroy the
maga of your people, and I will give you the
(05:18):
elected officials. Will I will enlarge your holdings like a
prayer a job as here. And so they did, and
Robert the Bruce was unmasked by William Wallace, and it
was a dagger through his heart to realize what had
(05:43):
just happened. And Robert the Bruce is explaining to his father,
those men fight for William Wallace because they believe in him,
not because they pay him or they fear him, because
they believe in him. I want that well, the swamp
will never have that. You support Trump, not because he
(06:06):
pays you or gives you anything, but because you believe
in this country, and you believe that he believes in
this country. Remember that scene.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I must have a lions with England to prevail here.
He achieved that, he saved your family, increased your land.
In time, he will have all the power in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Dance titles, men power, nothing nothing, I have nothing. Win
fight for me, because if they do not, I throw
them off from my land, and I start their wives
and their children.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Those men who bled the ground read at Folker.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They fought for William Wallace.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And he fights for something that I've never had, and
I took it from him when I betrayed him and
I saw it in his face on the battlefield, and
it's tearing me apart.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
In betray all those heart I want to.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Believe as he does, I'll never be on the wrong
side again.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Sports fans know that you have what is known as
a generational talent, a Tiger Woods who comes along a
Michael Jordan. Donald Trump is a generational leader in this country.
People support what he stands for to such an extent
(07:33):
that even when he does things they don't understand that
they disagreed with yesterday, they will bite their tongue because
they don't want to hurt the movement when he pardons
Henry Quaar or sends chips to China, because they want
this movement to survive and thrive, and because they understand
(07:57):
that the Democrats and the media and the Republican elected
officials are all out to destroy him. Republicans are conspiring
with the Democrats to keep the president's judges off the bench,
and they're succeeding. And that should make you. It sounds
(08:23):
like this that Michael Barry Joe that don't indicates everything
is ready for your call. President Trump was caught on
the hot night stomping through the White House mad that
he can't appoint his judges to the bench because the
Republicans won't do it. This is Thune doing this, This
(08:45):
is Grassly doing this, and by the way, it's Corning.
Corning has worked behind the scenes to thwart Donald Trump
at every turn and then has the audacity to come
back to Texas and tell us how well he's working
with Donald Trump. They're going to spend one hundred million dollars.
Filing was completed in the state of Texas yesterday. John Cornyn,
(09:07):
over twenty years a senator in Texas, is being challenged
by the attorney general who's leading the race, a several
term congressman named Wesley Hunt, who's in second place, in
John Cornyn, who's in third, despite spending forty million dollars
attacking the other two. This race is going to suck
(09:29):
up so much cash for the Republicans that there won't
be money left for the close states. And a Senate
seat is a Senate seat. They're all equal, whether it's
from Vermont, South Dakota, Texas, California, and New York Florida.
Big state, small state. But they are spending a fortune.
They're projected to spend one hundred million dollars on his
(09:52):
losing campaign. Why is it so important if you live
outside of Texas? Did you even know who John Cornyn was?
You think he's somebody we can't live without. Of course not,
but he's a very important lieutenant in the swamp movement.
He's the one that takes the other folks when they
come to town to decide and say, hey, don't get
(10:14):
out of line here, Okay, we can break you. We're
more powerful than the people. So the president can't put
his judges on the bench, and everything's going to be
appealed to the bench. We know that, we've seen the
importance of that. So the Republicans are effectively, essentially and
(10:36):
by design, destroying the mag of movement. Here is the
President saying the same thing to reporters. He said on
the hot mic. He has attorney for the district of
New Jersey after the courts disqualified her. Do you have
any comment on that?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
If she's not the qualified, you've got a blue slip thing.
That's horrible. It's a horrible thing. It makes it impossible
to appoint the judge or US attorney and it's a
shamed and the Republicans should be ashamed. Of themselves that
they allowed us to go on because I can't appoint
a US attorney that's not a Democrat because they put
a block on it. So if you appoint in Virginia
(11:13):
or in New Jersey, or in California US attorney or
a judge, I mean to a judge, situation is ridiculous.
The only people that you can get buy are Democrats
because they will put a hold on it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If I put up George.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Washington and Abraham Lincoln to be a US attorney in
New Jersey or to be US attorney in Virginia, we
have Democrat senators.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
They will not approve them.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And this is a gentleman's agreement that's lasted.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
For too loll and it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Doesn't make it, especially in light of what's going on today.
It means you can't appoint a Republican US attorney and
we don't play the same game with them, but they do.
And I hope that somebody speaks to a senator grassly
about doing something about the blue slip, because.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm telling you, if John.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I put up great people, top people, highest education, the
best lawyers to be like US attorneys and both senators,
it only takes one but if they're Democrats Senators, they say,
we're not going to improve it. I had a couple
of them say, what are your point, Democrats?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
All because Senator.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Grassley with his blue slip stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Will not let anybody go by.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
By the way, the Democrats have violated the blue slip
provision on numerous occasions, but we don't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And what it means is, I guess they just have
to keep appointing people for three months and then just
appoint another one another one.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
And it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We're losing tremendous We're losing a lot of great people.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We have about seven US attorneys who are not going
to be able to keep their jobs much longer because
of the blue because unless I think I know why
they did that to protect their ass Okay, that's why
they did that, but.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It should be done away with.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I want to be able to appoint great the most
highly educated, the most respected people. They can't keep that
jobs because of the blue slips.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We bear some responsibility here, folks. We've sent too many
people back to Congress, too many people back to the
Senate because that was the name we recognized. Because we
didn't bother to listen to the alternatives, to the challengers,
because the consultants got in your ear and said, you
(13:41):
can't replace Mitch McConnell with this other person. They won't
be able to beat the Democrats in November. You know
why that is. We'll give you a great example. It
was twenty ten. There was a fellow named Todd Aiken, doctor,
well regarded social conservative. He won the Republican nomination in
(14:06):
Missouri against the incumbent Claire mccaskell. Tea Party fervor was
at a high. Carl Rove saw the Tea Party for
what it was a threat to his power, a threat
to the meetings where they fly jets out to these
mountain retreats and the billionaires gather and they pick, like
the mafia, who the leaders will be. Well, Todd Aiken
(14:30):
was a Tea Party candidate and he won the primary
against Rove's guy. So it gets closer to November and
Todd Aikin was asked a question about abortion and if
the woman was raped, and he made this statement, well,
if she says she was raped, we need to find out,
(14:55):
in other words, as we know happens. Does that happened?
One percent of the time, nine a percent of the time,
somewhere in between. It matters. There are women who claim
they were raped. In fact, it was thought to be
a phenomenon. It's been said anyway that there were white
women who were having a baby with a black man
who would claim they were raped because their daddy would
(15:17):
kill them for having slept with a black man. And
so there were claims of rape. How often did it happen?
I don't know. Did it happen? I feel certain it did.
There are other cases. Girl gets in trouble, she's dating
a boy, they break up, She's devastated. She says I
(15:38):
was raped by him. Because now she's ashamed, she's pregnant,
she's scared. We know that there are claims of rape
that are not true. You can't believe all women any
more than you can believe all mugging victims, burglary victims,
carjacking victims, or family of murder victims. You have to investigate.
(16:04):
We're not Saudi Arabia. We have a system of jurisprudence.
So what happened? They made Todd Acin out to be
a man who did not believe that women could ever
get raped, and therefore he didn't have the temperament. You see,
it's always about who can carry themselves probably, and so
(16:26):
Todd Akin was defeated Claire macaskell, who won that Senate
seat that we would have won in Missouris wing state.
She ended up being Barack Obama's campaign chairman in twenty twelve.
And Karl Rove just keeps rolling on getting rich. I
was the hunt and now I'm the hunter. Michael Ferry, somebody, Dawn.
(16:47):
Interesting thing happening in Texas is going to get a
lot of national attention. You've got a woman named Jasmine
Crockett born in Saint Louis, lived in an upper middle
class community, very similar to AOC in this case. But
then when she started running, she from the streets. So
(17:09):
she became some sort of a Cardi B character, but
a low grade Cardi B. We call her Cardi C,
a low grade kind of hustler. You'll remember when Barack
Obama was running, Los Angeles Times had an editorial during
(17:32):
the in the primary because they wanted Hillary Clinton, and
they referred to him as Barack the magic Negro, and
they were resentful of the fact that we had a
black candidate who was vying for the nomination of a
major party who was not Jesse Jackson. So here was
(17:54):
a guy who could be taken seriously because he could
stand up probably, he could put the g on the words,
not drip them. And he was not from the hood,
you see. He was a better educated man. See, and
he was polite. And we needed to have a black
president and he would do so. We were all supposed
to fall in line and be very excited. This is
a historic moment. That's why they got so set with Rush,
(18:16):
who said, in four words, I hope he fails. And
it turns out we all did. Rush was prescient and unafraid.
You look at the number of Republicans who said, I
hope he succeeds. This will be a great moment for America. Well,
he succeeded, all right. He succeeded in destroying a part
of this country. He succeeded in killing a lot of
(18:38):
dreams and businesses. Oh, he succeeded, all right, mister Republican
who wanted to say the right thing because you're scared
that he's black. So there were moments, however, that Barack
Obama would engage in a little ghetto, he'd get a
little gangster. His tone would start to start to change
when he was out on the on the campaign trail,
(19:01):
particularly in a largely black audience of sayah, Detroit or
Philadelphia or Baltimore, and he would take on this black
preacher tone that would that would occasionally go gangster. And
you could just imagine Denzel Washington channeling this this inner
you know, black hoodlum leader, gangst them, bad boy pimp,
(19:25):
and occasionally he would roll that out. In fact, Hillary
Clinton even felt the need to do that in quoting
the Reverend James Cleveland at one point, I don't feel
no ways tired. I come too far from where I
started from. Nobody told me that the road would be zy.
(19:50):
I don't believe he brought me this far. There is
this desperate need to pander to a black audience by
to the lowest common denominator. Most black people do not
speak in this manner. But this is the celebration of
gangsta of street. And it is quite telling that the
(20:15):
phrase that is used for this type of behavior is
keeping it real, suggesting it's a powerful mind worp, suggesting
that it is more authentic to be a hood rat,
a gangster, a pimp that if you speak in a
(20:38):
manner that might gain you entree to the boardroom, that
is inauthentic, that is not real. But to keep it real,
we must snap our fingers, steal something off the shelf,
cust somebody, out shoot somebody, and snatch someone's weave off
the top. That is keeping it real, real stupid. This
(21:01):
kind of mindset that permeates our entire culture as a
representation of black culture, is very harmful to blacks, and
many don't understand that, although some do now enter the
super candidate Jasmine Crockett. Now, when Jasmine Crockett ran, as
(21:24):
you'll hear later, she didn't speak in this tone that
she has taken to now. But much like AOC, once
she got on the national scene, she understood the more
bombastic you are, the more ridiculous your statements, the more
(21:46):
attention you get. It's like a child getting negative attention,
still attention. So she has announced her run for the Senate,
and this will be like Stacy Abrams, but on steroids.
This will be a moment that the national media will
(22:07):
use to drum up black support, and anyone who criticizes
her will be called a racist. There's only one problem.
There was a shining star among white liberals in the
race already named James Talerico, and he's an old fashioned
white liberal in the mold of a Beto O'Rourke or
(22:29):
Gavin Newsom. So there he was taking out his position.
You had a guy named Colin Alright who ran before
and lost. All Red's one of these guys like John Kerry.
He looks real good on paper, terrible on the stump.
Former college and pro football player, he's got a law degree,
(22:49):
he's been around liberal politics. He's black, he's not very smart,
but that's okay. And so it was going to be
all read in tallar Rico until the call came in
from Jasmine get out of the race, and he did.
(23:09):
He said he didn't want a bruising campaign with a woman.
Really she was going it was going to be bruising.
Was how is she going to bruise? You're supposed to
be a former pro athlete, supposed to be a tough guy.
You're afraid of this congressman who's done nothing but run
her mouth and act ghetto. And so here we are
(23:32):
in all of this with Jasmine Crockett, and she has
become as individuals often can be the face of an
entire movement. Kamala Harris drunkenly said during an interview a
couple of months ago that Jasmine Crockett is a star
on the horizon. What she has done to be a star,
(23:52):
It's unclear. She proposed more bills during her first term
in Congress than any other congressman, but one was passed.
She did lots of interviews. She made fun of the
Texas governor for being crippled. She made a very very
(24:14):
nasty and threatening statement toward Ted Cruz, So I mean,
I guess her bona fides are in order. She's mostly
just saying bombastic things that make for great TV headlines.
But can you imagine they're going to end up making
a movie about this cutting edge woman, this groundbreaker, this pioneer.
(24:36):
Say elo to the Sheila Jackson Lee sequel. Spoiler alert,
it's actually a horror this selection sees it. Texas has
a problem. Her name, Jazzy Jasmine Crockheads.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
They called me the hoodrat coindnessman from Texas. But baby,
I'm about to be a hoodrat center from the Hood
to the wholes of Power. The Queen of Crafts will
add her unique flare to the lone Star's state.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'll put some hood in your neighborhood, Sugar.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You see her on the evening news and you mistake
her for an eyewitness to.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
A waffle house brawl.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
In reality, she's pulling at one hundred percent among dead people.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Democracy's ratting with me today.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
From the creators of The Leaning Tower of Weav and
Revenge of the isle Hog, comes Jasmine Crockett Hood to the.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Hill in Theater's this election season rated. Oh no, she did.
There's an interesting paradox in politics today, the candidacy of
Jasmine Crockett for the United States Senate from Texas. A
(25:50):
woman who is smarter than she portrays. Now. I know
many people will say, Michael, she's not smart. I heard
her snawabing her fingers and talking sassy. That's not who
she is. That's a character she's playing. The fact that
she understands that that garners media attention. The fact that
(26:13):
she understands she is basically an influencer. She is a
person who is Tupac style, all eyes on me, who
does things to get people to look at her. Now,
most people wouldn't want negative attention. Most people frankly don't
want to be mentioned. You know, I'm surprised. Sometimes I
(26:36):
will mention a friend of mine on the air and
they go into a panic. Because people are uncomfortable being
at the dance and having their name called out. They
just they kind of want to just blend in not
be noticed. So when someone is noticed, there's kind of
a resentment toward them. And when they're noticed for being
(26:58):
loud and sassy and of notoxious and saying ugly things,
and people think they're dumb. They're not dumb. What they
can be, Sheela Jackson Lee was, but it is very
carefully calculated. It's sort of like if you own the
bakery and you make this cookie and nobody buys it,
(27:19):
or they take a bite, and everybody again, and make
this cookie and nobody and the third day you make
a cookie where you throw in some different spice in
different combination and people love it. That's what you start
making and selling. Somehow, Jasmine Crockett stumbled into what appears
(27:39):
to be a backwards black woman who is out of
place and angry and wants to fight someone because there
wasn't any ketchup in her bag of but there is
a place for that. Now, here's what's important to understand.
The first Senate campaign video she released was her against
(28:02):
a gray background. She has her hair more conservatively prepared.
She's wearing a lot of makeup. It's shot from the
side in a portrait style that is meant to convey strength,
but also more stability and maybe a sense of accomplishment.
(28:26):
The composition, as photographers will say, is right. She's at
the right distance, right screen. This is a professional who's
put this together. And the only audio that's playing is
Trump calling her low IQ. Here's the audio of the spot.
How about this new one. They have their new star, Crocket.
(28:46):
How about her?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
She's a new star of the Democratic Party, Jessmin Crockett.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
They're in big trouble, but you have this woman Crockett.
She's a very low IQ person. I watched her sphink
the other day. She's finally a low IQ person. Crockett.
Oh man, oh man.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
She's a very low ITQ person. Somebody said the other
day she's one of the leaders of the party.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I said, you gotta be kidding. Now, are they going
to rely on Crockett's going to bring on big Some
people will say that is Jasmine Crockett embracing the criticism
against her. She's not hiding from it. She knows what
(29:34):
is said. She's almost making herself a martyr. Other people
will say how stupid she's playing the stuff Trump says
about her that a lot of people know to be true.
Both of those seemingly contradictory reactions can be true at
(29:58):
the same time, and in fact they are true. The
great paradox of politics in America today is that being
controversial is not a bad thing. Being hated by half
the people is not a bad thing as long as
(30:18):
the other half of the people love you, And many
times the half of the people who love you love
you because you're hated by the other side. The things
that make people love Donald Trump the most are the
things that make his detractors hate him the most. Nobody
(30:39):
loved George W. Bush, Nobody loved his father. Nobody loved
John McCain. That was the problem. There was a charisma deficit.
How about Mitt Romney. Let's throw Mitt out there, a
guy who tells us that the trees in Michigan earlier
the right height. How about John McCain. You may love
(31:03):
John McCain, You may love Bob Dole. Look at the
candidates Republicans had rolled out after Reagan in eighty eight,
George HW Bush in ninety two, George HW Bush in
ninety six, Bob Dole two thousand, George W. Bush two
thousand and four, George W. Bush two thousand and eight,
(31:27):
John McCain twenty twelve. Mitt Romney talk about a charisma deficit.
People didn't identify with these guys. You're fishing buddies, you're
hunting buddies, you're golfing buddies. Nobody identifies with these guys.
They're stiff, they're stuffed, they're boring. Nobody likes that. Then
(31:55):
it long comes Trump. We didn't see anything like Trump.
Trump was closer to Huey Long or Bob la Filette
than he was one of these candidates. Trump was a populist, bombastic, direct, blunt,
(32:18):
straight to the point, insulting, demeaning, teasing, tough. It's a
thousand words you can use. Some of them might come
off as pejorative, but there are people who felt that
about him. One thing about Trump is you couldn't turn
it off. The then head of CNN, Jeffrey Zuckerberg, No,
(32:46):
Jeffrey what's his name, Zucker can't remember. He issued an
edict when Trump begins a rally, Jeff Zucker. When Trump
begins a rally, whatever we're doing, you cut to it.
The folks at CNN thought this was crazy. And then
(33:07):
what's the little guy that pretends to be a doctor,
the Indian guy, he's a doctor of he's annoying of
all things, you know, talking about he had done some
special that was airing, and all of a sudden, Trump
does it, and they cut into it Sanjay Gupta and
all of a sudden they cut to Trump at a
rally instead of what they thought was their prize when
(33:28):
and that's win. Zucker lost a lot of folks at
his network. But Zucker understood what no one else did.
Love him or hate him, you can't turn him off
in a way. Jasmine Crockett has learned from that. It's
very hard for her to win next November, but she's
(33:50):
just catapulted herself into the front runner position for the
Senate campaign. She's going to get all the press, she's
going to suck all the oxygen out of the room.
And this white liberal socialist James Tallerico can't say anything
bad about her because white liberals are so scared of
being called a racist. She's gonna call him a little
(34:10):
weenie willie woosy so many times it's gonna be embarrassing.
And I suspect she'll win the Democrat primary
